One thing that I like about sxf is that despite being a shonen (with not a teenager protagonist), Endo makes Twilight hot and very capable, but at the same time, make it hard for fans to give him harem.

Like, Endo does create lots of awesome women, but it is clear that Twilight has no (romantic) interest at them at all.

Karen?

Twilight didn't even bat an eye. Dumped her just like that

Nightfall?

Twilight clearly never see her more than colleague and mentee. He even despise the idea of their cover story as married couple

How about older woman? Handler??

Twilight clearly afraid respects her as older sister boss and mentor. And that's that.

The City Hall women who swoon at him?

Twilight imagine them as evil and despicable.

The only woman who can make him making lots of expressions, such as:

Devastated and confused

Flustered

Melancholic

Proud

Lovestruck Skipping a heartbeat

And truly smile

Is just Yor.

Love it 🥰

the whole “collect my pages” slenderman meme being attributed to slender himself drawing the pages and placing them for people to find truly goes to show that men will always take credit for women’s work smh

Okay so for the first few episodes of Ahsoka I was like BLEGH what is this?? she's so serious and melancholy? Her lightsaber fights are so boring? Where are the acrobatics? Where are the dumb jokes and nicknames?? Where is my girl, you've ruined her??

BUT THEN THE FLASHBACKS

THE LIGHTSABER FIGHTS FELT LIKE THE CLONE WARS

SHE LOOKED AND ACTED LIKE AHSOKA

AND SHE CAME BACK AND SUDDENLY SHE WAS SMILEY?? AND SASSY?? AND JUST SEEMED SO MUCH LIGHTER??

Filoni you mad lad I had my doubts but you've done it again

Okey so my personal headcanon: this but with Red and Ramona.

Red didnt have a very good mother which is why she's trying to be better mom for her daughters and to be there for them.

The cycle of generational trauma pased from mother to daughter ends with her. Shes determend with it.

And i hate don't like when she's pictured in fics as distant from Ramona or favors Cerise. No. She loves them both equally.

Ramona is her firstborn and Cerise is her baby. No matter how old they are they will always be her little girls.

Do people forget that Annabeth gave up immortality for Percy first??

I find it a little poetic that, usually, plays have 5 acts, but isat has 6. And the sixth one is responsible for breaking the cycle. Like telling the viewer that "hey, it's not over. Your life isn't theatre. So go out and live."

She's silly;;;

[liquidstar]

crazy take: aside from actual lesbian romance stories, obviously, nothing passes the bechdel test better than moe "cute girls doing cute things" anime. its always just a group of girls, few to no named male characters, boys and dating are hardly ever brought up beyond the abstract, if at all. like we're focusing on the girls hanging out rn, we dont need to worry abt that shit. mugi just ate mio's strawberry.

I know it’s said often, but in my case I genuinely mean it- I really love the small community I’ve been able to find and create. Major emphasis on it being small. That way I feel like I’ve been able to connect with a lot of you. I see certain usernames pop up and I immediately recognize it. I like that. I like being able to do that. It was never my intention to really have anything like this at all but I’m so grateful how things worked out! Thank you guys honestly. With that said, I do aim to keep it this size lol. Hence why I hardly ever tag stuff properly aside from just keeping my blog sorted. Finding Lykaia is meant to be like finding a hidden gem orrrrr dumpster diving and finding one really odd piece of trash. Idk depends on your preference.

hey guys. did you know I like season two episode eleven - fear her from the hit tv show doctor who? hey guys. h

People still saying that Sansa is weak/passive/stupid is so weird to me, especially on re-read.

Like no?? This twelve-year-old child is being held hostage and abused on a regular basis after seeing her father get killed. She has to learn how to behave and predict Joffrey’s moodswings so that she doesn't get abused more. She's courteous, yes, and holds her tongue - because she's more oft than not in a very dangerous situation.

She definitely learns slowly, largely because she's learning all on her own based on her experiences, informed by what people say & what they experience. She's analytical, especially in ASOS iirc, and iirc she actually becomes quite suspicious of almost every little thing in that book. She's gradually learning what works and what doesn't, and how best to survive in dangerous situations.

And she definitely isn't passive. She verbally says she hates Joffrey and that she wants Robb to kill him (“maybe my brother will give me your head"). She also saves Ser Dontos' life, speaks back to Joffrey on a number of occasions, calms the women when even Cersei has lost her shit during the Battle of Blackwater, confronts the Hound, and attempts to run away when it's apparent that she’s about to be forced into marrying Tyrion. On top of that, she resists Lannister propaganda and manipulation internally, consistently thinking about how much she hates the Lannisters and how she misses her siblings. That's not a passive person. That's an abused girl trying to survive whilst resisting their efforts to break her.

