My issues with the matchups in enies lobby would be easily fixed if CP9 had, say, a 9th member.
#champagne would be a perfect match for chopper too. a zoan who specifies in poisons and is also fairly weak.#champagne is stronger than chopper btw and Would call for his overdosed state still. that wouldnt change bc i like it#then theyd be forced to fight one on one. im tired of oda pairing up women so they donr fight men#why is kalifa the weakest. i hate it here i hate it here i#📡 incoming transmission 📡#oc: champagne

past performance at the remaining five circuits for both bagnaia and martin
pretty obvious that jorge has had the edge at most of these tracks, with the caveat that this is a very limited sample size. last year pecco was in a position in the championship where it made sense to not risk too much (plus potential aftereffects of the catalunya injury), whereas this year he won't be able to afford that to the same extent. the positive for him is that he emerged from indonesia, a circuit where he has a clear pace deficit, in a marginally strengthened position - the less positive side is you wouldn't necessarily expect him to have an advantage over jorge at these other tracks
the sunday race in motegi last year has the asterisk that it was wet and red-flagged; for what it's worth (not much) practise wouldn't indicate pecco has a massive inherent pace deficit there - but you'd still give the advantage to jorge (cf pecco's horrendous 2022). phillip island last year was the one where jorge made The tyre choice but otherwise had a lot of pace in hand, that one feels like a bit of a toss up given neither has won there in the past (and also a plausible one for both finishing behind marc, maybe even a couple other riders). thailand last year was obviously a martin sweep, but that one did also feature the very tight three way battle in the race between those two and binder until the last lap (bagnaia only got p2 because of binder's track limit violation). again you'd lean martin. sepang feels like a toss up and one where you'd maybe expect bastianini to put in a repeat of last year's performance. valencia is the only one where you'd slightly lean pecco, if the title is still undecided then
overall, given the 21 point deficit and the circuit profiles to come, you'd have to say it's on martin's plate. there's a few more question marks like 'can pecco fix his start problem' and 'how competitive are the other riders' (especially at a track like phillip island) - at this stage a 9 point vs a 5 point swing is pretty substantial. plus ofc there's always stuff like 'hm the weather radar for motegi is looking a bit dubious for saturday'. then there's the obvious question of how both of them hold up mentally - especially given their respective positions in the standings. if the pace differential plays out as you'd expect, jorge can probably afford one more major fuck up and still come out on top, which gives him just about enough margin you'd have to reckon he can weather that storm. and if I were pramac, I'd take pains to ensure nobody tells him as much. pecco obviously can afford a grand total of zero major fuck ups, which traditionally does seem to have a positive impact on his performances. all of which probably means you'd expect them to converge again in the standings by end of the season, but with martin maintaining enough of a buffer to emerge on top. but who knows!
#they're currently averaging a combined 4 fuck ups per 10 race starts (quite neatly if u look at how the season's played out)#so that's what you'd expect for the rest of the season. in the last five events of 2023 the only dnf was jorge's one in valencia fwiw#//#brr brr#current tag#circuit by circuit stats feel like they're exactly a year from being useful for both of them somehow#like after this season i feel i have a way better grasp of where they're both good vs mid than i did before#why? idk this year feels like it was more normal. they've both just been the title contenders all the way#direct h2h comparison between two high level riders who are both not experiencing massive fluctuations in performance#like with something like 2022 honestly afterwards if you asked me if i could pinpoint where pecco is strong and weak#i would've just started laughing#but for instance for next year i'd be reasonably willing to take a stab at whether circuits skew pecco or marc#and then it's a question of how well they're doing overall#so for instance if mugello is competitive then pecco is probably in serious trouble and if aragon is competitive likewise for marc#marc is the poster child for this because 'losing close duels at his weakest circuits' was basically his whole MO in his prime#whereas this metric would've been completely useless with valentino who won mugello by the skin of his teeth several years in a row#he had to deal with what experts of the sport like to call the 'pathological need to put on a good show' handicap

None of the Highlander sequels were good but I was entertained by all of them in their own way
#3 is probably the weakest? like 2 and 4 are quite bad in their own ways but they have redeeming elements I find really interesting#and 3 does too! there’s a magician! he has a boy! a baby boy! I like his girlfriend. she’s in crash. but like. weak villain weak finale#it just has less going on! and 2 is like. a bad movie but it’s an INSANE bad movie I had the time of my LIFE watching it. Sean Connery gets#a makeover montage. highlanders are actually aliens. Virginia Madsen is there. Michael Ironside plays a guy named katana. and half of 4 is#about duncan Macleod who’s hashtag not my Highlander but bizarrely the emotional core of the movie really works for me. also I like that#Connor kills a priest like that’s insane. and of course the SIMMERING homoeroticism#‘don’t you want to be inside me’ <- they say this TWICE#anyway I haven’t seen the only Adrian Paul one I’m sure it’s bad#arggg I just remembered ‘I love you connor’ followed by an immediate decapitation…

