Any thoughts about Baela and her crossbow?

I love it. It's a weapon we don't see in Westeros, so she's taking after Corlys in that regard. Yes, Joffrey had one, but look at who we are talking about.

It seems as though it's a way to introduce her skills from in the book like sword fighting which according to Bethany we will see to some extent.

I just, I love it. Everyone was complaining about book Baela last season, and she seems to take after Laena and Rhaenys even with this skill. I love that it's being accredited to the woman who raised her.

I do think it will play a part in her being the Warrior to Jace's ruler in a sense. Team Black's Aemond, especially with her later story.

Swords are kind of phallic symbols, so introducing her with a crossbow means that she's cautious and waiting for the right time. It's just so great. I love the imagery and the fact that she's with Jace just makes it better.

Overall, I just hope we see her use weapons in combat rather than just by herself, even if it's just practice.

Also seems to be a similar scene (don't base stuff on outfits) so I just love the narrative being crafted.

Welcome back, Visenya Targaryen.

What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)

#I would get orange juice. black coffee. AND iced coffee ($3) because I love the variety of having multiple drinks #then sausage and scrambled eggs ($8). Then sauteed mushrooms ($3)....AND... hrm.. then spending the remaining $4 would be hard #I wish I could get waffles (as they are my favorite and are superior in every way compared to pancakes. donuts. etc.) but I'm not willing #to give up the other savory things just to get them. so... then maybe I could get a biscuit or english muffin? and just put jam or #honey butter or something on it so it can be my replacement 'sweet and bready' thing instead of something from the $5 row??#OR I could also just assume that having the orange juice plus iced coffee would provide enough of a 'sweet element' to the meal #(since I largely prefer savory foods. I only like a tiny bit of sweet added for variety) and thus forego any sort of #'bready' thing entirely and just get the bowl of beans/onion/tomato (I'd leave the avocado since I don't like the #texture of them really lol). THEN I'd have $1 left to get the milk or the black tea... increasing my total of random drinks..#which is always the goal of course.. as a chronic ''person who is sipping at 5 different drinks at their desk simultaneously always'' perso #OR... I could just do.. waffle. scrambled eggs. sausage. mushrooms. and black coffee and orange juice.. which is... okay variety #augh... so difficult.. As my Ideal Breakfast is like a buffet type thing or something where you have like 25 different things to choose fro #and can get a little tiny bit of everything. My eating style is very much like.. I'd rather pick at a small amount of a ton of #different things than just have a very large amount of only one or two things. Thats why I LOVE sample platter type stuff.#So it's like... augh... the ideal option would be a tiny portion of EVERYTHING actually lol...#Difficult to choose...#ANYWAY.. Also no idea why I added croissant instead of bagel. I only thought about that afterwards. I do actually like bagels.#I've only ever even had a croissant like 2 times in my entire life. Yet I've had many bagels. For some reason it stuck out in my mind more #when I was considering 'essential breakfast foods' somehow... how could I forget them... bagels my beloved...#Blame it on the hot weather... 'What in the blazes? The sun hath obliterated the concept of bagels from my miind!'#(< meant to be said in a silly overdramatic elderly wizard accent or something)#Also I don't think ''bowl of beans. onion. avocado. and tomatos.'' is necessarily a breakfast classic or something gbhjjh #but I was just trying to think of a versatile vegetable-ish side that could be full of common breakfast additions #so people could do stuff like ''oh I get the toast option and then the bowl of stuff and I put the avocado on the toast'' etc.#Like a mix and match. You could mix ingredients from different parts. You could put scrambled eggs and bacon and onion #on the bread or soemthing. etc. I just feel like something is always missing if a Full Breakfast Spread #doesnt have some sort of onions or beans or mushrooms or asparagus or spinach like... some sort of thing that isn't just eggs and meat and #bread.. you know? lol..#But then again.. I am the Sampling Plate Style Variety Lover and Tiny Portion Of Food Picker so maybe thats just a me thing.

