"Vi made the choice to become an enforcer!" "Vi finally chose herself and her happiness when she decides to go down on cait!" "Vi's reclaiming her trauma by fucking in a jail cell!" "Vi let cait hit her that one time while they were forming a plan!"

Vi's literally got the psychology of an abuse victim dude...stop using her fucked up self esteem and lack of boundaries to justify why this ship isnt toxic

earlier today someone i was discussing beetlejuice with via dms brought up beetlejuice going to juilliard and at first i thought "oh yeah, that had to be him talking bullshit since he wasn't even alive by that point"

but then i was like. hold up.

he's been a ghost for 600 years. what's stopping us from guessing that he could've spent some time roaming the realm of the living just because someone didn't "put him back" or some other reason, like. maybe he did get to attend juilliard and people didn't even realize he was a ghost. just a really fucking creepy and stinky guy.

much to think about..........

it's actually so funny and telling that the champion of the strife emperor is working with the volition and opposing the imperium. RIP to bane, I know you love a good imperium, a hot conquest, sexy war and subjugation and tyranny. alas this time the conquest, war, subjugation, and tyranny will KILL YOU, and so here we are. working with freedom fighters, of all things. oh how the mighty fall

Tiny Boy just wants to be Creative and will, in fact, risk being haunted for the chance to play.

Tiny Boy did not realize he was also risking Serious Physical Harm to do so.

Tiny Boy willing to risk both Haunting and Serious Physical Harm in order to play jazz music.

Tiny Boy says Right Words to save himself without even knowing.

Tiny Boy is gonna change everyone around him.

Trying to understand Otto a little more, and this scene is a good exercise. We have a Viserys who is frustrated because Rhaenyra is being a broody teen and he doesn't get why... (maybe because you married her homoromantic best friend idk). He doesn't know how to manage the marriage proposals, which is traditionally the wife's duty, and obviously Otto jumps in to help him.

My first thought about the expression Otto makes was him thinking: “I couldn’t relate LESS” but to be serious for a minute, I think he’s probably thinking “Well, aren’t you in a position to decide what happiness looks like for Rhaenyra, in the long term?”

I do think Otto believes that about Alicent, that the choices he is making for her and the things he's commanding her to do will lead to her happiness. The ambitious mind of a Hightower, Lord Hand, obviously prioritizes having his blood in the royal line, for him that equals happiness. So her feelings and wants and ideas of happiness don't really matter, cause "father knows best". And I think this is actually a good representation of shitty parenting, thinking that your child can be molded into a specific ideal of what the future should look like, in a lot of cases even getting into heights you couldn't reach yourself, and thus fulfill your dreams. Yes, Otto we know you wanted to marry Viserys, get in line Daemon also wanted to.

No, but really, in the next moment, he says that Aegon should marry Rhaenyra and in that way reconcile his desires with Viserys', thinking of their children and grandchildren as no more than pieces on the board. Full circle moment when Alicent literally points out this to Otto in 1x09, beautiful.

Otto shows his love by carefully laying a path before Alicent, with what he believes to be happiness at the end. Is it love, though? For him, it is. We have to ask Alicent, though. That love probably feels like feeding a little bird in a cage , asking her to happily sing the tune of her heart, and complaining when the bird wallows in her misery.

God I forgot how much people used bluenette completely unironically in otherwise serious fanfics

thinking about leon dealing with sensory depravation and how all that training would probably fly out the window.

say he's blindfolded. he definitely wouldn't be happy, but (with the headcanon of him having crazy good senses) he's got his hearing. he just needs to keep calm and use what he has. easy. well, uh, not really, but yknow.

he's probably been tied up enough times to tolerate it. blindfold is just the last thing on the list to get him antsy. but he can handle it. life is a pain in the ass sometimes. and. damn if his life ain't.

but encasing his whole head in a fuckin gimp hood. or something else entirely. whether or not he can still hear, i imagine that level of restriction would freak him the fuck out.

a fun one, noise cancelling headphones/music blasted in his ears. disorienting and fun. :3c

AND to add another layer of suffering. if he wasn't already on the verge of a panic attack, tighten that collar a little more and he probably would be very very very unhappy. tight enough to feel that squeeze in his cheeks and his forehead. but loose enough to still breathe (until he leans forward too far and cuts off his own oxygen, rip)

Characters who need to make themselves believe the ends justify the means. Forcing it down their throat, again and again and again. Till its second nature, till its addiction. And maybe the ends don't feel so pressing anymore, cus who knew the means could be so good.

I think sometimes we need to remember a books context

[girlivealwaysbean]

What if Crowley kisses Aziraphale gently, gently. Soft. Reverent. Like he is a pleasure to be savored, adored, to be treasured as long as possible.

What if Aziraphale kisses Crowley passionately. Savage. Carnal. Half-starved, mad with thirst, unsatiable, like he could never have enough of him. What if God killed me then

Them: oh, I didn’t really like Parasite

Me: is it because you were crushed by the ending? About how the son is driven to strive, hopelessly, endlessly, fruitlessly, to achieve financial success, represented literally by a house, so he can rescue his father? How the trap of generational poverty and trauma is shown as bleakly as a flooding basement and a bloody, bruised forehead???

Them: no I just don't like reading subtitles
