#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#lan xichen#Ring ring! It's your judgment call! None of the lan brothers are there to pick it up!#Lan Xichen is so openly like 'I trust Jin Guangyao so much! Our bond is so deep! I believe in him like you believe in wwx!'#The tension! I remember not knowing how this would go because woagh the red flags for betrayal were so strong here.#Now I have spoiler brain so I mostly see the heartbreak coming but I still remember the anxiety of thinking lxc would betray lwj.#The way LXC compares his relationship to JGY is so funny to me. They aren't technically canon but...like....come on.#LXC *also* lets on that he knows LWJ has feelings for WWX. The implications are the loudest subtext I have seen.#Personally I see it as romantically one-sided on LXCs side. I think JGY knows and LXC denies his heart.#I think the tragedy is that JGY can't move past his need to make everything a game of chess to see LXC as more than an oppertunity#Here's the bigger tragedy: The one time he followed his heart...it led him to Qin-Su. Whom he loved dearly!#but...oh god was that ever a massive disaster that must have been internalized as 'following my heart is a mistake I can never make again.'#Ah - Happy Puffy Sleeves WWX debut day!

How Things In Ferelden Actually Went Down During The Events Of Dragon Age: Veilguard
[The Inquisitor, Leliana, Cassandra, and Vivienne at one of their regular catch-up meetings, all lounging on cushions together and drinking tea]
Inquisitor: Aaaaand done, with this next missive to send to the Veilguard! Leliana, please have it delivered via your sloppiest of spies. Maybe take 2 or 3 copies that can get conveniently lost along the way, for the Venatori and Antaam.
Leliana, reading the letter: Really? You're making it sound as if Ferelden is doomed. Yes there've been skirmishes, but nothing near what we saw a decade ago. We don't have nearly as many darkspawn as they're seeing in the north, and Orzammar is silent because they have started another one of their councils that last for months, not because they've fallen.
Cassandra, snatching it to read next: What? Yes, the armies of Orlais and all our chantry support is kept busy at the moment, but hardly the level of devastation you're implying.
Vivienne: What are you up to, Darling?
Inquisitor: Well the last time the world went to shit none of them came down to help us. Just let them think we're too busy to offer more assistance, it's fine. They can manage.
Cassandra: Shouldn't we at least give them our intel on Solas?
Inquisitor: I'll handle it, Morrigan said I can pop over through the eluvian and be back for dinner.
Inquisitor: Besides, they got Varric killed. I'm not risking anyone else.
#the land is NOT all destroyed and blighted its fine there actually :)#i mean like at the end of Asunder we were firmly led to believe thedas was falling apart and val royaux was possibly burned to the ground#and then at the beginning of inquisition everything was FINE everyone was just unruly#just cant trust em! to keep a canon anyway so make ur own up#dragon age: veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the velguard spoilers#datv spoilers#da4 spoilers#ferelden#jade plays dav#ramblings#veilguard#veilguard spoilers

