And who makes those rules? You?

Listen, things might seem dire now but Kainess needed to break up in order for them to get stronger. They will get back together but in order to do that they need to evolve, something that never would have happened for Ness if he stuck by Kaiser’s side.
For the longest time i stood by the fact that Kaiser would be the one to initiate the break up, because Ness’s loyalty has been highlighted time and time again and he never would have left Kaiser of his own will, BUT i also strongly believe that Kaiser will also be the one who will initiate the reconcilliation.
I feel like this page is foreshadowing of that due to Ness’s obvious parallels to Kaiser’s ball and Kaiser’s treatment of them.

#tomgreg#just having a bit of fun with this episode :)#i just can't get over the scene where everybody is coming at tom at all angles#mirroring what he says at the beginning and he fully exposes how dependant he is on greg and how much he leans on him#and greg steps up and tries to corral the siblings bc tom can't breathe#and then tom begs him please PLEASE and greg tries to lead them all ESPECIALLY shiv bc he knows tom is vulnerable right now and#shiv is dangerous re: guard dog#ALSO THE NOPE YOU CAN GIVE IT TO ME BILLY I DIDNT NOTICE THAT FIRST GO ROUND#and tom looks and POSSIBLY smiles at him??? :(( sigh. he appreciates the readiness in which greg is acting in his side of the partnership#something tom hasn't really gotten before...... sigh. sigh#and the end like i Know it was for greg himself but it was for tom too i'm putting my foot down#especially with fry her ass up at the beginning here it's even easier to associate the two#plus the whole information is like fine wine etc etc. it was for himself And for tom#iwould go so far as to say Especially For tom. don't @ me

how do i turn qantoine’s spontaneous marriage proposal to qetoiles into evidence of his early-days fear of qfrench drifing away and keeping secrets from one another

“Harrow worked each finger gently within its socket, and said, this time more brightly: “So, Griddle, this is where you are to be my shining star. You’re going out there to be my eyes.”
“What?”
“My skeletons don’t have photoreceptors, Nav,” the necromancer said calmly. “I know they’re being destroyed with blunt force. I have no idea what by, and I need to keep my hand on the thanergetic lock. You have perfectly functional eye jelly; you have a dubious but capable brain; you’re going to stand out there and look through the window. Got it?”
There was nothing objectionable to this role, which was why Gideon was automatically suspicious of it. But she said, “As you wish, my lamentable queen,” and ducked out the Imaging door.
#Gideon the ninth#yes the beginning of the partnership#the books gets so much better for me once they team up#sparks fly#lamentable queen#dubious brain

To be revisited when I have time to write up all the roles: murder mystery au with Strickler and Blinky as the detective duo
#trollhunters#maybe it starts as a fun pretend game#but then someone disappears for REAL#and Strickler is ready to go Liam Neeson to find them but Blinky still doesn't trust him#so he insists on going along to make sure HE'S not actually the one behind the disappearance#and so begins a reluctant partnership that becomes true friendship#(eventually)

"You are reckless."
"Speak for yourself," Arafinwë snaps. Eönwë closes the enterance to the tent. "I am not half as reckless as you, and besides," he turns sharpy, eyes piercing and angry, "I am not a toddler in need of a guard. I do not need you to hover over me like I am going to die the second you turn around!"
"I do not hover over you!" Eönwë feels his voice rising as Arafinwë all but tears his armor off, throwing it on the ground with little to no regard. "I saved your life, Arafinwë! If I didn't turn around-"
"I would be just fine! By Varda, Eönwë - you grabbed me like I was a helpless kitten, I had it under control!"
"Your control," Eönwë spits, "would have landed you dead. You are reckless! Reckless, and - Manwë help me! Idiotic! You are an idiot! "
"Oh, well," Arafinwë hisses, "maybe my place isn't in the command, then. Maybe I should flee to the back lines, where I will be safe and sound and pliant, just as you want me to be. Maybe then my presence will finally stop distracting you! Go to hell, Eönwë. I don't need you here."
It stings, a little bit more than Eönwë is ready to admit. He takes a breath, counts to ten.
Minutes trickle by in a tense silence. Arafinwë picks up his armor and lays it into one pile in the corner; his lips are pursed. Eönw clenches his knuckles.
Finally, he speaks. "I thought about your words," he says coldly. Finarfin's face flares again, and he almost opens his mouth in a heated response; Eönwë glares, and Finarfin growls. "I do not think what I did was wrong."
"For the love of-"
"Shut up," Eönwë snaps, "and let me finish. I do not think I was wrong, but I also do not thing you are not capable - to fight, or to lead. That I want to be clear." He shakes his head. "You are capable of both, and brilliant in both, but it does not mean I would not interfere to stop a foe's sword from piercing your body, or to speak up if I think your plans have weak points. I value you, and, unfortunately, I happen to care for you, love it or not. And I do not want you to be reckless."
"You cannot tell me what to do."
"I cannot," Eönwë agrees, "but if it's your life on the line, I would do anything to perserve it. Even if it means following you to the gates of hell. Here! I care about you; and if that is not reason enough for you, I am sorry. But I will not stop."
"Then to the gates of hell we shall go," Arafinwë answers coldly. "Now leave. I heard you, but I still can't look at you and feel straight; go away, for your presence is not a comfort to me, not now. Come tomorrow, and I shall speak; then, but not now."
Eönwë inclines his head. "Good night to you," he says. "May your injury not hurt greatly."
"May your mouth slip mute for the shortest of minutes," Arafinwë sighs, irritated, and Eönwë scoffs.
He turnes his back and leaves the tent. Arafinwë's eyes are cold on his back.
Well, if that is a gratitude for saving the Ñoldóran's skin, Eönwë shall do it again even then. He shakes his head and heads to his tent.

