Don't use rational thought as a defense with me, not after all you and I have seen. Vaughn, you and I live and breathe madness every day on the job...there is no...rational thought! I can't even pretend to have a conversation about anything else with you. What it comes down to is faith.
#alias#sydney bristow#michael vaughn#sydney x vaughn#aliasedit#alias: 3x01#tvedit#jennifer garner#michael vartan#i made dis#ok so truth time#I do not fault vaughn for moving on#BUT I'm still in love with this scene#becasue she's 100000% correct#you do not owe him shit girl#like boy had the right to move on#he didn't know#and I don't find fault in him not thinking that maybe sydney was still alive#but he did come there for absolution from that#and she does not owe him that#she does not owe him understanding#i guess all i'm trying to say is her feelings are so damn valid#she doesn't need to act ok with this whole wild situation to spare his feelings#thank you and goodnight

Gen V really missed the opportunity to make Luke/Cate/Andre a (closeted) throuple instead of that dumb cheating plot
#gen v#luke riordan#andre anderson#cate dunlap#think about it: Andre joining their relationship is still fresh so he wasn't there for the stuff with Sam and later feels very guilty for#not noticing Cate manipulating Luke right under his nose#plus they could never go public about their relationship cause Luke is Golden Boy™ and Andre is in the shadow of Polarity#people misconstructing the dynamic between them thinking Andre is envious of Luke when Luke is his one personal reason to#join the 7 apart from his dad's pushing because then they can stay close and hiding in plain sight under the guise of bromance#people thinking Cate moved on too quickly from Luke to Andre but they're both trying to cope with losing 1/3 of their heart#the flashbacks in Cate's mindspace could be about failing Luke in other ways like not noticing he wasn't well or letting the press turn#him into a villain and just wishing they had more time together as 3 before Luke died plus Jordan didn't know about them despite being close#idk I'm just rambling at this point but yeah they could've made it poly if they weren't cowards

#on Friday one of my students was like 'are you a swiftie' and i said yes#and this one boy was like i have never heard you mention her#and i gave myself a mental high five for my own restraint#i have really tried to tamp down on that this year because things just get out of hand too fast otherwise#then of course 6th period came around and my defenses were gone and it was Friday and several students were gone#so I spoke on her and what I believed her legacy would be lol#and then I felt really bad about that decision :((((( for some reason#the kids loved it. but that is no sign that it was the right call!#anyway still reflecting#i did love that the student didn't know#i really want to be restrained both in general but especially about Taylor in my professional setting#and just. not be opening myself up to needless barbs about her but also not alienating people?#i HATE alienating people i want to reach all of them and the less I have standing in my way the better#so kind of constantly diffusing what threatens to blow up out of proportion#is like. half of my job#another student asked me immediately afterwards if i liked Kanye and i said gently that i did not know Kanye's music so i couldn't tell him#but like. i'm not getting into it you know? i'm not getting into the Taylor Culture Wars or whatever. I will not fan the flames of that#with students especially. but also i do care about her she's such a real part of my heart and my outlook#that sometimes I feel compelled to speak!#and just let them know what's going on in my heart#but yeah. as with many feelings relating to Taylor i often feel bad or foolish immediately afterwards for being vulnerable#kind of no position more vulnerable than taking the side of a millionaire pop star that people love to hate on#kidding!!! but I mean it's not wholly untrue#i like to think i try to move the space of the conversation immediately into something both grounded and relevant#when I do bring her up. and hopefully away from the worst bits of the inflammatory nature of Taylor discussions.#i hope it's healing for somebody/does any good.#but i have no way of knowing#i'm just rambling. it's saturday night and i had half a very strong drink#so my mind's just mulling.

