What if I were an angel and you were a demon and we loved eachother so much it changed everything??

I simply think this fandom doesn't give Wei Wuxian enough credit for the various ways in which he saved Lan Wangji

I’ve thought this since 2021 but I never said it because it disagreed with the fanon but the general agreement that c!Ranboo was a spineless person with no moral backbone who fell to peer pressure frequently was incredibly false. Way too many people thought this and they probably still do but it’s so wrong. c!Ranboo made mistakes but he absolutely did not "lack a backbone".

I’d say he was the opposite of spineless actually he’s very stubborn. Specifically after he gets outed as a traitor by c!Dream, if he was spineless he would have shut up after being outed and started collecting resources like he was asked to. If he had no moral backbone he wouldn't have been a traitor to begin with because he would have followed the morals of his country instead of his own and stayed in his lane. Instead he goes on a massive rant to everyone that would listen about how they all suck for picking sides and chasing power.

c!Ranboo lets people think he is spineless, tells himself that he falls to peer pressure easily so that he doesn’t have to confront the fact he’s doing all of this consciously. It’s far easier to say "Technoblade peer pressured me into giving his armour back" than to admit he admires Technoblade for his loyalty and his independence and wanted to help him. Easier than admitting that the butcher army he was made a part of was wrong. That his country and its cabinet were wrong.

Ranboo wasn’t a traitor because he didn’t have morals, he was a traitor because he did have morals and he stuck to them. They might have changed over time, but that change didn’t happen because someone told him too and he was easily swayed like people seemed to think.

me, dean, and everyone else watching: ok sure, sammy

spencer saw brennan and luis as evandrin and zerxes in exu calamity and decided not to sit them together bc would have been devastating and you know what? he was RIGHT

if I had seen marion burying his face into sean's chest and sean brushing his thumb along marion's cheek so tenderly i would have fucking DIED

[chiimeramanticore]

you guys are choosing what ships/media you enjoy based entirely on the genders/sexualities of the characters and not the quality of the actual content? that's not a joke?

6, 11, and 19- UHHHHHH any of them that vibes these questions! <:"Dc

afternoon lori!! thank you for the ask :D

6. Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?

Caine-

taking advice: chen. without a doubt its chen. caine would question him or argue if they dont understand why hes giving the advice he does, but at the end of the day, he trusts that chen has his reasons, and that those reasons make sense.

refusing advice: hmmm,,, significantly harder to answer tbh. caine is pretty accepting of a lot of avenues of information. maybe hollow ground? so far hes been extremely suspicious of the kingpin, Especially after almost getting threaded. either that or regina, but would she even survive long enough to give them advice???? shes the only person so far they actually want revenge against.

Cyrus-

taking advice: anathema. too bad hes dead. nobody to stop cyrus now.

refusing advice: id say chen, purely for "fuck him, he wouldnt piss on me if i was burning" reasons. hed be way too suspicious of any 'advice' chen gives to act on it.

Cecilia-

taking advice: ceci doesnt exactly do advice. more like suggestions. most of them come from ortega, not because she particularly trusts him but because most of his suggestions tend to be fun. ofc she also turned down therapy so like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

refusing advice: daniel. for extremely petty reasons. even deciding to stay at his place was an idea she came up with, not him. danny has no Idea how much of a pain shes going to be now that theyre rooming together.

Cynthia-

taking advice: hollow ground. #justthreadedtingz😍🤪

refusing advice: the funny thing about cynthia is that she cares for the people shes close to, she just doesnt trust them, so this applies to a lot of people. definitely ortega because thats probably the messiest divorce i ever did see, but also dr mortum, because she doesnt think she would understand the situation shes in enough to give advice even if their relationship Doesnt completely fall apart when the puppet thing is revealed.

11. They’ve won the lottery. Spend, or save?

Caine- nothing really to spend it on. save, unless theres something he really wants to get his hands on.

Cyrus- could be useful in the future. save.

Cecilia- depends, does she still have her funds from thievery? if no, spend. if yes, pretend to spend it by showing off things she already owns to throw people off her track, then save it. or spend if theres something mundane she wants.

Cynthia- doesnt really like having big sums of money lying around. spend it on villain work.

19. Do they study before tests? Practice before job interviews?

Caine- i mean. does going into a rabbit hole of tangentially relevant information a week before count? not for job interviews though. they couldnt care enough about that.

Cyrus- duh. hes the person somebody would go to if they need notes or extra tutoring.

Cecilia- no, but if she cared about tests enough shed be a top student, and she usually manages to fly by on job interviews because shes pretty charming.

Cynthia- yes, but for school its because the subjects are interesting to her, while the job interview is for general "i want to get the job" reasons.

questions from here!

Nothing nothing nothing nothing NOTHING in this world is permanent. The joy won't last, but neither will the sorrow!! The grief will come and go in waves, will you flow with it or fight it? Will you feel it and move with it or will you fight it until you collapse and drown. Nothing nothing nothing is permanent. Your life truly is yours to change.

[desiredcrescent]

Bad Batch Spoilers:

I didn’t think there would be any circumstances in which I would be totally on-board with a Crosshair redemption arc, but dangit Mr. Felony has done it again.

BUT I think it’s important to point out that this is only the beginning of a redemption arc—while he’s come to recognize the cruelty of the Empire and how it sees Clones as expendable and defunct, he is still going to have to deal with the consequences with his own actions, and contend with the fact that even if he was acting under orders, unlike the rest of the Clones, he had full autonomy. His status as a “cog in the machine” doesn’t excuse him from the evil he’s done, he bears that responsibility, and it’s going to be fascinating to watch him grapple with that over the rest of the season (granted, given that he’s able to, as the circumstances in which he finds himself at the end of the episode look very concerning. It’s Mt. Tantiss, and given Tantiss’s EU track record I am VERY worried.)

Every once in a while I'd get a tiktok so dumb and sit there for 15 minutes replying to to 10-20 comments and point out something so obvious and not that hard to grasp and people still act so fucking dumb.

Like what the fuck do you mean you don't understand how terribly queer people get treated in middle eastern countries.

Why are you so upset over the words "pregnant people"

Like how can you be this thick and heartless??!

[denkies]

The way Teruko talks is SOO chuuni. I hope she gets more development in the manga so I can like her, bc she's funny as hell
