as much as i love keenry, it’s kinda crazy how they’ve been put in a position where from a realistic standpoint, it’s possible that they wouldn’t be endgame. now ik cobra kai isn’t realistic but if you combine that with that one tweet jon hurwitz made; i am lowkey nervous

My personal headcanon is that Pony got his love for reading from Darry. When Darry was in high school he’d read the books he got in class out loud to Ponyboy and straight up just handed him some of the easier ones so they could talk about it later. In my brain the reason Ponyboy clings onto it so much is because it’s one of the things he and Darry REALLY bonded over when he was a kid and it just brings back good memories of when they got along better.

I want to love someone enough that they no longer feel like they have a gaping hole inside of them but also perhaps more importantly i want to love them enough that they realize that the hole they felt inside of them was never there to begin with, that they’ve never been short of anything and that they’ve always deserved love even when it was hard to find

I know I’m late but idc that person who tried to spread fake allegations about tubbo is so fucking stupid. Like yeah, the obviously fake story is telling enough but their lack of forethought as to what they’re actually doing is just crazy.

They outright used Tubbo’s name and blatantly accused him of a crime that he didn’t commit. AND if his viewers can defend him based on the limited evidence we have, I can only imagine what his lawyer could do if given the opportunity. This random person has potentially put themselves in so much legal trouble and for what? goddamn twitter likes???? Like congratulations, thanks to your actions not only will you rot in hell but also possible rot in jail as well.

It hasn’t even been a month since Cellbit’s twitter calúnia case was made public and yet we still have people who don’t understand that their actions have consequences ESPECIALLY IF ITS FUCKING ILLEGAL

i really wish more people streamed so it was easier to have insight into other perspectives of various events on the server in real time as opposed to seeing videos that come out way later </3 i would’ve loved to see mane and flame’s perspective of the big spawn conflict involving them, or even now with mawn (though mapicc does stream very Sparingly.)

this is kinda fucked but i don’t think logan has personally touched his socials in a really long time purely because he totally would’ve posted about the panthers being in the finals by now

Nadasa Thorne is so important to me as someone who’s been cradling Mahanon Tabris to his chest as his main Hero of Ferelden for two years. Veilguard gave me a perfect timeline to finally critically examine what Mahanon looks like down the line, two decades removed from the Fifth Blight.

Mahanon’s role was always, to me, a critical examination of the “perfect victim”; not only was Mahanon an imperfect victim in every way (angry, reactive, often vindictive, an avenger more than not) but he was also 20, trans, and had no real guidance after the worst was over. When a person who made hard, gutting decisions for the sake of their own survival is then granted a position of power and authority and no further guidance, he’s not going to start making better choices. And I didn’t want him to—he was never supposed to BE the sort of person who emulated abject goodness. I wanted his story to be gritty and real to ME.

Finally, though, I can pull back and examine what that does to someone cyclically. Nadasa was 16 when Mahanon conscripted him; ten years before the events of Veilguard, right around the events of Inquisition kicked up. Mahanon was the legendary Hero of Ferelden, but through Nadasa’s eyes I’m finally allowed to see the man he has become and always was, apart from and outliving his own myth.

Mahanon had no mentor example to rely on and so his only blueprint was his father. Nadasa ended up with blurred lines for their relationship; Mahanon was mentor and myth, father and legend and friend all at once. There was no clear distinguishing line between any of these things—and there should have been. Mahanon isolated Nadasa, unintentionally, due to his own PTSD, and triangulated him against other Wardens because he thought they couldn’t be trusted.

He instilled Nadasa with a strict “us vs them” mentality (a combination of survivor’s guilt and a belief that Duncan only wanted warm bodies to throw at the darkspawn) and, in tangent with his constant pushing of responsibility onto Nadasa that he wasn’t ready for, made Nadasa someone aloof and apart even from other wardens. He had no real support system outside of him: all Nadasa had was rank he hadn’t earned and social clout that came from being the apprentice to the Hero of Ferelden.

When Mahanon left for his Calling—where he did not say goodbye and gave Nadasa the responsibility of mailing off his farewell letters—Nadasa had nothing left. Mahanon saw himself as a paragon of what a Grey Warden should be, but not as a good man or a good politician. He wanted Nadasa to be all of those things, but with only Mahanon as an example, Nadasa could only ever turn out to be just like him.

