It's weird how in the past 5 or so years the left's understanding of decolonization devolved into some kind of weird Nazi era eugenicist thing about how people's "true places" are something encoded in their DNA and no one in the history of the world should have moved anywhere and anyone decendent from people who moved at some point should be shot.
#gingerswagfreckles#if anyond tries to say this is an exaggeration btw i WILL rip your head off#as if it isnt a major talking point on the left that it's ok to kill israelis because their skin cancer rates prove#they're in the Wrong Place regardless of how many hundreds of years their family has lived there#jumblr#antisemitism#leftist antisemitism#and yeah yeah i know that jews are indigenous to the levant i am making a slightly adjacent point#about the extremely weird opinion the left has that if one is not indigenous to an area it is acceptable to Literally Kill Them#regardless of how either they or their ancestors arrived in that area. regardless of how the answer for 99% of those non indigenous people#is just oh i moved here from my mother's vagina#also ofc we have the whole issue of this being selectively applied to the western world while imperialism and colonialism Doesnt Count#outside of the west#but i digress

I'm not the kind of person that's like "Here let me fix the canon" usually but like holy crap gen 5 implied a lot of messed up shit about our hero Twilight Sparkle lmao
#It almost says something about the dangers of undertakin responsabilities alone#the nuanced idea of putting heroes on a pedestal being inherently self destructive#hell its kind of funny that Sunny idolizing her is objectively wrong#her legacy was a house of cards!#but I digress#I hope this post isnt swinging a bat at a hornet's nest#but y'know#this is also related to my fics lmao#bc of course#twilight sparkle#sunset shimmer#gen 4#gen 5#pony posting#mlp gen 4#my little pony#friendship is magic#Also like. Celestia herslef regretted banishing luna#and shes happier ruling WITH a partner#meanwhile twilight is like “Ok im not even on my thirties time to undertake all of this”#bonkers! Nuts!#its almost like. entirely accurate#entirely purposefull that her rule would fail completely#Wouldn't it be fucking sick for sunset to try again#to give it another shot!!!#now that shes better#changed for the better by none other than twi#i wrote fics of this lmaooo#fanfiction#writing stuff

caleb, who planned something grand for when he proposes to you but instead decides to pop the question after your nightly walk.
you point to the stars in the sky and say, "that one's just like you. it's the brightest of them all," and god, he's just so in love, and you seem so much brighter than a star could ever be. you lower your head, changing your view from the nightsky to caleb and he's looking at you with so much love and devotion in his gaze.
in a voice, much more quiet and vulnerable than you've ever heard him use, he decides against asking a question, but rather says it like a fact established by the universe itself.
"marry me."
🍎 — fic coming later today!
#⋆ pomme rambles#to the fic drafts you go#also did you guys listen to ten's comeback#yaba daba whatcha doing whom have u been talking to#such a good song#ok i digress CALEB LOVERBOY#he asked you to be his partner in a similar fashion#he loves the idea of grand proposals but realizes that his love for you is synonymous with comfort and warmth#ok sap moment over stream ten's song yaba daba whatcha doingggg

actually no i need to talk about the green witch arc. ciel and his band of merry fools go to germany and learn that this forest is haunted by WEREWOLVES and in it is a village full of WITCHES with cursed amulets and potions and whatever
and the immediate vibe is "lol what a bunch of bogus" which is really just batshit coming from the kid with a demon butler
and then woah big reveal! it wasn't werewolves or witches it was a covert military operation REPLETE with radar tracking (not a thing until wwii) and electronic displays (most likely crt screens, which again weren't fully developed until the 1930s) and TANKS. for reference the first "tank" was put together by a guy in 1899 who mounted a machine gun to THIS
absolute paragon of engineering. the panzer (the exact model of tank in the arc) was not a thing until wwi.
and. and ciel and ESPECIALLY the Demon Butler in question are like. ohhhh yeah that makes more sense. the amulets were just transmitting our exact locations through technology that won't exist for another three decades. whew glad we sorted that one out. man wouldn't it have been CRAZY if it really was werewolves.
#i love toboso's narrative style#i can picture her thinking like. ok whats gonna trump the cursed village red herring#oh i know! Technology#and like yeah they're A Little surprised by everything#it's really just that it's framed as the more reasonable explanation#as opposed to supernatural entities in the story about supernatural entities#ciel: yeesh i cant believe everyone thought this place was cursed. anyways time to use my magical demonic servant to get out of here#if you can't tell im very excited for this to be animated#black butler#kuroshitsuji#sebastian michaelis#ciel phantomhive#green witch arc#sieglinde sullivan#this is the long awaited sequel to my “black butler is camp” spiel#i also love sebastian's reaction to it#“humans have such interesting ideas!” buddy this shit would be straight up sorcery to an actual victorian#i think the faustian contract you have with the thirteen year old would be an easier concept to grasp#sieglinde was the only one reacting appropriately and bursting into tears#also less important discrepancy but after reviewing the panels the bunker's screens really just look like led displays#which didn't exist until the 1960s but i digress#i flipped through eight chapters and did so much research for this

