Learning that the garage at the end of the Raceway has a storage room attached when that's the one I've been giving Roxy for a den is really funny still.
Was she such an inconvenience about this that she managed to let staff and management let her keep the garage and the storage room? Did she take the storage room and not the garage?
Cause I don't think she'd take the one next to the party rooms at the other end. The odds of her getting that one would be way lower due to staff convenience and what not but also did she really rob them of all of their go-kart parts storage space?
How much of a pain in the ass did she have to be to win the garage and the little storage room for herself? Talk about a battle of wills.
#fnaf security breach#roxanne wolf#like... management most likely has tasers and shit for discipline stuff#and those white rooms in parts and services could be timeout rooms or something#like bro how much would she have had to endure for this? how did she manage this???#that's impressive man#she do be stubborn as hell#'just let her fuckin have it. we cant keep putting her out of commission for this.'#'but sir-'#'if it gets her back on stage instead of in timeout all the fucking time she can have the whole damn raceway.'#they're all just so done#roxy fixes the go-karts so now that she's not it's also costing them extra maintenance time and staff#roxy now has THREE rooms#one on Rockstar row and two in the Raceway#because she deserves it!#lmao roxy the biggest pain in the ass to all the staff in the Plex#they programmed her to be defiant and cool! and also to have the wolf desire for a den! they should have seen this coming!#what fools the programming team are lmao#and now Roxy and the Minis have a safe place to hang out!#hooray!!!

duke and fear gas..NOBODY LOOK AT MME!! fuck a basic ass "He's afraid that his parents might never recover" u wnna know what has more canon evidence? he's fucking terrified that when they do recover they won't recognize him. What happens when they see their son who cut his cornrows, who has 3 new piercings and towers over them with all sorts of scars litering his body that he can't even begin to explain. Even worse what if they're disappointed in him, what if he isn't what they expected or wanted from their son at all? what if his mannerisms are unrecognizable, his speech patterns, his interests and so on. what if they'd rather cling to a version of him that no longer exists
being forced to watch them live happy fulfilling lives from behind a glass screen because he cant envision fitting between them after he's changed so much
#his fears are like exacerbated by the gas and his own like doubts that he keeps deep down but WHWE#bcs obviously his parents should they recover would not gaf they love their kid no matter what but its like all throughout we are robin#and BatS hes like 'oh man im glad my parents cant see me rn im disappointing them so bad' hell when hes falling 2 his death b 4 bruce saves#him his last words are 'im sorry mom' bcs he knows she wouldn’t like the fact that hes been putting himself in danger#HELL WORLD#the signal#duke thomas#thought bubbles#AND THAT THE FUCKING KIVKER#he hasnt changed hes always been stubborn and willful even when he was little#hes always been reckless and willing to face danger if it meant someone elses safety#hes always been caring and forgiving hes changed BUT HE HASNT#do u see the vision

more side character designs now to the tune of the Kil sisters
#original#ocs#character design#art#artists on tumblr#Ciara Kil#Naomi Kil#you know what's fucked up? never heard the name ciara until a few months ago. it's pronounced with a hard c. like keera. that's fucked up#anyway her name isn't pronounced like that cause i said so. it's a soft c and you pronounce the i. see-are-ah#hard-c ciara doesn't fit her. soft-c ciara does. it's fantasy i do what i want. i makea the rules#anyway. needless to say im in love with them both#naomi especially im sorryyy she's so intricate. she's got so much little shit going on I heart her crazy style#shes very good at Doing Things Right but it is an active choice to do so. unlike Ciara who is just really naturally personable and likeable#and so even when she's a bit unkempt or pushy. she gets away with a lot because she's so damn easy to like#wheras naomi is A Choice. she Is Right not because she's likeable but because she puts effort into it#shes obsessed with her image (who else does that sound like? almost like they're products of the same environment or something)#shes Neat and Put Together and very formal. very traditional#and not just because of that but not helped by it she's very distant. just enough to be noticeable but not enough to alienate her#because since she's so curated elsewhere. everyone she's distant to assume that they're just not privy to whatever else is going on#they assume that SOMEONE is. and that someone just isnt them because they arent good enough. naomi has a way of putting herself in a place#where she is an unattainable goal. and that's all in her pursuit of Doing Things Right#i could talk about her for hours also. fucking love naomi#naomi and ciara and julian are all fun because they're all. So Different. but similar enough that if you look closely youre like...#yeah. yeah those three all came from the same place and you can TELL#even ciara who is generally more easygoing than the others. you can still Tell sometimes#case in point: she's stubborn as hell and not afraid to pick a fight to get what she wants#love her.

