#and then he was underappreciated

[ceratedfish24]

I don’t usually care that much about Flower Ranchers, but I do enjoy some Scott-centric Flower Ranchers. People seem to forget that Scott was widowed and abandoned and no one ever comforted him or apologized to him, and Jimmy moved on like it never happened to begin with. If Scott joins the Ranchers’ relationship, it won’t be without PTSD or, at the very least, abandonment issues.

He’s going to overthink every little thing.

He’s going to think that he’s not an equal part of their relationship.

He’s going to think that he is lucky to be in their lives without ever considering that they might think themselves to be the lucky ones to have him.

He’s going to think that it would be wrong for him to sleep in the middle of the bed.

He’s going to think it would be intrusive of him to sit between them on the couch.

He’s going to think it would be rude for him not to always be the one to clear the table after dinner and clean the house during his spare time.

He’s going to avoid being in relationship pictures.

He’s going to avoid participating in banter, because it might not sound right coming from the person new to the relationship.

He’s going to avoid asking for affection.

He’s going to feel like an add-on.

He’s going to feel like he doesn’t contribute enough.

He’s going to feel like he’s overstepping if he asks if they can go to a restaurant he’s had in mind.

He’s going to feel like an intruder in a relationship that was just fine before he was around, because he clearly wasn’t wanted last time and he doesn’t know what it was that he did wrong.

He’s going to feel like, if he asks for anything at all, if he is too loud, if he is too needy, if he is too bold, if he is too lazy, if he takes up space, if he costs too much, if he is ever an inconvenience, they’ll leave him without a word. And he has good reason to!! One of them did that to him and refused to say that he loved him and they never reconciled about it!!!

Scott would 100% treat their relationship more like a job he bullshitted the application for rather than like a relationship.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 2.05 "Don't Be Afraid, Just Start the Tape"

[sapphorror]

The Narrator's perspective only gets more horrifying the longer you think about it. Like, imagine being an Echo of yourself—one of many, all made to serve a very particular purpose and knowingly living on borrowed time, if 'living' is even the right word for your current state of pseudo-existence.

You've inherited the mission of a dead man—it's literally the only thing left that you can do before fading, so you sure as hell better believe in it; the alternative would be unbearable. Only you keep failing. With every loop that you don't remember, your lack of agency in this situation becomes starker—you can influence small things, sure, but it becomes increasingly clear that you have no real power, no matter how personally invested you are in the events unfolding in front of you. You are, after all, only an Echo. You've forfeited the right to meaningfully engage with the world.

Worse—every loop you're made aware of is another time you've failed, with unimaginable consequences, though you had no control over these previous iterations of yourself and can't even learn from their mistakes. Everyone around you is operating on a shared perception of reality that you are not part of, will never be part of. After a few repetitions, you are, ironically, the least informed person in the room. All you have left to go on is an evidently outdated script. At the same time, everyone else is experiencing a contiguous version of you, comprised of parts that are, in some sense, also you, while at the same time existing at a complete remove from your current perception of self. Whatever you don't know you did—that's you now. You are, after all, only an Echo. You've forfeited the right to define your own identity, never mind know what it is.

Even worse—this has trapped you within a stagnant hell of your own creation. Nothing you say or do really matters in terms of your own self (the rest of the world is a separate issue entirely). Anything you've come to believe—say, for totally hypothetical example, that you were wrong actually and your envisioned paradise is really a hell beyond any you had the capacity to envision—has about as much permanence as a drawing in the sand. 'You' will continue, exactly as you were, no matter how much you might like to change your behavior. Every possible future has already been set in stone. You are, after all, only an Echo. You've forfeited the right to say anything you haven't already said.

For some reason, no part of any of this has made you feel more comfortable and at peace with the general concept of finality.

The really, truly absolute worst part, though?

There is no one for you to blame but yourself. And that's exactly what turns your story into such a tragedy.

Can we talk about how badass Wind Waker Link is? Like, he’s some random peasant kid whose sister got kidnapped and he put the Triforce of Courage back together with his bare hands, somehow was able to use the Master Sword, basically bullying the Gods into giving him the title of the Hero of the Wind, defeat Ganon, and save Hyrule, while having no fucking clue what he was doing. He is the embodiment of “fine, I’ll do it myself”.

I was watching the episode when the Batch went back to Barton IV and was kind of amused that it only took an ice wyrm and a near death experience to reconcile Hunter and Crosshair. Talking didn't work but somehow nearly dying for each other did.

Ladies.

[cometblaster2070]

entirely incorrect i'm sure but a silly thing I was just wondering about was yk how in the promised consort radahn fight during his phase change radahn looks like THIS:

and then miquella comes in and this strange red aura fades from radahn and it's replaced by miquella's golden light

(forgive me for the atrocious picture but)

and then miquella himself comes and joins the fight by just piggybacking on radhan

and ik this comparison's probably been made before, but I found miquella and radahn's pose really interesting along with the details of radahn being surrounded by this glowing red aura and literally SHAKING the ground during his mid-phase cutscene, looking absolutely FERAL, before miquella comes in and radahn seems to calm down (sort of????) in a way and the glowing red is instead replaced by miquella's gold before the aura completely vanishes.

and what it reminded me of was primarily godfrey and serosh

and i wondered if this was that kind of scenario because with godfrey and serosh, godfrey took serosh upon his back to suppress his lust for battle so that he could act as a 'proper lord'

so i wonder if during that cutscene when we see radahn glowing RED and shaking the ground and generally looking altogether terrifying, we're basically seeing radahn's bloodlust/lust for battle arise before miquella comes in and suppresses that urge; he ends up acting as the serosh to radahn's godfrey to suppress this battle lust so that radahn can act as a 'proper lord' or something along those lines.

just something i was thinking about because I was rewatching PCR's cutscene (it's so insanely cool.) and I just wondered about this detail. It's definitely wrong but I find it interesting to think on all the same.

Sure, you show up when people are organizing picket lines and protests that'll be covered in the news, but do you ever go to the fucking organizing meetings? Do you have any idea what's going on between the high-profile actions? Do you know what other tasks need volunteers? Or are you just there for the things that are "fun" and get attention from outside observers?
