i saw someone spread hate to Keiko bc they were a Bashir/O'brien shipper, and i do NOT agree with that.

why would you ever say such things when this was always an option?

this is obviously what's happening in the show anyways

[shawkydokey]

it's time to go home

[comics-at-dawn]

fuck a burn book, i want a death note.

[kirasworldofwords]

No, actually, let me go on a little tirade here.

How the fuck can it be that we as Formula 1 fans can just stand by and watch - dare I say tolerate - the kind of treatment drivers often have to go through? Because tell me why my heart broke even more when I saw a mention of a video of Esteban getting treated like literally less than shit by a fan who ignored him and even moved their pen away from him when he was the only one there willing to give his signature.

How have we stooped this low? Treating drivers, who are still humans all the same as we are, this badly? Just because they're rich? Because they can handle it no problem? That is such a fucking misconception, it makes me damn near furious.

We always demand to see more respect from other people within the world of Formula 1 towards the drivers - for example Helmut Marko in regards to Checo (sorry for the bias in advance). And yet we are no better than people like Helmut Marko or Jos Verstappen in terms of respecting other drivers other than our obvious favorites.

When one of the other pilots, someone whom we don't consider a favorite of ours, gets treated badly, we often just gloss over it and say "Well, suck it up, buttercup, life isn't fair". I mostly see this happening to Lance, unfortunately, which, in my opinion, is completely unjustified.

The guy has talent! He's smart, he's kind, he's talented, what else do you need? Most of the hate he receives stems from the mere fact that he's a nepotism baby - which, surprise surprise, he can't do anything for. It's not his fault Lawrence was already rich when Lance was born. How can a literal baby be held accountable for its father's wealth? Tell me that. And be serious about it.

This is not to say I'm a saint. I'm not, absolutely not. Just recently, I shot against Liam, because I was mad at him for disrespecting Checo. I realize now, though, that that action from me was more counterproductive than it did anything to help my mood, case, whatever, really. I, too, need to work on that needless carelessness and low-key hate within me still.

My jumbled mess of words shall come to an end here, though, before I completely dive off the deep end.

TLDR: I fucking hate how normalized - if not encouraged - it is to watch generally "disliked" drivers and drivers who aren't our clear faves being treated badly. We shoot against the drivers we hate like missiles yet then turn around and use the same breath to advocate for mental health, respect and kindness. It makes me mad.

So apparently, Lance's girlfriend left him on his birthday (or at least a day later)?? Which is, like... actually so fucking heartbreaking. Now, this is just what I read on Threads after a friend of mine sent the Thread into a Discord server we're both in (thanks, @aruccchin pookie 🫶🏻) so take this with a grain of salt, please, but if it's true... that is just so fucking cruel.

Who leaves their partner on their birthday? Or even immediately a day after, like?? I'm so???

Apparently, she deleted all of their couple pictures on his birthday, and tbh... I'm heartbroken for him, actually. This is not how you treat a person. Goddamn, now I'm sad...

since everyones talking about their side of eclipses death heres mine from a comment i made on @fablekittys side

long read

to summerize, i think alot more couldve been done for a redemtion arc if it was earlier even during october, and not half assed and done way way to late, after litterally blowing someone UP...

and even if it was rushed still wouldve been better early on, like hunters from toh, [obvis spoilers but] while hunters redemtion was kinda rushed, care and thought was put into it, and he wasnt even that bad he was just a lil jerk and was doing what he was told be a abusive uncle [belos]

reason belos didnt get a redemtion arc cus he was trying to pull a "oh man curse gone im good now" even though before the curse he killed his brother, to little to late

so yea, still conflicted about eclipse as a whole even tho i love writing angst for him <3

[simpalert]

i think people mainly got uncomfy with the pairing [there than this weird excuse] just because it was so...sudden?

i mean i get there were hints, sudtle but there, i also know they were trying to do a sleeping beauty thing, [i know it wasn't said but cmon it was obvious]

and it wasnt a spell keeping sonic asleep...i mean the bitch was dead

...

she kissed a corpse

....

so yeah thats just my opinion, i don't mind the ship i even follow someone on here that ships it

so yeah thats all

When somebody uses the "beastiality" argument against SonElise

Once more frustrated by people seeing Light's various moves as stupid because they're looking at it from a point of omniscience and not from the perspective of Light himself and the information he had access to :')

Teen Wolf as Arthurian Characters

Kira Yukimura as Morgan le Fay

[lock-tess-monster]

[azazelsazaleas]

Ok, this is really, really nit picky, but it’s been bothering me since I watched the last season of DS9, so here goes…

Y’know when Kira gets assigned to help out the Cardassian resistance and they put her in a Starfleet uniform (for obvious political reasons)? The uniform they gave her had three pips, indicating the rank of Commander.

She should’ve had four.

By that point in the show’s run, she had been promoted to Colonel - not Lieutenant Colonel, she was a full bird - which is the army equivalent in rank to a naval Captain, not a Commander. Her uniform should’ve reflected that. Kira should’ve had four pips on her collar, not three.

Ok, I’ll get off my nerdy soapbox now.

[datasoong101]

Finished season one of DS9!!! Here are some thoughts.

First of all, I really like the characters. They all have interesting personalities, they have great banter, they're all the perfect amount of ridiculous. I can tell that they are gonna get way more fleshed out as the show progresses, but even from the start, they all feel very believable.

My favorites are definitely Bashir, O'Brian, and Quark, in that order.

The plots are the perfect mix of silly goofy and super deep that I just love all of Trek for. My favorite episodes so far are probably Q's cameo, the one with the hunted alien O'Brian befriends, Lwaxana's cameo, and the finale.

