#and everyone else frankly

[mourn-and-watch]

calling fenris anders merrill party a "team where everyone hates each other" is a little disingenuous. fenris and anders do hate each other and also merrill. with a passion i'd say. merrill on the other hand is completely normal about them

Etho's behavior in session 5 was frankly unhinged. he killed Bdubs' horse IN FRONT OF HIM and managed to get away scot-free in the chaos of the situation. AND THEN he stole the chicken farm hopper while HALF THE TEAM was in their base without them noticing, tried to trade it BACK to them, and finally returned it after GAINING THEIR ALLIANCE? what even. good for him.

seeing people claim that lucanis is 'bad representation' is hilarious to me because in so many ways he's really the closest anything has ever gotten to capturing my own personal experience. sorry for being bad real life queer and mental health/neurodiversity representation folks 😔 I'll take time to reflect and do some work on myself and try to do better in the future

ppl like "i have to use ay-eye bc i can't drawwwww :(" ok whose fault is that. i can't draw either u know who's fault that is?? mine!!!! it isn't a bad thing but if i am unwilling to learn to draw that is Exclusively My Fault buddy!!!! if u refuse to practice that is, in fact, a you problem!!!! that's fine!!!! but u dont get to pretend u HAVE to use ay-eye bc an Uncontrollable Force prevents u from learning to draw!!!! u could just Go Learn!!!!

i have seen a lot of posts about lucanis & illario lately, that specifically call out that some of the things Lucanis says about him are kinda mean. usually in context of 'yes what illario did was fucked up but they BOTH went thru the fucked up training and lucanis says shit to him too' etc etc. and i'll be honest as someone who does have a contentious/estranged/very-low-contact sibling relationship. everything lucanis said came off as super mild to me and they should both be WAY nastier to each other actually. yes even when you include their dynamic in wigmaker job which was both more lighthearted And heartfelt. but like if you want realism they should be going from that to 1 minute later annoyed enough to break out the super cutting remarks dragging up the worst things the other has ever done/said, specifically becuause they know it will hurt the other most. then i would believe it more tbh.

also. too off kilter from doctors' offices to actually put it in words. but i think valentino should get to feel weird about pecco's 2022 world championship

he is old. he is retired. he'll never be a motogp rider. the closest he'll get to his past glory is this: mentoring young riders to the champagne and accolades he still wants

valentino was dragged kicking from the valentino rossi to valetino rossi, walking memorabilia

and they should fuck about it somewhere on the ranch around the mud-crusty bikes

but for once pecco isn't overthinking things to the point of insanity (crucially delirious from the unlikely win and days of partying) and misses the weird vibes in the air

Marissa, victimized by an infection

I came up with the concept of an infected Marissa who could become a secret boss in the game

When you come to her for the first time, she behaves as usual and asks you to listen to her song. You sit down in your seat, listen, she thanks you, and you leave. However, if you don't convert her into essence right away, the next time you visit her, she changes her appearance a little, and again asks you to listen to her sing, a little more insistently. As a result, with each of your visits, the signs that she is infected will become more obvious, and she will ask you to stay more and more intrusive, until finally she wants you to listen to her forever, and then the boss fight will happen

I think the Radiance captured her mind with bright memories of her beloved city and its inhabitants, now stricken by the plague, of her bright concerts and former glory, and of close friends who disappeared, were infected or were preparing to fall asleep forever. Most likely, she died possessed by these visions, and her ghost, who remained on the stage, unaware of his death, was also possessed

I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc

“some stuff was said about me online” thats how ur gonna refer to it?? good lord man

[jinxed-sinner]

So we're all in agreement that the end of Full Moon is not Blitz or Stolas's fault, and is the result of years of abuse and neglect Blitz suffered from Cash (probably with trauma from the circus fire mixed in) and years of abuse and neglect Stolas suffered from Paimon and Stella right

"If you ship this toxic ship there's something wrong with you." "If you like this character you're stanning war crimes." THEY'RE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. FIC. TION. AL. CHARACTERS.

Fiction is entertaining because it's FICTION. NOT. REAL. I don't see anyone lining up to cancel Bugs Bunny when he shoves dynamite in Elmer Fudd's gun. Because you know he's fictional.

You KNOW the difference between fictional and real. I know you do. I promise you do. Please leave people alone.

Iran is bombing Israel apparently, FAFO moment truly.

Both Biden and Trump are vowing to defend Israel with harsh military force against Iran.

If they follow through with it and the US moves against Iran, this will actually become a war.

Do not stop pressuring politicians to support Palestine. Do not stop advocating for Palestine. Do not stop protesting Israel. Do not stop protesting genocide.

From the river to the sea.

The writing on hotd is inconsistent and demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of the source material's themes that's genuinely going to lead them to a metaphorical dead end pretty quickly. Like it absolutely sucks but by god am I also enjoying the hell out of this mess (and getting to complain about it).

That being said, the visuals this season are fucking incredible- I am so glad we're getting actual good costuming this season because s1 was an inconsistent mess and this season we're actually seeing consistent silhouettes/styles for each of the characters and actual EMBROIDERY instead of the gaudy mismatched mess of trims and fantasy rick rack that we got in s1. Like the construction alone of the gowns this season is 8000 times better already, and that's not even taking into account the better quality of s2's fabrics.

Also someone on the production team has finally figured out that Eve Best is the hottest person on the show and are FINALLY outfitting her accordingly. God fucking bless whoever got them to get rid of that damn hair bump-it.

regardless of my opinions on how they handled claire and carmy i will say like...it is such valid "first relationship in your late twenties" representation. of course carmy is head over heels insane about her. she is the first good thing to happen to him and he has no way of knowing or believing it will ever happen to him again. of course he is dropping balls and isn't sure how to incorporate a relationship into his well-established life becuase he literally has no expirence doing that. he doesn't even know how to incorporate a FRIEND into his life that doesn't work with him or hasn't known him since birth. and of course carmen "self sabotage boy on fire ''you dug throwing up every day?'' knife tattoo "my family ruined everything that i enjoyed" berzatto is going to bail the second someone tells him he can't have it ?? like he already thinks that so of course he's going to take cicero's opinion to heart because here's this thing everyone else seems to know how to do that he doesn't and everyone is telling him that he's doing it wrong and don't fuck it up and but she's so nice like he's not nice?? idk i think he's being straight up stupid rn and i don't think the storyline was maybe written as well as i'd hope but also i don't think any of it was out of character as much as it was oddly handled to some extent

Everyone’s out here with their headcanons of trans Papas, their gay Papas…Meanwhile, I’m just here sitting on a blanket with my sign that says “What if Primo is a changeling and that’s why he’s having a hard time fitting in with humans?”

[essektheylyss]

I don't understand how some folks, both people who like and don't like shadowgast, seem to still want me to believe that Liam "caved" to Caleb and Essek being in a relationship because of fandom pressure and continues to go along with it halfheartedly only because of that even though he secretly hates it.

And meanwhile we have entirely unprompted asides like "Imagine two wizards—" "I do. Often."