All naked and covered in oil who’s winning the twerk off
#the answer is dolph btw#he’s the only one who’s shown ass#I have seen. every punisher movie. haven’t seen the show! but I’ve seen every movie#they all have their strengths and weaknesses. my favorite is 2004 but I’m fond of 87. war zone sucks but there is one amazing moment#though dolphs performance is probably the weakest but it’s carried emotionally by stronger actors okay I think I’ve written enough tags#to sufficiently cover this up I kind of need thomas janeisher#wait additional tags! I think every movie actor had to dye their hair#jane and lundgren definitely did and you can tell I’m a little unsure about stevenson (war zone)

i love it when shit happens in my life that dredges up old wounds and coincidentally im re-experiencing the media i intrinsically link it to cause then i get to remember exactly why i love it and find it so meaningful all over again. there's a fucking reason ill always say Berserk [& RGU] both came into my life at a perfect fucking time and holy shit they fucking resonated with me so hard and as much as life can suck ass and lovvves kicking me in the balls when ive just recovered from last time i a least get to remember how & why i love something so much.
#thebirdspeaks#ive been trying to make a coherent post about Berserk and specifically the duality of Casca and Guts as victims post eclipse#because there are issues but also it resonates so well with me regardless#i cant word it pretty but i think its something about Casca and Guts both being victims and responding in opposite ways#and because they are so tightly linked you can almost see them as one victim experiencing the duality of victimhood#as an internal struggle made into two separate people#i flip flop between who i relate to more in relation to my own trauma#and there is plenty to criticize with the writing choices around Casca dont get me wrong#but as much as people criticize her mind breaking and turning into a shell of herself that needs constant help as something entirely negati#i sure as fuck was not given that space and care to be broken#its very nuanced but i think so few people write victims sympathetically that as much as turning into a mess can appear overdone#being cared for and given space and help and being allowed to be a burden is a powerful thing#and i find the expectation to be strong in the face of what you went though is much more common and damaging to me#anyway as many issues as i have i think Casca being allowed to be a victim as much a she was is why i love Berserk so much and while i thin#it could be better if some things were changed#but im not sure if it would have hit as hard and meant as much to me when i was wobbling between mindless rage and want for revenge#and just being broken and tired and weak and scared#reading Guts protect Casca like he did#showed me that that part of me could protect and is better off channeling the mindless rage into protecting whats important to me and what#needs it#letting me demand protection and love and sympathy for my weakest self in my darkest hours#i know im far from objective & my opinions are not universal#but the fact Casca is allowed to be a victim so fully and not just a hashtag girlboss who struggles her way out#well i wouldn't call Guts a girlboss but actually i think that's why it worked.#because between the two they cover the two ends of the common depictions of victimhood: forced to stay strong and allowed to be weak#anyway im about to hit tag limit i love you f you read this far and if you think this is horseshit then please don't say#if you think im right and sexy about it pile the love on meee<3

I was trying to google something about Aylin and instead stumbled upon a Steam Forums thread of guys whining about her and I'm losing my shit from laughing
(will keep the particulars in the tags so that you can skip it)
#op complains that she made him look at how lesbian she is stubfdhj#they're all pissed off that she's violent and stole their kills and a child of light shouldn't behave like that#'she wasted her immortality on being captive' what an INTERESTING way to put it!!!!#she's also built like a man apparently abdjtktjt#for me personally the cherry on top is the guy that said#that the scene of her smashing Ketheric's head reminded him of online people who 'screech about incels'#WONDER WHERE THAT FRAME OF REFERENCE COMES FROM MY DUDE you're telling on yourself#these men are so weak.#the weakest.#coughing fucking babies

