#obviously it’s not supposed to be realistic

[thebaldursmouthgazette]

I think it’s really funny how people are acting like rook is depicted as a saintly paragon of virtue more good than anyone could ever realistically be because like

They’re not. They’re just a well intentioned person who genuinely tries to do their best. That’s all.

And that compared with Solas is a wide fucking gap. Rook is clearly a miles better person than solas. And the point of that is supposed to be that for all his posturing Solas is so far from being a good person with good intentions that someone like rook is so obviously a better person

But, as I’ve already mentioned in other posts, people are refusing to engage with Solas’ actual characterisation and are trying to force their own characterisation, where he’s a good person who’s just made a couple of mistakes ignore the genocide, into the narrative instead. So if solas is a good and well intentioned person, and rook is obviously miles better than him, then rook must be an impossibly good and saintly paragon of virtue.

When actually Solas is a pretty bad person (the having committed genocide is a bit of a giveaway) and rook is like. Bare minimum. Okay maybe above the bare minimum because they are leading the organisation trying to save the world. But like. Not particularly special on that front. Just someone who’s got good intentions and is genuinely thinking their actions through and trying their best. The whole point is THAT is miles better than solas.

it’s really sad that i always looked forward to rhaenyra and/or alicent scenes last season but i now feel the urge to fast forward every time one of them comes on screen

- every alicent scene is her looking sad or crying or her with cole but nothing she does adds anything of value to the plot

- we get the same black council scene in which the men are undermining rhaenyra twice per episode and still nothing is done (i do believe she will make some progress in the next episodes but it’s just so boring to watch her have the same scene over and over again)

cersei and dany i miss you both so much

people who characterize marcille as ‘oh that lesbian elf motivated so much by how she wants to bang her s/o’ literally don’t get it. a marcille who KNOWS shes a lesbian would be on a whole ‘nother level of “annoying about it.” insert joke about gay being a characters only trait level annoying. she still writes off her gay shit as gender envy, protectiveness, or solidarity. once she realizes , its all over. shes going to be getting into harmful intra/ter-community discourse on twitter before collapsing into a years-long disillusionment wreckage as all her online buddies either go entirely transmisogynistic or end up overcorrecting and becoming a different kinda queerscourse radical. she even takes the word ‘lesbian’ out of all her urls :-(. not because she isn’t one or its bad but bc its a painful reminder of a sense of pride that now exists only in memory. and eventually she changes it to FALINSC-💥

I am so fucking sick of living with my roommate and his fuck ass boyfriend. Also watching my roommate burn every single one of his (already rather minimal, I might add) bridges for this guy is also kind of painful but also his relationship with me is one of said bridges so I'm almost past the point of even feeling bad for him lmao

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re very young and aren’t deliberating spreading misinformation about how the US branches of government work. The president does not have ANY say in Supreme Court decisions. The president belongs to the executive branch of government. The Supreme Court belongs to the judicial branch. The only influence the executive branch has on the Supreme Court is if/when the president gets the opportunity to appoint a new justice, which only occurs when a current justice dies or steps down. Those appointments from the president’s office need Senate approval before a justice can be confirmed to the court.

The US currently has a conservative majority on the court: there are nine justices total with six being conservative — three of them were appointed by Trump due to vacancies that occurred during his administration* (technically one vacancy occurred under Obama, but the conservative-majority Senate at that time blocked his nominees until he left office, meaning Trump was in a position to fill that vacancy. Hm, almost as though voting does in fact matter because of how our branches of government are designed, and Democratic presidents alone can’t achieve unilateral change!).

I understand the frustration with the state of the country right now, but acting like Biden is a king with unprecedented power over the judicial and legislative branches is dangerously out of touch with the reality of how this country works. Although ironically, Trump and his allies plan to redistribute power into the executive branch when he takes office by minimizing the power of the legislative and judicial branches (see Project 2025). If Project 2025 comes to fruition, the executive branch WOULD have king-like power, which is what The US Constitution was written to avoid. I recommend learning about the limits and parameters of presidential power before you “voting is useless” your way into handing absolute power to Trump.

im not gonna respond to very much of this, except to say that i'm almost certainly older than you, and also it's funny for you to be like "Biden isnt a king and doesnt have absolute power, there's nothing he can do about the supreme court. but Trump will have absolute power". which one is it? is the president important or not? also, you people all say that the democrats will be better than the republicans. where's the proof of that? what have they done for anyone? commit genocide?

MASSIVE SPOILERS for Chapter 6 of the fanfic There Is Thunder In Our Hearts, Baby by @kaossbells!

🌀 Child of the Wind:

Eeeeeeee! I turned this scene into a mini comic!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

There was just so much to unpack from this moment. I was stuck on what to do for a long time, wondering which bit I should draw. Then I had the genius idea of turning it into a comic book styled format.

What do you think? 😊