thinking about superheroes unfortunately

#random thoughts #let me daydream about batman in peace #love the dynamic between spiderman and deadpool #it's that kind of dynamic i love where two people have power over each other in different ways #like spiderman is a well-loved public figure and deadpool's idol while deadpool is a dangerous mercenary with regeneration powers #physically deadpool probably outmatches spiderman through sheer dogged perseverance #while in the public eye spiderman is more well-liked AND deadpool is feverishly obsessed with him #i'm gonna keep forgetting the hyphen between spider and man btw fuck the world #loving the idea of a spiderman who KNOWS deadpool can do better and believes in him while deadpool gives him a space where HE can be himsel #like spiderman has so many masks he has to put on around other people #i think deadpool should be one of the few people he can truly let himself loose around #yknow before he can get to a point where he can reveal he's peter parker #also i think peter parker in his ideal state suffers from severe identity and self confidence issues #like he thinks spiderman is a seperate persona he puts on which is superior to himself in every way #(okay seperate thought: DID spiderman. the spider bite being so traumatic it led to him creating a split personality to cope.)#(or separate. whatever.)#also age difference. peter should be in his mid-twenties while deadpool should be in his thirties. need more power imbalance #also they're both sa survivors and their personalities could be interpreted as them handling it in vastly different ways #with deadpool being hypersexual and spiderman being flirtatious yet distant and peter parker being borderline celibate #though honestly i could leave spiderman being an sa survivor given it was a whole 'gay people are all predators' psa #also i think spiderman should have been held back in high school. due to struggles relating to being spiderman #so he graduated late and now he's going to community college #peter parker has the luxury of going incognito. wade wilson will always be stared at no matter what he's wearing #deadpool who every superhero hates. spiderman who every superhero organization is trying to recruit desperately #also i think peter should admire wade. physically. built like a brick shithouse that one #also the third act low point CAN'T be about spiderman feeling guilty because deadpool kills people #okay? it's overdone. we've seen it. it's lame #i prefer when their opposing views on murder are treated in a more 'death penalty or no' way rather than assuming deadpool is always wrong #because spiderman's idyllic 'people can change' beliefs can be just as wrong as deadpool's 'assholes deserve to die' beliefs #and spiderman has definitely killed people are you kidding me. both accidentally and on purpose

anyone else hate the way that physical books are treated like sacred objects

look at me. you’re allowed to exist and have a physical impact on things and leave a mark on the world in whatever way that looks like

#like i know some people love to treat them as symbols of intellectual superiority but also has an element of ocd to it im not gonna lie #it’s ok if you write in a book or dog ear the pages or show signs that you existed to read it #feel like most people dont even examine why they feel this way but every so often ill see an argument about preservation #as someone who (very briefly) studied old books in college and would love the opportunity to one day do more #the books with marginalia. the ones that had been re-bound. the ones that had been lived in and ‘abused’#were SO much more characterful and interesting #but also i promise you no one will give a shit that there’s another pristine copy of a second third fourth printing of percy jackson #and i get it. sometimes you’re just getting a book for class and you’ll need to sell it back afterward and you want to keep it in good con #that’s fine. i appreciate that. i feel like most of the books i got for school were on the fair to poor scale #my mom is one of those people who is afraid to use anything in case it looks used and she can’t resell it and i’m like.then what’s the point #she sent me a video of someone re-binding a book and went ‘i could see you doing that if you had a second copy!!’ why #if something moved me enough to want to celebrate it by personalizing it. why do i need to also have a pristine version #this way of treating books just feels so performative and exhausting yknow #idk #mine

I am just as nitpicky as anybody else when it comes to characters I'm obsessed with. But I don't find people who mischaracterize them nearly as annoying as people who write condescending posts about others who mischaracterize them which seem more motivated by feeding their own superiority complex about Being The One Person to Understand Mr Blorbo rather than giving any constructive advice.

