”Surprised to not see ya hunched over that journal of yours being back at camp and all…”
”Hawhaw…”, Arthur grumbled and just offered Hosea a cigarette. “I was out looking for prongbuck but instead…”, he took a long drag and turned to look to the cliffside. “I found lil’ Bo Beep and her sheep.”
I've been here thinking about where Addie is in the beginning of the RDR2 story. I really love how the sheep just looks at Arthur who's just battling this internal debate.

Turning off the reblogs on this. At the time I wrote it, it felt like what I needed to say. There's not as much activity on the post now, but when there is, I feel...sort of hollow. We're so far past the point where this even means anything.
Y'all remember "cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people, either", right?
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve to die beneath the rubble of their homes.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve to be shot with expanding bullets that cause massive tissue damage leading to amputation.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve to have their flesh burned away with white phosphorous.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve their fishing boats blown up.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve to see their husbands and fathers executed in front of them along evacuation routes.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve an anonymous phone call threatening to destroy their lives and families.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve to be detained for years without charges.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve to be tortured, starved, and sexually assaulted in prison.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve to be deprived of water.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve their olive trees to be uprooted while they look on.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve sixteen years of blockade.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve to be prevented from traveling for lifesaving medical care.
Palestinians who have done something wrong don't deserve this genocide.
#like obviously we're right to talk about innocent palestinians#but also#there is no guilt any palestinian could possibly carry as an individual#and sure as hell no guilt that could attach to palestinians collectively#that justifies any of this

In Knives Out Blanc wanted to do the murder mystery investigation with Marta so bad, but she was certain she was guilty so she spent a good amount of the movie avoiding/hiding stuff from him
Meanwhile in Glass Onion Helen was fucking carrying the investigation, even while accidentally getting drunk, and even went to investigation lengths Blanc was hesitant to do
#knives out#glass onion#ko: marta actively ruins evidence due to her perceived guilt. blanc knew the entire time she was innocent or ill intent#go: helen fucking diving forward to eavesdrop on duke/miles/whiskey better. helen tossing a tape recorder in birdie's bag. helen listening#in on lionel & claires freak out at the pool. helen did all the research on her sisters journals to get as into the role as possible#marta only standing up for her rightful inheritance at the end after everything vs helen down to ruin those shitheads from the start#i love these movies & the duality in the chars/victims & how it ends. marta gets the house. helen burns miles' down. its just!!!!! AHHH#i just rewatched knives out again so i can rewatch glass onion again tomorrow. im so normal about this series#tc posts#*of ill intent gdi. tumblr mobile let me edit tags

sorry let me rant about downton abbey 10 years later
Thomas's conversion therapy plot pisses me off so much. firstly, it's incredibly out of character. he never wanted to change to conform to society, he wanted the world to change to accomodate him. the man who said "it's not against the law to hope is it" and "I'm not foul, Mr Carson, I'm not like you, but I'm not foul" would NEVER
secondly, from a storytelling perspective, the only 'problem' is that he used infected needles. did we forget that Thomas was a sergeant in the RAMC? he knows how to sterilise needles and how to recognise and treat infection. this also shifts the blame to Thomas himself for getting sick and implies that the conversion therapy itself is harmless (Dr Clarkson says it's just saline solution)
thirdly, it's not historically accurate. I'm not an expert but conversion therapy was not at all common in the 1920s, even Sigmund Freud was against it. hormone therapy and chemical castration were barely developing let alone available to the public (I can't imagine what else the 'treatment' was supposed to be). the only practices that I can find evidence of were psychoanalysis and electric shock therapy
Thomas also mentions that he did electric shock treatment - if you really want to make a point about homophobia in the 1920s (and make Thomas suffer as much as possible), show that instead. watching him be literally tortured for his sexuality would have been far more impactful than him just... looking sweaty for a few episodes
#I'm just shouting into the void#i just think that if you're going to make the only gay character constantly suffer it should at least be a compelling narrative#i have very similar thoughts about his plotline with jimmy. its stupid and out of character. Julian fellowes just wanted to punish him#for being gay without even giving him a chance at a happy relationship#i think sexually assaulting Jimmy is one of the only genuinely bad things that Thomas does and yet its the only one framed sympathetically#it's conflated with being gay generally and we're meant to pity him#you know what would have been a sympathetic narrative? if they were actually in a relationship and punished for an innocent love#and then thomas could still take the fall for it and go to prison and Jimmy would have to live with that guilt and be separated from him#which also would have been way more interesting than the bullshit anna and bates prison plot that dragged on way too long#ugh downton abbey could have been so good if the writer wasn't an old bigoted tory#downton abbey#thomas barrow

