#The absolute arrogance of it

An eternal middle finger to whomever at Microsoft was/is responsible for thinking it deeply necessary for my PC to shut itself down whilst several applications are running, in each of which unsaved work is open, in order for it to install updates which, I expect, will have absolutely no impact on how I continue to use it (apart from, perhaps, awakening a desire to set it barbarically on fire)
Sorry. Just needed to scream into the void.
#It's the bloody middle of a Thursday afternoon#Genuinely though I do want to know what the reasoning is#Like???#Just shutting down EVERYTHING?#In the middle of use?#At whim? Of its own volition?#Can one not program a check for this? Or something?#The absolute arrogance of it#“YOU *WILL* HAVE OUR UPDATES AND YOU WILL HAVE THEM PRECISELY WHEN WE SAY SO.”#This isn't even the first time I've lost work to this exact variety of absurdity#May your showers always be cold and your toast always land butter-side down

Bruce gets accosted by reporters and one of them asks "Is it true that you're in competition with Superman to win Batman's affections?" and he is so taken aback bc what the fuck are they even talking about? There are a million questions going through his head such as, since when was superman into batman? since when was this public knowledge? wtf did bruce say to imply that he was into batman as well? And he doesn't have an answer to any of these questions so he just smiles and says, "No, I'm not. The word competition implies that Superman has a chance, which he does not."
why did he say that? Bruce doesn't know, it just felt like that's how Bruce Wayne would've responded bc what's more Brucie than fighting with Superman for Batman's heart? anyway, upon reflection, this was maybe not the best response in terms of long term consequences, but he's committed to the bit now.
a week after all this goes down, news reporter Clark Kent is caught saying that Batman deserves better than Bruce Wayne, so is a third suitor putting his hat in the ring to win over batman?
#superman was already iffy on bruce wayne#now he has a true hatred for the man for#1) declaring his intentions toward someone he has feelings for#2) not only implying that he is better boyfriend material than /Superman/#but that he’s so much better that superman isn’t even competition#/bruce wayne/#notable playboy and idiot#a better choice as a boyfriend#the absolute arrogance#batman#bruce wayne#superman#clark kent#superbat#dc#dc comics#mine

Julian Bashir walks a very fine, maddening line between “self-loathing imposter syndrome who knows almost everyone who speaks to him for more than a minute finds him insufferable” and “incredibly self assured and annoyingly arrogant to the point of a minor god complex”.
He knows he’s attractive, he thinks he’s charming as all hell, he knows he’s the smartest person in the room (while also being acutely aware he’s going to put his foot in his mouth any second now), and he just swings wildly between “I don’t deserve anything I have, none of this is mine, my life is not my own, I am a monster” and “HELL YEAH LOOK HOW COOL AND SMART I AM GUYS ARE YOU LOOKING ARE YOU LOOKING”.
And then there’s episodes that reveal that underneath that annoying arrogance, at the very core of who he is, he really, really just wants to help people, and if he fucks that up he WILL take it personally and hold himself responsible even if there’s no way he could have known and like. Can you imagine what his first patient death was like for him. Can you imagine what a fucking nightmare his brain must be 24/7.
He is somehow as inherently self assured as he is in need of constant validation for his ego because you can SEE him break a little when that ego fails him, even a little, and it’s just.
He’s very fun to write. I hate him. (I love him so much, but oh my god.)
#stella talks#star trek#star trek ds9#julian Bashir#.he knows how attractive he is. literally cannot conceive that Jadzia might NOT want to fuck him.#.he knows how smart he is and is an absolute idiot about it.#.and like it’s so hard to work out is he super self assured because he knows he’s engineered and even though he hates it he still KNOWS.#.like he KNOWS he is objectively going to be smarter and more athletic and etc bc he was MADE to be that way.#.which then plays into how he has that fun dichotomy of self loathing tied up in his arrogance.#.manages to see himself as both gods gift to the world and a pathetic monster at the same time.#.anyway this is why in my fic I am giving him the fun combination of sex repulsed and hypersexual due to trauma.#.because Bashir is a man of completely polar opposites conflicting personality traits and I want to be faithful.#trek meta

while i was away i picked a new show to try at random and oh gosh...Mr. Adrian Monk 🫠💖🫠💖 he is just so wonderful. one of the prettiest smiles i've ever seen. you could just drown in those eyes 🙈✨
#it is so so gratifying to find interesting and relatable depictions of neurodivergence trauma disorders and OCD#i was genuinely getting so choked up even at the first episode and imprinted onto him like a duckling#this sweet man gets absolutely tortured in this show and deserves none of it but OH. it is so so gratifying to see him WIN 🔥🔥🔥#he's so shy and sensitive but it's that undercurrent of (totally deserved) righteous arrogance that makes him a winner for me dfgfdsf#absolutely adore him. i would love to hold his hand (if he would allow it - i'm okay with using gloves) 😭💖💖#adrian monk#monk#mr monk#tony shalhoub#starleskatalks

