#does this make any sense??

thinking about the first time i watched the scene where nat rests her head on lottie’s lap and lottie sees the shadow of the antlers and i thought that it was nat bringing back lottie’s memories of the wilderness and being antler queen but now we know nat was antler queen its SO MUCH BETTER because nat was at her most vulnerable in the wilderness, so whenever lottie sees nat being vulnerable she can’t help but see her as the version of herself she was out there

I think one of my favorite aspects of Longlegs was Lee's voice. Obviously a large part of it is Maika Monroe's natural voice and all, but the way she performed it made Lee's voice sound almost. Childish at times? If that makes sense. Like the inflection she used and the way she delivered her lines and the emotions behind them all had this vulnerable youth to them.

And I just think it goes really well with both the themes of the movie and Lee as a character, as a way to show that this awful thing that happened to her as a child (that she doesn't even remember!!) has permanently and irreparably stagnated her as a person.

Thinking about how Mimzy and Alastor's friendship tells so much about Al. The way she comes to him for safety because she knows he will deal with a problem she has but can't take care of, and indeed he does (and the way she approaches him later on implies this has happened before, and he was okay with that; same with what Husk said about Mimzy). He enjoys her friendship (he might not fancy people a lot, but I think he is rather picky and actually enjoys company; Mimzy isn't the only example either). But when it comes to putting the Hotel into danger, he warns her. And it surprises Mimzy. It proves that he likes having company, but when it comes to his own plans or anything similar, he is not afraid to draw a line or even hurt them.

(I didn't rewatch the episode recently, so correct me if I made any mistakes, please.)

i have a question about ur mr. ronin au! does raph like, really wants his approval and stuff? like does he wanna impress him but like gets shy about it?

they're all like that actually! but raph would be more hesitant about it

ronin tends to dote more on raph tho!, 1) because donnie was autistic and he knows how to deal with autism which really helps raph's childhood (splinter is learning thanks to ronin) and 2) his big brother was strong til the very end he wants this version of his big brother to not have to be strong for everyone and basically helping raph in all the ways he wished he could for his brother!

i think its just as dangerous to overestimate someone as it is to underestimate them.

people thinking that quinn was too easily caught have forgotten how long its taken. its taken 2 years just to track him down. someone was killed during his arrest and others were injured, and he has had countless victims. i don't think it was too easy, i think that quinn got cocky. i think that quinn overestimated his own power and hold. i think that if quinn thought he got caught, he could get out of it one way or another. and when he realized that he wasn't getting out of it so easily (which, for all we know, his maker could still pull some strings and get him just a slap on the wrist) he decided to take the opportunity to continue being an abusive prick. quinn is grasping at straws, i don't think he would have done what he did if he thought he was getting out of this. quinn isn't stupid, but he is arrogant and i think that was his downfall

They are literally the one ruled by the heart and the other ruled by the head trope!

Yes!!! Also like...

Emily feeling things so, so deeply, but always keeping herself reigned in and realistic and never acting on impulse.

JJ being rational and distant, but then acting on impulsive bursts of explosive emotion!

Emotional until level-headed vs level-headed until emotional!!!

would HRT affect an alpha, omega, or betas scent based on the hormone being taken???

how quickly did missy start getting into shit she wasn't supposed to be able get into (like the cabinets and shit) as a baby

the most she could get into is like, random stuff that's stuffed in the van. I think it probably took a short amount of time, it's a very "mime had to leave for school + work and shifty isn't a responsible father" moment, leaving her to literally go wherever and do whatever

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

Listen. Were Jackie n Shauna in love with each other? Absolutely. But I feel like it was a requited unrequited typa love. Like. Mutually one sided.

i think having my guts rearranged (not sexually) would solve at least one (1) of my problems.

I think that one thing people fail to understand is that unsolicited literary criticism coming from an online stranger who is reading with no knowledge of what the authors intended goal is, is not going to be received the same as say: the authors beta reader or friends who know what the authors intended goal and has the sufficient knowledge and input to help the author reach that desired outcome.

"But I'm only trying to be helpful" How do I know you have the knowledge and literary skill for you to be able to actaully do that when we don't know each other and you are essentially a stranger to me? Are you applying this criticism based out of personal biased experience and desire to see the story or characterization be driven in another direction or tweaked, or do you know the author's intentions for the character? If the story is incomplete, are you basing your criticism of a character on the incomplete narration with only partial information available of them or are you building up a report until the story's completion? Did the author provide you with the information needed to make a fully informed criticism?

Have you discussed with the author what their plans are or are you assuming them based off the narration, especially if the narration is proven or implied to be unreliable or missing key points of the plot? Are you unbiased enough to help them reach their desired outcome for the characters and story regardless of your personal feelings towards the characters/antagonists and setting? Can you handle being told your specific input isn't wanted because you're a reader and/or have no written anything relating to their genre or topic? Do you understand and respect that the author's personal experiences might influence their writing and make it different than how you would have done it personally? Do you understand if an author only wants input from a specific demographic relating to their story?

If it's for fanfiction or other hobby media, are you holding a free hobby to a professional standard? Are you trying to give criticism because you feel like the author has produced 'subpar job performance' of their fic? Are you viewing their work as a personal intimate outlet or something that must conform with mass media? Are you applying rules and guidelines when the fic is shared for simple sharing sake? Is your criticism worded appropriately and focused on the parts where the author has requested input on rather than a general dismissal and or disapproval?

Have you put yourself in a place where you assumed you have the input needed for the story to evolve better, or have you asked what the author needs and what they're having trouble with? Can you handle having your criticism rejected if the author decides their story doesn't need the change and not take it as a personal offense against your character? Are you crossing that boundary because you think you are doing the author a favor? Are you trying to be helpful, or do you just want to be?

I think sometimes when people hear authors go 'please don't give me unsolicited writing advice or criticism' they automatically chalk it up to 'this author doesn't want ANY constructive feedback on their stuff at all' and not "i already have trusted individuals who will help me with my writing goals and- hey i don't know you like that, please stop acting so overly familiar with me'
