I hate letting shitty people take up real estate in my brain, but sometimes the bastards refuse to leave.

#thinking once again about the dude i met on a dating app #who went on a red flag speed run for 2 weeks #before deciding that i was too much trouble and he was still in love with his ex #and informing me that i needed to accept that in my position a relationship was a pipe dream #but also we could totally still be fuck buddies if i was up for it #like #i am very aware that schmuck is not worth the mental energy #but the gall to be like 'oh yeah all my free time is devoted to my kids and my ex-wife that i am not in any way over'#'but your familial responsibilities and lack of a car means you're the problem'#'and also means you should accept you'll never find anyone who'll like you enough to make any compromise for your situation'#'anyway wanna watch me jerk off?'#like jesus christ dude #thoughts and prayers for your ex #also the same guy who declared being lonely surely did not bother me as much as him bc by now i was 'used to it'#no great loss #but for about a day and a half it was nice to think a reasonably attractive guy would be interested in me #but y'know #pipe dream right?

Is it just me, or are people way overstating the bleakness of the MHA ending?

Izuku is quirkless again. It makes perfect sense that he'd teach at UA. There's absolutely nothing to suggest he's lost touch with anyone. But it's been 8 years and people are getting on with their lives. That's normal.

Yeah, it would've been nice to see some payoff on ships and such. But I'm seeing folks acting like everyone just abandoned Izuku, and that he was owed an explicit relationship with Ochaco. Some of it's extremely gross.

Stop it.

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intent to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

#this is about tenko bnha #but it is also about dahlia ace attorney #watch the nezumiVA videos on ace attorney trilogy they're great #anyway dahlia saying she (at like. 6 years old) apparently convinced her father to abandon her sister. hmmm #also everyone including herself thinking of her as the manipulator in control with terry when she was 14 dating a 20 y/o #anyway these characters both did do terrible things but feel the need to pile on more and remove nuance from where it exists #to convince themselves that this is what they really want. that they chose this.#it's about the loss of control it's about being a victim feeling worse than being a villain #at least if you were the bad guy you had autonomy #shimura tenko #shigaraki tomura #dahlia hawthorne

Really fucked up that, when they’re young, Patrick and Art are SO tactile with each other, so comfortable sharing the same space. Art lets Patrick touch him and move him and physically overwhelm him and easily acquiesces to it, if not outright enjoys it.

Then in the present, they’ve been so far out of each other’s orbit for so long, held such animosity that when they have their moment alone in the sauna, Art physically recoils from Patrick’s close proximity! It’s so painful to watch because even as Patrick’s goading him, it’s so obvious he wants to be able to get back into Art’s space. But Art has erected all these walls around himself, he refuses to give Patrick an inch or even admit to missing how close they used to be!

AND THEN we see Art and Tashi later and he wants her to hold him, to be gentle with him, and just TOUCH him. Like, he does miss that kind of close physical contact! He either doesn’t know how to ask for it or is uncomfortable being that openly vulnerable. Worth noting that he pretty much always defers to Tashi in regard to initiating physical intimacy (with their first kiss, though he does state his desire, SHE has to be the one to make the first move). And it seems pretty obvious that Tashi herself isn’t comfortable providing that intimacy, whereas Patrick actively seeks to provide it (the hug/forehead kiss after their win together in the early years, dragging the stool closer to him).

Art has tried very hard to act like he doesn’t need physical affection and even though his discipline and devotion to Tashi has made him a stronger tennis player, it’s made him a hollow person, which, in turn, has kept him from becoming a GREAT tennis player.

All of this, of course, is why the ending hits so damn hard.

#challengers #challengers spoilers #art donaldson #unfortunately i have once again zeroed in on the most repressed character and made them my favorite #lol @ all the people saying he’s a manipulative snake: that’s part of what makes him great!#i think a fair amount of that manipulation or attempts at it come from a fear of loss and being alone #if he has to lose one to keep the other he’ll do it because it’s better than being left behind #hoo boy yet another character trait my fucked up faves have in common 😬#let’s not even get into how tashi AND patrick are trying to do right by him #tashi by making it so he can retire with a career to be proud of #patrick (who was pissed on art’s behalf wrt throwing the match) by laying all his cards on the table (court)#and giving art what he needed to play a great fucking game #there’s a whole other post to be written about how tashi and patrick handle art in similar ways #specifically that he submits to them so easily they take charge of him manipulate him the ways they want #good lord i need to see this movie again #or not might not be conducive to keeping my brain from melting out my ears lol
