Rotating Etho's choice to protect his allies in my mind. Obviously they made incredible escapes and held their own but Etho also refusing to sell out Cleo and Grian meant that nearly everyone else died, some died multiple times, most lost additional hearts, hurt alliances (Scott: Gem has no band loyalty!), and did not gain something like 120 hearts total
Meanwhile, Cleo and Grian get to feel secure in their alliance, not go red, and actually finish their tasks. The playing field has obviously been levelled significantly and they still suffered, but Etho facilitated his alliance gaining the most where everyone else lost the most
Obviously it's a display his loyalty first and foremost but he also played the game, ran the numbers, and counted himself out of success knowing it would be diminishing returns to go after them and I just think that's neat
#i dont know how itll play socially with the rest of the server but it was cool#skizz hunting tango and saying he wants him back#tango saying hes not afraid to end him#gem attacking scott and him recognising it as a betrayal#bdubs peeling off to talk to martyn about being a big dog#its great content and its easy to get swept up in the task and i dont fault anyone for the choices they made#but etho took a step back and said actually who does this help? me? at the cost of my alliance?#grian who begged for friends and cleo who has made no secret about how much loyalty matters to her#eoughjjj#secret life spoilers#trafficblr#ethoslab#sorry for ethoposting#also just to reiterate hes not solely responsible for the collective failure or protecting his allies#he could have reasonably assumed that scott series winner smajor would have escaped and it would be a lost cause regardless#and cleo enderpearld all over the server and grian invis pot from his tower they did a lot

we've both talked about how scully isn't jealous fire. what differences do you see between protective scully vs jealous scully?
yeah to me the main difference is that one is more external and the other internal. she gets very emotional when sheās jealous. in episodes like alpha (literally sitting that woman down and going āiām watching you.ā cracks me tf up. Dana nobody is taking your man.) and war of the coprophages, itās kind of angry. itās louder, but still something very vulnerable and true to her (hater-ism). in episodes like the end, itās heartbreak. thatās one of the very few episodes where i think she was purely jealous, and sad. she usually understands whatās going on and i think she knew as soon as she heard him call diana by her first name that something was going to change. i think it hurt her feelings, that specific display of connection, usually reserved for her.
when sheās jealous she retreats. she watches quietly. she cries alone in her car. she needs a moment to herself.
itās when sheās protective that you canāt shake her for anything. one of my favorite images in fire is her standing in the doorway while mulder and phoebe meet with the arson specialist. i didnāt even notice she was there the first time i saw it. she wasnāt invited. sheās just keeping watch. later, sheās standing in the hallway. after that, sheās in his hotel room, and doesnāt leave when phoebe comes in. says āare you okay?ā the moment theyāre alone.
people write off her behavior in this one as being ājealousā because she has a lil crush and thereās another woman there, but i honestly find that dismissive. sometimes people discuss scully through such a wide lens, not taking into account who she is. sheās really surprised throughout the time that phoebe was there. itās that soft edge that still shocks to cruelty, that she never really loses. itās what shocks in the pilot when the doctor hits mulder twice. what shocks in the following episode when the government agents punch him on the side of the road. (look at you youāve radicalized scully). itās what makes her wary of jerry lamana, even before he stole mulderās work.
but phoebe is so cruel, and so personal, and has so much history. itās not jealousy that makes scully linger in doorways. itās not jealousy that spawns that folie a deux. no one else understands. no one else can be trusted. (which i do kind of think started in fire, iāve said before). she isnāt jealous that he startles when he hears this womanās voice.
and i know thatās a lot on phoebe as an example, but it doesnāt stop. she doesnāt stop keeping watch. she doesnāt stop shocking to cruelty. sheāll get loud. sheāll make plans. sheāll surprise herself. and it doesnāt come with jealousyās mortifying intimacy.
(donāt have much else to say but i found this from an old post of mine and wanted to share: āscully has that kind of protectiveness towards him that you have towards a child that hasn't been touched by the world yet. it's very 'the world is at least half terrible, though i keep this from my children.ā 'good bones' by maggie smith. scully in the beginning is like......there is something here that should have broken by now. and she wants to watch him be able to walk into every room with the most hopeful answer and a hand out to every stranger.ā)
she shares him with the world only reluctantly, Etc etc
#she wants people to be kind to him and it breaks her over and over#iām still not very With It but i wanted to talk about this for a sec#i do think scullyās protectiveness is a much larger topic#i think itās a huge source of harm for her#i think itās a constant failure to her#i think itās a endless cycle of wanting to absorb him whole or lock him up and shut the gate and then feeling bad. regretting it.#huge plot of iwtb / msi#it almost develops from that initial s1 jumpiness of just wanting people to not fucking beat him down#into knowing that everything does. everything will.#could they ever recover from her exiling him from being with their child because she was afraid it would kill him? i donāt know#the other thing that iāve been thinking about a lot with this is that sheās guarding something most people donāt see#this world is so cruel to him. itās insane to rewatch and see how carelessly people just want to see if they can shake him#and this world desperately wants to beat this kind of gentle vulnerability out of people#and it would be easier for scully if they did. she wouldnāt spend her days with a weeping wound. she wouldnāt be so anxious. so on guard#but she is unwaveringly dedicated to the much more difficult task of protecting something thatās very precious to her#i do think these qualities in her are extremely moving in that respect#and i love scullyās judgmental hater-ism#i just do also think it becomes a pathology for her in some ways#anyway those are some loose threads#asks#fire#āFor long hours on his couch that night#autopsy hands on his head#in his hair#she'd thought about what it would mean to hide him away.#Thought about what it would mean to steal and stash him like fairy treasure#to draw protective rings.ā#(audries āthroat eye and knuckleboneā)

