"You know what the greatest tragedy is in the whole world?" said Ginger, not paying him the least attention. "It's all the people who never find out what it is they really want to do or what it is they're really good at. It's all the sons who become blacksmiths because their fathers were blacksmiths. It's all the people who could be really fantastic flute players who grow old and die without ever seeing a musical instrument, so they become bad plowmen instead. It's all the people with talents who never even find out. Maybe they are never even born in a time when it's even possible to find out."
She took a deep breath. "It's all the people who never get to know what it is they can really be. It's all the wasted chances."
Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures

The Valar's mistake did not lie in seeing a possibility of good in Melkor. Rather, their mistake lay in not seeing the equal possibility of him remaining evil.
#i do not think nienna was completely wrong to argue for a second chance for him#if we reject all possibility of repentance n change then we reject the very idea of life itself#life means growth means growing pains... if one mistake is all it takes to end it then there is no meaning to it at all#in any case while melkor squandered his second chance the idea that feanor n his sons do not even get a second chance to waste is just wron#everybody deserves a second chance. but we also need to mitigate any side effect of such mercy#the valar should have been more proactive in monitoring melkor's rehabilitation#they should've had countermeasures in place in case he was up to no good again#so while nienna did her job right but the rest of the valar should've done theirs too#melkor#morgoth#the valar#nienna#feanor?#silmarillion

cheers to the future of humanity (and the future of us)
[ID: Digital illustration in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun. The illustration takes place during the ship/home arc, specifically chapter 21. At the center, Vash is grabbing Wolfwood by the collar and pulls him into a kiss in the middle of a celebration. The pair is colored in vibrant warm hues while their surroundings are colored in cooler colors like green and teals. Luida, Brad, Meryl, and Milly are shown amongst the crowd, occupied in the celebrations as Vash and Wolfwood share a moment by themselves at the center. END ID]
#vashwood#trigun#trigun maximum#vash the stampede#nicholas d wolfwood#hospital yuri (explodeds) like any average vw enjoyer i will never get over that arc#specifically the scene where they heard the news of earth ships coming and did that little handshake they somehow conjured or#Had already. and then the entire ship had a party... meryl and milly started drinking immediately from joy and dragged vash and ww to get#wasted too and overall celebrate together. the chapter moves quickly just like how the hope was quickly withered out and died just hours#later when knives destroyed it. BUT IM JUST THINKING ABOUT IN THE MOMENT OF IT ALL bc in the same chapter#ww asks for a chance for tomorrow and then gets news of earth ships coming. in this same arc vash is thinking of all the things he needs to#resolve so his home doesn't get attacked so the people he love doesn't have to die and the humans he wants to protect gets to live.#i feel like deep down they both semi-recognize that it can't be this easy and regardless of earth ships coming- there's still a wait for#them to arrive and they have to hold out. and regardless ww still has a mission to follow through and vash knows knives would find out#but in that mood of celebration the entire ship brought in - they can at least let themselves relax for a moment and indulge#how they basically engaged with no violence for the few days they were on that ship coaxing them into domesticity... i feel like their#thoughts would wander to somewhere soft and all#allowing them to push aside the tiptoeing and tenseness and be sweet for a night#ruporas art

how to explain to your parents that you can't move back in with them because every time you're near them a big part of you buries itself and you're not sure how long that part can stay buried before its hidey hole becomes its grave?
...without offending them, of course
#eliot posts#last time i was forced to move back in w them was when the dorms closed for quarantine#and a part of me DID die then#and i think in those first 18 years i spent living with them so many parts of me died before they even had the chance to be born#they keep framing it as a generous offer. i won't have to pay rent AND they'll get me set up working oart time for my dad's friend#AND they'll replace my car with a newer one#but i do NOT fucking trust it#they act nice while i'm not living with them and am able to freely escape#but that niceness goes away once i have nowhere to go#like that's exactly what happened when i was forced back to them during quarantine#and how hard they're pushing this seems realllly sketchy#i told my mother i'd think about it (to get her off my back) and she said ''don't waste time thinking. just agree to it.''#like hellll no. i do NOT trust like that.#even my sister was trying to talk me into it which i don't get because she of all people should understand.#but anyway. i'm applying for jobs and looking at extending my lease. i am NOT going back there.#i just wish i could tell them that without getting yelled at and guilt tripped and talked to like i'm a stupid little baby.