So my other obsession of the month is wheel of time and I saw episode 7 and boy o BOY do I have major thoughts and I need to get them out.
Siuan?? What the hell? Following LONG ass post is in defence of Siuan because the general consensus there is right now about Siuan just doesn't rhyme for me.
ONE thing all of Siuan actions did, it brought out SO MUCH .
Liandrin drew out 1 dark friend (Moiraines nephew) and he consequently got locked away (or killed).
One Forsaken showed herself to an entire city, no more hiding or denying (at least not from the Aes Sedai because there were like 14(!) there)
Siuan clearly has doubts about Verin and Verin acted exactly as expected (now I think Verin has a lot more going on but hey 🤷🏼♀️)
When Siuan shields Rand, she pushes Moiraine to say all of her intentions with Rand and their decades build plans in front off Rand as if he is not there. Which Moiraine does to protect Rand from Siuan.
Siuan asks Rand if he has channelled carefully and deliberately (not verbatim but this is the general idea), which he hasn't. She scolds him for it and says that he hasn't learned much in 6 months, which is absolutely true.
Which leads to:
Moiraine is shielded (something I do not think Lan figured out on his own) and subsequently released of said shield by Rand when she tells Rand that she trusts him. When last season Moiraine very clearly showed that she doesn't. Rand needed to hear that from Moiraine. It pushed Rand to actually use the one power very DELIBERATELY and CAREFULLY otherwise, Moiraine dead. Now who again scolded Rand about that I wonder hmmm 🤔
Which brings me to the following and perhaps most important point:
Rand now 100% trusts Moiraine, he believes Moiraine does want to protect and guide him to save the world, which previously he didnt. He was confused about what was going on and felt like a toy being played from all sides. Siuan put Moiraine in an impossible situation and Moiraine chose Rand, the dragon reborn because she knows that is the right thing to do. Rand needed to be shown Moiriane will give everything to save the world including turning away from Siuan and being made to do something she does not want (closing the gate).
It is VITAL that he does because Moiraine will be the only one capable of providing Rand the protection and guidance that he needs to save the world. He only does at the end of this episode, which is nearly at the end of this season. They already lost too much time. Drastic extreme measures are unfortunately required because Siuan was right, Moiraines way wasn't working.
At the end of this episode due to Siuans actions, he doesn't trust any Aes Sedai, which is good because you know Black Ajah and doesnt trust the Forsaken, but he very clearly does trust Moiraine, and that WILL set him on the right path.
If I can trust book readers, Siuan is a very powerful channeler. However, like Egwene, it's her intelligence that is actually her greatest power. She is a crazy smart woman and nowhere near as impulsive, brash and stubborn as Moiraine, aka Pufferfish.
Something that stuck by me is that Siuan said "you have given everything, Im going to row beside you now". Siuan knows Moiraine will absolutely not let her. Moiraine is like Nyneave in that way. She would rather die than let anyone she loves do that.
Siuan has given up a lot this episode and put power back with Moiraine, leaving herself incredibly vulnerable, having lost her one true ally, Moiraine. Going back to a tower filled with enemies, she's f*cked, and she knows it, but she needs Moiraine focused on her mission, not on Siuans' potential downfall. Because that will definitely be a distraction for Moiraine.
There is no way in hell a Master chess player like Siuan would move her pawns so early and openly like she seems to be doing in this episode. That is not Siuan. Everyone in WOT world, though, needs to believe that she is (including Moiraine).
