And by god is it amazing.#I don't want to spoil anything! But if you like amazing art and character writing *and* high seas adventure? READ TIGER TIGER.#If you asked my who my favourite character is I could not tell you. I truly like them all!!!#I even like the sleezeball who has less charm than a dead rat. He's *my* darling little rat man. With every disease.#A special shout out to my lad (he is the lad of all time) Jamis Arlesi.#Who - upon walking into frame makes me go 'Sir! Is your bosom too heavy?

Daniel with Shyla pre- vs. post-sarcophagus addiction
#what shyla does to him is truly and thoroughly deeply fucked up if you think about it. anyway more meta in the tags below lol#stargate#sg-1#daniel jackson#shyla#michael shanks#s2#ep5#2.5#***edits#love love love how they showed his descent in this ep#the transition from gentle and patient and considerate danny into a smarmy swaggering piece of shit#also as deeply fucked up as what shyla does is you almost get it???#like she's so lonely and isolated at the beginning of the episode she tries to commit suicide#and there's daniel saving her! she's never had anyone except her mother who died and her abusive father so of course she gets attached#and she is prepared to do ANYTHING to keep him because she's isolated and naive and yeah it's really fucked up and she becomes the abuser#and in order to try to keep him she changes him so drastically from the man she actually liked. because she's young and isolated and stupid#and when after all she put him through he STILL comes back to help her and it's THAT that spurs her to change her entire civilization#to break the cycle her father started#all because daniel first saved her and then forgave her#my VERY GOOD BOY!!!!!

[start i.d.: a drawing of adult karna from the ravening war. she stands in profile, her arms stiff at her side, staring straight ahead. end i.d.]
thought too hard about the foils of jet and karna. take my hand. here’s a karna
#karna solara#hi aabria#the ravening war#dimension 20#a crown of candy#my art#digital art#just think about it like. if jet were to meet karna it would shatter her worldview entirely#karna in concept sounds like jets ideal of a Scrappy Battle Hardened Girl but without any of the valor jet dreams of#and perhaps jet would see some of ruby in karna. and maybe that makes her realize how naive she truly is#just. listen

i'm going to hold everyone's hands when i say this: if a creator you love is Christian or Mormon and purposefully does not disclose their beliefs on politics or human rights, you need to assume it's for a reason 👀
and i'm sure that sounds harsh to some people but think about it: if they really cared about the LGBTQ community, or women's rights, immigrants, the environment, etc and they had a huge platform to make change, why would they be silent about it *all* the time?
literally the only argument you can make for them is that they don't want to lose followers and eyeballs, aka lose money, aka they WANT to appeal to people who might not give a shit about those things, including your humanity. and I would encourage you to ask yourself, how does that make them any better than those people?
edit: and yes I get that sometimes you just want a break and don't want political content. there's nothing wrong with that, and it's a case by case thing for sure. but in the case of absurdly rich, conservative lifestyle influencers, I just feel like we should want to know who we're giving our money and attention to.
also all the people that got mad at me for insinuating that Nara Smith's whole bit is rooted in truth....... not to say told you so lol but...
#i get that she looks very non-trad and it's easy to just not think about like truly i do#and i don't honestly think she is actually living the life of a trad mormon but i do think it's absolutely naive to believe that 2 absurdly#rich mormons who benefit from that belief system don't vote Trump lol#it's just like the ballerina farm thing. their wealth insulates them from reality#Nara Smith#mormonism

Needing a Sua perspective from the ALNST auditions to Round 1. I never put much thought into what happens to the cast post-Anakt Garden graduation (do they immediately go to the auditions? Is there a period of time where they dont see each other until they recognize each other at the audition? Theres a considerable amount of time between the auditions and their Alien Stage season, did they see each other often between then or...? etc.), but regardless, imagine being her and having to choose between sabotaging your own audition so you dont have to go the the Sing, Win, or Die Show or putting your in your all in hopes of winning and spending just a bit more time with this girl you love because you know itll likely be the last time you see her. Imagine...
#dee p thoughts#alien stage#alnst#vivinos#like. not as if life wouldve been sunshine and rainbows if sua failed the audition and never went on alien stage hashtag Im a Pet to Aliens#but like. sua was definitely more in the know. Im not the type to believe mizi was completely naive but I think mizi may have bought into#the idea that dying Wasnt That Bad due to what she was taught and her trust in her owners...until round 1- maybe mizi was confident she'd#truly win and/or her owners praised and made her feel so. sua: ''My dream is Mizi's dream. (paraphrased)'' etc etc#maybe it was the dream of mizi's owners that mizi wanted to fulfill or mizi just wanted to impress her owners in return for their care...#but sua knew. she knew it would either be she never sees mizi again whether she dies or achieve such fame that sua could never reach her...#or sua can spend a little time with her. whatever they have left. whether it was her or mizi the likelihood of them ever seeing each other#again... because mizi is intent on this. she is going to join alien stage. she is going to pass the auditions because she is so dazzling.#...I need to be with her.#I think considering the ivan and sua comic anakt garden may be a pipeline to alien stage? its functionally a music school iirc so I think i#at least gives them a leg up and humans are put into anakt garden with at least some intention of having them try out for alien stage-#but nonetheless I imagine there was a liminal space where none of the cast really knew where their lives were going post-anakt garden.#not that they have much choice in the matter but still dalkjdalkbn- that liminal space mustve been a dark time for majority of them#because well. their owners. and they couldnt meet each other and may never meet again...#regarding the time between the auditions and their alien stage season I imagine its funnily a lot of. training. pr vocals visuals...#they have autographs despite them all potentially dying quickly they had them draft and practice and perfect autographs guys adjlkbnadlfkjf#the look mizi and sua shared in sweet dream when they both passed the auditions together...AUGH.....

