Every Boromir hater makes my enormous love for him grow stronger. Sorry you couldn't understand him, I get him tho and we're holding hands and the whole of Gondor is laughing at you
#lotr#boromir#tbh i think id actually have a good time chatting w a boromir hater if they knew and understood the material but still hated him#cuz most people who dislike this man do because of very shallow reasons#'he was upset looking down at narsil' one can only wonder why that has baggage for a gondorian and the stewards son#'he didnt accept aragorn at first' yea i bet when a dirty ass ranger claims the throne of a kingdom without having lived there#when your fam took care of it for several generations it doesnt feel super great and you Might be a bit upset and worried about it#'he tried to take the ring from frodo' despite disagreeing w the councils decision he still earnestly followed them to destroy the ring#and he only fell after weeks of traveling as the ring whispered to him threats of destruction#one that unlike the rest of the fellowship was already Actively happening and had been happening for a long time#you see ur cities fall and people die everyday as the 1st line of defense against ultimate evil and we tell you not to use a perfect weapon#while said weapon tells you yes it will fix everything just grab it go on boy#and echoes words your father has been pushing onto you all throughout#it feels like people just have no sympathy compassion or understanding for all he's gone through or for the power of the ring#deep breath. im ok#im normal about boromir and my heart doesnt shatter at every rewatch of his death#id have followed you my steward.

"I should've seen the signs" I feel like Stoick was basically reliving the way he lost Valka.
To him, after a lifetime of wanting nothing but to kill a dragon, Hiccup's suddenly and inexplicably changed his mind. To him, Hiccup saying he can't kill them is just like when Valka refused to and tried convincing others as well, then as a result was 'killed' by one herself.
To him, way Hiccup tossed his weapon and shield to the side then approached Hookfang while speaking about how dragons aren't what people think they are probably bares an uncomfortable resemblance to the way Valka put down her weapon and stared a dragon in the eyes and as a result was taken.
To him, attempting to do anything but preemptively defend yourself against a dragon will only end in tragedy, so he has to do anything he can to stop Hiccup before it's too late.
(And just like with Valka, he unintentionally escalated the situation by trying to protect Hiccup but only agitated the dragon, causing it to panic and react, inadvertently putting someone he loves in danger. again)
Stoick of course, wasn't acting rationally, but it makes sense when you think about how traumatizing Valka's 'death' must've been for him (and how much Hiccup reminss him of her); he watched her get taken, presumably killed, and couldn't do anything about it.
#THE PARALLEL GHSSHRBFK THE PARALLELS#'so everything in the ring was a trick? a lie?' he was so elated when he though hiccup was finally taking after him#he convinced himself so hard that This was the real hiccup he's finnaly going to be a proper viking a real member of the tribe#and he was so proud and glad he finally had something he could connect with his son over#but again he'd convinced himself of all that. he completely ignored everything hiccup had to say#in his eagerness to actually be a Family to actually bond with his child#he was so stuck with this fake image of Hiccup the Dragon Slayer he'd convinced himself of to the point#when it all fell through he felt almost betrayed#betrayed and scared#scared he made a horrible irrational and emotionally charged decision of essentially disowning his son#im not saying stoicks a good parent. hes not. but hes trying and alone and taking care of an entire village as well as hiccup#and all the unprocessed trauma and emotional repression#hes not great but hes not bad either. hes trying.#hes trying and its not enough but at least it got better#i love stoick#parents of autistic kids they dont understand moment#httyd#stoick the vast#stoick haddock#hiccup haddock#valka haddock#httyd analysis#maybe?#hiccup horrendous haddock iii#haddock family#moth.txt#also pls dont tell me abt how valka and the 2nd movie wasnt planned yet. ik that but i like expanding on things#and pondering a characters reasoning for certain decisions bc its fun and makes them all the more fascinating#post rewatch 1am thoughts go crazy (sorry if any of this is like redundant or confusing. im tired) if u read the tags ily

