I know people enjoy the discourse surrounding how Eugene cut Rapunzel’s hair (he was literally dying and it doesn’t even look bad don’t come for me) but I think there’s one specific way that that scene could have been made better.

As Rapunzel was rushing over to Eugene once Mother Gothel had let him free and he was bleeding out, I think that she should have been tripping over her hair in the rush. She had it perfectly behind herself as she knelt down next to him, but I just think it would have been so much if there was a small wordless struggle as she knelt down. Pushing it out of her face, getting it caught on a bit of filagree on Eugene’s jacket or something.

And yes this obviously is for poetic reasons. Something something the thing that has held value all of your life is getting in the way of the new thing and is causing trouble even moments before it’s death something something.

i really can't emphasize how heartbreaking it is that the recent harassment campaign against @/90-ghost (among others; see: 1, 2, 3) has led to well-meaning people telling others not to listen to him. he is one of the most visible survivors of the genocide here on tumblr. his entire journey of escape is so well documented! and yet, it only took a few people confidently pointing fingers to create an entire witch hunt accusing him and other palestinians of being disreputable scammers and liars.

i can't help but feel like the reason why people were SO eager to believe those accusations, is because it was uncomfortable to see posts from palestinians every day asking for our time, attention, money, and support; so when someone presented the perfect excuse to ignore all those posts and asks while also taking the high ground, people just LEAPED onto it. they wanted to believe it, because it would be more comfortable.

honestly, i understand feeling overwhelmed by bad news, by the number of asks and messages in your inbox, and so on and so forth. i understand needing to set boundaries for yourself so you don't get burned out. i think this is really when you have to have a set of principles to fall back on, even when you're tired, uncomfortable, angry, and/or sad. so here's the one i suggest, which has been working for me best: don't make your discomfort with this situation into someone else's problem, and for god's sake don't make it a public problem.

if you hate seeing fundraiser posts or news about gaza, i can't emphasize this enough, JUST MOVE ON. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND SCROLL PAST! all you have to do is absolutely nothing. which is what you were doing anyway, so it shouldn't be hard. if you don't have the heart to read, or reblog, or share, or donate, or support in other ways, at the very least, don't obstruct the efforts of people who ARE trying to make a difference. this is, quite literally, the least you can do.

After seeing your recent post, I thought of this scenario in my head. Basically if OG Liu Qingge could talk to Transmigrator Liu Qingge.

OG Liu Qingge: YOU IDIOT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! YOU'RE NOT EVEN HOLDING YOUR SWORD CORRECTLY! AND PAY ATTENTION DAMNIT! NO WONDER WHY YOU DIED BY GETTING RUN OVER BY A METAL CARRIAGE!

Transmigrator Liu Qingge on the verge of tears: I'm trying my best, okay?!

BABAHAHA ONLY IF

I can imagine the looks on their faces this is so golden

The sequence of Essek trying and failing to teleport Bells Hells to Eiselcross like four times in a row was hilarious, but may I propose:

Several days earlier: a very cold and frustrated Ludinus Da'leth stranded somewhere frozen and barren after accidentally teleporting himself straight into a snowdrift for the fifth time.

Do you think Cole used to help Nya with feeling comfortable in her own skin again and feeling flesh and bones, as well as acting alive again, whilst also helping her keep her form and be more conscious and sure of it after merging with the sea, simply because he gets it?

Ghost Cole you will not be forgotten.

one aspect of furina's characterization that's pretty understated but that i really really really love is her intelligence and curiosity. usually in genshin, when a character's intelligence is an important trait of theirs, there are aspects of their design, writing, voice acting, etc, that very clearly tell you "hey this character is smart." albedo, for example, wears a labcoat, is always saying big sciency words in a calm, rational tone of voice, and other characters are always talking about how smart he is

but furina? nothing about her on the surface suggests that she's a "smart" character - quite the opposite, in fact. superficially, she's introduced as a bratty, conceited, overconfident person who actually has no idea what she's doing. we eventually learn in the archon quest that that was all an act, but even after she regains her freedom, nothing about her really seems archetypically intelligent, at least at face value

instead, furina's intelligence is always shown rather than told (the only exception being nahida's voiceline about her). she had an intelligence network across teyvat feeding her information, and we saw in the flashback how she directed researchers to study the prophecy and potential ways of stopping it. before things like lyney's trial or directing the two musketeers, she'd stay up all night planning and piecing things together all on her own. she loves learning new things, she has lines in the teapot about how, when she's interested in something, she wants to become the most knowledgeable person in the topic, and also how she'd like to disassemble the teapot itself to learn how it works, and she's quick to learn new skills (like surfing). and, of course, she's well read, and quite possibly teyvat's foremost expert on the performing arts

i like how furina sort of defies the concept of character archetypes. she's initially presented as an archetypical bratty, dramatic, spoiled popular girl, but that was a role she forced herself into because it's what people expected of her. but the real furina, while still retaining some of the flamboyance from her archon persona, doesn't really fit into a clear mold. she's smart without being a super-genius, and she's kind without being a soft-spoken doormat. it makes her feel multifaceted and real, and i really love that!

anyway, this is why it makes me mad whenever i see people calling furina stupid, cuz she's not!