The parallels that hurt so much
They both jinxed the most important event in their lives trying to help...
They both lost their closest friends to this....
And both were abandoned and hurt in the worst way possible by the sibling they've looked up to....
They had good intentions, they were so young......
And they're the monsters others have created.
#arcane#arcane spoilers#arcane s2 spoilers#arcane s2#arcane meta#arcane analysis#as abba sang: the history book on the shelf. it's always repeating itself#these scenes made me think so much about silco and vander. and the parallels between them and jinx and vi#young silco looked so sweet and healthy. he looked so innocent... where did the years go#him and jinx are just people stuck in a cycle of poorly made decisions. internalizing the trauma. doing the worst crimes imaginable.& repea#and I'm not trying to absolve them of guilt. they're pretty terrible people and are responsible for their own actions.. but I can't stop-#-feeling bad for them#also. just how old were they when revolution started? silco said to dekart that he learned a lesson about power when he was his age-#-and tapped his bad eye while talking. how old was dekart? was silco a teenager/barely an adult (18-21 or 21-25) when his life fell apart?#it's sad as hell... arcane stop breaking my heart....#silco#arcane silco#jinx#arcane jinx#jinx arcane#silco arcane#young silco#arcane vander#arcane vi#<- no negativity to these two btw

while i wouldnt necessarily disagree that childe seems to be on edge more so than usual (and he himself mentions being in a poor mood in act I) in the fontaine archon quest i do have to say i find it a little funny that theres people who think hes behaving, like, completely out of character in the court scene when he decides to go apeshit after being judged guilty by the justice.exe AI bot like.
did it somehow escape peoples memories that this man when presented with the idea that we as the traveler mightve tricked and gotten ahead of him with the geo gnosis just. entered a state of complete murderous rage leading to him activating foul legacy in the golden house. which actually ends up self-sabotaging his current objective more than anything bc unlike the clear way they struggled against childe before now the traveler just won by default by outlasting him
he mightve gotten over it fairly easily afterwards (in no small part bc traveler actually fought him which automatically translates to equal=respect=friend in his fucked up head) but childes been shown to be a highly dangerous individual with a massive ego prone to outburst in the heat of the moment when outplayed or his pride wounded before even when it isnt the smartest course of action like. this isnt new lmao.
getting accused of a crime he had never even heard of in a foreign nation he only recently arrived in and then sitting through all that court drama and being assured afterwards that he only needs to partake as a mere formality for declaring his innocence only to be somehow declared guilty by a machine is very much realistic grounds for childes patience to reach its breaking point if you ask me lol
#and if its about the like... civilians in the opera watching thing id like to remind ppl#that childes never raised any ethical issue or personal guilt relating to the endangering of innocents#childe dislikes involving the weak bc its something he considers as BENEATH himself as a warrior whod rather solve every problem w a 1v1#him going 'the weak of this world are so insignificant that no honorable fighter would pull them into matters beyond their ability'#isnt.... a moral stance jkwdjkdjkwjkdjkdkdw#so like no him choosing to activate foul legacy in front of a crowd doesnt necessarily ring ooc to me#just that hes decided its a means to an end situation where he cannot abide by his preferences#the same way he chose to revive osial despite his personal distaste for such methods because at the moment its what he had to fall back on#genshin#genshin spoilers /#rambles#childeposting#childe

hating hod is a red flag tbh. never trust a hod hater
#ramblings#something something.. her story being about learning to move forward and forgive yourself#about how even if you make an unimaginably horrible mistake it doesn't condemn you to being a Bad Person Forever#and endlessly beating yourself up or sacrificing yourself in a search for redemption is pointless#and it's better for everyone to try to be kind to yourself#like people genuinely are out here hating her for getting the head onto ayin and co.'s case but#that's the entire point of her story? it's About how much she regrets it and her journey to heal from that guilt?#she did it because she was young and innocent and her friends were dying out there??#the central theme is literally The Hope to Be a Better Person#i will never understand. hod is my best friend i love her. hod haters not allowed