I think one of the things I love the most about Haikyuu is that even though the whole manga comes from a place of love from Furudate who created the story specifically to get people into volleyball, there is nothing to make you feel bad about not wanting to play anymore
There are characters who are completely obsessed with volleyball. There are characters who aren't obsessed but are interested enough to keep going. There are characters who weren't into it but did it anyway and then just couldn't stop. There are characters who started doing volleyball and then realized they didn't like it anymore, then left and were better for it. There are characters who are like "this was cool and it was nice but I don't want to do this forever". There are characters who never play but still support the teams anyway
And the story validates every single one of these experiences. There's no "this experience is better than that experience", there are just characters who like it, don't like it, are obsessed with it or can appreciate everything that happens in a game regardless of their feelings towards it
It's just really nice to go through the story and feel the whole acceptance through the writing itself, to see that Furudate is encouraging you to try volleyball, to experience how fun it can be, and if it's not fun for you or you fell out of love with it or just don't want to do it anymore, then that's fine! At least you experienced it! At least you tried! At least you learned something about yourself! And hopefully you made friends along the way!
Haikyuu inspires people to try something new but never does it show a characters negative feelings or lack of feelings towards it as invalid and wrong. It just encourages you to do what makes you happy. I really appreciate that
#there's obviously more characters who have other experiences too that i missed#but still i think i made my point#i need to rewatch and reread this series#spoilers in the tags from this point on ----->#i think this ESPECIALLY hits home after the timeskip#learning what every character was doing in the future#how there definitely were those who went into volleyball as a career#but there were others who did something else like being a veterinarian or a singer or a fashion designer#the way there were characters who were so good at playing volleyball but it just wasn't what they wanted to do all their life#like nishinoya and tendou#ALSO#when udai was revealed#and he was literally just. some guy#hinata and others idolized him and he was just a guy who didn't wanna play volleyball#and the most important thing is it wasn't a big deal that he wasn't a little giant anymore#hinata moved on quickly and that was a good thing for him and his development into finding who he wanted to be#it really does show that udai's decision was valid. he inspired people with how great he was but he just didn't wanna do it anymore#AND AND he probably STILL ends up inspiring kids anyway because he became a mangaka who created a manga about volleyball!!#the cycle is complete!!#the emphasis on doing what you want because its fun and makes you happy is just!! very important i think!!#haikyuu!!#haikyuu!! manga spoilers#haikyuu!! spoilers#mettys posts#metty posts

The thing about Cora ripping her heart out is that, contrary to the popular opinion, to what she makes it out to be, to what Rumple eventually believes in, it wasn't about her choosing power over love.
It was about her being afraid to trust him because she's being burned too many times by men who claimed to love her only to leave her with nothing and spit in her face... and this time is even more dangerous for her because she feels that she is falling for him, too.
She's not in love with him, not yet, but she might eventually be, hence why she calls Rumple the only man she ever loved later on – because he is the only man she ever felt like she could fall in love with, if she let herself do it.
Ultimately, it all comes down to her needing to make a leap of faith. Her running away with Rumple, accepting the risks and still choosing to believe him, and his love, would be that leap of faith.
And Cora can't do it, because she's afraid of being betrayed again, and afraid of not being in control of her life again ( most part of her life has been out of her control, she can't go back, just can't ).
So she chooses to stay with Henry instead of running away with Rumple because that way she is in control, of her own fate and Henry's and her possible future children, in a way she doesn't believe she can be with Rumple, especially considering her own feelings, and so she is safe.
And she rips her heart out to avoid such dilemmas, such problems in the future because having heart is weakness, having feelings is weakness, love is weakness.
TL;DR: Cora ripping her heart out and leaving Rumple wasn't about choosing power over love, it was about her trust issues, and fear of being rejected and abandoned and having her heart broken... it was about self-preservation, protecting her heart and her life.
And she regretted that decision for a long time afterwards, possibly for the rest of her life ( but that's a meta for another post ).
#m: cora mills#cora ( meta )#she makes me so sad now...#when I first watched the show I didn't like her from the get-go because that's what the narrative told us we should do#– she is the villain after all and one of the most callous ones at that#but now that I'm rewatching the show and looking at Cora through the prism of her backstory I now know#my view of her changes#don't get me wrong she still will kill you if you threaten her or her family in any way#but she truly is not as much of a cartoonish villain as she is made out to be in earlier seasons#and she is capable of great love#which makes her life-changing decision even more sad

