I'm sorry I'll never be over how funny the chocobros are. There's two different guys who essentially grew up alongside the MC, putting his life before their own and in parts helping raise him for the grand destiny that is about to befall all of them.

And then one totally normal dude you met in highschool who got one month of gun training.

SEVERANCE 2.10 "Cold Harbor"

[youhavethesun]

the hardest thing in this world is to live in it. be brave. live. is so beautiful and such a heart wrenching moment between buffy and dawn but it’s also the saddest thing I have ever heard. this is coming from buffy summers, who ever since she was called has had to fight every day of her life to survive. coming from a girl who was murdered when she was sixteen years old, who didn’t want to die. this is coming from a girl who had to kill the person she was in love with to save the world. someone who has seen classmates slaughtered on a regular basis. a girl who found her mother dead on their living room couch from a brain tumour. a girl who fought tooth and nail to survive every battle, every single apocalypse. who despite every effort to live is sacrificing her life all over again at twenty.

the hardest thing in this world is to live in it. buffy summers knows better than anyone just how hard that is.

Okay, so in an au where Tedesco is elected, I don’t think he would defrock Bellini or Benitez. Instead I think he would allow Benitez to remain a Cardinal, and would allow him to return to Kabul, anticipating his being assassinated upon returning, because being able to spin a Cardinal as a martyr would make great fuel for him to throw on the Holy War fire. You know, Vincent being a sacrificial lamb, whether he’s elected or not, only this time under far more malicious circumstances.

As for Bellini, you know in the Lion King when Scar becomes king, and could 100% kill Zazu, but instead imprisons him in a rib cage and forces him to be his entertainment?

Yeah, that.

s5 wasn’t kind to her

that is to say I genuinely believe if our ciel somehow survived the occultists and didn't make a deal with Sebastian he would shoot himself some months later and the story would have been much shorter.

there's simply no future for Ciel without Sebastian. he would be dead either way. in the hands of the cult or talking his own life.

and it's not Sebastian who stripped him of happiness and joy and power and trust etc etc. it was people. so don't act like Sebastian is somehow the only thing that stops ciel from getting better, he's the main reason ciel is alive at all

unless you think he would be better off dead bc dead ppl don't suffer (which I can somewhat agree with but we're dealing with another kind of story here)

BATTLE ROYALE バトル・ロワイアル (2000) dir. Kinji Fukasaku

[ooooo-mcyt]

I literally never stop thinking about the ways Scott and Jimmy weren't good for each other in Third Life.

Their main problem was always that Jimmy can't stop moving and Scott can't stop holding on to the point where Jimmy feels like he's being dragged down and Scott feels like he's being yanked around.

Jimmy is someone who wants to be involved, who wants to join every fight, who wants to be in the center of things no matter what is costs, and who has something to prove.

Scott is someone who wants safety and control, who is so so happy with something simple and safe and will swallow so much pride if it means they're okay in the end.

Sure, it's easy to call Scott controlling and cowardly, or to call Jimmy flighty and callous, but I don't think either of them were the problem, I think they were just different people.

It wouldn't be fair to expect Jimmy to sit in a gilded cage, to stay still, to ignore the fire inside him and feign contentedness just because it's safe, just because Scott is happy with that kind of life and thinks Jimmy should be too without considering what Jimmy actually needs for his own happiness.

It also wouldn't be fair to expect Scott to happily watch Jimmy gamble their lives and everything they built together over and over, jeopardize their stability, all the while disregarding Scott's feelings when they're supposed to be partners in this, and Scott and their life together is supposed to matter.

(although i would like to point out who 'won' that argument, because in the end jimmy pulled toward war and scott was in fact pulled in right after him. scott wanted to stay safe in their home and not rock the boat, and jimmy wanted to take a stand and fight, and scott let him win and followed jimmy to both of their deaths. which isnt to say jimmy was in the 'wrong', i dont think either was 'wrong', and scott's plan could have gone badly just as easily. but i think it's important characterization to point out that scott very much let jimmy have his way on the most important argument of their relationship and quite literally followed jimmy's path of ambition to his grave)

Like I don't know, I just think Scott and Jimmy's relationship was fascinating, and tragic, and not something you can just split into 'good guy' and 'bad guy' because the conflict comes down to them being different people with fundamentally different values and desires which inherently hurt the other person. Neither of them did anything wrong. The tragedy and cruelty of it isn't because either of them were bad or abusive or forceful or uncaring, but because you can't clip a birds wings or lead a lamb to slaughter without it being violent and cruel, even if nobody is "at fault" for it.

giles was prepared to face the master when buffy didn't want to, for her, to protect her, because he loved her too much to watch her die simply because it was written to be so. then he killed glory when she didn't want to, for her, to protect her, because he loved her too much to chance that hellbitch ever going after his slayer again. and yet she still died both times no matter
