Not to be That Guy but like.
Am I the only one that can't stop thinking about how Tianlang-Jun says about Luo Binghe that he pretends to be cold-hearted like his mother. The hint of fondness there, the heartache in that utterance.
Like it drives me absolutely insane. Imagining her putting on a front of strength, cold and driven and unrelenting. Why does TLJ say that about her. Did she secretly look for solutions that meant reconciling with demons instead of hurting them when her sect wasn't looking? (I wonder this because I feel like his weird fondness for SQQ would lowkey track if it's connected to the woman he once loved.) Did he mean that she was tasked with basically assassinating him and she fell in love with him instead (re: failed step one)? Did he mean that she was fond and doting in her own way (e.g. conceding he was attractive, paying for his exploits and humoring him)? Did he mean that, like LBH, she thought that power would be the thing to protect her--and that it was disguising a person who was deeply and privately wounded? All four????? I don't need sleep I need a n s w e r s
Did she know about the Huanhua Palace Master's skeevy ass intentions before she met TLJ? Or did those only come to significant light after she fell in love with TLJ? Is that why she never anticipated that level of betrayal, because initially she had no intention of being with anyone romantically? And HHPM just assumed she would be under his thumb forever?? Was she furious at her own indiscretion or did she try to use the pregnancy as a bargaining chip, a way to try to stop the immortals of Cang Qiong Mountain from attacking TLJ (plus the bonus of marriage entrapment no takesies backsies this is where LBH gets it from)? Did she try to use that claim on her to dissuade HHPM from his covetous advances, framing herself as tainted so that she could finally escape? Did she dream of a life by TLJ's side, far away from Cang Qiong Mountain?
Like. Literally every single permutation of what this could mean guts me to hell. Do you ever just cry about tianxi because I--[loud bawling noises]

Just started the Legend of Vox Machina and the thing about Grog is...okay. He’s not very bright, and like usually the standard trope is “big dumb barbarian from tribe of dumb muscle barbarians” and that’s very problematic, but I absolutely love that everyone else in the Herd just isn’t stupid. They’re conniving, they’re “trust me with my evil plans” villains, but they aren’t dumb
Because it turns the trope of Grog being different from “Aha! I am a cultural rebel because only I have the intelligence and morality clarity to see the truth!”(but is still dumber than everyone else) to:
“Listen, I may be an idiot but I have the power of basic moral decency on my side. So what the fuck is wrong with y’all!?” which is infinitely funnier
The simple-minded cousin who every else pitied just shows up again like “Actually I have a better understanding of the philosophy of care than you. Suck it.”
Amazing.

My cortex is pretty much what I believe would happen if Uka left the damn guy alone in canon
After crash 2 Cortex got tired and all bro wanted was sleep on a nice sunny beach but theres this stupid mask that said "nuh uh, do bad things"
But if yellow fart got what they wanted, they'd just be chilling I think.
