#liar rant

I feel so bad for her ex! Like dude thought he was dying from cancer and then because he wasn’t the best at communicating his girlfriend leaves him. Even then he waits ages, still loves her, and then finds out she likes someone else. Takes it like a champ too. Damn bro, I may be rooting for the second male lead in this drama

thanks for listening

So I was rereading the Dushyanta and Shakuntala story, and I just noticed the worst thing ever. Every mortal couple in Hindu Mythology that anyone ever called the "definition of true love" has been sundered from one another in at least one version, and usually this involves the woman being innocent and the man being either duty-bound or a jerk.

Krishna has to leave Vrindavan and Radha for Mathura. I whole-heartedly believe this was inevitable unless Radha left Vrindavan, so I don't take Krishna-slander regarding this but. They never really get together together after that so Idk tbh.

Rama, of course, does the whole Agni-Pariksha thing, even if we don't take the Uttar Kand, and if we do, he goes from reputation-obsessed questionable man to utter jerk who absolutely doesn't deserve to be called Purushottam.

And although Kalidasa did an excellent job of making Dushyanta and Shakuntala's story one of star-crossed lovers, in most other cases, Dushtyanta (in an effort to pull a Rama) outright lies and calls Shakuntala a harlot in open court when she asks him to help raise their son. The only good thing about that "love" story is the ABSOLUTE Tongue-Lashing (TM) Shakuntala gives him. Other than that, it's basically a man coercing a sheltered woman into doing the deed, later trying to humiliate her in public when asked to take accountability, and then passing it off as 'upholding her reputation.'

Honestly, we have so many good love stories I did not expect these to be the benchmark of love 🥲🫠

Ever think about how tragic it is to be in The Universe's place as a being that loves all of creation but can never express that in a way that the subjects of their affection can understand so they created a middle line of it. To grant any and all wishes just to show that they are there, they are listening, and they are giving you the means to grasp what you desire.

But it's never enough because to a higher being such as The Universe, with no bias on What wish to grant or a bias on What is right or wrong, they grant wishes indiscriminately. Because they love everyone, so they grant everyone's wishes, all the while bending it so as to prevent needless damage, because they love you.

But their love is also what hurts you, like how Loop had to give up in the end cuz of how hopeless it all seemed so Loop had to make another wish. And how Siffrin continued to suffer during the timeloops, and especially how much it hurts Loop, to see someone else achieve what they've always wanted to have. To Loop, they're The Universe's favourite cosmic joke but to The Universe, they love them.

They granted Loop's wish, and then granted another, they continuously grant Siffrin's wish. They love them, but they don't know how much it hurts all the same because they can't understand the way all of creation expresses love. Because their own language is incomprehensible to anyone else but them. Ever think about how lonely it must be to be a higher being with a language only they can understand.

sorry sw could you repeat that? who betrayed who?

cause i seem to remember catra doing nothing other than carrying out a horde plan that required the use of the black garnet and somebody freaked tf out, pretty much tryna take out everybody in the room cause someone's obsession w power had em throwin a tantrum like an old evil baby and that's what landed em in a prison cell ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(and yes i did overlay the "catra betrayed me" soundbyte a possibly def absurd amount of times during these clips sorry not sorry i just hate sw so fucking much, couldn't help it <3)

- it wrecks my bones so bad they all shatter, in a full-body cast for life, that catra goes to visit the one who caused the instincts and rationale that come w believing a person's worth is directly tied to their power to just be part of the way her mind works. sw now a prisoner, catra tryna ask about some missing file cause she's got her old position. but just for that one time for that one question. of course.

--- i think the only reason she still needed sw to be the one to give her some, any kind of validation or assurance at this point wasn't about sw the way it had ever been in the past. honestly i think she'd grown pretty accustomed to having to live without any recognition from sw that she meant a damn thing, cause she'd had adora there back then, and she made her feel like she did. but sw was the one who'd put all these thoughts about herself and her own life's lack of any significance into her head that directly contributed to developing the thought processes and rationale exhibited in her behaviors, and they're all factors in her decision to part ways from the only person who'd ever made her feel like she meant something, like her life wasn't worthless.

cause she reached a point where she felt like that was all a lie and none of it had been real, and became determined to create that on her own, and get back that feeling and have it exist in a way that's dependent on no one but her. and the sw survival guide is the only way she knows of for how to (supposedly) do that.

gets the tiniest glimpse of some hope she might actually finally get the validation she needs from sw at a time when she may not fully get why, but she needs it more than ever. and i think a big part of why is now that she's made it to second-in-command, she's been wondering if it all really is what she wants and probably still considering whether or not she'd made the right choice staying. then next visit, sw's gone, left the evidence that she tricked catra into bringing her exactly what she needed to do it. knowing it left catra likely to take the fall for it and it very likely being a death sentence if she does.

which would make sense as to why she freaks soo sooo badly when she hears where sw went. there's def gotta be a lot going on in her head there but i think part of it was sw went to the person she'd still been wondering if she should've gone to, and was visiting sw tryna get some sense or feeling that at least by staying she'd made her life worth something. and after what sw did to her, as long as she's w adora, then catra ever feeling able to even consider being w adora is wrecked af for her.

fck off shadow weaver forever and ever ok~

I found out that the police in the USA also killed dogs (Even defenseless ones) because they considered them a threat, fucking USA, Harris fans for supporting genocide, Trump fans who are just as fucked up as the previous one, and the death penalty for an innocent fucking man (Because Americans are so fucked up and don't fight to abolish the death penalty), Plus, supposedly in the USA there is paid health care… The USA is a fucked up country with people who only care about themselves

Fuck the entire USA and people who say they care about Palestine and then they fucking talk about voting for Zionist Harris and watch fucking Disney movies that are fucking boycotted because Disney gave fucking money to Israel

As usual, your own comfort and rights at the expense of other people's lives are more fucking important to you, right?

