Can someone please tell me how you can write a scene like the one where Nesta fell down the stairs and Cassian laughed at her, re-read it, and decide 'yeah, this is romantic. Let's make them the otp' before proceeding to write a whole ass book about them?

you haven’t truly experienced the full spectrum of human emotions until you’re sobbing because your favourite character just died and then fucking memories by maroon 5 starts playing

Danny adopts Jason and Dan kills the Joker au

Danny adopts Jason not because of the pit but because he sees how hard the guy goes after the Joker. At first Danny thinks nothing of it, but then Jason gets all the core vibes typical of wanting to avenge something. that would be fine except Jason is a bby ghost and the thing he wants to avenge is his own’s death. It’s a feeling Danny almost didn’t have to struggle with, being that a portal killed him (except it was the reason he immediately went to have beef with anyone that crossed the portal. They were essentially aided with the device that killed him and that made him feel… threatened? Frostbite didn’t explain it all that well) so yeah here’s Danny having a bit of a heart attack because the Red Hood is actively seeking to be in the same room as his murderer which baby ghosts are not allowed to what the fuck. He personally won’t do it, (cause he’s never killed someone) but he’s not above asking his older brother Dan to do it.

Danny: think of it as a favor I’m asking of u

Dan: it’s murder, that way surpasses a favor

Danny: 🥺 i’ll buy u a donut

Dan:

Dan: make it a half a dozen and you’re on

I feel like too often people frame Nie Mingjue's issues as ignorance borne from safety. Like, they think that because of his privilege as a sect leader he doesn't know what it's like to be in danger and forced to make hard choices to survive. And I disagree. Strongly.

First of all, Nie Mingjue is very familiar with death not only from war but from. You know. Actively dying since the age of fourteen. Let us not forget Nie Mingjue is dead! Super dead! And maybe he didn't die the exact way he expected to but he did, absolutely, know he was going to die. To act like Nie Mingjue is unfamiliar with the scenario of "do something you find morally reprehensible or die" is to ignore that he has been living that exact scenario and chose death.

Nie Mingjue knows death is a risk for someone like Jin guangyao, in fact he explicitly acknowledges it even in his worst moments like the stairs in chapter 49. Had his issue been ignorance, then he would've responded to Jin Guangyao saying that he's in danger and has to sacrifice others for his own safety with "No you aren't you'll be fine." But he doesn't. He accepts the fact that jgy is in danger with no qualms and says: then you should die.

That's not him betraying his values, those are his values. He is, essentially, pro-suicide. Jgy is like hey I have a moral dilemma what should I do and nmj straight up goes "Kill yourself" and earlier that same chapter when he was faced with a moral dilemma he went "I'm gonna kill myself." He believes the solution to moral dilemmas is suicide! He is extremely consistent about this! When it's pointed out to him that it would have been dangerous for Wen Qing to oppose Wen Ruohan it doesn't phase him because he thinks putting yourself at risk to do the right thing is the only moral choice. The idea that he can only hold this belief because he is himself somehow not in danger, again, requires you to ignore that he is dying the whole time. And it doesn't deter him. He is the idea of self-sacrifice as a moral good taken to its absolute logical extreme. Someone who is ready to die and demands the same from everyone else.

It makes him a very fun case study for fandom, because a lot of fandom spaces also tend to revere self-sacrifice as the ultimate good, and yet we get very uncomfortable when someone starts demanding it of characters we love. Like woah, hold on, that's a bit too far isn't it? Only we the audience get to do that!

Watcher moving all of their content going forward to a paid streaming service for JUST their own content and not posting on youtube anymore? Pitching that idea to a mostly young viewer base who dont want to/cant pay for an extra streaming service? ohhhh they're so cooked

Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.

Kamala 2024!

If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.

But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.

May I present the best headline I've seen today:

Look, the Fulton County people have already said they plan to give him the full works: fingerprinting, mugshot, perp walk, releasing height/weight, etc, all the usual criminal treatment that he's managed to avoid so far. So yeah, he's gonna fucking HATE it, and if I don't see the mugshot everywhere on everything and made into all the memes you can think of, the internet will have failed me.

[beastwhimsy]

special to me... happy pride month I am so sick right now

[cobraonthecob]

so. the new atla comic was announced to be released and as one of zumai's biggest haters, i hate the premise

but this isn't about them, that's not really relevant except to explain how i was made aware of this cover

it's about what the artist gave kiyi because WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

let that sink in

it took me a good minute to realize that it's supposed to be a shirt layered on top of another, which makes sense because it is common for royalty to do that, but the outer shirt...i have never seen that in my LIFE before (source: i'm of chinese, japanese, and korean descent, i know what my people's traditional clothes look like), is that supposed to be a holster for swords? a backpack? nope. it's supposed to be a shirt. why it makes an x with the bordered part instead of a y, i don't know. maybe it's for a math nerd or something lmfao

so here's me circling the collar and the bottom part of the shirt in dark blue because i have never seen that before. all my cultures wrap our clothes around our bodies, but whatever kiyi has going on is virtually impossible and we'd never wear that????

i did a quick shitty edit to fix the damn shirt because i got annoyed

it looks marginally better and does fit in line with the show, i'm not satisfied because it doesn't exactly look like something a royal/high-ranking girl would wear to an academy. i will make a separate post about a redesign because i wanted to get that edit out there

also i should've changed the high collar shirt but i was making this edit under a minute to get my thoughts out

No because, the gay firefighter blorbos might not be fucking, but the canon is so wild. Eddie really woke up one day after almost dying, drove to his attorney, and added Buck to his fucking will. They had known each other for what? Two years? When Eddie literally signed a legal document tying him to Buck in a moment that was officially talked about as Eddie's way to say "I love you to the core" and then Eddie just didn't tell Buck about it until a year later. How much more wild can a ship get? Sure, we have easy stuff like the casual touches, the bizarre synchronization, and we have pretty intense stuff like the way Buck clawed at mud because he was ready to dig through 40 feet of it to get to Eddie, or how Eddie climbed a wet lightning rod to get to Buck, and how Buck has tasted Eddie's blood, and how Eddie literally brought Buck back to life, but they have a legal document tying them together for the past 3 seasons. WHAT THE FUCK. Like, for the love of God, what were the writers thinking when they decided on that particular plot. That's just fucking wild.

[cometblaster2070]

don't get me wrong, i absolutely love hunter, i think he's a great character and he's really nice and sweet and a great boyfriend too.

i love him and ashlynn together (especially in the books) and i also love the way they show him questioning his destiny with how he hates hunting animals and goes vegan after attending eah, how he sabotages his father's traps and hangs birdhouses in the forest instead.

you get the point, he's great; we all like him.

but i just CAN'T with that horrible fucking haircut.

like what the fuck is this????

WHO was in charge of designing his character i just wanna talk because what in the good god is THAT he is literally bald from the side it is not working for him.

i don't have any idea what they were going for but i want to know how bad you fuck up to end up with this as the final design.

ashlynn's a better person than i am; he's wonderful but i would never date him with that fuckass haircut.

she needs to tell him to grow it out or SOMETHING