#siuan sanche#wheel of time show#wheel of time tv series#wheel of time#moiraine damodred#moiraine x siuan#siuraine#siuaraine#siuan x moiraine#all theories of course#but im not buying that this is what she wants#caging rand#working against Moiraine#im not buying it#she is too smart and too commited to not only the shared cause Moiraine and Siuan have but also to Moiraine#there is a reason we saw exactly what we saw from Siuan and Moiraine in the opening#they are committed and they DO want the same way#Moiraine is not only more brash and impulsive but also#STUBBORN#as hell#but i guess we will only see#if my theory is correct next season#which is 2 effing years so ridiculous#anyways#big rant#over

i believe with all my heart that chrom and celica would be friends
#tactician's log#awakening#shadows of valentia#my two favorite fe lords tbh#there’s logic behind this i swear. he reminds her of alm and she reminds him of emmeryn#but they’re also so similar in some ways. they’re both stubborn as hell and willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve peace#and celica’s not above doing that at the point of a sword! she goes out of her way to storm grieth’s citadel after all#they can both be a little self-endangering about it too#chrom by refusing to distrust robin even when they’re obviously a danger and celica by literally selling her soul#which are kinda also opposite things if you think about it. anyway#i adore them#OH THEY ALSO BOTH HAVE SHITTY DADS WHO LED THEIR KINGDOMS TO RUIN

Sorry to complain on main but
i had (have) 3 fucking longfics planned and one of them is actively being written and it's so nauseating because i didn't think to write an outline from the beginning and just wrote the first few chapters the same way i write my shorter stuff (aka: Whatever The Hell Happens, Happens with very little planning) and now i'm suffering and wayy in over my head and honestly considering dropping the whole thing because other people have taken the same concept and done it better for a different ship and it's a genre i'm not typically versed in writing and every time i think of ways to fix it i just make it worse and more convoluted and now i'm just discouraged from working on it and feel like i've wasted 4 months of my fucking life. I swear i'm never doing this again but the other two projects are ones i'm very excited for and yet, i hate hate hate having to plan so much and figure out the minute details like i just want to give up. i open my google docs (all 7 of them) and look at the gargantuan amount that i have to complete before i can even remotely POST chapter 1 and it makes me want to puke. I dont know how you people do this
#'just write something else' Well I don't wanna write something else. I wanna finish this one. i'm just mad about it#just needed to bitch to people who will get it and not my fucking. Mom.#(because lets be honest. she won't care)#I can start things perfectly fine but finishing them is like pulling fucking teeth#but i'm too stubborn to drop it. and now i'm just Looking at it. not doing anything about it#If i can't finish the thing i'm doing for pleasure how am i supposed to finish College Essays man#indiposts#and yes. this too is about these things. my personal hell#Can someone take me behind the shed#I'll pay you#I am having a week.

Ok so I keep freaking out about if I can actually do this dog thing, if I’m actually enough. I love this dog dearly but i’m so exhausted all the time and that’s made worse this weekend by being sick. and I know that love is not enough to give a dog what she needs to be happy and healthy.
however. look. my big concerns are not being able to give her the exercise and stimulation she needs and wanting to be able to just Chill and cuddle my spouse and cats in calmness. and like. she’s almost certainly a great pyrenees mix. Relatively (as in, relative to other dogs I like, aka shepherds), she doesn’t need that much exercise. A good run in the yard a few times a day should do her, especially once she’s not so much of a puppy. And that’s the thing too— she’s a puppy. She’s excitable and chewy and a Lot because she’s 12mos old and still growing up. that takes time. and the cats are unhappy and won’t come cuddle— because she’s been here four days! they’re still adjusting!
i really need to take a step back and calm down. four days is not long enough to throw in the towel on this. she’s a puppy and we’re all adjusting but there is room in our lives for her. we can do this. i just need to fucking chill for maybe like five minutes and understand that this is an adjustment for the humans too, and that’s okay. I just need to chill.
