i feel like. the more i like and care about something. the less i am capable of watching video essays about it. game i never heard of and don't intend to ever play? sure i'll watch 8hrs discussing it's flaws.
but thing i like? if you think you can point out flaws i'm not already aware of, you are dead wrong. none know better how much my interests suck than me.
and also. if you get one thing wrong about them i'll maul you. with things i like it means i've already seen every single piss on the poor take of it ever, and i'm much more polarized. i got emotional investment. i'm going to start biting people.

Any time Jason is just throwing his own morals in the trash and blindingly following Bruce, it should be clear that it's because that man cannot stop caring. It's not something good, it's a sign that there's something wrong with him, actually.
It's destroying him inside, he's kept awake at night thinking that some repeat offender he begrudgingly didn't kill will escape and make another victim. It's eating at him because he sees it as he becoming Bruce, but he won't give that up because, well, Bruce (and maybe one or two other adjacent people) is everything he has left and he will not, despite everything, give that up. It's selfish and he hates himself for it, but its Jason putting himself first (something no one has ever done for him). And every night he looks at his empty house, thinks of the people who aren't really by his side, and asks himself if it's worth.
None of Jason having a change of heart. No regret and no guilt for the people he did kill, but guilt for the fact that his inaction might result in new victims.
And in the end is just him and the people he couldn't save, including himself.

My headcanon is that Cale taught himself how to wake up from nightmares without a physical reaction when he started sharing bed with the kids.
The first time, he woke up from his nightmares in panic and looked for a weapon that was not there, scaring the kids. He felt so guilty that now, when he wakes up, he just lies there, petrified and deadly silent, trying to convince himself that everything is okay.
Looking at the cellig, fighting the fear of the monsters that pursue him from his dreams with the warmth of the dragon and the weight of the cats

Nettles's story matters because of her lack of privilege. Because of the place she comes from. Because her heritage is left up in the air. The valyrians were shepherds before they were dragonriders and there's an inherent power to this person who was a nobody taming a wild dragon in a way the valyrians first could have attempted when they discovered dragons. She tamed Sheepstealer the way anyone might try to tame a wild animal, feeding and building a bond with him gradually. It can never be given to another character and have the same effect, especially if said character is the highborn daughter of two powerful families. She was literally just a girl and she tamed Sheepstealer and that story loses all of its power when it's Daem on's trueborn daughter whose own dragon hatching for her was meaningful in its own way, imo.

Just watched The Character Sheet's interview with Midst's creators about Moonward. And at one point they were asked if it was intimidating sitting at the same table as Marisha and Liam and they basically responded by saying "yes" but also kind of geeking out about it. Then I remembered all the times Marisha talked about feeling intimidated sitting at the same table as Laura in the home games before Critical Role started. To think that nervous girl is, not only having the same effect on other people but, also using her position to boost other creators makes me so happy and proud as a fan.

the supreme court is so comically evil like you really have to vote blue across the board they made it legal to criminalize homelessness, overturned chevron which means the extremely conservative courts get to override health officials and environmental regulations
like infant mortality has increased by 8% in some states post roe, they will avoid the trump immunity case as long as possible, they essentially shielded all the jan 6 rioters
if biden loses we could be stuck with 6-3 or 7-2 extremely conservative judges for decades!!! that could mean 40 years of social rights regulations and health codes thrown out the door!!! look how much we’ve lost in 8 years?
and what about pack the courts? you can’t pack the courts with this split congress you can’t pass roe laws with this split congress you really have to vote blue all the way

the audacity of Xie Lian in the first book to say "I'm afraid you don't know how to paint the Prince of Xianle, am I right?"
Hua Cheng had to have been thinking ".................while you were scrap-collecting, I studied the blade brush"