An ordinary day for an ordinary little girl
(Theo the monkey boy is the @doodlesdreaming's OC)
#Crossover#Dead Cells#DC the King#King Conrard#My Headcanon#OC#original characters#Tetra#Theo the monkey boy#artist on tumblr#A Castaigne's rapid appearance#I can imagine him being a proud person#believing himself to be better than others but a coward when it really counts (like Gilderoy Lockhart if you want a better comparison)#Not so egotistica - as he sometimes tries to do the right thingl#as he sometimes tries to do the right thing#Let's move on to Tetra - the sweetest girl in the world#She'll kiss anyone she likes. For people she doesn't know and/or doesn't like - she'll be very polite#giving a more classic greeting (a bow) with a big smile#She's always barefoot. Much to the displeasure of her parent Hyde#And why is her hair done up in the front and not in the back ?#Hyde tried to discipline her hair but it's so long to style that they finally gave up#Tetra doesn't care about her hair. She finds them even more beautiful and atypical like this#She's an 8 - 10 year old and it bothers her too when it takes a long time to do her hair#Conrard - seeing the little girl's kindness - wanted to adopt her BUT Hyde wasn't for it#(imagine a “fight” between “daddies” and her watching the showwaiting for it to calm down)#She could so easily have been the daughter he never had and never will have... AH ! Oops ! Spoiler ! >P#I'll leave you with this information (I'll have to draw this one day !)

unfortunately i do think this was kind of a weak season finale, there's a lot of stuff from overarching story arcs throughout the season that feel really unresolved (not in a 'this story is gonna keep on going' way, just a straight up 'we're not addressing this any longer' kind of way).
like, have sam and lois talked? she has a lot of abandonment issues and the last time they interacted he abandoned her and it sent her spiraling, have they communicated about this? why did waller go on the run? did checkmate turn against her? why are slade and lex apparently on the same side now? they hated each other and slade should be thrilled lex's metallos failed, why are they suddenly apparently pals? do they even still work for the government? clark and lois's "break up" and the issues involved in it on both clark and lois's side hasn't ever actually been addressed and it needs to be, are we ever gonna see that? where tf are clark's little shorts????? are they gone forever?????
combining that with the fact that this episode feels really padded (given that there was just this constant circular 'they're up they're down they're up they're down' for like 90% of the fight with brainiac), i do really feel like the story would have been better served if they cut the padding, resolved the brainiac invasion at the end of ep 9, and devoted ep 10 to addressing these myriad loose ends in a tight enough way that the season doesn't feel incomplete but still leaving doors open for season 3. because some of the loose ends are fine, 'oh we don't know what happened to hank henshaw', that's just a good teaser for whenever he shows up next season as metallo, that's a good loose end to have for a season finale. but a lot of these just feel like unresolved plots that aren't getting any resolution ever. sam lane went through an entire character arc and we didn't see any of it and it feels jarring, it feels like a writing fail. which is unfortunate because i really love this show and most of the writing has been very good, especially this season.
so i hope that they're able to be a bit tighter and more cohesive for season 3. and also pay chris parnell a hundred million dollars so he can voice anime slade wilson in every single episode.
#personal#my adventures with superman#the sam lane stuff in particular is just#like there was set up to make this a major arc especially for lois#so honestly it either needed to be left completely unresolved and then moved to season 3#or they needed to lengthen the time devoted to the brainiac invasion plot#like have this season be focused on clark and lois's issues and the sam lane stuff and lex's rise at task force x with waller#and maybe start with kara showing up on earth#and then have the space/brainiac stuff take place throughout season 3#like i am aware that they weren't renewed for season 3 at the time of making season 2#but there was still a way to make this season satisfying in its own right as a self contained story#while not making the ending of it kinda nonsensical and feel like it has a really slapdash resolution#and i don't think they nailed it#but i love this show and this season had far more positives than any kind of negatives#so i eagerly await season 3#release jack quaid from whatever bullshit is happening over at the boys and let him just be superman here for the next two decades

update tinder guy superliked me, asked me on a date, spent the entire thing belittling and making fun of me and seeming vaguely angry at me. then asked me for a second date
#that was the worst weirdest date i have ever been on what the fuck#like. got weirdly angry at me for having a decent relationship with my immediate family#like 'oh well at least you have [blank] 🙄😒' so many times and would not stop reminding me how much harder his life supposedly is#literally asking me to say hardships in my life so he could 'one-up' them. ????????????#you would have literally thought i was a member of the royal family#like i had already said i was poor and was bullied in school and he was STILL kept insinuating-#-i had a family who gives me tons of money (lol) and was popular/well-liked in school. unlike him. of course#also making fun of my interests how i talk act write texts etc etc etc#you know who i bet would never do this. that's right. my crush who i can never have FUCK IT WE'RE BACK BOYS WOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK MOVING ON#one of his ice breakers was 'what's your worst tinder experience' though. guess what buddy!!!!#next time i get asked that i'll have a funnier story thank you

