Not about anything specifically but I'm begging people to understand that changing a character's past actions due to newly discovered information is like,,,, a totally ok thing to do. You can reevaluate why someone did something with a new context, do you know that. Its important to me that you know that.
(Yes this is about Tommy btw)
Was Tommy being gay and having some fucked-up father-figure relationship with Gerard ever planned in s2? No, not even close. Does the knowledge of him being in the closet now change how we see his behaviour from s2? Yes, yes it does !!
And that's not a bad thing. Saying "hey, maybe this one-dimensional asshole character was more complex than we thought, and now he has reasons for being the way he is," is ok to say !! It is !! You don't have to live in the past pookie I need you to be ok with retcons and unintentional expansion of characters, please.
You don't even have to LIKE it, just understand that those motivations/dynamics have indeed changed its not that hard

"The will to change belongs to intelligent people. The unconscious governs our lives, and the unconscious is shaped by our beliefs, many of which are false, even though we present them as true. Having an attitude of openness towards everything puts us in a better position to continue growing."
Keynes: "The most difficult thing in the world is not for people to accept new ideas, but to forget the old ones."
Goethe: "Beware of what you learn, for you cannot unsee it. Being open to 'unlearning' is absolutely essential for true learning to take place. Often, what we think we know is what actually prevents us from learning."
Bertrand A. W. Russell, British philosopher, mathematician, logician, and writer, Nobel Prize in Literature.

Can I just say, I really appreciate how Critical Role plays the Devil trope straight. There's been this phenomena in a lot of modern media (I'm not going to mention specifics but I'm sure a few examples pop up in people's minds) where Hell and the Devil aren't scary or malevolent forces. Hell is portrayed as being basically the same as our world just "edgier", and the Devil is a pretty decent guy actually. Heaven are secretly the real bad guys!
But Critical Role doesn't do that. In Exandria, Asmodeus *feels* like the Devil. He's malevolent and manipulative and terrifyingly powerful and he hates you, personally. We never see that type of portrayal anymore! And it's amazing! And he still manages to be sympathetic and tragic without losing his edge!
And the "Good Gods" are portrayed as flawed without being secretly evil or something! Like, actual nuance? In my Heaven/Hell dichotomy? What!?
It's just such a breath of fresh air after so many "The Devil was right, actually" stories. So props to Matt and Brennan and the cast.
#bg3 does this too which i appreciate#on my “Make Hell Terrifying Again” agenda#I can only see the devil be portrayed as a poor little meow meow so many times before i lose my mind#i feel like that sort of portrayal does such a disservice to the actual mythology/religion behind demons/hell/the devil#its gotten tired. y'all#this post is inspired by me#opening up the lucifer tag and having to filter through a million posts about either tom ellis or some blonde circus twink#like PLEASE END MY SUFFERING#cr spoilers#critical role spoilers#exu calamity#cr downfall#critical role#cr meta#cr asmodeus#the lord of the hells#asmodeus cr#asmodeus the lord of the nine hells#nine hells#the devil

Harmony Syndrome Part 5/5
The last chapter of my mlp infection AU! Thank you to everyone who followed along. Some final thoughts on my twitter @cracklewink if anyone's interested : )
#mlp#my little pony#mlp infection au#mlp infection#twilight sparkle#Sorry for leaving the ending open ended but I genuinely couldnt decide on just one way for things to turn out and I liked the idea of#leaving it open the most#in my mind sunset's final message is like we found a recording from the later days of the infection and we dont know what happened in the#end because the recordings stopped/ended#In any case I think they were able to put twilight and the others to rest#but who knows who survived the “final battle” and who didnt#also yes Twilight created harmony syndrome but not on purpose lol#it was the result of her botched attempt to create a spell that makes ponies immortal#obviously it backfired lol#and the irony is that twilight ends up dying before any of her friends#if they didnt want me writing my little pony horse tragedy they shouldnt have left mlpfim off on the note that all of twilight's friends#were growing old without her#ending thats been haunting me for five years#if anyones seeing this this is an open au btw so feel free to adopt any of the ideas if you like! : )#tw thanatophobia#thanatophobia