He ain't slick, I saw what it said before he edited it
I will now be overthinking about this until Saturday
#rotating it in my mind because saying it wasn't his fault then taking it back??#is he actually back to being a total asshole to everyone and not giving a fuck or is he just trying to pretend so he isn't vulnerable again#his character work has always been a strong point and there was always a thread of insecurity covered up with arrogance#keeping people at a distance emotionally and being willing to fuck over anyone as long as he comes out on top but we are post-btybb#seems like danny wasn't able to be useful in taking out ospreay (who absolutely would make mjf feel like he's being replaced)#so the payoff of getting close to him wasn't worth the risk anymore#mjf's self defence has always been building weapons to hurt other people before they can hurt him first#so it makes sense that danny is just a necessary casualty#and he's always turned on people but mjf cracked open his shell during btybb before getting stabbed in the back#maybe knowing how it feels to be on the receiving end made him want to tell danny what he wished someone would've told him#but then he remembered he isn't gonna be max anymore and let his guard down. he's back to being MJF and Better Than You#MJF#Danny Garcia#TW: blood

started watching iwtv and yeah sam reid is a little bit too macho to be lestat like he’s not nearly twinky enough and lestat de lioncourt could never have a thick neck like that but mannn does he make up for it with sluttiness
#10/10 to sam#i absolutely love his performance#the sheer arrogance and horniness of lestat is better in the show than the movie imo#i don’t dislike the movie btw but i like how the show reinvents the story while studying the same themes#iwtv#interview with the vampire#iwtv season 2#lestat de lioncourt#anne rice#the vampire lestat#sam reid#louis de pointe du lac#vampires#gothic fiction#loustat

No one has "child of Aphrodite "ed quite as hard in the history of anything
Like, charmspeak, charisma, overwhelming beauty? Check, Check and Check. She fucking glows. She's got an inflated ego that is constantly validated by EVERYONE around her. She has a tendency towards pettiness and vapid thougts. She is offended by the mere thought of someone simply not wanting to date her.
No other character in the history of anything gives off more, "child of the goddess of beauty" energy than her.
#percy jackson#heros of olympus#anime#saiki k#teruhashi kokomi#percy jackson au#Teruhashi would absolutely get smited in ancient greece for arrogance

baldur’s gate 3 really is the game of all time for the gays who want to celebrate both sad pathetic wet men AND women’s wrongs
#baldur’s gate 3#bg3#astarion#minthara#minthara baenre#i am still thinking about that post i saw a couple of days ago#where OP was mad about men being categorized as babygirls and women as the only braincell havers#and OP was right that the latter girlboss-ification of women while subsequently never letting the narrative focus on them#(or having fandoms actually focus on them)#is depressing and exhausting#but that’s why!!! bg3 is so great imo!!!#the women characters in bg3 are absolutely the main appeal of this game!!#like yes astarion is extremely popular and with good reason#but he is not the only character with a delightfully feral and dedicated fan base happy to excuse all his wrongs because of his big sad eyes#/flourishes both hands @ minthara baenre will smith style#look at this sad war criminal and her big sad eyes and her arrogance and her insecurity#and her devastating sense of humour#she is hyperfixation material

every day I wish for a Taylor Doesn't Turn Herself In AU simply so she can interact with Accord. I want Taylor "raised by an English professor" Hebert to bond with Accord over ruthless supervillainy for the greater good, the importance of public infrastructure, and respecting good old English grammar.
#I think Accord would afford her grudging respect#she's disorderly but he can generously attribute that to the Folly of Youth#she's got the spirit#he leaves with distaste for most of the Undersiders but a vague hope that The Kids Are Alright#taylor muses about the arrogance of imposing your idea of a perfect world upon others through conquest#this is of course covering the fact that her distrust for authority is screaming at her and she does not want Accord controlling HER#she then is like “gotta go! I have civilians questioning my absolute rule and black widows to put on their balls”#taylor hebert#self aware queen#worm#worm spoilers#skitter#accord#parahumans#wormblr

