#but she did just do the unforgivable

[winepresswrath]

Challengers is wild because the happy threesome ending is so obvious. Tashi embodies tennis and also loves it best. Those dudes only play good tennis together. They love her because they love tennis and they love tennis because they love each other. She feels something for them individually but they can't bring the magic on their own. Isolated, they're not giving her what she craves, what she's been denied from taking for herself. However none of them will do anything about it because the competition and homewrecking is what makes it hot. Like they can't get off if they're not competing. Sick & compelling.

Anyone else still gets enraged when they think about how even after Feyre found out Ianthe had SA Lucien, she still used him in her plot to get back at Ianthe. Or is it just me?

there r a lot of things about the myth of psyche and eros that makes me a little insane but one of them has always been the tasks from aphrodite and the unfairness of it. they're not intended to be possible. they're so obviously not meant to be possible, and psyche isn't fucking hercules, you know, she's not a demigod or whatever, she's mortal and these aren't mortal tasks!! it's why psyche has to be helped with each one, fucking by like ants and river gods and shit. and so like. idk. i know ppl see psyche and eros as like a story about love and shit which obviously it is but as a kid psyche and eros always felt like a story about being able to accept help

rise did not fucking deserve what happened to her in arena btw I refuse to think that she was kidnapped and silenced and terrified as a hostage, her image used by a malicious entity keeping her trapped there and watching her before she attempts to desperately contact her friends or literally anyone that could help her. this happened in every timeline which is every route and it pains my heart to remember it. I will save you girl. let's get out of here!!!!!

ik its ultimately harmless behavior and that no one on the internet today uses that sort of general etiquette anyway, but it's still wild to me when people make posts that roughly amount to "i don't ship this." and then specifically tag the ship name so it shows up in that ship tag. like... who in this tag do you think wants to see this dkjlskdjslk

There's incredible fear of people and all the facades they put up behind Kotoko's malice it's incredibly sad and worth noting the prison system does indeed reinforce to her the Violence is The Answer

Anyways this is a random PSA to say that I hate Rika and there's nothing she can do to redeem herself in my eyes

the thing about winter is coming/the north remembers, the magic of it all, and the starks being raised with this sense of duty to protect their people is that thinking of it always makes me think of lyanna and howland reed and the story that started with them at harrenhal and ended in a tower in the red mountains. she protected him—beat a bunch of squires off of him, cleaned his wounds, talked him into feasting with them without thinking for a second that he was beneath her (and she found clothes for him so he wouldn’t be out of place), disguised herself as a knight and risked her life and reputation to enter a tourney (though of course she must have thought it was a laugh since… yeah) to fight and actually beat the knights who taught their squires to behave so dishonorably when he couldn’t do it himself—because aside from being the right thing to do, it was her duty as a stark to do it. (why do the gods make kings and queens, if not to protect the ones who can’t protect themselves? / justice… that’s what kings are for) and it touched him so deeply that he went all the way to dorne for her, lied for her, protected her brother and her son, made her into a story he told his children. he remembers her.

See the further irony is:

That in using 'Mall Goth Sauron' as the take on Dark Willow over 'misogynist has character randomly killed for LULZ' it also allows for greater accountability on the one hand and for Season 7 to thematically focus on repairing all this damage in the midst of facing an enemy of shadows reliant on lies to further itself. The only way to break the Druj is the absolute Truth in a very Zoroastrian sense. Characters don't get to neatly skip past accountability for their actions, and this would spiral over into further later seasons with the essential reality that in an otherwise lower-level setting this one random girl from California is a Dark Phoenix-tier reality warper and the most powerful person on the planet, or the universe.

And the questions of how that power could and should be employed on the one hand and that Willow is essentially a Doctor Strange type who beats up Gods and Eldritch Abominations for her regular line of work where her counterparts deal with the more 'street level' crises would in turn be the logical conclusion of where the show ends. She doesn't do as much physical fighting for the same reason that Stephen Strange never uses magic to go punch the Hulk in the face, her narrative role is ultimately that of Sorceress Supreme of Earth, with literally nobody in an ancient established war anticipating that this one random ginger from California was and is the new Sorceress Supreme and that if they had had such awareness the realities are that this power would and could have taken worse forms.

Unfortunately for the world, the reality too is that it is a shy computer geek who has a not at all subtle dark side and the usual teenage anxieties and insecurities given the equivalent of being able to reliably actually do things other people might dream of but can never do.

But again as long as Dawn Summers being a good thing is a narrative convention that's established memory magic is a poor choice to show the corrupting effects of reality-warping. It's a case of 'yes as established in canon all of this is true for that one season but then they decided to retcon it, so the fans are not obligated to care about it any more than the canon does about this itself.'

idk how you do it, i take one stroll into the side of the fandom that isn't in love with jgy and his cute hat and come back covered in toxic sludge. you're so cool for defending our lil guy <3

I have to give credit where credit is due, anon: no one could have better prepared me for not knowing when to let go of bad-faith marathon arguments on this hellsite than my mother 🤌 but in all seriousness, thank u

at this point tho I think the majority of that side of the fandom has me blocked, so I only see the most radioactive of the toxic sludge because my pals send me screenshots. for which I am eternally grateful tbh, please keep showing me the garbage, I have a pathological need to play in it.

The pinkberry fic I want to read more than anything is 'the end'. I don't know, the more I think about Chloe the more toxic she seems. I analyze the way she behaved in canon and apply it to other aspects of her relationships and honestly, she's probably ruined Brooke's self-esteem beyond simple high school girl fights. Brooke probably bases her own value off of Chloe's opinion of her, and irreversibly so (to some extent), and I bet Chloe knows it, because she did it on purpose. I want a fic where Brooke begs in tears for Chloe to stay because she doesn't know anything but Chloe, because she's endlessly loving and forgiving and, as Chloe spent years constructing and perfecting, she's all Brooke has. And Chloe, finally, after everything, realizes the best thing she can do is leave. That the only way Brooke can ever learn to love herself is if she gets as far away as possible. As a Chloe Valentine hater, that is the only way I will ever see Chloe as truly redeemed.

Uhhh FNAF movie ramblings ahead. Spoilers beware

Okay so. I liked it. I think. It was very fan servicey in a good way, and I loved Mike, Abby, & the animatronics. Vanessa and the plot with William though… god…

I can’t do this wishy washy “ooo!!! secrets and scenes and shit that makes no sense!!! bet you had the REAL plot. better theorize and stay confused for fucking ever!!” I can’t do that again. I’m not strong enough. The FNAF series has done that, and done it poorly, for so long. It broke my spirit for a good while that was only revived because Pizzeria Sim HAD answers and a resolution. It started to die again with Security Breach (I hate Peepaw Afton so fucking much)

I wish the plot was simpler. I wish I had less confusion about things. I wish the Vanessa twist wasn’t so lame, god that felt weird and forced imo. I was William wasn’t so… I don’t know, I still can’t figure out what I dislike about him. Something just rubs me the wrong way.

On the surface level, I had an amazing time. When I think about the plot and my questions, I just get irritated and disappointed. I’m tired of questions. I thought this would be a simpler plot for us to have.
