#i hope it dosent turn tragic

[aryadaiki]

GODDAMN THEY'RE ETHEREAL! Where can I find my own Thesilid 🥺

[thuskindlyshescatters]

I mean if this is Penny's permadeath, then its a very unsatisfying end to her arc, she just got turned human after all that work the others did to save her, and it just feels to cruel for this show that is about hope to leave her on such a downer note that death was the only way she was able to find peace.. thats why I think , or at least hope that she isn't gone forever, she never got a chance to live normaly and do what she wanted and ever since we met her that was her motivation.. to say death was the answer to that just dosent feel right I dunno that's my take, hope this wasn't too negative.

Here’s the thing.

It’s tragic and sad, for all the reasons you listed.

That was the point.

This was a crushing defeat that will forever change the way the characters see themselves and others.

And if you’re sad about it, GOOD! That’s what you were meant to feel! Fiction is, in part, supposed to be a safe way to process grief. Theories about how Penny (or any other dead character, really) is supposed to come back because her death was just so shocking/sad/unfair are a way for people to process their grief over this character, as they rightfully should. But the moment that their denial (i.e. refusing to acknowledge that the events of the show were authentic), anger (i.e. attacking other members of the FNDM for being satisfied with her death), bargaining (i.e. interacting with the creators online as if it will make a difference), or depression (i.e. pushing for others to drop the show) have a negative impact on the FNDM, it’s time to take a step back from the entitlement you feel towards the character and the show.

I know that it’s sad, but from a narrative perspective, that’s just how it goes. I’m not going to criticize the show for killing her because, ultimately, I thought it was narratively justified, but moreover because I have no control over whether or not she comes back.

So theorize all you want. But don’t run it by me.

It will be a breath of fresh air to see him in movies like love actually, proposal etc.

He should consider it. Or even a mini series where he is just a regular person who has relationship issues or job related issues 😂. The line up of movies he has in future dosent give me any hope though. He is again doing a biopic on some spy, similar to courier I guess, David tenent is also reported to play the same role in some other production.

I’m wondering if those both actually might be postponed or ditched now given the war, I think they’ll seem even more outdated than they would have already. He has the Roald Dahl story which does seem sort of fanciful but he is a genius of sorts and The 39 Steps but yeah he does like the high drama. I mean that is where people are more likely to finance him. That’s why I said something small he totally paid for himself. Critics are annoying though—they blast actors for playing the same old roles but then turn right around and label them “miscast” if they even remotely step out of that mold. And tbh I personally rarely buy him as straight so maybe typical rom com wouldn’t be a good idea for him. (Oh and earlier I forgot about that one where his daughter is kidnapped, he played a regular guy in that for sure—but of course something tragic happened to him)

Love live superstar episode 7 thoughts

Spoiler alert for love live superstar episode 7

- student council elections? So ren won’t be there student council anymore? Before the season ends? YES

- I love how kanon is so embarrassed about talking in front of crowds n stuff but she gets dragged to all these things by kuku

- and OF COURSE SUMIRE WILL WANT TO TAKE PART IN IT

- I love how kuku just can’t go a second without teasing sumire

- THAT JOKE WHERE ALL THE GIRLS DRESS LIKE DETECTIVES (?) AND HIDE FROM POLICE REN TO PRACTICE MUSIC KILLED ME!! IT HAD ME ON THE FLOOR DVFJGJVIVK THIS IS GONNA BECOME SUCH A MEME I JUST KNOW IT

- sooooo ren is still student council? Oh oke

- wait the first student council? Wasn’t she the student council before? Can someone please explain this to me in the comments

- I love how kanon isn’t actually shy, yeah she is embarrassed in front of crowds but that dosent mean she’s shy all the time,she has no trouble going to ren and talking to her when needed, I already talked about how much I loved that this anime dosent think that just because someone is anxious in front of crowds it means they are always a shy person all the time in every situation. It makes them feel so real and less cliche, I know I said it before but I really appreciate that

- ren definitely has some tragic backstory behind all this i just know it

- SPY TIME

- HOW DARE THEY NOT PUT INTENSE SPYING MUSIC IN THE SPYING SCENE!!

