it's heart breaking knowing that there is a strong parallel between percy and luke's upbringing. both had distant fathers. both had loving mothers who would do anything to protect them. both grew resentful of the gods even as they embodied the roles of pawns in their game of chess. and yet. luke's story is what blends into the wallpaper. lurks in the background like a descending melody in a thundering chorus. something we aren't made aware of until it's too late.

Wait, is Lilia canonically 700? I thought he was thousands of years old. Did I miss something in Chapter 7....

I thought so too! the stuff about his real birthday being lost to time, the way he talks about the planetary alignment thing that only happens every 100 years, and other things like that made me think he was waaaay older than he is. but nope, in 7-26 he says he's just shy of turning 700! (so he's actually like. 699.) his particular type of fae can live to around 1000, but he's running down early because he pushed himself too much when he was younger (and also he plays too many online games) (he was probably not serious about that but c'mon, man, at least use a blue-light filter or something).

meanwhile, Mal is from a much longer-lived race that doesn't even reach adulthood until 1000 (500 is young adult, and 200 is still a little fledgeling dragon baby). Lilia doesn't say exactly how old he is, except that he's developmentally a "little" older than the third-years (so like about 20 in dragon years? ...can Leona sense this. is this part of why he sees Malleus as his Eternal Rival.) which means he's probably somewhere around or just under 500.

...I just realized that, depending on when it happened, this means Lilia might've been, like, mentally a teenager during the flashback of The Time Baby Malleus Almost Killed Everybody. he's just had Dad Instincts his entire life, I guess.

the neurodivergent urge to kiss and cuddle and hold your friends hand bc the social rules of how we are supposed to show affection are dumb and bad

i want to complain, but din djarin is truly living his greatest dream right now. the side character! he’s going around straight chilling, redeeming himself and showing off with his cool baby that can jump really high. does it matter that he has the darksaber? apparently not. is he the one on a journey because of the mythosaur? nope. is he aware in any way of the political discourse happening in the core? no fucking way. but was he the one to save that foundling out of the clutches of a beast? you bet your ass he was. it’s everything he’s ever wanted, just to vibe with his son around a bunch of vaguely cool concepts and in a story that is thematically incoherent

If I had a nickel for every series written by Vivziepop that had an episode centered around a court case, that also had that court case end in an absolute BANGER of a song, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Lemme scream about the blatant sexism in Naruto for a min

It's widely understood that Kishimoto can't write for shit. NOW, is that to say Naruto isn't a masterpiece? No, it's fucking amazing, but let's be real, 90% of it is accidental. Sure, the KakaObi writing goes hard and makes me physically ill and the overall story is enthralling and compelling. But goddamn, what if I told you that to be considered a good writer you had to be able to write women as well, what if I told you that to be considered a good writer you had to be able to power scale characters instead of just dropping random lore and then ignoring it.

Tsunade is one of the most well-written female characters in the series, but she's still boiled down to a sex symbol or the ass end of a joke half the time. She has complex trauma and a shit way of dealing with it but it makes her compelling, her desire to be apathetic but unable to actually achieve it is beautifully painful to watch. She is incredibly strong, politically knowledgable and well-trained and yet more often than not fandom views her as a belligerent drunk with a nice rack and a soft spot for Naruto, which I suppose was the point. Tsunade wishes that was all she was, but the world hangs heavy on her shoulders because of her blood line and the legacies she has to uphold.

And then we have Sakura. One of the most hated characters of all time, for what is essentially being a 12-year-old girl who comes from a STABLE HOME. I think what people fail to understand is that Sakurs has no frame of reference for the ninja life, her parents are present in her life and treated her like a civilian child throughout the academy and form what is seen in the series, well into her adult ninja life. She is the ONLY civilian non-orphan we ever see, the rest of the Konoha 12 are clan kids or traumatized orphans. Of course, she's whiney and doesn't care about the right things as a ninja, she was essentially a civilian until the end of Naruto. Even in Shippuden, it's very clear that while competent, she still lives with her parents and stays in the village as Tsunade's apprentice. Sakura's growth is obvious and makes utter sense if you stop the hate train and actually examine how her background and situation is completely different from her peers. Her love map and psychological development is probably the healthiest of the 12, because she grew up normal, or at least as normal as you can in a militaristic village that indoctrinates children into its army. Not to mention that by all accounts, shes one of the strongest ninja's in the world, but what is that when compared to gods?

I hate when people call me a tiktok therian because i wear gear a lot and make masks and shit, because no, i found the term on reddit back in covid and started questioning with hours of research on multiple social media platforms, and have been a therian for multiple years. there is no such thing as a tiktok therian, stop gatekeeping our community, we are should be one of the most accepting communties. should we not? reminder that all therians are valid

On an unrelated note, anyone else a fan of happy endings?

*Stanford and Bill, arguing*

Wendy, staring with a raised eyebrow: Those are your dads, huh, what's up with that?

Me, not sure if those two are arguing or flirting: It's complicated. But let's just say I'm the product of a very messy divorce and they're fighting over custody.
