Feel like I need to defend the people being upset about the non existent Agatha/Rio just a little bit and maybe that's because I'm also a lesbian who really likes them but I feel like the hate towards lesbians is a bit uncalled for or excessive like. Obviously homophobia or just full on blatantly hating on Billy as a character is shitty and I'm not defending that. But the way some people talk about this like "ugh can these annoying lesbians just shut up already?? How dare they be scared that this show might take a turn and take focus away from the sapphic couple?" Cause like that's what it is. Sapphic people are scared or upset about the possibility of the focus being taken off of Agatha and Rio and their relationship completely now that they have introduced a character that is important and will continue to appear in other Marvel media. Because good sapphic representation has been taken away too early or messed with a lot already. I think that if in the next episodes there are more Rio and Agatha scenes and important moments and just relationship stuff then most sapphic people who are complaining right now are gonna be totally okay with Billy's story. But right now we just can't know for certain.

Also I just have to say I see way more people hating on lesbians right now than I see lesbians being outright homophobic in the tag...

Warframes now have so much concept and detail that they feel less like an avatar of death and more like an anime character that's about to break your legs.

this has been said before and i def dont mean it in a mean way but it’s really funny how theyve had to narrow down warframe designs and themes now that theres over fifty of them. early on they were like. this is sword guy. this is fire girl. this is ice guy. now theyre like this is brutalist nuclear reactor guy. this is shrine maiden gambler doll girl. this is sailor mercury with a hoverboard fish

difference between hilson and huddy is that in s8e8 house hands wilson a gun telling him that it’s fake and that wilson should shoot him to prove it but. it isn’t fake. house just knew wilson would never do that. he trusted him with his life. cuddy would have shot him

I'm falling back into X-men: First Class stuff again thanks to the Deadpool x Wolverine movie and I had kind of forgotten how much I love the very specific dynamic of the Erik x Charles relationship where I watch Erik do some borderline supervillain stuff going "fuck yeah! Good for you!" and then watch Charles ream into Erik calling him out for said behaviour and/or the shit Erik has done to him personally going "fuck yeah! Good for you!"

Original X-men movie dynamics is much more the (normal) dynamic of wanting them to set aside their differences and find a way to progress their cause together. But First Class is all about the anger behind their actions being completely justified but also oh so very entertainingly messy.

Every SandRay Scene (56 ¦ ??) 

N: ["I headed back to town. I didn't want to interrupt your love. Don't waste the romantic scenery."] ... R: "So Nick went back because of me?" S: "Glad you realised that." R: "I am thick-skinned. I don't care." S: "Tell me, Ray. Doesn't Mew know about us?" R: "He does. Just not the whole story." S: "What did he say?" R: "He doesn't know we're still sleeping together." S: "So I'm your secret lover. I feel bad for Mew. He was fooled by Top. And he's fooled by you. How about we stop this?" R: "Come on, Sand. You're not my secret lover. You're an important person to me too. Don't think too much." S: "Can you stop saying things like that? I'm not just stuff you have in your possession. I have feelings. Treat me nicer. Screw it. I'll just be honest here. I admit it. I like you. And I like you so much. I'm jealous of you and Mew but I can't do anything, can I? I'm saying this not because I want you to break up with Mew or anything. I just don't want to be anyone's option. And don't you feel pity for me. I can deal with my own feelings." R: "Thanks for being honest. I like you too. But Mew is important to me. It's not easy for me to get over him." S: "It's up to you. I won't put pressure on you. But if I find someone with no conditions, I'm ready to go. I will not wait for you. Come on."

Okay I do want to watch another episode tonight instead of just back-tracking to watch stuff from earlier episodes over and over and roll around in my feelings and yell about them at my partner

BUT (this is from Corridors)

Yeah yeah Horde Prime is evil and the actual villain of the series but the fact is: he could read Catra's reactions to things. ("Elevated heart rate, dilated pupils. Adora means something to you.") And while obviously he sees affection/love/etc as bad things, he still nevertheless tells Catra (more than once) to her FACE that she still has feelings for Adora.

And yeah the feelings are often a mixed-up mess of envy and resentment, which comes out of Catra as anger and a need for revenge, and which Horde Prime accurately interprets as very painful for Catra--none of those feelings would be as strong without the love and grief under it all and causing so much of it.

It's a cliche but it's true: the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. And Catra might feel many things for Adora but indifferent is not one of them.

And it's just SO TELLING that after Horde Prime's next line: "Don't you want to be free of it?" Catra doesn't think "ha ha yeah that would be a relief lol"

She bristles and gets angry.

And then looks terrified

And YEAH obviously some of it is a logical reaction to being threatened with joining the hive mind.

