#and how lighthearted it is despite that

[its-stupidhours]

obsessed with the dynamic of this lethal company stream tbh. the way they keep killing each other for no reason and laughing at each other and goading each other into walking into landmines and jumping off balconies and then sticking as close together as they can and warning against genuine danger despite it all. the way they have no idea what they're doing at any moment so failboat has to lead them around like they're lost puppies or something. della and smant constantly ganging up on CJ together. "we can even make out a little if you're interested." do u see my della/CJ/smant/failboat vision

"And why would we have come running in at the first yelp?" "....because we care about each other." "Oh, f***ing sh**, we do? Amazing, does that apply to you as well?" "...I don't know..." "Oh, I think it does."

I absolutely love Fjord and Beau's friendship and bromance

Shoutout to this draft I made a couple hours ago when I suddenly had an epiphany for how I could fix a part of my story and I was so excited that the only way I could express it is to write whatever this is but I couldn’t post it because I didn’t have internet

also it got marked as mature for some reason

sometimes i like to think that horror comes to dust's room late at night just to talk to phantom papyrus. no he doesn't wanna talk to dust. horror probably doesn't even CARE if dust's awake at the asscrack of dawn or rambling off to the hallucination too loudly this late at night because he just wants to talk to phantom papyrus

horror's not delusional enough to believe that phantom paps is actually real and his own papyrus like dust does but sometimes he really wants to,,,, so just for these short moments between them he wants to pretend that the hallucination is his papyrus. that he gets to talk to his own brother before everything went to shit and before he ruined his brother's life. yeah sure phantom paps kinda says some crazy stuff that horror's papyrus never would back then but so what?? dust's papyrus is the closest thing he's got and at least he doesn't have to deal with the guilt at even LOOKING at his brother's face (the sunken eyesockets,,,, the uneven teeth,,,,, yeah no) because there's nothing there. horror doesn't have to do anything but keep his back turned to dust and just talk to papyrus through him

they both keep their backs turned to eachother when they do this because neither of them can stand looking at eachother. dust especially because hearing horror sound so much like how he was before. horror sounds so lighthearted and relaxed and just,,,,, normal that it almost reminds dust of himself. maybe if he closed his eyes and tuned out his own voice he could just imagine the moment being a conversation between himself and paps back then before he had to kill him over and over. dust doesn't want to have to look back and see horror's mutilated skull and his permanently replaced eye. he doesn't want the fake scenario he's choosing to indulge in right now to be broken

and then i think they talk like that for a long time; because horror has a lot to say to paps about himself and what he regrets and dust has a lot of reminiscing to do on the good old days before he lost himself :3

Oh I fucking hated that Manifest ending it made absolutely no sense. Rant and spoilers under cut.

Why in hell would they go back to 2013 and undo everything that happened over the last 11 years??? Sure the passengers are forever changed, but what about Olive’s journey? Jared and Drea? All of the other nonpassengers who grew and learned and became something better because of this story? And why them? Zeke survived his death date and he didn’t go back (at least, not until he died the second time). Zeke got to have cool powers and it kinda sucks cuz he was the only one we know who survived his death date so he’s the only one we got to see be affected by it. It would’ve been cool to see what the passengers could do and also how the rest of the world would have reacted. The world HATED the 828ers and instead of getting some resolution with them finding out that the 828ers saved the world, they just all never actually experienced it?

Also, wasn’t something that was a hidden gift in the whole thing that Saanvi’s research had time to develop during those 5 1/2 years? If they go back, then Cal would still be sick and without the research this time. That undos all of that and the connection that that made between Saanvi and the Stones and how fate connected them in so many ways. And they specifically said that they needed time to finish her research and start the trials. He would’ve been dead if he waited. That was a specific point.

Because of the time pause, Olive is now significantly younger than TJ, which the show addresses by making him look at her sadly and then sets him up with Violet. Not only did they steal Olive’s story and growth, they also just completely ruined their relationship that I loved. Plus, they never really gave them a satisfying ending pre-apocalypse. All they did was have Olive say she wanted to fix things so they could have a future together, only for that to now be impossible (unless they meet again in like 10 years when it’s a less weird age gap). This is kind of a smaller reason, but it still bugs me cuz they had such potential to be a great ship and were constantly pushed under a rug, especially there at the end.

