I love how they didn't even read out the whole exchange bc it wasn't that relevant but they did leave the whole screenshot in because they knew we'd feast on the domestic-ass back and forth like feral cats. and they were right. WANT TO CALL DO YOU WANT SOME COMFIES

rewatching s1 meljay scenes just to feel something and while I want to do an analysis of their relationship to argue against every bonehead that touts "mel manipulated jayce" I got to the end where jayce tells the council to go fuck themselves BUT THEN POINTEDLY TURNS TO MEL AND SOFTLY SAYS "Except you. You were right. You were always right." And I CRY OKAY. Her eyes widen and it sinks in that there's someone who supports the same vision of peace she has, who VALIDATES her views. And one of the LAST scenes is them smiling at one another when the council agrees to Zaun's independence. They made peace without going to war. Without using hextech and corrupting jayce and viktor's dream. Without compromising mel's values.

And then s2 fucked that all up.

another reason i think that xie lian felt an instant connection on the ox cart is because he and hua cheng both grew up in xianle.

there are maybe 4 people still alive that grew up in that culture. based on my own experience, you can pick up on things like accent, cadence, references, and humor that suggest a person is from the same place as you without consciously noticing it. that sense of comfort and similarity probably played into their instant chemistry.

I'm gonna make a prediction.

In, let's say 2027, if when we get to season 3, the pjo fandom is gonna reach shrimp colors levels of unbearable.

First because Titan's Curse is a very important, tone shifting book, and i'm not at all certain they'll be able to pull off. I'm gonna wait for season two before I choose to abandon hope.

Second, Nico di Angelo. I don't think I need to elaborate on that and I already feel bad for whatever kid they cast for the role

Third, with the introduction of Nico and Rachel, we're gonna have a new influx of percico and perachel shippers, either from old fans interacting with the new content or newer fans that think their dynamic is interesting. And from what I've seen from the show fans, they tend to forget that these books are almost 20 years old and had decades of content before the Disney adaptation, and the percabeth shippers are going to say the only reason percico and perachel are being shipped is because of racism towards Leah.

Now, I'm not saying that this fandom isn't racist. It is. Towards the fans of color, the characters and the actors — especially Leah. And yes, fandoms in general tend to magically think that the characters "don't have chemistry" or have "sibling energy" when the love interest is a black woman.

But perachel and percico predate the show and Leahbeth by years. I don't personally ship it because some people tend to do that by saying Annabeth is abusive with Percy — which I think is a result of double standard fandoms tend to have with girls and a deep misunderstanding of annabeth's character.

But what really worries me is that at that point we're gonna have 3 seasons of the show's characterization of annabeth (so far, not great) as well as tsats², the third book of the cashgrab trilogy and Richard's writing gets worse with each book. And while I don't think the pjo percabeth dynamic is abusive, the one from the recent books is... Not great. Other people have talked about this already but the only way Rick knows how to write them nowadays is to turn annabeth into a girlboss and Percy as this lovesick loser who can't tie his own shoes without the help of his girlfriend.

So the antis are gonna have plenty of material and i'm not looking foward to that

the fact that irving canonically survives through the end of asunder to be at wynne's funeral is so fucking funny to me. nothing but love and respect for MY unstoppable cockroach morally grey machiavellian mage dad!!! he's survived in his position through multiple attempted rites of annulment and blood mage plots popping up left right and center around him. the chantry keeps trying to stamp him out but his dodge game is simply out of this world, divine. civil wars, political machinations and minefields, chantry atrocities, this wily old motherfucker is dodging and weaving his way through it all, not-quite-no-hits-taken-running-it-but-honestly-close-enough-under-the-circumstances style. if solas does succeed in tearing down the veil I would fully believe that one of the like three people still alive at the end of it all would be a very weary 90 year old first enchanter irving going 'oh this shit again huh'. the maker has cursed him for his hubris and his paperwork is never finished (affectionate, it's fine he canonically loves paperwork)

I think such a big reason my trans manhood feels almost... bigendered is simply because in the eyes of most people (specifically cis people with whom I interact with most), I straddle this weird line wherein I am a man and often am seen as one, but I am also clearly undefinable insofar as cis theory goes, clearly queer, clearly outside of manhood if one only accepts cishet, patriarchal manhood. This definitely used to be a source of dysphoria for me, but I think now that I've transitioned, it's been interesting to explore this more. Am I wholly a man? Yes. Am I a man of multitudes? Yes. Do these multitudes contradict? Well, that depends on your definition of "contradiction"

[silvers-starrway]

So the wildest thing happened where @mactheactor decided to dub over (if that's even the correct terminology) the Chaos Sonic animation I made!!!!

I'm still in utter awe about this like, hands down the coolest thing ever I've been thinking about this non-stop. Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I do!!
