#goddamn mentors

[curiosity-killed]

In the way these things go, I’m sort of curious how the audition decision process went because my teacher (ballet master for the company) has doubled down on coaching tf out of me to the point that I have missed the bus two weeks in a row and he stopped class Friday to drill me on fouettés

thinking about gohan and vegeta and how their bond is underrated

the difference in their reactions to each other 😭

Gohan being the first one to step between Vegeta and Certain Death, twice, without an ounce of hesitation, and Vegeta saving him back despite his feelings about battle intervention.

Vegeta knowing Gohan's the best of all of them

Vegeta and Gohan both born prodigies assigned an unfair amount of responsibility to be Great and be a Saiyan Messiah(tm) way too young by a stubborn and proud if not (relatively) well-meaning father who didn't see any other option and I just think Gohan doesn't get enough credit as like. The first serious muscle behind Geets' personal growth.

Do y’all think the lack of true/decent parental figures in his life has screwed up Lloyd’s sense of what a good parent is to the point that it’s affected how he treats Arin, Sora, & Wyldfyre? Bc it definitely feels that way with how much maturity & trust he puts in them despite them all being no older than 15

I miss them so bad (Dick and Damian)

listen listen listen listen. i am never going to get over singed & viktor. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE MENTAL ANGUISH. THE MESS OF EMOTIONS VIKTOR HAS TO DEAL WITH. he's so steadfast with his morals and ideals. hextech must not be weaponized. dangerous science is fine as long as the only person at risk of getting hurt is me. the moment it kills someone else he's fucking BROKEN by it and just throws in the gd towel. YET SINGED WAS THE ONE WHO TAUGHT HIM. like just. imagine, ok. imagine— take the premise that singed & viktor were actually pretty close. viktor was lonely as a kid, but he found company in rio. in singed. singed provides a space and opportunity for viktor to do his science stuff. "we can be loners together." here's someone he probably has a decent amount of affection and respect for, maybe even admires like a kid would a mentor/role model/parental figure. and he hurts rio. and viktor doesn't understand, he can't reconcile this. "we can be loners together," but also, "you did this?" viktor's got like a whole slew of emotions to deal with. What the fuck? How could you? I hate you. But also, "I told you, I was consulting a friend about our quandary."

"You built this? Why aren't you playing with the others?"

"We can be loners together."

Like just what are you supposed to do when someone who provided for you — who took care of you, who looked after you as a kid — hurts someone? Someone that you care about? What the FUCK are you supposed to when that person is willing to torture and kill for science — something that you are also passionate about, the very thing you both found commonality in, bonded over — and does it all without even a hint of remorse? What are you supposed to think?

Are you allowed to find comfort and safety in that person anymore? Can you still have good memories about them, and look back at them fondly? Can you be thankful for all the good that person's done for you?

What does it say about you, if they're the one who influenced you so much so early in your life, and here they are now?

Viktor gets Sky killed, and can you imagine what must've been running through his head? I'm no better than him. I'm turning out just like him. I am just like him. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

AND IT'S JUST.

AAGGHH!!!

I will never know if...! If you saving me was a part of this selfish grander scheme of yours... or just one small moment of mercy from you. It doesn't matter to me anymore. None, and I mean none, of what you tell me will ever come to pacify my doubts and fears again. It all won't ever come back, and neither will I, Pops.

hhhg getting back into martial arts after 4 years away from it. let's gooo

I will never forgive how harshly people judge Shay’s post-Lisbon experience reaction and call it overreacting, and not Achilles disregard for Shay’s words and FEELINGS.

anyway every spider-man in the multiverse is alone except for miles. can anybody hear me

[revvethasmythh]

met up with mattis again at last light inn and that kid is literally my son. my criminal rogue son who I can bully into giving me things by pointing out that if he doesn't I'll just steal them later and wouldn't that be embarrassing for him

[acebytaemin]

the fucking shitshow i experienced today…

[sage-nebula]

3-5 should have ended with that incredible moment of Dahlia being exorcised from Maya's body. The fact that it drags on for so fucking long after that because Godot can't just give it up for bad-man-sad-man reasons (that the game uses Phoenix and Maya to try to convince you are so noble even though the alternative to him confessing is an indictment for Maya) drags the entire case down by a significant degree.

Learned that my mother does not support literally any interest of mine that isn't Percy Jackson, this is so fucking fun/sarc

[rhythmic-idealist]

Walked away to have a frustration cry at work again. Anyone have any good casual suggestions on how to introduce a good moment to drop "this isn't a woman thing btw it's an autism thing"

[eosofhearts]

sometimes a family is a chronically exhausted human warlock with a phoenix motif, his giant titan exo husband who loves pigeons, and their feral awoken hunter daughter who's the young wolf

Absolutely loving the idea of Optimus just completely not knowing how long he was in the wild, and thusly not having any clue how old he is. Is your prime equivalent to thirty nine, or fifty seven? Not even he knows!