see for the thing ive observed abt the way the female-to-male predation types of portrayals happen to go, that imo for some reason use like extra stablished power dynamics to like. *justify themselves happening in the first place (like ex mothers that are yk. v straighforward menaces in a kid/teen's inmediacy), is that i will give fujimoto the acknowledgement of partially avoiding doing so by virtue of him not having much respect or shame for himself and his story analogues.
#txt#*like whay im trying to say is that i get the feeling that they use like very heightened imbalances more from the getgo to like pose them#as a threat to start as baseline ygwim?#say to continue w the mother bit. too I feel they allow the male character like if just one iota of decency#a certain jenesaisquoi subconscious safeguard that the agressor can be toppled ultimately. that it has a weakness.#like a very subtle security that they can 'be put in their place'#and to be clear im not saying that writing abt abuse has to be an exercise of cruelty or self flagellation#and self debasement regardless of it being lived or not that's not what I'm getting at.#in this mother case ive said before that they tend to make them also mentally ill but lowkey in that#Woman Illness way like yk they're throwing bpd and shit there w/o a fault. like yeah they're abusive but#how come we still get this like freudian-pseudoscience-misogynyesque portrayal like who#does this even benefit (for another post bc I think I left some things out last time).#like this powerful figure over the most weakest stages of a person that's somehow both irremediably#abusive but also by [debilitating female trait weakness here] is pitiable (ie overcome-able. send her ass#to a psychiatric).#like i hope im conveying what I'm trying to say here.#like not all stories abt abuse have to be so graphic in fact some that do can't even carry that#load you're not good or throughout enough for that you don't have that range srry 💀#and the fujimoto part like while yes [rant here abt femcharacter sexualization relative to mcharacs here]#yes makima is already denji's boss/adult(the power dynamic justification part). it's not like denji#is getting femchara of brsrkTM treatments re: assault n grooming (decency part) (not complaining)#again not everything has to be an exercise of self humiliation etc.#but if the puke kiss said at least one thing it was compromise to the portrayal 💀#that and makima just being a internally straightforward offender (not bc it makes things simpler it's that#avoids the hashtag girlabuserTM thing). like nah the way out is through on this one sorry :/#he didn't have to do that but if fujimoto's own personal shortage of self respect nourishes the art well then 💀💀

the forging bonds supports omfg 🥺
#soren#my dear boy#seeing him interacting with himself when he was at his lowest after he's had time to heal and recover from all he went through... my heart#child!soren#really just needs support and someone who can listen even tho he can't say a word... soren and ike taking care of him... uncle ranulf#everything about it#i'm weak over this you don't even know#brave!soren#has grows SO incredibly much and the fact others have remarked on it (ranulf) and that he's being more patient and more tolerant#like yeah he's still got his acerbic and not-quite-approachable personality but he's not just running from everything or pushing it all down#i know i already mentioned ike but omfg seeing his ''feed soren'' instinct pop back out and how reliving that must be so emotionally intense#he's seeing the man he's watched grow and heal so much at his weakest again? knowing he won't forget it this time? FUCK!#i've seen tonnes of people saying how he and soren are basically coparenting him and i love that sm because yeah.gif the little guy needs it#like their b support in por when soren mentions how he never had a parent to help shape who he was or how he never was shown that affection#they know that even if this soren goes back to his world one day that he will go back knowing what it feels like to be loved and cared for#and b!soren basically telling c!soren that he's going to be okay eventually? CRYING IN THE CLUB#sure he didn't say that verbatim but yk. it's gotta hurt a lot to see himself in this position again i don't blame him for being cold to him#fuck!#i could go on#but i will call it here bc i will write an essay nobody asked for#maybe i will anyway in another post#or mayb consider actually posting my writing and put together a lil fic if i'm feeling bold 👀#either way#gabe rambles#fe#feh#fe heroes#cyl 7#fe9/10#nqp

I think I have to really digest it a bit, but generally I really enjoyed ShB!
#spoilers#major spoilers#my opinions abt Eulmore's involvement still mostly stand tho.#I still think Vauthry and co. are the weakest part of the expac and that's before we get into the various Unfortunate Implications#I get the point is to highlight the forces keeping all in Norvrandt from working together for a better future and it works a bit better#in the endgame / but I still think they're *extremely* weak narratively in the early-midgame and there's a lot of...little annoyances#that I can't really ignore. but I've complained abt that enough to my friends already.#I really liked the back half a lot! like I said I liked the overall tone and the gradual development into the Scions being an actual team#that desperately actually care for you as friends rather than 'you're a colleague who gets foisted with all the work' pre-expac feeling#really works and I really enjoyed it. like I said I think I should really mull it around and digest it before I start having strong opinions#maybe get through the post-patches first. I don't know if I'll absolutely sing it's praises like I've seen some posters do but generally#I think it was a pretty strong expac. narratively anyway#sorry it's the writer brain curse I uh. have to sit here and pick it apart piece by piece#one thing in particular I really enjoyed was that no one zone really overstayed its welcome which was an issue in previous ones#(cough cough. ruby sea. cough cough)#saint plays ffxiv