im a eurydice = solas truther btw and ill die for my beliefs
be so serious........ and lavellan as orpheus......
#I NEED TO BE LOBOTOMIZED. TRULY.#i dont even know where to start i feel like i cant even post abt this bc theres no way all my thoughts can fit coherently lol#like the 2nd act/hadestown soul-selling business is just solas committing to his goals....#who would win eurydice/solas ''i walk the dinan'shiral - there is only death on this journey'' or orpheus/lavellan walking it anyway lol#to find them and bring them home again#also if the solas-is-a-spirit-that-mythal-bound theory turns out true then the hades = mythal parallels well. they are parelleling <3#''And the choice is yours / if you're willing to choose / Seeing as you've got nothing to lose / And I could use a canary'' HELLO????#ik the other popular interpretation is solas as orpheus but idk solas/eurydice just makes me crazy . it works so well#like theres that one interaction thats like#eurydice: “i havent seen a spring or fall since.... i cant recall”#orpheus "thats what im working on / a song to fix what's wrong / take whats broken#make it whole / a song so beautiful / it brings the world back into tune''#and thats very solas coded. BUT its also such a good parellel to high approval lavellan's fixing the world thru the inquisition/anchor#and thru their kindness and curiosity and all the things he thought were lost in arlathan. the things that make him think maybe shes Real#and it could all be real and worthwhile.#solas recognising the depth and personhood of lavellan thru their [from his pov endearingly naive] actions and spirit#''i havent seen a spring or fall since...i cant recall'' / ''you show a wisdom i have not seen since.... since my deepest journeys into the#ancient memories of the fade'' what if i lost my entire goddamn mind. what if i just completely lost it lol#ok im done im so sorry i feel like harrassing every single person ive ever met with this information like idek what to do with myself lol

#she loved him a great deal it's sooo sad 2 me#there's a bit of a tenor in this fandom where's very condescendingly thought of as naive (if she isn't called a manipulative fixer upper#lol)#but i don't think any of that is true#and she's so wary and i think even a little afraid when she sees him again in s6 but there's also genuine pity there#literally the only thing she's genuinely naive about is arthur himself but i don't think this is something she's really to blame for either#it's not like he wasn't showing her his good sides that made her believe that this life she was envisioning was truly possible

also, the science fiction vibe that burrow's end is building up to is extremely cool and i love it so much
#my favorite kind of scifi lately is where its almost magical bec of a lack of understanding of the mysterious forces#and the slow revelation and understanding of the systems that govern the world#are fantasy and scifi truly that different or is it just a matter of aesthetics#but regardless#this is some cool shit and i fucking love it#and the characters moving in a way that is not just naive happy family??? i live for that shit#like its wild to think that tula might be the most naive adult#when she appears to be the most grounded#viola being calculating with her pregnancy?? some dune bene gesserit shit if ive ever seen it#the cult??? we dont even know that much about what they actually did??? what developments have they made???#grandma is genrational trauma but also WHAT HAS SHE SEEN#the kids are super cute tho and that tracks as a pair of young protagonists who will eventually be the key to /shifting the paradigm/#and THE FUCKING BUNKER FILLED WITH STOATS WHO HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT#d20 spoilers#burrow's end spoilers#damn thats a lot of tags#thoughts various