BnHA Chapter 425: New Normal
Previously on BnHA: Everyone was all “and with that we conclude our final battle for better or worse!! We will now commence our slow return to the new normal, beginning with our protagonist and deuteragonist who are miraculously more or less intact, albeit exhausted and mildly traumatized. Also the words ‘more or less’ are kind of doing a lot of heavy lifting there.”
Today on BnHA: The Big 3 and Aoyama are OUT. Shinsou is IN. The Tododrama is PENDING, and the mysterious figure in the shadows is UNIDENTIFIED. Also class 1-A finally becomes class 2-A and it only took them 425 chapters and TEN LONG YEARS. Can you imagine if this series had actually run throughout their high school experience like people once expected. “THE YEAR IS 2044 AND MY HERO ACADEMIA IS FINALLY WINDING TO A CLOSE.” There’s an alternate universe somewhere where this actually happened and we were all so very, very tired.
This is once again a shorter than usual reaction summary post, as opposed to my typical page-by-page liveblog. Not gonna have time to do those for a while yet most likely, but like hell am I gonna miss out on the last days of the series, so here we are.
Once again basing this off of @pikahlua’s spoiler translation summary here!
watching the eighteen inch tall Rat Principal standing at a podium overseeing this graduation ceremony is surreal in the most wonderful way. it’s like receiving your diploma from a sentient Funko Pop
I love how they established that Mic sitting there screaming at the top of his lungs is also a beloved U.A. graduation tradition, and that the senpais just roll with it while everyone else is in varying stages of trying to decide if it’s too late to transfer to another school
ngl sometimes I forget that Ochako and Toga were actually the second canonical f/f ship in this series. shoutout to Hadou and her adorable girlfriend whose name I absolutely cannot recall
absolutely wild that Horikoshi gives credit to Rat Principal for coordinating the entire disaster recovery nationwide. are you serious. the “world-famous” Principal Nezu?? you’re telling me this little capybara is effectively the secret president of Japan now or something. when does he even sleep
“the principal made great contributions to quirk morality education��� is also a VERY interesting tidbit that I really want to know more about. “hey guys what if we did a better job at teaching people not to be dicks with their quirks” AND JUST LIKE THAT JAPAN WAS SAVED huzzah
“we lost many things, but we gained nothing” is both HILARIOUS and soundly depressing, but I can see what he’s trying to get at. still an odd choice for a graduation speech though. “our job is all about harm reduction, and we couldn’t even do that this time around, but in the future we hope to balance things out and maybe even get some net positive impact going!” lmao. again it’s all true, and in all honesty it’s spectacular that they managed as well as they did, all things considered. and I guess it would have been disingenuous to just ignore the reality of everything this particular school body has been through and pretend like everything is great right now. but I still can’t help feeling like there was probably a more inspiring way to get this message across lol
regardless of what he says, Aizawa 100% either bribed or threatened Rat Principal behind the scenes in order to stay with his class. and will do so again next year. he can and will keep getting away with it. he is never leaving these kids
and the sheer relief from all of them upon hearing it is all the justification he needs. these kids have four thousand nine hundred and seventeen accumulated traumas among them. they don’t need a four thousand nine hundred and eighteenth. this man is their father ffs. MINA WAS CRYING AND EVERYTHING
Kacchan watched that YouTube video about a dozen times until he managed to tie his tie all on his own with the one hand. and he did an amazing job. he’s such a model citizen now
also it looks to me like he has his right arm hidden in a sling underneath his shirt, which is interesting. if I’m not mistaken (and I very well could be, since it’s been a hot minute since I did any BnHA timeline math), the final battle took place sometime in early May, so this chapter is taking place roughly one month later. the hospital chapter took place about a week after the battle, so it’s been about 3-4 weeks since then. I really want to know what kind of shape Kacchan’s arm is in, but I guess Horikoshi will get to it when he gets to it
also, “we all gotta be together today” was a real wakeup call to me in that it gave me just an absolutely ridiculous amount of feels. just a totally unreasonable amount. and it’s like. listen, self. Kacchan has completed his character growth arc. he’s a team player and a leader who loves all his friends and they all love him in return. we’ve known this for years now. it’s an established fact. you can’t keep bursting into tears or whatever every time he shows it. this is no way to live your life. I need an intervention
anyways later this evening class 2-A is gonna have a celebratory movie night in the common room, and Kacchan is gonna fall asleep two minutes in peacefully surrounded by all his classmates, and they’re all gonna nudge each other and smile fondly and cover him with a blanket and stay up until 2am and Aizawa will have no mercy on them the following morning. it’s gonna be so wholesome you guys
