Odysseus' level of simping is so fucking high that when he's half drowned, unconscious and sleep talking, he's STILL going on about his wife

aventurine’s this very interesting combination of incredibly cunning, calculated, & brutal tbh while also having intense self esteem issues. he views every relationship as transactional and has no issue with using people to stay on top. he’s never left survival mode; considering his childhood, maybe he’s always been in it.

‘gilded’ describes him so well. not only is he still in a birdcage with his fancy clothes and riches covering up that he’s still in a place where he can’t escape, he also uses his persona to hide his perceived worthlessness underneath

Some fans: Eloise is such a fake feminist, doesn't she see how some girls and women enjoy marriage? Doesn't she see how her privileges give her luxuries others don't? She's so selfish. She doesn't even use her words to support other women!

Also same fans: I wish Eloise would stop talking, like her speaking about feminism at every turn is getting old. Can't she just be quiet and let everyone enjoy the fun? Like yeah talking about women's lack of personhood without a male figure in society, or how they can't go to university, or how sometimes they marry men who will only hurt them but need to for their status is sad to see, but THE ROMANCE-

[lafaiette]

AH DAMN

A friend sent me a picture from a German article - it seems it inadvertently spoiled the Inquisition world state that we can "import" into Veilguard. Big spoiler under the cut.

It's just three major choices: the romanced companion, whether the Inquisition was disbanded or not, and whether the Inquisitor vowed to redeem or stop Solas. I'm (unpleasantly) surprised tbh 🫠

also okay. Leo voiding and Foolish going “that’s alright I’ll just wait. I can wait. I wait.” like yeah totem boy that’s all you ever do isn’t it. waiting loyally for Vegetta to come back, for his plans to find fruition, for islanders and federation workers alike to take him seriously, for Leo to return now, just like he waited for her before, keeping patience like none other. he’ll wait - that’s kinda his thing.

...I... I do not know what on earth compelled me to make this nor why, but I will not be taking criticism at this time

The thing that kills me about the Star Wars prequel trilogy and why I will die on my hill that my problem is not that Star Wars is a tragedy, its that its a badly written tragedy, is that Anakin Skywalker was at his closest to being a good Jedi when he was ten years old.

Curly Mouthwashing is that post that's like. Character who made undeniably the wrong decision but also I dunno if I could make a better one.

[simplepotatofarmer]

honestly, when it comes to dsmp lore, especially involving techno later on, i can never fully take into account time gaps. like, unless the amount of time that passed is specifically referenced, it just feels kinda unfair, y'know?

please look at these guys. they even had a little teaparty.

Thinking about the version of Mark that DID survive out in the wasteland for all those years (???) (post-Angstrom fight). Thinking about him being told he wouldn’t like who he had become. Thinking about Mark whispering “I thought you were stronger” at the bloody corpse crushed into the sand. Thinking about the hot sun and incredibly hot earth and unwavering isolation at such a critically vulnerable point. Mark, stranded and bloody, left to wonder if this was worth trying to protect his family, left to wonder if the violence in him is inevitable, as if it's some evil thing that's always been there, underneath his skin, just now waking. Left to wonder until he trips into spiraling, but no matter how loud he screams these questions into the sky, there is nothing but silence. A corpse for company. Thinking about the crushing weight of loneliness, and your own shocked mind. Thinking about being that way for years and years and years, somehow surviving. Only to become something a younger you wouldn’t "like". And what that looks like.

Thinking about the Mark that did get rescued, and being left to wonder how many times other versions of himself stumble into bad endings. How long until he becomes something he wouldn't like.

more things that tick me off about dr3… the flanderization of komaeda’s expressions. people forget how like… genuinely expressive he is. yes he smiles a lot but… okay— look—

dr3 basically limits him to :) or :o MOST of the time. even when facing junko— and knowing she’s an enemy:

i could’ve gotten more images but i’m too lazy to actually watch the anime in full again. but anyway… they made him that one stereotype where he’s calm and cheerful no matter what happens — rarely having extreme reactions. he honestly acts more like my other boy itsuki in that sense. but like… komaeda isn’t ever truly calm and collected. they baby boy-ified him. government assigned little guy.

and like… you look at the game and it’s just

he is SO expressive!!! yeah he’s very :) :D but there’s so much you can get from his faces. and he can get genuinely angry/pissed/scared/anxious/condescending/etc. people gotta recognize this more i feel

One day I will be able to properly break down the themes of authoritarianism, bioessentialism, and the VERY flawed "hero and villain" dynamic in MHA and then it'll be ALL over for you...

imagine working for a company like zoraxis. a place where one wrong move or insubordinate sentence or explicit act of disobedience could make the difference between life and death. imagine needing to engage with a boss who's identity you don't even know- who's face you've never seen- knowing that, if they ever felt like it, they could kill you with the flick of their wrist.

and on top of that, imagine the chaos once that company gets exposed for what it is. once the entire world has turned their back on zoraxis. being publicly unaffiliated with them (much to your relief), but knowing that if anyone were to find out, it could irreparably damage your reputation, or even send you ino hiding.

and on top of that, imagine knowing full well that an entire government organization has it out for you. knowing that the only people you can turn to are zoraxis affiliates, because there's no one else in the wider world you can trust with absolute certainty. you're not safe with the police, or the supermarket, or your own home. you're safer with a league of international super criminals than you are on the street.

and on top of that, imagine that this entire time, you've been a public figure, yourself. an objectively attractive public figure. a popular public figure. a public figure with an exorbitant amount of wealth at their disposal. who- as far as we're aware- works and lives alone, without as much as a partner to watch over them.

all of this to say i think there's a high likihood that the fabricator's lifestyle has propagated some breed of paranoia at best.

after all, john's a celebrity who's been working with zoraxis for years, and we know his first and last name… the fabricator's been equally as successful in the fashion industry, and yet, we can't say the same for her, can we?

First of all in the new fallen hero revelations demo, I absolutely love armadillo (I have said that I was looking forward to sidestep meeting other non-cuckoo regenes and this meeting already lived up to a lot of my expectations) (really excited to see how this plays out)

Second of all I think that little aside of how there are no gendered pronouns in the re-gene language and how only cuckoos learned to apply them is really interesting and funny (as well as another point in the murderbot-breq-sidestep compare and contrast schema in my head). Since it further emphasizes the connection between being seen as a person and performing gender correctly, but also it is a funny difference between the normal regenes and the cuckoo.

Like I think that it explains some of the complexes surrounding gender sidestep has. What if when training you were the only one getting comments like that really that kick wasn’t very ladylike or you need to start punching like a man. All the other regenes barely know what gender is and sidestep has to pass the weekly ‘Men and Women: What are They? And How To Behave and Interact Like One’ exam.

“Hello, Jenny,” the man said. There was a strange emphasis to how he spoke such simple words – and, hang on –

Jenny sat up. “How do you know my name?” she asked suspiciously. The harmonies of the hum deepened as Laser Grid Girl also looked at the man askance.

“Oh, you might say I know your dad,” he laughed…

Ruby’s in the middle of saving the inhabitants of the Moon of Praxis – just a typical adventure with the Doctor – when a mysterious stranger swoops in to help. When the Doctor learns who she is, he’s determined to get her back where she belongs.

hello I'm alive I think???? and my interest in Doctor Who has been roused from its slumber?????? Russell absolutely got me by bringing Tate and Tennant back (and has been killing it ever since)
