elena thinks conquering the chaos will reveal the true nature of everything to her and lila is aware of chaos as the one true nature even when she tries to conquer it. the girl who owes her life to words and numbers and the girl who owes her life to the sky and the sea and they are both afraid of being swallowed by their life source because they're at the mercy of these forces... it's how elena loves her books so much she can't stand that her life revolves around them and it's how lila learns to swim so quickly and spends too much time in the water, but she is the one to turn back home and away from the sea. and it's also how lila's greatest source of comfort is little women, a book, and her computers that she initially built out of paper and numbers and it's how elena's greatest source of comfort is the sea and how she shines and blossoms by the water and how her mother took her to the beach way before lila and her tried to see it as kids... lila is the sea and elena learned how to swim first and elena is the books and lila was the first one to learn how to read...

There's something about both innocent and punished Hunter having the same scar on their face that just makes me sooooo ofjkskakakfjgjekakd. like, we have innocent who was once Mike's best friend, who is still an ally when the circumstances align, and then we have punished who is absolutely not an ally or a friend, who has gotten into physical fights with Mike who was even killed when a fight got that intense, and who is often thought of by Mike as the most cruel and they both have the same identifying feature.

Thinking about how Catra and Adora's trauma shaped them in very different ways today. Adora was shoved into the role of Protector, of being a leader, of having to look out for everyone. So of course she developed a stronger need to worry about other people, often at the cost of herself. Meanwhile Catra was put in a position where barely anyone liked her, where everyone picked on her and she was never really given a reason to worry about them, because she had to worry about herself first. Any attempt to help other people got her hurt, and she was taught from a very young age that you need to look out for yourself and the few people you find that are Safe.

It's not a matter of "which one is Inherently a better person", it's a matter of them being put into different roles shaped them in different ways. Adora was raised to be a shield and a weapon, taught to never care about herself ONLY other people, Catra was taught from a young age that nobody cared about her and that everything was dangerous. Do I make sense here

Line for you to find:

“It’s yet another reason I didn’t want to involve my family. I’ve never done anything I didn’t believe in—but that doesn’t mean I haven’t crossed hard lines.”

I have to concede this one to you, Mr. Pyren. I knew I recognized it, but I couldn't place it even after over half and hour of brainstorming. Because I got it in my head that it was an Alden quote, but when I couldn't find it I went to the internet to double check, and unfortunately it showed me the page number, so I ruined the test </3

alas! it is so obvious now that I've gotten past the Alden thing! but I think it's no surprise I missed the lodestar quote, that book mysteriously vanishes from so many memories

I keep thinking about this one-off line Sen. Shockwave says - "I like to find things that are lost." - in relation to ShockLine and it's making me unwell

Shockwave, who would later be brought what's assumed to be a corpse, discover the spark inside barely clinging to life, and bring it back from the brink. Flatline sticks around out of gratitude towards the bot who rebuilt his body, and in doing so, is able to recover his sense of purpose.

I literally truly and honestly cannot fathom creating The Force Awakens, from the score to the cinematography to the costumes to the editing, and then being like “nah Rey isn’t Luke’s daughter”

it feels like 90% of the notes on my ray toro post come from people w gerard pfps or urls like d3adliest2lead or threecheerrssss and while it does make sense i guess it's also very funny to me it's like that guy at the tattoo convention who said WOAH i love spiderman while wearing the shirt that said i love spiderman

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

the whole seeking peace after trauma aspect to io has become such a big facet of them over recent years. it's the end goal for them, to finally and completely take their life out of the hands of the people who have puppeted it both from the start (venadeus) and for centuries (col, the hounds). io is, as it stands, in a permanent state of 'can't grieve yet' and the closure to finally start grieving and live their own life completely and wholly comes in a cascade after they finally admit to themself that there is no redeeming col and that something must be done for good. col still living is why io is in their permanent grief limbo. and of course there is the problem that venadeus has considered io nothing but a tool for himself since the moment they were conceived, but io ends the venadeus line with themself, once and for all. they hate that they were always meant to be a sacrificial lamb, but becoming the next and final venadeus gives them the things they've desired and a means to fully become themself. they get power - they get so much power as to practically be untouchable, and with it they simply seek the peace that had been taken from them centuries ago. it's hard getting there, admittedly, resurrecting as a god is something they have to claw through tooth and nail, but the end makes it worth it.

I just rewatched Contact and that film is so sacred and profane coded to me. I could write so much about it. Alas. Whomst has the time.