#kit talks#she’s such a good dog y’all don’t even understand#she is SUCH a well behaved dog to both be a rescue from neglect and still a puppy (albeit an older puppy)#she’s a sweet and good girl and i just need to calm down and not be a perfectionist#this was a godawful time to get sick bc it’s shit my ability to cope with little things all to hell#i owe it to her and to myself to give it some time though. just have to give it some time#anyway i have like ten minutes til i have to get ready for work then i have GOT to try to not think about the dog today#so i don’t start crying at work lmfao#i’ll have enough to deal with due to still being sick and catching up from yesterday sigh#also i am increasingly sure she is def a pyr mix#she doesn’t have the long fur but the shape is there and the behaviors#quite territorial - not towards us or the cats but anyone who even looks at our property#very fucking stubborn. just Sits and Won’t Move if she doesn’t wanna do something#keep trying to train her and she looks at me like she completely understands what i mean by ‘down’#and just thinks it’s stupid and not worth the measley little treat i’m offering#and yet quite smart and likes puzzles and incredibly affectionate#still undecided what she’s mixed WITH but pyr seems very accurate

2nd- Gil insisted for Thena to go back to her home because it's not safe anymore but she doesn't want too, she said that Gil's home is her home. So Gil instructed her on what to do when Kro and his men come to their house. But Thena doesn't know that Gil has another plan, he called Makkari (who also happened to bring Ikaris) so she could get Thena away, Thena was hurt, she felt betrayed (it's the first time she felt it). They both had an argument, Gil's trying to be gentle and calm while explaining why he had to do it. But Thena just couldn't get it (knowing that she's still adjusting with how humans thinks) and still felt betrayed by him. Before they left she just stared at him, still worried on what might happen to him. And can you add Ikaris hissing on Gil before following the two after seeing her sister with teary eyes.
"No!"
"Thena, please," Gil attempted again, but Thena crossed her arms at him. "Angelfish-"
"Don't!" she snapped at him, her fangs bared as she glared at him. "It's one incident, Gil! You said yourself that it sounded like a 'nut job' made it!"
"Yeah, one nut job with a lot of money, Thena," Gil argued. They had never argued before--not like this. He had maybe had to tell her not to do this or that, but they had never fought like this. "And money can convince even sane people to do just about anything!"
Thena sighed, leaning against the kitchen counter the way she had seen him do. "You said I would be safe here, with you."
"I thought you would be," Gil ran his hand through his hair. "I want you to be, Thena. But if you're not safe here, then-"
"No!"
"Thena!" he groaned. "I don't like it either! But this is the only way to protect you--at least for now!"
Thena looked at him with those sea green eyes of hers, tears making them glassy. "You want to send me away."
"I don't want this, Angelfish," he whispered, going over to her and reaching for her hands. She turned away from him, and he pulled back as if she'd hissed at him. He looked at the kitchen floor between them. "I don't want to let you go. But if Kro shows up here again, I don't think he'll take no for an answer."
Thena sniffled, possibly a little confused about the water running down her cheeks.
"Angelfish, please," Gil whispered, holding her cheeks in his hands and brushing her tears aside with his thumbs. "I couldn't bear it if something happened to you. And that monster...if he gets his hands on you-"
Thena's eyes flashed, catching something at the end of the dock through the window. "What?"
Gil sighed. "I called her."
Thena's eyes sparked again. She pushed against his chest, shoving him away from her and rushing out of the kitchen.
"Thena!"
She stormed out of the house and down the hill to the dock, where she could see not only Makkari, but her brother. "What are you doing here?!"
Ikaris wasted no time, launching himself onto the dock. "We're leaving, Thena."
She turned from her brother to Gil, who skidded to a halt behind her. "So it would seem."
"I called out for Makkari," Gil professed, his hand on his chest. "I didn't want you to swim off alone--just in case Kro is already monitoring the area."
Makkari looked up at her with pleading eyes, let's go.
"Thena!" Ikaris barked at her, much less delicate about the high running emotions surrounding the situation.
Thena's tears returned, her fists clenched as she looked at Gil. "You called her before you even talked to me?"
Gil flinched. She was right, but it felt even worse for her to say it like that. "Yeah, I did."
Thena huffed, "oh, tough Mister Human will handle it all? It's my life on the line, but so long as you're the one making the decisions-"
"Thena-"
"No!" She kicked off the shoes she had been wearing in his direction. "By your own insistence, let's go, then!"
