jamie talking about how he thinks he can buy the teams affection and then remembering the matching rings with his dad is wounding me

forever obsessed with dynamics between vampires, specifically that of a maker and fledgling, as a way to explore abuse. the creation of a vampire itself can so easily be a literalization of the lasting impacts of trauma and also much more simply the ways a perpetrator might shape their victim’s very identity. the extremes of isolation in the way that the new vampire, in most narratives, must cut all ties to their mortal life, or else go through an elaborate charade to maintain the facade of humanity, while forever still being removed from it. and the sheer dependence and vulnerability of being in an entirely new state of being, wholly uncertain of what it entails, and relying on another person to define… everything.

The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker is that he was always in a box someone else put him in. Watto said you are a slave. Qui-gon said you are the chosen one. You are a Jedi, you are a general, you are a good person. And when he knew without any doubt that he was no longer what people told him he was, he had to find new boxes. You are a sith. You are a servant. You are mine.

He spent his whole life being defined by people around him. And then along came Luke. And Luke didn't say 'you are a good person, come back to the light where you belong.' Because Anakin by all rights didn't belong in the light. No, Luke said 'you are my father. There's good in you." Luke said 'you have done great evil, but you can still change.' Luke said 'I do not excuse your villainy but I believe you can make your own choices.'

And that--that--is what got through. Not 'here is another box you must fit into' but finally, after his whole life, someone told Anakin 'you decide who you are.' And Anakin decided he was a man who loved his son.

I miss when Pikachu was just a little asshole with a side of dumbassery. They woobified him so much in more recent anime episodes. In the 90s that little prick was just electroshocking dynamite cords and then acting surprised when it blew up. And then chewing on computer wires because no one was giving him attention

People talk a lot about Bakugou’s possible intentions for being an ass to Midoriya, like some tragic backstory, but it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding. From Bakugou’s perspective, he’s unloved by everyone. He never understood that Midoriya just LIKES him. To Bakugou, he is the most determined manipulator of all time. Him secretly having a quirk basically confirmed that to Bakugou. The real reason their relationship improves after their fight in season 3 is because he realizes, “Oh. He just… cares about me.” Knowing what little we know about his relationship with his mother and her constant belittling, it makes perfect sense that he tries to make up for his actions only after putting them in hindsight.

i’ve said it before and others have definitely said it better but i will never forgive the writers for how they handled jamie’s relationship with his dad. it makes me so sad for jamie when everyone sees exactly how his dad treats him and then later tells him to forgive his father.

especially the way ted handles it and i know that ted has his own trauma relating to his dad but it’s not fair to push that onto jamie. jamie so clearly looks up to ted and ted just leaves him high and dry every time he reaches out for help. ted is the likely the first person on one of jamie’s teams who has any idea that jamie’s dad is abusive because ted sees them in the treatment room (and does nothing), and then jamie goes on LCA and gets kicked off man city and we see one of jamie’s first moments of vulnerability as he begs ted to let him back on richmond even after he thinks that ted sent him BACK to manchester and ted tells jamie there’s nothing he can do for him. then ted watches the whole interaction between jamie and james sr in 2x08 knowing how this is going to go and STILL doesn’t intervene. it’s roy that goes to comfort jamie even though they aren’t even friends at this point. even as roy is still adamant that he doesn’t like jamie, he is the only person in that room who does anything to help jamie.

at least with higgings he didn't know any of the specifics of jamie’s relationship with his dad but ted had seen it multiple times. the problem is the writers showed us multiple times how evil he is and then expected us to forgive him??? and belive that jamie should or would forgive him???

Wrecker elbowing Tech and telling him he has competition is already funny on its own cause it means the attraction is very not subtle like even Wrecker is teasing Tech...

But the look Tech gives him is SENDING me.

Wrecker. No one competes with me. Wrecker... No one could even try. Wrecker, seriously, what the kriff are you on? Wrecker.

If you'll excuse me a moment, I have to go cry at the way Aragorn takes a moment in the preparation of a battle to comfort a child who is facing down terror and death and the way he holds his shoulder like he does to his friends and looks him in the eye and says so softly but so firmly "there is always hope"