can I request the chain with a modern!reader that has a ton of knick-knacks from their era that the chain is absolutely obsessed with please? like wind loves their sunglasses, twilight is obsessed with their lip balm, sky keeps stealing their hand cream, etc. I'm super excited to read it ☺️🥰
OOhh!! Cute! I'll see what I can do! :D
Masterlist
Content under the cut!
"....So.... what is this again?" Twilight takes the cap off of your lip balm and puts it back on. He does it again. And again.
"Chapstick!" You snatch it back. "If you keep doing that you're going to mess it up."
"I like these." Wind grins, playing with the sunglasses as they fit on his snuggly on nose. "I want some! Everything looks cool and dark."
"Well yes." You laugh a bit as you apply the lip balm to your lips, only vaguely aware that Twilight had been watching the movement. "That's the point of them anyway. They're meant to wear on very sunny and bright days so you don't hurt your eyes."
"How do I look?" He strikes a pose. He looks ridiculous. They don't remotely fit him.
"You look great, little buddy!"
"This smells nice." Sky rubs his hands together, smelling his hands again right after. You had been trying to do your morning routine when the boys had caught your various skin/health care items. You didn't have the strength to stop them as they fiddle with what you had and began to continue looking through your stuff.
"Good." You reply absentmindedly to Sky as you take your lotion back. "It's supposed to."
"But what is it for?" Warrior takes the bottle out of your hand and tries to read what's on the bottle. Naturally, he understands nothing.
"It's to keep your skin soft." You sigh and hold your hand out for it. Honestly, the least they do is ask. It's like trying to keep your brother's our of your drawer.
"Can I try?" Warrior asks, eyes bright like a child's.
You groan and face palm. "Sure. Go ahead. It's not like that's the only bottle I brought with me or anything."
"I'm surprised you brought it at all." Legend jokes, playing with one of your pens that has multiple inks on the inside. You think he likes the clicking sounds the most. It's not like he knows he can draw with it. "What good is all this stuff?"
"You don't get to say anything!" You accuse. "You brought three journals, two shovel and like five different magic rods!"
"Those are are tools!" He sits up at once. "They're to help when you're out and about and adventuring!"
"Well this is for my sense of routine and structure!" You fire back. "I need some sense of normalcy in this crazy messed up time wibbly wobbly thing I've found myself in! None of you know what a microwave is!"
"Did you bring it?" Wild tilts his head. "What's does that do?"
"I- No, I didn't bring one." You fight the urge to face palm again, "It's too huge and heavy but it's suppose to heat up food faster than a fire and it's convenient."
Wild grins. "I want one."
You sigh. "...I'll see what I can do, big guy."
"Yes!"
#linked universe#linkeduniverse#linked universe x reader#lu x reader#modern! Reader#my brain died midway#I'm aware I'm missing Hyrule- Time and Four#they.... can just be elsewhere#or maybe they're still sleeping for a change#granted#i think Time and Four would be pretty early risers#but i digress#it felt like a good stopping point ^.^*#i hope this is ok

There is something so poetic about the almost and the never.
Galadriel and Halbrand met on a raft in the middle of the sea, in the middle of nowhere.
Both were broken individuals, running from their pasts and searching for something to give meaning to their lives and pain.
They clung to each other, shaping one another into what they wanted to be. For a time, this connection worked; they were almost something—friends or lovers, it didn’t matter.
But then life crashed back in, and they had to face reality. Whatever they had between them would never fully be.
They couldn’t ignore their pasts or run from them. Yet, their meeting meant something. Galadriel confronted her fears
and realised she was all she needed to become her true self.
Halbrand, through Galadriel, transformed into his true self—Sauron, the Dark Lord.
Their choices gradually led them to drift apart, both physically and emotionally. However, their experiences in that liminal space between them were genuine. What they felt for each other was real. They had almost become something significant. Now, however, they will never be anything together again.
#who says that a relationship to be considered romantic needs to be consumed?#I'm drawn to the idea that two characters may have meant something to each other at some point but now they will never be anything#because love may not be enough#because you can love someone and not wanting to be with them#you could love someone and then hate them because of what they did#you can love someone and still don't like them#just give me this kind of relationship#the tragedy of the 'we were never meant to be#and that's ok because I don't need to be with you to be complete and happy'#I'm digressing#I have a problem#they are doomed and the tragedy#they are doomed and that's the poetry#the rings of power#rings of power#rop#trop#lotr rings of power#galadriel#haladriel#halbrand#sauron#saurondriel