Flashback to my freshman year of college, when I (pretty much literally) called my future husband "just some guy," and the guy I locked eyes with across a crowded room like some kind of period drama turned out to be a total creep...
#LIFE IS FUNNY is what I'm saying I guess#You truly just never know#And also: Young Stella was very naive and also VERY INDIGNANT when told she was naive#😂#Mr 'Instant Attraction' was also the one also tried to make Future Husband promise he wouldn't 'go after' me#Like some sort of gentleman's agreement to 'save their friendship' or something. 🙄#I still cannot believe there was this much drama in my Actual Life. Haha!

new emotion unlocked it’s called tracy chapman fast car 3am breakdown
#idk if it’s just bc i havent updated this app in literally like idk 5 years or if everyone has this#but if someone likes or reblogs an old post and you click on it itll send you to your own blog and show you#your own suggested posts on your own blog but like old posts. idk i’m sure everyone can do that but anyway#everytime some random person likes a super old post i click on it then i go down these rabbit holes or reading my own posts from like 2013#or 2016 or whenever and it’s like god. it’s truly like time traveling bc i read those posts and i’m like i do not remember typing that#but i Do like i was there but was i like u know what i mean and i just get engulfed in reading my own personal posts trying to figure out#what the fuck i was complaining about that day and then i also remember how much happier i was then even though i wasnt but like idk idk.#it’s just the nostalgia bait and i know it but also is it lmao like. id go back in a heartbeat#then i read my own posts talking about my dogs and i want to die or i read about me talking about my ex and i want to die#or just anything like i’m addicted to just looking back into the past just helpless like i can’t warn this bitch about anything#that’s going to happen and she was so clueless she was sooooo naive like she couldve fixed everything and yet.#anyway yeah it’s literally 3am and i have fast car on repeat so no i’m not okay goodnight <3

"the dems are pro-genocide" "harris is just as supportive of genocide as biden" and what. do you think. the republicans think. of american imperialism and genocide? please. do let me know.
#the machine is working as intended. i cannot stress to you all enough. this is what america does.#this is what america did in korea. this is what america did in vietnam. this is what america does in the caribbean.#this is really and truly just what american imperialism does. this is not an aha gotcha moment.#this is the core of american politics. this is the intent and purpose of american imperialism. this is not new.#this is not new information. ok? i need everyone to understand this. it is not new information that american politicians#support american imperialism and by extension american-funded and -fueled genocide.#acting as though whoa if we vote harris into office she'll just continue the genocide!!! and what do you think trump will do?#what do we all think trump will do if he is in office? trump? the guy who is notorious for loving brown people?#especially those in other countries? right. right. right. ok. right.#yes absolutely be aware of the pitfalls and issues with american politics/politicians/the democratic party but ohhhh my god#genuinely really and truly sick of people going 'this is who you're voting for!!1!1! she's no better than genocide joe!!1!1!!'#IT'S HARRIS OR TRUMP BABY. AND AMERICAN POLITICIANS HAVE BEEN ENACTING GENOCIDE IN EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD. FOR DECADES.#quite frankly not only is it fucking tiring for people to be acting as though there's some nuanced unproblematic third option#but it's just as fucking tiring to be acting like this is new. or somehow a revelation. jesus christ.#we still don't know how many korean civilains us soldiers massacred during the korean war. the number is in the tens of thousands.#conservatively. 30-40.000.#but we just don't know. but oh of course! of course this is new information that america commits atrocities in other countries!#of course this is new information that is only relevant now!!!!!#get the fuck out of here.#we just have to pick the better option and hope that we can slowly change one step forward at a time. there is no way to vote that#somehow changes or erases the fact that this is what american imperialism does.#fucking tiring that some ppl have the privilege of pretending otherwise.#jesus christ. how naive. how hopeless. how cruel. the families of nogun-ri are still lobbying for reparation.#and americans will act as though it's new information that american imperialism is a machine that chews countries up and spits them out#for the imf and foreign (american) corps to profit from.#god.#2024#croidhe#the death loop

