#and frankly isnt that interesting!

Forget "gray Jedi" I want to explore Nightsister morality. A culture steeped in dark side magick but which seemingly has many members that shy away from pure evil.
Ventress, who's a Sith apprentice tossed aside, clinging to the dark yet occasionally drifting closer to the Light, using a yellow lightsaber, devoting herself to the Force while still using her hatred and pain? Merrin, who retains her Nightsister culture, resurrects the dead, and yet pries her Jedi lover from the very brink of the Dark she draws from?
I'd take exploration of this type over "gray Jedi" any day of the week.
#asajj ventress#merrin#nightsisters#nightsister culture#nightsister lore#gray jedi#I'm far from the MOST anti-gray Jedi person out there#but i do think it creates major lore problems#and frankly isnt that interesting!#jedi cultute is BUILT on the light side and its philosophies#without room for shades of gray#but nightsisters?#nightsisters' force use is built on mystery and magic steeped in darkness#but seems to leave room for the light#and that fascinates me okay??

day 251
so like remember when i said i was gonna be mentally ill about utena
#day 251#year 4#aradia megido#jade harley#homestuck#arajade#revolutionary girl utena#so this is a wip but i dont have the time or energy to finish it today unfortunately#i do plan to finish it at a later date tho#this isnt really meant to be like#a fully realized au or anything#utena doesnt seem like the kind of thing that lends itself super well to this kind of au?#like the kind where you slot other characters into the roles or the setting of the og series#the characters that exist in it are too integral to the like. Point of the thing. to me at least#BUT there are some themes that cross over really well#into the things i find the most most most interesting about aradia and jade and the differences between them#and how they cope with an environment that attacks their agency and like. responsibility. and resisting the established narrative. and. and#and okay TBH? yeah i drew jade in the rose bride fit. but frankly i could say some shit about EITHER of them in either role.#the themes are absolutely there like theres a connection im making in my brain here i swear im just struggling to articulate it#maybe once i finish the drawing i will have finished my rgu arajade thoughts as well.

wild how Miorine didn’t appear once but how often she was invoked in this episode. Shaddiq’s (disgusting) accusations towards Guel not taking responsibility with her, Petra’s only wish to survive and demand a proper date from Lauda, Chuchu telling Nika that she needs to tell her the truth and the entire truth, otherwise they can’t even start on the path to forgiveness. The Greenhouse being crushed underneath a Gundam, the article that was sent to Suletta in the beginning. Earth House unsure how to handle it, Suletta back in class, zoning out.
#this isnt really anything but it's interesting to me#miorine is so important to this story and that's an obvious thing to say but the real intriguing thing is that since she IS that important#it always means something when she specifically Does Not Appear.#we have no idea what she's doing right now or HOW she's doing frankly#we hardly know how suletta feels or what she thinks about the attack on earth#but mio's still there. she's still there.#mobile suit gundam the witch from mercury#g witch#g witch spoilers#miorine rembran#shaddiq zenelli#guel jeturk#petra itta#lauda jeturk#chuchu panlunch#nika nanaura#suletta mercury#sulemio#smokey speaks

hilarious being a Jon Kent fan and seeing people who don't like him have takes I 100% agree with.
#yeah he really should be more like lois#yeah kid jon and his childhood fovus on clark SUCKS ASS fuck u Tomasi#yeah his relationship with damian frankly isnt interesting enough for all the fuss#totally get why you dont like him stranger thank you for not randomly being racist to jay#low bar to clear ik but most people do not fucking clear it#I think part of why teen jon works better is like. the foundation is at least THERE for him to move past all the above stuff#and i find his struggle with the superman mantle compelling and relatable enough that i can tolerate how much i hate kid jons writing#kid jon is so deeply uncritical of what being superman one day burdens jon with#and dont get me started on what Tomasi did with lois. don't even START me#anti jon kent#<- VERY funny tag for me of all people to use#teen jon has the decency to eat hot chip be bisexual and lie#what is kid jon doing other than reducing Lois down to motherhood and then drinking piss

so far have thrown out pages and pages and pages of me attempting to philosophise my way out of depression
#spoilers. it didnt work LMAO#u might think 'but hey isnt it good to keep it to compare etc etc'#when i say pages i mean PAGES.#ive kept some that are in journals but there are So many.#and also frankly. it is difficult to read in a practical sense LMAO...#my handwriting could get bad. and even when it was nice and legible i wrote in whole blocks#not nice to read. and ive said this before#but T obliterated my interest in philosophising and rumination. its just over

