I genuinely believe that Moiraine thinking about sleeping with someone else is a hugely important piece of characterization this season.

It shows us exactly how hurt she is. It lets us know that everything that happened with Siuan is truly not something Moiraine could easily get over. It's something she doesn't know if she could ever get over.

Moiraine believes a line has been crossed in their relationship, a serious one, one that leaves her free to sleep with someone else if she wants.

She doesn't actually sleep with anyone else, and that's also important, but it's a huge part of her character arc that she felt this way at the time.

something I’ve been thinking abt is how many people think Makoto is immune to despair. I don’t think he is. I think becoming the ultimate Hope was BECAUSE he felt despair. He wouldn’t have fully reached that point without Junko. Makoto becoming such a beacon was his last attempt to avoid completely falling and it wasn’t because he didn’t feel despair, it was because he was too damn stubborn to allow everything to go to waste and he refused to sacrifice his beliefs for someone else’s. His inner monologue tells me he DID experience the same new low the other suvivors did in the final trial, but at the point where he had the choice to give up and die, he looked at the others and he looked at Junko and he couldn’t allow it to happen, not out of self preservation, but because the idea that Junko would have control over their lives made him FURIOUS. and that utter refusal to die kicked in, wether luck or otherwise, and he made the concious effort for one last push while something in him was breaking. He had to be broken in order for the Ultimate Hope to come through so aggressively, bc it could only exist in the face of the Ultimate Despair. He snapped the same way she did, but in the other direction. In what could have been his final moments he chose to embody everything Junko wasn’t, and every single optimistic and luck fueled ideal in him suddenly charged forward and pushed him. It was a combination of the final straw and a choice. Makoto isn’t immune to feeling despair, he’s just too stubborn to fall into it of his own volition. I think that’s why I like that scene in DR3 so much. People were SO SHOCKED Makoto actually fell for the tape, that he actually became despair for a moment. I saw people getting mad or disappointed, saying it was pathetic and Makoto seemed to fall from some sort of pedestal for them. Honestly part of me wonders if that sort of mentality, which clearly people had in universe, affected Makoto a bit. Like he started to see himself as less of a person, subconsciously. Prompting him to take more risks, less self preservation, act way more bold. It seems he has to be reminded a lot not to put himself in danger by his friends, to not do something too reckless. All over the place I would see in regards to that scene either this frivolous ‘oh this was just angst drama with no meaning behind it’ or ‘he can do better than that. he’s so weak’ or ‘come on, there’s no way he’d fall into despair, he’s the Ultimate Hope!’ This kind of mentality, which was kind of ironic considering Ryota was there the entire time saying the same thing and treating Makoto the same way. Like Makoto was superhuman. Like Makoto didn’t feel despair the same way ‘normal people’ did. In a way that was also how Munakata saw Makoto. Makoto stopped being a PERSON to the world when he became Ultimate Hope, he became a concept, a belief system, much the same way Junko ascended beyond herself. But the difference is that treating Makoto that way is the opposite of the reason Makoto became such a representative for hope. He wasn’t doing something no one else could. He was doing something everyone had the chance to, he just… was a little more optimistic, a little more stubborn, a little more ‘gung-ho’ about things. He just took the lead where no one else did, where no one else knew they even COULD in the face of Junko’s unstoppable force. She had overcome the biggest threats and obstacles in the world, what could one person do? And the answer Makoto found was, anything. Everything. It doesn’t all rest on Makoto, he’s just the one that was inspired to try to do what seemed like the impossible. But as evidenced by the change in his friends after that trial, it’s clearly not something only Makoto is capable of. The others pulled out of despair thanks to Makoto, but it was their choice to do so.

