You can spend a lot of time trying to justify everything a character has done, and it’s great to look at the reasoning behind their actions that people might not understand.
But you can also sometimes say yea it’s understandable why they did it but it was still a shitty thing to do, and that’s okay. Humans make mistakes, your favourite characters will too. It’s ok. It doesn’t make them bad people.
#not all explanations are excuses#shameless#ian gallagher#gallavich#mickey milkovich#this applies to every character#was it understandable why Ian bad mouthed Mickey in s6? yea absolutely#does that automatically make it ok? not imo tbh#doesn’t make him bad#just is what it is#we’ve all shit talked an ex#we’re human#but#it’s ok to look back and say ah I probably shouldn’t have said that#was it understandable why Mickey was upset in s10 after the marriage cert fight?#yea absolutely#did that give him the right to punch him? no not at all#he had the right to be angry but not to hit him#there is a lack of empathy & understanding in the fandom for Mickey in that storyline where people over hate him & over excuse Ian#but then also that’s about the rest of the storyline he still shouldn’t have hit him#it’s understandable why Ian shit talked Mickey but that doesn’t make what he said ok#they’re not perfect people you don’t need to try to make them out to be#none of these things are black and white#it’s either over hate or over excuse with shameless fans sometimes#there are a million things I could talk about where people over excuse characters actions#at the same time there’s so many where people over villainise them and don’t look at the nuances#like. WHEN will shameless fans realise it’s possible to do both#they are good people who’ve done bad things#they’ve been a toxic mess sometimes#AND THATS OK

Trying to find nice stuff for Wish but everywhere you go people are being painfully wrong in their interpretations of the movie
#i don’t care if people don’t like it but i want people to at least stop being so wrong 😫#i shouldn’t have to explain that hoarding the most important part of people’s souls under false pretenses is bad#his trauma does not make the person he became any less bad and his way of ruling is not reasonable and morally better#free will to pursue your dreams is good. a soul should not be locked up by a man who is likely never to give it back.#i’m sure he STARTED as protecting rosas or believing he was but absolute power corrupts absolutely and all that#magnifico by the time we see him is controlling and paranoid and selfish#and asha is not bad for *reads notes* wanting people to have a chance to actually live their lives for themselves and not be deceived#she never asked him to grant all wishes and the movie never tried to say that all wishes should be granted#it’s not saying that you should always have whatever you want. it’s saying you have the right to your agency and choice to pursue your wish#without someone else controlling whether you can ever have it and even making you forget you wanted it so you CAN’T choose to pursue it.#this is literally just a free will vs control story. how was this movie so lost on so many people.#you can debate until the cows come home about whether it was executed well but what they actually tried to say shouldn’t be so hard to grasp#and then there’s people spreading misinformation about star boy and various behind the scenes factors and you can’t escape it and i just…#i am in pain. everywhere i go i am in pain.#disney#wish#mini rant