(ETA: I decided to go back and have some more feels about this one tiny Kacchan panel, because apparently the four paragraphs I already wrote about it weren't enough. so the thing is, Sero's wonderment at Katsuki being out of the hospital initially read to me as half bemused awe, and half "oh boy, time to get back into our usual rhythm of antagonizing Kacchan!" but my second time around, I can't help remembering that all of Kacchan's classmates got to watch this kid getting tortured and strangled and stabbed through the heart in 4K. like, even if they were busy with their own fights at the time, there's no way they didn't see the footage later on afterwards.
and that had to have been traumatic for them. their friend literally died and was just lying there so still for so long afterwards. and him getting better and going back to his usual asskicking self later on doesn't just erase those memories, you know? especially with him having lasting, permanent damage afterward. not just his arm, even! like who even knows if his heart is going to be okay long term. when people get organ transplants they have to go on immunosuppressants afterwards because otherwise their body will try to attack the replacement organ. so I wonder how exactly it works when it's still your heart, but it's being held together by various bits and pieces of a spindly little floss man. idk, but I bet you it's still pretty rough.
anyway so long story short, I'm now reading this as one-third bemused awe, one-third joking antagonism, and one-third genuine "no seriously, is it okay for you to be here, please don't do anything to put your health at risk because we seriously cannot handle you dying on us again." and Kacchan's not even disagreeing with him lol, which has to be the most concerning thing of all. "they said it's okay if I rest." even he knows he's pushing it, but it was too important of an occasion to miss. anyway please take it easy kiddo.)
Aoyama leaving makes me sad but it makes total sense for his character after what he’s been through. he needs time to sort things out and continue down his own personal honor-regaining journey. respect
also glad to hear that it was his own choice and that both Rat Principal and Nao would have supported him if he stayed. I still to this day do not understand Naomasa’s actual level of authority lol. like, he’s supposedly a detective, and yet he seems to be personally in charge of every single important police operation, on like a national level. and he has the authority to make decisions like letting Aoyama go free. he is the law, literally
Aoyama trying to feed Deku some farewell cheese also took me out. like he just walked in there and was all “sorry everyone, I’m leaving, but I’ll still aim for the path of a hero and will one day return, don’t you worry!” and at some point in the midst of this tearful speech he made a beeline directly to Izuku and tried to give him some cheese that he apparently just had in his pocket or something. and Izuku was all “YEAH!” all solemnly but HE DIDN’T EVEN TOUCH THAT POCKET CHEESE. like he loves you and accepts you for who you are Yuuga but COME ON
at this point in the chapter it also became clear to me that Aizawa has his hair up in some sort of loosely assembled messy bun and that’s why it looks so especially flowing and gorgeous today. this is great cinema
and then AT LONG LAST, the admission of Shinsou into class 2-A. they tried everything they could to keep him out, BUT NOT EVEN THE END OF THE WORLD COULD STOP HIM. his rightful place
Ojiro’s scandalized response to hearing Fuwa refer to Aizawa as “Era-sen”, and then Fuwa subsequently revealing all of Aizawa’s secrets and Aizawa getting flustered and kicking her out, was one of the most delightful sequences I’ve read. “nooooo don’t tell them that, what the hell am I gonna threaten them with now”
Izuku has not even attempted to crack a smile since the final battle, aside from when he was frantically trying to reassure Kacchan in the hospital. I’m worried about him but also loving this a little bit, ngl. I am content to wait for you to eventually have a proper breakdown, mister Greatest Hero
also I singled him out on the whole not-smiling thing, but really this is true for just about all of them. my heart aches :(
were there really so many people freaking out over Izuku’s hair that Horikoshi felt compelled to throw in that “HEY DEKU-KUN, YOU SHAVED YOUR HAIR LIKE THAT DUE TO AN INJURY, RIGHT? BUT IT’LL GROW BACK, RIGHT!?” line in there lol. the hilarious thing is that this chapter was already in the books before 424 was released, so it means that Horikoshi anticipated the backlash ahead of time. the man knows his audience
and now for this mysterious little barefoot man randomly emerging from some rubble somewhere. who are you. fandom already thinks you’re everyone from Tenko to Hisashi lol. my personal theory is that he’s just a random citizen who’s hurt and traumatized and needs help. and unlike what happened with baby Tenko once upon a time, this young man actually will be helped by a hero in his moment of need, and it’ll be all hopeful and stuff because SOCIETY IS CHANGING FOR THE BETTER NOW HOORAY
or maybe he really is Tenko, idk. what do I know lol. don’t listen to me
lastly, Shouto out here immediately leaving U.A. after class and ruining my dreams of a class 2-A movie night. FINE THEN. GO AND BE WITH YOUR FAMILY my precious little life preserver. and I’m actually really, really excited to see what their endgame is actually, so yes, Horikoshi, bring it on please and thank you
#bnha 425#class 1-a#wait no#class 2-a#bnha#boku no hero academia#bnha spoilers#mha spoilers#bnha manga spoilers#makeste reads bnha#this whole time we were led to believe this was the story of how izuku's generation became the greatest heroes#when really it was the story of rat principal's ascent to power#he waited until there was a vacuum and then he SWEPT RIGHT IN like emperor palpatine#it's his world now and we're just living in it