But what should we expect from people who are descendants of fucking colonizers?

The USA never helped Poland in the fight against the Third Reich, it did the fucking minimum and took all the Poles' success, you did nothing to stop Hitler

Now you do nothing fucking to help Palestine, you pretend to be smart as usual and then wash your hands of yourselves when you are going to do something!

What if someone tells you outright that you're crazy to vote for a Zionist bitch? You'll call him a fucking Russian troll! You have such a high fucking ego!

Stop lying that the US has the best laws when it's a fucking lie! But you are xenophobes who consider all other countries inferior to themselves!

It's fucking time to destroy your ego! Because you guys are fucking dangerous!

Your national identity is fucking colonialism and doing nothing fucking to stop the colonizers!

You didn't stop the fucking Third Reich, and now you're not stopping fucking Israel! The USA is not a paradise, the USA is full of fucked up minds who have egos so big that talking to them is like talking to a fucking wall!

Stop stealing other countries' successes to lie that they're yours!

I'm a trainer at my job and my trainee yesterday no joke said "long before time had a name" and I had to push down every reaction I could've gone with because I needed to seem normal.

I ended up saying, "Is that a reference to something?"

Girl.

[just-about-nothing]

spike you loser. you absolute nutjob loser. also once again spike charming all of buffy's family is wild behavior and i fully support him in it

[kdramacrybaby]

Oh wait wtf someone actually killed her?! But then again… it was kinda soon to have resolved that part of the drama, so maybe I should have seen it coming

Could it be someone we’ve already seen? I don’t feel like it is. In the preview they make it seem like it could still somehow be Do-ha, but I just don’t really think it is. They’ll pull out some random person from their hat of convenient plot points sooner or later, I’m (almost) willing to bet on it.

Official “Jee ask”

BRO. JEE.

Istg. Jee.

That man.

Oh my lord.

THE SASS?? HELLO??

It’s soooo unserious. Every time I read his pov my highscore on the giggle-meter goes up.

he is my favorite non-sokka pov to read because of how hilarious his reactions are.

those eyebrow muscles must be swole as hell. Im serious. His eyebrow game must be studied.

I looovee his attitude bro

“Chang practically announced to the whole bar” when they were debriefing what went down in the SWT camp oh my god he is soooo dramatic

Or when he asks Bato “is this another one of your hypothetical scenarios?” Oh my goooodddddd 😭 I’m literally dying he is soo funny. And I don’t think he even realizes.

He is genuinely one of the most entertaining povs to read if I could make one of those “why we <do xyz>” list on “why we read liab” I’d definitely have “for Jee’s eyebrows” or “for Jee’s attitude” up there.

You know exactly how to write middle aged people who are just Done™ with everything.

That poor man cannot take one more problem added to his list and he will make sure of it.

In a way he kinda reminds me of V, (oh my god it’s been so long since I’ve thought about V) and her no-nonsense attitude

Okay I have so many more things to say but I’m not forming coherent thoughts right now, but basically this is the official

Jee Appreciation Ask™

We ❤️ Jee.

We ❤️ LIAB.

official Jee ask deserves the official LIAB Jee image:

@vintageskeletons for making this hahaha

I’m really glad the way I wanted Jee to come across translated well because an unintentionally intentional sassy old man who was fed up with everything while also caring extremely deeply about everything and everyone was my goal. Yayayayyayyy I’m glad you like him haha.

sometimes i worry about my internet footprint and the fact that it might stop me from getting a job in the future or something (i literally run a blog posting screenshots from fanfics i read) but then i think ‘well damn, if they can find all this information about me then i don’t deserve the job cause i know i wouldn’t put in that much effort to find information on someone’ and i feel better

[harukapologist]

Fellow milgrammies! I arrive with yet another 09-related poll. I'm very curious as to what the most popular theory is currently, so,

Please feel absolutely free to rb & tell me your thoughts!!! I'm seeing lots of different interpretations about anything 09 related lately so I want to hear your opinions.

[aria0fgold]

Wait, okay. It's still about The Cursing of Château Castle but something I realized is that Pierre-Jacques-Erneste isn't referred to with a title. Joséphandre was always referred to as Lord before the whole reveal at the end where he wasn't even a prince or someone with a high status, he was Just a Guy so both the npc and Mira dropped the title. Another character that's been named in the series has a title, Lady Irene-Janine-Karine and was said to be a good character.

Pierre-Jacques-Erneste destroyed his castle as a self-sacrifice to save Joséphandre in Issue #68 so that means he has a castle, but isn't even referred to with the title of Lord even during his first appearance in Issue #10. So my theory is that Pierre-Jacques-Erneste is the unwanted illegitimate child of his family and was never treated as nobility so his initial goal in joining Joséphandre is to gain that status of nobility he was robbed from and to bask in the fame of someone hailed as a hero that was largely known by the people as one with a high status.

But because of the journey, he came to question his very goals so in the end, when faced with the choice of choosing between his castle and his friend, Pierre-Jacques-Erneste chose his friend over a castle that didn't and won't acknowledge him as being a part of it. He had to fight tooth and nail just to gain his place in a castle that only saw him as a "trash," and yet he was welcomed in Joséphandre's party and even found a better place to belong to in it.