The story of these two men is my Roman Empire.
Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov were highly decorated Cosmonauts, both of which made firsts in the history of space flight.
Yuri Gagarin famously became the first man in space on April 12, 1961.
Vladimir Komarov piloted Voshkod 1 on October 12, 1964 on the first space mission to carry multiple crew members. He flew again aboard Soyuz 1 on April 23, 1967, becoming the first Russian man to make two spaceflights.
Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov were close.
The Soyuz 1 was described as being “a piece of shit�� and a “devil ship” as issues plagued the spacecraft throughout development and failed testing. Yuri had done everything he could to get the launch postponed, including writing a ten-page memo detailing the 203 structural problems he had discovered during inspection of the Soyuz 1. Any person who had laid eyes on the memo would be fired or demoted.
Komarov knew of these issues, but refused to step down from the missions. In March of 1987 he met with Venyamin Russayev, a then-recently-demoted KGB agent who had been assigned to "mind" Yuri Gagarin.
He met with Russayev and said, "I'm not going to make it back from this flight." Russayev asked, “Why not refuse?” Komarov answered: "If I don't make this flight, they'll send the backup pilot instead." That was Yuri Gagarin. Komarov couldn't do that to his friend. "That's Yura. And he'll die instead of me. We've got to take care of him." Komarov then burst into tears.
Yuri, nicknamed Yura by friends and family, showed up on the day of the launch “demanding to be put into a space suit,” "demanding this and this and this...", doing anything and everything he could to be the one on that spacecraft instead of Vladimir. Unfortunately, his attempts were be futile.
Soyuz 1 would launch on April 23, 1967 and faced serious issues throughout the flight. The parachutes failed to deploy during reentry and the spacecraft burned up while Vladimir screamed and cried and cursed out those responsible.
Yuri Gagarin was grounded from future space flights and denied permission to pilot military jets. This was devastating for the already deeply depressed man and everyone knew it. Even his favorite hairdresser said that “Yuri couldn't live without flying. It was his whole life. A man can't live without his trade. He can't survive.”
He eventually convinced them to let him fly, but on March 28, 1968, less than a year since Komarov’s accident, he was tragically killed during a routine-training flight aboard a MiG-15. The cause of the accident is unclear, though many speculate that the accident was an assassination on the cosmonaut as he had a falling out with several high-ranking officials following the death of his close friend.
Both Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov’s names are featured on the memorial for fallen US Astronauts and USSR Cosmonauts left on the moon by the Apollo 11 crew.
#I KNOW FOR A FACT I read somewhere that Yuri dug through the crash site for his remains but I can’t remember 😭😭😭#DID I MENTION HE’S 5’ 2???#there’s tons of controversy surrounding what’s right and wrong but regardless their story is tragic#and I mean tons of controversy btw#there’s absolutely no way for us to know what’s right and what’s wrong#we’ll never know what actually happened but we all know what should (or should I say shouldn’t) have happened#look at how they look at each other and tell me there’s not *something* there#space race#Cold War#Soyuz 1#Yuri Gagarin#Vladimir Komarov#cosmonaut#research#information#THIS is my Roman Empire fr#like these two deserved better 😭

Me busting into Elder Predator’s chambers to chew his ass out after he ignored my gauntlet call six times in a row (he was taking a much needed old man nap)
#big guy was knocked out#being an ancient yautja is exhausting#and then dealing with my bitch ass…#oh he’s gonna bite a good chunk of my ass off when he wakes up#pardon my behavior I’ve just been very dickprived as of late#it makes me say and do things I shouldn’t#also yes I spied on him and memorized the key code to break into his chambers#he knows this already unfortunately I leave my scent behind when I snoop around his quarters#I also shed so he’s always finding strands of my hair#and I leave very small gifts around for him in places I assume he won’t notice right off the bat#but his finely tuned observations detect traces of my phantom presence#he’s contemplating setting up a trap to catch me redhanded#yes I must answer for not respecting his personal space#especially to discipline me for my poor cloaking execution#now he can’t bring any Yautja women around cuz they’ll smell me there#but let’s be real he hasn’t done that in a long time#yautja#avp elder#elder predator

shoutout to media with only one female character that’s just a vessel for a sexual assault and/or pregnancy plot line with very little or no characterization beyond that
#inspired by#mouthwashing#there’s other media this relates to#I’m just thinking a lot about this game right now#idk I love the game and its art direction and the story is still amazing#it just sucks that anya wasn’t as developed as the other characters#and felt like more of a tool to make jimmy more of an unsympathetic asshole#almost everything about her revolved around jimmy#I guess you could make an argument that since jimmy is an unreliable narrator that anya’s lack of character is how he views her#she’s nothing to him#but even the sections playing as curly she falls kinda flat and still involves jimmy#idk maybe I’m being too critical#I’m just kinda tired of plot lines like these#where women are reduced down to their trauma and that’s all they are#not saying they shouldn’t exist!! they are still valid stories#I just wish they had more tact#I understand though that this is an indie title with only so much time and resources to put into such a big project#and I understand that more time was probably put into the art direction and gameplay and coding than just some extra lines of dialogue

