#i feel for her

[watmalik]

Man I get it, Tim. I understand not wanting to put Lucy in danger.

But my girl has been through so much already this season, she did not get her dream job, her roommate/friend (after Jackson) is moving out, her parents cut her off/never really had their support there, and now her boyfriend breaks up with her?

Lucy can take care of herself physically, she’s a badass cop, she’s proven that several times! But emotionally…specially after all of that? She needs someone and it's not like she can ask her TO/mentor about it.

As well put together she may seem, she will still need someone to be there for her. And Tim seemed closer to a best friend to her after Jackson, rather than Nolan and anyone else in the station. And now she’s lost all that support.

Anyways, I’m glad Grey will be riding with her next episode.

I just finished season 3 of Bridgerton and wow. I'm blown away. I loved every single episode and I realized why at the end: it was about love in all its forms.

Romantic love sure, but it wasn't the predominant one. Love for your peers, love for your family, love for your friends, love for yourself.

Can we also talk about the redemption arcs and the complex thoughts and actions of the characters, their growth?

If Elrond was ever against Arwen marrying Aragorn and choosing mortality, it would be for Celebrían's sake, who sailed West not knowing she was seeing her daughter for the last time.

I have thoughts y’all. I have so many thoughts. These aren’t even half of it. These started as thoughts about Arisanna, but as I wrote I realised that it links to how I feel about Icarus and Rae when they were younger

I don’t think Arisanna needs to be “fixed”. Yes I think that the “prank” she played on Wolf (and then tried on Rae although she ultimately failed) wasn’t fair. She had to become a sort of parent to her siblings. She couldn’t live for herself. Her job was to save and care for the allays. She couldn’t let herself live for herself, no matter how much she wanted to. Everything she’s feeling now was there before, it’s just elevated because of the lack of empathy. She wants to live for herself, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I think she was pushed to breaking point and this is where she ended up.

Yeah I think that she wouldn’t have done anything like this without the “assistance” of the pillagers, but there would’ve been a breaking point regardless. She would’ve come to a time when she just couldn’t take it anymore. It’s not fun becoming a parent to kids you didn’t have. The allays are her siblings. She shouldn’t have to look after them like a parent would. It’s unsurprising that she would almost resent how she lived.

It’s the same kind of way I feel about Icarus. I don’t think they should’ve said what they did to Rae when they were younger and on the run, but they went from living in a castle with a mom and dad who loved and cared for them both, to on the run with their brother. Icarus was angry and needed someone to blame, who else but the person they are stuck with. It wasn’t fair to Rae, I absolutely agree with that, but you won’t find many people who would enjoy being thrown into the role of “protector” for their siblings.

Yes siblings do get protective over their siblings, but there comes a point where that protection could spiral into a more parental role.

I don’t think there’s anything to “fix”. I think that the only way to do that would be to change the past, and that can’t be done. The only way would be to stop Ari from filling that parental role and the only way to doe that would’ve been to go back in time and stop it before it happens.

If anything I think it’s a good thing that she wants to live for herself. I think that she deserves to live for herself for a bit instead of having to raise her siblings. All that’s happened is that she reached a breaking point and snapped, in the same way that most people would, it just so happened that process was sped along by the vexing process. I don’t think that would’ve changed anything, I think she still would’ve reached a breaking point, the vexing just brought that point closer. It made it easier for her to say what she actually wanted.

I know that people miss when she cared more, And that makes sense, but I don’t think Ari needs to be fixed, I just think she needed to let go of the responsibilities that she took on unwillingly to be able to feel better about it. At least she doesn’t (yet) feel the guilt for “abandoning” them as much as she could

This could be all wrong, I am very tired, but this is just my thought process (of sorts). People can absolutely disagree with me on this, this is just the way I’m seeing it at the moment.

To sum this entire post up in one sentence, I don’t think ari’s being nice but I do think it’s fair

I'm going to say something controversial... I have a bone to pick with Joel. There are a few moments between him and Ellie that bother me.

1) During her birthday, she's excited about the dinosaur book. Joel completely brushes her off. "Um, a book?" He doesn't mirror her excitement. He seems over it.

2) He pushes her into the water, and then criticizes her swimming ability. I firmly believe you shouldn't play pranks on your children. Later, when Ellie and Tommy are out shooting, Tommy holds a branch out of the way so Ellie can walk past. However, he lets her pass without deception.

3) When Joel and Ellie are trying to find guitar strings after entering the hotel, Ellie asks Joel if he's impressed that she was able to get into the building and let him in. He immediately says no and that she's "just too skinny." Your parent should never comment on your body shape or size.

suicide stuff (not me dw)

can’t stop thinking about this girl my dad knew in college who killed herself while listening to Purple Rain on repeat until they found her body. I don’t know why but this is just in the back of my head constantly

I hate it here, the prophecy, I can do it with a broken heart, how did it end….. Taylor is feeling so lonely in her fame and she knew the price to pay to reach this, she can’t trust people because she doesn’t know if they’re a “sleeper cell spy” or if they like her for her, she can’t talk about it with people because they’re not living what she’s living, she’s clearly saying that she feels so painfully lonely and it is so sad.

Juleka, not knowing who her father is until her brother gets akumatized over it--

Juleka, feeling like her father loves her brother more than her, almost getting akumatized over it until her father tells her he was giving her his first bass--

Juleka, spending less on-screen time with her father--

Juleka, not being the one her father goes to when he wonders how to be a better father to her and her brother--

Juleka, tossed aside and ignored by Bob Roth, watching her brother being called "Jagged Junior" while she's also Jagged's child and standing right there--

Juleka, watching her father leave Paris with her brother for the time being, and it's to protect Luka, to protect Ladybug and Cat Noir, to protect Paris; it's for the greater good; she held a Miraculous once, she knows that; it's not about Juleka at all--

--and in a way that's worse, that it isn't about Juleka at all.

...So, basically... Nayuta is just innocent Makima? Like if Makima was raised by an actual person instead of the government? :')

I'm just imagining Makima as a normal little kid, my heart can't take it 😭🥲🥰

[recallthename]

the issue with interview with the vampire, is that yes turning a child into a vampire is all kinds of fucked up and brings chaos to the duo/can’t save a failing marriage etc etc

but like... kids are boring