“But… this world is so huge, and we’re so small. What can we do…? No, we can probably do anything. Yeah! We can do anything!”

just finished 3.. what was that. why was that an episode. literally the only thing that got me through it was that mulder looked so fucking good in every scene!! unfortunately every scene was bad..

as someone who loves vampire shows these were the worst vampires I have ever seen. they were so incredibly boring. and cringe. I didn’t like kristen’s acting at all and the whole shaving scene?? soo terrible and the music made it even worse.

as always though I will eat up any msr though and I did tear up at the start when mulder was filing scully’s badge and glasses that was heartbreaking </3

Hello I'm randomly thinking about Healin Good PreCure for the first time in years and looking back at how wildly people misunderstood the point and expected every other season to follow a plot point that's very specific to it

Thinking about all the on-screen character development we couldve (and shouldve) gotten from vi in s2. To actually see and hear her process things. Man

FEBUWHUMP | HELPLESS | WC: 594

“Your student’s sleeping off an injury you gave him,” Chiyo said icily. “Get out of my office and go brood somewhere else.”

Slumped back in one of her most uncomfortable chairs, arms crossed and legs propped up on young Yagi’s cot, Recovery Girl’s biggest pain in her ass made a thoroughly unattractive grunt. His hair was in disarray (normal), and he was unmasked (not normal). He was still in his flight suit and cape.

She went up to his seat and knocked her syringe against a plastic leg. “I’m not telling you again.”

“Is what you said last time,” Torino finally rasped. When Chiyo glanced down to check his expression, it was schooled back into an impassive, intimidating stare at his student’s--intern? ward?--unconscious body. There was a disconcerting redness to the corners of his eyes though.

Chiyo opted not to point this out. Guilt wouldn’t stop Torino from his relentless drive to condition Yagi into a close-combat nightmare; if anything, guilt was the reason behind it. “Well, I mean it right now. He’s not going to want to see you first thing.”

His jaw worked in silence. Yagi’s chest rose and fell in a reassuringly normal rhythm.

“One of these days, this boy’s going to blow up at you,” Chiyo predicted. “You can’t keep thrashing him in the name of the greater good and expect perfect obedience. He’s not a soldier. He’s a kid.”

“This kid chose to take the Quirk,” Torino said. “You think Shimura asked him to get a permission slip signed? No. She offered One for All and told him of all the strings attached, and he still took it. He knows what he’s in for.”

“Somehow, I don’t think he expected his guardian to be the one giving him a concussion.”

“I’m his trainer,” he said flatly.

“You’re also listed as his foster parent,” Chiyo shot back. “You know where this road leads? Total estrangement, at best. An attempt on your life at worst, if Yagi-kun would rather break than bend to your stupid idea of survival training.”

Torino pushed himself to his feet, and he whirled on Chiyo, lips pulling back to bare his teeth. She’d faced meaner, so she stood her ground and met him glare for glare. “I don’t see you doing anything to help him,” he snarled. “You’re healing him. You’re not stopping me. See the difference?”

The words burned, because they were true. Recovery Girl had more than enough proof to put a stop to Torino’s treatment of Yagi, and even wrestle Torino’s teaching credentials and pro-hero license away from the asshole. She had an ethical, moral duty to protect the students of U.A.. To heal any injury, and report any potential abuse of power.

Regardless of Yagi’s earnest pleading to excuse Torino’s behavior, Chiyo should have gone straight to the Commission. And she didn’t.

She couldn’t, even now.

Chiyo chewed furiously over the concession that Gran Torino was, unfortunately, the best person to make sure that Yagi survived his first year out of U.A.. Like hell she’d give Gran Torino the satisfaction. She jabbed a finger towards the door and waited.

It took him a few seconds to register her meaning, but once he did, Gran Torino’s seething faltered and sputtered out. He looked caught off-guard by the blatant dismissal. And for a second, he checked on Yagi, who remained blissfully, ignorantly asleep. There was something desperate, something wounded in the lines of his frown--but that wasn’t Chiyo’s problem.

“Visiting hours are over,” she said, finally.

He nodded, mute, and left.

Do you know what's really annoying?

When you call someone or something not human, people always assume you mean less than human. Which is stupid because of the majority of the time, I don't mean less than human or even more than human, I mean different from human. But the average person's tendency is to put humanity up on a pedestal as greater, which in their mind, makes different from humanity inherently lesser than humanity. Which is stupid and annoying and I hate it.