#like. listen we know theres a bit of a problem with media literacy at the moment #but is making teenagers feel stupid for the way they interpret a fictional guy REALLY that deep?#really?#disclaimer: when i say mischaracterize i mean like. simply not understanding certain personality traits and motivations. harmless stuff #not assumptions that are based in bigoted stereotypes #anyway. yes im sure you understand The Character better than anybody. i believe you #im sure we all have a superiority complex about The Character #but also i think we should maybe take a step back and listen to ourselves every once in a while #and wonder if we maybe sound a bit obnoxious

now this, this is fascinating!

even before any kind of reveal, test tube is under the impression that a contestant's existence is dependent on the game they're in -- she doesn't think this season should exist, that it's a mistake, and likewise, she doesn't think these contestants should exist either, that they're a mistake too: a mistake as a by-product of the mistake that is inanimate insanity infinity ever occurring as a season. she doesn't even think that these new characters could've already existed, living their own lives, just recruited by salt and pepper... no, she thinks they were made. and...

...oh. damn.

yeah okay the twist wasn't even a twist, was it?

#melonposting #ii spoilers #ii 16 spoilers #also... there's a point made that all of the contestants here are zany and unserious like lightbulb #which is why she initially gets along with them. because in a lot of ways she's the same #you can imagine both they and lightbulb were made that way as contestants. that's the archetype they were made to full #but lightbulb has been able to develop past just that. she's more. she's not a flat character #maybe it has to do with the fact that she was actually able to compete in the competition? like these guys can't?#lightbulb becomes disillusioned with them because they're her at her most 1-dimensional state #though it's funny -- salt and pep seem to hate their competitors #every time they're generated they end up like this. zany and unserious and ultimately annoying #which suggests that they're not consciously crafting each character #i wonder if it has anything to do with the mephone who generates them? or if it's salt and pep's subconscious (possibly like mephone4)?#it's also fascinating how salt and pepper see the contestants as weird and below them. that the two of them are the only normal ones #the very act of creating them makes them feel superior........ something something.............................#also this is a side note but it's very funny and sad how lighty and tt can win by feeding off of pepper's insecurity #about salt not really liking or respecting her #augh!!!#her 'latching on' to salt...... makes me think of her ii1 elimination and then how salt proceeded to fixate on oj instead #leaving pepper to pine for her somewhat even when they reunited :(

i really think the US should fund spanish lessons starting in elementary school on a national level

#i think the national attitude towards spanish is really embarrassing...#and ok semi-unrelated but the guy i was involved w in college who always wanted to make me feel stupid over every thing #tried to tell me that my spanish minor was a waste of time and not useful #guess what language he studied #german #😐 ok if u never leave the midwest i guess #but he was like no german is the superior language in every way. why would you study spanish there's no point #but he also told me as a linguistics major ''no one uses python'' so really it was just anything *i* studied that had to be silly

idg bullies bc if you think someone is committing some sort of social sin... why aren't u stepping in to help them, why are you watching them fuck up? clearly its important enough to you that you try to socially punish the fellow, if this is a social cause you are so very impassioned about, why not help that person not fuck up?

or... did you just want to laugh at someone fucking up? bc at that point you're providing nothing to anyone besides just being an asshole but hey ig some people are proud of their assholes so

#to me its just an unnecessary energy #like i have shit to do i have chores to go home and get to why are you wasting both of our time being an ass #what is this doing for anyone besides fueling your narcissism #cool bud happy for you and your fleeting superiority complex as soon as i leave the room #i wonder how you make yourself feel like you're better than everyone when im not around- oh yeah its bc you go online #and spread your disease-like assholery elsewhere so then everyone becomes an asshole and no ones happy #no one can be sincere... everything hidden under a million layers of irony... stuffing every last emotion down bc emotions are cringe #or whatever...#idk. i dont like the artificiality of every social interaction these days. i feel like the only genuine ppl i meet are like. old ladies lol #everyones always got some sort of scheme or some shit... older ladies only care about talking about tea n knitting n shit #you think an old lady has any reason to be shitting on anyone? when shes probably living her best lil humble life?#theyre old they dont have the energy or time to hate anymore all they wanna see are things to love and hey i think everyone should #try to see the world that way. they know they dont got a lot of time left so they're more appreciative and nicer (usually)#you never know when you'll run out of time so why not start appreciating now?#why spread hate when you can be love. cheesy but its true

i really wish i'd stop assuming i'm in trouble whenever someone tries to get my attention. bar owner calls me? i've fucked up. co-worker says my name? i've missed something crucial and everyone wants a refund. my brother in christ i would like to stop living like a neurotic horse for fiVE FUCKING MINUTES