As someone who is canonically strong. I think the thing that bothers me the most is when people go out of their way to try to carry something heavy for me even when they know how strong I am.
Like, dude, my guy...you've seen all this in action. You're just embarrassing yourself with your own insecurities.
#now this isnt to say that i hate when anyone tries to carry things for me#its the intentions behind it#it feels different and the vibes are quite frankly rancid#i think thats also why i get annoyed at a lot of manhua with strong FLs#if theres a love interest they start treating her like shes made of glass#like bro...that is not what anyone wants its just infantilizing and frankly insulting

There's something interesting about how sam and dean's hell experiences are portrayed. Dean has just enough agency in hell to become the aggressor, while sam is only the victim and can only be the victim
#idk something about the way dean becomes a master torturer while sam becomes a master of being tortured#and this isnt to say dean deserved it or had it easy but there's just.. a Difference#idk i have thoughts about how this contributes to why i cant get my head around people viewing dean as the poor poor victim#and sam as the Horrible younger brother#and it's not the hell experiences themselves but how they're portrayed#there's a bit of a sense of 'sam deserved it sam asked for it'#while dean didnt#despite the fact that dean frankly did not need to make the deal#but sam /did/ need to be the one to beat the devil#and the way that dean post hell /becomes/ the aggressor#whereas sam post hell. doesnt do that#once again i just think its something interesting#and these are just half formed thoughts#and i dont like the interpretation that dean is weak for breaking in hell bc he's not#like this isnt to drag /dean/ but rather to highlight something in the difference of the writing#for each experience#lea speaks

I'm so tired.
Bonus meme under cut:
This is both for him in general (or at least the fanon version dominating fics) and extra for him as Robin specifically tbh. Let him grow up and find an identity outside of being Bruce's emotional support child. It's not like it's actually helping anymore anyways.
#I really minimized the fanon Tim things in there.#Not the least of which including making their age difference wider so Jason can angst over beating up “a kid” despite only being 2 yrs apar#Overemphasizing Tim's “genius” and making Jason stupid & incompetent & everything he does is wrong#Skewed interpretations of the emotional & moral conflict in UTRH/between Jason & Bruce that somehow Tim fixes#Ceo Tim Drake “boohoo Dick wouldn't believe me that Bruce was alive (tho I never actually gave him my evidence abt that)”#WHICH FOR THE RECORD EVEN TIM HAD DOUBTS ABOUT HE JUST HAD TO BELIEVE OR ELSE HE'D FALL APART.#LIKE THE ENTIRETY OF RED ROBIN IS STRUCTURED TO CAST DOUBT ON TIM'S JUDGEMENT THE WHOLE TIME.#ITS NOT LIKE THIS KID DOESNT FAMOUSLY HAVE A HISTORY OF NOT TAKING GRIEF WELL. GESTURES AT THE FAILED SUPERBOY CLONES.#Sidenote I saw a post about ignoring that Tim was a sexist earlier on in his comics & tbh I think youre only allowed to do that if you dont#Woobify him. Like if you want to ignore that but overfocus on every bad thing ppl have done to him then fuck off#Also have you considered that him being sexist but growing out of it is a POSITIVE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ARC that could be interesting?#Wally for example had some really bigoted views bcs of how he was raised but grew out of & its why I always loved him#Frankly if you want to talk about Jason doing unforgivable injuries on the younger kids let's go to Battle for the Cowl#But then you'd have to scknowledge bad (worse) things happened to Damian too & Timmy isn't special now wouldn't you?#Look I'm not asking for every goddamned fic to be comics accurate but can we just not commit character assassination so consistently#That it's fucking impossible to find fic that *isnt* like that?#Fuck I don't even understand how people find this version of Tim engaging. It's funny for memes but an actual plot?#Managed to switch my “I think Tim is a little boring (neutral to affectionate)” to “I think Tim makes things boring (derogatory)”

just started reading book 3 in this series and page 1 is taking no prisoners hgdshdslk
#YOURE DAMN RIGHT HES UNDESERVING#for like a solid half of book 2 i was going ''im going to strangle this man''#i think the worst part is how oblivious he is to his own shortcomings#like if he was cruel that would be one thing#but no he just. does not see women as people. and it never occurs to him that there could be anything amiss in his view of the world#krista d. ball said 'this man does not deserve a first name' and she was RIGHT#anyway please read the ladies occult society books by krista d ball if you like regency settings#specifically with a lot of detail. i cant speak to how Historically Accurate(tm) it is but there is clearly SO much care put into all of it#like describing the logistics of having dresses made and suchlike#it reminds me of in little women when they talk about needing new ribbon for a bonnet or something but like More of that. i love it#eliza does a lot of very careful budgeting because she has to#oh uh. content warning for several kinds of abuse. for sure financial & reproductive abuse but possibly other kinds as well#i feel like im not really selling the series here but it is SO interesting#focused on all the little ways women eke out some independence in a society that systematically denies them any#also theres magic#as of the end of book 2 there are bickering lesbian ghosts#im pretty sure anyway. lesbianism not yet confirmed but like. frankly i would be very surprised if theyre not gay#characters who were never married but are still somehow divorced.#i should also say it isnt Romance it is Historical Fantasy#i think there is going to be a romance at some point. but it is definitely not the main focus & it's possible there wont be one#im rooting for mr sidney sinclair at the moment but we dont know him that well yet. he might turn out not to be trustworthy#anyway. good series. enjoying it#bookposting

