I have a strange relationship with James T. Kirk where I utterly adore him but when I meet someone else who feels similarly I'm suspicious of them.
Like, are you fond of this man because he's a drama king who's totally ride or die for Spock, McCoy, and his crew? Or are your thoughts more along the lines of "Kirk is brilliant and the best captain and can do no wrong"?
#star trek#star trek tos#listen I love kirk and he IS smart#and he IS good at his job in many ways#but in some ways he isn't#sometimes he prioritizes his friends more than the rest of his crew#sometimes he makes choices out of passion that aren't in his crew's best interest#sometimes when the going gets tough he snaps at his friends and crew to demand solutions when he himself has no answers#sometimes he takes his own beliefs and applies them to alien cultures when he doesn't have the right to#sometimes he's snarky towards authority figures#all of these things make him an interesting character#but they also make him imperfect#and so I get uncomfortable with the narrative I encounter sometimes#that kirk is an oh-so-perfect strategist and diplomat and captain#(often with the implication being that he's better than the other captains in later star trek)#when... no#they're all different and they're all flawed#kirk isn't perfect just because he's first

forever obsessed with dynamics between vampires, specifically that of a maker and fledgling, as a way to explore abuse. the creation of a vampire itself can so easily be a literalization of the lasting impacts of trauma and also much more simply the ways a perpetrator might shape their victim’s very identity. the extremes of isolation in the way that the new vampire, in most narratives, must cut all ties to their mortal life, or else go through an elaborate charade to maintain the facade of humanity, while forever still being removed from it. and the sheer dependence and vulnerability of being in an entirely new state of being, wholly uncertain of what it entails, and relying on another person to define… everything.
#or just the moral dilemmas#rewatching amc interview is kind of making me insane#that moment in episode two when louis is looking for a sort of assurance in the fact that lestat may actually have some good in him#look at how he cares about music look at the simple wondrous things that can bring him joy#and then the immediate dread when the opera performance turns out to be imperfect because he knows how lestat will react to *that*#I think there’s also something really interesting in the highlighting of lestat upbraids the less skilled singer before killing him#(slowly)#but also I will wait to watch more before I articulate my thoughts#vampires#interview with the vampire#amc interview with the vampire#i ramble sometimes#I do still find the lestat and claudia film and novel dynamic by far the most compelling for how she tries to usurp him but almost to be him#but I’m enjoying this#I’m very curious if I will like show claudia more on rewatch#the movie always resonated most with me (sue me lol) because there seemed to be more simultaneous fondness and attachment even at the end

it's hell on earth to be heavenly them's the breaks, they don't come gently
#daniel ricciardo#dr3#went on a hike the sunday after the official announcement and listened to this song on repeat for probably 3 of the 8 miles#POV: me in the middle of the woods telling myself to get it together#while crying about a 35 year old millionaire before I end up passing someone on the trail and they call the police on me#so song is about how female stars are treated overtime and when they first arrive they're praised for being authentic and refreshin#but once the shine wears off and they're a little older and reveal imperfections or they struggle they become a target for ridicule#and then they're discarded for the next new thing in town and the cycle keeps repeating itself forever#which to me so closely mirrors daniel's trajectory in F1 in the eyes of the media#but also when you take the lyrics at face value they are just so daniel...#the f1 ecosystem and more specifically the redbull “family” are fake as hell#and yet daniel is one of their most genuine products who actually can't be easily reproduced (but by god they'll try)#he showed a great deal of promise despite coming from a place that really never should've produced a successful f1 driver#because the cards were stacked against him and nobody really thought he would make it#but he did and he gave us 13 brilliant years (and he has SO much more to give and do and succeed at and he will)#but the wheel of time keeps spinning and the cycle continues for the next shiny new toy that they can nurture and then destroy#anyway i'm not totally in love with these gifs but I need to be done w/them and I had to exorcise this demon that was making me sad

*Skitters up to you on all fours and drops this in your lap, then scrambles up the walls and onto the ceiling and immediately falls asleep*
Comic time! Lucky wakes up in the middle of the night and has a chat with Sen in this one.
#ah yes. the struggle of seeing yourself as a machine incapable of truly having an emotional connection with others#no matter how deeply you long for such things#whilst simultaneously seeing that deep longing within you as a mistake. a flaw. an imperfection#you were made to be absolute and impartial#to be biased in favor of your charges beyond that which your ‘programming’ dictates is shameful#you are broken. you are flawed. you want and you want and you want and you’ve never stopped /wanting./#you aren’t supposed to worry or care or love. you weren’t made for it.#and if you were not made for it then you simply cannot worry or care or love.#these /things/ that haunt you and make you inefficient are not emotions.#they are your imperfections; flaws in your make; symbols of your failures to live up to your purpose#you are broken. you are flawed. and you want so deeply that you can scarcely keep the longing inside you#such a failure you are; to not only survive the fall of the metropolis you were built to give your life to defend#but also to stoop to and revel in such indulgent imperfections as these false emotions the moment your makers are gone to dust#Fun Fact! Sen doesn’t require sleep#and spends every evening standing outside of Sharpedo Bluff / whatever campsite the gang have set up to guard the entrance.#she doesn't stay inside at night because it wasn't something done in the metropolis she hails from.#sentries are meant to watch over their charges. they are not meant to indulge in the pleasant and dry warmth of their homes.#Kip hears about this eventually (he thought it was just Sen not trusting people enough to sleep around them) and FLIPS OUT#“PLEASE would you come inside IT'S LITERALLY HAILING”#Sen is taking so much hail damage and has the gall to look at him and say “You should return to your home. the weather is unfavorable”#Kip just screams into his hands because he might have found someone even worse at self-care than Twig#And with that#it is beddy-bye time for Sofie :)#the present is a gift au#pmd oc#pmd ocs#pokemon mystery dungeon#pokémon mystery dungeon#pmd explorers#pmd eos

