the further into buffy season 4 i get the more contempt i have for riley. he gets all sadboy and limps around whenever he remembers buffy is stronger and better than him. she’s compelled to apologize for it, every time!?!?! and he’s supposed to be the nice one out of all her boyfriends??

he thinks she literally DIES and is sad for a whole 2 seconds before hes back to being accusatory and shoving her around the place..... fuck this guy.

i love buffy. her most consistent character flaw is being a chronic man liker… which is valid but excruciating to watch 😔 mainly because i DOUBT it’s written to actually be a flaw, it’s probably just what joss bitchdon sees as a Universal Woman Trait. accommodating riley's feelings is priority #1 for her, unquestionably.

(she does reject spike, in the end, but id honestly argue that’s more to do with the writers’ feelings about the buffy/spike romance rather than anything to do with buffy herself…)

spike, faith, even angel… kind of funny how the ones who see and consistently remind buffy of her strength are also not categorical Good Guys. they have to be more aware of it cause they fight her, but… either way. she’s always gonna be the strongest even if nobody wants her to be.

i hate when stories start establishing our protagonist has lost their parents as a distinguishing characteristic. as if loss made them special and that's why all the exciting protagonist stuff is about to happen to them. like losing your parents suddenly makes you grow fairy wings. when in reality grief makes you feel the exact opposite of 'special'. it just feels like you have fused with boring sad adult life. like if you were dressed in the same pattern as the ugly wallpaper and couldn't be distinguished from the background of life. anyways. in my "what do you even know about grief" era.

It's so funny to me when fic writers mention a new made up first encounter of sskk when it's actually part of canon and we know how it went. Akutagawa ripped off Atsushi's leg. Good luck finding anything more romantic than that

The anti-choice “what if your mom had aborted YOU” argument is very funny to me because I was conceived partly because, when my dad was in college, a doctor told him that he couldn’t father children due to a bad case of mono. So, when my parents got married shortly after graduating, they were NOT careful about birth control. But I don’t see anyone advocating for doctors inaccurately telling nineteen-year-olds that their sperm all got boiled.

im a remake upon remake hater as much as the next guy but i really like all the different versions of death note. especially cuz most of em like. do something different with the franchise. something interesting in its own way if not outright better. like yesss what IF that happened instead. we can keep remaking death note we can make it More Better

there's a gif of matt ryan covered in blood that i have been staring at for at Least fifteen minutes now and getting very emotional about. legends of tomorrow took the pledge to fuck constantine up so seriously and now i am undone, like i still can't BELIEVE they did a version of his dangerous habits arc in live action. i'll never not feel like a kid at christmas about it.

I thought about working a 9-5 for the next 45 years of my life and all of my love for life has evaporated

HCQ lore is so....... their friendship was doomed from the start. nothing could've changed it, nothing will ever change it, and the consequences of forcing fates to walk a different destined path are felt even now. the dead can't die and those who DID die were reborn into captivity due to the sins of the past. deep, unconditional love corrupted by and because of that love to turn into unconditional hatred. vowing to grant each other the deaths that never end up lasting. and the only one who managed to escape relatively unscathed is doomed to watch the shadows of his friends chase each other in an endless, destructive cycle of death and rebirth. ghosts who wear the faces of those long lost, tearing at each other because retribution is all that survived the changes wrought by mara, by death, and by heresy. FOREVER DOOMED BY THE NARRATIVE.........

i've played through a few different Blood Moon routes with Beau (tho Vesper is kind of my Main Boy so i've definitely played more with him) and i'm having fun coming up with the sort of character he is

Beau, as his name might imply, is very pretty, and also very aware of it. he's also a charmer, and has a tendency to kind of lean into the blonde stereotype if people are gonna assume. so he comes off as just kind of a friendly, not terribly smart guy, but he's sharp and shrewd and observant and can be really cruel with it if he needs to be

thankfully, his pack is his Entire Soft Spot and he mostly uses his powers for good, or at the very least for the good of the pack (ie he tends to uuuh scam/straight up steal to make sure the pack is fed)

he's put so much of himself into the pack that he's not really all that good at thinking about what he actually needs or wants, which is why he winds up as the alpha oops

he's also had a huge crush on Sergi for a looooong time, but figured he wouldn't be interested and kept it to himself, and/or outright ignored it as something that could never happen
