listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

#seeing some discourse and im not saying lucy grey didnt know #im saying she never dropped the kind of hints that she knew like she did in the movie #or if she did snow isnt worried about them until he very suddenly is consumed by them #snow is not concerned about whether or not she believed him. of course she did! hes snow!#but then shes gone…. for a while……#and its the sudden immediate drastic unravelling that comes across so clearly in the book #that i knew wouldn’t translate to screen yet still cant help but miss #the hunger games #coriolanus snow #tbosas #lucy gray baird #not a crime or anything just a note that i cannot stop thinking about #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #this is all from memory of reading it quite a while ago. so maybe 3 pages is an exaggeration #but i remember it happening VERY quickly and without much external cause #like we as the reader have no indication as to whether shes nearby or not.#snow has no idea either. he just SUSPECTS. and his suspicion breeds the hatred that has been bubbling inside him all this time #he hates how she undoes him. he hates that he WOULD run away with her if shed let him keep his secrets #and he HATES more than anything that she makes him WANT to tell his secrets #he wants to be vulnerable and reveal the ugly nasty parts about himself and still be loved #but he does not let himself and it is everyone’s downfall #he chooses cruelty bc it is easy and familiar and makes him feel more powerful than the vulnerable give and take that real love requires

#kny #kny fanart #mugen train #akaza #kny akaza #rengoku kyojuro #renkaza #akaren #demon slayer #demon slayer fanart #comic #kny comic #incorrect kny #nah obviously kyo would never get tired of being nice #what he DOES get tired of is expectations though!!!!!#he doesnt even realize he's tired!!!! it's just that one day it hits him that he only ever feels comfortable to be TRULY himself #around the demon that almost killed him. why? bc he lets himself be mean and ugly to akaza--why should a demon deserve his courtesy?#doesnt even realize he's baring his vulnerabilities with all the hateful emotions he directs toward akaza #and the way akaza actually reciprocates with baring his own vulnerabilities too #until one day he realizes he's *waiting* for akaza and that he'd *miss* akaza if he didnt show.#so where does that leave him but in love with a demon? 😔 ohh temptation

only fitting i end my ULTRACELLS set w/ this. i think

#i took “make them make out” as a challenge #ultrakill #dead cells #the beheaded #v1 ultrakill #draws #beheaded's 'head' is a curious case bc it can alternate between actually being a flame or the goop that his actual form is #i like to think that when he lets himself be vulnerable it's goop form #u dont rlly want to burn ur partner's face off? i guess?#anyway as for kissing v1: keep sucking its flat face 🫵#also i stand by the hc that v1 is a playful and curious thing if it's not fighting for survival #dont joke abt silly crossover ships..... worst mistake of my life !

idk quick doodles of a time where volo ends up finally giving up his plans and rei gets his friend back. i just really wanted to draw that hug haha

#pokemon #pokemon legends arceus #pokemon volo #pokemon rei #clai's art #i imagine it takes a very long time to chip down volo's defenses to this point #he is antagonistic to the absolutely last second but that hug Breaks him for the first time in his thousand year long life #i didnt draw it but please imagine him having a good long cathartic cry #and the second one. an interaction for volo that is entirely NON transactional for once! rei wants nothing from him but to hang out!#i just want to see volo finally letting himself be vulnerable. lower his guard for once since he hasnt done so in centuries #got some very nice tags on my other recent volo post that made me think about him again #doodlejoltik if you're reading this shoutouts to you i love reading all your thoughts about my stuff heehoo

#this is a cry for help please i have loved this clown for over a decade #When Bruce says “I can fix him” I completely understand & not bc I want to fix him #but bc despite all the atrocities he has committed you can't help but feel compassion for him #Joker constantly struggles to not let himself be seen vulnerable but when he does oh God it breaks my heart #I wouldn't know what to do if I were aware that I'm being doomed by the narrative & i had no escape even in death #to have a fate as tragic as being forced to become a myth #a monster who abandons all traces of humanity to make sure that someone else never abandons his #A lonely man who lives in a world of the dead and must do as much harm as possible to the only living person before his eyes #After all horror and obsession leads backs to love. oh god imagine loving as much as he does #Love as something twisted as a source of tragedy and death as an addiction a wound that never stops bleeding and hurts more every day #All you want is to be free #But someone else is holding on to you and will never let u go bcz he is afraid of being alone #and without you the weight of the world he carries on his shoulders would kill him he needs u as much as u need him #both are going to drown together #anyways hahaha i luv this stupid clown #joker #the joker #batjokes #bcz i got carried away writing the tags :p

HUSK, Hotel Bartender & Concierge | 1x04 - Masquerade

"Oh, I FORGOT — you're the wise-old bartender who's seen it all! Get the fuck over yourself and pour me a real drink."

