#but she wants so desperately to lose

[aparticularbandit]

I'm. intrigued by what they're doing with Junko here. is the best word I have for it.

I can see Junko doing these things, but I have a hard time seeing Junko being careless.

But I think Izuru summed it up best when he asked: Junko, knowing you couldn't win, why are you here?

And that...plays into my death-seeker Junko theory and plays really well into the way I'm writing her. It's less that she's careless. It's that she honestly doesn't want to win. She wants someone to stop her.

And at every opportunity, no one. stops. her.

Even Makoto, knowing exactly who she is and what she's done, says, Come with us. Leave with us. We can all be friends again.

She loses. She wants to lose. And says, No. I lost. Let. Me. Lose. Let this entire everything be done. Because the only way it ends is with me dying because it doesn't matter what I do or how careless or horrible I've been, no one will just let me be done.

Maybe, if she tries to kill Mukuro, her Ultimate Soldier sister will eventually snap and kill her instead. Or break her arm. Or something other than just dodging and avoiding.

Maybe, if she tries to kill Izuru, he'll kill her instead of kicking her to the floor and letting her talk.

Maybe, if she kills a Steering Committee member and breaks into this super private place (which she is literally risking her life to do because Chisa was risking hers just for breaking into the Steering Committee member's office, which is nowhere near as bad as breaking into Izuru's chamber), they'll catch her and kill her.

Maybe if she starts a Killing Game.

Maybe if she makes Yasuke believe she doesn't actually care about him.

Maybe if the Reserve Course riots.

Maybe if she breaks the entire world.

Maybe if she starts another Killing Game with the students who are left over.

Maybe.

Someone.

Will.

Kill.

Her.

Stop.

Her.

End.

Her.

And no one does.

Obsessed with how Lottie is one of the only Yellowjackets who is not mean to or annoyed by Misty. I’m not saying she’s exactly friendly to her but at the very least she’s polite and non-judgemental. Even when she’s dismissive or exasperated it doesn’t come off as an aversion to Misty herself (like when faced with Misty’s aggressiveness towards her in s2). In s3 ep2, Lottie even awkwardly hugs her and attempts to comfort her about Nat’s death and her own guilt. It’s even funnier because Misty is often annoyed, suspicious of and weirded out by Lottie,

im obsessed with how teenage Misty tries so hard to mask and mirror the people around her but it's that usual autistic funhouse mirroring where everything is just slightly off and wrong and so people find her extremely off-putting and even creepy and it ends up making things worse than if she'd just been fully herself to begin with. i love that with adult Misty you can see that she's basically stopped masking and allows herself to be as weird and quirky as she wants to be - but she still mirrors the people she loves (primarily Nat) because that's such a huge part of how she's learned to interact with others. also like that they gave her a pet parrot in obvious reference to that. she learned mirroring as a survival strategy but now it's become her love language

Anyway. Isn't it fun how every single fusion jasper is in results in her being hurt both physically and mentally?

even though i know the leverage team gets back together as soon as season 2 starts and we barely see any time of them being apart, it makes me unreasonably upset that they not only spent six months apart, but that they didn't know they'd all join back up eventually!! like wdym hardison spent months trying and failing to track down parker?? wdym parker gained a family and then spent half a year alone again?? wdym eliot had found a way to do some good or have some kind of purpose until it was suddenly over?? wdym nate & sophie had finally caught up with each other but came to realize that neither of them were in a place to have that relationship and spent months not knowing if that had been their last chance??

[lesbitching]

it’s nowhere near the worst interpretation and i do understand how it could be assumed or even be compelling if you’re very interested in the lords in black but one of my biggest pet peeves is the interpretation that the lords in black are manipulating grace and deliberately driving her to where she ends up the entire play. such a big part of what makes grace work is her role as the driving force in the play, an active agent who’s actions directly lead to all the calamity and tragedy that occurs later through sheer religious guilt, desperation and neuroticism. taking even some of that autonomy away from her makes her significantly less compelling.

