I'm not a big disney fan outside of childhood nostalgia but every time I see one of those prince rankings I'm like ok but I could rank them better. and I happened to be bored so I did
some mentions I have to make so people don't wonder:
flynn rider: basic choice. scientifically engineered to be a hot man. no bite or edge to him. if you look at concept art he was supposed to be a big guy but they changed him to this market researched douche with a soul patch. absolute travesty
aladdin: heās cute and good-hearted, lies to get his way but learns to be true to himself. lessons we all learn in life. next
jim: has the best song. i too want the moment to be real
phoebus: mmm. ehh
prince charming: literally what it says on the tin. storybook prince. not a man, a plot device
cinderella's prince: has a thing for feet. nice. funny in the sequels but a cardboard box is more interesting than his design
and now the top 10:
10. hercules: hunky demigod himbo. true hero is tested by the strength of his heart. the lesson all gym bros need to learn.
9. quasimodo: has heart and character, and sang āout thereā like an angel.
8. prince eric: spends all his days with his dog and playing the recorder. who let him out of containment. too nervous to kiss a girl he likes even though she is sending obvious signals. he wants to get the know her better. king
7. tarzan: loin-clothed hunk with the facial structure of a statue. roams the jungle to the tunes of phil collins. loves his mom without being weird about it. prime man
6. the beast: eye and soul candy for the monsterfuckers. hot take but he wasnāt that bad as a human. he was hot. especially when you consider that his backstory included him being so snobby and vain that he was turned into the beast. like isn't that the consequences of your actions pretty boy. love to see it
5. milo: linguist. has round glasses and that 90s curtain haircut. all features that can indicate sleeziness but he is a good guy, meaning sometimes a man with round glasses and 90s curtain haircut can be trusted. a lanky charming nerd and therefore my exact type unfortunately
4. kenai: excellent protagonist. so deep in the throes of toxic masculinity he gets turned into a bear. isn't that the consequences of your actions pretty boy
3. shang li: bisexual king. nothing more to add.
2. prince naveen: now I may come from a protestant culture but a lazy jackass learning the value of hard work and love is what itās all about. a dish. gets turned into a frog, isn't that the consequences of your actions pretty bo-
1. robin hood: āhe's a fox hahah furry" FUCK YOU. HE IS THE FINEST MAN OUT THERE. HE HANGS OUT WITH HIS BEST FRIEND IN THE WOODS. HE HAS BEEN TRUE TO HIS SWEETHEART SINCE CHILDHOOD. he thinks heās not good enough for her, but in a chivalrous way instead of pathetic. steals from the rich and gives to the poor. great with kids. they donāt make men like this anymore, and with that I mean men of integrity. āMARIAN MY DARLING I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF.ā (CRIES)(THROUGH TEARS) LOVE IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY YOU WERE JUST A CHILD AT PLAY
#nor's rambles#does not include commentary on why disney turns all their poc protagonists into animals. saving that for some other time#i love to see a man learn a lesson

Whatās the relationship like between Peppino and Fake Pep? I wonder what its like to be friends with a literal clone of yourselfā¦
hoo boy, it's a very interesting thing indeed! (and something i'm WAY too enthusiastic about sharing my ideas about hehehe šš§) especially when the clone of yourself is completely different from you in morals, tastes, actions, interactions..... just about the only thing that's similar is looks.
that's not to say that Peppino and his Fake don't get along though! it's gotten... better since Fake Peppino first showed up at Peppino's Pizza and then refused to ever leave. at least Fake Peppino has no desire to kill Peppino any more, he's a fellow Peppino and that would just be rude! not to mention how he regrets trying to kill him before... but it's all fine now!!
Fake treats Peppino with a decent amount of respect, part of it just because he considers Peppino a friend now, and part of it being how badly Peppino kicked his ass for things in the past. there's still an awful lot of things Fake Peppino does that makes most normal people uncomfortable... Peppino included. making inhuman noises, hiding in cramped spots just to jump out and spook you, eating things that definitely aren't meant to be eaten... Fake's fairly comfortable in his new home, and while Peppino feels a lot better about him, there's still times that it makes him feel a bit... anxious.
seeing something that once tried to kill you and still acts very off sometimes, acting as if you're a dear friend and snuggling up to you like a beloved family dog, that IS a little bit... uncomfortable, to say the least. but at least things could be worse... Fake could still be trying to kill Peppino like he was made to do.
there ARE a lot of things that Fake Peppino does though, in attempts to actually benefit Peppino. whether or not these are ACTUALLY good things is very debatable. clearing out any pest that make their way in is pretty nice at least, but then there's the more... questionable things that Fake does to try and help. for example, Fake doesn't tolerate any kind of rudeness towards Peppino or his restaurant. he still considers himself a Peppino in a sense, and sees the pizzeria as both Peppino's AND his own, so insulting either of those is the last thing you want to do.
do NOT ever behave in an unruly manner, or say rude things about Peppino in his pizzeria. you never know who might be listening...
... or that it might be the last mistake you ever make. be wary while making your way home after that... there might just be something that's tagged alongside you.
