#but he's so blasé about it

[thelittlestspider]

it's crazy that peter found out matt's life got blown up by the kingpin and he was just like whatever.

cannot stop thinking about the scene where the being/sir sparklepuff lands on aaravos in the middle of the fight in the last episode, and aaravos is so thrown off for a split second (iirc pretty much the only time we see him that way in that whole fight!) like. there's something there that i don't quite have the braincells to connect rn. the fact that the being was in the in-between at all, when it seems to be implied that he knew he was the sacrifice/was okay with it, and even aaravos seemed discomfited by his presence in a way that's entirely different from his demeanour in the rest of that fight. something about how casually aaravos treats the being and his sacrifice when he is also his child, whereas leola and at this point even claudia's deaths either did or would unbalance him (and he outright states this about claudia too in the same episode). like we saw the being's role in viren's arc very clearly but i'm very much wondering what place he has in aaravos's, and if/how that'll come into play

Transcript:

If you hate your body, do not achieve the body you want out of hate.

I know what you're thinking: starve yourself, run yourself into the ground, faster cardio, no carbs, no sugar.

You're reaching a perceived level of health at the expense of your actual health. If you expedite the process without doing the internal work, you're fucked. Now, I know there's some people who are finally happy and, uh, thinner body and I'm not talking to you, okay? Please, separate yourself from the equation and listen to what I'm saying.

It is so much more rewarding if you just improve your lifestyle. I just got my 10,000 steps on this beautiful day. I didn't do it to burn calories, I did it because I get to. I'm gonna go train legs now, I fucking love squatting and deadlifting! I love being strong! I have more time today, so I'm gonna take my time to cook a delicious, nutritious lunch. I'm not grinding, I'm not fasting, I'm not just having protein. I'm not doing burpees in-between my sets.

When you do this from an extreme standpoint, you're abandoning your quality of life. Therefore, you'll be more resentful. And because you're so resentful, you'll constantly be looking for validation, and it will never be good enough, and you'll be chasing a body that's impossible to reach 'cause your standards are too high. Just chase health! It's so much more rewarding, and you don't have to answer to fucking anybody!

Not gonna lie, I really love crossovers so one of my first thoughts while reading Clipped Wongs was ‘what would happen if canon verse bros met CC bros?’ I imagine Leo, Raph and Mikey would not take it well, even if they knew everything that happened was because of a curse

i think it would start out very appalling for all of the canonverse bros, mostly because so much has been like. aired out from the events that went down in CL and forward, pretty much all of them were GUTTED for all of the things theyve gone out of their way to keep hidden because of this. unveiled all of their little complexes. got their metaphorical entrails ripped out. they're going to come out stronger in some ways and more fragile in others, like i think they'll be a lot more communicative/close but there's a lot of soft spots. with donnie especially, although that's obvious

but after that i think they'd soften and be more understanding. canon donnie (cv? i'll just use cv for shortening purposes) would probably even reframe the way his OWN brothers see him, seeing how the pain they inflicted on cc!donnie experienced influenced them all. and i think it would be unnerving to see how they all look at him like they're looking at a ghost (cc!leo especially...). he never had his entire identity shattered, i think it would be difficult him for him to process the depth of that pain

and imo i feel like cv!leo would find cc!leo uhhhh Uncomfortable. like WAOW that is a little too close to home, too vulnerable, bro chill. ESPECIALLY if we're talking pre-movie (little tangent but i always think its weird when people make leo get super closed off after the movie in fic because it feels antithetical to like. the themes? whatever. i think it'd make sense for him to be a lot more open instead of hiding behind all the bullshit like before, although he has some new things to be stressed about. honestly i felt like the point of all of that pain was for him to be a better communicator)

cc!donnie would probably find the cv alternatives of them a lot more comfortable because its a glimpse of normalcy. i dont think they'd treat him like he's made of glass or get weird and overprotective, which is a trap his brothers in cc are going to fall into even long after things have blown over (theyd go so ballistic when he's hurt!). and i think they would know how to handle him a lot better because they're not clouded by this intense guilt-driven bias, although i think their demeanor would gentle exponentially the first time they see him freak out/have a flashback. its a fun thing to think about frrr

travis matagot just -- the very concept of him unlocks something deep and feral in my brain, even aside from all the changeling stuff. an angel looked upon you once as a child and, after seeing every possible thread and pathway of the man you will grow into one day, said 'I see no sin here' even as its holy flames consumed your screaming parents and the town around you. that angel, having stumbled head over heels to earth after killing god, later deliberately loses their name to you in a card game so the eyes of heaven can't find them. you and the angel have proceeded to annoy the everloving FUCK out of each other for centuries because you just keep. bumping. into each other!!!! through the power of like Narrative and also simply being two of the only people who've even been around that long. you've kept their name for them this whole time and never breathed a word of it, even though they seemingly never even explained why they wanted to lose it in the first place. you've sworn to die together or not at all.