Wait if all the journal 3 pages were restored after Weirdmageddon why does Bill’s book insist there were still missing pages that just conveniently happened to pertain to his incredibly sad backstory and concepts brought up earlier in that same book
#going off of memory here for that first bit but iirc the journal gets chucked into the bottomless pit alongside the other two#with all of their pages still intact#right?#so then why would bill have more pages if there shouldn’t be any more?#gf#screw it this goes in the general tags too#gravity falls#the book of bill#ANSWER ME YOU FUCKASS TRIANGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#ALSO if the answer is supposed to be “ford tore them out of the journal out of shame” wouldn’t it make more sense to leave them in as a-#cautionary tale? he already left the “my muse” pages in why should these be any different? to protect his identity? fiddleford’s?#the last half of journal 3 throws all anonymity out of the window too#so then if he didn’t tear the pages out himself… why would bill have them? HOW would he have them; he’s stuck in the theraprism!#did he stow them away somewhere? nope; he burnt the journals and then got punched into oblivion. could one have popped up at the theraprism#nope; specifies its journal 3 lost pages! how could he have gotten journal 3?#okay so the pages are fake. what about the events that happened on them?#look into my eyes and tell me you really believe fiddleford won against the krampus. the guy who built a mind eraser gun after getting-#snatched by a different monster.#sure SOME events could have happened— who’s to say they didn’t? but when you take into account everything else about the pages and the book#how believable is it really?#how believable is anything he says for that matter? how much are truths? half truths? lies on paper but truths from a different angle?#“LIE UNTIL WHAT YOU WANT TO BE TRUE BECOMES TRUE.”#“LIE UNTIL YOU CANT REMEMBER WHATS A LIE AND WHAT ISNT.”#“LIE UNTIL YOU ARENT LYING ANYMORE”#how much are lies that he wishes were true?

I think one of the weirdest thing to me about Helluva Boss is how they keep proving that Striker is right but at the same time they refuse to let Striker himself be right.
Someone on twitter pointed out that in Oops Striker talks about it being an embarrassment to imp kind that Fizz is a purse-dog to his over-bloated master, and then, while Striker might’ve been referring to Ozzie (although the use of over-bloated makes me wonder if he truly meant Mammon), the entirety of the next episode is all about Fizz saying fuck you to Mammon (his master) and quitting his job because he doesn’t wanna be exploited or abused anymore.
And this just reminded me how in the first season they had Striker say to Blitz “Starting with the one that treats you like a plaything.” about Stolas’ treatment towards him in Harvest Moon and then in Truth Seekers (the next episode) they literally had Stolas say “Who dare threaten my impish little plaything.”
I don’t know if this parallel is on purpose but that’s twice now where in back to back episodes in each season Striker has a made a point about the hierarchy in his episode and then the following episode goes out of its way to prove his point.
I just think it’s odd how they prove that he is right in other character’s storylines but in Striker’s own storyline he’s like not allowed to have a win despite everything around him saying he should.
#idk i just have a lot of thoughts about the way striker’s story is handled#ik it probably doesn’t matter bc he’s a villain in the narrative#but I think he’s so interesting okay😭#i just feel like striker being a villain shouldn’t negate that he IS right#but also bc he is a villain people don’t pay attention to his dialogue and won’t notice these things#like I swear no one listened to anything he said in western energy despite him saying sm about his struggles#drives me up the walllllll#why couldn’t i be obsessed with a main character#noo the cowboy had to catch my attention#we strugging out here striker nation LMAO#helluva boss#helluva boss striker#striker helluva boss#helluva boss fizzarolli#helluva boss blitz#helluva boss blitzo#helluva boss stolas

Some f1 fans cannot handle being reminded that this is a competitive sport, not daycare. Sometimes people have to do things that will hurt a driver’s feelings, seem unfair, or piss off other competitors when there’s points and millions of dollars on the line. You can still be disappointed and upset without acting like the decision made on objectively sound sporting reasons requires a trip to the hague. If you cannot handle that this sport is not actually hair braiding and gentle parenting when push comes to shove, you might enjoy another hobby better.
#some of these takes just have me rolling my eyes#i may dislike mclaren for some general things that went down with daniel#but daniel did not perform and they were 100% right to drop him and there is no world in which they were wrong in making that choice#sucks that nyck didnt get a full season but he ran his mouth about not wanting to be treated like a rookie and got rightfully dropped#when drivers do things that seem scummy but are legal … you can be like ‘ugh i hate that’ without saying they deserve a penalty for it#it’s very sad for logan that he can’t drive because of alex’s mistakes#but also. he’s not out for this weekend just because of alex’s mistakes#he’s not driving because he put out a season and two races worth of performances#showing why they shouldn’t trust him more than the man who crashed. and that is on logan#williams is 100% right for putting alex in there. it sucks for logan for SURE and i feel bad for him#but they’re right#no one says you cant be UPSET with the decision but you cannot pretend its wrong#*

