What the fuck was that

This is the only thing I'm going to say about the election until it's over:

Anyone who did not vote for Harris or who attempted to dissuade people from voting for Harris, you are indirectly responsible for whatever shit Donald Trump does if he gets elected. That blood is primarily on his hands, yes. But it is also on yours. I hope you can live with that because I sure as hell wouldn't be able to.

As someone who loves both Kenny and Violet, I feel like I’ve found my calling here 😭😭😭

They’re genuinely so similar, and I do agree that the fandom has male bias, as well as protagonist bias actually

Clementine has the opportunity to befriend/romance Violet and then let her get kidnapped 20 minutes later. And for Violet, that is the most obvious feeling of betrayal! I don’t understand why people in the fandom struggle to realize that their actions have consequences

Lee can basically hate Kenny the entirety of the first season and then the fandom defends Kenny for his actions.

Clearly most of us totally understand Kenny’s response to Lee’s and by extension Clementine’s behavior, so why can’t they understand Violet’s response to Clem’s? Makes no sense to me

honestly i feel like aside from having a male bias the fandom has more of a kenny bias than a protag bias. i see his ass EVERYWHERE. CONSTANTLY. some people act like he raised clem as much as lee did 😭 (and i dont like the way the fandom talks about clem sometimes 😒 ties into the "weird about women" stuff)(and javi? wheres javi? i would like to see more javi. i actually think i see david more than javi)

anyway. i DO find kenny to be a compelling character and understand Why hes popular. its why i initially thought vi would be more popular among those fans! people who like both kenny and vi i can trust to have understood the assignment 💀 because they really do share similarities. but things some people LOVE kenny for they absolutely LOATHE violet for. and its just???? whats not clicking???

i really dont understand why some people act So Shocked by violets reaction in the cells. like hello?? YOU did this to her??? shes done nothing but put herself on the line for clem (even if clem is mean and ungrateful about it), and the One time vi needs clem to have her back, she doesnt (even tho its an impossible choice to make, and deep down vi understands this). and people shock pikachu face when it pushes her back to minnie like no shit??? but i dont think theyre even paying attention to violets character in the first place so 🙄😑 violet settled into that leadership position on her own and not only do you strip her of that role by letting her get taken she also feels discarded by the One Person who was actually influencing her to change for the better in the first place. AND you can do it all 20 minutes after kissing her. of course shes hurt!!! but people act like shes soooo unreasonable for her behavior (and vi would later agree with them! she tries apologizing to clem on the beach actually. thats how quickly she regrets it. but its too late at that point for her i guess 🙄 irredeemable. to the stocks)

kenny will Literally refuse to help lee look for clem if you pissed him off too much like 😭?? if you arent kissing kennys ass 24/7 he is the worlds biggest bitch about it. but endless excuses for kennys behavior for some reason 🤨 him trying to save ben (or christa but its better with ben narratively) is his first Real selfless act and its why its such a compelling conclusion for his S1 arc (only compounded by the fact its BEN of all people hes trying to save, the reason his family is dead). and S2 kenny is all about how his mental health is in sharp decline and hes becoming more violent as he attempts to control what he cannot 💀 kenny defenders out here using up all the oxygen in the room to make excuses for his actions but the minute vi makes One mistake she immediately regrets (after being nothing but loyal), shes an evil bitch deserving of what she got 😐

gee i wonder why 😭😔

Something I love about ATLA is that it doesn't force the "forgive the villain" on all the characters. It's been left clear that Ozai is a bad person, and there's no chance of redemption; the only reason he's not dead yet is because Aang is a pacifist

The one episode where a character is supposed to forgive someone who has hurt them in the past is the one where Katara is off to kill a man (which, fair) and Zuko helps. In that episode, even if Aang is telling her to let go, she doesn't forgive him. She never will. But she spares him. Not because she thinks he doesn't deserve death (he does), but because she's not willing to continue the cycle of violence

Killing someone can have a very important impact in your entire being, mostly depending on who you are as a person. Aang would've never recovered from killing Ozai. Katara wouldn't be who she is now, had she taken her revenge on the man that killed her mother

And the best part of it is that Ozai doesn't deserve to die. Not in a "I'm defending him" way (ew), but in a "he deserves worse that than" way

Taking away his bending was the perfect punishment for him. He believed bending made you superior and he never cared enough to train something besides his bending. What a loser. Zuko and Azula wouldn't be restrained by something like that

He's alive. Nobody has forgiven him. Nobody ever will

Me watching Horikoshi butcher every character not named Katsuki Bakugou:

[eternalgirlscout]

it's so fucked up that serizawa is from mob psycho because in any other show he'd be my beautiful princess with a disorder but he's being drowned out by the fact that every single other character is also perfect no notes and most of them I've known longer

[carefulfears]

what do you consider the heart of californication? like really carries through the series & makes it compelling

thank you for this question, i really love it. to me, it's a number of things, starting with that the show cares deeply about hank and takes him seriously in a way that the culture doesn't. in a way, yes, he's their dog and pony show with the funny one-liners and the salacious pull. but the arc of the series is unequivocally aligned with him and his desires and his needs and his values.