What would happen if one of the twins, most likely Jon calls Otto a servant during an argument. Whose side would Viserys take? Maybe Jon overheard Otto bad-mouthing Daemon and pouring poison in Viserys ears. Jon protested, Otto got sneery and haughty and Jon dropped the 'servant' bomb. What would everyone's reactions be. How would Alicent react to being reduced to a servant's daughter and how would her children. What about the court? Rhaenyra and her family? The rest of the Velaryons?
I mean, Otto is the member of a very proud house, so I doubt many lords would look kindly on an uppity young prince denigrating him, though they might dismiss it as Daemon's bad influence. Otto would probably be incredibly smooth about it, and take on an air of saintly patience/humility and profess to being a servant of the realm, young prince, there is no shame in that.
Not that there wouldn't be a few people cheering him on, but generally, an eight-year-old prince low in the succession acting like he's the better of a man who has spent decades serving two different Targaryen kings as Hand and is the father of the queen isn't going to cause many ripples beyond hurting Daemon's reputation by proxy.
#resonant asks#generally the level of arrogance accepted by courtiers/smallfolk is a function of how high said person is in the succession#(and if they are a man; rhaenyra doing anything like this would be spun into a scandal by otto)#“she doesn't respect the great houses of the realm”#like yes this is an absolute monarchy with a royal family ruling with dragons/nukes but the lords have their pride still

"goodsir is neoliberalism bc he tried to kill those guys blah blah blah" they kidnapped him and then they made him cut up men to be consumed as an act of control and pure humiliation by threatening to kill probably the last man he still liked in that party, forcing him to be complicit in an act he is viciously against, and to be complicit in the survival of the very men who betrayed the whole expedition and who are using him like a tool. and then the guy he's trying to protect comes up to him to sob and monologue at him about cannibalism and religion and acts of survival and belief as some kind of justification for the fact that he's an absolute pussy ass bitch who'd rather lie down and take it than stand up in the face of acts and circumstances he finds abhorrent. and goodsir was supposed to not be a cunt abt that? lol
#it's so important that in ep 1 we see him trying to argue with stanley bc he doesn't want to cut into young bc he asked him not to#and stanely is like. cut into him you loser. and like he does it but he really doesn't like it bc young specifically asked for the opposite#it's desecration of his last wishes#and then in the mutineers camp he is forced to cut into someone again when he absolutely does not want to#he doesn't want to be complicit in the cannibalism and he doesn't want to help the mutineers#which hickey knows. so he uses the act of cutting up the bodies as an act of humiliation#just as stanley standing there like a hardass doing fuck all except be an ass only you know. worse.#so often when goodsir tries to do what he thinks is right someone with more power tries or does prevent him to do so#and the comparison to stanley burning everyone as a mercy kill doesn't hold up for me bc at that point so much just has not happened yet#completely different situations. at carnivale stanley has lost hope where everyone else still has at least some of it#at mutiny camp there's a couple men who betrayed everyone else out of arrogance and selfishness#and hickey gets off on humiliating those who he thinks think are better than him. hodge for his previous position. goodsir for his morality#like goodsir was not needed to cut into those bodies. and he knows he isn't he deadass says that.#the only reason hickey makes him do it is bc he needs to humiliate him.#brother id be so fucking mad id start killing everyone too#the terror#harry goodsir#it's like listen i get where the argument is coming from. but also i think this is a very understandable thing to do from his perspective

some of you should not speak on dennis until you've rewatched sunny in full instead of just the macden-centric eps.
#literally not even a matter of like. different interpretations it's just some of y'all forget literal canon events that disprove shit#i get schooled by people abt den too i have my weaknesses w writing him#but like oh my god#some of y'all would be better off if you looked at him outside of a macden context#he's not evil incarnate#he's fucked up and he does awful shit#but that is a little boy wearing an adult face#to just make him evil for no reason completely removes any interesting bits of him.#one of the keys to sunny's writing is that#rcg always makes sure that motivation is understandable *in that character's eyes*#dennis has a very specific purpose for everything he does#he isn't just cruel for no fucking reason#he's 'brutally honest' because he thinks its his duty to break the news#he's absolutely entitled and arrogant and misogynistic#but he doesn't set out to be Mean just for the sake of it#den thinks he is doing good. he thinks he's in the right. its not him it's everyone else.#he's doing you a favour by saying you're ugly (and propping up his own decimated self esteem)#that being said he's also not innocent pookie either#but i would say its like. in a lot of ways he IS oblivious to the reality of what hes saying/doing#part of that is his privilege as a white man who grew up being supported by and continues to be supported by his parent's wealth#but the gang enables the shit he does just as frank financially enables him#they are so insular it's like impossible to break out of the gang and interact with normal people#because if they don't get it then dennis is going straight back to the gang to feel validated and to hell w everyone else#on some level he knows shit is unacceptable but he's never learned Why and never will because theres no reason to#like when mac is completely fucking shocked by den talking abt the implication dennis CANNOT let that go unchecked#he needs mac to understand him because he's realizing that it's *actually* fucked up. bc even mac thinks so.#and when dee calls what happened with klinsky Rape everything IMMEDIATELY crumbles for him#dennis is introspective but he will justify shit and compartmentalize until his friends challenge it#he looks to media; tv and movies where the protagonist gets away with shit because its schlock fiction#and dennis DOES see himself as a protagonist. it's all justifiable bc he's the good guy.
