I need everyone upset about Liam's promotion to understand that it had nothing to do with him being better/worse than Yuki. Yuki outperformed him. Yuki deserved the chance. BUT Yuki is not a Redbull driver. He is a Honda driver. He has no loyalty to Redbull and that is why he did not get a chance next to Max. It's not that he didn't deserve it. It's pure business.
Redbull are ending their relationship with Honda. They are creating their own engines. It's likely seen as a big liability to Redbull to have Yuki actively involved in any tests or even near anything involving the 2026 engine.
This is not an attack on Yuki or his character or anything like that, so please do not take it that way. But, Yuki's loyalty to a different engine manufacturer is a major risk to any new manufacturer like the Ford/Redbull powertrain. You just never know. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a good drive, but Yuki's loyalty will forever be to Honda (as it should) and that poses a lot of risks for Redbull.
Once again, I am not commenting on Yuki's character or making assumptions about him when I say this, but there are a lot of big concerns if he gets promoted. He could ditch them for Aston immediately because Honda asks, he could share information about the new engine to Honda, or he could give questionable feedback that negatively impacts the new powertrain. Maybe he wouldn't do these things. But if there's even the most miniscule potential that he could, it would make any team hesitant. F1 is rampant with cheating allegations and questionable tactics to win. The teams will want to protect themselves in any eventuality. And that is what's working against Yuki so greatly.
Yuki has proven to be a very competent driver over the past year, but let's not forget that he nearly lost his seat in 2023 and the rumored reason he stayed is due to Honda. He owes his career to Honda, not Redbull. And at the end of the day, that's his main flaw within this team. It's not his driving. It's not his temper. It's not anything else. It's purely who he is aligned to poltically in the racing world. Is that fair? No. Is that how racing works? Unfortunately, yes.

I think it's time we talked about the doctor's "do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?" in relation to the master.
Bc throughout their lives, everytime the master did something bad, when he’d cone back they'd still have a sort of teasing relationship. Like they both knew it was a game. They both knew their limits and the true extent of their games. So there wasn't really place for betrayal in the game bc they both knew betrayal (on the master's side) WAS involved in it.
Then comes the time war and the doctor thinks he did the unforgivable and committed genocide on his own planet. And then the master shows up, arguably his most important friend, the only one who truly understands him - and then the master does something that's pretty unforgivable by enslaving the human race and turning the people at the end of the universe in killing machines. And yet the doctor, in a very important scene, forgives him like it's the easiest thing. Because they're still the same, the game hasn't changed, they're still on tjr same page, still doing the same things to each other.
And 12 was careful and a bit wary but he wholeheartedly wanted to help missy change - he saved her life in the process too. And I think he was happy at the prospect of missy becoming good bc that meant that the person he felt closest too, who was fundamentally different from him before (and it was okay bc it was in the rules of the game), was ready to be even more like him. Soulmatism x1000.
He thought missy wanted to change the rules of the game and that meant betrayal would no longer be part of it. He wouldn't run and she wouldn't stab him in the back for it.
Thing is - he thinks missy betrayed him. And he STAYED. He asked her to stay too, which is different from what he used to do to her - abandon her, run from her etc. And he thought that he was changing the rules of the game too. But missy betrayed him (in his eyes, he doesn’t know she wanted to come back) and he felt like they no longer even had the game.
The thing with 13 and the master is that the whole "do you think I care for you so little thag betraying me would make a difference?" doesn't seem applicable anymore and you wonder why. Bc it's not like they don't CARE about each other, in a twisted way. It's that the master still wants to play the game, although with significantly more violence because he's significantly hurting more than ever before, and the doctor doesn't want to play the game anymore at all.

so i know literally everyone thinks this but WHY CAN'T BELLA AND EDWARD JUST BE SILLY!! why cant they jusy laugh and have FUN!!!
i have a few scenarios i would LOVE to be true:
-Edwards talking to Bella outside her window on a tree branch, and it breaks and he falls
-Bella sings stupid songs that gets stuck in Edward's head (mayhaps that one song thag goes 'chicken wing chicken wing hotdog and bologna chicken and macaroni chillin' with my homies')
i know thats not how bella is at all but come on that would be so funny...