.... it IS a little worrying to Peppino that most rude customers never seem to show up again... but maybe they just stuck to their word and left? surely that's the explanation for it... Fake Peppino does look rather well-fed today though... but ah well... at least that's less angry customers to deal with?
but see, Fake Peppino DOES genuinely care for Peppino's well-being now! and Peppino, though still fairly wary, is at least thankful that he's not a threat to him. so while it's not exactly the most comfortable life, at least Fake doesn't cause Peppino any trouble... not that he knows much about.
but it WOULD help him feel a bit better, if Fake Peppino's instincts would stop acting up from time to time. there's only so many times that Fake's "kill and/or eat Peppino" brain instincts can kick in before it starts getting real uncomfortable. but at least he's not ACTUALLY trying to kill Peppino... it just tends to be that from time to time, Peppino might find himself getting licked or gently nibbled on. a wee bit unsettling when it's meant to be a clone of yourself doing that.... at least he's not really eating you??
so... uncomfortable at times, but could be worse! Fake Peppino can be fairly handy to have on hand too, a nice helper for cleaning and keeping watch! just.... don't worry about where some of the ruder customers have been going... i'm sure they're just fine.
#ahhh an Italian Man and his Gooey Messed-Up Clone version of himself..... a truly wonderful duo indeed!! šāØ#i... MAY have gotten carried away with this with my love of writing Character Interactions... it got uhhh a little long š#i have been having a lot of fun lately thinking about my Peppino and Fake's relationship though! of course not THAT kinda relationship...#- Peppino just sees his Fake as well... a weird family member? maybe not a brother that's too personal..... weird step-cousin??#he DOES still tend to treat Fake like a person though. he's not about to dehumanize him even if he IS pretty weird sometimes.#but he's learned the most important lesson of all over time... treat Fake Peppino with respect and he shall do the same!#you don't want to know what happened to the people who didn't show Fake any respect..... šš#my art#pizza tower#pizza tower peppino#pizza tower fake peppino#pizza tower gustavo#also. *winks at the camera at me drawing Peppino and Gustavo lying in the same bed together* šš§#they were having a nice night's rest together.... until the resident Gooey Lap Dog arrived. š§

the never stop blowing up vhs is where cute twinks go to get harmed
#not art#nsbu spoilers#kirk blade.... johnny manhattan..... maybe tenuously cosmo chase#also genuinely I Love that vic ethanol is showing himself to be bit of a dick#and kingskin conversely First Actual Communication With The Player is like. idk I just work here#(I am vibrating in my seat abt liv bloodlust. shes experiencing a bit of emotional consequence. hope she powers thru it and#becomes even worse)#I also love that g13 and jack manhattan are both like. gone#I know in adventuring party they're charting it to shape up as like. usha also slowly losing herself to the work like g13 did#and them becoming one entity entirely in the sense that their selves stop mattering in the face of their hacker capacity#(also called the Forum Moderator Dilemma)#but I also like to think that g13 handed it back to usha cleanly in the second episode with that one interaction#and is now fully unplugged from everything. left the movie. man is Sleeping#we all agree that paula ate jack manhattan tho I think it's fine to assume that#and! the way russell has been like. fully going whole hog full tilt into helping other people and moving the plot along#while Suggesting That Doing Self Reflection And Learning Lessons From This World Might Help to Other People#like I love that. 1/lieutenant syndrome but also 2/extremely transfem coded#like past the ''ohh I have realisationd I'm coming to'' stage. far past. man is bored with thinking abt genders#not new realisation to him! had that thought two decades ago. not motivated enough by anything to change anything#I think I just love the scenario of like magical mystical journey in a fantasy world clearly designed to make you contemplate ur gender#and ur like oh no what? we did that years ago. whats up#deeply interested tho. open up russell we wanna see whats up with u#dang is perfect no note 10/10 more important than anything else he is genre aware and savvy and that truly is all he needs here#the ''let's make it fun'' scene he does with liv is SO good I love him. Im so scared the vhs will snatch him away. hes too genre perfect

s3 episode 11 thoughts
dare i say itā¦ new favorite episode?
whatever expectations i had, they were blown away. usually the episode after a two episode arc feels weird and stiff, but this? this hit every box on a checklist i didnāt even know i had.
iām bouncing off the walls right now. i'm pacing my room and mumbling to myself while gesticulating wildly. i am filled with an energy that caffeine has not ONCE given me. and it's called "your character, that is so near and dear to you, got an episode dedicated just to exploring their inner life and workings and belief system and faith in God and the world". try it if you get a chance.
so let us begin. let me give you my verbatim notes, so you can watch the excitement grow.
oh boy! oh boy oh boy! i am excited! and i know by now to not expect any real continuation from the last episode, but iām still excited because the last two were so good! and this one is likeā¦ good omens? with a kid that can start the end of the world?
wow. never have i thought to myself, how would mulder and scully handle biblical revelations? but here i am. wondering it.
hope the kid is chill. hope he has good vibes. mulder will like him anyway because heās actually a huge softie but still better if heās got good vibes.
we open on a sermon. the priest or pastor- depending on the denomination- whatever his title is, he is talking about faith. saying that miracles are real. and now heās shaking and moaning. is this one of those churches?