house md liver-isms or as some people might also say: wilson wants to donate the remaining portion of his liver to house so bad
#liverisms tag#killing myself over people trying to diagnose house with hepatic encephalopathyā¦ when heās spent his entire life driving away romance and#love from his life because heās afraid of vulnerability and intimacy. he and cuddy have a specific episode dedicated to figuring out if they#can work as romantic partners without compromising his judgement because of his affection for her.#also the s7 tagline being love/sick. Iām so ill about that.#text#one day Iāll make a more detailed liverisms post but itās not this day because Iām tired and recovering from my exams lol#house md#(for the curious hepatic encephalopathy involves liver failure affecting the brain. in simple terms. but also remember that Iām equating#the heart with the liver etc.)

last post for the night i swear
the real tragic part about the whole science fair incident is that perpetual motion is impossible to achieve
fordās machine would have never worked, regardless of whether or not stan had interacted with it
(warning i accidentally wrote an approximately 30-tag dive into fordās character in the tags donāt click see more if you donāt want to read that)
anyway!! good night everyone ā¤ļøāš©¹
#itās also tragic because ford didnāt know#the impossibility of perpetual motion was discovered far before that point and yet he didnāt know#i mean. āheās actually just so arrogant that he thought he could break the laws of physicsā doesnāt make any sense#his reaction to the situation really didnāt match that interpretation as far as i can tell#i donāt think itās just a āoh no! my dream school (that i was essentially shoved into pursuing)!ā type deal#hereās what iām thinking:#fact one- stan and ford were seemingly already drifting apart by this point in time. this is important to note#fact two- itās really emphasized to him that heās smart. thatās all they say about him really- thatās heās a genius#fact three- filbrick does not even care enough about stanford to say his name. he calls ford his āticket out of this dumpā#these last two points were likely heavily emphasized to him throughout his childhood#filbrick found out ford was smart and thought stan wasnāt. so ford became his plan to make money#ford is heavily bullied for his weirdness. his hands and his interests. being smart could āmake upā for this in his mind#he wants to leave. he outright states this- he doesnāt feel like he belongs and he wants to go somewhere he does (his own bermuda triangle)#so what essentially happened- i believe- is that ford internalized all these things#that his weirdness is bad and that he makes up for it by being smart and that heās meant to make his family money-#-and that he wants out#his machine fails. this is a slap in the face to him. perpetual motion is impossible?#but why didnāt he know that? heās supposed to be smart isnāt he? if he isnāt smart then what the hell is he?#what redeeming qualities does he have? how is he supposed to help his family now? heās a failure isnāt he?#he spots a familiar bag. stan was here. suddenly he has an excuse- a reason to believe it wasnāt his fault#(and thereās really nothing to be at fault for but he doesnāt think that)#itās easier to blame it on stan because of how distant theyāve grown. he canāt read stan as easily#and his reaction is suspicious- did he actually sabotage the project? is itā¦actually not fordās fault at all?#they donāt speak to each other again for another decade#stan because heās afraid of rejection#ford because he doesnāt want to face his own insecurities and emotions about everything#itās easier to pretend that he wants to be famous and isnāt just doing it to make it his father money#and itās easier to distract himself with things he loves than to feel all the guilt and hurt and frustration#and that. is perfect for bill to use to manipulate him#thatās my thoughts anyway. sorry for the rant was not expecting that to happen

