Dan has seen Phil basically everyday for 14 years and still looks at him like he has a secret giddy crush and it makes me feel insane

gentlemanliness leaves the man's body when he stops masking as a noble or royalty and sees an opportunity to match the other person's freak /j

In my opinion, the fandom demands too much from Tattoo compared to the rest of the characters.

He didn't want to help Jack or the debtors in the first place, his priorities were his mother, his best friend and himself, which is fair. Of course, it wasn't right for him to try to involve an innocent person in this mess, but I think it's important to highlight he was not acting out of malice but out of desperation. He didn't know Joke prior to their "ring heist", not on a personal level, and currently he doesn't know much about him either while Joke knows all about his life situation.

Tattoo stole something he shouldn't have from the rich in order to escape the nightmare he's been living in because of them (the threats, the beating, the never-ending pressure), he put Joke in the spotlight but he couldn't avoid getting caught. Now, the same people that have been disturbing him nonstop want his help returning the necklace he stole to get rid of them, they convince him through another beating that includes Hoy and, potentially, his mother. Who wouldn't want to escape? Why feel like he owes them something? By making these types of decisions he may end up in greater danger than at the start, but he is not able to think of another solution and does not want to suffer anymore. Joke understands this, that's why he forgives him over and over again, he is familiar with the feeling of being trapped no matter what you do.

I get Hoy's point of view, I also value qualities such as honesty and loyalty, and I'm not trying to defend everything Tattoo has ever done and will do, but I think there's little discussion about his motivations although the series focuses on disadvantaged environments and the consequences of living in poverty.

I rarely see characters like Aran or Hope being held accountable even though their actions / intentions / motivations are immoral or, at least, questionable. People seem to like them because they are handsome and violent and confident, but they have not yet shown redeemable qualities.

There really is something terrifying and yet beautiful about how Darius's love of dinosaurs was quickly surpassed by his love for his friends and found family.

The revelation that as soon as one dinosaur killed one of his fellow campers, he was done with them? After they'd put their trust in him? Whether he was in love with them or not? That was all it took, one death? One loss? And it was Over? Even the keepsake he shared with his father was cast aside, because the thought of loving something that had brought so much harm was too much? Even with all of his knowledge, the weapon that kept his friends alive, that an animal is just doing what an animal does, he still vilified them and pushed all of that aside?

That is such beautiful, terrifying Character Growth.

i have grown kinda tired of all the studio ghibli and totk comparisons bc i love most of miyazakis movies and its so annoyingly obvious that if totk actually took inspiration from them its all just the surface level aesthetic and none of the good story telling

sometimes i think about the way sunday is 100% fine with doing fucked up things as long as he thinks the people he’s doing those things to deserve them

I really hope that in season 2 something comes out of the daemon choking rhaenyra scene, i really really hope that the show doesn't treat it like he made a little oopsi, like it's an unsignificant, tiny moment of anger that almost means nothing and that i should move past it..

Also I hope that the writers know that i wrote off the idea that aegon could ever be sympathic the second we were told he raped someone. I hope rape isn't supposed to be one of his character quirks. I hope.

i wouldn't be afraid of this happening in another story but with this shows/this worlds track record of making men do evil shit and then moving on like it didn't happen, especially since daemon is the one who delivered the news of lucerys' death, i worry, alot.

i think it's important btw to note- at the beginning of tubbo's stream (relatively) he and bad discussed which single parents were on green team and in turn, discussed who was going to save which egg if it came down to it. they're not leaving any eggs behind! i don't think any team would!

I accidentally got my mom to watch ninjago season 8 and 9, I was just watching it on the TV and then she began asking questions and she's like "I mean I would never weatch this seriously" and she goes back to her solitaire or wtv, 3 minutes later I hear her gasp and I look over and see her watching the tv like it's the most interesting thing ever.

[sacriou]

She’s a hypocrite but I love her so it’s ok. (Referring to sylv)

I just finished a book that dealt heavily with the idea of returning to one's abuser and of course I cannot consume unrelated media without immediately inserting Cazador into it somehow. And the theme I liked the most was that of feeling lost, feeling without purpose, feeling like your abuser gives your life meaning and how it can be unbelievably difficult to build a life untethered from one's abuse to the point where you seek it out anywhere you can - through a reenactment, through returning to the place where it took place, through returning to the person/people who did it, through looking for someone who reminds you of them, through searching for a replacement/reenactment subconsciously - looking to expirience it again without even realising what you're doing.

And it's just so Vellicaz to me. Because Vellioth IS Cazador's life. From the moment he was turned - and possibly/probably even before that - Vellioth was his everything. Vellioth literally gave him a new life. Vellioth was his literal reason for being 'alive'. Vellioth taught him everything, moulded him over the course of at least decades into the exact right shape.

The only options for how Cazador could have turned out were Vellioth or dead. Without people intervening (ala tav/the companions with Astarion) there is absolutely no way Cazador could have been anything else. There's nothing else that he knew how to be, and if he had tried, I think he'd have been miserable. At least at first, for quite a while, and I don't think he'd have been able to stay away without other people keeping him away. Vellicaz is very till death do us part and both of them know it, but only Vellioth wants to recognize it.

Cazador likes to think he's free, that Vellioth doesn't have any hold over him anymore, that if he had escaped from Vellioth, he wouldn't have come crawling back. But I think somewhere, deep deep deep deep down, he knows that's a lie. Because Vellioth gave him everything he has, and he is nothing without Vellioth.

Me normally: Let people love what they love

Me, after a Test Match Special commentator expresses their belief that the new All Creatures Great and Small is somehow "better" than the 1978 version: This is pure insanity and TMS can no longer be trusted on anything, how can they even be trusted to know about cricket, do they have no TASTE

Got to Floor 71 of Bloody Palace with Nero tonight. GodDAMN I hate the Fury fights. The triple Fury one is so stressful... I barely survived, but I did, so tomorrow I'll probably keep going to see how far I can get. (I suspended after beating floor 70, so this run's still going.)

Not sure if I'll be able to beat Malphas even if I make it to level 80 (I think she's the level 80 boss and Cerberus is 90?) But we'll see. I'm pretty sure I SDT cheese'd the Triple Fury fight when I did it with Dante, and used it to help avoid Malphas' Super Chicken Rampage too. Man I hate the Malphas' Super Chicken Rampage. I'm so bad at dodging out of it when playing as Nero in Mission 15 anyway. Fighting Cavaliere Angelo with Nero was a lot of fun though. Would do it again!

i'm afraid that there's Never gonna be a concentrated effort to get the nazis off of tumbler dot com, bc no one knows what a nazi (or neo-nazi, for that matter) actually is! additionally, no one knows what nazi rhetoric even is, not when it's passes the "Uses Progressive Language" test, bc using the Good Words™ is all you need to let extremely racist messages fly under the nazi-detecting radar. god forbid anyone look in the mirror and ask "am I the bad guy??" and get their shit together.

this website: "hey staff !! >:((( when are you gonna get rid of all the nazis?!?!"