OH HEāS BLEEDING from between his knuckles like some sort of blood wolverine. people are looking at him, thinking, what is going on? and this is something i am also wondering. maybe it was fake thoughā¦. little capsules in his hands, maybe???
heās dabbing off his makeup now. as a man enters his dressing room. saying that some people really do believe. but heās being weird.
and then this guy escalates to murder. and when he touches this pastor heās burning up??? huh??? a firebender?? in pennsylvania??
THE INTRO WAS DIFFERENT AGAIN THIS TIME. WHY DOES IT CHANGE. i have come to know these beats VERY well!! they are like a heartbeat to me. you cannot simply alter them as you see fit!
scully looking at the body of the dead pastor/priest, talking about how it looks like rope burns around his neck. mulder crouching VERY close by.
HEHEHEHEHE mulder is like āhe was bleeding from his hands like the crucifixionā and scully goes āstigmata?ā heheheheheeeee iām blushing
(talking about belief systems is apparently a way to my heart? like c'mon, tell me how you understand the universe and which elements you surrender to knowing that you will never comprehend. you look cute while doing it)
no wounds on the hands, thoughā¦ so mulder licks the blood. and i froze JUST as scully makes this horrified face... iām CRYING. yes, it is fake blood, and yes, he has some on his lips and teeth, and yes, its adorable. but what a risky move!
ohhh he was wearing a sugar pump sort of thing! yum yum. couldn't be me, i'd be slurping that.
so mulder has been tracking religious murders related to stigmatics (excellent word!)
scullyās talking about how certain people believe at any given time there are 12 stigmatics in the world. and they represent the 12 apostles. and iām blushing terribly.
nods solemnly. i am learning a lot about myself through this show.
scully you are so preeeeetty.Ā
okay, cut to elementary school in ohio. kevin is blowing spitballs. his teacher is bullying him into doing math on the board. when all of a sudden, his hands start bleeding!! and we see that he has the holes!!!
heās in the nurseās office still when mulder and scully show up. damn how did they get to ohio that fastā¦ OHHH they had put out an FBI alert and maybe this happened more than once.Ā yes, this is exactly what is explained mere moments after i made the initial comment.
so it happened BEFORE, and they assumed it was an incident of abuse, but it wasnāt proven. still, his dad was institutionalized after saying Kevin was chosen by God. okay! things escalated.Ā
scully is talking to the boy. she feels his forehead and says he feels feverish. okay doctor!! and she says he is very brave. queen. smart and kind.
mulder is meeting kevinās mom. explaining that he might be in danger from a religious fanatic.
oh! the thermometer in his mouth broke. straight up exploded. hope that was fake mercury in there.
theyāre going to put kevin back āinto the shelterā which i feel like would make him an easier target for a serial killer?? but on the off chance it WAS his mom, it would make him safer. so mixed feelings here.
mom yells at the teacher, teacher says she loves her job, and mulder has this excellent smile. then waves scully out to leave. it was kinda funny to me for some reason, the waving her out. quite domestic.Ā
mulder thinks the kid did the cuts to himself to get his father back. hmm. not buying it. so they go to talk to kevin's dad.Ā
dad claims the forces of darkness have been watching kevin. in the great war between good and evil. heās really talking to scully and he says they just ācome full circle to find the truthā. she says dude idk what that means?? and he says āyou willā okay... iām creeped out a bit!!!
kevin is back at the childrenās home. telling a bunch of other kids scary stories. and he seems to be explaining a scary guy who is walking into the building as the storytelling goes on. just as the scary guy enters, all the kids leave. scary guy is looking at the wounds on kevinās hands!
soon after, mulder is with the group of children who saw the guy. we learn here that mulder is 6 foot 1. which is very funny.Ā
kevin was abducted by the fellow it seems he was describing before his arrival!!! and his mom seems to blame scully. she looks really upset.
they see the drawing that they think does not look like a real person, and kevinās mom is like itās owen, who did the yard work.Ā
so itās owen time. heās carved noahās ark and he has kevin. but he says he canāt let him go home. because it isnāt safe. he refers to himself as kevinās guardian angel.Ā hmm. that makes me suspicious.
owen grabs a shotgun when a car pulls up. but the agents get him to put it down and scully is on a quest to find the little dude. and he was thereā¦ but now he isnāt?
so owen says God asked him to protect kevin.Ā
OH ANGRY MULDER IS GONNA QUOTE SCRIPTURE AT YOU!!!!! now give him some DAMN ANSWERS!
owen is like, well YOU believe, donāt you scully, because you have that necklace on. heās calling her a BAD CHRISTIAN??? the audacityā¦.
then owen gets up and JUMPS OUT THE WINDOW??? and runs away??? somehow??