#finished my Penny Dreadful rewatch#oh man I would have loved that ending so so much if it had had three more seasons to it#it's really beautiful in its tragedy. it's a good one because it's so wrong#they make so many wrong decisions for all the right reasons. but they're still wrong#I love love love the core element of a cosmic guard dog solely destined to accompany and serve his ward. and then he can't#because he made the wrong choices out of desperate confusion. because everyone in this show is so human#cosmic level destiny being fucked up by the sheer human-ness of its agents is a wonderful thing when done tragically#and suddenly the only options left for an ending are the worst ones#that is such a great story#oh how I wish they would have had the time to tell it right#because this last season is so cheap in so many ways#what you can make out through the rubble and the bullshit is beautiful#but sadly just that#edit I am not done#this show does dog tropes so well it made me cry real tears#Ethan sitting in Vanessa's room all day just. watching where she used to be#peak mourning dog behavior#I don't even like dogs#but that trope#I'll eat it up whole#credits to Josh Hartnett though he was born for that duality#I love that man's layered performances. he has the ability to make paradoxes seem as naturally human as they are#it's everything to me

Oh also before I post art I just wanna say that KEEPING UP A-FEAR-ANCES SLAYS AND EVERYONE SLEEPS ON IT!!!!
#ramblings of a lunatic#the owl house#toh#IT'S SO GOOD???#personally i think a lot of ppl who complain abt Liliths redemption arc skip this episode on rewatch bc this ep does a lot to contextualize#it basically gives us the big ''WHY?'' of why did she curse eda#she has no foundation for her own self esteem and desperately needs some higher authority to tell her what she's worth#bc her mom didn't do that for her#ergo as a kid she makes a selfish decision that ruins edas life and she digs her heels in trying to find comfort and security#in the form of social status and power in the emperor's coven (which also gave her the false comfort that she was Doing Something Good)#she either needs the approval of God or his mouthpiece bc without it she doesn't know who she is#she has to be better than someone at something at any given time bc she's scared she'll fade into the bg otherwise#(also i think this ep subtly implies she was closer with her dad than her mom?? not super notable i just thought it was nice <3)#ALSO EDA AND GWEN. RAAGRHEUFHTK BITE BITE KILL#as much as i love eda and camilla as moms gwen is. much closer to my own experiences and i can appreciate that#gwen is a great 1 ep redemption arc imo they did a very nice job giving her a tight storyline#ALSO. ''I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE UPSET'' IS ON THE SAME LEVEL AS ''THEN WHY WERE YOU SO EASY TO CURSE'' IMO#IT'S REALLY GOOD. GO OFF EDA!!!!!!#also clawthorne lore i love you clawthorne lore#AND FIRST APPEARANCE OF VEE!!! THE ANIMATION AND LIGHTING POPPED OFF#anyway. this has been my plea to watch this ep again and remember how hard it slaps

I think one of my favorite Princess Tutu memories is my friend A watching my DVDs on the lounge TV in college. When I walked in, she was on the episode with the girl who loved watering and talking to the flowers.
Freaking season two.
Granted, there are only 26 episodes of the whole show but still. She meant business and I was happy that she checked it out on a whim and was clearly having a good time.
#faye rewatches princess tutu#faye watches#not that this memory has anything to do w the episode i'm currently on; just a fond thought#she was like me; gave it a chance on a whim and it turned out to be a great decision ♥️💕#and she was the only one i think who watched it without me recommending it#everyone else who watched it was because that was what i chose for bonding time at different points in those four years 😂😂😂