Gil walked over as Thena threw herself into the water. He knelt down on the dock, although she threw his soaked shirt back up to his face.
Ikaris gave him a look that would make kelp wither and dry in an instant. He gave him a glare and a hiss before joining his sister in the water.
Gil clutched the wet mass of fabric to him, enduring the glares of all three mermaids looking at him. "Just for now, Angelfish."
"Don't," Ikaris glared at him, already ushering his sister away from the human causing her such strife. "You're lucky I'm not drowning you as we speak."
Yeah, he believed that Ikaris would if he ever got the chance again.
"Thena," Gil pleaded, kneeling down on the dock again. Even if she didn't want to hear it, and even if Ikaris wanted to try and drown him with his bare hands. "I promise I'll call for you, Angelfish. I promise-"
Makkari thrashed her tail in his direction, dousing him with water again. Let's go, Thena.
Makkari disappeared first, although clearly didn't go far. Ikaris put a hand on Thena's shoulder, ready to push her if necessary.
She gave Gil one last sad look (just to really drive a rusty dagger through his heart, it felt like). "Goodbye, Gil."
He gripped the post of the dock, leaning as far forward as he could, "just for now."
"Goodbye."
#Thenamesh Mermaid AU#pt 2#the aNGST#Gil hates to do it#hates making his poor little Angelfish so unhappy#I wanted their argument to have real 'married couple' vibes#they're not the couple that fights a lot#but they're both stubborn as hell#Makkari and Ikaris are immediately like#you don't need him!#you don't have to ever see that human again!#thank the seven seas#they immediately start talking shit about him#and Thena goes and curls up somewhere#Makkari is like leave this to me#She rubs Thena's back#who needs humans?#Thena: Gil is not just any human#who needs--I do! I need human--one human--THAT human!#Makkari is forced to face the realisation that Thena is genuinely in love with this human...dude#she has no idea how to proceed#Ikaris is too dense for it#he's like...will killing the human not end the infatuation?#Makkari: ...bringing you with me was a mistake

My 3 y/o -very cute, granted- fearless terror of a niece after I told her to mind the wires : "no I'm not paying attention but don't worry about it i'm not going to die"
#people keep telling good luck to her parents because of the sass#she's three#i can't wait for her teenage years#she's also absolutely reckless and bossy with her classmates#she says they're babies because she thinks they don't talk or do stuff well#she taunts her older brother all the time#she acts all shy and sweet at school so they don't know she's a hellion#she's an absolute lying liar#one time she kept crying she hadn't bitten her brother when there were her baby teeth marks on his arm#she's sneaky af and her mom had to grill her for an hour for her to admit she cut a few hairs on her dog when her parents eventually noticed#she has her brother and her dog wrapped around her finger#she's stubborn as hell and will propably go far

Afflicted with Thoughts (character who’s forced themself to be rough and callous looking at someone they care for so much deeper than they’d be willing to admit and. Wanting. Craving their touch. A hand held, or a brush of the elbow, anything. They’d burn the world for a hug if that’s what it took. But. That would mean admitting to that soft, wounded thing under all the shrapnel and metal. So they just. Sit. And look. And hope so desperately that the other would be inspired to initiate something.)

@eglerieth replied to your post: Hello! I am here to ask about your Dior headcanons…
What’s your Galadriel headcanon?
Oh man, I didn’t see this!! Thank you for asking, i fully did not expect anyone to actually get far enough into the Dior post to see that let alone actually want to know. Sorry I’m two days late!
So! What we know about Galadriel in the Silmarillion:
She hated Fëanor but thought being a queen sounded pretty sweet/desired power
She’s named as one of the leaders of the Noldor across the Helcaraxë
Instead of founding her own kingdom (like she’d explicitly originally wanted) or moving in with her brother she got married and stayed in Doriath and learned a lot from Melian
Eventually Melian was like “hey so you should explain the weird ominous evil metaphysical cloud i can see hanging over the Noldor so i can explain about it to my husband bc he should really learn about whatever happened before it blows up in everybody’s faces” and Galadriel was like “yeah he probably should but i’m not telling”
At some point Galadriel asked Finrod why he wasn’t married yet
One time Melian casually foreshadowed Beren’s existence to Galadriel, who has no recorded response
That’s it. That’s literally all we know about what she was up to. She was super jazzed about the prospect of Ruling A Kingdom and then made friends with a queen and learned a bunch from her and… was still alive after the War of Wrath, and in between we have nothing.