Okay, I had never seen "Footloose" until now (idk I was 3 when it came out).

The original is a pretty silly movie about a very serious thing.

The remake is terrible. They somehow forgot to focus on the preacher and his many crises of faith and principle? which is the entire fucking point of the original? I mean, they made A LOT of missteps [heh] (like, I actually entirely forgot about Chuck between the last time we saw him and when he showed up at the end), but deleting the book burning entirely is a big one. Did they decide that was too outlandish in modern times? Oh, the innocent Obama years.

Miles Teller is delightful but not enough to carry the whole terrible movie by himself.

I feel like there's a weird thing about 80s movies in particular -- and remember I had never seen the original before, so it isn't just nostalgia talking here -- where even a kind of silly, kind of stupid movie, is still filled with a very real humanity and a quiet pathos. It isn't just the acting. The script was better. The editing was better. Say less, show more. Watching John Lithgow repeatedly, silently, see himself through others' eyes and realize there is a line even he doesn't want to cross and that he is dangerously close to it. THAT'S what the movie is about. HE'S the hero.

The hero isn't the new kid. The movie isn't about dancing.

But I LIVE for any montage set to "Let's Hear It For the Boy" bc I fucking love that song, and have ever since the days of DTV. More Barbie Karaoke please

Tumblr and Twitter really are two different environments because while Tumblr is still busy decrying “girl math” as anti-feminist garbage, Twitter has produced “boy math” in response to the male misogynists who believed women can’t make jokes.

A sentence in Casey’s book impressed me, even though he didn't name anyone explicitly

“Maybe someone who could put on the charm when they need it regardless of sincerity could have turned the situation around but I don’t have that skill.”

He totally gets that Valentino has endless charm, lol. I’m sure he felt it too when they hung out

yes!! this was about casey and his relationship to the fans wasn't it, and in a section of the book where he was talking about his rivalry with valentino, so hardly a stretch to say it was deliberately alluding to him. and of course casey talking about valentino's charm is not unrelated to how casey did seem to like valentino perfectly fine back in the day... how he said back in 2007 that he liked talking to valentino, that they generally talked about stuff other than racing, how valentino gets on with most guys in the paddock... though it's interesting (if not particularly surprising) how by the time the autobiography is written, casey portrays the early dynamic between the pair of them pretty dispassionately. just from the book you'd get the sense of someone who was coolly respectful of valentino until valentino started pissing him off, rather than someone who was... y'know, also a bit of a fan. somebody who got the valentino rossi appeal, shall we say. we all have our crosses to bear

which, I don't even think it was just about the racing. I doubt he ever wanted to emulate valentino in the same way jorge or marc might have wanted to do off the track, but stuff like calling him a "great competitor and a great sportsman"... that for years he'd been "dreaming to be like him"... that valentino and doohan were "the sort of people I wanted to become like"... I reckon that's a little more than simply respect for him as a rider, and I don't think casey back then would have said that stuff just because he knew it'll play well with the public. he found valentino exciting, like so many before and since have done - and still did so for the entirety of 2006 (he said more recently that he was even more impressed by valentino after that season, which is kinda noteworthy given that's the year valentino did, you know, lose the title). but then they became direct rivals, and. well

of course the "regardless of sincerity" in the quote is pretty pointed lol, like he does clearly see valentino as very two-faced and willing to spin a line regardless of whether it's true or not and also as someone happy to deceive others for his own gains. and his rhetoric has also changed just a wee bit since he published the autobiography on that count, where he more recently does stress how... well, he did learn from how valentino played the media! he learned how to get friendly with journalists! he learned how to play that game, of trying to win the public discourse! he might never have liked it, and he still probably would say like in the autobiography that this "charm" "regardless of sincerity" isn't something that he'll ever be as good at as valentino was. but he did dabble in the dark arts just a touch... I think one of the most interesting tensions of that rivalry is to what extent valentino forced casey out of his comfort zone both on- and off-track and ended up making casey adopt behaviours and attitudes he continued to find reprehensible. casey considers valentino 'selfish' both on- and off-track but to fight him both on- and off-track he became more selfish in turn... very dramatically compelling

anyway, here's casey chatting to fellow aussie jb when he's come to watch the podium celebrations after one of valentino's 2005 wins:
