#but I genuinely used to dislike this guy

[maxpadelchampion]

there is really something to be said about how george russell now moves me in ways i cannot describe. I started off mildly disliking him and now i act like he’s some guy i see once every two years, hang out for three days and then disappear into the void again. highly endearing and also just some guy on the street.

im not american but some of you guys are just fucking stupid ong what do you MEAN youre not gna vote because you disagree with like one part of what youre voting for. like okay me when im fucking thick

[fortheloveofexy]

it's a pet peeve of mine when ppl frame Andrew as hating Aaron and being needlessly cruel to him... bc while yes, their relationship is fractured and strained, Andrew genuinely cares about his brother and wants the best for him, he just doesn't know how to show that in a normal way.

like he might not know how to express it in a healthy manner but Andrew LOVES Aaron, like he truly just wants Aaron to be healthy and safe. It's like, his whole Thing. Aaron is one of the most important people in his life. Andrew wants him around. He'd do anything to protect him.

I guarantee Andrew wants to be emotionally close to Aaron too, he just doesn't have the tools to do that and the thought of letting someone in terrifies him. He also has no concept of what a healthy sibling relationship looks like, so he has no frame of reference to work from.

Since we’re on the topic of video games, im tired of these fucking remakes. Ive said it before but i’ll say it again each time. These companies dont wanna invest in an actually good remaster or port and would rather waste their time with these remakes bcuz “ooh look how shiny and better the graphics look!!1!1!1” often times it has an empty feeling because everything has to be ultra realism super 6000. Its gotten so bad that now regular gamers are starting to gaslight you into playing or enjoying them. So much has been lost artistically, (like the cool UI designs) that it’s now considered “juvenile” and that i need to “grow up” and “accept it” 😂

I need an answer why do y'all hate on s7 like it's in vogue here what is going on I fucking loved that season. like hello? I can't decide if s5 or now s7 is my favourite of the show it was that good of a watch to me

I missed the closeness of the scoobies so bad I didn't even realize until we hit episode three and I was aching for it. oh, god. and the spuffy of it all! I can't even get into it right here but ohhhh. oh. and DAWNIE my sweet girl oh sweet niblet I love her so much. anya's episode? probably one of my favourite episodes of the entire show tyvm. I really liked kennedy and honestly I think she made a great second in command for buffy when she actually listened, though I think she'd be a god-awful leader. almost all of the episodes held my attention that weren't, y'know, bewitched bothered bewildered part two electric boogaloo over there. and DRUSILLAAAAAA ik she wasn't real but IDC I was fawning every time she was on screen both as the first as actually her oh I just adore her I'll never understand her and I don't even care. taking it back actually getting into the spuffy of it all for a second because oh my GOD they had an actual conversation about themselves where she neither ran away nor punched him!! and the montage of everyone screwing, only to cut to spuffy simply cuddling? to show THAT'S their intimacy? 'bout fuckin killed me it did

them kicking buffy out of her house and then literally no one saying ANYTHING about how she was RIGHT except spike ofc really bothered me. and gosh the way they just kinda... did buffy's plan anyways. a little different, but not really? still invaded the vineyard when half the reason no one was listening to her was bc they didn't wanna go back that. but that was like the biggest issue I had the entire season honestly. there was no riley to make me furious, 15 minutes of angel that I hated every second of but is so small it's whatever, and robin wood kinda annoyed me once he turned on buffy and spike there but y'know he gets less relevant so pshh. I'll admit I also got a bit peeved at myself every time I smiled at something andrew said but he grew on me wayyy quicker than I was expecting or wanting I get why he shows up in fics so often now he's entertaining to watch

anyways. I'm sure there's like a billion million things I've missed in my endeavor to simply enjoy myself while watching but as it stands? I love this season. I love it to bits and pieces and I think it was incredibly fun. y'all might just be the biggest haters in the world cause I am SO glad I decided to actually give it a go

[jonathanssweatercollection]

you still resent nancy and jonathan for getting together???? for “hurting steve’s feelings”??? despite the fact that he verbally supported their relationship like 2 hours after seeing them together. this from a season that released 6 fucking years ago. a season prior to him saying that he was NOT in love with nancy anymore. do you want me to call shawn levy and tell him of your dilemma. bestie do you need to rewatch the source material

[butteredfrogs]

i think my first day went okay but it was super awkward cause there was 3 of us starting and i was the only “girl” there (i say it like that bc i hate being referred to as a girl anyway) and the person doing our training he’d say something like “you guys” and then he’d literally pause look at me and go “and girls” and idk it just made me feel really awkward like pls just include me in “guys” it’s fine

[onlyplatonicirl]

OHHH EEMM GEEENYERRR A PROSHIPPER??? OMG OH NOOOUEEESS. GRODYYYYY EEUUGGHHH SORRY I ONLY ENGAGE WITH ✨GOOD CHRISTAN NORMAL CONTENT✨ AND YET ACTIVELY SEEK OUT PEOPLE WHO DON'T AGREE WITH MEEEE. YUUUCCK (this is what I think aggressive anti's sound like. Bro I'm so sorry you gotta put up with absolute bullshit 💀the whole argument is stupid. The "if you're not with us, you're with them" mentality makes it hard to get any compromising done when literally nobody listens to each other. Vastly infuriating.)