You know, I don't think I would have minded bioware not allowing choices from dao/da2 if it werent for the fact that we have two plot important characters from those games returning. You expect me to believe Varric's "I want to fuck hawke so bad it makes me look stupid" ass isn't going to mention his best friend ONCE? Or that Morrigan doesn't have a thing to say about the Hero of Fereldan, who she can possibly have an entire ass kid with?
Like. If they want to step away from the old games don't put two main characters from those games in the new one like.
#dragon age#bioware critical#dav critical#crow rambles#hoping and praying that somehow there are more choices than we were led to believe#bc geniuenly idk how theyre going to do that

3319 - Downfall of Numenor. Tar-Miriel leads a greater force of the Faithful away.
(green // blue means two main options, red means i need to think about it more)
The main details I'm figuring out right now are
does Celebrimbor still die at Eregion - I don't think he's getting captured/tortured, but he could still die in the battle. On the other hand, he could probably survive by using Narya & Lomion using Nenya, but that would definitely have repercussions further down the line
how does Idril's deal work - I'm currently thinking of Idril exchanging the location of Gondolin for her family's guaranteed safety, because it seems in character for Reverse Idril? But on the other hand, even if I limit it to immediate family at the time of the oath (tuor, turgon, earendil) then idk where turgon dies? Maybe Maglor can kill him but that seems kind of random
where and how does Turgon die
how does Prince Elrond's character even work
how does Numenor still fall when factoring in Prince Elrond - I'm thinking that the morgoth death cult gained enough traction during the time sauron was there that even after Elrond kicks him out, the cult still sticks around and reemerges later? The Fall still happens, but they never go to attack valinor and there's a good deal more Faithful (maybe 40-60%?)
#silm#silmarillion#not art#reverse gondolin au#basically elrond is giving me a Lot of trouble here#i tacked an extra 30 years onto the FA (so the SA dates are mostly shifted up by 30 years to balance it out; hence elros being king in SA 2#this means e&e were adults during the Fall of Gondolin and the war of wrath and all#so instead of 'kind as summer' elrond of the last homely house in rivendell#we have gondolithrim veteran/dragonslayer Prince Elrond of Imladris Stronghold#and later the Bastion of the Faithful of Numenor#ironically enough he turned out way more feanorian when not raised by feanorians#instead of sirion e&e's defining Childhood Trauma was the gondolin kinslaying#in which mae and aredhel duel to the death while screaming at each other about fingon's fate and the Oath#and argon and elenwes deaths on the helcaraxe#also elwing fully died trying to protect them in this one#and then e&e were like 20something and sons/grandsons of two Lords durign the FoG so obviously they ended up fighting there too#and then again at the war of wrath#and by the mid SA elrond has already lived through so many wars he's running rather low on hope#so Prince Elrond still tries to be kind but is also substantially more willing to threaten people if need be#after eregion he founds imladris as a haven but also an impenetrable fortress#he saw the fall of gondolin and he knows that rivendell couldn't last forever#but he believes he can make it last long enough to defeat sauron first#or at least push him back so that the refugees of eregion can rebuild and survive#meanwhile celebrimbor takes up the last homely house role#but yeah Prince Elrond is pretty interesting#he intervenes more with numenor bc hes watching them self destruct and knows (bc foresight) exactly what would happen#so he tries (eventually in vain) to prevent it by disowning and exiling ar pharazon#and later exiling sauron around the time of the burning of nimloth#but it's too late and the morgoth cult already gained enough traction#on the other hand there's a lot more Faithful led by tar-miriel