It's amazing how quickly you can make someone turn on your company by making a stupid and insulting move
Force me to go through the front door and scan my card when I have backdoor business that never needed a card before (what? ...I was going to somehow... sneak in and... purchase things with a borrowed card? ...which I totally can't do from the front door after scanning it?)
Or like... twitterify your layout right after your users give you a bunch of money just cause they like you, and then refuse to walk it back
...or all the other things companies do that just kinda piss people off and then they refuse to acknowledge maybe it sucks and is stupid cause "hey, the customers didn't leave"... yeah... yet
#legit; as small as it is it gives me a hint at the direction things will head and that costco will get more and more anti consumer#and I'm in minutes going from an 'I love costco; it's how I afford to eat; go get a cheap pizza'#to 'you know costco is kinda frustrating and annoying and I don't trust their ceo... I'm not sure if it's worth your time and money'#like look back and; tumblr search willing; you'll find posts of me singing costco's praises; literal free advertising#cause while it's not right for everyone; man is it so much cheaper than places like walmart#but... I legit don't know if I can recommend it anymore#for one thing; when I signed up I just spotted the members desk; walked in the backdoor up to the desk; and gave them money#now... what? you gotta ask permission? I feel like there's a chilling effect on wanting to join... at least for my socially anxious ass#and again; I just whiff this as like when games companies add DRM that breaks the game... for people who actually pay for it#they're making me suffer a pain in the ass for no reason cause someone might not be giving them money#and now that person never will give them money... and frankly... if they don't pay the membership but spend $500 how much did you lose?#but like I said; I feel it in the air; that costco will start doing more and more anti consumer stuff#...do I think it's a good idea to join up when they're gonna slowly start turning this corner?#I mentioned that quote by the founder about killing them if they raise the price of the hotdog#but... the fact the founder felt the need to say that to begin with told me something#kinda gotten the impression that the ceo is greedy as hell and wants to drain the consumer (so... a normal ceo)#and this just smacks of netflix/disney#oh... did you hear about disney killing someone with a food allergy despite being told about it multiple times like when the dish arrived?#and now disney is trying to forced arbitrate cause they had a disney+ trial in 2019#you hear about that one? cause that's a real news story; I'll find you an article if you don't believe it#anyway; this smacks of cracking down on password sharing to make up for hypothetical lost revenue#and let me tell you... if I could switch to pirating my groceries I would; I would download eggs#so this doesn't change costco fundamentally; but it does make it feel more hostile and like it doesn't trust me#it makes things feel more adversarial instead of like a partnership where they get me good prices on good things and I give money#and I just wouldn't be surprised if they start doing more things I don't like#things that make things worse... things like raising prices to increase their profit#...makes me want to... work on figuring out how to make everything myself since no company is trustworthy#they'll all turn on you in the end; the moment the wrong person takes charge they'll start to metastasis#towards the cancer of infinite profits#not saying don't go to costco... I'm saying don't get attached if you do; I think they're ready to do what every company does these days