#IT'S SUCH A WASTED OPPORTUNITY#Exploring the different ways the daves have dealt with their trauma#And their relationship with bro#Like#Davesprite Saw bro die#There's a chance he even died saving ds#And even just the guilt from not being strong enough to save him#coupled with how dehumanized he already feels from being the'Other Dave' n part of the game#Would make it So much harder for ds to realize just how bad his childhood was#Not to mention his lack of a healthy support network#(Noone really had a proper support network tbh. Their all fucking traumatized teenagers)#How he was isolating himself#I'm#THE FACT THAT HIS THOUGHTS ON BRO ARE NEVER EXPLORED#I'm normalI'm normalI'm normalI'm normal#Rambles#Daves

a luxury I really appreciate having with 911 right now is TIME. like we don't need buddie canon immediately. I don't need eddie to realise his feelings next episode or bucktommy to speed run a whole relationship arc. we can take our time having their individual stories or relationships be on the back burner whilst the focus is on other characters, we can let things grow and develop in a steady healthy way, we can even have a season finale that leaves things open for more next season. I'm soo excited for this season but I'm just not feeling any urgency for what's next, I've never been happier just vibing and trusting the writers
#i do think there's a chance of buddie canon this season#i also think there could be definitive buddie progress this season and canon next season#i also think there's still a chance they won't go canon which would be wasted potential but i wouldn't be MAD at#regardless i'm having fun i'm so content with it all#talking#911#911 spoilers

gavi is so real for that lmao
he’s saying what we were all thinking 😭
#you cannot let lenglet of all people stop you#i wonder what he had to say after the second half which was even worse#convinced that pedri and gavi would go insane without each other#now imagine being pedri and having every single one of your created chances wasted as well 😭#asks#anon

I love how horror & killer are so brother-vibed. <3
Me too! They should annoy each other as often as possible and wrestle like 4 times a week lol
#UTDR#Ask#Anon#I love making them brother coded a little bit#Killer can't stay out of Horror's space to save his own life and Horror can't resist the chance to scare this dude#It's honestly a miracle they haven't been crushed or stabbed by the other yet#And there are rare little moments where they show they care#Horror is very particular about making sure the others have eaten even tho Dust and Killer would happily not eat for weeks#(No it doesn't drive him to madness at all he's so normal about that)#But he does try and keep note of what Killer prefers so he can at least make it enjoyable when he forces him to sit down for a meal#Or at the very least he knows what Killer hates and won't eat so he can avoid it#Horror can't really teleport so he's a little stuck in place during fights compared to the others#Killer is more wily and he doesn't stay in one place for too long#So if it looks like somebody's giving Horror trouble or he's getting ganged up on Killer will usually go buzz around them#Being a pest until they start attacking him and then pulling them away#Also if Horror gets antsy about dropped or wasted food he feeds it to the cats so it doesn't go to waste#Well that's 50 tags sorry about that lol

dean in the middle of s7: fellas is it gay to meet ratboy eliot ness in the 40s and want to suck him silly? asking for a friend who might be down bad enough to do it anyway dean thirty seconds into s8: well while you were BETRAYING ME with some CHICK i was in monsterfucker heaven getting spitroasted by a vampire and an angel of the lord, so take THAT
#headcanoning that s7 time travel episode as the first time dean got the fuck over it long enough to suck & fuck a dude for real#mostly to salvage spn's tragic waste of a once-in-a-lifetime chance to let jackles and nicholas lea bleed homoerotically at each other#as for s8 listen man idk what to tell you i'm not even a destiel girlie but the three of them were fucking naaaasty all over purgatory#and yes all of this *is* even funnier in the context of sam and dean rolling out matching WELCOME HOME CHEATER banners#fellas is it gay to cheat on your brother. whom you are extremely normal about.#dean winchester#spn s7#spn s8#supernatural

Kipperlily not having been ragestarred is such a win for me it just makes me more mad we barely got to see her in action. Also her not getting resurrected… They didnt even get to interrogate her or ask her why she did anything she did… You’ll always be in my heart angry teenager ❤️ You might be the reason I start reading fanfiction
#fantasy high#fantasy high spoilers#dimension 20 spoilers#kipperlily copperkettle#she shouldve been a thorn in their side since day fucking one#she shouldve been meaner pettier way more prevalent than she was ill never not wish wed gotten that#that goes for all ratgrinders really kind of a wasted opportunity#setting up all these perfect parallels down to the subclasses just to not really do much with them#genuinely hoping we get a ratgrinder spinoff series i would die for it#and that in it kipperlily is redeemed/brought back/given the chance to explain herself#if shes not a pc i mean