Rewatching aos s5 and s6 and it's so funny that regardless of whether the writers intended it or not, the way Daisy communicates with fellow agents she leads makes is clear that she would in fact, be a great director. She's compassionate and practical and confident and not a single agent we see outside of fs family and yoyo have issues with her. Her fatal flaw is that she's too attached to her old friends who she loves and trusts despite them both having gone a little evil and ruthlessly immoral due to the past season's trauma. Like literally if fitzsimmons respected her as much as they respect each other and as much as Daisy respects them, s5 and s6 would be drastically more positive for the whole team.

After hearing both Lose Your Head by Vane Lily and Confessions of a Rotten Girl by SAWTOWNE, Ive come to the conclusion that they happen in the same universe and Lose Your Head Teto and Fujoshi Miku attend the same catholic school

Sylus saying "...don't run" to MC when they're finally being openly honest about their desire for one another and their trust and shared spaces.

We all know Timmy is Wanda’s mama’s boy but we need to keep in mind he’s still Cosmo’s kid too and that Cosmo would love him just as vehemently as Wanda

[forbiddentaako]

more monochrome practice I suppose

You know what had been a genius writing move? If the show had tricked you into believing Jackie had been one of the survivors, because of the way Shauna talks as if she'd be alive in the present time only to reveal that Shauna named the baby she had after the planecrash Jackie.

If I could change one thing about the show it's that Shauna's baby survives. That's the living embodiement of your betrayal. The reason for your friend's death and your own survival. That's the child you had with the cheating boyfriend of your best friend! The baby that was nourished by your best friends corpse!! In another world this would be Jackie's baby but in this world you can pretend Jackie and you are the mothers. Shauna should get so so weird about her daughter. She should pretend she is Jackie reborn, name her Jackie, dress her in Jackie's hand me downs that her parents gift her on every anniversity of Jackie's death, make her play football and force her into the life Jackie would have wanted.

Maybe I'm hormonal but I started crying over Gemmas pregnancy loss(es). She was so excited to cover her glass and nod to Devon and it made everything. The knowing. Mark saying let's just stop and her disbelief...... 1000x worse

as previewed, sidri more or less snaps at adamant and lets her emotions get the best of her prior to the fade. where she normally strives to present herself as thoughtful and composed, occasionally veering towards iciness in public, her true self bleeds through and she's visibly furious, shaken and upset.

so far, her major diplomatic decisions through the inquisition have all had to do with significant groups losing their way. while she's hardly surprised the templars have completely veered from a supposedly rightful cause (though it was never rightful, not to her) to outright oppression and violence, and she can at best sympathize with fiona's decision to indenture the mages to tevinter, she nonetheless begins to view all organizations as eventually straying from their intended goals under time and pressure.

sidri desperately wants the wardens, unfairly, to be better than both the mages & the templars. she holds them out in her mind as being above the allure of power and the corruption of fear, a collective that the inquisition should and could strive to be like, and holds them on a pedestal in her mind. even when hawke's warden contact warns her that something is off with the wardens, all the way to their leadership and clarel, she convinces herself that surely there is some kind of an explanation or reason.

but then she gets to adamant and it's worse than she ever could have imagined. it's so much death and despair celebrated under the guise of a righteous, necessary cause. the sudden horror of recognizing that even a cause as somber as the wardens' can be twisted with fear beyond recognition strikes her at her core and she's left seething, disgusted, and despite her admiration of the hero of ferelden and the wardens she encounters personally, is never able to fully let go of her utter disappointment and anger towards them.

yuri blast. sorry. finished hi3 chapter 17. very miserable. mei loving kiana so fucking much that she's blind to the hypocrisy of her own actions - or she's not blind, it just really, really, really doesn't matter anymore. not in light of how much she loves her. "i can't bear to live in a world without you, but i'm going to ask you to do the same now. maybe you'll hate me for that, maybe i'm awful and selfish and unforgivable... but you're alive. so the rest is inconsequential now." that was so beautifully devastating. i need to go play in the middle of traffic