The narrative arc of Veilguard puts Nadasa into a position where he can have that team and that support and find a way to lead them. But when I explore his arc outside of the context of being Rook, all he has is a legacy unaddressed. He can either keep carrying Mahanon’s because no one else will—because he loves Mahanon even if he doesn’t understand him, because nobody knew Mahanon better—or he can let it go and be the man that Mahanon wanted him to be rather than the one Mahanon made him to be.

Nadasa Thorne can perpetuate the cycle or break it. I’m really glad to see that I can have that with my two wardens.

OKAY I HAVE TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST SOB i LOVE raven and star together. like, their friendship of goth x sunshine is literally my dream dynamic. i love it to DEATH. it’s why i adore sam & cat so much even though so many people dislike it.

but by god can you tell that one constantly shines over the other, both in works and in community..... everyone i know would choose raven over star in terms of favouritism ranking (i don’t know THAT many people into titans but still, i remember my friend group had tt matching icons and like. 3 PEOPLE HAD RAVEN. my group wasn’t big by any means so that speaks volumes.). it’s like no one even thinks of female characters like star when presented with the “snarky goth character with a really troubled past” character. in every iteration of titans raven’s story is amplified or even at the center of it. i know trigon’s a huuuge threat, but still.....

and i LOVE gabriel picolo’s titans. i literally live & breathe them, that man is BRILLIANT. but you can tell who he favours, not only in terms of couples, but characters as well. the graphic novels are amazing as well and i am enjoying them, but they also start off with raven’s story, immediately followed by beast boy, and then by a beast boy x raven book. while star and cyborg get squeezed into one. now i’m not saying anything...... but man...... :,,,)

it’s not like star has no plots except to be the “quirky sunshine” of the group, her relationship with her sister is complex & a great thing to explore (THAT ALMOST NO MEDIA WITH HER EVER DID as far as i know SOBBB), her upbeat personality clashing with the cruel world around her but still prevailing, her overcoming her insecurities instilled by blackfire, etc. SOB

as i said, i adore raven, but i think i had too much of her i’m overdosing and getting frustrated and it’s starting to show & bleed into my perception of the character SOB

and now i’m proofreading and this sounds like such a raven hate post and i hate myself for it because i appreciate her so much but i gotta let out my frustrations somewhere :,)

the idea of a Gayest Player In The NHL bracket at all is already in poor taste to some degree bc i get everyone loves to make the “they’re so gay for each other fr” jokes but the condition of the actual league and its actions right now is like. you do understand why calling these people Gay Icons (Positive) for funny haha jokes is just. at best inappropriate timing, yes? but the idea of literally including one of the guys who got pride nights cancelled with his homophobia is just. can we take a minute to realize that hockey fandom doesn’t take place in a void completely unconnected to reality and see that this is just. a Really Bad Look. at best.

It’s so silly when I see people try to defend Billy Hargrove. Bc they always act like you’re the problem for not liking him 🤭

“You don’t understand his…”

“I like to believe he can unlearn…”

“I’ve dealt with people like him and…”

Like I watched the show, understood why he acted the way he acted, and still didn’t like him. And that’s okay. I empathized with him in the end, but that’s all.

Yk why? Because his actions aren’t excused.

You can use the excuse that someone’s had a bad life on ANYONE, but they give Billy a pass bc he’s a hot white man.

Especially when a black person does it and then tries to make it seem like they’re more woke 😭

Just say you’ll do anything to ignore the racism and issues in that man and move on. Life would be easier if they just said they liked a character bc he was hot. Not everything needs to be defended. It’s fiction nd you can like his character, but trying to make it seem like you understand a character more when we watched the same thing is BATSHIT crazy.

(Before someone gets mad, I do not hate Billy, I just see shit for how it is and not through a rose tinted lens. You can write fanfic for him all you want bc you can decide how he acts and his character, but don’t ever act like you can’t understand the reason ppl don’t like him)

As a psychology major, I can say and firmly believe that Freud is so stupid. He'd be so close to getting it, then boom. He's back to saying stupid ass shit.