tonight I go to bed grateful not to be in my bnha phase right now
#pickle pontificates#oh boy. i see stuff starting to blow up over there right now#i have many feelings and thoughts about that series and the amount of good it did for me cannot be underestimated#but i was starting to get a bit frustrated with it around when the war arc started#and i sort of fizzled out in interest#and i stopped keeping up with the manga around the traitor reveal i think#it's bittersweet because on the one hand i cannot say enough about the good it did me#it influenced my real life and studies and hobbies in kind of a big way#but on the other hand i don't feel great about the direction it went#and I'm glad I didn't have to be disillusioned while i was in the middle of fangirling and fixating and whatever else#I'd also rather not be involved in whatever discourse I keep catching whiffs of#seeing that was always the most exhausting part of trying to scavenge the fandom and i am too tired for that#yeah. i guess I'm just glad i got to spend time with it when i did and also that I'm doing other stuff now#watch me talk about media like it's my ex rofl#not entirely wrong though... pretty sure I have seriously and directly compared reading dungeon meshi to falling in love on here#and that's been the case with other things. i fall fast and i fall hard and then we have a passionate affair for a few months to a year#and then we amicably agree to be friends with benefits forever and I move on to the next one#(at least with stuff I really like)#bnha is more of an ex that I had a great time with who taught me a lot but I'm kinda only stalking them on social media once in a while#and they're sorta expressing some mildly concerning political opinions that I probably should've seen coming#but they really weren't that much of a problem back then so it's not like i could've really done anything about it#(this is totally different from the way i do relationships irl which is that i don't and haven't ever)

i love things that happen because of a specific thing
#like ok thats everything winter i hear you say#yeah but i love to think about it#especially when the thing that happened is objectively bad but the thing that youre ledt with you cant imagine your life without (pos)#like without 9/11 we dont have mcr#like the pandemic happening -> breaking my foot from going on too many walks -> ascending to true emo form#like ok yeah me being insane about some bands is Not worth all the lives lost#but like. i dont know if it would be the same otherwise?#also with listening to podcasts#which led to meeting my roommate from last year (who i hopefully will become better friends with this year GOD pls shes so cool)#but then like also. if we hadnt moved right before kindergarten i would very likely be fluent in spanish#so theres things like that too ig#the world is crazy and wild and i love it#like so often i think about my life if we hadnt moved where/when we did#bc ok so for my whole preschool life i lived in arizona#which. fun fact is not super great for trans ppl or latinos#we lived in a town that was… more or less liberal? i think. i dont really remember#but like would i be as trans now if i had grown up fully there?#i mean probably i had a stint as a toddler where i was a boy for like two months#so its always been there#anyway. crazy things#rambles#winter stfu

Honestly the funniest thing about Haruka's idol story line in y5 (and dont any of you come at me with the You're Lessening Mirei's Evil Heinous Actions shit, I know she was the antagonist, blah blah) is the fact that as far as traineeships go Haruka's.... wasn't all that unusual- Living on your own away from your parents? Par the course. Having older figures be unduly harsh about your talent/looks? Also par the course. Insane schedules? Creepy fans? Yep. In fact Haruka is older than a lot of people are when they start traineeships nowadays... Like that aspect of the game could have been played up for even more dramatic value than it was.
#Like in real life right now theres kids who have moved /countries/ to become idols#At as young as /12 years old/#and some of them dont see their families for years like Haruka's whole situation is less wild than a bunch of real people#god i got a random kpop video of a 17 yr old boy [who is already in a debuted group????]#and he was surprised with seeing his mum AFTER 3 AND A HALF YEARS ???#like he hadnt seen her in person since he was 13 and now hes 17 and...... How is that legal#Also that video fucked me up bc he wasnt even like happy he looked confused and shy and awkward like God send that boy home rn#all the therapy hes gonna need.... Anyway suffice to say#Having Haruka's storyline esp when you consider the people writing the games are in the JP entertainment industry was pretty interesting#Like they clearly have feelings and critiques and I liked that they tried to do something with that#Also one of the girls in y6 was a former idol who had her career ruined bc she dared to be seen#smoking with a male idol when she was 20 or so and got fired because of it- so i mean at least rgg gave her some work idk#this post is just a stream of consciousness rambling about how i find the idol industry interesting and odd#Some aspects of it i think are clever but other aspects are so HMMMMMM#20-30 years from now maybe even sooner i feel like theres gonna be some INTERESTING tell-alls

