#he is aloud to talk about the

[thecownamedcat]

How dare this twenty year old man have an opinion on his original character when he was sixteen does he not know how serious his minecraft role play was

[dollypopup]

we don't talk enough about how after Pen has her 'Walk down the stairs, I feel so beautiful' moment, and everyone sees her, and it all goes sour when Cressida rips her dress and Pen is presumably a flop at flirting and then runs off, the only person

let me repeat that, THE ONLY PERSON

who comes for her to make sure she's okay. . .is Colin. the only one who asks if she's alright, who compliments her to cheer her up, who goes after her, who voices aloud that he cares about her, who refuses to let her insult herself in that moment is Colin. Fucking. Bridgerton. The only one. Her Mama is at that party. Eloise. Both her sisters. But who goes to check on her? Who comes to ensure she's feeling alright?

And even after she calls him cruel, and insults herself, and storms off, what does he do? He gives her time, and then he goes to meet her, again. He comes to her, again. To her garden, to say he's sorry. To her home, to make amends. Extends his hand to her time and time and time again. She's special to him, and he makes that clear. She's special to him and he hates that he hurt her. She's special to him and he hates that she's hurting. He won't stand by and let that happen when he's there.

Colin Bridgerton has treated Penelope Featherington with more tenderness, respect, and admiration than anyone else in her life, and we need to scream about it more often. This man loves her. He loves her to her fucking bones. We should all be so lucky.

WIP I'm not going to find time to finish bc busy. Sad.

i think a lot of people don’t always realize the difference between “this is how i interpret canon” and “this is how i want to write it because that’s what’s fun to me”. a lot of times the latter is all headcanons or AUs are, not an indication of what the writer thinks “is” or “should be” canon

more power to those who are super tuned into actual canon and know these details like the back of their hand, but sometimes people just wanna use a series as a sandbox, not a ruleset. genuinely nothing but respect for people who ARE that knowledgeable, but i and a lot of other people are just here to have fun with characters we enjoy—and want to put them in more accessible settings

Constantly thinking about how WWX thinks about JC how he thinks JFM thought about YZY but mostly as how he denied and yet carelessly commented JFM thinks (disregards) about JC

It is so, so, so fucked up and one of the reasons why chengxian is so doomed by the narrative bc no matter what JC does or says, WWX already "knows" what is about. Bc JC is his shidi and WWX knows best. And still, pre masacre, pre core exchange, it could have work. It could have, because they love each other so much but JC lost his core. WWX thinks he chose his parents. He thinks Jc choose the dead bodies of his parents, a filial duty, over survival, over him. And he never forgave Jc for it.

Bc now is WWX turn to assume the consequences of his shidi actions, now it is his turn to bear the pain for him. And he does not do it with reluctance, he does not, he does it bc he loves Jc so so much, but still. Still. The hurt it caused it. The hell it send to him. The hopelessness.

And then to see his shidi thrive were he can’t no longer. To see him shine when he is but a shadow. To see him reach for the impossible time and time again as if it was not WWX who never gave up before, who rallied his shidi over his (small, imagined, greedy) woes. To see all that and know envy, envy he had denied his whole life and envy he will repress into resentment, into sth useful bc WWX is not like yzy or Jc he is not, he does not hurt the ones he lives with his jealousy and sense of inferiority. Bc how can he not envy, when one says his dad doesn’t love him but he still has a dad? When one says he is not enough for his sect when he has such a inheritance, such a clear path at life. And WWX never cared never ever ever, how could he? He loved his shidi best, in spite of all the bad things.

And somehow, Jc himself is a thing he has to be loved in spite of. And it’s heartbreaking.

I mean wukong has to know how absolutely insane macaque is about him right!??? Right?

Oh god imagine if he didnt and made a comment regarding that, and absolutely everyone just stares at him

oh you mean Sun Wukong the Monkey King? the same guy who is known to struggle with communication and confront personal and vulnerable topics? the same guy who was not aware that his bestest and closest friend blamed him for many events that transpired between them until said bestie snapped? the same monkey who is constantly criticized and berated by MK’s closest friends/family and does nothing to refute it? the same Wukong who struggles to apologize to MK because he feared that his student (more than a student now, they’re friends, they could be family—) might also lash out or not give him a second chance to make up for it? the same Wukong who, despite being an incredibly observant guy, struggles with establishing amiable bonds with others?

that Wukong?

The ability to fly would open up a new dimension to explore (in the mathematical-physical sense—we already know Danny had opened one up in the other sense). Think of how much Danny would notice that no one else would?

Think of bees. (Not so much birds, because we see birds all the time, and also because they don't seem quite as graceful and maneuverable as bees.) When I did a search for how high bees can fly, I found something that said bees could fly higher than Mount Everest (little edit: may've misunderstood what it meant. They might not've been found flying that high after all, just that 'they could'). Bees can go anywhere they want, just for fun.

We as humans tend to (for the most part) view the world as six feet high. Anything six feet or under, we know about (or possibly up to eight feet. But it's not much higher than our height). And we don't really realize we're thinking this way.

Sure, we can look upward, we can see treetops from a distance, we can see what the sky looks like. But it's from the perspective of looking up from a distance. Our worldview is colored by looking up from six feet or less.

It's a flat surface. Despite us knowing it's not flat, we don't really internalize it as being 3D and navigable. And we also don't realize what's up there. Who would ever imagine there were bees buzzing around the top of a 200 foot tree? To get to flowers we didn't even notice were up there?