(mulder jumped down from the porch to chase owen, and his big coat floated around him like a cape... i giggled)
now where did this dude go...?
kevin made it home!!! heās yelling for his mom. she doesnāt seem to be there, but someone rang the doorbell. and we only see a quick glance but it LOOKS like the killer!!!Ā
who burns off the doorknob with his firebending!!! so yes, it is the og killer from the start of the episode! he comes in and asks for kevin. saying he knows heās here.
mom, now would be a good time to roll up with a gun.Ā
he picks up a family photo and sees kevin in a picture then checks the closet to see if heās in there but kevin is in the hamper. and the hamper is bleeding!!! dead giveaway.Ā
but owen rolls up just as the firebender guy opens the hamper, and starts fighting for him!! so kevin is making a break for it!!!
he runs and runs and RUNS INTO MULDER!!!! scully is telling him that he will be okay.
they only find dead owen. no firebender.
and kevin asks scully if she was sent to protect himā¦ she does not seem to know what to say because. do you mean like by the government... or jesus?
autopsy time!!!! sheās talking into the voice recorder like always. it always gives vlog energy. anyway, his body looks very much alive. despite the very much dead thing.Ā
mulder interrupts this. and scully asks him to SMELL the dude. he obliges. with only a smirk!
scully says he smells a bitā¦ floral.
OMG!! OMG I RECOGNIZE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. they talk about it in the brothers karamazov, how a holy body is said to stay intact and even smell good when it ought to be decomposing. so the real question is: is she imagining it?
i mean, she is the body expert. so iād want to say no. but also, this dude was playing with her head. so itās hard to say. i'd think she would identify the body correctly no matter what, but a little smell hallucination thanks to the power of suggestion cannot be ruled out in any situation.
AND SHE TALKS ABOUT IT!! apparently it is something you learn in catechism. okay, well i just picked it up from that summer i got through that book, but we all learn somewhere. mulder is like āyouāre serious?ā and i feel he should be encouraging this open discussion rather than ridiculing it. AND SHE STARTS NAMING SAINTS IT HAPPENED TO!
mulder is saying that those things didnāt really happen, and iām not taking this from alien man.
mulder has transitioned into listening mode now. OH! SCULLY! she says:
āisnāt a saint or a holy person just another term for someone whoās abnormal?ā
ādo you really believe that?ā
āiā¦ believe in the idea that Godās hand can be witnessed. i believe he can create miracles, yesā
āeven if science canāt explain them?ā
āmaybe thatās just what faith isā
YES! YES I AM CHEERING AND JUMPING UP AND DOWN. we were owed a scully-centric episode, and never did i even THINK we would get something so aligned with my interests that weād start exploring her religious beliefs and how that intertwines with her faith in science and her work. that sounds like something iād write a fic for because itās hyper specific to my interests. but no. this is CANON!
mulder is saying that she shouldnāt get swept up in these things (and how ironic that the roles are reversed! itās exquisite. weāve found his weak point, heāll believe in anything but a Christian God)
scully is lost in thought. taking a deep breath. steeling herself.
pause. itās a scene change. but mulder has a pencil in his teeth. itās adorable, really. he takes it out to write something.
they pulled prints from owenās neck!! burned right onto the skin. and they found who did it!! the man i was previously calling the firebender, his real name is simon gates, one of the southās wealthiest men, arrested 3 years ago on a DUI.Ā
so then he went to israel, and this is how i learned of something called ājerusalem syndromeā, where people come back from the holy land with religious delusions. i have not heard of this before. but it could be a motive. except for the whole burning fingerprints into necks thing. i'm unfamiliar with any sort of place turning you into prince zuko.
okay, so someone saw kevin with his mom the same time he was seen with a social worker??? doubles?? twins??? ghosts??
kevin and his mom are on the side of the road with a broken down car, when who pulls up but SIMON!!
she asks what he wants and he says āi think you knowā, then kevin makes a break for it.
now. can an old man outrun a child? children have small legs, but boundless energy.
BUT HEāS RUNNING?? AND ANOTHER KEVIN GETS OUT OF THE CAR??? to talk to his injured mom. then running kevin DISAPPEARED!!! AND MOM HITS THE DUDE WITH A CAR!!!
sadly, it wasnāt out of excellent aim that she hit him, but rather because she had her face smacked into the ground by simon and was concussed or something similar. she drove into a ditch.Ā
NO!!! KEVIN IS SAYING SHE DIED BECAUSE OF HIM. DEATH??? I JUST THOUGHT WE WERE DEALING WITH CONCUSSION HERE?
i guess it can be a quick trip from one to the next. but i'm sad for poor kevin.
scully is near him, telling him she promises she wonāt let simon hurt kevin. OH LORD, YOU GOT HER PROMISING THINGS, SMALL CHILD.
he doesnāt want to go back to the shelter. and she says he doesnāt have to. are they going to take this small child for a bitā¦.?
she avoids mulderās gaze when telling him she wants kevin to come with them, saying she is not getting personally involved, but like mulder is gonna complain having a kid around.Ā
(he actually didn't seem to have his typical instincts kick in today. how curious...)
and turns out simon rented the car under the name of one of the devilās disciples. yikes!
so creepy simon is watching this go down despite being hit by a car.Ā
back to the motel. scully is running kevin a bath and sees he has a big scratch on his side. from the crashā¦ or?
mulder is fake pouting. āyou never draw my bathā JCHDJSBJSND
sheās freaked out because she knows that cut was NOT there before. OH? is it the jesus spear thing??
she is busting out her theological training- he could be in two places at once, like st. ignatius! and mulder is talking about how it was all a metaphor, that bible. mulder, if you are dismissive ONE more time...