#essa's shenanigans #it's exhausting #every damn time #i don't even have any superiors IM THE SUPERIOR #why do i constantly feel like i've done something wrong #always telling people “no worries either way”#I AM WORRIED BOTH WAYS #PLUS A SECRET THIRD WAY

rotating tim drake in my mind like a ballerina in a music box

#i am having so many thoughts #neglected child -> aggressively independent as a result -> introduces himself to the batfam as such #he assigned himself Sole Bat Who Isn't Falling Apart #no time for tim to not be okay #and he wouldn't show it if he was #and then it kinda just stuck that way so it never gets challenged #at least not until the newbies come in #but tim has superiority there so ?????#like that's not how big brothering works #jason and damian are too antagonistic #cass doesn't have the vocabulary and/or is just... away. doing whatever. miss you queen but enjoy your worldly travels #dick is also away a lot because that's what oldest siblings do #when he's not it kinda seems worse tbh #steph has some complicated drama that changes with every fic idk. you'd better believe she's not playing therapist ex/girlfriend tho #duke? maaaaaybe #trying to get a feel for him as we speak but i don't see any reason why not #N E way #tags or whatever #dc #tim drake #batfamily #briony babbles #my other favourite is cass btw #in case you're wondering about my good taste #but i don't have as much context about her yet #dick's okay too but mostly when he's not suffocating as the oldest child in this weird family #which is sad but realistic #free him

(big text post that kind of starts in the middle of a thought but it's my blog so it's fine) (re: twitter)

the thing with people viewing (twt) lando fans as "haters" or "hypocrites" is that in my view, a lot of lando fans are doing it in a mostly retaliatory way, a kind of "you all nitpick and hate on lando for no reason so now i'm gonna do it to your drivers, to be fair/for you to get a taste of your medicine/as revenge bc i want you to suffer the way i did." and furthermore a lot of people nitpicking/pulling out tiny moments from other drivers are doing it in a "if lando did this he would be CRUCIFIED" way and not a "look at this tiny moment that is for real so horrible and disgusting; now send hate" way, and then it gains traction and kind of morphs into something else/actual hate/general discourse that just appears to outsiders as "wow all these people are genuinely upset over this tiny moment and they're yelling at each other/the driver on twitter about it." even many qrts that appear to be straight-up hate, as someone who knows the accounts, are doing it in a "well you've lowered the bar previously so now i'm just stooping to your level. see? how does this feel, hmm?" kind of way. it's all very chip-in-shoulder.

and that's not something i've personally seen from many other fanbases—when they hate on lando (or whoever), they do it in a direct "look at this loser" or "how dare he say this horrible thing" etc way, and i much more rarely see the "my driver would NEVER be allowed to do this; therefore HE (other driver) deserves to be punished for it" sentiment. (and this is very likely because those other drivers have received less widespread online hate to cause this knee-jerk reaction in their fanbases; and, in particular, less hate due specifically to nitpicked out-of-context moments/twisted words/pure misinformation. which i'll say is the most frustrating brand of hate)

and obviously if this continues other fanbases will start doing the same back and it'll be this cycle of "how's a taste of your own medicine you hypocrites" over and over and furthermore this is largely an internet/twitter phenomenon which, echo chambers and reactive communities. but still. and there's no moral or solution to this; it's just something i've noticed.

#as someone in the community i see “but if lando did this...” tweets ALL THE TIME #most of them don't gain traction in the way the max redline thing did #which (at least from what i saw on my limited twitter perusing of late) spiraled super out of control #but this rhetoric is not uncommon. and i get the feeling most ppl outside of the community don't understand where/how exactly it started #my thoughts #there's a lot i've been biting my tongue on bc i will not be one of those people who reacts and responds to every bit of twitter discourse #i like to think i'm above that. yes in a superiority complex way. i'm simply Too Elevated to be spending my energy arguing etc etc #(insert nuance)#but basically this means my drafts are chock full and like. i kind of do want to share some thoughts. generally.#because i have many. and honestly what else is having my own personal blog for