fellas we're once again wrestling with imperfect vs. perfect contrition and why imperfect contrition with a firm resolution to not sin again and promptly receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation doesn't save
#I get that it doesn't but !!!! I don't like it and I think its bad and I'm mad at God#it's definitely not because I only have imperfect contrition and get afraid to die#but like if its a gift from God#so much more of a gift perfect contrition is#but if cooperating with grace only results in imperfect contrition#why is it still damnable#his ways higher than my ways i know the line#this didnt save my other tags ahh!!!#but take this example from movie recently#man is a lapsed catholic#hes murdered people etc. very many grave sins#he has a terrifying near death experience and in the hospital asks to have a Priest come#because he wants to confess his sins#he ends up being denied one and murdered himself#to me (vibes) hes motivated by genuine belief and fear (imperfect) but hes also made#TANGIBLE STEPS to try and receive the Sacrament#he clearly wants to be reconciled and is trying#and the most we can hope for him is the same extraordinary salvation we hope a muslim has or an atheist?#intuitively that seems wrong idk#also moots i just realized this might be scandalous etc. I'm trying to religious submission of mind and will#pls tell me if i ought to delete and i will#also tbf on some level I would get the extraordinary salvation is all we can hope for bc of the efficacy of the Sacraments#EXCEPT for baptism by desire#and specifically the fact that motivation to be baptized does not come into consideration#you die before you can be baptized when you've expressed a desire and are trying to be baptized?#saved. no questions asked.#thats what makes this tough for me

“Wille has gone through so fucking much from his shitty, neglectful, psychologically abusive parents, the death of Erik, the betrayal of August, his and Simon’s relationship issues, his mother becoming sick, finding out Erik was a homophobe, and so fucking much more, and he’s just a kid whose only support are his one friend and his boyfriend who are facing their own problems and nobody can blame him for not knowing how to deal with his emotions and having breakdowns” and “Wille is extremely flawed (as are everyone in this show) and never having been taught how how to deal with his emotions and problems in a healthy way and having little to no support system doesn’t change or excuse the fact that he constantly projects onto Simon, has internalised the mindset that Simon’s problems are far lesser than him, often behaves inconsiderate towards him and doesn’t listen or listen to Simon when he tries to talk to him and these are things he will need to work on, especially if he wants to keep a relationship with Simon” are not mutually exclusive statements
#i fucking love wille#he’s such a well-written character#one of my fave characters of all-time definitely#but when you try to constantly make excuses for him and reduce him to a baby with anxiety#then you do SUCH a disservice to his character#let imperfect victims exist!!!!#let realistic victims who are hurt and hurt others both intentionally and unintentionally!!!#i want to see wille grow as a person to go on the journey of healing even if it hurts and is messy#i remember when wille was oblivious to simon’s song about him#and it was a sweet oblivious wille scene but edvin also points out this is wille having been so wrapped up in his problems#that he doesn’t realise others (esp simon)#and now saying that wille often projects his anxiety onto simon#young royals#prince wilhelm#yr s3 spoilers#young royals season 3#wilmon#simon eriksson