2024 reads / storygraph
Masquerade
historical fiction set in 15th century West Africa
follows a young woman from Timbuktu, recently conquered by the the warrior king of Yorùbáland
her guild of blacksmiths were already shunned as witches, and their conditions worsen under Yorùbá rule - so when she’s kidnapped by the king to be his wife, she decides to accept that it’ll be a better life for her, as long as she can get her mother’s blessing
but as months go by without her mother being found, and political tensions rise, she must decide what she wants
#masquerade#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#ahh... I enjoyed this in the beginning but I ended up being SO frustrated by the MCs decisions and inconsistencies.#click the storygraph link above to read all my thoughts tbh im not gonna copy everything in here#she’s like man this guy kidnapped me and is drugging me and treats me like an object and probably is lying about trying to find my mother :#well I should definitely try and uncover and tell him about this uprising happening under his nose so I can help him trust me!#she tells us she’s desperate for freedom and safety and autonomy and yet she’s doing so much to stay with this man who#she’s AWARE is NOT giving her autonomy AND she doesn’t give a fuck about anyone else’s freedom or autonomy?#she doesn’t even WONDER about the slave revolts or blacksmith strikes other than how can she stop them?#she’s naive and innocent but she’s also viewed as this brilliant military strategist and cunning at court politics#other than these moments she’s very naive and doesn’t make any obvious connections about what the other women#or her mother are up to (which considering the amount of speeches about men underestimating women she makes……okay)#thing is like there was some great setup to go in some really interesting directions!#if you wanted to go down the route of her goals making her singlemindedly ruthless and selfish and morally grey and rising to power#then commit to that! make her investigate the revolution and give her a reason to betray them anyway.#if you want to make it like she TRULY had no choice in becoming what she did (because any attempt to escape or connect#with the revolution had tragic consequences) then do that! But she like…..never tried anything.#She just accepted everything and tried to help the king because…I don’t even know!#if you like hades and perspephone you won’t like this. if you don’t like hades and persephone you won’t like this.#(i thought it had just been inaccurately compared to H&P - not written to reference H&P)#agh. it could have been good!

moments like this when im really glad im a sad little cynic who always considers the worst possible outcome and never lets herself truly get comfortable and trust the good things in her life to stay there and builds her life around trying to soften the blows of the eventual disappointments just waiting around the corner lol never leaving my edgy teenager era peace and love
#i mean if the alternative is whatever the fuck is going on with my best friend rn then hooooo boy#cancelling therapy immediately i never want to change i wanna keep my trust issues forever and ever if its gonna save me from THIS#is he a dick? kinda. yeah. and a coward because if dude was sure he didnt want it since AUGUST and didnt have the guts to end it till now#actually he didnt end it. she was the one who finally snapped. but we seriously fought twice before because she just woudlnt listen#when i said that girl this isnt gonna work and you trust him too much and you're attachment styles are incompatible as hell#your*#but nvm. the least you could do when a 7 years younger girl who's clearly obsessed with you is breaking up with you#cause she just cant take it anymore. and you can see she's still in love with you because you've been lying to her for half a year.#imo the least you could do at that point is just. dont tell her that jfc. just say you're sorry it didnt work out etc etc#dont fucking tell her you stopped being in love with her in fucking august#and just 'didnt know how to end it' and lied when she asked if everything's alright#like my god. yes ig this would never have happened if she hadn't trusted him so completely and expected love to fix her whole life#but jesus dude. she's not even 23 she has a right to be naive. you're almost 30. you DONT get to be a man child anymore#christ. okay.#anyway i wish i could help her but telling her to 'trust less' and 'never truly rely on other people' sounds horrible and cringe and edgy af#but i genuinely dont have any other advice#like babygirl im sorry but your bestie is a piece of human garbage and she's doing the best she can but her best is Not Much alas