OH, I GASPED AT THIS NEXT PART. HOLD ON I NEED TO WRITE THIS DOWN:
āhow is it that youāre able to go out on a limb whenever you see a light in the sky, but youāre unwilling to accept the possibility of a miracle, even when itās right in front of you?ā
āi wait for a miracle every day, but what iāve seen here has only tested my patience, not my faithā
āwell, what about what iāve seen?āĀ
UGH. how PERFECT is that dialogue!!! how brilliant is that exchange!!! why is what she has seen less believable than his x files and aliens and beasts? he spends so long looking to his own stars that heās forgotten others can form constellations as well. and how often does the narrative favor him, his thoughts running like a prey animal, chasing and chasing any sort of lead. why canāt she have something that cuts her to the quick just as deeply?
sure, science is great, science is the building block of her reality. but you canāt change the way you grew up, either, the pattern recognition, the fear of the divine. and sheās never had trouble balancing the two, we just havenāt had a reason to see them interact before, because she generally compartmentalizes the day to day world and the spiritual- and how many of us can say we do the same? probably most, if we believe in anything at all. but then it comes straight to a head- and after she has been through so much as well, losing her dad, her kidnapping, her coma, losing mulder and her job (which luckily came back), losing her sister forever- is it selfish to want there to be a caring force out in the universe?
but on the flip side, that means that there is real and genuine evil, forces of the devil and hell- unless you think itās poetry, like mulder does. but wouldnāt that explain all the suffering sheās been through? the horrific things this job has showed her? and wouldnāt it be worth it in the end to go through that all if you know it was to be defeated?
okay i just spend so long typing that up the screen went dark. SORRY SORRY IāM COMING BACK I PROMISE!!! I JUST GET EMOTIONAL.
NOOO! a weird noise was heard, so mulder kicks down the now locked door where kevin was supposed to be taking a bath. AND THE WINDOW WAS MELTED OPEN!! so scully basically comes face to face with the evil that must be real if miracles are as well. oh! iām eating this up.
but she promised him he would be safe! so this is not looking good!
she wants to go talk to his father again. and mulder doesnāt want to, but she is NOT taking no for an answer.Ā
kevinās father is not coming up with an answer. the doctors have increased his meds and heās very foggy.Ā
she asks again about the full circle to find the truth thing. and she runs out, in a daze.
mulder gets a call that there has been a simon spotting, but she doesnāt hear; sheās pointing at a recycling bin, saying that itās arrows that form a circle. she thinks heās at a recycling plant; he thinks heās at the airport.
mulder asks if she thinks sheās the one that was chosen to protect him. and she says she doesnāt know; her voice cracks as she says that if sheās wrong, sheāll meet him at the airport. OH! religious burdens, theĀ divine pressure of fate. he watches her leave, looking troubled.
at the recycling plant- and simon IS there, saying kevin has to die, for everyone, so the new age will come. and his hands are bleeding again. all the others were false.
SCULLY AMBUSH!!! but simon is taking him into a recycling chopper. AND HE DROPS HIM IN!!! we see chopping occur!!! but it was SIMON AND NOT KEVIN THAT WAS CHOPPED!!! kevin caught himself on the ledge!!!! she pulls him up.
he says he knew sheād come, and they hug so so so tight, and she places a kiss on his head when sheās holding him, and iām gonna cry like a baby
when theyāre getting him around to leave, she says that maybe sheāll see him again sometime, and he says that she will.
and scully looks like sheās crying- i donāt think she is, but she puts her head in her hand- mulder comes in and asks if sheās okay. she says she thinks so, and he holds out her jacket to put on. it might have been the most tender thing i have ever seen. he says they need to go make a statement; she asks him to do it alone, she has to go run an errand.
again, she mostly avoids his eyes. but he agrees, and goes to make the statement alone. he doesn't press.
AND SHE GOES TO CONFESSION???? FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 6 YEARS??? she starts talking about not being able to discuss something with mulder. she asks about miracles; if she was seeing things when it comes to saving kevin, or if she was imagining them.Ā
she doubts herself because mulder didnāt believe them!!!!!!!!!!! and usually he believes without question!!!
maybe they werenāt meant for him, maybe they were meant for YOU, he says. and she asks if this was to bring her back; he says āsometimes we must come full circle to find the truthā
and it makes her afraid!!!! that god is speaking but no one is listening!!!!
WHO THE HELL WROTE THIS EPISODE. NO. NO, HOLD ON IāM GONNA LOOK THIS UP.Ā
KIM NEWTON. KIM. YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO GETS ME ON THIS PLANET. NO ONE ELSE DOES.
wow okay. iām going to be pacing my room about this for 100 years. there are going to be think pieces about this, from me, for the foreseeable future. iām losing my MIND.
i donāt think i could have cooked up a more perfect episode if i had tried. something centered on scully entirely (mulder has had his fair share of attention), something about faith, something where she questions what she holds close and why she holds it close and what it means that she does so at all. what it means for there to be human good and human evil and divine good and divine evil. how god speaks to people and how we listen. or hear things that he didnāt say, like simon did.Ā
holy FUCK i literally could not think of anything better. and i have SO much to say. i already SAID SO MUCH, too. like iām seriously bouncing off the walls right now. whatever love i had for scully before just quadrupled- and who knew this was even possible??