award for most devil’s sacrament moment of the year goes without a doubt to this morning when my coworker (delivering presentation) (screen projected onto wall in front of me and god and everyone) opened a new tab in google chrome and in the number one spot among the collection of icons for frequently visited websites was. the ao3 logo
#when i tell you it took everything i had in me not to visibly or audibly react#and she didn’t react at all! so either she has a great poker face or didn’t notice or else also subscribes to the whole devil’s sacrament#mindset i.e. ‘well if they recognize it they have no room to judge’#which is of course correct! i’m not judging! i’m simply experiencing The Kinship That Must Never Be Acknowledged very acutely in a public#and professional environment!#this is also not really new information to me like i don’t know for sure if she’s on this website but i could For Sure have pegged her as#an ao3 girlie at least and i’m sure she knows the same about me#(throwback to the runner-up for the most devil’s sacrament moment award from last week when i (clearly online) mentioned that i don’t spend#much time on youtube but i find other ways to waste it and she was like ‘oh such as?’ and i cursed my big mouth and awkwardly went ‘well i#read a lot of fiction’ (true but NOT what we were talking about and we both knew it perfectly well) and then we both had to sit with that)#anyway! mini heart attack moment for sure seeing that symbol in that context but fun times overall :)#and this is why i will never ever open ao3 in a non-incognito tab lest my computer too decide to betray me. forever amen#[REDACTED] on the OFF CHANCE YOU END UP READING THIS and recognize yourself and thus learn my online identity. please don’t tell anyone#let’s keep the devil’s sacrament between us#caseyposting

feel lowkey relieved somehow that i just got it out of the way that my parents do not care what happens to me and they think i should just deal with my current symptoms lol
#like idk i guess it's just nice not to waste energy carrying any hope that they might care to help me#they've let me know immediately that it's not important#idk if they even believe me about any of it#i mean they've seen that i can't drive but I'm pretty sure they still think i just refuse because i don't want to#rather than that i am an actual danger to society lol#so whatever#i wasn't sure if i was going to mention it to them at all but i would have kinda felt stupid not doing it#just on the off chance they cared#but now ive gotten that out of the way and i can pinch pennies for the next 10 years i guess lol

Not a single day goes by where I don't think about Kaz accidentally saying Jordie instead of Jesper in the fight in Crooked Kingdom.
#six of crows spoilers#soc spoilers#I have so many thoughts about it#and none of my friends like six of crows#so you guys have to hear about it#we dont talk about the jordie and jesper connections enough I think.#Jesper who has a gambling addiction and often wastes money he knows he needs#Jordie who bet all their funds on the chance they'd make it back#I think a lot about the way wylan let jesper put money into the stock market at the end#Jesper is like Jordie only Kaz isn't afraid to blame him for things#And it only males the relationship between them worse because Jesper's constantly searching for the approval that Kaz is afraid to give him#Am I making sense?#these books make me insane#six of crows#jordie rietveld#jesper fahey#kaz brekker#soc jesper#soc#soc kaz#Throwing this into the void and never looking back

i have a room in wobbledogs exclusively for teeth. whenever dogs drop their baby teeth i send the teeth down the chute to to the teeth room. it's because they have a potential effect on dogs when eaten (shifts their hue toward white and increases their glow) that is cool but not quite desirable for every dog out there, and because teeth are so small, they get easily lost in nooks of rooms and also get eaten by dogs you didn't want to eat them, and when you have a dog you want to make eat teeth it's sometimes a pain to find enough. someday i will unleash dogs in here to eat teeth
#talks#i have another empty room that is just a garbage rerouting room. chutes from rooms that dogs are in are connected to it and i dump all the#dog waste down those chutes into the garbage room. then from the garbage room there are two chutes. one sends#waste that increases mutation chances when eaten to a room full of dogs i force to eat sludge. the other is the#teeth room.#i used to have a dog sludge room chute and a tooth room chute in all my dog rooms but it started cluttering my areas#because i had to build a dog gate around each chute entrance because dogs kept getting sucked into the tunnels.#with multiple entrances the dog gates took up a lot of room space and also there was a higher percent chance#flying dogs could get over the gate and get slurped into a different room anyway.#if this happens id rather they got suucked into the empty garbage room than into a room with other dogs because#im separating them for categorization purposes and they'll get all mixed up otherwise and i may not even#notice. if i see a dog in the empty garbage room i know something is amiss.
