Alex Albon as The Hermit:

The Hermit suggests that you are in a phase of introspection where you are drawing your attention inwards and looking for answers within. You are in need of a period of inner reflection, away from the current demands of your position.

This is a call to embark on a journey of self-discovery, embracing our true spiritual self and inner wisdom.

As someone who believes that the presence of queer ships are a sign of a healthy fan space, I feel it is especially important to see in Invincible fan spaces, especially in relation to queer ships involving viltrumite characters.

Because can be used in such a great way to address and discuss the anti-queer aspect of the Viltrum empire's ideology (I'm looking at you WillMark shippers; CecilNolan shippers, y'all are great, but I haven't seen enough).

As the show and comics have made clear, Viltrumite ideology views sexual relationships as a means to an end, only existing to create offspring, with romantic relationships being not only nonexistent but also viewed as a weakness.

As a result, this makes all Viltrumites, whether Kirkman intended or not, raised to believe that intercourse, the one of the last types of intimacy allowed in their culture, should only exist between individuals of a different sex.

After all, it makes sense in a twisted way. A same-sex relationship, in most instances, is not going to bare any offspring, removing the one level of validity any type of intimacy has to the Viltrum empire. Why would they want that?

They wouldn't. And that's queer relationships with Viltrumite characters is so important here. They grab that idea of intimacy only existing for the use of breeding and turn it on its head. They say "creation is not the purpose of intimacy and it never was" and directly confront how this control over intimacy is just that, a way of control.

Yes, we do get a look at how normal, healthy straight relationships can help Viltrumites (I am not opening that can of worms here), but they all still hold onto the Viltrum idea of intimacy being an act of heterosexuality only.

That is why I think queer ships are so important here not only as a way to help point out how yet another internal bias of Kirkman's has embedded itself in his writing but also because they help us look and explore the social impacts this fictional ideology has in universes on members of that society.

P.S: And this is why I think there should be at least one gay Viltrumite- *I am shot by an Amazon executive*

lose my mind every time the doctor takes rose's last name in fics. brilliant, amazing, splendid, absolutely perfect.

like, what do you MEAN she'd be the one to change her last name? he doesn't even HAVE a bloody name like us! plus, she's rose tyler. you think he's going to want that to be different? it's the doctor and rose tyler in the tardis (or I suppose whatever they do in pete's world, but that's still the doctor and rose tyler having their new adventure)!!

she's rose tyler and he is whatever-he-wants tyler. end of discussion. the whole pond diabolical should've been clue enough imo

It might be Kuro Saturday but I'm still stuck on William Saturday

I have rewatched his part far too many times and I do not regret a single minute.

Also those hands again......

Ngl I really don’t like Gail. I get that she’s an alcoholic but the fact that she looks at a 19 year old and sees someone she deems “beyond saving since she’s a child”, and calling it nature instead of traumatized is just fucking irresponsible.

I also get to an extent the line about how Ellie was walking right alongside Joel with their actions, but again she was 14. Gail putting a lot of things on Ellie that aren’t culpable for her and when you consider a huge theme in this series is Ellie learning to deal with her lack of agency, it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

She learned this behavior from Joel, he was her angel and devil all at once. Her saviour and her condemner. A father.

FEDRA may fostered the conditions for trauma but the journey across the country only deepens her anger. The lie told to her face time and time again, built her like this. Her capacity for violence did not lessen when she was with Joel and there is a reason for that.

She walks like him, she holds his gun like him, she talks like him, and she’s closed off like him. It’s like Tommy said, “same goddamn person”. To diminish that when the story makes a strong point about how you are molded by the people around you just confuses me.

something about max being dressed in lighter colors at the beginning of the game vs her almost being dressed in all black / just straight up dark colors near the end just scratches my brain so good

IM SURE YOUVE ALREADY EXPLAINED IT SOMEWHERE but.. may i ask about the story in bitter choco decoration. I like those guys :)

you’d be surprised but i apparently have never talked about these particular ocs’ story in detail on this particular tumblr blog. so i shall do just that…. i tried to summarize but it got kind of long oops, as it always does when i talk about my mentally ill ass ocs

so! as u might already know the guys in the video are rikki and william, and the animatic happens from rikki’s pov. rikki is basically the golden child of the family—smart, well-behaved, always keeping her parents satisfied, etc etc. generally she is put under a lot of pressure a lot of the time. and then her family decides to get an insurance child so to speak—just in case rikki fails in life—but they don’t want to go through the trouble of raising another one, so they decide to adopt.

that’s where william comes in, baby! now he is decidedly Not the golden child. he is the problem child. parents thought they could reform him—well, not much to show for that. but him and rikki surprisingly get along, even though they’re opposites. william actually gets someone who cares about him for once and wants him to be okay, and rikki gets someone who wants her to be more bold, stand up to others and consider what she herself wants instead of people-pleasing. he even gets her to make snide jokes and cut her hair. they’re best friends, it’s nice. for a while.

but, none of it is perfect. you know how rikki always seems to be smiling even though she’s clearly not having a good time? and you know all those red eyes that appear pretty much everytime william’s on screen? rikki has so many layers of masks that william never really feels like he actually knows her. and william, even though he mostly wants rikki to do her own thing, can still kind of be selfish and controlling (because he’s a teenager, and traumatized, and scared of losing his best friend, but it doesn’t change the fact that rikki feels the same pressure from him as she feels from their parents).

so this all culminates when they’re in high school and rikki buries herself in work—she wants to secure a good education and a good job so that she can actually get them both out of this shitty abusive household. for the first time in her whole life, she has a Goal that she personally has chosen. she now has someone to work hard for. but she also ends up spending a lot less time with that someone because of her studying, and it eats at william and eats and eats until—it turns out rikki’s hard work has actually paid off. she’s gotten a scholarship, and she can leave for a good university and she’s finally achieved something that she herself has wanted to do and not anyone else. for both of them. for her brother.

except her brother doesn’t react with support, like usual. he’s not cheering her on now that she’s fulfilled her dream and beyond. he just looks betrayed. because they’re best friends. they promised to be there for each other, to get out of this hellhole house together. how could she leave him behind? how is he supposed to make it without her, who is he going to have on his side? william loves her and wants her to be happy but he doesn’t want her to leave.

so in turn���because rikki is a) an avoidant little bitch who would rather masterfully evade conflict than try to have an opinion and b) doesn’t want her brother to hate her forever and not speak to her ever again—in turn, rikki, as always, as second nature, lies. i mean, it’s her dream, it’s something she’s been working towards for years, but she’ll stay. she’ll leave it behind. it makes perfect logical sense to her—best of both worlds: she doesn’t spend the last summer at home with her brother resenting her, and she still gets to actually go to university. it is basically flawless.

all up until, you know, the day comes where she actually has to move out and go to university. and william inevitably finds out that she lied to him. and they fight. it’s not good. it’s not happy. they end up separating on really bad terms, and not talking for the next 7 years because william runs away from home pretty much soon after rikki leaves (it’s not shown in the animatic but he does go MIA, rikki visits home once on holiday to find that her brother is just Gone, no one knows where he is, her parents couldnt give less of a shit, not great all around!!!) then rikki ends up graduating and looking for an easy first job, just to kind of set her foot in Job World.

unfortunately, it is also the exact same easy, convenient job that her brother ends up picking. hoo, boy. long time no see.