I KNOW RIGHT ITS SOOOO STUPID YEURGH

“Hey guys due to personal reasons I don’t label myself or participate in this discourse so please leave me out of it because all I want to do is write my fanfic and have fun with friends.”

“Ok we are labeling you as A NEUTRAL (basically just a SECRET PROSHIPPER) and you are GETTING PUT ON OUR CALLOUT BLOG!!!!!! GUYS BEWARE THIS GUY SHE PICKED HER NOSE YESTERDAY!!!!!!!”

Me when I’m in a being really weird and not knowing how to just leave other people alone competition and my opponent is all the guys who think this is somehow the correct course of action

wrt: designated victim post, still working on why Guy is the one who greets Andreas at the abbey. He's not even rude until the second encounter later at the parish church. He's at Piero's grave talking to Andreas regardless. Is this to keep him fresh in your head as you look for suspects? Andreas' friends/connections in town are Claude, Otto, and the Gertners, though you can get close to some others. Within the abbey he was mostly close to Piero, but you can imagine literally anyone else and especially Aedoc being the most inclined to visit that grave and pay respects. Nope. It's Guy there. Who Andreas is most likely to help murder by the end of the act.

FAIRYTALES. 

BRIAR VALLEY is no stranger to  rich  history,  the most common form of tales being  recorded  first through memory  –  then scroll,    more  recently,  by book.  the lack of electricity left them with a  verbal history  preceding written,   leaving  long ��gaps  that can only be filled by speaking to the eldest in the village.   among these folktales,   most revolve around  high fantasy  –  telling tales of fae - knights  &  royalty from briar valley. a common past - time that  these tales be shared to the  rare  young inhabitants of the village.   in youth,  these stories inspired sebek and his siblings to play using  wooden swords & shields,   pretending that they were members of the guard.   recalling of his grandfather’s time serving the draconia’s only further fueled the fantasy for the zigvolt siblings  &  inspired sebek to make it his goal,  latching onto his  strong - willed grandfather at a small age. 

TRADITIONS. 

the connection between  his  own family  &   the draconia family comes from a long lineage of servitude to the royal family.   each before him held the title of  retainer,   his grandfather being the last  to retire  from this position.     the long - lasting line of service had come to a  stop  when sebek’s mother broke tradition  &  married a human  –  who could not be deemed fit to stand as a knight without a  hint  of magic at his disposal.  sebek’s  father’s  profession was one of the first disappointments that he saw in him;   despite still maintaining a careful care of his own teeth as a cause of his father’s upbringing. 

in accordance with tradition,  there has  yet  to be a retainer to the draconia family who is  not  a full - blooded fae just like the rest of the royal family.  as much as sebek belittles  &  berates himself for being born half - human,  he still is motivated to be someone reliable to his young master despite his faults.   because of his late start to magic,   his skills are subpar  –  but what he lacks in magical control,   he is sure to make up for in combat talent  &  brute strength.   his reasoning for  not giving up  on becoming a knight  –  in despite the odds being stacked against him,  in a town where he is not looked upon as someone  capable  of being strong  –   unlike  a mage or a warlock,   swordsmanship  &  hand - to - hand combat are the first brought to mind where a knight is concerned.  of all the  fairytale ‘tropes’  mentioned in the stories he was read as a child  –  no  knight  is praised for relying on their  magical technique,   but instead how well they can  protect those they care about. 

SIBLINGS.

his relationship with his own siblings was always  alright  at best,   not  truly broken until they got to the age where competition between each of them was at large.   sebek’s own determination to earn a position as a retainer to the draconia family caused him to become  less  kind towards his own siblings,   treating them more like rivals than his own family.   his obsession with becoming  better  than them is what eventually caused them to see each other in a negative light.   because of this,  while he may speak fondly on his childhood stories,  he would not go so far as to say that he misses them.

[greatgoddyke]

this is petty n most likely an issue of ive just been exposed to entirely different shit but those posts about how people complaining about redemption arcs is bad bc its important message that people can change is just completely ignoring why people are actually complaining cause the big two examples i can think of for why people complain about redemptions are 1. the redemption is poorly written n ignores and/or retcons the previous seriousness of their wrongdoings just because the writer(s) want them to be good now n its kind of hard to do that if (for example) we take the lives they intentionally n mercilessly killed into account and 2. this character is an abuser but instead of taking accountability n bare minimum apologizing n letting their victim(s) choose whether they wish to still have them in their life the writer(s) choose a narrative where the abuser doesnt really have to change as a person they just dont abuse anyone anymore n the framing is weirdly unsympathetic to their victim(s)