#hazbin hotel #husk #husk hazbin hotel #hazbin husk #hazbin hotel edit #masquerade #my gifs #character spotlight #Certified Redemption ☑︎#hello hi i'm in love with the kitty man like actually #he NEEDS more screentime in s2 in fact he needs his own episode #PLS PLS she confirmed that we're gonna get to know some (but not all) of the character's backstories in s2 PLEASE LET HUSK BE ONE OF THEM #I'LL ACTUALLY DIE THANK YOU #alright i'm coming back to these tags to point stuff out #first off - the fact that he closes his eyes and shakes his head and reaches up to hold his suspenders before offering actual help #physically hyping himself up to lend a hand even though his whole thing is having an empty shell of a heart - apparently.#AAAAAA #but ALSO #holding his suspenders - self soothing gesture possibly? he knows lending a hand could give way to vulnerability on his end regardless if h #even shares personal information about himself or not - at the BARE MINIMUM he is saying ''look. i care a little. okay?'' by even OFFERING #help to begin with. AND OTHER THING!!!!!!!#the fact that he himself bitched and moaned earlier that episode about how EVERYONNEEE likes to bitch to the bartender #and he talks about how he knows everything about everyone seemingly against his better wishes #it's all part of the job he's forced to do #so you could also look at him shaking his head as a way for him to literally ''shake off'' that attitude because again. HE CARES.#even if it's just a little.#then GODDDDD his reaction to angel breaking down. the way he softens. his ears go down. he looks to the ground.#his ''old crusty heart'' was actually touched - not in the happy way of course. it was pain. struck with sympathy and remorse.#LISTEN I LOVE THIS GOD DAMN CAT OKAY

"When I first read the first couple of scenes I had to do for the audition, I was happy he's going to get put in his place time and time again, and that's great. But then, once we got into the show itself, it was important to me that I championed and justified every decision that Travis made. I spent five months loving this character in many ways, being empathetic with this character, finding new reasonings for what he was. His un-education in certain aspects, making sure that I took into consideration that 1996 is a different time period than now and he's not going to know how to react in those situations. And even now at the age of 17, 16, the reactions that people have when they're uneducated in those scenarios in terms of how you treat people." "And so I spent a big chunk of time championing him as best as I could, and then, it all flipped again when the show came out, and I watched it, and screamed at Travis, being like 'You, just talk to people. Care about people. Be there. Express yourself. Stop holding things in, and stop treating people so terribly.' But at the same time, I applaud Ashley and Bart for writing this character because I believe that people who don't act accordingly in situations, there is reason for that, and I think we try really hard to make it clear that there are reasons for why he is the way that he is." — Kevin Alves

You've never done that when I got close to you before. Why? None of your business. Tell me, or you can't leave.

KISEKI: DEAR TO ME Ep. 10

#kiseki: dear to me #kisekiedit #kdtm #kiseki dear to me #ai di x chen yi #chen yi x ai di #nat chen #chen bowen #louis chiang #chiang tien #jiang dian #uservid #userspring #userrain #pdribs #userspicy #userjjessi #*cajedit #*gif #every time i color this scene i get stronger. anyway there were so many expressions i just couldnt leave out. the deep breath ai di takes #steeling himself before admitting it. & the way chen yi absorbs it the way he blinks away & his mouth opens before focusing on ai di again #thinking about it. thinking about four years of attacks ai di had to withstand. understanding the way he is now but hating how its happened #and also the guilt hes gotta feel from that! & yet thats overcome in this moment by a need to not let ai di put a wall between them #which is what ai di keeps trying to do. he admits a vulnerable thing and then deflects FOUR TIMES in this scene. first when sleeping #& choking chen yi when woken(& avoiding when questioned abt it). second by dropping his guard & worrying when he finds chen yi injured #& twice more shown in this set. he has to shake it off he has to put his wall back up but his instincts are strongest & chen yi SEES them.#you can see the way ai di wants to relax into that hug. the way he just wants to BREATHE but instead uses those breaths to defend himself #he chooses to flirt hoping it'll make chen yi back off. hoping he'll stop asking him to be vulnerable. but chen yi knows his tricks now.#and hes not going to let ai di continue believing he doesnt CARE about him. its poetic the way he gives him a taste of his own medicine #like it's *strategic*. he watches and learns. he knows his own influence over ai di he knows that HE is ai di's weakness. it's..chef's kiss

UMM?? GUYS??