And, yeah, we have planes, but they fly in a set path and you can only look down at the very distant ground. Helicopters are probably more similar, but not many people fly or ride those.

But Danny... after the accident, he would've started out sticking close to the ground a lot, but as he started getting more comfortable with the ability to fly, his worldview probably would've changed gradually. From his preconceived idea of 'the world is six feet or less' to 'the world is spacious and easily explored and so very 3D'.

There's an episode where he's vacuuming the living room ceiling—as though he thinks his parents will notice that it's cleaner than before. And though I understand the 'I have to clean everything so I don't get in trouble' impulse better than I should, there's a chance it's partly from Danny seeing the house differently than before. The ceiling becomes just another wall for him. ...One that he might clean often when he has cleaning chores, because he's going to notice all those spiderwebs and cobwebs, and the little bugs gathering in the light fixtures.

(...He probably would realize the ground is also navigable at some point, too. Think of all the tunnels and moles and snakes and other creatures he'll see, and all the plant roots and such.)

Ok you all are aware of my love for Echo but since we only got a few episodes of it during the Clone Wars there’s a very special place in my heart for The Bad Batch that is just Hunter, Tech, Wrecker and Crosshair. Just those four. I don’t know why but I particularly just like them together and Echo separate? I don’t know why? Like during the Bad Batch series I loved seeing Echo with them but now that I’m left to ponder after the series ended I’m usually just thinking about the og CF99

actually first ep of Voyager where Janeway talks to Tuvok about how his family misses him is that when she says they Worry about him Tuvok contradicts her and claims that Vulcans don't do that but when she corrects and says they Miss him he accepts this and admits he misses them too; implying perhaps a pedantic difference between 'Vulcans do not Feel Emotions' (false) and 'Vulcans do not Act Out of Emotion' (accurate) -> 'Miss/Longing' is an emotion, but 'Worry' is an action one does out of emotion -> one Vulcans do; one Vulcans do not.

As I stand, stare into the void, and think about a million issues this guy has and then dime rolls and suddenly I get stuck with one, so have a portion of HC right HERE, right now.

For someone who ought to be pertinent, he strongly upholds the belief to feel free-zoned from shackling obligations for they jeopardize his circle of welfare; the place to belong. In his course of life, there's a chapter indicating minor roots of his neurotic symptoms that influenced his growth to a marked extent. As much as he was loved and grew happy with Marya and Django, he couldn't mute shadow polarity of his senses to perceive ( less ) stares of the Romani collective as a sign of 'dissimilarity'. His visual look; hair particularly. Wanda would of course try drag him out from such self-centered pitfall but even she knew her brother was right when he said ' look at me and tell me I belong here '. The process of negative thoughts prolonged long enough till he started to feel below the threshold of sensation and conceal his hair with hats and other accessories in vain hope to not draw too much attention of curious cats. Surprisingly, he seemed to not want much of that like any normal young man would which is understandable because of this whole unawareness about mutant lore.

Pietro never felt timid in a social situations and though he possessed no physical or mental limitations indicating an inferiority complex - - as befits tragedy he was a prisoner of a 'worth' blockage and constantly kept overthinking whether he belonged to the camp because yeah, he does look differently, and inherited albinism sure stands out a lot.

( Avengers Origins: The Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver. )

This mental bubble breaks when someone else tells him aloud { and this is important because it's not just sister and his family circle but someone random } that his look is unparalleled. And I dare to say that feelings that triggered motivation for self-acceptance may stem from this one panel where he gradually starts discarding deficiency of his shortcomings.

And -eyes- honorable mention to Magnus for he too plays a significant role in part of his life { as role model } where Pietro { after joining the brotherhood } finally starts perceiving his hair, his powers, not as a bad aspect but as redeeming quality along with everything else; something to be proud of and put on display { and we know how strongly divergent he became in his adulthood about sense of individuality } .

admittedly the buddie brainworms haven’t Really set in for me yet and i have been shipping them mostly in an ambient “i can’t believe this is real dialogue and they’re not together” way but i have to say that 4x13 and 14 are expediting my journey to buddie insanity land sooooooooooooo fast

[dollypopup]

interesting how polin is all here for multishippers when it comes to penelope being shipped with literally everyone and their father, but the second someone ships colin with marina, it's suddenly controversial and bad and wrong and they should be totally fine with people talking shit about her and acting like she's the worst and how dare you post anything in the archives about it or in the tags, don't you know that he'd be miserable and the two of them would never work and I HATE HER AND AND AND.

this fandom will lose their shit over penelope with literally every bland whitebread man in her general vicinity and fics on fics on fics get written about her with OCs and his brothers and his sister and people she's never so much as shared a room with but heaven forbid you think Colin and Marina were cute during their canonical courtship

[corallapis]

yes! and i think that's the same way five was handling the black guardian thing too, where he skirts around it bc he seems to know addressing it head on will just push turlough away

Chivetiger joined the clan long ago under the lead of Pinestar, but his life as a loner isn’t even a distant memory now. Though he spends much of his time alone, thinking up dialogues and stories in his head that fill his chest with pounding excitement, he is often the cat others in the clan turn to with their problems, as he always seems to have a hypothetical on how to handle everything. He’s happy to spit out his opinion on the matter, and then be left alone, no other conversation necessary. He can often be found in a shady corner, off to himself, sorting his collection of shiny rocks and mumbling softly to himself in little voices.

sometimes I feel like I'm not getting any smarter doing all this reading and then I watch a youtube video explaining a philosopher I haven't read but because I've read enough of the stuff they're drawing on I find myself nodding along and saying the words before they come out lol
