hopeless time loop. the way out isnât to save everyone. the way out isnât to save even one person. the way out isnât to change anything. the way out is accepting how it happened the first time is how it always will be. thatâs how you acted, thatâs how they acted, thatâs how you would have acted every time if you werenât given the curse of hindsight. the way out is accepting you canât fix the past; you can only forgive yourself for it.
#there's this game i love called little hope that plays with these ideas (though not with a time loop)#i do love time loops narratives that explore how a person is confronted with their life and their choices#when forced to live the same day over and over again#and i LOVE time loops that try to reverse mistakes made and lives lost#but to see a character put themselves through loops upon loops upon loops#trying to rectify past mistakes (especially in the case where people died) only to be confronted with the reality it isn't working#and even in a loop where they save everyone the loop just resets#because the universe is essentially saying 'no that isn't how it happened and you know that's not how it happened'#it compels me!#i feel similarly about time travel where time 'fights back'#like this idea that there is a central timeline that time does not like being diverted from#so it will try to course correct itself#you save lincoln from an assassination only for him to die in a train crash#it's a cool way to confront the idea of fate#anyway all tragedies are hopeless time loops thank you for coming to my ted talk#a shout into the void#1k#5k#10k

"the man we idolised turned out to be a bad person, but it's okay, this other man hasn't fucked up yet so we can just idolise him twice as hard!"
Do you people not see the problem
#this is about#neil gaiman#and the way people just immediately started to worship tennant&sheen twice as much#instead of maybe thinking for a moment and realising that the problem with parasocial relationship is not that it was with the wrong person#i'm not saying that sheen or tennant will 100% fuck up just as badly and i sure hope they won't#but regardless of how nice someone actually might be you shouldn't extend so much adoration and trust to a person you don't even know#even if their public image is nice and their works are great. you just should never worship real people. because it's bad for you#thank you for coming to my ted talk

You are everything I aspire to be
If parenting has taught me anything, it is the importance of getting down on your hands and knees and teaching not just facts, but love and enthusiasm for the natural world.
This is my son Q and me. I have dozens of photos like this by now, even though he is just two years old.
Every chance I get, I will kneel down with him and show him the little creatures all around us. Especially when they are frogs. He loves frogs for some reason. No idea why.
It is important that we all see this together. It is beautiful. It is magnificent. We are here. It is improbable to the highest degree. It is fleeting, but it is everything we get. And we can get so, so much of it. If we just get our faces into it and really absorb it.
So that's what l'm trying to do here, I guess. Get all of you to join me in the reeds. And I am so happy to have so many of you along for the journey.
#tumblr#lifestyle#advice#life#nature#animals#answers by mark#anon#anonymous#yes the tumblr scientist named his child Q what of it#also you should not aspire to be me#or like me#at all#I am a hot mess#totally chaotic and extremely stressed#months behind on my emails#and badly overcommitted#but of course when all you see are cute frogs I understand why you would feel that way anon#just letting you know that I am struggling just as much as the next person#though of course as a very privileged person it is substantially different than most#my troubles are largely of my own making#anyway thanks for coming to my TED talk

doorkeay angst yippee!
tfw your pathetic little boycrush who has not a single ally in the world gets consumed by the spiral i think if they had a pre-existing relationship and gerard then met michael distortion he would hate the way it wears his skin anyway enjoy i know i sure did
#it also drives me personally to insane city the way that the spiral preserves michael shelley's laugh its so insidious#if gerry and michael met pre 2009 i think they would've saved eachother welcome to my ted talk#doorkeay#gerry keay#gerard keay#michael shelley#michael distortion#the magnus archives#tma podcast#tma#magpod

personally i saw chim's comments to gerrard as him sticking up for the 118 past and present, including both buck and tommy as well as hen, but primarily for himself ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
#911 shit#shut up giallos#thank you for coming to my ted talk#chimney han#[britney voice] yeah#i did see some discourse that prompted this post#but mostly i made this post bc i didn't think 'he did it for tommy and/or bucktommy'#and 'he didn't do it for anyone but himself' really hit what i personally felt was the reason he did it#which was that he stood up to gerrard for the 118 as a wholeâ past and present (and future)#911 spoilers#text#exQUEUEse me

What do you usually draw? Just what everyone else draws. Why did you draw me? I always draw people like you. Agrippa. Look, he's just as fierce-looking as you. THE TIME OF FEVER (2024)

My favorite past time is reminding people that Percy's fatal flaw being "excessive loyalty" would make him 10 times scarier if he truly turned "dark". Letting them know that Percy would do things that make what Luke did look absolutely harmless. That if anyone were to hurt someone that he considers a loved one or friend, that Percy "I wanted to see just how much missery missery could take" Jackson would probably torture them and put them through hell that would make Tartarus look like a cake walk. That with his powers he could easily become scarier and more intimidating than any monster or god in existence.
That if you thought Luke was any type of monster, then Percy would be 50 times worse.
#because people like to not remember how most of the messed up things that âLukeâ did was actually kronos or his brainwashing#and that a Luke that hadn't been manipulated by Kronos wouldn't have done like 80% of the things that he ended up doing#and percy?#it's been shown multiple times that he has a major dark side#and how dangerous he could be#and a dangerous person who values loyalty above all is one of the scariest people#percy jackson#luke castellan#pjoverse#pjo#percy jackon and the olympians#thank you for coming to my ted talk

Ok class repeat after me:
It's ok to like evil and "problematic" characters.
They're not real, they haven't hurt anyone
Their victims are not real either, nobody is hurt
They're merely a vehicle for storytelling and entertainment
There is no need to tear other characters down to justify their actions
They're not you. Them being wrong or bad is not you being wrong or bad
There is no need to make up arbitrary rules and moral codes to justify your taste in fiction
Their fictional actions and morals have nothing to do with the real actions and morals of real people
The only hurt parties are the people affected by your negative and aggressive behavior
#on villains#fiction#fandom#fandom problems#fandom wankery#the difference between reality and fiction is normally something kids learn but alas...#yes this is going both ways for villain fans who will defend everything and anything and tear everyone else down#and the purity police who thinks liking an evil character makes you an evil person#rant over#thank you for coming to my ted talk