Avoids inevitable drama and discourse over Pokemon starters each time new ones are revealed by simply not liking or using any of them since GSC
I'm p sure hisuian typhlosion was the only starter I genuinely liked enough to keep on my team the whole game since gen 2
#this isnt meant to be a nostalgia goggles post about how older starters were better#bc quite frankly there arent any starters from any gen i really really like#just i do like typhlosion and feraligatr but even then its like. theyre ok#theres just always other pokemon i find so much more interesting and I rarely ever feel compelled to use my starter at all

tired of 'vortex is the only girl on the combaticons'. what if brawl is the only girl on the combaticons. what then
#red rambles#MORE GIRLS WHO WIN BARE KNUCKLE BRAWLS AGAINST CIS MEN AND WEIGH APPROXIMATELY 3000 POUNDS THANK YOUUUU#this isnt serious obviously all of the combaticons can be girls and/or not girls at will. i just don't think Scary Hot Evil Girl is that#interesting. my dad and my brother and i watched suicide squad and i have been entirely sated on Wacky Scary Evil Girls for the next like#six months or something. its just not that interesting. there are better ways to do this out there#if you can only have one girl etc etc etc#also frankly if we're talking idw it should be swindle bringing gender home from dealings with aliens. first with she/her pronouns then wit#weirder alien genders. trying them out like new paint and putting them on to help his customers feel at ease. and then it should just get i#into their groundwater until suddenly onslaught is using ze/hir pronouns and blast off is identifying with a fifth gender from an alien#mushroom species that has a gender about going to space. and so on#but that's asking a lot from a 'four guys one girl' lineup fan

also it's so fun that he decides not to be a monk anymore by basically going 'well GOD made me an insane and swashbuckling loverman and who am i to argue with the divine' in a scene that is equal parts romantic comedy and 'emilio sees the door and knows his purpose'. like well i WOULD have a really deep conversion but .. sadly .. im too fun and sexy anyway let's go back to paris and i'll see if the queen still wants me to get in her pannier
#oh . hang on . the emilio in my head . thinking about him again#oh he would be so great at surviving the horrors................i have half the show cast in my mind already#cousin greg plays jimmy simply because he's six foot seven . there's no other reason for it frankly#willem dafoe plays THEE yarborough of Ugly Gay Cowboy Priest fame#mr cabrera. The Emilio (he has the range to go from this to it was my pain it was my love. i know it)#this isnt even a musketeers post anymore its a lets cast the sparrow post . WHO! would you cast as anne#thats very important to me is who to cast as anne edwards . like who could fill the carrie fisher shaped gap there#the musketeers#and uh#the sparrow#I GUESS#q#fuck dude . thoguht id finish an old favorite show again before it went off a platform and now im knee deep in special interest

My bestie/housemates new hyperfixation is like. Boys. All the dating apps, spent the evening messaging 5 at the same time for 8 hours while I was working. Which is fine but I have to say it's my least favourite of his hyperfixations.
#i knew stuff about dnd and it was fun bonding but i cannot get the fucker off his fucking phone long enough to have a conversation anymore#and even if he is. its cause hes talking to me about the boys. and after the first 10 its hard for me to keep interest#also Im SO fucking jealous but i just canttttttt imagine hooking up or dating pre top surgery like it makes me feel awful to think abt it#but that doesnt mean im not. inconceivabley jealous of the dating and hooking up#please on god talk to me abt anything that isnt sex im begging you#im trynna stay sex positive and supportive of his slutting but frankly. im over it

I disagree with some things Amzet is talking about, but it's interesting hearing his perspective.
#i talk#qsmp talk#I won't do a translation because frankly my Spanish isnt that good but#essentially he's saying if you need money you shouldnt do volunteer work#like I said my Spanish isn't Fantastic so I won't do a play by play saying exactly what I disagree with#because I've missed a few things and I dont want to imply that he DIDNT discuss certain points#you know what I mean?#but like I said it's interesting hearing his perspective#that being said. always frickin weird hearing him talk#been almost a year but I'm still like ''yeah thats Bobby''#it seems like things were better on the admin team when he was around#I think the perspective of crunchtime + overwork is missing from the convo rn though but he's still talking
