my friend showed me some ivantill art earlier that really made it click for me that like. dude. round 6 was the good ending, as tragic as it was. or at least it was supposed to lead up to the good ending. whatever it might've awakened in him afterwards, TILL NOT RECIPROCATING in that moment was super important. and ivan's final decision was as much about till as it was about himself; it was both the only way to ensure that till kept moving AND a violent, blatantly honest act of self-expression for ivan, one that he's been waiting desperately to let out. this was supposed to be a consequence-free dramatic finale for both of them because ivan was SOOO SURE that this wouldn't affect till the same way he always knew sua's death would affect mizi.

because can you IMAGINE? if till HADN'T tried pushing him away??? can you imagine if this immediately gave him sparks and made him return ivan's feelings?????? it would've been horror!!!!!!!! it would've made everything ivan has done up until this point meaningless! all the times he had to physically and emotionally restrain himself for till's sake! how the hell would ivan react in that situation? it would already be too late!! because they would still be facing each other in the competition and one of them would still have to watch the other die!!!!! and that would probably have made things EVEN WORSE in the final round, regardless of who survived!!!!!!!!!!!

CONCLUSION: ivan was always right about everything ever EXCEPT for the fact that till very much cared about him, a misunderstanding that falls on both of them for lack of communication in the end. but also luka is a little bitch. godspeed. i feel ill

i actually literally cannot fathom why so many people are always up in arms about not seeing dazai and chuuya for several chapters. i love them and would consider both of them to be in my top favorite bsd characters, but not once since the pov switched back to yokohama have i ever been upset that we're not seeing what's happening with them right now. i don't think it's necessary to go back to them at the moment; they're not the focus right now. it is absolutely baffling to me that so many people are genuinely angry over the pov being with the main character for several chapters in a row. you guys don't care about a good story; you just want fanservice.

This might be a controversial take, but l don't think Eve deserves or should get a redemption arc.

HANNIBAL (2013-2015) — SEASON ONE

Killing must feel good to God, too. He does it all the time, and are we not created in God's image? Depends on who you ask. God's terrific. He dropped a church roof on thirty-four of his worshipers last Wednesday night in Texas, while they sang a hymn. Did God feel good about that? He felt powerful.

Happy Bi Visibility Day 2024!

Happy Bi Visibility Day! We’re celebrating as we do, with great books helmed by bisexual main characters! With absolutely no consistency, I’ve bolded the names of some of the bi MCs who aren’t called out as such in the copy. For even more recs, check out past years’ posts! Middle Grade Lulu Sinagtala and the City of Noble Warriors by Gail D. Villanueva Lulu Sinagtala can’t wait for a fun…

Belief in freedom of will is a primary error committed by everything organic, as old as the impulse to the logical itself; belief in unconditioned substances and in identical things is likewise a primary, ancient error committed by everything organic. Insofar, however, as all metaphysics has had principally to do with substance and freedom of will, one may designate it the science that treats of the fundamental errors of mankind — but does so as though they were fundamental truths.

My post about Anya is making like a little ruckus on Twitter and I think it’s crazy how many people like have a problem with it.

Like you don’t have to agree with how I characterize Anya and her actions but it’s more like, why are you focused on only one aspect of her character? Why are you removing nuance from the situation? I don’t see it as giving Curly the benefit of the doubt when it comes to doing better for Anya, but as exploring his character and hers relationship with a the very little authentic facts we get about them. In truth, there’s a lot more I wish Curly did, even if it wasn’t pragmatic but I realize the issue there.

The first psychological horror game in a while that’s real intricate in its storytelling and makes you need to really need to address the morality of intentions and its already getting torn asunder smh 😔

I wonder how many arguments a week Lois "the truth at all costs" Lane and Clark "fabricates interviews with himself" Kent had about journalism and the inherent issue of being someone that uncovers the truth while purposefully deceiving people. About the ways that "truth, justice, and the American way" representative Superman violates the rules and ethics regarding evidence, hearsay, bias in the news, and anonymous sources.

Or how many times Clark has tried to get her to bury a story (a few times at least canonically), and Lois had to consider it because he told her the fate of the world relied on it, or that it maximized public good.

we care for demons and the fallen just as much as we care for the purest of angels. you may not be our flesh and blood but you are still our children; let us clothe and feed you. we will not cast you to the fire as another would

The idea that Tiwa is Ran's ex makes total sense because this woman clearly has a thing for rebels who are ready to defy anyone to bring truth/justice and put their own career at risk in the process

here's a hot take for today

the narrative function of sex is the same as the narrative function of fight scenes is the same as the narrative function of songs in a musical

no i will not explain

rating h2o award show outfits!

h2o was won several awards and been nominated for quite a few. let’s take a stroll down memory lane and discuss the fashion of the time!

ok disclaimer. these are just my opinions!! you can have different ones. it’s cool.

🐬 2007 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards

It’s hip it’s fresh it’s not too serious. I like all the makeup but especially Claire’s, it’s really working with the hairstyle. the patterns are horrendous but I appreciate the color now compared to what we see down the line.

Overall it’s a 5/10

🐬 2008 AFI Awards

a very iconic award show! i love phoebe’s dress + matching jewelry. the necklace and bracelet look like pearls, so it’s on brand for the show she’s nominated for. i don’t like cariba’s dress. the cut is awkward as well as the belt, and i don’t love the shade of purple. brittney’s is ok but the handbag not matching is killing me. angus’ is… well it’s a suit! he looks good and also like every other man at an awards show. Indiana is serving that ceasar flickerman hair flawlessly.

6.8/10 the uncoordination and cariba’s dress lower this score for me

🐬2008 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards

oh dear god. what is going on here?? I’ve been trying to figure it out for years. Did they not have stylists at this point? I don’t understand the gray at alllll. The weird ruffles/rouching, if you can even call it that, repulses me. hate the medieval times ass belt. The outfits are so ugly they make the hairstyles look good. And I’ve never liked the makeup either, I just feel like it doesn’t suit them at all. ALSO THE SHOES?? WHAT. I’ve just noticed phoebes chunky bracelets too..

1/10 because I struggle to find anything good to say about these looks

🐬 2009 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards

Cariba’s outfit reminds me of that twink dog from barbie in a fashion fairytale. Anyways it really missed the mark. The weird shoulders and denim shorts are not it. I feel like the bow could be cute with a dress? Idk but none of her looks hit.

Angus is casual, I feel like this outfit would do numbers on early 10s tumblr.

Jaime’s is also just too casual

4/10 just doesn’t feel like award show outfits

I’ll be reblogging this post with part two !!

ok ingo this time i GET you