- MUSE REFERENCE

- yep she’s the rich girl of the group

- the soundtrack here reminds me of undertale

- as someone who’s scared of dogs, this dog chase scene seriously scared me, I was actually scared for the girls and he was so big too! (It also reminded me of riko)

- oh… daaamn… ren does have a tragic backstory……. This sucks…..

- she has no money? but don’t they have to pay for the house? I’m not an adult so I’m not an expert at this but don’t you have money you need to pay once In a while for the house?

- now that I think about it, ren’s life really suck, her dad is dead probably, her mom is sick, she’s all alone in her big house most of the time with no one to talk to besides her dog and has all these insane responsibilities!!! She probably has to worry for food on her own, to take care of her sick mother, be the student council, do school work and she might have to run the whole school on her own!!! and how old is she 15? And if she really needs to pay for her house she might end up homeless!! And she’s all alone in this!! With no help!! And the saddest thing is that her life used to be better then this!! it all just changed and it must be so painful for her!!!

- AND THE EPISODE ENDS LIKE THIS?? DAMN WHY??

Conclusion: WOW JUST WOW. THIS. WAS A PACKED EPISODE !! Rens backstory is so sad!!! I feel so bad for ren now… and I hope she will join the group soon, but there were a lot of funny moments too like, the joke with kuku’s imagination about them hiding from police ren HAD ME DYING ON THE FLOOR!! this is so meme worthy too! I REALLY want to see how things turn out in the next episode. Next episode is probably going to be…. Very angsty tho….

I love John but he has 2 (entirely mutually exclusive) settings:

“Press x to doubt” OR

“My actions don’t have consequences and I Will Die for my loved ones.”

We joke about high int low wis vs. low int high wis characters but our guy John Sims maneges to pivot back and forth between the two with all the grace and good sense of a bull in a china shop. He’s not dumb, he just lives in the present moment— exclusively the present moment, to the point of the complete exclusion of any kind of retrospection or forethought that isn’t tragically(or comedically) delayed. He’s got long, well thought out plans that last exactly as long as the time until he actually needs them, at which point he defaults back to “charge directly in and hope the power of love saves me(the most suspicious and unintentionally overtly creepy man on the European continent).” His entire life is an incredibly long, drawn out, version of one of those “aren’t you tired of being nice? Don’t you just want to go apeshit?” memes. Mr. Jonathan Archivist has 2 brain cells and both of them are occupied 80% of the time resisting the urge to just go hog fucking wild on the veritable Golden Corral of trauma that makes up pretty much any major metropolitan area. He’s not unpredictable because he’s 2 steps ahead or whatever, he’s unpredictable because, to misquote the immortal words of one John Mulaney, “He dosent know what he’s going to do, he’s never been in a hospital the archives the buried the lonely [insert current bullshit here] before!”

Thats why Web!Martin is so compelling. Someone needs to be capable of making a plan that functions as intended for more than 30 consecutive seconds and it sure as fuck isn’t going to be John (Mr. Elias fukcing Bouchard is disqualified from making the plans due to high precantage of bastard). Their best chance of survival is the Beholding taking something resembling pity on its long suffering Archivist and dumping him and Martin out of the lonely on a different continent. Honestly I wouldnt even put that past our dearest Eye as it seems “sapient” enough (compared to the other entities at least) to know when to turn on the tape recorders so that it (and by extension we) are privy to all the juicy and plot relevant details without having to listen to, say, 2 hours of the Archivist manually re-filing all of the physical statements.

What kills me about Oz

Is that time and again we are shown just how soft this man is. He’s a being that is essentially immortal, and tremendously powerful (dwindling magic or no) yet all you ever see him do is care for people. Despite the numerous betrayals he alludes too and even the one he’s honestly facing now from the current group, he doesn’t lash out. He doesn’t fight his incredibly valid position of keeping his secrets. He doesn’t scream that he’s stuck in the same boat as everyone else, that he’s lost and afraid, that all of them are the same as everyone else he’s ever had in his life and just turn away when they see how hard the battle he fights is. No. Ozpin dosent do any of that. He lets everyone throw abuse his way again and again and he accepts it. Worse yet I fear it’s happened so often for so long he believes it himself when people cast blame his way. Ozpin is hands down the most tragic character I have ever seen and I have never felt so at odds with the protagonists of a show as I do now with RWBY. Don’t even get me started on Qrow. I just hope once they have a place to sit and process this all someone will see Ozpins plight for what it is. A man carrying the world on his shoulders and when people make him carry their own mistakes too...he just accepts it.

