I'd fight the Fates, but they Probably Planned that too

The Fates and I

Have never agreed

Their tapestries,

Lovely.

But in six hands

There's thirty fingers

To simply slip through.

Predestiny

Wasn't for me

No matter the fight

I was told

That it meant nothing that-

That I mustn't stray

From a path I did not choose

And like

Strong-willed children do

I kicked

And screeched

Until ears could bleed.

Predestined fates do not all follow a direct route.

In hindsight, it was very funny I was so baffled and surprised at reviews of Qi Ye saying that this romance novel protagonist didn't really seem to have any romantic feelings for his partner. I never noticed anything. I just thought he was being more normal about it. Anyway Jing Beiyuan is aromantic because he's just like me fr

Yeah we've already talked about how outright stupid the lore n writing for modern Doom is, but tbh I can understand why they had to do something with Doomguy, why they had to make him The Specialest Boy instead of Just Some Guy. Do I like how they did it? No, I would've taken it a different direction. Do I think that hugo could've done it well even if he took it in the direction I would've? No, I have minimal faith in his story writing. But realistically, how many times can a guy singlehandedly accomplish the impossible before you have to acknowledge he's very much not Just Some Guy who happened to be at the right place at the right time? I think that, with how every single other person on the Phobos UAC base were killed in Doom I, doomguy stopped being Just Some Guy the moment he decided to do anything other than just lie down and die.

seeing the look of dawning horror on cassian’s face and subsequent unending panic attack as he realises he’s being forced to assemble what is essentially a giant weapon for the same people who destroyed his home, murdered his family, his sister, his adoptive dad, and took away his only chance at a normal life . the realisation that there is literally no escape except offing yourself.,,,,

the star wars show.........it.ss...hurting ,me.... so bad.......

I will say I am partial to Gary for being incredibly bland and a freak at the same time. But Paul McCartney is my favourite beatle so not too surprising. Don’t ask my favourite member of Panic

i think a lot about iwatex lore and story stuff outside its context of Video Game

like, it’s coded into the Video Game that kom always dies and there’s nothing you can do to save him. but in-universe? i don’t think fate or predestiny is a big thing here, bc it’s a time loop and sol’s whole life is different every time, so i often think about an In Universe fluke timeline, where something different happens and kom survives. anemone gets to grow up with her older brother and she doesn’t become a soldier and sol gets to see what it looks like for her to have a happy life.

and then it never happens again. sol can’t figure out what let kombucha survive in that loop, and they can’t ever recreate it, and he never survives again. that was the only loop where anemone was actually genuinely happy, and the guilt of its eats at sol in semi lucid moments of loop-awareness.

I haven't screamed about Qi Ye yet on Tumblr today... but I did scream excessively in someone's DMs about Wuxi saying that, in his previous life, he must have always loved Jing Qi, even if he never said it to him, he must have been thinking it while watching his back. Okay Wuxi, tell me more about Bai Wuchang's forgotten or not-so-forgotten feelings for whoever this predestined one of his is....

I need to talk about this so bad because I love starop so so badly. So viscerally. They follow so many tropes (good&evil, selfish&selfless, twink&hunk) but they are not ONLY opposites attract. They are so alike in so many ways as well. They have both been hurt by megatron, they were both born with predestinies (depending on the continuity), GGRRRRR I could ramble about them forever. I can make an entire list of how they as characters compare and contrast.

A lot of people that I find that don’t like starop as a ship only see it for what it is on the outside. I LOVE starop as a ship where Optimus prime doesnt try to forcefully convert Starscream and Starscream doesn’t reform to be an autobot just because it’s the ‘right’ thing to do or out of love for prime (because Starscream wouldn’t do that). Optimus prime ‘saves’ Starscream from his situation but can’t save him from who he is. Starscream is essentially taken out from an environment where he’s constantly being forced to fawn or nip at megatron so he’s not replaced and is instead given the opportunity to change and become something outside of what he was built to be.

Anyways sorry for the ramble I have robot autism
