#she was insanely brave

[p34ce0fm1nd]

lowkey i ship lady raven and cooper.

the way he commanded her was wild. him holding onto her shoulder was driving me insane.

their height difference had me gagged.

when cooper whispered in her ear to not try anything.

lady raven being able to stand up to cooper in spite of all these things. she outsmarted him.

i wonder what would’ve happened if cooper was able to drive them away.

him telling her to put on the ties. i must know more.

Sae Niijima is such a good character it drives me insane a little. She's not a mother nor a maternal or doting older sister but instead a twenty four year old who was thrown into a position of responsibility that she never asked for. She loves Makoto just as much as she resents her and its so apparent every time they talk up until November. "Are you studying?" (I want you to do well) (I need you to get a job and stop making my life harder) "I'll use any method necessary to get this promotion" (Life will be easier for us) (So stop distracting me with your problems) "Focus on your future" (I know that you're capable) (I can't afford to waste my time on you, so stop wasting time on others)

Makoto is not only the sole reason she pushes as hard as she does for a promotion, for success, and the reason that she loses herself in her animosity over her fathers death, but also someone she can't stand for so long. Makoto was 14-15 when their father died. Sae was 21. As soon as she got the career she wanted and things started to look up, her stability was robbed from her and she was disillusioned with the system that her father had taught her to rely on and completely adhere to. How do you manage, the daughter of a cop, following his footsteps towards law enforcement, when you're suddenly reminded of how unfair it is? You can't quit, your little sister relies on you and she's so young and struggling just as badly with this grief. So you pick yourself up and you get moving again. You push harder, press further. You abandon your morals and your ethics because punishing criminals (guilty or not) is almost like punishing the man who killed your father.

And the whole time she's fighting for promotions, going for drinks with the SIU Director to make herself more favourable for promotions, trying to navigate being a woman in a competitive, suffocating, male-dominated field, falling behind despite doing so much where others are promoted for doing so little - all the while your little sister comes back from school and her biggest issues are so small compared to yours.

Persona 5 revolves so heavily around grief and loss and change and Sae embodies all of that so well, all of the sharp and unpleasant and jagged parts of grief.

Don Damián: Do we have a meeting that I didn’t know about?

Marta: No. I’m the one who didn’t know about the meeting this morning where you announced the visit of the owner of Galerías Miranda.

Don Damián: You’re included, of course.

Marta: How nice. I would like to think that I still am part of this company.

Don Damián: It’s good that we’re all here, hm? Let them see the united family.

Marta: Are you sure? Mr. Miranda might see something strange in me. Some kind of perversion. Well, I won’t give him that pleasure. The united family will shine by its absence.

Don Damián: Alright. Do what you think is best.

Telephone rings

Don Damián: Hello, Isabel? Yes, let her in.

Fina: Good afternoon.

Don Damián: Come in and close the door. What do you need, Serafina?

Fina: I came to inform you that after considering it, I’m obliged to reject your offer to move to Barcelona.

Don Damián: I’m afraid I might not have explained it well yesterday. It’s not an offer; it’s the only opportunity you have to remain in this company. According to your contract, you must comply with the changes set by management.

Fina: I’m not going to leave, Don Damián.

Don Damián: Does that mean you’re leaving Perfumerías de la Reina?

Fina: Well, if that’s the only solution, then yes, I will. But the three of us here know how unfair this is and the reason why you’ve been forced to make this decision.

“I hope I’ll find all the pieces of my mind that fell out of my head over all those years, and that I’ll be able to put myself together again. I hope the echoes of pain will fade, and memories of sorrow will die, and that you’ll visit me here some day…”

“And I hope you have a happy ending of your own.”

Spiral!Amy (inspired by this post)

Growing up sleeping next to a crack in the universe does funny things to a person. You have this constant sense of loss, of mourning something -- someone -- you can't even remember. Only the feelings remain, disconnected from memories that no longer exist. Open wounds on missing limbs, never able to heal. First you worry about it. You tell your mother, who checks on it never existed. You tell your father, who checks on it never existed. You tell your aunt, who sends you to therapy.

Then you try and hide from it, but the more you try to escape it, the more you see it everywhere, running along walls and windows and trees. It's a crack in everything, everywhere. You looked into a cracked mirror once. You don't look in mirrors anymore.

Then you try to appease it. Or, you think about appeasing it. You never seem to actually manage to get around to it, you think, staring out at the duck pond. There are no ducks there. There never have been anymore. Aunt Sharon says that she really should get her eyes checked, she's needed glasses for ages, and why hasn't she ever gotten a pair? Your lips twist up into a smile, but you don't know why.

And then, at long last, you embrace it. You are always smiling, now. Sometimes you laugh at nothing, or at least what is nothing now. Your therapist was always missing a leg, but you managed to bite it regardless. An open wound on a missing limb, never able to heal.

Amelia Pond, like a name from a fairy tale. An impossible thing, a child born of nothings and never-weres. She fell down, down the rabbit hole, from which there is no returning. All that remains is the Amy in Amnesia, and a Pond without any ducks.

AELSWITH IN 4x10 Part 1

[comradekarin]

wasn’t it so crazy that there’s a million characters that could’ve told harry about james and lily (especially after SWM) and rowling just never included scenes of that? harry doesn’t inquire about anything specific either if i remember correctly. and not just professors/wolfstar, even some of the weasley boys were still old enough to remember jily (bill was 11 when they died, no?). jily’s classmates who must have heard james and lily died so young and left their son orphaned. like it’s just so insane to me that harry knows next to nothing about his mother and father and has little to no familial objects to remember them. outside of small comments about their character (and the shit snape said about james that altered harry’s perception of him)… did harry know anything about them? harry was so very loved and he doesn’t even truly know.

"Elysia, sweet daughter of mine, should you find your life without meaning, should you find yourself feeling unworthy of love- allow me to relieve you of such fears. My love is with you always, my champion."

Venat is so motherly I could cry tbh. Mama is so pretty too- and Elysia's dress matches all her veils and ruffles :3. Anyways, Venat was in fact, my Azem's (surrogate) mother. So seeing Elysia struggle in a lot of the same ways that Azem did really hits Venat hard, so she'd like to speak to her more often as mother and daughter than goddess and champion.

Willow Month day 1: favorite character

To absolutely no one's surprise.

Now! To be fair! Jade was a close second (the yearning, the complexities, the Strong Woman With Sword), and i do find Boorman absolutely delightful but in the end it has to be Kit. Blorbo material of all times for the following reasons:

Girls (gender neutral) Who Are Their Father gotta stick together

Jade won my heart in the fighting department (due to polearm/sword combo and general Knightliness) but Kit has some really strong and hot combat moments, particularly when she gets clever and cocky about things. She may not have brute strength or full military training but she does have an attitude and some fancy footwork!

Nothing like a bravado loving yet insecure little weirdo to pull on my heartstrings

Because lets face it as cool, confident, and cocky as Kit can be she is also my pathetic queen. From Skellin onwards shes kinda just going around covered in grime with the worlds biggest saddest eyes. And im here for it.

^get her warm drink and forehead kissies right the fuck now

Anyways #1 blorbo factor tho is obviously her Funky Little Gender. This post is long already so i will not be writing my Kit Tanthalos Gender Thesis but listen to me. Listen to me. Kit hates dresses. And social expectations of ladylike behavior. And all she wants is to be brave and loved and not be a princess!!!!

Done screaming now. Butch icon Prince Kit Tanthalos my beloved