We don’t know how she survived the Second Kinslaying, we can assume she made it to the Havens of Sirion but don’t know how she survived the Third Kinslaying let alone what she did/where she went after that… we don’t know what her reaction was to the death of her only remaining family member in Middle-earth, for which her cousins and the great-uncle in whose kingdom she lived were both partially responsible…
Like, that's weird, right? Galadriel is firmly established as someone bold and interested in being a ruler and stubborn as all get out, and then she… does nothing and everybody seems to forget she exists for several hundred years and some major political upheavals that should have personally affected her? It's not just me? That's really weird?
So, my Galadriel headcanon is that she’s inexplicably absent for most of the Quenta Silmarillion because she was deliberately erased/left out by the scribes writing things down because there was no way to acknowledge her presence in Doriath during and after Beren & Lúthien’s whole everything without getting into the messiest bit of Sindar-Noldor political tension that didn’t involve the Fëanorioni, because (again, headcanon) Galadriel Did Not Respond Well to her uncle getting her brother killed as a side effect of trying to get her cousin’s boyfriend killed and there was A Lot Of Tension for a while there (when you’ve got that kind of interpersonal tension between people who are both essentially Political Figures, i figure it’s probably going to turn into political tension unless they’re both trying very very hard to avoid that and potentially even then)
…and then after Thingol’s death a few years later, I think one of the primary contenders for Next Ruler of Doriath was Galadriel “Well I Came Here For A Kingdom In The First Place” Granddaughter-of-Olwë and also her husband is related to Thingol* and Lúthien’s clearly removed herself from contention so if the Sindar want a monarch who’s actually related to the last one they both qualify, it’s perfect and obviously Galadriel should be the next queen of Doriath (it is not obvious to everyone)
* on a side note, Celeborn is mentioned twice in the Quenta Silm: #1, Galadriel stays in Doriath because she’s marrying a “kinsman of Thingol,” while #2, shortly after Thingol’s death, Celeborn is referred to as a “prince of Doriath.” Not actual evidence, but it sure fits in nicely!
Like I said in the Dior post, I don’t think anything ever came to outright surface-level conflict; a civil war in Doriath is not getting left out of the Silmarillion. Tension between Galadriel and Thingol, though? and then between Galadriel and [various other contenders for the throne after Thingol, potentially including Dior himself when he arrived] that had everyone a little nervous? when she didn’t become queen and did (however begrudgingly) accept that Dior was the closest thing to a consensus pick and did survive the next several thousand years only to finally wind up as functional queen of most of the remaining Sindar despite eschewing the actual title? That I can see getting diplomatically left out of the histories, and explaining why she’s completely during the parts of the story where you’d think she’d be most involved.
#eglerieth#replies#lotr#character: galadriel#the silmarillion#listen i love galadriel more than words can express but so much of what's interesting about her is her character development#we know her best from LOTR as one of the oldest wisest most powerful most respected people in all of middle-earth#and she started as this stubborn willful power-hungry kid?#it's been a long time since i first read the silmarillion but i still remember discovering that and how it blew my mind#so while i do think all of this makes sense as An explanation for her disappearance from the text#part of why it's *my* explanation of choice is that i love that that's where she started and i think it's a shame we don't get to see more#of first age galadriel being this complicated messy figure who makes her third age self look all the more amazing#bc how the hell did she get there from here#so it works out so nicely if part of the reason we don't know more about early galadriel being Complicated™...#is just how Complicated™ early galadriel was#anyway the main thing i have realized in writing this & the dior post is holy shit i think about the silmarillion too much#i have. so many thoughts and opinions that i have never discussed with anyone and i don't even know what i actually need to explain#/what facts & opinions i need to establish as context for the stuff i'm actually trying to talk about#guessing the answer is "a whole bunch that i didn't‚ but not like half the things i *do*'' but i genuinely do not know!