for things to be reversed, for mulder to try and talk her out of a belief, how bizarre that must have felt to him, and how cold it felt. how he just couldnāt see it, how his not being able to see it drove her to doubt herself, how she must doubt herself already, but that sprung everything to the surface. how she doubts that god would use her. and use her for good.Ā
but still, despite his lack of understanding, despite his trying to get her to think rationally- he is there for her, even if he doesn't get it, even if he could have done better. the way he held her jacket while she processed everything, the way he didn't question her needing time for herself. somethings are best left unspoken.
lord, iām gonna have to stop there because if i donāt. i just might never shut up ever ever ever. and i still need to proofread all my raw notes, and iām sure iāll think of something else to say.
i started this episode AN HOUR AND A HALF AGO LMAOOOO i just had SO much to pause and observe and say which is NOT a complaint in the slightest.Ā
wow. new fave episode i think. iāll have to add it to the list.Ā
please let me know what you thought- are there any other scully truthers out there who lost their minds over this? did you like the episode? is it disliked and i'm strange for going on such a ramble? did you have trouble reconciling faith scully and science scully? personally i don't, but i could see how some people might. did you find mulder too dismissive? or did you think he was trying his best? some combination of both? did scully protecting that kid make you emotional? please, spill EVERYTHING. i always want you to spill everything, but now so even more than usual.
#so here we are a full two hours since i started the episode and i still have a million things to say#but my laptop is gonna die soon so maybe that's a sign#ugh mulder was so puzzling to me in this episode. he pushed back on her but i think he realized he had overstepped when she said#āwhat about the things i've seenā i think that put things into perspective for him#i think he realized that this is a two way street when it comes to convictions#and honestly he probably hadn't given any thought into her beliefs before beyond the necklace and the science and the#sort of āit's best not to askā mentality. he doesn't seem like he chats about personal philosophy. philosophy yes but not personal#i do think he learned a lesson here. not to invalidate her emotions and experiences and upbringing#at least i hope so. it seems like he was trying at the end even if he was confused#and you don't HAVE to get it. you never have to get it. you just have to see that something is important to someone you love#and that is enough to know something is worth respecting#man. i tired myself out with this one but i'm sure i'll think of a million other things to add when i fall asleep#ah well. i can make many posts on one subject!#my day was otherwise pretty unremarkable so good to have something to stand out about it#juni's x files liveblog#3x11#the x files#txf

me when someone shows me their chart and they have a strong venus square saturn aspect (especially when coupled with venus in capricorn)
#like i see that and im like ah. i know you've had a very difficult (re: relationships/self love) life your whole life#aka me reading my own chart#LMAO#i feel so bad for anyone else who also has this placement </3#obv it teaches many more lessons thats the silver lining. you learn so much in life about#boundaries self love self worth assertion money management resource management etc#but man is it hard!#luna.txt

hm. i do not like chilshi š¤
#sylph.txt#everyone likes to joke abt how much of an epic divorce man chilchuck is#but i dont think he ever even refers to her as his ex-wife. i could b wrong bc it's been a while since i read it tho#idk a lot of his arc is him learning to b more open w others (which is essentially what ended his relationship)#and u can see how much he's grown in the chapter where senshi goes into his past#to me it would b a lot sweeter for him to take on these lessons and go back to her and make things work#it's been 4 years but he's remained loyal to her depite their issues. idk to me it rlly does feel like he still loves her he's just a fool#it's made p clear that he's a coward and that he's quick to run away so actually committing to her would b a nice way to wrap things up#we don't get to see much of his wife so i get y ppl r quick to put him w the only other man in the party#but like senshi knows abt his wife too like i do not think he's gnna b making any moves here bc he has morals lmao#(*only other older man in the party. laios doesn't qualify for old man yaoi to most chilshi likers)#(even tho chilchuck isn't old either but shh they don't care abt that)#when it comes to senshi the changeling chapter def helped him w understanding how old the rest of the party is#but he clearly still views them as significantly younger than him#i don't think he views chil as a child anymore but for the majority of their time together he did#and so going from that to in a relationship is uhh rlly weird to me!#senshi has always taken a sort of parental role upon himself#w him romance is no where as interesting as the platonic bonds he has w the rest of the party#similar to how romance is entirely unimportant to izutsumi in the succubus chapter#idk i def don't hate the pairing and there r some takes on it that i find funny#but for me i just don't see anything between them i think ppl just want an m/m ship to play with#that ao3 gap is only gnna get bigger lmao

Guys. I did not know before now that writing could be painfully millennial in a full prose book but the pho*nix ke*per has proven me wrong and I have to complain about it in the tags
