#and ranting is totally fine

Nice mini comic on Philip accusing Catherine. Do you think Caleb not stepping in and disciplining his brother is one of the reasons he’s goes down the road he did? For the mini story shows two things that sum up the core of Philip’s issues: lack of empathy and he’s inability to accept error. I mean you can see how his schemes start off harmless but slowly get more dangerous and his attachment issues lead to some messy things happening. Do you fail that Caleb being too nice and young himself meant he never wanted to put his foot down on Philip(sorry for ranting just getting off my chest)?

I have some very specific ideas about their upbringing that I'm gonna explore in the main comic but yea, Caleb absolutely helped feed Phillip's burgeoning god complex. I don't see him as completely lacking empathy as much as having a twisted worldview that justifies denying empathy. If a kind person had snakes appear in their bedroom he'd probably feel bad for them and think they'd been cursed by a witch, but when it was someone who wronged him he'd justify it as a divine punishment they brought on themselves even tho he was the one who put the snakes there.

Kids are very bad at appropriately disciplining other kids, but Caleb was put in an especially hard position. He doesn't have the same authority as a parent but seeking help from adults in town would likely result in overly harsh punishments to the point that he would instead feel the need to cover for Phillip to protect him. When he could actually enforce a punishment he would be easily emotionally manipulated into rescinding or at least apologizing for it to keep his only surviving family from hating him. If it was an especially serious offense that he'd hold his ground on it could make Phillip feel bad enough to confess to others and get both of them in hot water. At this point it's spiraled into Phillip being perfectly willing to threaten Caleb for even a gentle suggestion he doesn't like (getting rid of the mask) so what is Caleb to do about something like the Catherine situation? And I had already made this lil Pip comic just for myself but it kinda fits so here ya go xD

ngl it is very disheartening when I see a positive post from a queer Christian, go into the notes, and just see other queer folks shitting on the OP for being a queer Christian. You aren't making the world any better, you're just being an asshole.

do you think the writers are being too slow revealing what happened with wukong and macaque? like should the full story been revealed in s4

That's very subjective!

For me personally, I'm totally fine with how it's played out. We get enough tidbits every season/developments with their dynamic that I'm pretty content. I also just think that when the time comes, how they choose to reveal that information to us (and especially to MK) will have optimal impact!

Idk, I just think it's going to work out you know

I need to subject you all to my analysis on Odysseus and specifically the line " I see a man who makes it home alive, but it's no longer you " in " No longer you "

Cutting for Wisdom Saga spoilers, and also it's fairly sad. With the accompaniment of my theory on what the last bit says in ' No longer you '

OKAY SO

Odysseus has changed in many ways from " No Longer You ". He finally decided he would become a monster to make it home to his wife and son. He made the choices he could to make sure as many people could make it home (like sacrificing 6 men to Scylla so the rest could survive.) he's tired and worn, both physically and mentally. But he can't rest until he makes it home. Everytime he let himself rest something has gone wrong. So when the God of Thunder tells him to either kill himself or kill his crew. Be changes. Not only was he betrayed AGAIN from Eurylochus in the entirety of Mutiny, but now he has to make the choice to kill his brother. It changes a man.

If the lyrics really ARE " Island Love ". We hear how worn Odysseus is in " Love in Paradise ". He still hasn't let himself rest, because this Goddess is tormenting him. Not only that, but he is haunted. He is haunted by his crew, his friends, his brothers. Even his mother. Before he couldn't close his eyes because he would see them. But now all he wants to do is close his eyes. He's all but given up. He's accepted he can't see Penelope. This Island is his end.

I don't know about you but ever since those really intense suicidal thoughts I have changed. Now I was given a second chance I fight harder. He hasn't gotten his second chance yet, but he's about to, with the Goddess of Wisdom "risking her life" for him.

I am beyond anger rn and I don't know what to do to cool off bc it's 1 am here and I can't just watch a comfort movie or blast music.

Does anyone have any recs for fluffy Azriel fics? No angst, just pure, tooth rotting, making-you-giggle-and-kick-your-feet kind of fluff. I want to stare at my screen with a stupid smile as I fall in love with him again. And if this won't help, then I won't be held accountable for my actions istg.

There is a very exquisite agony in playing a game you love so so so so so much, and realizing that one of the other players is trying to play a totally different game than you.

WHY do we need gendered languages?

It's bad enough that you need someone's gender to talk about them in English, but like... French? Spanish? Italian? German? All the other gendered languages?? WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME????

Like who decided that a table is a male and a teapot is a female or all the other shit like that?

Being a beginner artist is soo so scary because what if people throw tomatoes at me and hate me forever because they don't like my artstyle...,/lh

The debate surrounding the CG’s age honestly gets on my nerves as someone who sees them as young adults. Not just because of people trying to argue that they’re kids, but because of people trying to argue that they’re adults, no questions asked.

Like?? Correct me if I’m wrong but we never got confirmation of either?? So trying to argue for either case just doesn’t make any sense, just saying their ages are left to interpretation n you can do whatever is fine. Just let people hc what they want, it really doesn’t matter.

Hot take but I see so many people saying that Agatha said “ex … best friend” but what she really said was “ … EX best friend” which is subtle I guess but is also technically different.

And listen, I am queer and I know for sure that Agatha is also queer, and I even did my fair bit of shipping her with Wanda and I even acknowledge that in the end of WandaVision she totally calls her hot stuff and that is some funny gay shit.

But I have a particular bone to pick with this because the way Kathryn Hahn delivers this line and where she places emphasis seem (to me) seem to indicate that she was going to say best friend and thought to add “ex” before it to acknowledge that they aren’t friends anymore since she , you know, TRIED TO KILL HER. Agatha and Wanda didn’t date and this line doesn’t indicate it in any way.

Again, I’ve enjoyed the little haha heehee of considering Agatha and Wanda as a pairing and also love Agatha and Rio and that they are canon exes, and I love Agatha as a queer character even if she is single (and even if she is a ghost!!!).

I’ve also seen a lot of people saying she is a lesbian which is like, fine. Lesbians get a lot of hate and I understand wanting to claim a character that is a woman and has canon love for and/or attraction to a woman. But the reality is that her queer identity is never labeled in the show, and while it is CLEAR that she is into the ladies and that she isn’t straight she really also might be bisexual and frankly she may not be bisexual but Kathryn said “she loves everyone” and “she’s attracted to who she’s attracted to.”
