armand feeling hopeless and useless as a maker and asking daniel to fuck him to feel like he has something to offer

YESSS i love deadbeat maker armand so much esp combined w crazy fledgling libido daniel just letting daniel use him over & over again because other people have actually dtaught him how to be a vampire so now all armand can offer is himself ie his body for daniels sustenance & his pleasure ;0; at least he feels useful this way at least he gives daniel something this way

Curly not immediately punishing Jimmy for assaulting Anya is something I don’t think a lot of people are viewing in the complex context for Curly as the superior to both of them and closest confidante they had.

Like I am in no way saying he didn’t under react or fail Anya by not being harsh or direct with Jimmy but it really is the case that he really couldn’t. Imagine being stuck in such a confined space with very little areas to genuinely hold someone if they commit a crime. It’s not like this was an event that occurred before they departed or that they have easy communication with The Pony Express to ask for how to proceed when something like this arises. Not to mention, Jimmy’s relative power in relation to Anya as the co-pilot and second in command, he has the knowledge and access to do something to her had Curly directly punished him in this setting.

They were also Curly’s friends. It’s not just the case of him mediating something between his subordinates but people he is personally invested in don’t want to see spiral further in Anya’s case while also not wanting believe his friend go that bad in Jimmy’s actions. They were both suicidal and Curly putting Jimmy’s stability first is both out of bias but also the fact he’s aware at some level Jimmy is a danger to himself and others if not constantly placated. Combined with the fact he was in denial or just not piecing together what Anya said it’s hard to say what he buying time for and what he had treat as urgent. This isn’t even saying he doesn’t care about Anya but he’s not going jump to the worst conclusions about his friends even if part of him acknowledges the evidence saying so. It’s a complicated thing but he’s still human and needed to process it on top of trying to keep a ship that already took on a lot of water from further sinking, metaphorically.

I just personally think that while Curly failed Anya, it was a scenario where there wasn’t much he could do to the best thing by her safely and like Jimmy, we are underestimating what a good leader would do in a very fragile and tense situation like he was in. By the time he may have been ready and had a plan, things were much too late.

the fucking iron grip that KHR has on my ass is insane bc its such an EPITOME of found family - bc its not even the side effect of like a shared goal or mission the way found families tend to be - but because FOUND FAMILY IS THE ENTIRE POINT

its the end goal, its the journey, its the whole story

theres a wholeass emphasis on tsuna's big empty house getting more crowded and more noisy

and not only that, its found family and a found purpose - each of the vongola find an achor in tsuna and vice versa - like fuck everybody else, im with them type a way

its that bone gnawing loyalty where not even the hounds of hell could keep these assholes from having each other's back

not just their relation to tsuna - which is the primary focus of the story but their relation to each other - how they must learn to be together bc again

Found Family Is The Mission

look we all know that aziraphale is mr. fiddlesticks-not-fuck and dearie-me-good-gracious, but my favorite thing about him is that there is also, at all times, a fuck-shit little bastard inside of him just begging to be let loose. he's petty, he's passive aggressive, and the Second he decides that playing by heaven's rules isn't going to help anybody, it's all "i know who you are, you idiot!" and "you STUPID man" and "FUCK"

honestly, maybe it's a hot take or whatever, but I think that tearing down the veil and *potentially* bringing back the immortality to the elves would not have helped them a lot

sorry jinx and silco's relationship enthralls me so. silco's first appearance paints him as a stereotypical crime boss boogeyman who no holds barred tries to get 4 kids killed for meddling with his plans. then when he succeeds at killing 2 he approaches powder with the intention of finishing her off as well, but she tackles him to the ground with a hug. she knocks the knife out of his hand and never notices it. everything about this character archetype in media suggests that he's doing this for himself, for some ulterior motive and ultimately that jinx is nothing to him but a means to an end. the whole time he's constantly repeating to her that it's us against the world, and it's manipulative but then you realize he fully believes it. her sister returns and he flips, not because she'll take away his perfect weapon but she would take away his daughter. it hits in the final episode when she kills him, and rather than being angry or violent he says that she's perfect. i am going to kill myself

For how much Machete is described by others as off-putting, he really is a beautiful dog. Does Vasco ever tell him so? That his eyes make him look earnest, his fur the most comforting shade of white like cream, the way his ears catch light like stained glass? If someone doesn't tell him so, he'd forever think he was ugliest duckling

I think Vasco definitely tries, sincerely and often, but Machete is very reluctant to accept compliments and positive feedback. Especially if it's about something as personal and innate as his looks.

Watching Wayward Pines for potential ST5 inspo bc the Duffers wrote a couple episodes in s1, and when I got to their second (last) episode and their name crossed the screen, I noticed a visual parallel that might already exist on the show…

Recognize it??

It instantly reminded me of that last shot for the opening of s3, with the landscape peaking out behind the Russian base. But when I went back and actually compared the two, holy shit it’s near identical, and not just the landscape.

I didn’t even remember the helicopter being there on the left, not to mention the pillar-esaue contraption at the center. Like… they’re the same picture.!

With them being credited right at that moment, it’s obvious this was an intentional nod to their previous work.

I just thought it was cool so I wanted to share, but in terms of my watch overall, there is a LOT going on that they could pull from. I’m only halfway through s1, though I’ve heard the show goes downhill in s2 so we’ll see how that goes 😂

Having feelings about my Azem and her death at the hands of the Third and Final Doom to buy the world time to summon Zodiark, even though she hated it, because they needed a plan and someone needed to do something

The sun, torn from the heavens, devoured by the night… eclipsed, extinguished, lost…

was talking to cody about this earlier but i really just love this scene once again for the autism of it all. kisuke simply deciding he can change his feelings on a whim, that he has that sort of precise control over his emotions or how he processes data- the way he knows the tension inherent in serving as kirio's replacement yet genuinely does want to (at first) approach everything in an open and friendly way in order to try pleasing everyone- his expression shift when shinji calls him out on his masking and all but calls it bullshit- it's so fascinating to me because it's ultimately this conversation that helps propel kisuke in the direction of embracing his own vision as captain and forming the s.r.d.i. instead of simply trying to mask and make everything easier for everyone.