like i think the thing that made jinwoo such a likeable character was the fact that he was weak as shit in the beginning and had no self confidence. and like. i know why suho isnt like that. and its a good thing he isnt like that. unfortunately though it makes him such an unlikable protagonist
#like the reason why solo leveling was so enjoyable was because hes a guy that came from absolutely nothing... scene one of the manhwa#you are told hes the worlds weakest hunter...#suho gets assigned e rank sure but its immediately established despite that that he was never weak...#in order to try and make him have a tragic back story they took away his parents... while also establishing immediately that they are still#alive#like.....#guy who has no money and is constantly about to die in his profession choosing to continue on so he can pay for his moms hospital bills#vs guy who has quite literally had everything handed to him on a silver platter. whos more likeable ill give you one guess#jinwoos personality was also jist better imo. him being mkre laid back made him more like able#manhwa posting

God I forgot how good Pokemon Sun and Moon were.
The like. background alolan sovereignty stuff and the frankly startlingly sensitive discussion of child abuse and the way they entertwine? Team Skull being kids failed by the system, and that social ill giving room for the Aether Foundation to sort of push its way in and establish a hold in Alola to "do good"? The fact that the stuff the Aether Foundation is doing is really good work from a certain perspective, but is also disruptive, controlling, and not in alignment with the Alolan way of doing things? Guzma being abused as a kid, and ending up pushed around and manipulated by Lusamine, an abuser herself, who knows how to push his buttons?
The whole subplot of looking for a champion, which probably would've been Kukui or Guzma if their own hero and rival story hadn't been shattered by the stuff that happened to them? Guy whose dad broke golf sticks over him develops a perfectionist obsessed with being strong enough that nobody can beat him again, and constantly proves to himself he's safe by throwing that strength around? The way their relationship starts to repair when those societal problems start to be addressed?
And then Gladion and Lillie. God. The way Gladion is the older child who figured out what was happening first and got out of there, went no contact, and had to do what he could to stay off the street. The way Lillie is just starting to figure out and unpack the things her mother taught her, and beginning to become braver and show more independence? How her fucking mother DRESSED HER UP AS THE NIHILEGO, and then her big moment is to put together her own trainer-like outfit, to start picking her own clothes?? The way Lusamine treats her pokemon with zero humanity but pretties up and preserves them horrifically for show, the way the Aether Foundation is engaging in torturous unethical experimentation, as metaphors for the way she abuses each of her children???
The ways in which Guzma, Gladion, and Lillie all bond with Pokemon that sort of symbolically resonate with the kinds of abuse they received and the way they learned to deal with it--Guzma picking bugs, traditionally the weakest type, and Wimpod who runs from everything--showing the kindness deep down in him, and the way he grew up to be strong. Gladion, whose pokemon was more overtly abused, and evolves through his care into Silvally who can take on any type the way Gladion is forced to learn how to adapt to being by himself, and then to being a member of the community? And Lillie with Nebby, who starts out weak and defenseless, helpless, imprisoned, and escapes despite that and gets by through relying on other people, until she learns to take care of herself--and her buddy evolves into the legendary that defends the Alola Region from alien threats like her mother????
fuck that game was good. it fit so well with the themes and aesthetics of pokemon. I really wish they'd make more like it.

