In dragons rising, Lloyd has three ages.
1) his mental age, probably early 20s
2) his physical age, probably mid-late 20s
And 3) the age he looks, which Arin and Sora has informed him is late 30s-40s
Yes, he did sit in his room and have another existential crisis.
And yes, he did ask both Zane and Kai advice on skincare. Right after trying to find some weird dragoni bull to maybe look his age. Instead he accidentally grew markings similar to Garmadon’s and he’s gonna cry again.
#lego ninjago#ninjago#lloyd ninjago#guys he’s lowkey a young adult#but looks like he went through decades upon decades of trauma and experiences#to the point he looks old#rlly old#Sora said thats the age if her parents#Lloyd almost cried#mentally he probably still feels like he’s a teenager#frontal lobe shii ig#he asked Kai for obvi reasons but turns out Zane was the better ine to ask becuase he just knew everythinb on skincare#and like as much as he’s a nindroid zane doesbt actually kniw everything#so lloyd is mildly curious as to why zane just knows and remembers sm abiut skincare#turns out its a teenage Kai’s fault#lloyd just wants to looks his age dammit#for once in his life let him look his age#lloyd garmadon#young lloyd#ninjago dragons rising#dragons rising#arin ninjago#arin#sora ninjago#sora#kai ninjago#kai smith#zane ninjago#zane julien#did i get this idea after seeing a bunch if Lloyd dragons rising fanart where he looks way older then he should be? yes i did

For some reason, the dnd:hat movie has been living rent-free in my head for over a week. Xenk is just rattling around in there right now, having a long talk with Kira about morality, mortality, personal sacrifice, and being a child who saw the Beckoning Death unleashed on their home.
I feel like Xenk would have a lot to say that Kira needs to hear, and be a good listener for the things Kira needs to talk about that she can't tell her dad or Holga. He'd probably benefit from talking to her, too. Kira almost experienced the same tragedy he did when he was her age. It would be cathartic for him to help her through that, knowing he helped save her from ever experiencing what he went through
#edgin and holga want kira to be safe and happy#and I'm sure they'll talk with Kira about what she went through too#but there are a lot of questions Kira might have that they're not equipped to answer#especially about THEM and the tablet of reawakening#and edgin is struggling too much with his own questions about morality and personal preservation vs personal gain vs doing good#xenk is respectable and also patient and understanding and supportive enough to be the perfect confidante for a confused eleven year old#and he's lived the Bad Ending of the traumatic experience she skirted past#she also looks a bit like Ishara#the girl he saw lost in the fog before he ran#and I'm sure the filmmakers did that intentionally so Ishara would remind us of Kira and what was at stake#but it's very easy to turn that around and have Kira remind Xenk of Ishara#dungeons and dragons: honor among thieves#d&d:hat#dnd hat#dnd:hat#xenk yendar#kira darvis#I can't imagine this post will be interesting to more than like. three people#but it's interesting to me!!!#Kira saw one of her parents die in front of her!!#she's eleven years old!!#Xenk has already worked through a mountain of survivor's guilt incurred at a similar age#he's the ideal mentor for her!!#it's all about being the person you needed 😭😭😭#it's all about forgiving yourself for not stopping what happened to you by stopping it from happening to someone else#if you need me I'll be lying in a puddle thinking about grief and processing trauma

jeremy jordan i am so glad that you disregarded what the showrunners for supergirl said and made winn as bisexual as possible
#so much of winn in season 2 is just high levels of bi vibes#winn was definitely one of the best characters in the show and they really just gloss over a lot of what he went through#like “oh we gave him an episode in the first season we don’t need any more things to acknowledge his trauma”#winn schott ily#he’s my bestie fr#supergirl#winn schott#jeremy jordan

