Honestly I see Jimmy's refusal to put Curly out of his misery less about his weird feelings of envy or his delusions but the fact Curly is all but stated to be a shield to Jimmy from his actions and people seeing the worst in him.

The only characters that Jimmy really interacts with one on one before the crash are Curly and Anya, two individuals he has wildly different relationships with. It's likely that Curly really did most of the talking between them as the pilots and the rest of the crew as staff. They didn't know of Jimmy's more reprehensible behaviors cause they never really had the chance to and Jimmy is subconsciously aware. If they had disliked him more than Anya would have told Swansea earlier or even Daisuke when things got really bad.

It's why he takes the immediate opportunity to blame Curly; He's the shield. He's saved Jimmy's ass more times than he can count and more times than Jimmy would ever admit. Even when he can't really do it anymore, he mentally shields himself from his own faults by putting Curly between them. Letting Curly die puts too much on him because he doesn't know how to function without a safety net.

In the end Curly only lives because Jimmy needs the idea that Curly will inevitably make things better to stay alive, meaning Curly has to live, no matter how much it pains him to do so.

really upsets me how often bellamy and lexa are compared and one is torn down to lift up the other within the fandom — but especially how clarke’s character is constantly simplified to who she dates and how you can rarely find stuff about just her and not bellarke or clexa. both ships were used as bait by the shitty director and neither fandom won, clarke was just given more trauma and a terrible end all around.

RAYLLUM S5 MEME:  quotes [1/4] 5x04, “the great bookery”

Rayla, we've been through a lot. And a lot has changed. Well, some things have changed. But... not everything.

Oh and before anyone comes at me saying “you are silencing her” or whatever the hell you like to tell yourself, here’s what I think:

«Taking down baseless, unproven allegations on TikTok/YT isn’t about “silencing victims”... it’s about protecting individuals from the chaos of mob mentality and the very real consequences of unfounded accusations. Posting allegations online, without evidence or due process, turns justice into a popularity contest where public opinion becomes more powerful than the truth. This irresponsible behavior doesn't just harm the accused but fuels online harassment, character assassination, and irreversible damage to reputations. […] People’s lives, careers, and mental health can be severely impacted based on speculation alone. Liam got so much online bullying and harassment. […] It’s reckless to call for public judgment when the facts haven’t been examined in any structured, legitimate way. Sending a C&D letter to silence him… then asking why he won't speak? Really? I call that manipulation at the finest. Demanding that she take down the videos is not about “silencing” anyone; it’s about ensuring that the truth isn’t drowned out by hearsay. When unproven allegations take center stage, it sends a message that public accusations hold more weight than justice itself. And are we ok with that? NO! Victims deserve to be heard, but in a way that’s responsible, FAIR (so two sides are heard not just one), and legally sound». (via X).

what i really want (because i think it would be cool and an interesting way to take phase 3) is skulduggery getting some kind of consequence for what he did as vile

i think it should come from Ghastly (since Tanith knows from their time in dimension X and i feel like she'd probably tell Ghastly) because that's Skulduggery's closest friend and the one who has she most reason to feel betrayed by it. Skulduggery killed his mother and countless of his friends/allies and has hid that from him for literally centuries

i know Skulduggery feels bad and is constantly trying to redeem himself or at least preform some good to make up for all the bad. i'm sure if he was asked by Val why he hasn't confessed he'd say something like "i'd get thrown in jail and i can't make up from it there" but him basically deciding his consequences for himself speaks to his ego and the way he sees himself as above the law, he's decided that trying his best to make up for it while feeling really guilty is suitable enough

also i think it's the comic book fan in me because i want him to get superior spider-maned (for anyone whose read the second run) where he gets unmasked and basically told that no one cares if he's a hero now and putting huge amounts of effort into being a good person because of all the bad stuff he did. something about exvillians trying to redeem themselves while hiding the fact they were villains ??

Not to be Mogarei on main but since Reigen obviously recognized who Mogami was when Dimple said his name, that means he was probably a fan of his. BUT Reigen also says Mogami's downfall happened forty years ago, and Reigen is just a few years shy of thirty in canon, so that means that Mogami was already dead and likely a powerful ghost by the time Reigen was born. So—and hear me out—what if tiny Reigen, obsessed with the Unknown™, sees this psychic on the television and immediately becomes obsessed with him. Even if he's dead, Reigen's seen him do exorcisms on ghosts! So what if he ALSO came back as a ghost?

Cue little ten year old Reigen becoming a detective/ghost hunter, determined to find Mogami Keiji and make him teach him all his cool psychic tricks. (And also maybe get his autograph but that's less important than the psychic thing he swears). And since Reigen is a smart kid, and incredibly impulsive, he actually DOES end up finding Mogami.

Mogami, who is literally in the middle of making one of those rich assholes he killed for in life suffer when this ten year old boy pops up out of nowhere and accosts him. Normally Reigen wouldn't be able to see ghosts, but Mogami's aura is just so oppressive and powerful that it makes him visible even to people who aren't psychic when they're looking for him.

And seeing Reigen talking animatedly and asking questions and being so excited that he's found him and that he gets to talk to him and can he pretty pretty please sign Reigen's backpack it's so so important here he has a marker you can use—well, it kind of,,,,snaps Mogami out of the whole murderous rage thing. Not COMPLETELY, absolutely not ever completely because he was very murderous even when he was alive, but in the moment Mogami is just kinda. godsmacked. bewildered. confuzzled. It's been so long since he talked to a fan, let alone a child, and it reminds him of what he used to be like. The man he used to be.