-Bella hides behind things and scares Edward since he can't read her mind
-just normal teenage things UGH

My problems with Alicent’s writing this season (and esp in episode eight) are mostly the execution .
The thing is that ,the situation Alicent is in is pretty difficult .As much as there’s debate on whenever Aemond had a point or not in forcing Helaena to war ,it makes sense for Alicent to want to protect Helaena .Its also true that she can’t influence Aemond anymore that the Blacks have the upper hand and that Alicent (very similarly to Cole) is growing more and more disillusioned and horrified at the whole war thing .So I kind of understand why should go to Rhaenyra and beg for mercy .
Thing is thag I don’t think Alicent would give up ,I think Alicent loves Aegon enough and is smart enough to come up with the plan to snuggle him out ,and to find a way to snuggle Helaena and Jaehaera too ,therefore protecting them from Rhaenyra and Aemond .I understand that she’s stressed and for the horrors of the war she doesn’t even believe anymore and for freedom for her and her daughter and that she truly feels like she can’t do anything politically but I truly think that she would think better .

the love from a father aka one piece men and how they handle their kids
warnings: gn reader; mentions/allusions of death in roger and whitebeards
Tumblr media
shanks tries but he travels a lot. he’s got a lot of people out there who need him. he doesn’t think kids belong on the sea. that’s why he turned down luffy and even uta’s cries to let them go with him and the crew. he has a hard time coming to terms with the fact that he doesn’t know when he’ll see them next. but you can bet your bottom dollar that the second you turn 17 he’s letting you hop on board red force and set sail. he loves traveling with you but god help anyone he dares to even look at his baby in the wrong way. ships are going down.
roger on the other hand could never say no to his kid asking to hop on board. he’s already got shanks and buggy, and eventually oden’s clan as well, so why can’t his kid join? he can’t wait to show you the world. he wants you to know the world like he does. he’ll hoist you over his shoulders and run around the oro jackson to make sure you’re more than in tune with everything on the ship. always makes sure you’re safe after a run in with any other crew. when the time comes, he leaves you with shanks and buggy while they finished up the last voyage. after the crew disbanded, he left you in the care of rayleigh. having one final request that you find the one piece with ace.
rayleigh is blunt to say the least. don’t get him wrong! he loved his kid more than anything in the world, but he’s still rayleigh. he made sure you knew how to fend for yourself from a young age, sparring you up again shanks and buggy whenever he could. doesn’t know how to handle it when you get hurt. just kinda starts laughing before picking you up and handing you over to crocus to have him patch you up. type of dad to nudge his flask at you and raise an eyebrow. after he retires he makes sure to keep up with his kid. you’ve probably gone off to form your own crew or join one but the humble boat coater ray will still call every now and again.
whitebeard adores his kid. there’s no doubt about it in anyone’s mind. like rayleigh he makes sure you’re able to fight from a young age. instead of putting you against other crew members he just shows you himself. all the commanders are ready to kill for you. marco definitely takes over on “fatherly” duties when roger needs a break but as you get older he becomes more of an older brother. he was an orphan so he wants to make sure his kid knows that there is no blank space when it comes to loving them. he’s said before that a family is the greatest treasure one can have and he knows thag couldn’t be more true.

Omega verse- Alpha Baji has the most intense scent- it’s like if you rode in a car for a few mins and you come out smelling like the car seat still yea that’s how strong his scent is.