wow i can’t believe it’s been 3 years since i got into jojo, which altered my brain chemistry forever (for the worse)
i really should rewatch it soon :)
#jjba#getting into jojo during quarantine was the best and worst decision of my life#i still remember 80% of jjba but some parts are blurrier than others#like what the fuck was up with most of part 3#part 3 is extremely dumb (i mean this affectionately)#and even though i recognize that part 4 is one of the best parts i still forgot a large chunk in the middle#i remember parts 5 and 6 very clearly because they’re my favorites (i have great taste i know)#i should rewatch parts 1-4 at least

another random thing that stands out to me rewatching Steven Universe as an adult:
throughout the show there's this clear Vibe that Steven has inherited some big magical destiny, right? and it makes sense narratively: he's the son of Rose Quartz, leader of the rebellion, now being raised by her friends who were the last remaining survivors of an interstellar war. he's like a human child in most ways, except he has magical powers that start to become more obvious as he's getting older. no one like him has ever existed before. it's a big deal. raising him and figuring out how he's going to grow is its own unique challenge, because nobody knows what to expect. so of course there's this magical destiny vibe, given all that.
What's interesting to me, though, is that this magical destiny is in no way literally, physically present in the story, it's just something everyone kinda feels. Like, there's not some ancient prophecy about a half-gem, half-human savior. He's not the Chosen One in any literal sense, he just happens to give off Chosen One vibes. And I say that's interesting because it means that the fact he was kinda raised with this Chosen One vibe is completely a decision everyone around him made, for better or for worse. And the show is aware of this, because the weight of Rose's legacy and everyone's expectations of him is a constant theme, and as Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl all grow and develop, they also realize the downsides of them putting those expectations on a child. Like, Steven spends his whole childhood being told about how great Rose was, and how because he's inherited her gem he will probably inherit her powers - and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Imagine how awful things could have been if Steven had no exposure to the Gems and no knowledge of what they were or how they worked, and then his powers started coming in? It was hard enough even when he was surrounded by the most qualified Gem Experts on Earth. But being primed for all of this "you're going to have your mother's magical powers" stuff put a heavy weight on his shoulders, and then the fact that nobody else quite knew how his abilities worked meant he was constantly faced with the adults in his life looking to him with concern because they didn't know what was happening with him. That's gotta leave an impression on a kid - and, well, throughout the show and especially in SU Future we definitely see that it does.
I like the way the show handles the pressure that's put on him, and the fact that everyone is just... trying their best in a completely unprecedented situation. Nobody knows what to do or how to raise this kid, and that inevitably causes problems but everyone is trying. And Steven can feel that everyone is trying without knowing what to do and he just wants to help and not be a burden and none of his caretakers have said that he's a burden but he can feel everyone's confusion and concern and the expectations he's not living up to and he cares so much, about everyone, about everything. He's in an extremely unique position that grants him opportunities to help that nobody else has, and he feels like he's failing everyone if he can't fulfill that, and in the end it never should have been his job to fix things but somebody had to try. Somebody had to try, and he was one of the only people with the ability to stop the Diamonds, stop the war, stop the lies, stop his world and everyone on it from being destroyed... and he was just a kid.
#i feel so protective of this kid watching as an adult like holy shit#so much terrible shit happens to him. it's nobody's fault. it's everybody's fault.#it's destiny but it's a choice. it's necessary but it's really not. it's all about steven but it never actually was.#the show handles the contradictory nature of things well i think. everyone's feelings and relationships are complex and nuanced#ghost speaks#steven universe