idk i still think luke's scar should've been worse
#like its the most noticeable thing about him it throws off his otherwise perfect golden boy image#it's a constant reminder of his failure on a quest that wasn't even uniquely his#he literally got his face clawed by a dragon why does it look so thin and faint#disney is so afraid of everything#still upset there was no hellhound so the water only healed knife cuts? medusa's head being invisible? every battle ending in .5 seconds?#what happened to being a demigod is scary and gets you killed in nasty painful ways rick

#figured out i am indeed faithful and i actually do want a happy and good life with who im with#oh and its possible to think about your partner in an extremely loving way instead of just be full of stress#and without being afraid every day that yknow.. theyll die from an overdose or drink themselves into some sort of failure#or worry about what i potentially did wrong at legitimately any given time#yknow.. you know... like a normal relationship i think . like one thats normal. im describing a normal relationship#did it matter how i was feeling during the whole godown... nope! not at all#oh well!#anyway i love sable and i cant think about being with anyone else but them because of how perfect they are for me šš#and how well they treat me . and more importantly how well we get along#its crazy that Getting Along now has to be something i notice in a relationship ššš#i dont regret anything at all btw. suck my dick

You know those rats in the studies where theyāre trapped and not given any way to get out while subjected to negative stimuli and they start feeling helpless. And then theyāre put in a situation where they actually have some power and can pull a lever or press a button but they still feel helpless and donāt even try.
Thatās me
#when your childhood of abuse and neglect continued into your mid-20āsā¦.#maybe this year when I turn fucking THIRTY Iāll finally feel like I can change things in my life?#maybe? idfkā¦.. never thought Iād get this far man#I always thought Iād kill myself before this#i donāt even know where to start. I donāt know HOW.#Iām still too afraid of doing the wrong thing#always paralyzed by fear. always sure that I will fail. that even success will feel like failure#decades of being told āthis will make you happyā and then doing it and not being happy. itās hard to trust my instincts#what is really what *I* want and what is what everyone else thinks I should want?#which voice in my head is mine and which is just parroting my mother? telling me Iām unwanted. that Iām weak and stupid and unreliable

saw this on the 'for you' tumblr tab and snatched it so u should all do it and tag me :D
#failure one marked as 'people being mad at me :(' bc that's what that means to her#i don't think she thinks about death enough to be afraid of it but you could argue the way she lives. she cannot be scared of dying#becoming paralyzed is very like. she doesn't think about it a lot but she is scared of being trapped in a sense#she's very 'hostage or not it's just nice to be held <3' kind of delusional but. there's. yeah. no words just trust she needs to frolic#š„ø ā *āāāāstudyāāāāā¦āāi will wade out ātil my thighs are steeped in burning flowers.

#their dynamic is soooo interesting#guy who finds failure more interesring than success x guy who is the biggest failure ever and hates himself for it#guy who craves emotional connection x guy who is afraid of being vulnerable with anyone#they can help each other heal you see#hbo succession#succession#succession hbo#romelukas#roman roy#lukas matsson

Hm. I might need help actually.
#maybe bottling all these feelings in no matter what to make it seem like I'm okay was a bad idea.#maybe being afraid of failure and pushing myself to the limit to make others (read: parents) proud is a bad thing.#(like it's not even for myself it's like āI just want it over with this.ā)#Maybe letting my parents dictate almost every aspect of my life and never speaking up about what I wanna do wasn't good#maybe crying over grades lower than a 70 isn't normal#maybe being a fulltime people pleaser isn't healthy#..... huh#like there have been many vents I would have posted but by the time I got to the end it's like. Who cares. It doesn't matter anyways.#and then it's back to shoving that under the rug for lĢ¶aĢ¶tĢ¶eĢ¶rĢ¶ never.#.... goddammit.#I'm fine. just.#god. what have i been doing with my life.