Rich Asshole™ gets to live for the moment, because Mogami sits down with Reigen and talks with him instead. Luxuriating in feeling like his old self again. Someone good. Someone worthy of admiration.

And of course, Reigen isn't stupid. He's naive but he's not ignorant; he absolutely did his research and he knows that Mogami killed people. He knows that Mogami was likely going to kill that guy he was possessing before Reigen showed up. But he saw him stop. Saw him have mercy on the man he hated so he could talk to Reigen instead. And this puts the hope in Reigen that he can be fixed. That he can get better. And Reigen, who admires the man on TV who said inspiring words and gave beautiful displays of psychic power, wants to help him to do that. He is very determined to do so now, actually. He wants to redeem Mogami.

And he can't, of course! Not completely! Probably not even halfway! :D

But Mogami hangs around. They're friends now. And if Mogami goes off and gets his revenge whenever he's not with little Reigen, well, he just makes sure those deaths never make the news.

By the time Mob shows up, however, Mogami has probably chilled out a bit. Probably. Just don't try taking him away from Reigen. He bites.

How the fuck can you expect a driver to fairly fight to keep his seat, and to improve and become a better more consistent driver, when you're punishing him for his teammates mistakes?????? All this does is show Logan that at the end of the day that the faith you day you have in him doesn't exist

dana terrace knows how fandoms work. she knows if you show ppl even the barest hint of an m/f couple, especially one involving an angsty white boy, ppl will jump on that shit like rabid dogs and itll completely overshadow whatever queer rep you want ppl to actually pay attention to. that’s why she introduced hunter the way she did. first they have an episode where luz gets kissed by a girl and it’s made clear to the audience that they’re on track to be each others love interests. and only then does she introduce hunter’s angsty blond YA love interest looking ass.

and even then they tried SUPER hard to hammer in how much hunter is NOT luz’s love interest. they make luz lean in as if she was going to kiss him and then smack him to show that she isn’t going to. and then they do that thing where hunter licks luz’s hand and luz wipes it on his face. which is something that has been memed to death with siblings. just so the audience immediately understands what kind of dynamic the show wants these two to have. if they skipped any of these steps they were worried the fandom would see luz have a close relationship with a conventionally attractive white boy and start foaming at the mouth for this ship to replace lumity. maybe if disney saw a boy and a girl who aren’t immediately sibling coded they’d also start foaming at the mouth for it to replace lumity. so the crew had to play it safe.

anyway my point is i hope the crew also knows what they’re doing with the huntlow ship. idk what they’re setting up but if the huntlow ship gets together and it’s not wedged between a full 10 minute clip of the raeda wedding and a full 10 minute clip of a sappy slice of life lumity date then every toh related tag is going to be INSUFFERABLE and i hope dana knows it.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗯 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗲'𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆. And it is excruciating. On his chest, one can trace its ugly mark, the brand less discoloration and more, unfortunately, a deep-grooved scar. It is unavoidable and impossible to ever miss. Similarly, the way it eats at him is obvious, too. Gale, especially at the start, when his condition, fresh and disorienting, was still abundantly new, the effects of the orb were frighteningly worse. At that time, he little knew how to quell it, that feeding off the Weave would balm the pain, and so for all those days and weeks of panic, he rotted and ached at a terrible pace. He had decayed. And he had bled. Gale's body oozed black, skin, especially at his casting arm, rupturing like cracks in terracotta. He tasted filth always, the bitterness of wasting flesh thick in his throat, nose perpetually leaking with the ink-dark of bleeding. He'd labored to breathe, a feeling like devouring maggots pulsing in his chest. In fact, at the lowest point by then, wallowing and stuck in his tower, Gale began to lose hair, his nails loose and cracking as he scrabbled at the floorboards, knees weak and pain bolting when he collapsed to the floor. He was a pitiful sight. And a worrying one. And even now, with the consumption of magical artefacts, one can still see the way he bows to the blight, heaving for breath when it takes his chest again, sweat at his temples and mouth gone dry. It's all-encompassing. The agony is chronic. It feels like being eaten, being hollowed to his barest self right from the inside. He's a vessel of magic, and the orb means to consume him down to his every last molecule, teeth bared, hackles raised, and appetite crushing. It's like--dying, stolen away to be but swallowed down whole, surrendering to the suck of a hungering vortex. He's unsightly. As well, too, as a burden, he thinks, to the very naked of his bones. But when someone hangs back, touches him despite his rot, he thinks, you shouldn't have to handle something like this. This mere shamble of a graveyard--he's so sorry to dirty their hands.

men can make jokes about wanting to fuck kids and make jokes about performing oral sex on a sixteen year old or joke about how they masturbate or joke about the idea of them fucking their decade older friend or say they’re legal when they’re sixteen and then double down and talk about how he can totally fuck when he’s sixteen so it’s not weird or make said sixteen year old say that they love them in private or joke about a colleague raping a thirteen year old girl and then deny literally all of that and claim the sixteen year old came onto him and is the one to blame because he also made sex jokes and get away with it while women who are survivors of grooming can go “huh it sure is good that people this year aren’t raping children” and then they get called the one making fun of victims. you can laugh about a thirteen year old getting raped if you’re a dude and then just go “well i didn’t mean it like that 🥺” even though there’s no other way it makes sense in context but if a girl makes a joke about her own grooming and doesn’t stay silent forever then good heavens how dare those uppity bitches mention that there’s a problem with abuse in an industry there might be children watching! male children, because who gives a shit about girls. this is just blatant misogyny. you all fucking hate women and you hate victims but you especially hate women who are victims. I’m sick and tired of this blatant, violent misogyny being normalised in this community.