Ooh, you want to know what happens at the gay bar run by ex-pirates, ooh...You'll just have to read Tiger Tiger to find out...
(Inspired by this Disco Elysium comic)
#tiger tiger#remy bonnaire#Arno#jamis arlesi#f slur mention#(Remy is allowed to say it. Jury is still out on Jamis though.)#I love that disco elyisum comic so much. I have it saved in several places so I can find it to show people. I lost it once. Never. Again.#Hard lesson about redrawing/heavily referencing a beloved comic is that you will feel so inferior to its genius.#I did my best but I feel like I didn't hit the high notes I wanted. Such is art!#At the end of the day I have to remind myself that I'm still on a journey and not every piece is going to be my best.#Yeah I'm still on my Tigers propagana train. Toot Toot. All abord or perish to the Tigers.#I hear tigers are running the Olympics this year. That's right. It's tigers all the way down.#Obscure references aside; time to talk tigers spoilers:#I was absolutely losing my mind at Remy taking Jamis to the Starfall. He did *not* expect to be in a gay bar.#Jamis is our beloved bisexual lad but I don't think he's fully in tune with it yet.#How down right unfortunate that he is also the hottest cub in the room. Will he realize? What will he realize? Who Knows!#Thank you to everyone who checked out Tiger Tiger from my recommendations!#And thank you to my fellow Tigers fans for receiving my comics with open arms. Next comic will be about Rat Man.

Imo the best ending to Supernatural would have been to just stop with them alive on a random hunt or them finding jobs and living the life they just wanted or whatever.
And then the story just fucking STOP, because Chuck is not here anymore, so they are no longer part of a story they are finally free. And we could still write and read fanfic about how they live after they won.
#they should have just STOP before fucking killing them all#that might have stopped the story with no possibility for a revival#so I'm not sure#but I would be fine not having any revival if the end was satisfying enough#it would still be better than what we had anyway#an open ending would have been better#because they would be ALIVE and FREE#they deserved to be happy#spn#supernatural#spn 15x20#Carry On#there's no carrying on when everyone is fucking dead#don't mind me#I'm still bitter about that ending#dean winchester#sam winchester#castiel#jack kline#eileen leahy#destiel#deancas#saileen#if you don't ship those no hate please#my random thoughts about spn

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.
i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.
anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.
#[isabeau voice] am i insane or does sometimes loop talk like they might have killed their whole family. is that just me? just checking.#nille design highly inspired by @kiwibrain's since its the one that imprinted in my mind. liberties taken since i didnt look @ reference#anyway i have a lot more thoughts on this? i guess ill hide them in the tags...? scroll down i suppose.#isat#in stars and time#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#isat act 6 spoilers#isat loop#isat siffrin#isat bonnie#isat nille#isat fanart#in stars and time fanart#doodlebyte#----------------------------------------------------------------------#anyway the extra thoughts. are literally just my general thoughts on postcanon. (and thus are the context for all of my postcanon doodles!)#which is i think nille joins the party before loop reappears for a start (either from a period of nonexistence or just wandering around)#and that like. i think the party should be able to integrate loop as a completely new person. because they are! the secrecy isn't great but#They and Siffrin shuffle into different ecological niches in the party (eg. i think sif is more squeamish after it all but loop isnt)#and while it's not *exactly* what Loop wanted they get that beggars can't be choosers. and its pretty good#(i am glossing over how i think loop's reappearence drags both them and siffrin into a massive behavioural backslide and is likely a bit#distressing to watch go down. cycle of argument -> lovebombing -> normalcy -> repeat. etc etc. but since they are no longer literally#stewing in the worst pressure cooker of all time they do resolve it via productive conversation on their own time. its fine)#the party well-meaningly tries to deduce things from loop's vagueries and are able to pin down the DEAD FAMILY vibe pretty quickly.#but eventually the question of their prior identity falls by the wayside because well! they're just their friend loop! (also change belief)#as for how The Truth Come Out... this is what i mean by The Isabeau Torment Nexus(tm). which is that i think... isiloop should almost occur#BEFORE isabeau knows who loop is. he's just genuinely charmed by them eventually and tries to close the open end of the polycule#which FREAKS LOOP THE FUCK OUT because thats just too genuinely sick and wrong. and obviously w emotions high its not a great confrontation#ANYWAY told u i had more thoughts. if i were normal itd be a text post but.