#k talks#weird astrix is because I don't want this showing up in the tag just in case#but I NEED To complain about this book real quick. I love a magical zoo that part was fun but good lord the main character....#I get what the author was trying to do with her arc and I will say the second half of the book is better than the first but Jesus christ#I hated the main character at the start she is SO annoying. not to be mean I know the whole point is her overcoming her anxiety#but like. I swear to God every two pages was just oooh I'm so awkward I'm such an introvert I'm such an awkward scrawny turtle!!!!#like CONSTANT. even worse though she's mean about it. for like half the book she's just so incredibly judgy at her public outreach job#she literally works at a zoo and has to learn hmmm... zoos need money??? zoos are also about... educating the public??? WHATT????#also it just felt so weird because she is constantly talking about how pale and skinny and pasty and scrawny and white she is#like constantly. and her best friend is a black trans woman who CONSTANTLY coddles and supports the mc in a very maternal way#and her love interest is latina-coded I'm pretty sure and is much more confident and opinionated and is literally described as fiery once#so like. hm! Okay! interesting! Interesting stereotypes going on tbh!!!#the mc learns some lessons and gets slightly less insufferable but like. also it was SO predictable I always knew what was gonna happen nex#and the writing style... like I said above it is MILLENNIAL and not in a fun way. the word boop is used several times. the humor is awful#the main character has multiple conversations about being so uwu bottom even though there's no sex in this book??? why??#and every single character description is repeated OVER and OVER with the same two details. SO much telling basically no showing#the writing was just so... quirky. ooooh look at me I'm awkward I trip over things I can't do make-up I love sitting on the couch!!!!#like. idk. obviously a lot of people really liked this book and I SHOULD have been one of them. Sapphic romance at a magic zoo....#but the execution was just so incredibly not my thing it actively pissed me off even if I can see what the author was trying to achieve#maybe I just don't like cozy fantasy. man. there was a bit where a guy should've gotten eaten by a kelpie but didn't. so maybe too cozy#for my tastes actually. which is weird I feel like I should enjoy cozy fantasy! especially about animals!!! but maybe this was just a fluke#anyways. to be clear I am not trying to make fun of the MC for having anxiety. just the overall way her social awkwardness was WRITTEN abou#really bothered me. idk man I'm a neurotic freak as well but I try to be NICE about it. and I have the correct zoo opinions. so.

definitely on my I hate men bs tonight bc why are yāall like that.
#once I start starving for love attention and affection again itāll be different but men make it sooo hard for you to like them#individually and as a group#I just feel like itās not even worth it to try and connect with men anymore for the purposes of romance#you can tell them exactly what you want and what they can do to make you happy and it wonāt even be much#and theyāll still fall short and be fucking flaky and weird and stupid as fuck#they play dumb and they say theyāre busy but they know exactly what theyāre doing and who theyāre doing it to#you could be they nicest sweetest most honest woman and they would still find ways to be shitty to you#Iām still going to remain a sweetheart but FUCK!!!!!!!!#all I wanted was one nice man to spend a few weeks with who would treat me right and do what I ask and sex me right and often#but I see now menās brains arenāt wired that wayā¦ as soon as they get it once their effort goes down#I could give consistent effort attention and affection to someone for however long as long as itās reciprocated#but niggas canāt even do that. bro it was just for a few more weeks you couldnāt keep up the act for a few more weeks?#I would have been giving consistent pussy and affection but apparently asking for gm/Gn texts is asking too much#and asking for a crumb of time is too much#why say youāre available when youāre NOT AVAILABLE#Iām just gonna stop having sex until Iām married because Iām tired of just being the next manās conquest.#clearly connection and time spent and effort and being honest with people means nothing to anyone anymore.#talking about how youād like things to go and following through on that means nothing apparently.#so yea Iām just seriously over it. over feeling dumb over feeling used#over feeling dumb as fuck for compromising on my boundaries and then having to put up with even less than that#mine#next time a man wants to give me head Iām gonna let him do it then leave. Iām not having sex anymore unless Iām hooking up specifically#I should have listened to him when he slowly revealed to me that he was not what I was looking for#guess what lesson learned. big time

Oof I am so sorry to anyone with daddy issues for what I am currently doing to Sanemi and Genya in the google docs
#what if I used stupid fanfiction to cope lol#literally any time I see a character with a bad dad I hear that fucking lady Gaga sound#of her jazzily singing āuh oh! uh oh!!! WWOAUH OHH!!!!!#like uh oh! theyāre MY sons now ! and also my coping mechanisms!#sorry Shinazugawa brothers mommyās going Through something and now so are you :)#postcards from stupid town#sanemi at his mothers behest is trying to be nice and not angry#trying to forgive and be the bigger man and leave his heart open instead of closing it off with anger#(:#his reward for this will be Violence#and learning the hard lesson that itās easier and often safer not to love

Oh waitttttt I love Medstar
#yael is reading star wars#as long as i ignore jos's existence and focus on the barriss parts it's wonderful#barris and luminara content! it's great!#and jedi talking about the dark side we love to see it#funny that we had ahsoka being anakin's padawan for almost 5 seasons but barely got any shared meditations or normal lessons#like yeah learning through adventure i guess and other stuff would be boring for kids#but if filoni thought even a bit about anakin's turn to the dark side we could've had some really neat stuff#and just jedi lessons in general would've been nice#practice makes perfect was great but it was child soldier training not jedi training#wish we knew more about ahsoka as a jedi#the ahsoka novel does a pretty good job at that i think#but there's no real background of where she learned stuff#would've loved a luke and yoda on dagobah-esque lesson with ahsoka and anakin#or even just a small montage like we had in forces of destiny with ahsoka and ezra#but filoni doesn't think anakin is a good jedi so guess we can't have that#like man even the wbw in ahsoka was a life lesson not a jedi lesson#sorry for the rant lmao i just started thinking about this#medstar