So imagine how insane mating with him is. His cock thrusting roughly and he practically rubbing onto you to make sure you smell so much like him that when anyone else walks they smell Baji. He making sure when mating season comes again your hole smells like Baji cock thag he miles just for his size only
- 🌑
cw : smut, omegaverse
for the sake of pissing off that anon that was hating, i’ll answer this. BUT AFTER THIS I REALLY AM ON BREAK
so! baji not only has a very strong, distinct scent, but he also just does not care about controlling it in the least bit. he lets his scent literally roll off of him in very thick, all-consuming waves that could borderline send an omega into heat (i have no doubt that he’s done that before). so his scent just, clings to you like you’re a heavy duty magnet even if you’re around him for a few minutes.
and when he’s mating you, the same is very very true. in fact, he pushes out his pheromones so that you’ll be drenched in just him. not a single soul would ever think to go near you when all you smell like is aggressive feral alpha that will not hesitate to fuck a bitch up for even stepping near his mate. he makes sure to scent you, dig his nose into your scent glands and rub himself all over you as he’s fucking into you, rough and desperate because he needs you to smell like him and only him. he never wants his scent to fade from you ever.
and when he cums, he probably smears it all over you so that everyone can smell that you belong to him.

I love Arthur from husband x reader x ex!! He’s the man of my dreams!! My boo 😍! Imma gonna be thinking about him during breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Can you do part 2? Or just some headcanons on him! I can’t get over this man!!!
(A short little peek into your and Arthur’s romantic trip)
Tumblr media
Character: Arthur
Scenario: You and your new husbands first morning on your honeymoon.
———————
The feeling of someone running their fingers through your hair woke you from your deep sleep. Pulling the sheets closer you tried to go back to resting but the warm sunrays falling on you said that it was about time to wake up.
Opening your eyes you were met with your now husband comfortably nesting you in his arms. Shifting, you tried to turn on your other side but Arthur wouldn't let you. He tightened his grip on you and said,
"Haha, why are you turning away?" He chuckled and leaned down to kiss your forehead.
You groaned and closed your eyes again, "mmm...."
He pushed you into his are chest and began nuzzling your (h/c) hair, a laugh left you and a smile made its way onto your face, unable to resist your husbands antics. This only served to make him happier and peppered you in kisses.
It was the day after your wedding and you had just spent the first night on your honeymoon in a positively rated hotel in the Maldives. The ceremony was incredible and everything you dreamt of.
“Good morning.” You yawned and rubbed the sleep from your eyes.
“Good morning, love.” Arthur sighed in bliss at your cute expression in the morning, it made his day ten times better. He couldn’t believe he was finally married to you, it was a dream come true!
“What time is it?”
The dark haired man glanced back at the clock on the nightstand on his side and answered, “It’s seven o’clock right now, you can sleep in more. We still have three hours until breakfast closes and otherwise we can just go out to eat lunch later, you deserve some good rest, my dear.”
“No,” you shook your head, “let’s go.”
“Really? We don’t have to.” Your spouse didn’t want to force you to wake up if you were still tired from the day before, but if you really wanted to like you said he would come with you to enjoy a delicious hotel breakfast.
“Let’s go right now, last one there is a rotten egg!” You kept from the bed and rushed to get dressed in order to reach the dining hall in the main building before your husband.
As soon as Arthur realised you were really meaning it, he hurried to race with you. Unfortunately it later turned out that despite your initial small head-start he was still faster than you. Which you blamed on him having easier clothes to put in while the zipper on your dress regularly got stuck.
He decided to humour you and you two savoured a flavoured breakfast in the resturant section. The hotel had a vast majority of different foods thag you found it hard to chose, in the end you took a little bit of everything and settled for a cup of coffee to go with it.
That was just the beginning of a wonderful and romantic trip for you and your sweet Arthur.

Asking for the oc romance thing and making u think -
10, 11?, and 13 for taddison (whichever one is the soothes/annoys ones)
And 10 for hazing because I want to hear how you phrase it
Rude. (jkjk)
Taddison
10: 'What is your OC's favorite trait of their partner's? What's their partner's favorite trait of theirs?'
Trep's favorite trait of Addison's is that he is always willing to go head to head with whoever, if he has to. Ofc this is Trep, so it's even more specific in that he likes that Addison will butt heads with *him* but it's still an endearing trait all over. It was one of the first things he started appreciating about Addison - that he would throw down with an Impostor if it meant helping his crew.