life is hard for us oz fans who are only meh about wicked. have half a meme.
#it's not even that i dislike boq as a character - he's fine. i think galinda is the most intriguing of the musical esp in her relationship#with power and how that relates to her relationships with other people. but boq is fine#i am just SO fucking tired of conflating boq wicked with nick chopper baum books#that's not my tin woodman. and i don't want him to be. nick (unlike many oz characters) has a very specific and set backstory#he has a whole damn book about it ffs#and boq is such a different character in terms of role symbolism and personality that i just cannot see him as even an au version of nick#fiyero too to be completely honest. though his mischaracterization doesn't bother me quite as much bc i read the book and he is rather#intriguing as a separate character - i don't love him in the musical tho. anyways specifically calling boq the tin woodman and saying#all the baum book stuff happened to him is so irritating to me because they are not at all the same. and nick is one of my favorite charas#in any media ever. idk. no hate if you like boq ofc and i don't want to stop you from having fun with the characters#i just am getting tired of the greater oz fandom latching on to wicked as fleshing out the baum or mgm characters. it's an entirely#different world. (and yes we can discuss the fact that wicked is intended to be canon compliant with the 39 film - but once again it's#a stretch to say it fits the charas. and that isn't the issue i have here.)#anyways. sorry. i'm just tired of wicked = boq = nick stuff#esp im annoyed at the fiyero and boq blorbo-ifying i see when the women of this musical are far more interesting and proactive#boq and fiyero are just furniture/pawns in the great drama that is elphaba's life and the way she pulls glinda into it with her#but WHATEVER i DIGRESS and shit. ignore this. whatever#it's the way people attempt to reconcile a lot of non-compliant media into whichever one they like the best. which is all fun and games#i am just being a hater. ok? this is me being a hater.#analysis#wizard of oz#wicked#wicked musical#toast talks oz#toasty talks

I think it's gotten better as of late but I must admit. unbelievably validating to, after months of being like "I feel so much discussion of TTRPGs and actual play rests on the idea of novelty rather than skillful execution and I disagree" to turn on the Sam Reich episode of Adventuring Academy and for Sam and Brennan to say "I would watch any well-executed premise the creators were passionate about, no matter how many times I've seen the same concept."
#there's a few underpinnings of like. everything i say re critique. and this is one of the most important.#if someone's criticism is it's been done before the question is ok but are they doing this one well?#and if someone's argument is don't you want something new and shiny the answer is ok but is it being done well#this is actually a big problem with the anti-gods argument in CR and i can prove it:#killing the gods would be new! having a breakup during the campaign would be new too. do you want the latter? if not why.#if your answer is that you feel it would be unsatisfying or narratively untrue?#i feel this way about killing the gods. so we agree novelty isn't actually what you want it's just the excuse you came up with#also btw the above is how you make sure an argument. it should be like. a tic tac toe game where you backed someone into a corner#where either way they answer they have to concede the point in some manner#anyway long tag digression back to the show

rereading thg to get hyped for tbosas and thinking about katniss’ inability to realize people know/like her. After volunteering she notices that the mayor is, “looking at me with a pained expression on his face. He doesn’t know me really, but there’s a faint recognition there.” Like GIRL of course he knows you??? There’s only 8k ppl in the district to begin with AND you’re there all the time selling strawberries ?? Tbf katniss didn’t even realize she and Madge were friends until she gave her the pin
#katniss and madge would those two lesbians that drive their friend group crazy#ok but does she like me like me???#i digress#the hunger games#thg#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#tbosas#katniss everdeen#madge undersee

Ok I know I'm heavily biased here but like I kinda love that Astarion's romance is one of the few in this type of video game where you basically end up canonically unmarried and childfree in his "good" ending? Just travelling the world??
Like it's honestly the millennial dream lmfaoo cannot believe i chose what would undoubtedly be my favorite option, first try
#also love that he's basically atheist like ok thanks you made the man exactly coded to be my type#and the humor and beautiful curly hair is very much something my IRL partner has too so like... how can i resist#anyways not sure a lot of people relate cause i think a lot of people want that fairytale romance#even tho wyll is right there yall#but i love me an unconventional or nontraditional one!!#i'm TIRED of being married with children as the endgame pls let's not do it#also a lot of people seem into him being a dad and im like... how? why? where in canon did he ever lmfao#more power to ya if you dig it but i just dont see it being in character#like in DAI i loved cullen and my inquisitor getting married and having a dog#and they seem the type to wants kids one day. but Tav & Astarion? lol no#i just think it's neat#is this a hot take? i have no idea but i don't see it mentioned a lot as a new fan tbh#pls do not come at me you can enjoy whatever you like#i haven't seen the ascended stuff so idk if being his 'consort' is like being his bride#but i feel like overall it's not and the vibe isn't all that different in this sense#except that you're hosting evil parties instead of travelling :/#Astarion#bg3 spoilers#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#bg3#also YEA he's nice to Arabella but you can tolerate certain kids without wanting one or being 'good parent' material#case in point: me lmfao#OKAY update i saw the AA stuff and yeah you're kind of implied vamp married and he does mention spawn as children 😫#but he also says in banter he won't make any other spawn??? so what is it dude#anyway that's also clearly the “bad” route and he doesn't seem as happy as unascended#who feels “truly free”#and if you're durge I'm pretty sure its even worse to consider having kids?? lol#but i digress#pk plays bg3