What is couch theory
It’s from season 6. In 6x01, in the scene with Buck, Christopher, and Eddie at the loft, Buck reveals he doesn’t have a couch because Taylor took her couch back when they broke up and hasn’t bothered to replace it yet. The absence of the couch was tied to Buck’s love life via his own words, which led to the “couch theory” being born in the Bvddie fandom.
Naturally, it was all about how Buck and Eddie would end up buying the couch together at season’s end (aka get together) and it was a point of obsession by the fandom for the entire season (and beyond in some cases since a lot were still taking about it in season 7). Buck and Natalia ended up buying a couch together instead, which of course led to a meltdown and goalpost shifting for the 172849th time lmao.
As far as I remember, we actually never got to see the couch he and Natalia bought, so I’m pretty sure it’s the first time we’ve seen it since then. And it was Tommy going to sleep on it, so that’s why we were joking that the couch theory had been solved lol.
#hope this helps#it was just poking fun at yet another silly theory the bvddie fandom came up with that never came true#bucktommy#911#answered#some additional context there were a couple of scenes in 6x12 that led some bvddie shippers (even me a little bit at the time) to really+#believe it was happening#the first was a scene where buck was struggling to fall asleep on the couch his mother had just bought him#and in the very next scene we see buck going to eddie’s house and immediately fall asleep on his couch#so it sort adds to the hilarity of tommy falling asleep on buck’s couch since so many thought buck falling asleep on eddie’s meant the+#couch theory was real lmao

Louis manipulating Lestat and Armand to make them let someone live so he could have peace with himself is crazy
"she'll be our daughter, our beautiful daughter please please, do it and I'll never leave you again, I'll stay here I'll stay happy for you and dor her"


"let the boy live as a testament of our companionship" and calls him Arun because he knows what it means to Armand (he does it twice btw)


Louis doesn't even want to call it a companionship and he did it at that moment to persuade Armand to let Daniel live and he only wanted Claudia as a daughter so he could have peace with himself after bringing the chaos to the city and Storyville (that place would be in crumbles anyways but Louis blames himself for it)
"she asked if I was an angel! Me"
He wants to be this good and flawless being that only wants everyone's good and that everyone who knows him wrongs him (like Armand said in irony and he wasn't wrong about it, Louis always put it in the others account and burden the others with his own complexities) Claudia thought he was the good one and he made everything o keep it that way for her (even at the trial when he said that Lestat was lying about the was she was made when he fucking wasn't and Louis admits it) he lied and made promises that he knew he couldn't keep ("if you were the last vampire in the world it would be enough" "it's you and me me and you you and me" only to stare at dreamstat because he will have this with him forever, proving that will never be enough) that he would put her first once in her live and he didn't ("picked another one over me!") at the moment he found something else for him he stated to disbelieve her, like saying that Armand wouldn't choke her and threaten her when she was telling Louisthat he did it, Louis was, as soon as possible, ready to be at Armand side, even though he didn't loved Armand the same way he loves Lestat. She was there, when she finally gets something to her own, someone who picks her first, the man who Louis believes with his eyes closed instead of his own daughter/sister betray them and let her being killed, Louis wanted so bad to be her angel but he was what doomed her, her mortal life was crap and her vampiric life was crap, it all because Louis wanted something to himself, like a child begging for a toy in the toy store
Louis isn't a saint, like everyone else there, and I'm waiting to see more
#I'm not counting on the fact that Louis is a man who is abused by these two men too. that his life is bad too#that his life is bad too#but he didn't think of Claudia when he begged Lestat to turn her#he was only thinking about himself#he didn't think of her as another being there#and ironically the only person who was thinking about the future that Claudia had ahead of her was Lestat#who was treated by this whole guy like the evil father#(which he was#I'm not saying he wasn't#but not in the way we were led to believe and he wasn't the only)#very tragic story#interview with the vampire#louis de pointe du lac#claudia de lioncourt du lac#lestat de lioncourt#the vampire armand#daniel molloy

Okay I'll say it: Disease and Abracadabra wrote a check the rest of Gaga's new album couldn't cash. Just my onion.
#the rest of the album is good and has some bops mind you#like i like Garden of Eden and Perfect Celebrity#but we were led to believe we were getting dark pop like Fame Monster and Born This Way!#a lot of the rest is disco-laced shlock that feels put on because it's currently “trendy”#i guess I'm just saying i'm disappointed lol