Addison's favorite trait of Trep's is that he's a hot alien. And I'm kind of not kidding? Fkgng I mean, there is plenty not related to looks that Addison very much appreciates about Trep but I keep coming back to his first thoughts being about. Touching Trep. Soft hair and tentacles and sharp teeth. The way he cuddles, gets all soft and limp when he's comfortable - what, I think Addison deserves to be a little shallow sometimes.
11: 'What's one thing about your OC's partner that annoys them? What's one thing about your OC that annoys their partner? How do they deal with that?'
This one is probably pretty obvious. One thing about Trep that annoys Addison is that he has very loose and often non-existant morals. That what ethics and sympathy he has only really extend to Addison and people Addison likes. This is something thags definitely *improved* over time, but over all Trep is very selfish in this way and it can be problematic.
One thing about Addison that annoys Trep is almost exactly the opposite - and it's the same thing he loves about him. He will go toe to toe with anyone, take on anything, run himself ragged to the bone - and there are times when it's a fine line between strength and recklessness. And trying to keep Addison from self-destructing or running himself to death is a full time job, sometimes.
13: 'What's one thing about your OC's partner that soothes your OC? What's one thing about your OC that soothes their partner?'
I think the answer is the same for them both, sorry if that seems like a cop-out - but it's that the other is *there.*
It takes him time to get there, but eventually Trep comes to understand that Addison isn't going to leave him. Isn't going to abandon him. If he needs a warm body to cuddle or someone to listen to him rant or someone to come hunting with him - Addison will be there. And he can trust that if for any reason Addison *cant* be there, he has a good reason for it and will be honest with Trep about why.
Similarly, Addison knows that Trep has his back without hesitation. That even in the hardest moments when it feels like the whole world is on his shoulders, and everything is going wrong, Addison never has to face it alone because Trep is there.
Hazing 10: 'What is your OC's favorite trait of their partner's? What's their partner's favorite trait of theirs?'
Freak matches Freak man what more do you want me to say?
Jkjk
Well, Hazel's favorite physical trait of Fleece's is their eyes - he hates being stared at but he loves looking in there so what are you gonna do? This wasn't always true and developed in time - and the reason why he likes their eyes is really because of his favorite over all trait about them which is that they pay attention to him. When their eyes are on him that's because they're *looking* at him, usually staring even, and once Hazel gets past the discomfort he could really just lose himself in there ("there" being the sensation of being *known* and seen)
Fleece's favorite trait of Hazel's? Funny idiot guy. Will tell off anything and everything - consequences be damned. Gets knocked down and gets right back up again. His absolute confidence in everything he says and does is so misguided and undeserved and it's funny as hell to see. Hazel takes himself so, so seriously but he's literally the only one who does. Also makes him a fun chewtoy. Bite and squeeze him but he just bounces right back. Enrichment toy.

OK @zukkaart said something that stuck with me and I have to write a little something for it
"Katara cries rhe day she turns the age her mother died" so I'm going on a whim on her mother's age . If anyone knows her true Age I'll edit it.
I decided not to put an age
Katara woke up screaming. A horrible, stomach clenching scream. Her hands rushed to her ears to block out the noise. Where was it coming from? It had to STOP.
There was a pounding in her chest, loud like the ceremonial drums they used. But there was also a tightness, making it hard to breathe.
All of a sudden warmth engulfed her, a soft gentle voice coaxing her out of this maddening state. Slowly all that was left of evidence that something was wrong was the thundering of her heard in her ears.
"Are you with me now?" Aang asked softly, stroking her hair.
She gripped onto his sleep shirt and leaned into his touch. Comfort was there, in Aang.
It took a long time to feel comfortable opening her eyes.
"Im sorry..." she said quietly.
Aang shook his head. "Never say sorry. Do... do you want to talk about it?" He asked softly.
"I don't know... I just... it felt like I was in a nightmare and all I knew how to get out of it was to scream."
Aang frowned. "We'll... thags one way to start you birthday."
Katara stopped in her tracks. Her birthday.
She scrambled out of Aang's hold to grab their calandar. 6th. She collapsed on the floor, her whole body shaking. She couldn't believe it. The day had come.