But also she doesn't actually want to be freed from her feelings for Adora. And I don't know if she even knew it until that moment.

is that actually poor reading comprehension? or is somebody just disagreeing and you've learned that if you respond with "lol my enemies can't even read" then ur ingroup likes you?

Dear silm fandom, concerning Fandom meta. Might be provocative for some.

‘The silm fandom is misogynistic’ ‘Feanorian fans are misunderstanding the characters’ ‘Silm fans hate Elwing’ And so on.

Can we stop? Your opinions are not better if you like feanorians. Your opinions are not better if you like peredhil. This is not black and white. I won’t argue ‘not all silm fans’, because I recognise that we have problems. But condescension will not fix them. Thank you.

No but genuinely, how does Sun even get drunk... Like, is there some magic he's had this entire time that allows him to process alcohol in the same way as humans? Are nanomachines somehow susceptible to it??? Like I am truly wholly tryna figure something out for this because if robots really don't get effected by alcohol, then Sun's drinking really isn't a problem for the alcoholism reasons.

It might be a problem for like, maintenance reasons though. I don't think wine is particularly dangerous to robotic parts in any way—just as dangerous as water or soda or many other liquids—but if some of it isn't fully "processed" then it's probably gunking some stuff up internally. Maybe not to a fatal degree, but still to an annoying degree.

Idk just kinda thinkin' out loud. I think drinking headcanons are entertaining but they're really something that makes you go "yeah there's no way this could happen, I'm just bullshitting for fun" lmao 😭

sometimes I think the perception and understanding of rika's character would've ironically been better if cheritz didn't try to force you to be sympathetic for her.

like judge or forgive should've both explored the consequences of either hospitalization or imprisonment for rika and not just "GOOD END" "BAD END" cause forcing you to forgive her downplays all of her actions with the mint eye, and from a character perspective I think it lessens her impact and will on the story y'know, if you constantly undermine the antagonists actions what's the point of them being in the story, yeah??

Idk how to say it, but it's like forcing you to forgive her takes away the meaning of forgiveness!! It makes the trauma she's suffered and, in response, inflicted on others seem trivial if it can be washed away with an apology and I-forgive-yous

It also hurts the development of V and Saeran immensely cause treating Rika with kid gloves also has the effect of treating them poorly in turn when they have both been heavily affected and traumatized by her actions

Okay I’m thriving on all the Marie/Jordan posting, it is absolutely deserved, they’re amazing together, but I wish there was a little more love for Emma/Sam too because “I don’t remember you, but I do believe you” fucking broke me.

Imagine you’ve spent years questioning reality, surrounded by people who constantly remind you that you can’t believe your own eyes. You finally meet someone outside of that group and you’re convinced she’s a hallucination, except she passes your test, and she’s sweet, and she laughs at your jokes even though you have a really off-beat sense of humor, and she matches it, and you love her like you’ve never loved anyone. And she promises to stay with you after everyone else you’ve ever loved has abandoned you, whether intentionally or not. And then you start to freak out and you know your scaring her, because she’s seen you rip people apart with your bare hands, but she’s not running. She’s not even trying to make you calm down or be rational or stop. Instead she asks “How can I help you?” She wants to help you. And you run. And she saves you. She stops you from doing something you’ll regret. She’s the first one who’s done that without violating your mind.

And then she loses all her memories of you. She looks at you without an ounce of recognition, and you think you’ve lost her, even if you swear to get her her memories back. And you’re alone again, and you’re hallucinating. You’re hallucinating her. You can’t trust reality. You can’t trust yourself. You can’t believe what you see or hear or touch. Then she comes back again, but this time she’s real and you ask if she remembers you and she says no. “I don’t remember you, but I do believe you.”

I can’t even, okay, I’m losing my mind over here.

Aegon wasn't a rapist in Fire and Blood. Stupid producer/writer Sarah Hess only made Aegon so vile on the show because her woke feminist ideal of having Rhaenerya girl boss be a "saint" and be so pristine so that viewers had to like Rhaenerya instead of having actual fleshed out characters on both sides for the show.

Aegon's predatory behavior toward serving girls is straight from the book. As for the intent in the show's portrayal, Sara Hess and Clare Kilner have both spoken about believing Aegon to still be deserving of sympathy despite being a rapist; Sara Hess even more disturbingly talks about "upstanding men" who've committed sexual assault without having knowing it and tries to paint Aegon as not knowing what he was doing. So I'm not sure where you came up with this idea that Aegon was only portrayed as a rapist to push an agenda, but it's certainly not anything from the writers themselves. It seems like you're just upset that the Greens, despite their whitewashing, are being portrayed as the antagonists that they are. The Greens usurped Rhaenrya for being a woman. The writers can add more depth to their characters and give them other motivations, but there's only so much that can do when that's the main point of the entire show. It's not very surprising that the majority of the audience is aware of that and sides with Rhaenrya because of it.
