pseudoneiric asked:
❛ You will find me a respectful, quiet, passive observer of the truth. ❜ (from octavian!)
Lost Meme -- @pseudoneiric
Nico snorted, not even bothering to hide the reaction. He’s pretty sure that Octavian was not respectful, quiet, or passive a day in his life, although the living part didn’t matter so much at that point. Nico hadn’t yet tried to see if anyone else could see the spirit of the former praetor, although Roman ghosts were known for being vocal, so this would unfortunately be something of an experiment.
“They’re just voting on the final plans for the temple district,” Nico said. “Once they get some of the big structures approved and plotted, they can figure out where to add any monuments.” Octavian should know all of this though, and Nico suspected he probably did, but it felt worth saying out loud still, if only to make sure the augur knew he hadn’t forgotten.

is it just me but it feels like five got dumbed down and nerfed the most in terms of his powers? Five didn’t see Ben steal the marigold, he didn’t figure out the CIA was part of the keepers but Luther did? What? No hate to Luther at all, I love that oaf but it doesn’t feel like FIVE!
Not to mention he was the ONLY one whose powers weren’t working or he couldn’t use to his advantage? Like what? Five? FIVE??? He should’ve figured out the teleporting thing. He should’ve figured out the subway. One opportunity I think the writers didn’t use is as the seasons progress five gains a deeper understanding of time travel and he’s able to figure it out more and more, so it comes full circle from s1 when he got stuck in the apocalypse because he didn’t understand time travel, but they don’t do that!! Like is this the same five who figured out what the sigil was in the s3 finale?
One reason I loved five was his intelligence but it doesn’t feel like it in s4

genius lyrics was on fire last night. they were adding annotations deleting annotations before our very eyes. half the words were either not present or spelled wrong. they had [SCRIBING DON'T EDIT - SOAHGZ] at the top of the page with an annotation that said "the narrator invites us—active users and genius.com lovers—to not edit the lyrics and have faith in our wonderful scribers" and not a soul listened.

Hinata, Hinata, Hinata. How's my favourite little slave owner doing? She okay? Well, not for long now, because I'm about to rip into her.
Here's the situation. She's bland. Frumpy. Too timid, too shy, too "kind", too awkward, too privileged, too busy idolizing Naruto and putting him before her kids, to be a Shinobi. To have the guts to do something about the slavery going on in her own family. To even acknowledge it.
That's annoying. Unfortunately, she, much like Sakura, was born in a world much too harsh for her. She doesn't fit in. She doesn't have what it takes to live up to the expectations placed on her as the heir (which is why Hiashi had to pass it down to Hanabi, a much more capable kunoichi, and no matter how much you vilify him for it, he was right to do so. He has a duty to his clan, he needs to be responsible. There's no space for coddling). She's preoccupied with stalking her crush from afar.
She's unimportant. She's just...there. Neji suffered the fate of his father saving her, a true loss of a much more important, likable, skilled character.
And she, instead of at least realizing, acknowledging how fucked it is that there are literal slaves in her family, whose lives are treated as lesser than hers, she just fawns over Naruto again.
In the fight with Pain, her confession was selfish, a suicide mission which endangered the lives of everyone, and specifically the fate of her bodyguard that told her that he'd get in trouble if something happened to her. She blatantly disregarded every warning she was given to not approach the battle.
All to confess her feelings to a stranger (because that's who Naruto is to her. He's a stranger, whom she knows only about his never-give-up mentality. And she, well. She is someone Naruto barely spoke to ever), get one panelled, and traumatize Naruto who would have to suffer with the guilt of knowing someone died for him out there. You could say he went ballistic over the fact that Hinata was injured and he loved her so, but the fact that he never once sought after her and ignored her love confession is proof enough that he only cared about her well-being as a mere comrade. Just knowing she's alive was good enough for him. Because Naruto is Naruto, and like it or not, he generally cares about people.
Her whole character falls apart the moment I erase her infatuation with Naruto; all the evidence you need that she's horribly written and shallow (Something also purposefully done by Kishimoto).
Hinata is simply privileged and irrelevant, in all the sense of the words. Seeing her stans point fingers and make fun of Sakura without realizing that they're both equally bad is hilarious.
Hinata wasn't made for the world of Shinobi, and it's blatantly clear.

Unpopular opinion but I actually deeply fucking love games where the protagonist is silent and relatively passive when it comes to interacting with other characters, even if that means watching them go down paths that end in their destruction. Sure its likely done as a 'blank slate'/self-insert sorta thing but quiet, stoic, nonverbal people also exist and the perceived lack of a personality =/= no characterization whatsoever

it's the fact that not even Deku or Ochako got their resolutions in this chapter that's getting to me. Out of every single character, the only ones who got their resolutions one chap before the end are the grandma who didn't want to help little Tenko and an NPC Tenko wannabe who had exactly two panels of the previous screentime

Funny how medication consumption has gone up over the years but people seem to be even more unhinged than ever before.  Isn’t that stuff supposed to help level people out?

Bad Batch
Tech: There are people who are the chaos, who plan the chaos, who get nervous over the chaos, who manage the chaos, and then there's the problem child working against the chaos. Crosshair: I feel like that was an insult... but I'll own it. Echo: I'm disappointed that I understand you. Hunter: I'm assuming I am the chaos? Wrecker: *crashing sounds, yells* Hunter: WHAT NOW, WRECKER? Hunter: *runs off* Echo: Should we tell him? Tech: No. He'll learn soon enough that when he's not going feral, it really is the rest of us he has to manage.