Aang was confused. "Kat?"
She started as if she didn't know he was there. "I uhm...," she began, swallowing hard. "This is the age my Anaana died."
Aang froze, his eyes wide. "Oh."
Katara laughed , the sound hollow. "A body never forgets truama. It just holds it for another time. I.. I didn't know I'd react like this."
"Thats OK. Its fine. We can work through this together," Aang said with a smile.
Katara looked at him. "Together."

so
i think it's time for my fnaf movie rant
HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE SPOILERS (obviously)
these are in no particular order and are just a conglomeration of thoughts that i wrote down immediately after watching so they don't make any sense half the time, and don't include theories i've seen recently
enjoy
- THE MATPAT CAMEO??? THE THEORY LINE???? HOLY FUCKING SHIT. THE THEATER SCREAMED.
- why did golden freddy pull a sans w the blue eye what happened to the white smh
- DUDE. I CALLED THE 'VANESSA AS AFTON'S DAUGHTER' HALFWAY THROUGH THE FUCKING MOVIE
- THE SECOND SHE EXPLAINED THAG SHE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THAT SHE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO HELP, IT WAS OBVIOUS.
- because mike explained that their dad was gone, right? and afton clearly recognized the schmidt name. due to this, i originally thought that maybe schmidt was some code name and that only the aftons could recognize it, but now i have a theory
- the families are switched somehow. Vanessa is either a stand-in for Charlie or herself, which makes no sense story-wise
- however, Mike, Abby, and Garrett are clearly afton children. Mike is Mike (and in the games, Mike apparently uses Schmidt anyway to investigate his dad), Abby can bring lengthened to Elizabeth, and the crying child doesn't even canonically have a name 💀
- so i was thinking what if the families were eswitched? vanessa was some sort of charlie stand-in, with afton as her dad, while the schmidts were raised by Henry
- this would explain why he recognized schmidt and offered the job at Freddy's - he'd already killed Garrett, so he wanted to finish off the collection. Mayne this could be a parallel to him killing Charlie, but since there's three kids, he needs to get them all??? idfk
- ONE OF THE GUYS BREAKING IN HAD A MIDNIGHT MOTORISTS T-SJIRT (the guy who got killed by the cupcake)
- i am soglad i went with who I did because i doubt any of my other friends would understand any of it 😭
- THEY PLAYED LIVING TOMBSTONE AT THE END. YES. THANK YOU. THAT IS ALL WE EVER NEEDED IN LIFE.
- the balloon boy bit 😭 i doubt anyone not in the fandom would appreciate it as well as we did smh
- ugh i wish mark had his cameo but iron lung is important too ig
- THE WAY THE AUDIENCE SCREAMED WHEN AFTON TOOK OFF HIS MASK BRAHAHHDHCJC
- WE WERE ALL WAITIJG FOR IT
- we probably won't get to see a "WAS THAT THE BITE OF '87" moment because garrett got kidnapped instead of chomped smh
- BUT. THEY KEPT THE GUILT. IN THE GAMES, MICHAEL SHOVED CC INTO FREDBEAR'S MOUTH. IN THE MOVIE, HE WASNT PAYING ATTENTION, WHICH CAUSED HIS BROTHER TO GET KIDNAPPED. OH THE FUCKING PARALLELS DUUUUDE
- also max getting bit in half is probably all we're gonna get of The Bite
- MATTHEW LILLARD FUCKING ATE. HE KNEW THE ASSIGNMENT. BEST AFTON.
- only issue is the lack of screaming during the springlocking. only your stomach is getting stabbed, not your throat yet. Scream.
- it would've been so funny if he pulled the "MICHAELLL DONT LEAVE ME HERE MICHAEL MICHAEL" while he was being dragged away but homie was too busy dying
- HE SAID THE LINE. "I ALWAYS COME BACK." OH MY GOD.
- NOBODY EXPECTSD VANESSA TO GET STABBED. THE THEATER GASPED.