I'm thinking about Curly and the fact the fandom is kinda slowly turning on him and starting to,,, blame him? More than Jimmy? And I've just been thinking about that
Like the takeaway from the game that Curly did not do the right thing and was not good at taking care of the crew is DEFINITELY an important, if not the most important, takeaway. Being constantly aware of toxic masculinity causing the bystander effect in others who feel like they have to cover for the toxic ppl is VERY IMPORTANT and I don't want to confuse people into going "Curly did nothing wrong!" "He's just a victim too it's not his fault!" "He didn't need to be responsible for Jimmy's actions!" Cuz that's just dangerous
But I do wanna dive into the fact that I think his actions (lackthereof) aren't just due to toxic masculinity and that feeling many cis men have where they have to cover for other toxic men and try to downplay all negative situations. Maybe it's just that I relate too much to Curly but it really seems to me that, after Anya, he's the most abused by Jimmy.
Like, I rewatched the Curly's Birthday Party scene where Jimmy not only berates him BRUTALLY but does so IN FRONT OF EVERYONE ELSE (/nm) AND Curly doesn't stand up for himself after the first few attempts, which will come back later. Jimmy verbally abuses him so comfortably (seen via 1.him doing it in front of everyone else 2.the fact he got Curly to shut up really fast and 3.the fact nobody stepped in to help Curly/stop Jimmy (which in Anya's case is so fair she was like having a panic attack but I was really expecting Swansea to say something or Daisuke to try and defuse)) really makes it seem like that's a common occurrence. The fact that the crew is used to it just feels like not only has he done that before but he does it frequently enough that even Daisuke, the last minute new hire, is used to it
Like when I first saw that scene my first thought was oh shit Jimmy really does abuse EVERYONE indiscriminately. But it kinda seems like the fandom forgot how quick and comfortable he was verbally abusing Curly On His Birthday Celebration, In Front Of Everyone.
And then, what I said earlier about Curly trying to fight back a little at first before giving up and just taking the beratement 100% applies to the scene where Jimmy beats Curly after giving him his pills. The same thing happens there, Curly screams out at first but eventually stops and just whimpers/cries while Jimmy beats him until he's done, at which point Curly starts full-on crying.
And again, this doesn't absolve him of the fact he didn't help Anya. Not one fucking bit. Like, as much as it's played for irony in game it was, to a pretty big extent, his responsibility as captain to make sure that his crew could coexist. And he SHOULD have done more to stop Jimmy. I'm not saying he's innocent, I'm saying that the assumption that he was a bystander to Jimmy's actions simply due to toxic masculinity influencing men to cover for one another is a little inaccurate. It's definitely the more important takeaway because being conscious of the dangers around you is important. It's just that seeing the specific ways he was abused by Jimmy and how he reacted to it makes me feel like it was less of a toxic masculinity thing and more of a Fawn response thing, because he DEFINITELY was a victim of Jimmy's abuse too. And I feel like that's a little important, both to show how men can abuse and manipulate one another and to show how abuse in general can make more than the abuser a danger to others (in the sense of people who are abused are less likely to speak out when they see other abuse, because they're used to it (speaking from experience, not being an asshole)). But I really don't want this leading people to baby Curly and excuse him from not sticking up for Anya more, cuz it's not an excuse, it's an explanation, a further development. He is still at fault for not doing more, but I this the reason he didn't do more isn't a toxic masculinity thing but an abuse victim thing
(Also it's interesting to see how Jimmy doesn't fuck with Swansea very much. I assume it's because he knows he can't topple Swansea, yet he's already toppled Curly and Anya so they're the easiest victims of his abuses. He knows Swansea would fight back, but he already has Curly wrapped around his little finger and Anya severely traumatized so he just focuses on them instead. Also this is in reference to the fact he doesn't try to go around Swansea and get into the Util/Cryopod room until he thinks Anya's hurt Curly. It's like he's afraid of Swansea, which he should be <3)
#mouthwashing#Mouthwashing Jimmy#Mouthwashing curly#this is mostly abojt curly tbh#it just bothered me that the abuse subtext was so quickly ignored#like the toxic masculinity/covering for other men thing is definitely the more pressing takeaway#but I think talking about the abuse is important too#maybe it's just that I relate to curly so I don't like how hard he's behind demonized but I'm trying to not let that cloud my judgement#but I really do think the abusive part of Jimmy and Curly's relationship explains a lot#this was kinda triggered by a post saying that everyone reacted with Flight/Fight/Freeze/Fawn and the post had attributed-#-fawn to Anya and Freeze to Curly#but I really feel like it's the other way around#cuz Anya made calculated decisions to kill up to Jimmy. it didn't seem like a trauma response#but Curly did it entirely subconsciously#Anya moreso just let him walk over her. which to me seems more like Freeze than Fawn#but I'm not a psychologist so don't take my word on that#I just feel this way cuz of how much I relate to curly. like the amount of traumas he went through that I did too is shocking#like I get why he's characterized in game the way he is. I see his thought process and reactions and feelings#don't ask who I am <3#captain Curly#typo in the tags#Anya tried to KISS UP to Jimmy not Kill up to Jimmy#also I hate how negative that phrase is#like I need a different phrase that doesn't blame the victim instead of ''kiss up to''