Zelda fandom stop misinterpreting Zelda's "I'm still your Zelda" challenge
#1. Hylia died and Zelda is mortal now 2. I'm still your Zelda means she still cares about him AS A FRIEND. AS MORE THAN HYLIA'S HERO#she feels bad for 'using him' BUT SHE DIDN'T REALLY. SHE'S CONFLICTED. SHE'S A VICTIM TOO#reading comprehension is SHIT in fandom#it's both her feeling sad that she unwilling made Link into the hero because she became friends with him BUT it's her saying that doesn't#mean I was never your friend!!! it doesn't mean she was plotting the whole time and she's evil. neither does it mean she's completely#innocent because she IS Hylia and she DOES feel guilt about it but she's ALSO zelda and she KNOWS THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY#WHAT WAS THE OTHER OPTION. LET DEMISE DESTROY EVERYTHING? LINK KNOWS THIS TOO AND IT'S A SACRIFICE HE WOULD MAKE OVER AND OVER AND OVER#AGAIN FOR HER. BECAUSE SHE'S HIS FRIEND. SHE'S STILL HIS ZELDA. AND SHE MAKES HER SACRIFICE FOR HIM AS ZELDA AND AS HYLIA#SHE GIVES UP HER AUTONOMY TOO BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE IS THE DESTRUCTION OF EVERYTHING#ZELDA FANDOM UNDERSTAND NUANCE AND STOP FUCKING DEMONIZING HYLIA/SWS ZELDA#sorry. I reached my threshold of stupid posts and need to rant again 💕

14 years old, only like a month into being spider-man, peter takes down a mugger and the guy is cursing peter out and peter just calmly says "i'm fourteen" and watches this dude have a crisis
"no you're not"
"i literally am. did you not hear my voice cracking every two seconds? pretty sure i only started going through puberty last week"
"you're lying"
"believe what you want"
"why would you tell me that if it's true"
"because no one will believe you and i think that's funny. also i want you to know that you just lost to a freshman in high school. even if you don't believe me, you can't prove that i'm lying. this is never going to leave your brain. i won the physical fight and now i'm playing with psychological warfare. and i called the cops. anyways, bye!"
mugger gets arrested and is like "no seriously i swear to god he was in these like red and blue pajamas and had a mask and goggles and he said he was fourteen and psychological warfare and-"
#idk if anyone else will be entertained by this but mcu peter being a little shit means the world to me#i mean lets be clear every single version of peter parker is a little shit#but mcu peter is painted as this innocent little fuckhead by a lot of the mcu fandom which like. sure yeah its fan content have fun with it#but personally peter's sass and attitude and anger problems are some of my favorite aspects of his character#“if you think about it this is really your fault” bro said that to TONY STARK to his FACE#he only backpedaled because tony was visibly upset by those words but dude was fully about to commit to that angle#peter (blaming himself; drowning in guilt): ya actually i did nothing wrong im 16 and its all ur fault so maybe calm the fuck down thanks