- "IT'S ME" ON THE MIRROR DBSJAJXJXJXJDJ
- stop bonnie and chica staring down the camera while they release the cupcake is so funny 😭
- MORE ON THE FAMILY SWITCH. ABBY IS ELIZABETH, OBVIOUSLY, WHICH IS ONLY MADE MORE TRUE BC CHICA TRIES TO SHOVE HER INTO THAT DOLL-LOOKING THING. YOU KNOW WHAT IT RESEMBLES? SCRAP BABY. MY FIRST THOUGHT ABOUT THAT SUIT WAS "dude is that scrap baby?"
- the lack of a mrs. afton is so real 🤩🤩
- dude the entire fort scene was actually so fucking hilario
us
- like bonnie just. falling backwards. is so him yk
- BUT GOLDEN FREDDY. THERES THE KID. WHERE'S CASSIDY? IS GARRETT ALSO POSSESSING GOLDEN FREDDY IF HE'S THE PARALLEL FOR CC? WHAT ABOUT VANESSA? 
- the issue with the family swap is that Vanessa just doesn't fit in. we can't play it off as a parallel to Charlie, because vanessa is already an established character with a connection to afton.  fuck you Scott.
- SPEAKING OF. SCOTT KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. HE CATERED TO US LIKE A FUCKING ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BUFFET. THE INSIDE REFERENCES AND EASTER EGGS?! THE MATPAT CAMEO??? THE LIVONG TOMBSTONE?!?!?! 
- a bit upset they didn't keep Freddy's flashing face sequence smh
- THE SPRINGLOCKING WAS SO GOOD BC THEY LEFT HIM IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION AS CANON. ALSO IT WAS GOLDEN FREDDY WHO FINALLY LEFT HIM THERE, WHICH IS A HIT AT THE WHOLE "GOLDEN FREDDY HATES AFTON THE MOST" (cough cough ultimate custom night)
- they kept in the red eyes in some parts but im very glad they weren't in the rest. they looked fucking high. what happened to the black with white?? THAT WOULDVE BEEN TEN TIMES SCARIER AND APPEALED TO CANON, WHATS THE WITH THE CHANGE MAN 😭
- bonnie never got his eyebrows
- cupcake slayed and ate (literally!!!!)
- im actually super curious why half of spring bonnie is so damaged. now, it could go with the whole "this place hasn't been touched in forever, yadda yadda, destroyed suit makes it more sensitive and easy to set off" but. it's only one half of it. there could be a perfectly plausible explanation of "Oh yeah, only half of it was exposed to bad stuff, other half was covered with a tarp" ITS FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S. ITS NEVER THAT SIMPLE. HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING? also a bit curious about whether movie afton already got springlocked once like book afton did (has game afton getting springlocked previously been confirmed? please lmk)
- i really love how they used the "the robots are just children" because they love abby and just want to play and shit and they're so sweet but they're so easily manipulatable 
like
afton probably didn't have to do much besides show the pictures and convince them he was good
and all it took for them to turn on him was abby drawing a second picture
what if she convinced them vanessa was bad or some shit? they are really fucking gullible.
- also what the fuck was that freddy head saw blade monstrosity??!! what 😭 
- like it never ends up being explained and it's not a stand-in for springlocks or being shoved into suits because those are very very much there
- literally the second i heart matpat's voice my heart went oop 
- it took a second for everyone to register it but we went WILD
- AND HE DROPPED THE "BUT THATS JUST A THEORY"
- HE'S SO SILLY
- FOOD THEORY IS SO REAL THO 😭
- no bc a markiplier cameo would be so great but imagine if they used his reaction thing
- like they got him to film "WAS THAT THE BITE OF '87" as max gets bitten, and he appears in the corner for that one line
- even better, not reaction camera style, just standing there right next to her and then never being mentioned again
- either that or him popping up on the cameras (again, either as a reaction image, or standing there menacingly)
- THEY HAD SPARKY
- also why DID vanessa keep Mike in the dark abt afton (not calling him her dad, not stooping that low) and him trying to kill Abby? fear of authorities getting involved? this is bumfuck nowhere Utah, she is the fucking authority, and considering what his aunt said, a police officer defending her dad against some random guy isn't gonna go well for him
- like sure she told him to not bring abby but she didn't tell him why of course it's not gonna go well
- about the family swap. it's so easy to tell the scmidts are supposed to be a version of the afton kids, why the fuck did they name him GARRETT?
