an unlikely encounter

whats fun about barry as a protagonist vs other Morally Complicated Guy Shows is that he seriously has no ambition lol, his wildest dreams arent like becoming super rich or relishing in holding power over people, like all he wants is simple happiness, maybe career success, normal life stuff, his wildest dreams are like…. being able to have a wedding. having a kid or two. and theres something reasonable about that, it makes him relatable for a while until the show is very clearly like No dude, that is a fucking serial killer, you should not gaf! and you’re like oh right lol. it’s crazy to make such a simple desire seem so malicious but still human

Heheheheheho I have gotten some of the Dragon Age books (🏴‍☠️) and this is gonna really let me dig into some stuff, especially my favorite guy Cole, cause now I can read his OG appearance, I want to see how much stuff Cole says, especially during his quest actually makes sense, and how much is in-universe "both sides are right"ing about not listening to what Cole wants to do.

I am mainly talking about Spirit!Cole thanking Inky for not making him change... Despite the fact that thoughout Cole's quest Solas ignores what Cole wants (Like being binded) & wants to do (Kill the guy who beat beyond beating a 12 (at most) year old (most likely, it isn't outright stated (to my memory) the Templar who fucked up the paperwork was also one of the ones who physically abused him, but I feel it's a pretty safe assumption) & got that child killed due to neglect & faced no consequences) but ultimately the choice that causes Cole to thank the player for not changing him is the one where you listen to Solas over Cole (Or well Varric, who also doesn't let Cole do what he wants but is closer to what Cole would have done if he had went alone for the confrontation) & in this route I would say Cole's character changes a lot more, especially as he forgets the original Cole, which... Rubs me wrong, but I'll save my more detailed thoughts for 1. After I fully read Asunder & 2. Either a full Cole analysis or a detailed post about my thoughts on his quest & routes (& maybe how I'd rewrite them, as a Autistic person & a ally to the aroace community)

Anyways my point is that I want to see how true it is characters rejected or wanted to change Cole, I want to see what leads him to feel that having two men argue & tell him who he is supposed to be & do only to have a third person decide out of those two's options for what he should do is remotely a situation where he's been accepted.

Unfortunately I do like to watch tr.ue cr.ime but I am VERY selective about who I share this interest with and who I watch/support because some of yall are FUCKIN WEIRD

[mymarifae]

only on tumblr do you get people so absorbed in their toxic online echo chambers that they think killing animals is no big deal and that posting about incest and pedophilia and shit is “fine” because it’s all “fictional” and “fiction has no bearing on reality” and “i’m a victim of these things so it’s cool for me to ‘cope’ by consuming this content and i’m totally not normalizing and excusing its existence”

i  think  when  he  was  young  al  didn't  actually  dislike  sweets.  on  the  contrary,  he  was  actually  quite  fond  of  them  —  until  one  particular  incident  that  saw  him  unsupervised  with  an  entire  container  of  molasses  within  reach.  which  he  then  proceeded  to  do  as  any  child  with  a  considerable  sweet-tooth  in  his  position  would  and  ate  nearly  all  of  its  contents  with  his  bare  hands.  delicious  regret.

his  poor  mother  found  him  very  ill  and  very  nearly  stuck  to  the  floor.  anything  too  cloyingly  sweet  dredges  up  the  memory  and  makes  him  nauseous.  (  it's  a  secret  he  has  quite  literally  taken  to  the  grave.  )

Sometimes I wander onto blogs of fandoms I'm not in just to explore. I like looking at the fanart and the dissertations and the fics and wondering what goes on in canon

Seeing how much I can figure out

Or I'll jump into a new fandom tag on ao3 and get the full weight of foreshadowing without the dramatic irony because I know NONE OF THESE PEOPLE

NONE OF THESE EVENTS

Your dramatic-irony-foreshadowing clues don't work on me!!

it's incredibly fun, 10/10 do recommend

Was listening to talking in your sleep and knew I had to draw...

Her😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

It's nothing but a rough stretch and I didn't put too much thought into the coloring but I'm in love😍🥰

[whatudottu]

Turns out if I complain loud enough I can get things delivered faster, and faster it did as I realised not even a minute into drawing that I literally could have finished this in one sitting were it not for my pen carking it-

Anyway- have a problematic woman, on the house :)

🫵🫵 !!!!HEY YOU!!!! 🫵🫵

do you want to do research on true crime RESPECTFULLY but "can't find any good documentation :'(" about it??

😱😱✨ WELL I GOT NEWS FOR YOU!!! ✨😱😱

i found out about this AMAZING tactic called-

just read the fucking wikipedia article.

it's free, does not fetishize serial killers, and doesn't put any money in anyone's pocket. the articles are provided by people who want to educate, not profit.

stop watching documentaries that do not aim to educate, that do not help the families of those effected, that rather try to fetishize, glamourize, and pity horrible people who did horrible things.

researching true crime is something you must tread carefully on. you should be researching true crime from a viewpoint of wishing to learn. it isn't some fun drama to watch and observe like a circus.

"but wikipedia articles are too long and boring and i just want to hear the drama :((((" WATCH A FICTIONAL CRIME SHOW THEN. YOU SHOULDN'T BE MAKING A SPECTACLE OUT OF A TRAGEDY.

being curious of dark events in human history is normal, and educating yourself on WHY does this happen, is what will allow us to grow and adapt.

fetishizing a murderer and acting like they're a video game character blorbo is going to do NOTHING but hurt others and show you're a real piece of shit.

i'm tired. read the fucking wikipedia articles. stop giving money to shitty companies trying to profit off of tragedies that effect people to this day. thank you.

Boys were invented for me to chase around the nightmare woods with a big knife and blunderbuss

Anyway thinking about the plot progression of It > Library Policeman > Rose Madder ... Mr King why are you thinking so much on the reproductive ways of the Space Spiders?

[snekdood]

i just struggle to believe theres any ethical way to harvest meat. farm animal dying of old age? yeah. ok. sure. but farm animals aren't going to be perpetually dying of old age enough to fulfill the demand for their meats. you can make better and more convincing arguments to me for ethically harvesting eggs, wool and milk rather than meat.