“Damian isn’t ooc what are you talking aboutttt he’s only 14 and wants to trust his dad so badlyyyy guyssss don’t get upsettt” have you never read a comic with Damian in it in your life
#I FUCKING HATE TJISHDJDHF#WHAT IS GOING ON AM I INSANE???? AM I LOSING IT???#Damian trusting his dad despite BRUCE acting so out of character EVEN IF ITS TO PRAISE DAMIAN AND MAKE HIM FEEL SPECIAL#HAS HAPPENED BEFORE#AND HE HAS SPOTTED THAT SHIT AS STRANGE A MILE AWAY#AND HE WAS LIKE. 12. AT FOURTEEN WE’VE ESTABLISHED DAMIAN AS MORE OBSERVANT AND PREPARED FOR THIS#it can either be taken as retrofitting him into ‘normal’ developmental periods which again. we’ve established Damian has as the antithesis#or as a way to put down his character in the robin mantle in order to make Tim’s run look smart and perfect in comparison. which is gross.#Tim has been Robin and even moved past it and became even better and now we’re what? missing the good ol days?#Tim became Robin in 1989. NINETEEN EIGHTY NINE GUYS#THATS 35 YEARS AGO#I KNOW ITS NOSTALGIC FOR YOU BUT YOU HAD A LOT OF STUFF WITH HIM IN IT AND HES JUST A SMART LITTLE WHITE BOY#Damian became Robin in 2009 and we’ve barely tapped into his psychology because comics is so hot buttoned right now#that they don’t know which aspect to deal with first and foremost and always choose Bruce’s relationship as an easy out#Damian was Robin for barely 15 years and yet the guy that got DOUBLE his time is back for round 3. ok.#and here we are again.#Damian has proven himself to be so capable and smart his only downfall is his own hubris and inexperience#he has been trained SINCE BIRTH to use his head guys. a few years in America didnt take that out of him.#anyway. plz pick up a comic. damian would know better cause he’s not an average 14 y/o and he’s not just a traumatized little boy.#‘ohhhh he craves his dads attention and praise so much he’d believe anything he saiiiddd’ WHO TOLD YOU THAT??? ZDARSKY??#WHAT WAS ALL OF HIS YEAR OF PENANCE ON THAT ISLAND FOR#WHAT WAS HIS ARC WITH DISTANCING HIMSELF FROM HIS FATHER A BIT IN THE WAKE OF NEEDING SOME TIME TO HIS OWN REVELATIONS#WHAT ABOUT IT. DID IT JUST NOT HAPPEN SUDDENLY#whatever.

The masculine urge to be strong, consistent and vigorous (physically, mentally, emotionally) and provide (financially, basic needs, shelter, love) as an adult, who grew up in a wrecked and abusive home which then slashed gnarly tears in my spirit (and the life-long desire to have these gaps softened by real love)
#I'd been thinking about this#I mean... I'm succeeding in those areas. I put in a life's worth of work to outgrow my upbringing - tho in a tactic + considered manner#aka I didn't move out the flippin' house as soon as I could - since flat broke I couldn't had built the career I'm building right now i.e.#It hasn't been all daisies choosing to stay home but it has gotten me far and has made me resilient and strong 👐🤠#And now as I enter my 30s I feel I've been together enough for some years that I crave a love who lets me care like a boy lmao -#To eventually build a life with somebody that feels warm and secure and good. while my spirit can learn to heal/rest in their embrace#personal#When I say care like a dude it's not taking someone's independence away. like. just lemme fix your house defects or get u to eat fancy stuf