Married to the mafia [5]

parts: 1 2 3 4 

group: got7 (feat BTS)

genre: mafia au

warnings: violence, angsty

summary: after an arranged marriage with Im Jaebum the notorious mafia leader he finally introduces you to his members.

As you admired the soft honey glow pouring into your room you were interrupted from your trance as the door flung open. Your heart sank in your chest, you looked up at the intruder to find none other then Im Jaebum. His eyes were cold and he was clearly very angry. He didn’t say a word. The tension was suffocating, you held your breath and waited for something to happen. He began walking towards you, he grabbed your arm and dragged you out of your room.

You knew there was little point in resisting, jaebum was pretty strong and he’d just hurt you more if you tried to escape.

The two of you walked down the corridor and down the marble staircase, he lead You towards a suspicious room at the end of the downstairs hallway. You had never been in there before but you had a bad feeling about it.

He swung open the door and his hand moved from your arm to your back, your heart sank even lower when you saw ten pairs of eyes sitting around a glass table staring at you. Jaebum’s expression had changed automatically, he was now smirking as he subtly pushed you through the room he pulled a chair out and gestured for you to sit, you did so hesitantly, taking a brief glance at the people at the table. Jaebum took a seat at the top of the table next to you.

The people in the room were all men, you did spot a few familiar faces - Yugyeom and Mark - but everyone else was a stranger to you.

“Good morning sir!” They all said in unison, the sudden outburst of noise made you flinch a bit which jaebum noticed and placed his hand on you knee underneath the table. You couldn’t tell if he was trying to reassure you or threaten you, either way you flashed him a small smile before looking back at your hands in your lap.

“Well men, please introduce yourselves to my wife, oldest to youngest.” Jaebum asked. Mark stood up, “Hello again y/n- I mean Mrs Im, I’m Mark and my position is sniper, but jaebum asked me to be your bodyguard when we aren’t on a mission.” Mark was smiling, you smiled back. He sat down and a man you hadn’t seen before stood up, “Hi y/n, yeah it’s me Jinyoung, urm well my job is to basically to sit at a computer all day and detect any threats and to hack into security systems and things like that.” You weren’t quite sure what to say, you knew jinyoung was in the mafia but you never knew he worked for jaebum, “that sounds interesting, nice to see you again,” You said kind of awkwardly. You turned to look at jaebum who was suprisingly staring right back at you, it wasn’t long before his gaze became uncomfortable and you were forced to turn away. A cough came from one of the members which made you switch your attention. He was already stood up, “m-my name is Youngjae, my job here is to just be a doctor and fix these guys up after missions, I was away on your wedding night on a business trip so I wasn’t able to help Mr Im but I heard that you did a good job getting him proper care, thank you for that.” He sounded so sincere and kind your heart practically melted, “thank you for taking care of him before I arrived.” You smiled, you glanced at jaebum briefly. “Oh my turn!” A rather lanky member stood up, “my name is kunip- just call me Bambam, my area is the money aspect of things oh and the drugs-“ jaebum let out a very fake cough and widened his eyes at the young man, “t-that we defiantly don’t do! We would never get involved with drugs never!” He gave a not so subtle wink to jaebum who was looking very annoyed. Yugyeom sprung to his feet, “hi, um my job is to be kind of like an assassin, but don’t worry I’m good at it I only kill the bad guys!” Yugyeom justified, you chuckled.

“Nice to meet you all, my name is y/n,” you announced, you turned to jaebum, “if that’s all I think I’ll be going now, have a nice day everyone.” You got up and left so fast jaebum didn’t have time to pull you back.