On Tommy Kinard
"It's not that I don't like Buck and Tommy, it's just happening so fast, he's underdeveloped!"
*clears throat*
Here is a recap of what we know about Tommy. And this is just off the top of my head, I didn't rewatch anything.
He was closeted at the 118 before and found the atmosphere repressive. He (probably) acted like a dick to fit in. When presented with the chance to make things better, he took it, and developed positive relationships with Hen, Chim and Bobby.
He was in the army and trained there as a pilot.
He knows Muay Thai and has a set up in his house.
He likes to work on cars and has a lift at his house (where TF does he live is my question - he has some nerve being agog at Buck's loft if he has a muay thai gym and a car lift)
He is down for violating departmental policy at the drop of a hat (has done so on at least two occasions) to help a friend and has no problems fucking with the fire chief.
He is a nerd. He likes pub trivia and has incorrect Star Wars opinions, and can keep up with Chim in the movie-quoting department.
His favorite movie is "Love, Actually" and he likes craft beer and monster trucks.
He came out when he transferred to Harbor and felt comfortable enough to stop lying about who he was.
He follows MMA and has friends in Vegas who like him well enough to hook him up to a frankly insane degree.
He'll risk his own life and engage in helicopter skulduggery to save people he doesn't know...I mean, apart from doing that for a living.
He'll take time out of his day to give a tour to the cute boy who called him up and offer to give that boy flying lessons (a significant time investment) which was probably maybe about more one on one time with said boy.
He yearns for the belonging and found family that the 118 became after his departure and probably befriended Eddie hoping to earn a plate at the cookout, aside from just clicking with him.
He likes Eddie and Chris a lot and they like him. Chimney also likes him.
He was attracted to Buck right away and was emotionally aware enough to pick up on Buck's jealous feelings over Eddie and his friendship, even if he was surprised that it was him Buck wanted to get to know.
He respects and values Buck and Eddie's friendship and wanted to make sure Buck knew that.
He's brave enough to shoot his shot by planting one on a dude.
He's a lil bitchy but also generous and ready to throw in with this insane guy who's inviting him to a family wedding after 0.5 dates.
He showed up to a bachelor party when he was on call because Buck asked him to, then showed up in turnouts after fighting a fire for like 12 hours yadda yadda we all know this part.
He has got it BAD for one Evan Buckley, who he only calls "Evan" which according to LFJR is a conscious decision by the writers, which fascinates me.
He was willing to take a chance with a man just discovering his sexuality BUT wasn't willing to put himself through that if the man in question wasn't ready for it. When Buck showed him that he was, he was all in.
He does NOT take his coffee like that.
Oh and
He's a beast.
This is VASTLY more information than we knew about ANY of Buck's previous girlfriends with the possible exception of Abby. Even Taylor did not get this much development over 20 episodes (things we knew about her: she was an ambitious and ethically flexible reporter, did not eat fudge, had a dad in jail, and sometimes jogged for exercise, she was capable of being nice and did love Buck, I believe). And as for it being fast? Sometimes it just be like that? A relationship doesn't have to have year(s) of buildup. Sometimes people do just meet, like each other, and start dating, in fact in the real world that's usually what happens. It's in TV Land that you have to have eighteen seasons of UST before pulling the trigger. Most of the time in reality people just vibe off each other and decide to go out and THEN they learn about each other.
And they've got a great start. You'd think they'd barely spoken by how a few naysayers are talking about it - the loft scene was like a solid five minutes of very open conversation, the Cringe Date seemed to have gone well and again, open and honest (if cringey) conversation before Cockblocker Eddie showed up, and the coffee meetup was again....open and honest conversation. They're not gonna show us long scenes of them exchanging firefighting stories and workout preferences (I mean, I'd watch that, but it's not what the show is about).
In conclusion, anyone saying he's poorly developed or the relationship is "out of nowhere" either is being willfully obtuse or has ridiculously unrealistic expectations for relationships and/or what constitutes character development.
As for whether they have chemistry, that's a matter of subjective opinion. Given that a TON of people watched that harbor tour scene (even when it was posted as a sneak peek) and started going "wait...what's going on here...are they flirting??" might be a clue. People were talking about Bi!Buck maybe happening with Tommy based solely off that clip of the harbor tour and what they were seeing between them. And imho that loft scene was crackling. But we all see things through the lenses of our biases, myself included.
Got that off my chest, whew.