And what are they supposed to do now? This is a problem in a lot of time travel/day repeating stories where someone changes seemingly overnight with no explanation except instead of just one person, it’s almost 200. 200 people who know things about the next 11 years, who have been changed beyond recognition, who are now going to change so much stuff in the future that didn’t need to be changed. Yeah, they’re all better people now and will work to do good (allegedly) yadda yadda. What about all the passengers who fell in love with nonpassengers that they now may never meet? Or, like TJ and Olive, can’t be together because of the time jump. Yeah Mick found Zeke and now they can be happily ever after, but what about the nonpassengers who were changed in the years between and now aren’t the same person that the passenger fell in love with? So many of us are shaped by our experiences. What happened to all the other passengers, to their stories? What if the person that they fall in love with’s life is altered because of the choices another passenger makes? What if they move to another state, fall in love with someone else, die??? Another issue tule travel causes is that even the smallest action can domino into something completely different, even just one person let alone TWO HUNDRED. I know that this is probably not something most people think about and they just pay attention to Grace and Zeke being alive and all the happy moments, but it’s not that simple for me and it BUGS ME when writers don’t consider this.

Lastly, on a similar note, how is this any different than it ending with “it was all a dream”??? Like nothing actually changes, none of their callings are set in stone and they’ll have to remember every single thing they did during those 5 1/2 years, things that won’t happen until YEARS later. Ugh I just so hated the way they ended things and it sucks cuz I love this show a lot.

kept on thinking about some of the more emotional beats of the kurokara lore while i was trying to fall asleep last night and i just... i need to explode...

So, recently, I realized another part of the reason I fixated so much on Trip is the same reason I identified with Jane from Return to Neverland around their age... just feeling like an adult in my preteen years (and younger...), but now I was just reminded of Uptown Girls (and that devestating scene with the adult-like girl and child-like woman miserably turning that teacup ride in opposite directions) and seeing it turn up on so many blogs about this whole "we acted too grown-up as kids and now we act like kids as adults" thing is so......... ah.

I get it...

I always kept childhood things close, I didn't let people define what I can or can't enjoy as a child or adult, so that's good, but the Trauma and folks saying I wasn't a kid anymore at, like, 11, still made me feel like a wholly separate from others my age. Ten year olds seemed like little kids to me, I didn't relate at all back then. I'm glad I never lost my sense of wonder and fortunate I saw adults who kept childhood things close (like a coworker of my bio-mother's, who kept figures of Sesame Street characters in a work desk), I like to think I can be that person too, since my Little Twin Stars purse often got curious looks. Growing up doesn't mean abandoning everything you love...

Even if some of the kids of patients I see get confused by my offering toys or colouring pages or sweets to them, sometimes, you get an older kid who's happy to be offered one. Even if it's seen as funny or uncool by a bunch of kids who are in a hurry to grow up, I think it's better not to rush the process and acknowledge everyone's growing at their own pace and keeping what you enjoy and brings you comfort for as long as you need it, it makes the transition easier if you don't force it, you know?

all the negative criticism i’ve seen of gomens s2 can be boiled down to “it’s too queer and it makes me uncomfortable” which means it was great and neil did his job

[waywardsalt]

was going through my blog trying to track down an old post i made talking abt my feelings on jolene and it was. much longer than i remembered it being. and haha yeah i still agree with it. i need to fucking. sort out my feelings on that character and that subplot

[eye-of-yelough]

even though i never plan on doing it, i will never not be compelled by the sheer fucked up-ness of the concept of aeryn/astarion romance. aeryn/karlach too. pretty much everyone honestly

i mean no matter who he romances he’s gonna betray them for gortash in the end, so it kinda doesn’t matter who it is. he has this weird version of “universally shippable” because of that. it’s very fun to imagine, not just what the relationship would be like, but specifically the betrayal. the hurt.

falling in love with someone, realising they’re fucked in the head, meeting the guy who did the fucking, watching them leave you to go back to that shithead like the life-changing last month or so didn’t even happen, and then watching them die in his arms with a smile on his face.

like yeah they stop the elder brain but that shit would have you fucked UP for a good long while afterwards

not only is discord a perfectly viable way to harbor community circles or whatever but the thought of joining something exclusively filled with tumblr users sounds like the quickest way to a mental breakdown

[choatic-bumblebee-agenda]

I hate when people ask "How are you?" because there are a million answers running through my head and none of them accurately represent my mental state