can't stop thinking about Ayame. he's such an outlier to the zodiacs in so many ways:
-the only (adult) zodiac member not living on Sohma grounds.
-the only zodiac member who genuinely likes themselves and actively practices self-love.
-the only zodiac member with a sibling in the zodiac.
-the only zodiac member Akito hasn't harmed either mentally or physically (because she can't stand him lmao).
all of it makes him feel weirdly isolated from the Sohma family's trauma and the story as a whole. he isn't under the Sohmas' thumb. he isn't bogged down by hatred or self-loathing. he's never experienced Akito's wrath the way the other zodiac members have.
and it's fascinating to think about how he must've had a completely different experience from the other zodiacs. when he was growing up, Akito hadn't hurt any of them - Shigure and Kureno both had immunity, Hatori never caused problems, and the rest of them were too young or too obedient. Ayame never hated himself, nor did he ever find himself alone and friendless. he moved far away from the Sohmas, started his own business to make his own money, and hasn't had them breathing down his neck in years. he has, for all intents and purposes, escaped the Sohma family and its mountains of trauma completely unscathed.
and you know. i wonder if that's something else Yuki hates about Ayame. that all of the zodiacs have a horror story about Akito - that Rin got thrown out a window and Hatori lost an eye and even little Kisa was beaten half to death, that Yuki himself had to endure years of intense isolation, psychotic episodes, and literal fucking torture at the hands of Akito -
and Ayame never got hurt.
not even once.
#i have a character analysis of ayame stewing in my drafts#he's the kind of character that makes me ramble like crazy#anyway i do wonder how much ayame knows about akito's reign of terror#bc it's possible shigure/hatori told him about drama in the main house#but it's also possible that they didn't#(either bc they were protecting him or bc they didn't think he'd care)#so like. how much does ayame know ab zodiac trauma at the hands of akito#he's literally never had to deal with akito in crazy mode#he might not know much ab yuki's time with her except maybe vaguely that it was Bad#does he understand what sort of shit yuki went through??? does he fully appreciate the EXTENT of it???#questions that keep me up at night#fruits basket#ayame sohma#yuki sohma#akito sohma#analysis#sage speaketh#edited for your convenience#(<-capitalized names and tweaked some wording)

One thing that irks me about the Gravity Falls fandom is how differently they treat Ford's canonical trauma to others'.. more.. hypothetical ones, I guess (by that I mean AUs and stuff). Like, as much as I love seeing role-reversal AUs, one of the things I noticed was how the characters who take Ford's role in the narrative often have their traumas taken more seriously by the fandom than Ford does, even though Ford went through the same thing canonically.
#I have no idea if I worded this comprehensibly enough.#Take those Stan goes through the portal AUs for example#I've seen people talk in length about how traumatic it would've been for him to go through the portal and stuff#but I don't see much people talking about the trauma Ford went through in the portal#even though he was the one who canonically got pushed through#or like#those evil Ford and good Bill AUs where Ford is the toxic one#or abusive for the matter#I've seen so many people talk about how Bill had it in that AU and#I don't see the same people doing that for Ford#even though he was the one abused in canon#no hate to those who create or love these AUs I do too#but I just get frustrated when I see other characters get more sympathy for a hypothetical situation they went through#than Ford who went through the same things in CANON#idk maybe im biased or something#just think of this as some sort of rant#gravity falls#stanford pines#ford pines#grunkle ford