Revenant is soooo mid which is disappointing because I was looking forward to it due to the actors and writer (this isn’t a flop like Jirisan, which I gave up on after 2–3 episodes, but it’s not really good). BUT. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m suffering from “poor little meow meow middle-aged man” deficiency and Professor Yeom Haesang suffers so much. I can’t believe I was like “Oh...okay” about his casting because I’m planting my palms against his windows, peering at him in his little cage and being fed because he’s had the worst life ever and it keeps getting worse. HAESANG *____*<3
#why are we not talking about him more on reddit/twitter/tumblr and why are there not enough gifs and pics of him breaking down#or looking slutty in his all black ensembles complete with a turtleneck#watch as this man's life continues to deteriorate! ep. 7 and 8 provided such rich sustenance for me#a simp for ajusshideul who are miserable#he's so small and sad and he can't catch a break#yeah okay hongsae is great too and he's a cutie but LOOK AT THIS 40-YEAR-OLD MAN!#technically i wouldn't even count that as MIDDLE age middle-aged but his actor is 46 so whatever#in all seriousness revenant exasperates me a little because you can see how it can be good#especially because there's a frame of reference to base that hypothesis on: signal. lol.#signal wasn't without its flaws but the characters and relationships actually had development and the main partnerships were intense#and the tension was high throughout#revenant is the same thing every episode pretty much#the first three episodes were pretty to really good and i loved the setup#and you have kim taeri hong kyung and oh jungsae and they're great actors#but the directing and writing aren't serving them well and you can see the drop in quality from the beginning to now tbh#there's only so much they can do if they're not being given enough from both#though the little bits that are good are the reason i'm sticking around to the end lol. that and haesang i'm going to be real#like haesang and sanyoung's relationship needed to be parallel soohyun and haeyoung's in a way in terms of how much#they grow to rely on each other and care for each other but we don't really get that

So much time has passed and I still think about the scene where Takemichi said Chifuyu was the best friend he ever had, but Chifuyu didn't say the same about Takemichi.
Takemichi's words really meant a lot to Chifuyu, it's obvious how much it made him emotional. After all, Takemichi and Chifuyu really are best friends.
But I'm sure at that moment Chifuyu thought of Baji, the best friend he'd ever had. And it was the thought of Keisuke who died that made Chifuyu unable to say the words "You too are the best friend I've ever had" to Takemichi.
Because he will always think that Baji, who changed his life, is that friend.
#however i still think chifuyu and takemichi's friendship is the best#from the very beginning it was built on partnership#and chifuyu treated baji a bit like his idol so their relationship was not on an equal level#that's why this scene hurts me so much#best friends#best partners#chifuyu best boy#chifuyu matsuno#hanagaki takemichi#baji keisuke#tokyo revengers#tokyo rev#tokyo revengers: seiya kessen-hen

mash characters as taylor swift albums:
trapper: 1989; immaculate vibes, party central, city boy, tough act to follow
klinger: fearless; “in my best dress/ fearless” (enough said), unhinged, talks about home/family a lot (i.e. fifteen, the best day)
margaret: reputation; tough on the outside but secretly soft, bad bitch, donald penobscott was her getaway car
potter: debut; horse girl
radar: speak now; all about coming of age/loss of innocence, both are country™️, hawkeye looks at radar and “never grow up” just plays on a hoop in his head
winchester: evermore; so much older and wiser and I-, but both are intellectuals and value alone time
bj: midnights; just unhinged as hell, bj definitely feels like everybody is a sexy baby and he’s a monster on the hill, he is the mastermind, sweet nothing feels very him and peggy
sidney: lover; this album has its shit together and so does sidney, also he’s such a cinnamon roll, he deserves this
and finally, I saved the best for last…
hawkeye: double feature of red and folklore; yes he gets two albums- I’ll break it down
red: early seasons hawkeye, he’s happy free confused and lonely at the same time, but both the album and hawkeye are concerned with the passage of time, both experience a wide range of emotions, and both have a deeply ingrained sense of what should be (and it’s a deeply ingrained sense that’s being tested), and they’re both rebellious in nature
(if you are so inclined “the last time” is him saying goodbye to trapper and “begin again” is him meeting bj)
folklore: later seasons hawkeye, concerned again with the passing of time but this time in reference to childhood vs. where they find themselves now, both want to go home but can’t, both are concerned with a need to perform for others despite hawkeye’s shattered edges glistening, both are concerned with the idea of “madness” and what it means to be labeled as “mad”, also “they told me all of my cages were mental so I got wasted like all my potential and my words shoot to kill when I'm mad I have a lot of regrets about that I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere fell behind on my classmates, and I ended up here”
#mash#i have a lot of thoughts about hawkeye pierce#hawkeye pierce#bj hunnicutt#trapper john mcintyre#radar o'reilly#maxwell klinger#sidney freedman#i don’t even particularly ship trapper/hawk or bj/hawk#but i support yall#i do however agree with whoever said that hawkeye and bj’s relationship is like the section of auden’s “the sea & the mirror”#that begins#“now that our partnership is dissolved I feel so peculiar…”