I don't have many super deep thoughts on the characters or themes, probably because I'm not emotionally attached to the characters (yet), but I will say that I think I probably will have deep thoughts as the show progresses. This is season one of a Star Trek show, and it was bearable, so it has already surpassed all expectations.

Also, as a final note, I'm scared to see who all you tumblr peeps are shipping, because none of the main characters seem very shipable with each other. Like, I caught wiff of an O'Brian x someone ship, he's literally hapilly maried to Keiko, what are you guys doing??? Maybe Jadzia x Kira? Or Jadzia x Bashir? But O'Brian belongs with Keiko, period. I don't know why you guys are even *touching* Quark with ten foot pole...

Most improved Gundam SEED FREEDOM Character...

Hands down has to be Shinn Asuka. His character improved in every single aspect. Even though I love what they did with Athrun (having him grow into being confident in what he is doing, without being influenced by someone else, settling with Cagalli, being the legendary pilot he has been from the beginning, being absolutely CLUTCH), I know Shinn stole the entire movie because the theatre I was in erupted when he was on scene in the Destiny.

I think the movie did an amazing job of showing that Shinn was actively trying to change, and for the better. In GSD Final Plus, we know Kira invites Shinn to work with him. This is enough to make Shinn join COMPASS to work with Kira. He keeps saying he wants to help Kira shoulder the burden he has. Kira constantly eclipses Shinn's potential as a pilot.

The movie does a fantastic job of showing Shinn in the Immortal Justice, a Gundam that runs on a battery that is acceptable in a non-nuclear world, that is built with Athrun Zala's piloting style in the Infinite Justice in mind. This machine, while symbolically the partner to the Rising Freedom, is not meant for Shinn. It symbolizes that while Shinn wants to work with Kira, his machine isn't meant for him. Shinn not only doesn't like the armaments on the Immortal Justice (his mobile suits, especially the Destiny, seem to have mid-range options, while the Immortal Justice is very much close range), it also runs battery operated. Shinn is one of the only Cosmic Era pilots to drain batteries quickly. In the Impulse, he drained them and needed replacements fast. He isn't like Kira, who can work under constraints.

The moment Shinn receives the Destiny, he gets access to his preferred armaments, to a nuclear powered pack (something that he benefits from immensely), AND to the symbolic power he gave up. The Destiny was his final, all powerful suit, and it was misused in GSD. He was panicky, angry, emotional and unfocused because of what he was doing. He didn't have the backing he did now. The thing I enjoyed the most is that we have not one, but two uses of Shinn's music in GSF. There is the use of Kakusei Shinn Asuka from Gundam SEED DESTINY in parts of the theme while Shinn is in the Destiny Spec II. There is the use of Impulse! Shutsukegi while he is taking off in the Destiny. There is no shortage of callbacks to the Shinn in the beginning of Destiny who was the hero. The music is symbolic that Shinn has gone back to being right. He knows the course he's on.

We have the ultimate tell-all when Meteor by T.M. Revolution, a theme meant for Kira when he is heroically charging into battle, ends with Shinn's Destiny destroying three Black Knight units. Meteor is still the theme of the hero flawlessly saving his allies. But it isn't Kira's, because Kira doesn't flawlessly save his allies. It becomes Shinn's because he is. Shinn is positioned again to be the hero that he didn't get to be in Destiny.

On the far left, we have Kira and Athrun, who win against their enemies with cinematic backdrops. Their choices in music highlight that their battled were difficult. Athrun had meticulous planning and Cagalli's support. Kira needed the Mighty Strike Freedom to fight Orphee, and Lacus's psychic powers. The only person who didn't need anything, who essentially did what Kira did when he received his new Freedom units during SEED and DESTINY, is Shinn.

I was amazed, absolutely amazed, at how Fukuda somehow redeemed a character who we left off with as a childish, angry villain. Shinn had no personality traits that made him likeable at the end of DESTINY. Having him show up with the one thing he could find - wanting to work to a better world with Kira - and highlight how his change in mindset essentially made him better, was genius.

It gets even more intense when you read the novel. You have Aura Maha Khyber constantly going on and on about Durandal, how she was influenced by him. The Black Knight squad constantly goes on about how much Durandal was like a father to them too. But they degrade Shinn, who was Durandal's ace pilot. They look down on him, berate his skills, assume he's no good. When reading all of the above in that context, the added layer that Shinn destroys them in the Destiny Spec II, a machine that Durandal originally made for Shinn, is the best storywriting possible. It shows that they underestimated Durandal's own discovery. Durandal, who might have been wrong about everything, was not wrong about discovering Shinn. Shinn did turn out to be a gem of a pilot. He needed the right armaments (something Kira needs too, fyi), the right motivation, and the right people supporting him.

I really like that Shinn found his support group in Kira and Lunamaria. I like that he grew from where he ended off in Destiny into a dependable ally to Kira. Where Athrun always had the confidence as a pilot, Shinn needed to show that he was always good. That he was the "Freedom Killer" for a reason. He was Durandal's ace pilot for a reason.

Never in a million years would I have thought that a movie titled Gundam SEED FREEDOM would make me love Shinn Asuka and the Destiny more.

Another important thing I think needs to be said is that Durandal also had something correct about Athrun. Athrun is able to pilot anything. He pilots Goufs, GINNs... He pilots the Z'Gok. He pilots the Aegis (basically a mobile armour). He was meant to pilot the Legend. Ironic name aside (Athrun is basically a legend in GSF, with every single villain going on about how good he was), the DRAGOON system in the Legend should have been hard for him to use. In Gundam SEED FREEDOM, Athrun uses the Strike Freedom, with its much more difficult DRAGOON system, and he does it so well that Shura doesn't even realize it isn't Kira.

Durandal knew his pilots and their capabilities so well. How insane that he knew Athrun could handle a DRAGOON system.