TikTok TSOA fans are so funny because they’ll swear up and down that they despise Achilles and “only read it for Patroclus who was sweet and innocent and did nothing wrong 🥹🥹” like ijbol u people are not serious. Hate Achilles all you want, he did do bad things, me personally I hate him for sacking certain Trojan cities and refusing the embassy, no one’s denying that he was wrong and that he was a bad person at times, but loving a character does not equal justifying their actions for one thing and to act like any character from the illiad was a paragon of perfect morality is fucking insane. ( Yes, even Hector, everyone’s favorite “🥺he was such a perfect husband🥺” man of the month ) It’s literally so crazy to say that Achilles was the only one of the two of them to actively commit bad deeds and war crimes during the WAR they were in. Just close the damn book I’m sorry but obviously a book with morally ambiguous and dark topics are not for you at this point. Like I get your point, what Achilles did was bad, it’s not like majority of people DONT agree with that point.
But characters are not supposed to be FLAT. They are not supposed to be all good or all bad. Your insistence that Patroclus was only a good person does not make him a good character. It actually makes him really fucking boring. I’m getting way too passionate about this but like I’m so over everyone acting like
1) Achilles was the worst person to exist in Greek mythology history when he’s not even the worst fucking person in the illiad itself 😭 ( that honor goes to Paris, Zeus, Aphrodite, and Agamemnon <3 )
2) A character can only be liked or appreciated or even just talked about if they fit modern ethical standards
Like every conversation I see about TSOA, any video on TikTok, there’s always a comment that has to bring it up like “I only liked Patroclus and he was an unreliable narrator so Achilles was actually much worse” Like okay we get it, God, fuck off please!
Also the whole thing between him and Apollo. PLEASE. Those two are two sides of the same exact coin. I think Apollo was justified in killing him but yall act like Apollo has not done the same if not worse than what he killed Achilles for. And that’s. FINE. I still love Apollo! For all the good and the bad that he does I think he’s the most interesting Greek God on the Pantheon and in the Illiad he’s actually one of my favorite characters to hear from. And I don’t expect the Greek god to act with good moral intentions. I expect him to act like a Greek god. I expect Achilles to act like a Greek demigod. Which is, exactly the way he acts. Maybe yall expected something different. If you wanted a short sweet story that happened to be queer with two perfectly acceptable, 100% goody two shoes main protagonists, please drop the classics inspired books and watch heartstopper.
#also if your only argument against Achilles is myths that were not in the original epic cycle#Then what are you even doing here#also consider the themes of the story#Achilles serves as a lesson#he is a cautionary tale#YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO JUSTIFY THEY THINGS HE DOES#you are given the reasons for why he does them#and you are shown why these actions#and what led to them#ARE BAD#the illiad#achilles#trojan war#patroclus#patrochilles#god I can’t stand tik tok opinions#like can we not like anti hero and anataginists characters anymore#Homer: war is a bad thing that pushes people to do things they don’t wish to do for meaningless rewards#Classic authors for the next few centuries: oh my god Achilles I can’t believe you did that that was so uncalled for#Roman propaganda authors would LOVE you idiots#rant

Denver pro-Palestine protestors delayed Pride yesterday and ended up taking over the main stage, and in response, the organizers said they're "collecting community input and evaluating our sponsorships and affiliations," which is huge!!! Criticism of corporate sponsorships at pride is hardly anything new, and yet I've NEVER seen the organizers make a statement like that before. Almost all of the news coverage about the parade mentions the protest!!
I'm just so proud of my community and so hopeful for the future. <3
#im so glad i got to be there!!#there was one guy who stood next to me and was just screaming 'homophobe!' in my ear over and over#but there were really only a handful of those assholes and HUNDREDS of us#honestly all the news articles say it was about 200 people but i think thats understating by a lot#there were a ton of people gathering even early in the morning#we also got cheered on by many of the parade participants#there are more people on our side than weve been led to believe#free palestine#denver pride#palestine