even when sangcheol and jeongwoo are wary to trust each other what does stand out in the last four episodes is that sangcheol is the first actual adult around jeongwoo that does things to protect him from the townspeople and the town itself. several times now he stood between jeongwoo and any of the other police officers or villagers to stop them from hurting jeongwoo or make them talk to himself instead. even when they are on the odds at some points, sangcheol calls him first when he finds out new things in the investigation and uses those calls to check up on him too. he ran into jeongwoo’s house to save him from being shot (as he perceived) and stuck around to tend to him and to protect him (in his own so many words). even when they are slowly growing on each other, it is a good thing that there is at least one person around that shows jeongwoo he’s not in harm’s way all by himself and listens to him as well.
#like you don’t need to read this in any other but the surface way but it is a GOOD thing that show shows rather than tells this#bc after the past ten years this is a person around jeongwoo who stand in between him and the violence#(no matter the scuffles they have had and still have but that is because jw and sc are both. well. filled with anger issues)#but at least someone is around that stops people from tormenting jeongwoo and even when sangcheol isn’t there he Tries To#and makes a point to let jeongwoo know that he is trying#are they both terrible at communication? yes. is sangcheol right that he shouldn’t be a cop? also yes#but it works right now bc of that too lmao#also there is something to say about sangcheol thinking he’s a poor judge of character but he clocked byeongmu RIGHT away#black out#nohgoh#al.txt

Not to be a stickler about grammar, but whenever I see shit about doomsday I get soooo unreasonably upset when people put “quite right too”. That doesn’t even make sense! It’s “quite right to” as in, you’re quite right to love me/as you’re supposed to!!! Gahhhhhh 😔
#i knowwww this shouldn’t bother me as much as it does#but like#the fact I’m esl makes grammar more important 2 me#tho I fuck up a lot so it’s not like I can talk#I just wanted to get this outta my system#cuz I think ppl think he says too bc he’s confessing back#but hes literally just telling her that yeah you do love me you’re right to#it’s more acknowledging rose’s feelings#tenth doctor#rose tyler#doctor who#tenrose

My dad won’t leave me the hell alone . I know that he’s prone to paranoid delusions but it was a lot easier to deal with when it was something like being convinced he’s a demon sent from hell. How am I supposed to convince a man his bitch ex wife and his bitch daughters aren’t plotting to ‘split his family up’ as he puts it. He is so convinced there’s no arguing. And if I refuse to argue he will yell more and tell me how I have no argument because I know he’s right. I know I shouldn’t react to that but it makes my blood boil 😐
#and this is a guy who will kill himself if I move out. or at least try to for attention so I’ll come back. this sucks right#and he’s so convinced about this that he is half convincing me that I’m actually a horrible spoiled person and I shouldn’t be complaining.#like. I know I do a lot of that on here but I usually don’t say anything. I should be thankful there’s a roof over my head#but sometimes like now it’s just too much not to say anything.#also I feel bad for everyone who keeps up with this stuff and comments and stuff. I take your advice into consideration it’s just hard#to actually do it. everyone in my life including my mom and therapist all say the same thing: stop helping them all esp my dad and#just take care of myself. it’s just hard. I feel so guilty

Just finished S14, just have to question why Dean was so quick to try and kill his magic son like his brother and bestfriend haven’t also done incredibly insane things for a variety of reasons.
And the real kicker is.
It’s going to get so much worse.
#supernatural#dean winchester#castiel#spn#sam winchester#jack kline#god I hate this show#I had been watching previous seasons to avoid it but I finally finished it#WHY IS CAS THE ONLY ONE TRYING TO HELP#Dean fuckin Winchester the guy who only lived past S1 because someone else died#Dean Winchester who sold his soul to get his brother back#Dean Winchester who dragged himself out of his own grave after being rescued from hell#which then just got him tortured by angels#Dean who literally always did everything to try and save his brother#Dean Winchester who still believed in Castiel even when he knew he was lying#Dean who became friends with a vampire in purgatory who cried when he had to kill him#Dean goddamn Winchester who knows damn well he shouldn’t act like his own dad did with him#like come on man#that’s such horseshit#he’d be mad yeah furious even#but he wouldn’t immediately resort to lock my son in the suicide box I made without seemingly any remorse#he wouldn’t completely ignore Sam or Cas just because he was angry#he would be an idiot and say things he didn’t mean and stuff he did#he would throw things around and leave right after with no explanation#but just give up? like that? No! He should be dragging his heels every step of the way#even if he thinks it’s the only way he should be digging his heels in#dragginh himself kicking and screaming to that ending#this idiot is so endlessly unwilling to give up that he wouldn’t do that!#and it would take a damn lot more than Cas just lying to get Dean to say he’s dead to him.#the same Dean who a season ago fell to his knees by Castiel’s corpse