yesterday i was fine and today. i am sick of this shit
#i think cooking with my dad is a kind of hell on earth#making comments the whole time while he doesn't know anything or do anything. being stubborn#decades of marriage to this man should turn anyone into a homicidal maniac.. anyway whatever we've got a metric tonne of pasta now#mom's at the theater‚ my sister said she would help and then slept through the. cooking#i'm sick of the government propaganda on the tv i'm fucking sick of it always being turned on#i'm sick of dumb comedies and action movies and of having to watch the things i want to watch alone on my laptop#i'm even sick of what i normally like. there are places where all you can do is breathe in the mold#kata.txt

*walks in covered in blood* i finished first penguin. i reaaaaally really loved it oh my goddd all these peepaws being so dramatic and sulking wow grow up.. IWASAKI WAHHHH she was so cool and so awesome and so smart and she helped so much oh my god and she problem solved and and and WAHHHHH i think my fave parts were when she got Very Loud i kept saying damn girl at my screen each time she put her foot down UGH and the conflicts and the solutions and the AUUGHHHHHH. anyways loved it why am i sobbing over the ending though.
BRO MFINISHED IT HELLO ??? ?? IM S GLAD YOU FINISHED IT- AND SO QUICK JESUS CHRIST--
BUT YEAAAASSSSSS YES I LOVE IWASAKI THIS AN IWASAKI STAN CLUB !!!!! i LOVE LOVE LOVE how patient and fair she generally is but she also doesn't allow people to do whatever they want. BUUUTT I ALSO LOVE how on top of correcting people in that passive-aggressive way, she isn't afraid to get ABSOLUTELY irate and really let someone have it- IT'S JUST SO GOOD and i NEVER really see it with lady protags so i was a HUUGE fan whenever it happened
ENDING WAS SO TWISTED THO MAAADDDD UNFAIR TO IWASAKI (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) like i GUESS she did was she was paid to do in the end but..... THATS HER FAM CMON NOW (;´༎ຶx༎ຶ`)
i fuckin. LOVE the fishermen they deadass collectively share exactly ONE (1) brain cell and it's frustrating sometimes but it's also the stupidest and cutest thing i ever seen (╯▽╰ ) THE BIT IN LIKE- EP 3 I THINK WHERE THEY'RE ALL CHASING AFTER IWASAKI TO APOLOGIZE ALWAYS MAKES ME GIGGLE THO i think of it far too often for my own good its so cute... like Goddamn They Really Are A Batch Of Penguins...
#snap chats#THEY'RE SO SILLYYYYYYY //rips my hair out and eats my fingers//#THE CONFLICTS AND RESOLUTIONS WERE SO SATISFYING THO RIGHT ??? LKE UGH THINGS JUST FELL INTO PLACE SO NICELY#i really love how there's SUCH pushback against iwasaki in the beginning tho LIKE GOOD. THATS WHAT I EXPECT !!!#it really does feel as though she earned her progress and that's what makes her victories soo satisfying#because the show really does not waste a moment to demonstrate how hard she's working despite her circumstances#and ofc with that in mind it does make you want to strangle the fishermen at first because its like YOOU. MOTHERFUCKERS#but with the drama's theme being about The First Penguin it also does a good job to remind you they're not only uneducated in all this#but they're also incredibly scared to try and do somethin new- and we know old people cmon they're stubborn as rocks#which is what makes it sweet when they DO start to come around- even if hiro flip flops like a fish out of water for FUCKS SAKE--#hiro's funny as hell for that im not gonna even lie. again his flip-flopping is frustrating but Again 2x i understand his fears#JUST AAAGGGHH I CAN TALK ABOUT FIRST PENGUIN FOR HOURS ITS JUST SO GOOD......#AND LEST I FORGET THE UTTER BAGNER THAT IS ITS CREDITS THEME FUCK#WITH ALL THAT SAIDJVLKAJVK thank you for taking the time to watch it !!! im real glad to hear you enjoyed it as much as i did (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)#gigglnig and kicking my feet thinking of first penguin now i should rewatch it again (╯▽╰ )