- I love the whole references to phone guy
Would've loved to see actual phone guy (imagine if THAT was matpat's cameo)(coughs in fnaf the musical) but afton is good enough
but abby's "hello" while exploring Freddy's sounds so much lime balloon boy wtf
- abby is a monogram (or whatever it's called) for baby which might not have that much symbolism bc abby is short for Elizabeth but the more the merrier yk
- i think i answered my own question abt whether movie afton has been springlocked
considering how he fuckign SPRINTED at michael and made all these moves like kicking and shit? yeah, I'm more surprised it took him so long to get springlocked
same with game afton actually like.. hello? stop laughing at the fucking dead kids in such a damp room, it's your own fault dumbass
Basically book afton was the smartest about wearing the suit bc of experience
- THE WAY CARL LAUNCHED ITSELF AT MICHAEL WILL NEVER NOT BE FUNNY LIKE BRO FUCKING ASCENDED 😭
- my friend is complaining abt how flirty Vanessa is w Michael which is really funny for no reaskn
- MY FRIEND INSULTED FOXY'S "dum dum dum" SAYING HES NOT CUT OUT FOR MUSIC. HELLO?!?!?@?@?@?@@
- as my friend mentioned, springlock scene was kinda anticlimactic lmao like where's the screaming? the blood?
- according to the same friend mentioned three times already:
Best parts of the movie
1. Matpat saying "that's just a theory"
2. Living tombstone credits
3. Vanessa getting stabbed
- the sounds at the end spell out "come find me" so wooohooo sequel time?? :))
- the "i always come back" was NOT it 😭 at least he said it yk
- okay someone pointed out that it was his last words so they were desperate and mad and showcase his lack of confidence in if he's actually gonna come back 
which is cool
but I like the og more yk
- about abby's springlock suit: its the same doll from 1:35 am (fazbear frights 3), then there's sparky as an animatronic ans restaraunt, wppohoho

Kankharevata (Thag 1.3) (Thag 3) | Shégan Issari
                See this:
the discernment
of the Tathagatas,
like a fire ablaze in the night,
giving light, giving eyes,
to those who come,
subduing their doubt.
"Single Verses: (1.3)" (Thag 3), translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
Thag 1.3, attributed to Kankharevata is contemplative transmission on the luminous wisdom of the Tathāgatas—enlightened beings in Buddhism, most notably the Siddhartha Gautama himself. This verse captures the essence of the Buddha's wisdom as a transformative force, depicted as a beacon that illuminates the path to complete liberation and dispels the darkness of ignorance, separation, and division.
The imagery of discernment as a "fire ablaze in the night" is rich with symbolic resonance. Fire, in many spiritual traditions, represents purification, transformation, and enlightenment. Here, it illustrates the penetrating and illuminating nature of the Tathāgata’s wisdom, which burns away the obscurities that cloud human perception, much like a fire that renders visible the hidden aspects of the physical world in the darkness of night. The reference to giving "light" and "eyes" suggests the enlightening impact of this wisdom, enabling followers to behold the true and unfettered nature of reality, which is otherwise obscured by forces of ignorance and delusion.
The phrase "subduing their doubt" emphasizes the role of the Tathāgata's teachings in overcoming the uncertainties and skepticisms that hinder spiritual progress. Doubt, in the Buddhist context, is one of the five hindrances that impede the development of concentration and insight. By subduing doubt, the teachings of the Tathāgatas facilitate a firmer, unshakeable confidence in the Dhamma, leading practitioners towards a deeper, experiential understanding of spiritual truths.