what if you met an eldritch horror as a child and then became their best (and most irritating) friend/life partner/frenemy/perpetual thorn in their side (affectionate). I'm obsessed with this idea of being divinely judged as unworthy of damnation so early in your life and having to have that in the back of your head forever even as your self-loathing and trauma start piling up over the centuries and you have done so many shitty things along the way. like. is he trying to prove them wrong. is that part of his whole thing about trying to escape the narrative. or is it to prove that 'no actually awful things happen to me because I'm awful, you got it wrong from the start (fuck you btw)' because at least that feels like a choice, like some kind of control to hold on to? what is going on here travis. what the fuck

I am begging to get one episode in s4 of Smallville where someone doesn't lie to Lex's face at least once.

Clark stood there and let him do his little devotional act of getting rid of the Clark Investigation Room (and if it comes out later that he's got backups or whatever then sure I'll eat my words) and agrees to be his friend again, and then I don't think he says a single word of truth to Lex in 4x05 and it's not even subtle. Boy, I'd rather y'all just not be friends and yes I know I've been sad about the s3 breakup and pre-sad about the big one but honestly it would just be better for everyone.

"WeLl LeX iS lYiNg To ClArK tOo" yeah but if Clark wasn't so blatantly gaslighting him multiple times a day maybe he wouldn't feel the need to give as good as he's getting. They're both behaving badly but Clark is worse. They're stressing me out.

Do you think Aoyama kun knew at the time that Ichigo was in fact the cat he saved? If so... That's very scandalous 🤭 frickin offering to bathe with her.

If not, do you think he ever found out later?

Did he know when he first brought her home as a cat? I don’t think so — I mean, how could he? Maybe he suspected something was up subconsciously when he dreamed about her when they were in bed together.

While I headcanon that Masaya suspected Ichigo was Mew Ichigo almost immediately, I’m not sure he would have made the connection to a literal cat.

Did he find out about her cat form later? Absolutely, it’s canon that he did!

I find Vecna/Henry/One just not terribly interesting as a character if you look at him in canon on a surface level (and I wouldn’t care about the play even if it were accessible to me). I’m into what he reveals about other characters, but (a) attributing a human consciousness to the UD makes the show a little less unique and (b) I think the show’s over-reliance on youthful antagonists has both caused thematic problems and made the adults less interesting on a group. (I know Vecna is in his thirties, but he starts doing bad shit as a young teen and is younger than the other prominent adults.) Which is why I find it funny that I have three WIPs where there’s kind of a whole lot of Vecna going on.

a girl asked my brother if i was his mum and he was like um no my mums dead so that would be impossible. that's my sister. LOL

Acotar brainrot thought:

Y’know how everyone (for the most part) confirms that Cassian has scars on his face?

What if a little Drabble of him and Nesta actually talking and she asks the specifics of where he got each scar and each one on the face is due to Rhysand (either from being used as a punching bag for steam one too many times or actual brawls with weapons between the two) and onward

Because it’s weird how often Cassian is a punching bag for him. Like it’s enough to know it’s a ritual of sorts for them (in the way of compulsion and the Need™️ to do it)

Idk just food for thought

5 chapters left hmm…

the kinda like. inherent divine-ness of zenos and the wol rattles around in my brain line a ping pong ball

[aerithisms]

like. okay i'm gonna get mean but i'm comparing rtd with himself so it's fair game.

if you look at series 1 and end of the world, where rose sees space for the first time and the doctor hacks her phone to call home, and compare it to ruby seeing space for the first time in space babies in a scene that is clearly directly calling back to that, the series 1 version has a lot more weight to it. the scene is used as a way to unsettle rose, make her afraid of this journey and the strange man she's run off with, make her think about how small she is. it drives the first form of conflict between them. the space babies scene certainly isn't bad but it doesn't do the same kind of heavy lifting for either ruby's character or her relationship with the doctor.

i'm not saying i expect this tardis team to hit all the same emotional beats we've seen before or that i want the space babies scene to be exactly like the one from end of the world - i want the show to copy from the past less, not more - but i do want the writing to have an equivalent amount of depth.