there’s a horrible sickness in me that makes me want to stop and replay da:i whenever i start a different game. how am i supposed to resist the story of my own unwilling apotheosis? especially as lavellan, who doesn’t believe in the maker and who has every right to hate and mistrust the chantry but chooses to use what power they have to try save people, to fix what’s broken, no matter how afraid they are or how careful they have to be. walking side by side with the great trickster god/adversary of your people without knowing, befriending him, changing his mind about this world but ultimately not his choice. he understands what’s happening to you because it happened to him once and he gives you his castle, built over the place where he sundered the world, and paints your story there in frescos that will last long after you’re gone and after the story has been retold and reshaped so many times that the truth of who you are and what you did is lost—just as he did his own story, which was lost and perverted by war and propaganda, and he shows all of this to you knowing you’ll understand because you’ve lived through something similar, grown into something larger than yourself and your true name, and it doesn’t change anything but. he wanted you to see him just for a moment, even if he can’t tell you everything (or almost anything) and you can’t save him—because he owes it to you as a someone who is a friend, almost an equal, and because there’s no one else left who knows: a direct result of what he did to your people and which he now seeks to undo at the cost of this world.
#dragon age#solas#literally i am ILL#i love religious trauma and stifling hypocrisy and walking carefully so carefully through a place i don’t belong but i’ve chosen to be#and questioning everything and losing and discovering myself over and over#and accidentally becoming friends with my work colleagues#and most importantly dating an actual god who is just a nerdy little guy who keeps fucking everything up#he’s such a liar but he wants to badly to tell the truth but he can’t he won’t#yet he only really lies through omission and speaks carefully so as not to give himself away#ok and also he very much wanted the anchor and manipulated that whole situation#but he also shows you who he is and tells you a sliver of the truth#and he didn’t have to do that! but he chose to—he wants you to see him and on some level to save him from his path i think#also i debated sooo long about the phrasing ‘almost an equal’ because i think he does consider everyone as worthy of life & choice as him!#but ultimately he is making the decisions of a god whether or not he acknowledges himself as one#he is deciding for a whole world—so i think there’s some cognitive dissonance there#and i went with almost#i’m fr stalled out in the middle of bg3 like i miss solas i miss my work friends

IM CRYING I was rereading this part and I had totally forgotten just how much HC tries his best in the second flashback, im finding out just how many things I’d forgotten that he did in lil fire ball form (in my defense I finished the whole series in three days after the day before finishing SVSS so I had NOT slept lmao)
It makes so much sense why he later makes it one of his goals to be extremely powerful, imagine the trauma he must’ve gotten from this!
And the fact at this point he was like 15/17 and he was a ghost flame, a GHOST FLAME!! Trying to HIT BWX for hurting XL!!! Oh my god my child no 😭😭😭 HC makes me cry and raise my standards for love once again
#tgcf#hua cheng#hualian#like we don’t talk about his ghost flame era enough 😭#he tries so much to protect the one he loves :(#and bc he’s just died doesn’t have enough power until he goes trough ultimate trauma :(((#like the 100 sword scene being after this also adds to it!! bc he KEPT trying to protect XL and apart from being hurt for not being able to#he witnesses the most HORRIBLE thing the two of them ever went through :(#he must’ve thought it was his fault for not being strong enough sooner! like no my baby 🥺🥺🥺