World Burn (Sylus x Witch!Reader)
Synopsis: The hero sacrificed you for his dreams.
divider: @/rookthornesartistry
a/n: I was listening to Let the World Burn and I thought Sylus was hot.
“Her. I want her.” Sylus declared as he stood in front of the barely alive hero. His voice booming, intensifying the already scorching fire surrounding them. The orange and red embers flickering and dancing, as if mocking. He could have sworn he could hear their spirits laughing, evil, and insulting.
The hero’s once divine visage, full of its glory, is now weakened, bleeding and in pain, kneeling, having no more strength to stand. His right arm was tilted in an awkward angle, broken and unusable. He couldn't even lift his prestigious sword, which he swore he would use to protect the world and slay the villain.
The hero's party failed to kill the villain. They were ambushed, and killed. Most of them died. Except the hero himself and the blood witch.
“If you give her to me I will stop this madness, as you called it.” He paused, contemplating. “You will get back to your king, and claim your title as hero. I will even promise to pretend to be slain and you can get your glory back.”
Sylus stared down at the hero. He cannot help but grin, on the way he saw a glimpse and glimmer of hope in those dark orbs of whom they claimed as righteous.
How pathetic and simple.
“No! Don't listen to him. The villain plays games in people’s minds. You already are a hero!” The blood witch disputed, pale as a ghost she yelled, drained of magic and power.
He chuckled, stomach fluttering on how adorable she looks. She never changed. Still the weakest on discerning the character of allies she puts her trust into. Spectacles broken and cracked. He worries that the glass shards will get to her beautiful brown eyes.
The blood witch and hero are childhood friends. She was scorned and isolated by the town since they do not understand the power she yields. She takes lives to heal. She derives her power from life, and so she was always surrounded by death.
Yet, in the hero’s eyes, he saw potential. A friend, a tool, to whom he can take a journey together and help him achieve his dream as a hero.
She is loyal to him. He is loyal to his dream.
The hero wasn't looking at the blood witch. In fact, Sylus already knew that the hero decided on what path he would walk through.
Sylus understood why.
Although, he knew that the hero is a pathetic and weak minded fool. What the blood witch had done is terrifying, even for his clan.
The hero died. But using her power and the bodies of their party members, she revived him back. It was black magic. Taboo and frightening.
The hero who was revived, had heard the voices and screams of their party members who were used to giving him life. They scream justice, and he watches with a smile how the hero’s mind breaks down and lets go of his strongest ally.
“You…You promise to do that?” The hero opened his mouth to speak. His voice croaked and sickly.
“I do not lie.” Sylus assured.
“How can I trust you to follow on your promise?” The hero asked again.
“The promise using blood cannot be broken.” The villain grinned.
“Wha- What are you doing?” The blood witch was taken aback. Finally realizing that the hero would sacrifice everything for his plans and glory.
Before the witch could stand and stop them, Sylus cut his palm open, and did the same to the hero. The hero hissed in pain. Before he can protest, he clutches their hand to his, and uses his power to seal his promise to the hero.
There was a light, dark, red and murky, surrounding the hero and the villain, until it exploded. The witch was shocked and fell to the ground. She closed her eyes, frightened.
When she finally decided to open her eyes. There was only the villain named Sylus in front of her. The hero, her friend, is nowhere in sight.
“What have you done to him?” She accused him. Her breathing was ragged. Her face devoid of color, contorted in anger.
“I fulfilled our promise. You can feel it, right? He is still alive…. and safe.” He stated as a matter of fact. Dragging the word “safe” before offering a Cheshire grin.
Slowly he walked towards her.
“He…No…No..No, he will not abandon me. The hero is my friend.” Her eyes were wild, as she nodded profusely, trying to convince herself that she wasn't abandoned and left as a sacrifice.
He could smell the fear and pain of betrayal coming off her. Her fears are delicious but the smell of betrayal he despises.
Sylus knew about her. In truth, they were more than acquaintances. He met her when he was just born and knew nothing of his ultimate purpose. He was sickly. And she didn't hesitate to take care of him.
The truth is he was the reason why they found out about her power. She healed him despite knowing the consequences. Her naivety, warmth, kindness, and beauty is her unbecoming.
He always thought her resolve that fateful day was magnificent and beautiful.
He had devoid himself of feeling. But he cannot stop the swell of pride in his chest. Finally, she is with him.
It took a lot. Even of him becoming the villain, just so he could have her.
He crouched down in front of her, excited to see her face up close. By now, she stopped mumbling and blaming herself.
Sylus thought he would see her the same. It was a simple breaking. Nothing to the extreme like he usually does. So he was surprised, then angered, when he saw the look on your face.
Your eyes were devoid of life. Cheeks stained with tears. Mouth trembling. You felt betrayed and miserable.
He is trembling with an unknown feeling of rage.
“My dear dove, you must dry those tears.” He consoles, using his thumbs to remove the fat tears running down her cheeks. She feels cold, like a corpse. She must have exhausted everything just to save an ungrateful dear friend.
“Do not cry for I will make him pay the price of betraying you.” Titling his head to the side, he used his right hand to cup her face and gently help her face him. He gave her a gentle smile.
“What? But he did what you asked him to do. He surrendered me to you.” Her frown was weak. Her will is still not back, but he was glad that she was curious enough to ask him a question. It means, he did not break her fully.
“Yes. But I never promised not to turn his beloved town to ashes, noh? What kind of villain am I if I would just let your traitor, along with the people who scorned you, and called you names scotch free? They say for heroes to be great, they need to be orphaned.” He spoke and beamed at her. Like an innocent little boy, who did not just promise to kill hundreds of people for her. To sully their hands to revenge for her.
It was by then, she finally looked at him. She watches as the flames reflect on his eyes. It swallows everything on its path with no mercy or thought.
She shivered, realizing the inevitable.