The Tathāgata, from both exoteric and esoteric perspectives, conceptually embodies the ultimate realization of the Gautama’s Way. Exoterically, the Tathāgata could be understood as a historical figure, Siddhartha Gautama, whose teachings guide overcoming suffering through ethical living, meditation, and wisdom. Esoterically, the Tathāgata represents a transcendent reality—an embodiment of the Dharma itself, timeless and present in all ages, signifying the universal potential for enlightenment inherent in all beings. This dual understanding enriches the concept, making it both a personal guide and a cosmic principle, accessible through inward contemplation and outward reverence.
The term Tathāgata, suggesting "one who has truly gone" or "one who has become authentic," deepens our appreciation of the Buddha's unique spiritual status, as well as that of his arahant disciples. This epithet not only personalizes the enlightened experience but also universalizes it, indicating that such a state is accessible to other realized beings within the Buddhist tradition. The rich tapestry of interpretations from the Pali commentaries highlights different facets of enlightenment, showing the complexity of Kankharevata’s imagery of light and vision.
The departure from ordinary understanding and existence that enlightenment entails is underscored by the Buddha's use of the term Tathāgata when referring to himself, coupled with doctrinal clarifications that neither the five aggregates nor any other phenomenal reality can fully account for the nature of Tathāgata. This interpretative richness also addresses the metaphysical nuances of the Tathāgata's existence, particularly in relation to post-mortem states, where traditional views on existence and non-existence fail to encapsulate the enlightened state of witnessing.
Historically, the term Tathāgata is most frequently associated with Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha. Literally translated as "one who has thus gone" or "one who has thus come," it carries connotations of one who has arrived at a profound truth or departed from the realm of suffering.
Philosophically, the Tathāgata challenges conventional notions of existence and non-existence. From an ontological perspective, the Buddha often used the term to point towards the ineffability of an enlightened being’s state. The famous tetralemma regarding the Tathāgata — whether he exists after death, does not exist, both, or neither — serves to dismantle rigid ontological categories. This suggests that the state of a Tathāgata transcends ordinary understanding and existence, living in a reality where usual dualities (existence and non-existence, coming and going) do not apply. This interpretation invites a deeper metaphysical inquiry into the nature of reality and existence as understood within Buddhist thought.
In esoteric Buddhist contexts, the Tathāgata is seen not merely as an individual who attained enlightenment but as a symbol of the enlightenment potential inherent in all beings. This is closely linked with the Mahayana doctrine of Buddha-nature, which posits that all sentient beings possess an intrinsic, latent capacity for enlightenment, akin to a seed that inherently contains the potential to become a tree. The Tathāgata, in this view, is both a personal attainment and a universal principle, embodying the ultimate truth of inherent Buddhahood.
From a psychological viewpoint, the Tathāgata can be understood as representing the highest potential of human consciousness. This includes the integration and transcendence of the psychological aggregates (skandhas) that compose personality and identity. In existential terms, the Tathāgata exemplifies the liberation from existential suffering, the realization of no-self (anattā), and the transcendence of the cycle of birth and rebirth (samsāra). This perspective focuses on the transformational impact of Tathāgata’s realization in the practical and existential domains of human life.
Comparatively, the Tathāgata could be juxtaposed with similar figures in other spiritual traditions who embody the ultimate truth or reality, such as the concept of Christ in Christianity as the Logos, or the Brahman in Hindu philosophy. This approach fosters an integrative understanding, highlighting the universal themes of enlightenment, transcendence, and ultimate reality across different religious and philosophical traditions.
Kankharevata’s verse, therefore, does more than describe a mere moment of clarity; it encapsulates the entire soteriological aim of Buddhist Philosophy—to illuminate the mind through the profound wisdom of the Tathāgata, who transcends and transforms the perception of conventional realities. This fire of discernment that blazes through the night does not just dispel darkness but radically alters the landscape of understanding and experience, guiding beings toward a liberation that is as inclusive as the definition of the Tathāgata itself—open to all who truly seek to "go" or "become" thus. This verse from the Theragāthā, in its elegant and symbolic brevity, captures the essence of Buddhist enlightenment—inviting deep reflection on the nature of existence and the transformative power of true wisdom.