1 day i will make a meta of sansa's dynamic with her metaphorical champions/suitors & how that correlates to the ashford theory (i.e sansa being betrothed to joffrey baratheon, then promised to willas tyrell, then being married to tyrion lannister, then being married to harry hardying then married to aegon vi targaryen & aurane velaryon but it is not this day. lmao. when i make that meta it'll be so over for y'all.
#just know that. she never marries after aurane. btw lmao#like if he like g-d forbid ever died before she did she'd like. literally never marry or love again like. thats it lmfao#but anyway like. she has a complicated relationship w/ all of them tbh & reflects on them sometimes.#she obviously hates joffrey for him abusing her but like. she can't help but feel sad for him at times bc like. he was so young.#if he had the right people around him maybe he would've turned out okay eventually. but it didnt happen. she never met willas but sometimes#she wondered what it would've been like to be lady of highgarden but she hopes he's doing alright. her dynamic w/ tyrion is. complicated#like. he was never like openly cruel to her or anything & she's grateful to him for saving her life & standing up for her but like.#there's always that grief surrounding their families & i think she resented & mostly afraid of him at the time but in hindsight she's+#grateful that he never hurt her or forced himself on her. harry she hardly knew unfortunately but like she disliked him at first#but then he actually seemed to warm up to her & she had him tied around her lil finger but she knows that she wouldn't like to be married+#to a guy who actually has children w/ sb else. like. she's seen how that played out & while she wouldn't be mean it makes her uncomfortable#but especially surrounding aegon bc like. she's not naive enough to say she loved him but like. she actually LIKED him#like. while she was wary of him at first she warmed up to him & genuinely respected him as a person & most importantly aegon was her FRIEND#they got along rly well due to their similar upbringings & what they had to do to survive & like. he's actually a decent guy in canon. lmao#he's handsome & was chivalrous & honorable & sweet w/ her but also like batshit insane in a good way. like.#he was the golden prince she always wanted since she was a little girl; the prince that joffrey was supposed to be but never was.#he gave her a future as queen of westeros that was originally HERS. so when daenerys eventually executes him she has mixed feelings about i#aegon was good to her & she'd vowed not to betray him & she actually intended to keep that vow. to her she was forever in his debt+#he gave her a future from her isolation & suffering @ winterfell bc of how much everything changed & he waited for her to love him back.#he actually showed her respect & gave her a solid future when she felt alone & abandoned & led her gently into a world of his own making+#& gave her back her honor & a future. esp when the north was divided between jon rickon & herself. most preferred jon or rickon over her.#without aegon's intervention she probably would've had to marry some northern lord below her station. the winterfell succession crisis wild#but aurane velaryon? that's the love of her life. her bold captain. he taught her how to love & coaxed her in the sun to bloom & freed her.#freed her from the chains of her family obligations. he taught her to break the rules of tradition & follow her heart & trust her instincts#he was there with her in her darkest hour. he quite literally saved her life & defended her honor when no one else had the balls to do that#no one looks @ or touches her the way aurane does she loved him madly truly & deeply he took her girlhood in his stride but when autumn cam#she escaped & had to push him into the deepest recesses of her mind in the name of survival & pragmatism but she never stopped loving him.#& his sweet memory brought too much heartache & bittersweetness for her. she lowkey waited for him for years. & they EVENTUALLY reunited !#he fought & got legitimized for HER. she's. so genuinely happy w/ that man. he's one of her best friends & the father to her children.

Made a little drawing that definitely didn't take me a few hours to do (thank god it's black & white)
This is what my Tav would've been saying at the beginning 100%. Not fully understanding vampirism due to the tadpole blocking the rest of the negatives and not considering blood drinking as a danger almost permanently as my Tav fully trusts Astarion wouldn't hurt them on purpose.
Astarion is probably listening in nearby being all like "Perfect, easy to manipulate, naive AND lacks in self preservation!" >:D
#Oh#so naive and so easy to manipulate#Astarion truly hit jackpot with this one#I got a bunch more sketched ideas#but idk when or if I'll draw them#Anyhow#this is my Tav#She wears black despite being a bard#We're having lotsa fun#BG3#bg3 Astarion#baldur's gate 3#Astarion#bg3 shadowheart#shadowheart#elis art#art

hey btw nothing will make me immediately start ugly sobbing like the rocket man scene from everything sucks
#lord. LORDDD.#i also think its so interesting that while kates whole character is finding herself in the midst of Truly Dealing with her mothers death an#like. truly living for the first time with the fact that she doesnt have a mother during the years when she's developing as a person#her dads character has seemingly like#moved on#throughout the whole show#bc its established from the beginning that her death happened 10 years prior? so like it Makes Sense#and the entire time hes presented as this Happy Go Lucky guy who just wants to be there for his daughter and is a little silly and naive#sometimes#and like yeah hes struggling a bit when it comes to raising his daughter and finding love again but not any more than any other single#parent would!#and THEN#all of a sudden#he and kates boyfriend get her to play a song on the piano for them#bc they love her and want to see her in her element!!!!#and right from the beginning its established that the song shes going to play is very personal to her and her dad. they dont even divulge#details. he just says- 'youre gonna play moms song?' and she says 'yeah. is that okay?' and he says 'yeah.' and its fine#and then she plays and sings this BEAUTIFUL rendition of rocket man by elton john on the piano. and good GOD is he keeping it together for#her. but hes not smiling anymore!!!!! and the camera is cutting between her who is tearing up but Not Crying because she cant fucking cry b#SHE chose to do this and thats lame and embarrassing or whatever and then it fucking cuts back to him. during the lines 'i miss the earth s#much / i miss my wife'#good LORD nothing broke me faster#and then he just gets up. and leaves to go to the kitchen. during his daughters song- someone he has been TRYING SO HARD to be there for#while she continuously pushes him away bc of her own fears#and he fucking walks away bc he knows hes gonna break down and he cant do that in front of his daughter and who does he call?? WHO DOES HE#CALL????? the woman he had recently gone on a few dates with who likes him for Him who is helping him relearn what it means to be in love#and experience life without fear and she doesnt even pick up it just goes to voicemail and he KNOWS its just gonna go to voice mail her#voice just comforts him#all while rocket man is softly playing in the background#my roman empire