I don’t often see it get talked about much these days (maybe I’m wrong, IDK, it’s just that other fans I’ve talked to don’t know/don’t recall), but the Grimm storyline from Legends of the Dark Knight had a pretty memorable portrayal of Bruce, Dick, and guilt.
If you’re not familiar with this, Grimm was a five-issue arc in Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight (#149–153) which took place during the maiden year of Dick’s term as Robin. It was written by J.M. DeMatteis with art by Trevor Von Eden and José Luis García-López.
Basically, Dick follows a pickpocket named Wendi into the subterranean “children’s paradise” of Mother Grimm, a deceptively jovial villain who lures wayward children there. The plot and writing honestly gets a bit convoluted towards the end, but commits and resolves satisfactorily. All you really need for context here out is Mother Grimm.
(All images henceforth are described in ALT text.)
I’m specifically talking about issue #151, or Part 3 of the arc. At this point, Dick had become entranced by the temptation of Mother Grimm’s world like the other children had, and when Batman came to take him back, Dick refused to go along. It was then that Mother Grimm gave Batman some vivid hallucinations (where he’s reverted to the form of a child) that stirred up some morbid, subconscious thoughts.
Already we get hit on the nose with the question, “Why’d you bring a little boy into the Batman’s warped world?” Because it’s this very notion that makes up the foundation of why Bruce found a connection with Dick in the first place during their early years together.
The following panels then posit a pretty disturbing frame of reasoning. And also keep in mind that Dick is the one recounting and narrating what Bruce told him of the ordeal, which Bruce had chosen to disclose years later. It illustrates a subconscious fear that Bruce has: that he had only taken Dick in and raised him into vigilantism for the sole purpose of compensating for what he (in his mind) had failed to do: die with his parents.
I cut off the lower panels, but it’s necessary for you to know (if you’ve never read this) that it’s Batman who saves young Bruce from the fall, and wakes him.
So he breaks free of the hallucination, but some pages later Bruce is exposed once again to the mind-altering chemicals of Mother Grimm, and this time he’s seeing himself as a child alongside Dick and a vision of the scenes of their respective parents’ deaths, had they both died alongside them.
He has a bit of a reckoning in this moment, saying to both Dick and his child self that he’s trying in his own way to help them, to prevent the fate of death from coming to them as it did their parents, that they do not also have to die.
But HOLD IT! There are some serious layers to this onion. After all, as Dick is the one narrating, he admits that Bruce didn’t really tell Dick what exactly he saw in this particular moment, but could reasonably guess (and he’s most likely correct, which is a testament to the fact of how deeply Dick knows Bruce). But that means this is also a reflection of Dick’s psyche, which develops in relation to Bruce’s because of the similarities of their traumas.
This simultaneously accomplishes the following:
Dick coming to terms with his own survivor’s guilt by using Bruce as a mirror.
Dick comes to a better understanding of why Bruce let him become a part of Batman’s world.
It means a lot more when you consider how Dick is recalling this whole story as an adult. How within that time, experiences like this one would have marinated.
Bruce found purpose and control in his grief, at a much greater capacity and intensity than what the average person might, thus creating the persona of the Batman as a way of avoiding and eliminating that feeling of helplessness. He extended that to Dick, who he essentially latched onto as a companion who knew what that helplessness was like.
Any psychological analysis of Batman (and Dick Grayson) would need an entire separate post, so this is where I’ll end it. When I first read Grimm a long time ago, I was especially stricken by the implication of Bruce believing that he was using Dick as both punishment for himself and compensation for living on while his parents were dead. It was nice for both Dick and Bruce to have that affirmation where their relationship was ultimately one born from compassion.
(Of course, as the years have passed, their relationship has taken on new strains, but it’s all the more tragic when remembering where they began.)
#dick grayson#batman#bruce wayne#robin#dc#dc comics#it’s an angle that’s been explored in other stuff#but i felt that this story was able to get the necessary messages across#without spending too much time on it#bruce’s and dick’s relationship in all of its complexities breaks my heart#and when you see how much they’ve changed since the beginning of their partnership#that’s when you understand the vicious cycle#on dick’s part it’s both salvation and condemnation#they are a part of each other and always will be#for better or for worse
