#i dont get it ??

[wh0r3zzz]

I'm so tired of feeling like this.

[pocket-goat]

when and why did people start calling the Ancients "benefactors" instead??? did someone see that one line from Pebbles and decided it was a better name????? im so confused.

[funkyybonez]

something that annoys me so much with re-animator merch (mainly officially licensed stuff) is that there's no Dan. no NECA Dan, no toony terrors Dan. no Monstarz Dan, but Hill gets FOUR HEADS in that same set?!?!? there's like no t-shirts of him, no Fright Rags stuff of him except for some of the 2017 cards. no middle of beyond stuff, no pins, WHERE IS HE!?!?

[delaneytveit]

the way that antis talk about how tam locked fey/re in the house, i thought he pulled a gothel and just locked her in with no explaination.

and then i read maf and?????? i would have locked her in too.

i mean its right THERE that he tried to trust her and give her alternatives to going with him. he explained why she couldn’t go, why he didn’t want her to go and she just plowed through everything like its only her desires that matter.

how does this equate to just locking her up and throwing away the key?

and this is coming after she saw the red of lucien’s hair and freaked out that he might be amarantha for a second and grew claws???

Ok, I'm really getting tired of seeing people saying Aaravos is manipulating Claudia and I don't know if those people are watching a different show or seeing the show through a different lens but clearly, they turned a blind eye to the intention of this scene:

Aaravos confesses the whole truth about Viren to Claudia.

Then Claudia confessed that she KNEW Viren wasn't in the in-between and that she has been going along with Aaravos by her own free will.

Aaravos even asks her if she knew he wasn't there, then why would she want to invert the Nexus?

And that's when she asks Aaravos to give his full reasoning for opening up the Nexus. And he does. He becomes vulnerable to his true feelings.

Then Claudia stays by her own agency.

There is no more manipulation. They are now both on the same page.

Those of you saying after this that he's manipulating her have completely turned a blind eye to this scene for some reason and I really don't know why. Its a beautiful scene where two people who have both been through immense trauma have bonded and have become family. They have both lost someone and are now walking the same path together whether good or not.

I spoke about it in my post yesterday so I won't go too much into detail here but you can even see it in this scene:

Terry and Soren hatch a plan to use an illusion of Claudia's mum to get her away from Aaravos (now THATS manipulation) and Claudia says to Aaravos that she will handle it and guess what? He respects her wishes and stands back.

Even when the illusion version of her mum comes out from the Nexus, Aaravos doesn't say anything. If he really was manipulating her, he would have tried to stop her but no, he gives Claudia the breathing space to do what she needs to do and stays back.

Aaravos had given her a chance for an out earlier at the Nexus and Claudia went with him by her own free will so if she chose her mum, Aaravos would have respected that. Especially from the language he was choosing here by letting Claudia take the reins in this situation. It was about her, not about him. Why is this stuff being overlooked?

There's even proof in the openings:

Season 6 Opening:

Season 7 Opening:

Claudia no longer turns to stone and Aaravos has a much softer expression. Now why do you think that is?

That's right. She's no longer his pawn but someone he genuinely wants to see happy and healthy.

Now, lets look at the season 7 interview:

Note: Its supposed to say, "When Aaravos confessed that he does not believe Viren will emerge from the Moon Nexus" because we know that's what happened.

This is a Youtube interview from Cartoon Universe with the creators of The Dragon Prince. This was said by Aaron Ehasz himself:

"One of the things the season does, it deals with this idea of the transference - like Claudia's relationship with her father - and he's (Aaravos) sort of very aware of like she sees me as a father now and its not a perfect transference and he really sees her as a daughter - and he really does - I will not watch another daughter die, he says - he MUST save her. And so, I don't know. I do think - he's not just completely - he's not just an evil force, he has ALOT of cosmic anger to play out. He looks up at the stars "Are you watching?!" He's got a lot to work through."

Aaravos legitimately does see Claudia as a daughter and does very much care for her. There is no denying it.

At the end, Aaravos gets Claudia out of the final fight and says "I will not watch another daughter die" and you can feel how much he means those words (amazing performance by Erik Todd Dellums.) and in the way he looks at her, even though he's beaten and bruised.

He is now her father and she is his daughter.

No manipulation to be found after episode 6.

Was he once manipulating her? Yes. But not anymore. They are very much on the same page and care for each other very much as family.

Can we please move on from this whole "Aaravos is manipulating Claudia" charade now because I'm getting very tired of seeing it.

can someone please explain this infatuation with Devils minion ship??

I dont understand the obsession??

[larriescompass]

oh my GOD

[misschimotosuwa-blog]

I can't really give up on the Rarijack ship. For me, while watching MLP fim all the way through, every ounce of every episode that featured Applejack and Rarity just gave me so much confirmation that they're hopelessly in love with each other and are just so good for each other.

They're 2 ponies that no one would ever think would get along, and yet honestly in the end... Those two got along the best! Their frickin weekly trip to the spa or whatever?? And it's just them who go together?? No one else???

We rarely got Appledash content and all of it was toxic. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Thank you.

chat, can we talk about clone wars ships real quick?

before going in, all i heard was "oh em gee codywan codywan codywan" and i've seen the movie and most of s1 and maybe (probably) i'm just being impatient but i just... don't see it? (yet?) like when they're in the same room i do go "omg boyfriends" but i think that's only because i know i'm supposed to, i wouldn't have thought that on my own.

however, rexwalker jumped out at me from the first time i saw them interact, which seems strange to me because after some light searching the general consensus definitely seems to be that they fell for each other much later.

it kinda feels like i'm doing this wrong? even though i know that there's no wrong way to engage with fandom and shipping, but i don't know how i'm managing to see this so differently from everyone else

[sc3rcasm]

How did I do today?

Were you proud of me? Did I do okay? How did you think I acted today? Was I talkative enough?did I make you happy? Did I make you uncontrollably laugh, like I usually do?

Or

Was I a failure like usual? Did I upset you? Did I act differently today? Did I go non-verbal like the little fucking dumb@ss I am? Did I make you depressed? Did I make you concerned, like I usually do?

do you hate me?

hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me hate me?

do you want me to shut the fvck up? I'll gladly do that for you. I'll do anything for you. I'm afraid I don't have my own personality anymore, can I borrow some of yours? Make myself seem more interesting and likeable for once in my life? Just so I can fit in and do what others do??

I feel myself falling.

Poetry matters

[glencian]

but honestly my current obsession is Boothill

if only we knew his past life name, he'd be like Tartaglia (Ajax) or even more like Blade (Yingxing) ❤‍🩹 because despite everything it's still him, the "loaded gun", yeah?

[wishfulimaginings]

I dont understand why people say that Violet is whining in Iron Flame

She's struggling with lying to close friends and being lied to by her significant other.

How is that whiny?

[faunandfloraas]

can someone on the skz team please learn any basic photo editing skills so the pictures dont always look blown out, lacking contrast and unfinished. like i thought this was a picture a fan took of a poster, not the official pics

[screechwhisper]

Just watched the latest AAA episode and... People actually hated that..? Why??? I thought it was great :(