Alt coz ik the quality is bad::

[The mind Bill knows best. Pure ego. Putty in Bill's hands. Bill will also reveal that, while he was possessing Ford in the 80's, he ripped out a number of pages from Ford's journal and erased his memory of them. Bill will show the LOST PAGES from JOURNAL 3 that have never before been seen]

DOES ANYONE WANNA TALK ABOUT THE MEMORY ERASE THINGY COZ IM GOING PRETTY MUCH INSANE OVER THIS INFO. WHAT.

#ok but imagine if this is really what coulda happened. that bill suddenly realised that ford is the only one he's been THAT vulnerable with #and that he might or might not have fallen for him in the process #and in the pure NEED to avoid any sentimentality he doesn't only DENIES all that happened between them but also erases the memories of ford #like?? the first and only relationship he ever felt safe in enough to be honest about the reality of what happened to euclydia??#or the fact that it might or might not has been the only relationship in which he let himself be intimate with sb??#and this relationship CRUMBLING COMPLETELY #bill fumbling SO BAD that he wants to deny that any of that happened in the first place??#it kinda eliminates his manipulation of “hey look so we've been close w each other once so why not get back to that for old time's sake!”#but GOOD GOLLY this guy sucksss at manipulations anyway but is like an expert in the art of denies #it just adds such a huge ass layer to him as a character #this is prolly non canon btw but STILL #gravity falls #bill cipher #stanford pines #billford #book of bill #alex hirsch

I think it bypass a lot of people that in Yuji's Domain, he and Sukuna still fought. It did not go away until 268.

Yuji did not just have a "yap session" (I really hate that term now) with Sukuna, he gave him a chance to live. Mind you, again, they were still in Yuji's Domain from 265 - 268. So every hit Yuji landed on Sukuna was a critical hit, a guaranteed hit. Exactly what Domain Expansions do.

DEs are just reflections of that person. But they are still battlegrounds.

Look at the start of their fight in 266!

That's where they were last seen in 265! Look at the gate!

If one pays attention, they'll see that they just moved as they fought.

Actually, just thinking about it... it's something that in Yuji's Domain, their physical appearances changes.

#'all they did was talk in his domain!' no they didn't #they got right to fighting after yuji gave sukuna that choice and sukuna turned it down #therefore putting himself in a vulnerable spot IN SOMEONE ELSE'S DOMAIN #shit might have worked with gojo BUT YUJI'S DOMAIN IS NEW #let's not forget he was there to witness how gojo's domain worked in the very beginning of the story #just kiya's thoughts #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #jjk spoilers #jjk manga spoilers #jjk 268 #itadori yuji #yuji itadori #sukuna #ryomen sukuna

Still thinking about this by the way

#like there's the later line where shes like 'she wouldn't settle for so little after enduring so much' but something about this one and the #way it's phrased just makes me sooooo #inej ghafa queen of setting boundaries and valuing yourself #like he can't bring himself to tell her how he feels and even though he's clearly trying here by letting her touch him. if he can't actually #be emotionally vulnerable with her then it's just not going to work. she loves him and she knows he loves her but she deserves to be with #someone who will actually tell her that and let her in #i love her so much #inej ghafa #kanej #six of crows #image description in alt

Um if you write Jason having to get drugs for Catherine I want you dead btw. Not only does it tell me you assume the average drug dealer would give the hard shit to a very small child and then not supervise them at all (classist stereotype that all drug dealers are inherently evil + lazy writing with no grasp on reality) and you genuinely think that Catherine was CONSTANTLY high, as if that's even possible without overdosing far sooner than she did. That's without even getting into the bad mom Catherine propaganda.

#dc #jason todd #Catherine Todd #I don't like talking about personal shit on the Internet #but I'm someone who grew up in a family of addicts and dealers and the attitude so many of these fics have #is so fucked up #like yeah my uncle would give a 15 year old weed but he won't even let them be in the house while he's doing coke #every dealer I've ever met had been THRILLED about my enthusiasm towards school and they always encouraged me #Multiple of them have given me actual job opportunities because they know a lot of people and they help their own #you guys actually just hate poor people and demonize addiction!#it's actually starting to piss me off #you don't have to write Cathy as a perfect example of morality #but if you turn her into a neglectful monster I assume you're either classist or projecting #it actually is possible to write Jason parentifying himself in order to take care of Cathy #without blaming a terminally ill woman who was already dying and likely in immense pain #you guys could be critiquing capitalism and our healthcare system and how it fails the most vulnerable people in our society #but instead you're playing up how gross and evil addicts and dealers and petty crooks are to make Jason's lige sadder???#his life already sucks you don't have to be classist to make it worse I promise