random life photos from the past few months
#context/explanations given here in the tags now since photo captions are no longer a thing#(from top left to right) image 1: was on a very long drive and had to pull over somehwere to use the bathroom and stretch my achy legs and#stuff but the little parking lot had a cool patch of flowers! .. image 2: LORGE potato chip. featruing my beautiful boy borgy.. a potato#himself..#image 3: one of my favorte types of flowers. these little blue/periwinkle colored ones#image 4: costume idea that was kind of okay but ALL of the images turned out absolutely terrible and just did not photograph#well so.. I have like.. ONE image of it that I took on my phone just to document lol#image 5: GIANT FERERRO ROCHER!!! though it's hollow in the middle which is stinky lol.. It's still fun.. love Orbs.. I liked to throw#it in the air and catch it probably more than I liked eating it lol#image 6: a boiled egg with garlic powder and pepper and some bacon and green onions. nice little snack#image 7: one of the many 6 leaf clovers I found so far this year? I found a lot over the course of a month andnow I'm back to not finding a#any. I wonder if something about it is seasonal? Like clovers are most in the growth spurt phase (with some mutuations popping up in the gr#up as it rapidly blooms or something) during a certain month and then after that they kind of die down for the season. Like I wonder if#there's a prime timing to look for mutated clovers? I can still find the 4 leafs now but for a while there I was just finding 5-6 leaf and#even a 7 leaf all over the place. Now it seems muc hmore rare again.#image 8: a little spot of rainbow on the planks outside#image 9: gjhghj I can't grill in my apartment because the fire alarm is too sensitive so sometimes I move#to a patio space outside and set up my goofy little griddle to make asparagus in a tiny cramped outdoor space hhjk#image 10: GOOSE!! spotted whilst on a walk. I rarely see them out in the wild so I wonder where they came from?#photo diary

"i love starting shit on the internet" i sure dont but i love when someone just looks at your ragepost and goes "wrong"
not in a mad way, not in a defensive way, just in a "take a breather this was misinterpreted" kinda way. like woah thanks man. im gonna go eat a melon or something
#this happened on twt once#'TWITTER?? MERCY??' yes i know the words do not go together#just had a frigid take#someone let me know it was stupid#no shame in it you fuck up sometimes#but its nice to know that nobody's honking their car horn at you#rolling their eyes on the other side of the phone type shit#that they're just “ohh boy that's. that's not right”#and willing to talk about it#that's cool#kudos to you#if you do that#patience anywhere is a virtue but patience on the internet? a blessing from the gods#sips glass of milk#i will make like a toddler and sit in that small little chair in the corner (my desk) consider my actions and move on (i will feel shame#and drink my chocolate milk but i will learn something)#(maybe i already learned something? maybe i'm learn*ing*)#already happened once i just need to let it sink in#'maybe im right this time!! i should defend my-' shhh. you should calm the fuck down maybe#i'll try drinking my milk first next time

bonus thing i cherish in this shot is that it's the one time it's immediately noticeable that her hair length is uneven....let's go Cutting One's Own Hair (With Or Without A Mirror) look havers irl (b/c of cutting one's own hair with or without a mirror, maybe) & even when it's recreated on purpose like so
#haven't yet rewatched fury road as i've been anticipating doing for weeks now. we're on the verge of it though i can sense it#thank god ms charlize (juking diacritics) decided on Furiosa Will Have Short Hair#the No Diegetic Makeup. the constant (smudged with dirt or grease or blood perhaps) looks#only additional thing that we're demanding from anything. armpit hair please. for furiosa at least#meanwhile siiigh i guess like three days (? i will go through the number of Nights in my head. one. two.) closer to two days#isn't long enough to grow that much leg hair siiigh fine. more difficult to match up leg hair shots chronology too but if only....#reminds me how a while ago i was like half watching smthing & after a fair number of scenes was like oh hang on that's charlize furiosa....#b/c i basically know her From This. i'd seen smthing else she was in years before w/o remembering much details of Anything#(also had technically seen tom hardy in smthing more recently at the time Also w/o recognizing as much. also thanks at least in part to#not especially enjoying the movie) & i'm not great with faces; that most roles are gonna have Longer Hair / Makeup happening#and a lack of constant dirt grease blood etc even like okay this would be quite difficult#so i Didn't recognize the actor for a hot minute until the reason i Did was just this instance of [subtle quiet shift Acting Moment]#where she got this particular Silent Restrained Intensity going and i was like oh hang on. Could Be Her lmao. it was#anyways even capturing this screencap it was like Aughhh that she Walks. Stops. Walks. the Soundtrack doing what it's doing here....#and if there's Anything in this film to illustrate [max: main character] [furiosa: protagonist] boy is it this scene. wah#the end of this shot as capable like starts looking away like ah yeah emotion moment. well i'll give you this privacy#just like the fast & furious crossroads chat about cam fr lol like i'll respectfully turn so i'm not looking right at you for this Real Shi#responding to your reeling deepest devastation by moving forward still as far as you can? a quarter mile at a time of you#fury road