having swap au thoughts. *slaps roof of claus* there's so much mental illness in this guy. im gonna blow up everyone in the room and then myself
#what if you felt unbearable guilt because your brother went missing in the two seconds you were separated#and you feel like there mustve been Something you couldve done to prevent it#if only you had stuck together. if only you hadnt let him tag along on your basically-a-suicide-mission in the first place#but none of those things happened so you go through three years blaming yourself#continuing to search for him because maybe hes still out there. and maybe exhausting yourself on an aimless search is a way you can atone#and then you're pulled into this big destiny adventure so your searching is put on the back burner#you're so busy doing important things and meeting new friends and there are points in your adventure where your heart feels lighter#and maybe you open up just a little about the crushing guilt you feel. and your new friends say it wasnt your fault#maybe you start accepting that your brother is really gone but you have to keep living your life#saving your brother was a far out dream but saving the world is something you have the power to do#so you try your best. so you dont fuck up this time#your guilt becomes the fuel keeping you going#and then at the end of your journey#you find out one of the biggest obstacles on your journey#the human chimera that you felt kinda horrified at and a little bad for even as you fought them#is your brother you've been mourning and agonizing over not being able to save#so um. The Guilt is even worse now#now he doesnt just feel responsible for his death. he Now feels responsible for him becoming this Creature Thing under porkys control#and in a lucas dies scenario. hoogh i cant imagine how claus would feel after that.......#however the thing that spurred this post was thinking about the lucas lives postgame scenario (it just got a bit out of hand lol) so.#your brother is alive and back home again and youre so unbelievably glad#but the guilt still creeps up every time you see how much hes Changed. physically and mentally#you had just started to accept the fact youd have to live without your brother but somehow having him back is almost just as painful#things cant just go back to how they were before. youll never be the exact same happy family as you used to be#its strange adjusting to having lucas back and its strange trying not to step on each others toes with their trauma#you cant help but be clingy because you couldnt bear it if he disappeared again under your watch#but nobody wants to be watched all the time especially when youre recovering from your brainwashed identity as an army commander#FUCK I REACHED THE TAG LIMIT I WANTED TO RAMBLE MORE AUGH. THEY MAKE ME SO ILL. i swear its not all angst theres some lightheartedness in it#mother 3 swap au#mothfics

if I think too hard about how the original evil dead trilogy all takes place in like. a weekend. i feel like throwing up
#LIKEEEE#i genuinely believe that ashs personally change from evil dead -> evil dead 2 -> army of darkness is a way to cope with the sheer trauma#because he lost his sister and girlfriend and best friends in an extremely gorey fashion and THEN had to go through it all again with a cut#off hand and THEN hes teleported back to the 1300s without knowing when or if he can go back home#he went through so much in the span of two days#no wonder why by ash vs evil dead he is nothing like evil dead 1 ash#hes irrevocably changed by his experiences and then had no one to talk about it for thirty yeads#*years#got chased out of his hometown and branded as a murderer#me posts#ash evil dead#evil dead#ash vs evil dead#army of darkness

Robin being Will's "queer mentor" this, Robin being a byler wingman that, what about Robin being such an useless wreck that when Will arrives looking for advice he's like damn girl you're even more fucked up by this than I am. What am i supposed to do now
#like obviously will went through so so much#and his trauma is explored at least a little bit unlike Robin's. like you can pretty much forget she was kidnapped drugged and tortured#but socially. i feel like robin is faring worse. like Will has friends#he has a mother and a brother who love him unconditionally + a new sister who thinks the world of him#he's not alone#meanwhile robin only has steve#her first close friend in yearssssss#she's only had it for 8 months and they're conveniently in love with the same girl (in my heart ronance is canon#my posts

With all due respect to the tribulations they faced, I don’t care if they went through a lot, once they had the power to, this characters pulled an awful move on people on a whim and that should be acknowledged.
#… Kind of Merope Gaunt and Celine Montclair#I just don’t like them. You can’t make me like them#(Maybe because their writers try so much to make me be like nooooo poor girls they just wanted love 🥹)#I do feel incredibly bad for all the abuse and trauma they were forced to endure through their abusive horrible families#But just for the record… Merope drugged a muggle with a potion had him have sex with her then was sad he didn’t like her when he woke#And Celine jumped immediately into this guy’s arms who had been separated from his wife by her bestie’s malicious intent#And thought she was a cuter wife than the previous one#Idk they are not… Not#Clarification Celine’s guy agreed (not happily but agreed) to abandon his wife at her worst moment and was a shitty guy#But Celine just went on a full on “okay so mine”