Can we talk about how fcked up Charles can be sometimes? Can we talk about how Charles can sometimes be actually scary as a person? Like he can legit be nefarious sometimes, but those moments are not as talked about as Erik's warcrimes (aside from the holocaust visions from TAS)
girlfriend i promise we're all very aware about how wack charles xavier can be and i assure you his nefarious moments are talked plenty from what i run into. like outside of this inbox most times you breathe charles' name to someone they'll be prepared to start swinging
#snap chats#its kinda funny tho. like out of all the charas ive fave'd over the years its funny how charles incites the most violence#and i get it i aint sayin it unfounded !!! just funny alright i stand with my problematic wife and all his wrongdoings. sometimes.#six decades of writers and writing decisions will lead to a lot of Girl What decisions#like marvel ruins. where charles is president. sorry girls im bringing it up if we wanna talk bout Fucked Up Charles#i mean those issues arent really. good. not just cause its grotesquely dark I Can Enjoy Dark And Gruesome Themes#the art's also hauntingly beautiful to look at its sad it's attached to such a nothing series. theres no real story ..#like i doint MIND dark or morally-dubious charles im a fan of it even when its done right or interesting#but thats where marvel ruins fumbles It Doesnt Do Anything Interesting with a morally corrupt charles#it just goes 'yeah hes fucked up and does terrible things now' like ok and .......... wheres the rest of the sauce ...#a less Gruesomely Fucked decision comparatively charles did was plant a virus on david because he didnt trust him Not to fuck things up#he regrets it like five seconds later after he realized How Fucked Up That Was but still ... charles ... im going to chokeslam you...#back to the main topic tho. its very funny because charles be catching strays on xmen twitter too#and i mean The Sincerest Of Strays tho i guess if you try Any xmen topic can go back to charles#but the post'll be bout an entirely different bloke or lass and theyll be wishing ill will on cue ball like girl he aint even HERE#anyway. yeah charles' imperfections is what makes him really interesting. to me. thank you#now for my next post to be an awkward juxtaposition to this one unless someone ones to throw in an ask last minute#and i mean very last minute i think i have all the tags typed up ont he other one vjeLKEJA

If I say Ford should be allowed to exist as an imperfect victim of abuse without being shamed for falling for that abuse while also being allowed to be viewed as an ass at points, will the fandom flay me alive on both sides?
#Hayley Speaks#HE'S BOTH OKAY. HE CAN BE BOTH.#How are you going to say he's an imperfect victim and then ignore the imperfect part#Everybody in the show is an ass at points; he is no exception#'HE'S NEURODIVERGENT' And? He can still be an ass. Do you think neurodivergent people can't be an ass at points?#But!! Him being a bit of an ass isn't an excuse for the abuse he suffered#I dunno; I keep seeing people veer way too far to defend him and end up erasing elements of him that make him actually interesting#Anyway I am NOT making this rebloggable because the fandom scares me#This is also not a Ford hate post; we don't do that here#I just think he's more interesting when we don't ignore certain elements of his character for the sake of defending him#Kind of like Stan!#He's an ass! And I love that! I hate seeing people erase that; especially as of late for the sake of shipping him with a CERTAIN someone#And now I've gotta stop before I start getting annoyed with the sudden boom of F/ddlestan shippers who don't understand his character

I didn't know it was a controversial opinion to say that the jedi council should not have let qui-gon jinn take a nine-year-old child into a warzone until I posted as such a few days ago. like. that's child endangerment. child endangerment is bad. qui-gon jinn should not have taken him into a war zone, and both he and the jedi council are at fault for that.
the jedi council had the power to stop him; they simply did not care, and at the heart of it that is the fundamental problem with the PT jedi council, and order as a whole: apathy.
I recommend the (very comedic) fanfiction where Jango Fett (recently married to Shmi Skywalker) sues the Jedi Order for custody of Anakin: CORUCAFSS: Case no 9877882 (Jango Fett v. Jedi Order). It includes this gem:
(Could Mr. Fett please clarify what he means by “the Jedi taking a nine-year-old into an active warzone”? No reasonable adult would – oh. Oh no.)
#but yes I do think it is a failure to miss a large point of the PT that the jedi was flawed the senate was flawed and this ENABLED#palpatine's rise#if you cannot see the flaws in a fictional institution I fear for your reduction of charities into either 'good' or 'bad' instead of the#more nuanced 'everything created by someone imperfect is going to be imperfect'#by necessity#jedi order critical#jedi council critical#thanks for the influx of support and comments it has re-emboldened me#because the 'jedi order has never ever done anything wrong crowd' is very bold very rude and very worrying#like I do not understand how you can watch the PT and think that#just because of who anakin becomes#that the council was justified in their treatment of him in the PM#or even obi-wan's constant criticism of him in AOTC#this is not legends! this is direct canon#anyway I digress#also#fic rec#star wars#also why would you deny the jedis flaws? that's what makes them interesting!

NPD Japhet. Like if you agree.
#I mean#he was described as the gentlest guardian and did everything to make his subjects happy#in a point he overprotected them and overmanaged everything#but seeing his efforts wasted made a great impact on him#japhet WANTED to be the best guardian possible so zone 2 being imperfect didn't only mean the elsen were distressed#but also that he wasn't as wonderful as he was trying so hard to be#not being recognized as a ruler was his last straw and everything went down the drain as soon as he felt rejected by his subjects#because he reacted in a very aggressive manner. revenge for the emotional damage they have done by 'disrespecting' him#japhet has a really high sense of self importance and entitlement while also believing himself to be flawed#just to make it clear I really love japhet he's my favorite guardian. I care him okay#please don't associate mental conditions to 'evilness' or anything like that thank you#off game#off the game#japhet off#lalá rambling...