You ran upstairs and locked yourself in yours and jaebum’s bedroom. you heard jaebum shouting from downstairs however you just buried your head in your pillow and covered your ears. there was no escape from him, sure you might be married but that dosent change the fact you barely know each other.

being by yourself like this gave you a little time to think.

you thought about your wedding night and how the euphoria of the day was probably the reason why you felt so relaxed around a total stranger, you realised you forced your feelings for him to try and protect yourself in hopes it would make your situation feel a little bit more normal but at the end of the day you couldn't hide from the fact Jaebum intimidated you, he didn't seem to reciprocate any affection. perhaps he only saw you as a businesses deal.

you thoughts were cut off by the door slamming open, this time it wasn't Jaebum, it was Jinyoung. “hey stranger,” he said closing the door and walking towards the bed, “did he send you?” you raised your eyebrow and slowly backed away. he chuckled, you relaxed. “no,no quite the opposite actually. I want you to sneak in on their mission,” he announced taking a seat on your bed. “you want me to do what?!” you were shocked, going against his leader was pretty dangerous and you were shocked that he’d ask you to do something like this. “well, not me. it was more of your sisters idea, she's got some pretty out of the box ideas in that head of hers,” he chuckled, “nowhere near the bloody box” you muttered under your breath, “what was that?” “oh nothing,” “oh okay, well Jiwoo got permission from Jaebum’s father, they both agreed this would somehow help you two bond or something I don't know.” you were confused to say the least, your hopelessly romantic sister sending you on a mission that would possibly end with your tragic death.

you weren't scared of going on a mission, you'd done that quite a few times, you were scared of what would happen when Jaebum found out one of his members, his new wife, his new sister-in-law and his own father had gone behind his back in hopes of him catching some sort of feelings towards his wife.

Jinyoung returned back downstairs to jaebum and the other members as jaebum briefed them for their mission meanwhile, you were in the back of a van heading towards a rival gang headquarters hoping jaebum would arrive before a bullet was put between your eyes.

as the van zoomed into the heart of the enemy you couldn't help but feel excited, you had missed the thrill of the action ever since your marriage had been arranged your mother kept you locked inside so she could spend time with you before you moved out.

The plan was, you would go in make a deal load the van with the crates of weapons and get out. however, Jinyoung had made a discovery whilst hacking into their security, they planned to ignore the deal and take out Jaebum’s gang as they were their biggest threat. this meant you no longer went with the intention of making a deal, now your mission was to take out the leader and bring him back to the Im family warehouse for questioning, with or without Jaebum’s help.

then you got a text. 

from Jaebum.

listen, Im going out. use this time to get over yourself because when I get back you aren't hiding from me anymore your going to start behaving like my wife and that means sticking by my side, not running away every five minuets -Jaebum.

you let out a long breathy sigh. what an arrogant jerk. you shoved your phone back in your pocket after turning it off so it wouldn't hit off any nearby cell towers the enemy can use to track or hack your phone.

the van stopped.

before you knew it you were face to face with one of Jaebum’s biggest rival gang leaders Kim Namjoon. 

“well, well, he really sent his little girlfriend to do his dirty work” he said with a disgusting smirk on his face. his men laughed at stopped when he signalled. 

“well princess, lets make a deal.”

By the time Jaebum and his members pulled up you had already taken out most of Mr Kims men and locked the others in the nearby public toilets, now you were waiting patiently with a gun pressed against Mr Kim’s temple.

“What the fuck happened- y/n?” Jaebums face portrayed a mix of confusion and relief which quickly changed to pure anger. “Y/N! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING, WHY ARE YOU MESSING WITH THE MISSION?!” Jaebum yelled in your face. His hot breath tickled your skin. “Puh-lease, I saved this mission. Just help me get this creep in the van and then I can go back home- or whatever you call that place.” You sighed. Jaebum didn’t move he just called mark and yugyeom to take the man off your hands. Then you caught a glimpse of a familiar face.

“W-whats Mr Wang doing with you?” You whispered. “What do you mean he’s - oh right yeah, that was just a little test I put together. Jackson’s just a member of my gang.” Jaebum said. You sighed, another test.

“Okay men get into the van.” Jaebum ordered. Everyone followed his command but he pulled you back.

“We need to talk about your behaviour when we get home and I won’t take no for an answer.” He whispered into your ear every word twisting your insides. You stepped into the van and out of the cold bitter night.

You stayed silent the whole journey, the piercing glare of Im Jaebum kept you too intimidated to speak.

“We’re here.”