sometimes megatron can be so personal
#uh oh sisters! ( ooc. )#he's just my little guy#he's just my man who is trying to make up for all the harm he's done and like#man idk as someone whose fear reaction is anger and had a terrible early-20's it can be something so personal#to see the wrongs you made and try to make up for them#anyways i love es megatron and i won't make excuses for him but i will fight in the trenches for his right to exist and Make Up for#all he did to himself his planet and even his allies#its about knowing that you aren't too far gone and can still be held accountable for your actions while while being allowed to grow past th#you know! what kids need to learn.#bc at the end of the day it is a kids show with kids lessons#even if es is a love letter to transformers and all of us who grew up w/it

Also on mob psycho I am just so happy and sad and all the feelings for mob. My god that boy is going through it. Only just started season three but man. He has got a quite amazing support system but also so many people using him and I can only imagine this going poorly.... as much as reigen may actually care for mob now like hes the luckiest man alive to both be alive and also still have mob's trust. Mob and emotions and fridndship and ahhhhh. The "get a clue" scene just. Oh man. I wish I was more articulate but I just started watching it today soo. Just excitement
#imagine my surprise when reigen is like. actually literally kinda pathetic and not just in the uwu affectionate way like a little pitiful#man what are you doing#like its working somehow but also kind of sad#also simultaneously less of a douche than I'd expected too? though thats those moral lessons he gave mob doing a lot of heavy lifting#was also surprised to find out serizawa's entire character. I thought he was like normie with esp that came into their life somehow#cool to finally get to know him though#I have to say I appreciate the way girls are depicted in this theyre just such. normal people? in a way I didnt even realize I was missing#ofc still taking more of a backseat/ side character designation but they get to be weird and human about it#and also ofc with the exception of tsubomi but that is a special case and even with mob's perception of her we still get to see#her far from perfect personality#and its pretty blatant to see it is him that idealizes her and not the narrative itself#of course hearts forevrr for autism coding and heartwrenching/hearwarming depictions. lovely beautiful#rounded#adoring seeing mob grow and learn to be more of his own person#learning to not let people walk all over him as much and value the good things in his life#but also keeping his morals in the process#becoming assertive does not mean becoming unnecessarily cruel <33#at times I was like āthis is like steven universe if it was goodā but like that show wasnt that bad.#i do like the way they conbey concepts and messages better in mp100 I think though#idk essay in the tags for my entire audience of 2 mutuals <3

Hey could you write the frontman smut, I need that man it's not even funny, yk the chair/sofa he always sat on in S1, when watching the game? Imagine cockwarming him there while he's praising us...
Frontman/Hwang In-ho - Cockwarming
Synopsis: Cockwarming your husband as he watches the games
A/N: This is a short little piece but I hope it's good anyway.. Ty for the frontman request bc he spoke to me in season 2..
Warnings: Cockwarming,
To many, the frontman was a reserved man who is not to be crossed. Heās been responsible for the death of many people - whether at his own hands or the hands of the guards that work for him. Not a lot is known about him among the people who work for him other than the fact he has a very pretty wife. You.
It was no secret that he would not tolerate any disrespect towards you. Some have had to learn that lesson the hard way. Heād always make a point of making sure no harm comes to you by warning people of the dire consequences that come with endangering you. It was all out of love for you, of course. He only wanted to keep you safe from the dangers of his deadly work. Thatās why he was always nearby. Like right now.
The first game was about to begin and he was relaxed in his chair in the dark room as he watched the screen. You were on his lap making sure to keep still so as not to bother him. Otherwise, heād likely deliver some sort of punishment. His cock was buried deep inside of you but he paid little attention to how your hole was squeezing his cock. He was too focused on making sure the first game goes according to plan. Everything needed to be in order so the VIPās could have something entertaining to watch and keep paying for more.
āYouāre being so good for me - keeping so still like this,ā he spoke as he moved a hand to your hair and began to gently brush his fingers through in a soothing motion. He knew how hard it was for you to stay still when all you wanted was for him to start fucking into your tight hole. However, good things only come to those who wait so he wasnāt going to give you what you wanted just yet.Ā
His eyes stayed on the screen as he watched people start to drop dead like flies. It never got old to watch the panic on peopleās faces when they realised their lives were at stake. He reached over to the table beside him and grabbed his glass that contained whiskey before gently spinning the glass around for a moment. He then took a sip out of the glass before turning his attention to you.
Teasingly, he thrusted up gently to force a reaction out of you. āYou really need it, huh? Youāre squeezing me so tightly,ā he said with a small smirk. He put the glass back down before putting both his hands on your hips. āJust be a good girl and wait a little longer. I know you wonāt disappoint me,ā he spoke again as he firmly held your hips down to keep you completely still.
He looked back towards the screen and continued to watch the death game. He could hear your shaky breaths in his ear as you became impatient. He found it amusing to see his dear wife be so desperate for his cock to fuck into her with reckless abandon. Well, heād give you what you wanted soon. As long as you just sat still on his cock like the good wife you are.
āSuch a good wife for me, hm?