there is just something about the difference between edwin's love interests and having the cat king's reaction to edwin in hell being "i'll be waiting when he gets back" vs charles "no version of this where i don't come get you" rowland convincing a powerful trans-dimensional being to open a door to hell just so he could get him back
i am insane
#like YES i know there is obviously so much more history between the boys than edwin and the cat king#and for everyone who's like “well how would the cat king have gotten to hell”#yall charles got LUCKY that the night nurse was there to open a door for him#you can bet your ass that if she hadn't been there he still would've figured out how to get there no matter what it took#but the cat king calling himself a romantic because he'll wait vs charles GOING TO HELL TO GET HIM BACK????#absolutely insane#i cannot handle these two#like i can vibe with the cat king#but charles x edwin for the WIN#obviously the circumstances between the characters are a lot different#but to me that changes absolutely nothing about the fact that charles who only thinks of edwin as a friend would do literally anything#vs the cat king who claims to have fallen for edwin doing literally nothing and just sulking about it#i don't even care if you dont ship charles and edwin#the love they have for each other will forever outweigh anything else#(ps if you ship catwin you simply do not need to interact with this post. you will not change my mind)#(you do not have to interact with posts you don't agree with)#dead boy detectives#dead boy detective agency#charles rowland#edwin payne#the cat king#painland#payneland#dbd netflix

i'd like to add, as a less significant point but one that people still tend to bring up as an objection to henry in DF, his style change makes total sense.
he dressed mostly the same from age 13-18 in HD, which in itself is fairly unrealistic. it's more than logical that he would change his style after leaving home and moving to a place/culture entirely different than the one he grew up in.
he's grown up, he's on his own, he's been through a lot, and he lives in a completely different place.
the drastic change in his style makes sense and that's a hill i'm willing to die on!
people often say that it makes no sense how henry's changed in danger force, but imo i think it makes somewhat perfect sense (only somewhat because the writing in danger force is kinda all over the place most times lmao).
like henry is no longer this starry-eyed kid who thought superheroes were the coolest, strongest, snd bravest people ever. he's been there, done that, and it wasn't glamorous in the slightest.
swellview's greatest hero turned out to be an irresponsible, self-absorbed, man child (affectionate). he's almost died several times and has been injured just as much (and a lot of times, not even in villain fights, but at the man cave/junk n stuff). he even lost sight of who he truly was because he dedicated so much time to being a hero.
growing up with/through that and then going on to try and be a hero in dystopia? i absolutely think it makes sense that he'd become jaded and even more unlike the henry hart we knew throughout henry danger.
like yeah, the writing of HDF isn't the best all the times, but these little character development details they have is what hooked me into the show in the first place (besides it being genuinely enjoyable lmao).
#danger force writing wasn't perfect by any means#but people love to nitpick it#it's really not that bad#have an open mind#think through things before just making a snap-judgement decision that you hate it#you'll enjoy a lot more of life that way!#ik this is just abt a silly nickelodeon show but#that mindset applies to a lot more in life than just that#if you want to give something a fair shot#you might find it's not near as bad as you originally thought

alastor is such an insidious dealmaker because he's so reasonable. he doesn't ask for anything outlandish, especially not right out of the gate—he agrees to make a commercial so long as he's never asked to engage with anything tv-related again. he turns down charlie's soul and readily concedes to the stipulation that her favor doesn't have to hurt anyone. from the way husk describes their deal ("when you're down on your luck, you turn to anything to keep you afloat"), it heavily implies to me that husk went to alastor, not the other way around. alastor gets his foot in the door by making himself freely available, and by making it easy to tell him no the first dozen times he nonchalantly offers a deal, so by the time he starts angling for a deal he actually does want, you're less likely to notice immediately how predatory he's being, or how he's backed you into an inescapable corner. he makes himself an inevitability. you know he's a monster, you know that he's manipulating you—but he's also become your only choice, and so you don't even get the consolation of being able to say he tricked you, because you chose it
#which i think is why he can tell himself he has integrity or that he's an honest dealmaker even tho he's still incredibly coercive#he can also hold it over people's heads for eternity that he didn't MAKE them do anything‚ they walked into this eyes open#disregarding whatever manipulative role he might've played in distilling their choices down to only one option#in contrast to vox & val‚ who have to alter people's minds & senses to keep them under control#which is a more overtly violating form of manipulation that alastor can point to and say ''well i don't do anything like THAT''#alastor#hazbin hotel#vaggie#charlie morningstar#husk#husker