hank wants to be with his family, wants to be better for them, wants to not let them down- and the show needs him to fail at all of those things. for the dog and pony of it all, for their viewership and for their thesis and for the food in their mouths, but it simultaneously feels bad that he is failing. simultaneously knows that this isn't what he wants, and that it's sad. and it can be as simple as a dream sequence or a look or a quiet final scene, but every single episode is ultimately going to remind you that everything you're laughing at is a loss.

which, like i said at the top, speaks to a level of respect that the show had for the character that is just gone in discussions of the series. they take the time to recognize that he is missing something. he is losing something and he is without everything that means anything to him, this is the cost. equally important, duchovny respects that character and understands the same.

i was listening to an interview last night (trish you heard this) where he was speaking with some podcast dudebros and one of the hosts said that he always wanted to be just like hank moody, and then he made some "bad decisions" and got there, and he doesn't like it. and duchovny said that every time people come up to him saying "i'm just like hank moody," he says "i'm sorry."

men watch and they want to be just like hank moody and women watch and they want to fuck hank moody so bad, and all of you miss what the source comprehends: that it's an irreparable deficit.

other than that, i feel like what roots that show is that it really isn't all that cynical. not in the way that it could be. and the show believes in hank.

there is a lot of kindness and hope (often false hope) that runs underneath most every relationship and interaction and dynamic in the series and i really really appreciate that about it. it's like in the pilot when hank is being mean and he wants marcy to yell at him and she just says "go home, honey. sleep it off. tomorrow's another day."

there's always a little bit of understanding and grace amongst the crazies and i think there's something really special about that

Despite everything on the cannon

I hope there's times Wade calls Weasel alone at night.

And I hope there's times Weasel pick up.

[junipum]

when he goes to rehab because he hallucinated an entire day/few days with you and his first instinct is to yell to the entire hospital that he slept with you when he in fact Did Not and you STILL GO AND DATE HIM. what . girl you know better cmon. self care treat yourself

[smalltowncryptidfucker]

I think we should have less stories about “local kid who gets routinely abused by their entire family/community all their life for being a little weird, earns the family/community’s respect after doing something world-changing,” and more stories about “local kid who gets routinely abused by their entire family/community for being a little weird, burns everything to the ground because people who abuse children for being different in a way that’s out of their control, should burn in hell, and kids who get treated like this deserve to go insane long enough to dish out justice.”

(Also I’m not going through anything rn, I’m very normal about this LMAO.)

As a close friend I've been staying with has just informed me about a positive test, I feel like now is as good a time as any to mention:

Don't forget that covid still exists and people are getting sick with it constantly, and if you don't take measures to prevent the spread (such as, just for example: wearing a mask, social distancing, and avoiding crowded areas EVEN IF YOU "DON'T FEEL SICK" (and ESPECIALLY if you do)) then I do partially blame you as part of the problem when people continue getting sick...!!! And I can't say for sure that I'll ever forgive you for it!! It is a BAD THING to not take these safety measures nowadays...! I want to think at least MOST of my friends take safety precautions as much as possible, but I feel like that's probably wishful thinking. I know I've had

I am so, so, so unbelievably fucking tired of people who act like covid doesn't exist anymore, going around and behaving as though being unsafe doesn't have anything to do with covid coming for their family and their friends and coworkers and community members. Like yeah, we SHOULDN'T have to wear a mask constantly, just for a quick trip out! We SHOULDN'T have to alter or change or completely cancel plans in order to eliminate risk...! I don't want to do those things either! I WANT to go out to the movies, and to parties, and to concerts, or even just to eat at a restaurant, or visit my friends. I WANT to be able to work an in person job without it being a direct THREAT to my life...!! And I want my friends to be able to live in the same comfort. I want everybody who's 'living their life' or whatever to not have that be a risk, either. I want to live my life too, but people who don't do their part are the reason that it's never safe enough for ME to do it, and the reason that I always have 3 or more friends who are sick at any given time.

TMA RELISTEN — MAG 154

Spoilers, duh !

Ohhhh my god. Genuinely I was tearing up a bit at the end when hearing just how badly Jon wanted the chance to get out of there with Martin.

Honestly, the way this is going ? They really should not at all be surprised if Jon does end up going the more monster-y route. Whenever he goes off and does something reckless on his own, he gets chastised. Now when he goes to the one person he trusts most, he still practically gets chastised and gets told that he's acting insincerely.

I love Martin very much, but the fact that he's saying that Jon came to him for an out is genuinely baffling to me. I don't know if he genuinely believes that or if he is trying to convince himself of that, but Jon would 100% gouge his eyes out if Martin gave him the go-ahead. The guy got a rib ripped out and cut his own finger off. Gahhhh Martin is so incredibly frustrating this season (and many characters are throughout the show, but that's just how it is) and I know he's locked into this path already so there's no changing his mind but goddamn. This one was rough. Worried about them all :(

I recently finished reading the Naruto manga for the first time (it took, like, a month) and I honestly don’t trust anybody who hates Sakura and/or calls her useless.
