So many of us joke how he cries beautifully and others too (who doesn't loves a beauty who cries prettily lol) but this is one of the things I liked about it. That your strength is not being in the strongest or being masculine or being the best fighter, it is in being steadfast and trying your best to make your own choice out of the few available to you. That it is fine to cry, you can grieve too, that there is strength in tears too.

It wasn't his awsome sword wielding skill or cool jumping around or going through a training montage, it was his grief. It took Zhuo Yichen's tears to prove to the sword that he was worthy of wielding it. That his tears were not a sign of weakness, they were his strength too.

And I love it that they did this with almost everyone in the show, not just Zhuo Yichen. All of them had traumas, they had grievances, and instead of shoving it away and becoming the traditional "Ice prince cool protagnist with dark past" that many shows do, all the Fangs of Fortune ensemble found strength in their dark, sad past and continued moving forward.

Bingyi has many descendants, but only a few can be acknowledged by the Cloud Light Sword. Those who are acknowledged by the Sword will empathize with it. The Cloud Light Sword will then become his fate weapon. Having a fate weapon means that as long as the sword is intact, its owner stays alive; if the sword is destroyed, its owner dies.

apparently "what if they had reddit on gallifrey" memes really resonated with people last time so here is some more

You know what? Real talk, If Charles really could not attack after the pit stop like he is saying bc of tire degradation (he did have to go through half the grid after that pit stop) then I am happy there were team orders. Because if charles attacked with tires that were not doing OK and he lost against Carlos on 7 lap newer tires who have not seen an overtake the discourse of Carlos winning wheel to wheel would have been horrendous. It would have been worse than it will be now.

I am not undermining charles or anything. I think he didn't attack not because of the team orders but by his own decision. I think he would have attacked if he had a better grip on his tires. I think the grandiosity of Charles as a driver is exactly in the fact that he can read the situation and feel his car. Feel what he can and cannot do with the car. If the car felt like it could not pass Carlos in that moment I trust Charles that it is true. Any other driver in his position would have gone for it (cough Russel cough). He attacked in Monza but it was the last laps and he essentially had nothing to lose that year. This year he is in a fight with red bull and it was the beginning of the race so burning his tyres even more on a useless overtake would have put him in danger against the mclarens much faster.

If you think about it this was some brilliant management and decision making on Charles side. I am still his fan (shocker!!!) And I still love him to death and I think he made all the right choices today.

other choices I can (begrudgingly) see how you would write around but it is wild to me to act like who the Divine is doesn’t matter because we���re “in the north.” Maybe I wildly misunderstood the lore to this point but I thought all Andrastian chantries that aren’t in Tevinter are under the rule of Divine Victoria (who can be one of three WILDLY different people, including A MAGE) and you’re telling me that has zero effect outside of Ferelden and Orlais?

[booloocrew-blog]

yeah same here

Ep 4 :)

[heal2ninjagogirl]

I feel like people justify morro's action WAYYY more than it needs to be like we really don't need insane level lore on why he did what he did

Trust me, I eat those interpretations UP about morro however I feel like SOME (very important word of the day) people go out their way to excuse all that he did and just make him to be this TOTALLY INNOCENT GUY who DEFINITELY did NOT mean to do what he did and he's just a little blorbo scrubby skrunkly with sad backstory :((

In my opinion (emphasis on the MY part) I don't think the series gave him enough time to actually fully redeem his character at all so trying to make these excuses and interpretations just to justify what he did is kind of weird. But trust me i really do appreciate and love how yall manage to come up with these ideas and theories from how little we got of morros backstory.

Now I'm not saying that people CAN'T have their little headcanons and stuff about morro, like I said before I EAT THOSE UP EVERYTIME. All im saying is, not every villian has to have this terrible backstory to excuse all of their actions. Let morro just be a brat who kind of...?? Redeemed himself...?? Sorta...??? Idk I mostly put blame to the writers at that time writing season 5 and also day of the departed.

Also keep in mind this is coming from someone who hasn't watched seasons 8-15 yet so if like somehow he was redeemed more in those seasons than please tell me because I really don't want to look stupid right now. Idk I'm getting that feeling that MAYBE he was redeemed in future seasons and I'm just looking like a idiot right now...

[whatudottu]

Bestie I have got to tell you Mal TD totally listens to the Shadow the Hedgehog OST, and depending on the Total Drama timeline it would literally be perfect timing like- you can’t tell me this edgy teen nerd didn’t see a Sonic character with a gun and DIDN’T think it was cool, come on!

[chatxkilluaxnoir]

Edit: Okay; it was a tie while I had been writing this; still counts kinda, I guess.

trying to get into the habit of copying prev tags whenever i go 'prev' bc tumblr has absolutely broken the ability to follow tag chains

[unpopularly-opinionated]

I find it interesting that people are very against the various streaming companies that are nuking content off of their platforms, thereby erasing them and forcing you to use extra-legal means of watching them, but yet they’ll accept and even go as far as to praise other companies for doing the same, justifying it as “because someone in the content was later found to be a bad person, and this somehow justifies removing the content in its entirety”.

Could you even imagine how little content would still exist if we nuked everything that has ever had someone in it who was later found to have said something racist, or sexist, or homophobic, or beaten their spouse, or raped someone, or killed someone, or committed tax evasion, or fraud, or literally any bad thing ever in their whole life?

Unless the content in question is of said-crime, there is never a reason to delete content, ever. If you’re making something to be consumed by the public, then it belongs to the public, plain and simple. Laws be damned, I’m talking ethically or morally here. I don’t care what the reason really. As long as everyone in the content willingly signed on to be in the content, knowing it would be shared to the public for their consumption, then I don’t see any issue with it whatsoever.

It doesn’t matter if it’s owned by some big streaming corporation, or whether it’s owned by some nobody YouTuber. “For public consumption” should remain public.

Thanks for your post explaining the situation surrounding Mariusz quitting his job! You write: "As someone who lives in Wrocław and is a student at its Music Academy I can only tell you - he was... not much liked, to put it lightly, by the Big People". By all means, he was a celebrated opera singer in Europe and the USA. What made them dislike him so much?

oh goodness gracious, i really cant say, why would you even ask me that! im the last person who'd engage in such shameless gossiping!

sike lol

i never heard anyone say he was not a great artist. no one doubted that. people only questioned whether he was the right guy for the job, only having experience as a singer, a perfomer, no matter how renowned. or rather, the main issue was - how much, having no experience in the position he now occupied, he was earning. because that really was an insane (and i mean. INSANE) amount of money.

Ołdakowska getting the job of the director was also a pretty controversial thing, so automatically, people who weren't in favour of her winning, didn't also like Kwiecień since she was the one who chose him for the job.

then there was the issue of the changes Mariusz wanted to make. he was in favour of promoting young, new singers and hiring big names for guest performances, ergo, many of the singers who had already been hired full-time for years by the opera house in Wrocław stopped getting big roles etc. no roles - no money (or rather, very little money, the bare minimum actually). this, coupled with the amount Kwiecień was earning... well.

he and Ołdakowska also promised Big Things but sadly they both got the jobs in the beginning of 2020 and we all know what happened then, not much could actually be done when the entire world was more or less paralysed by the pandemic.

and yeah, that's more or less it. id say, tl;dr in the end it's always all about money. and some personal beef he may or may not have had with some people, i really can't say cause that's all i know.