is this ooc for kya and hakoda? yes but HEAR ME OUT neglected sokka
sokka seeing katara waterbend for the first time. sokka dragging katara back into their igloo like "mum! dad! look at this look at this!!!" and being so excited because his little sister is a waterbender, that's so cool, and his parents are making a really big deal about it and hurrying katara out to see the elders and sokkas falling a little bit behind but that's ok, because katara's a waterbender and they need to tell the elders
and so they host this celebration - nothing big because they may still get traders but they don't want this to go out to the fire nation - and hakoda and kya are doting over katara and making sure she's had enough to eat and everything and sokka... feels a little weird. he knows its kataras special day but he just feels a little lonely, but when he goes up to his parents they tell him they're busy, so he tells himself that he'll talk to them tomorrow.
but then the next day, his dad is in meetings all day - that are about katara, he gleans from gilak and bato, who look a little confused as to why sokka's alone - and when he goes to find his mum, she's with katara and she's watching her shakily try to bend on command, instead of by accident. so he goes up to her to say hi but she tells him that she's busy and not to distract her. sokka frowns because it doesn't look like she's doing anything and can't he say hi? but then katara loses concentration to say hi to sokka, and though his mum smiles at katara, she doesn't spare another glance at sokka.
which. is fine. he thinks. obviously life is different now that his little sister is a waterbender and he had sooo many adults tell him as such when their village celebrated it, so... it's fine. maybe it's just because his parents look a little worried, he thinks, as they sit down to eat before bed. they do look worried.
and then katara says that she's tired, and his parents wish her good night and their mum goes to tell her a bedtime story and it's exactly as it should be. except that sokkas still eating and they usually wait til both of them are in their cots before the story happens. so he tells her to wait while he quickly shovels his food into his mouth, and he thinks it's fine but then once he's eaten and moving towards his cot, he hears the end of the story
he pouts, saying that he wanted to hear it too, but his mum tells him not now, sokka. she sounds tired. he doesn't care, he wanted to hear it too. she sounds a little angry when she tells him to be quiet, because kataras sleeping, but he doesn't care, he wanted to hear the story and why didn't she wait? it's his dad that scolds him this time, telling him that katara needs her rest. sokka goes to say that he was only a few extra minutes, but he's shut down. his parents tell him that they won't be speaking to him when he's being so rude, and sokka doesn't understand but hes too tired so he cries in his cot before falling asleep.
the next morning, his dad isn't there and neither are katara and his mum. and he learns. he learns through his parents ignoring him when he asks a question and scolding him when he wants something that he's selfish. what else could he be, trying to put himself above his sister, who could be targeted by the fire nation (which he didn't originally know, he finds that out when his dad yells at him one day and, oh ok maybe he is being a bit selfish) and katara needs her parents more anyway because shes the only waterbender, she needs guidance in connecting to her culture and her history. he wonders whether it's technically his history too, but he doesn't ask. he stopped asking a while ago, stopped talking a while ago.
he thinks he hates katara a little. bato tilts his head and asks him why, when he tentatively tells him after the man prods and prods because "I haven't heard you speak for ages kid, you ok?", and sokka doesn't have an answer for him because he doesn't know why he hates katara but he doesn't want to hate her, it's just that his parents like her more cause she's a waterbender. bato tells him thats silly, of course his parents like him, and he ducks his head and mumbles an apology and doesn't notice the way bato frowns and glances over to gilak, who sports an equally worried frown.
the next day his dad takes him fishing. he's so excited but he's nervous too, he doesn't want to upset his dad and his dad is already looking at him weirdly that morning so he answers the questions his dad awkwardly pushes towards him and doesn't ask for help even when he can't get the bait on his hook, and eventually his dad takes the rod from him and does it for him, and he apologises but his dad looks at him weirdly again and so he doesn't speak again on the trip. but... it's nice. his dad claps him on the back everytime he catches a fish and he proudly displays his three fish to him at the end and gets a laugh for his efforts. so. it's nice.
the following week, there's a raid on their tribe. sokka runs towards their igloo, having lost katara in all the chaos. he pulls to a stop by the entrance, hearing his mum talking to some guy about the waterbender and... what is she doing?
he freezes. the man stomps out of their home, sees sokka and throws him aside. sokka doesn't feel the bruises til the next day, and when he does he doesn't care.
there's no point. he's got to take care of katara. that's his job now
#neglected sokka#inspired by the idea that sokka doesnt remember his mum and yeah that could be trauma blocking (which is valid if it is) but#consider#katara obvi thinks shes a good mum but we never get sokkas pov unless its his own guilt#again#i dont think this is actually the case#but its fun to think about#sokka#kya#hakoda#katara#bato and gilak being the mvps in this#gilak is innocent free my man he did nothing wrong#atla#BTW its important to me that you know#that kya was gonna take a step back and consider her actions too#but life got in the way#well#death in her case#but anyhoo#the issue ofc is that sokka doesnt know that kya wanted to apologise too#so#more trauma for him ig

Okay, but what if the entire Cang Qiong mountain turns into silent hill post-PIDW.
Decades after Shen jiu died and the burning of the sect, Luo Binghe, Ning Yingying, Liu Mingyan, and perhaps even Qiu Haitang, visit the burnt husk of what was once Cang Qiong. Only to find themselves trapped in a hell of their own making. Forced to confront their guilt and feelings about the downfall of both the sect and the world they all had a hand in ruining.
Forced to face hard truths about both themselves, and that perhaps everything they thought they knew wasn't entirely true.
#idea dump#ramblings of a sleep deprived girl#mxtx svsss#svsss#scum villian self saving system#silent hill#Cang Qiong becomes Silent Hill Post-PIDW#Luo Binghe and his wives get trapped and experience psychological horrors of their own making#you can't tell me Ning Yingying. Liu Mingyan. or even Qiu Haitang don't have regrets or guilt about ruining the world#that after years of watching their husband commit atrocities and collecting women. some in a rather horrific manner#that it wouldn't eat away at them or their conscience#as for Luo Binghe is him confronting the monster his become#him confronting the people his hurt and all the suffering his caused innocent people#as well as his true feelings for Shen Jiu and what it was he really wanted from him#they all also get hit in the face about the truth of all the accusations against Shen Jiu#LMY getting confronted by her brother's ghost and the truth about his death#NYY by her martial siblings and her memories of how her shizun really treated her (as a daughter)#QHT by memories of her family and realizing that they weren't the people she thought they were#as well as realizing that Shen Jiu was the real victim all along#LBH is not happy and is miserable and is tortured by the SVSSS verse again#essentially everyone suffers forced character development via psychological horrors
