@lil-zlatko Just thinking about the fact that Viktor's bad knee probably flared up at times during or after physically demanding jobs Mordecai and he went on. That Mordecai was probably concerned when it did but expresses it through fussing and nagging as usual
That when Mordecai kneecapped Viktor he must have knowingly aimed for the "good knee" because he knew doing that was the most effective way to force him to retire and get him out of danger or the worst case scenario of Marigold ordering Mordecai to take him out. Something he would probably not be able to do and would blow his cover immediately
Wondering if the "breakup" was an angry loud shouting match like most of their arguements building up to the shot or if it was Mordecai calmly and logically explaining to Viktor why it was in his best interest to retire but the stubborn Golem simply not listening as usual and so he has to fall back on "plan B"
The strange mix of selfishness and selflessness in the decision. Selfish because it was done to avoid Mordecai's heartbreak (platonic or otherwise depending on how you interpret Mordecai "repressed" Heller's feelings for the big guy) in the future because he can't see the only person he cares about in St Louis other than Atlas die as well.
Selfless because he knows Viktor will likely hate him forever for it and its clearly the mindset of "He will hate me and I will probably never see him again but you know what at least he will still be alive and I am willing to live with that ( he thinks). I want him to be safe even if it leaves me alone and unhappy
The man is horrified that VIktor is not only still working at Lackadaisy but got shot during the pig farmers raid which makes it all for NOTHING
But he has to keep all that hidden (literally hiding his face) because Asa "dickhead" Sweet is sitting right next to him and he can't let him catch on
#lackadaisy#lackadaisycats#tracy j butler#viktor vasko#mordecai heller#vikdecai#viktor x mordecai#comic#mitzi may#another reason to resent Mitzi because she is allowing Viktor to keep working due to her desperation for competent staff

I think the reason beckory works well is that tony has a habit of getting self righteous and in his own head about things but Gregory isnt afraid to tell him off or call him out about things. the point of tony in ggy is that nobody ever told him that how hes treating other people isnt good, so that's why he got so bad. but tony would be close to Gregory and have every rational reason in the world to listen to Gregory so when he would say something like "you're treating ellis badly and that's not what a good friend does, you need to do better" hed actually listen and take it into account and improve himself
#everyone in ggy is oblivious but gregory wouldnt be#hed be used to flawed people by being family with vanessa and freddy and best friends with cassie#and in turn tony#so when tony showcases traits of being flawed he cares about him and can look past them bc he knows tony is a good person#but he also keeps him in check when he goes too far#gregory who would fight someone so intensely he would be put in the hospital if someone insulted cassie:#tony you shouldnt resent ellis and say hes annoying just because he doesnt know all about this journalist from the 1920s#i think the concept of Gregory trying to be normal and live a normal life with 3 star fam and actively having to make it happen#is interesting#bc i feel like tony is so abnormal and has become disconnected from reality especially in a scenario where he lives after the ggy attack#that interacting wiht gregory whos so strange and interesting and mysterious but also has both feet rooted in the present and reality#would do him a lot of good#just make him finally take a step back and see the bigger picture and take a chill pill#also its ironic bc gregory is secretly in his head trying soo hard to be normal and do normal things#and it appears so effortless to Tony that it literally fixes him#i love thinking gregory and others relationships as Gregory not really doing anything but he still affects ppl so heavily#like gregory just existing and freddy developing a soul and sentience and finding a will to live and a purpose after dropping lead singer#gregory almost accidentally saving vanessa and just existing in her life being someone she wants to live for#giving her the motivation to get back up and eventually allowing her to heal enough to want to enjoy life by herself#Gregory doing nothing but being cassies friend and it changes her after a lifetime of abandonment#to the point where it makes her happy and fufilled and brings out the determination and bravery in her#and finally gregory with tony where him just being in tonys life not trying hard to help him out and change his way of seeing life#actually does the most to change his life and shows him that he can view things differently and that now#he finds that he WANTS to#pandas.txt#3 star fam#beckory#superstar duo#gregory#tony

Has anyone endlessly dissected Armand's subtle Marius shade yet
#iwtv#iwtv armand#LESSER skill 💅🏽✨#im sincerely so curious to see how their dynamic plays out once he finds out marius is alive#bc it seems like he still thinks hes dead as of s2#as far as i can tell book!armand doesnt find out marius is alive until he reads lestats book?? which will never not fuck me up#book!lestat is truly aint shit for hearing armands Tale of Woe then kicking it at marius’s mcmansion for a week#writing and publishing a book about it meanwhile never letting his friend armand who he ‘loves’ know that his fucking maker is still alive#but anyway in the show theyre definitely leaning into armand being more embittered towards marius which i loveeee#vs in the books where he seems more ambivalent?#its hard bc u can make a strong reading of book!armand as deeply resentful#but unable to process that relationship enough to understand his feelings about it#but ar is so shit at character development/keeping emotional consistency that it feels like a fluke when something actually tracks#like theres a great moment in qotd where marius is seeing armand again for the first time since his ‘death’ and marius is all hugging him#and armand is just sort of solemn and passively allowing it and not rly engaging with him#but then when marius needs him armand goes to his side and comforts him a few chapters later#and i think theres a lot you can glean from those two interactions but since ar spends no time digging into that at all its like…..#did it even mean anything? or am i imagining a better story than im actually reading#she just has this knack for laying the groundwork of a deeply fascinating character dynamic and then never fully seeing it to fruition#even in armands own book which is largely dedicated to exploring that relationship his feelings on marius stay pretty unresolved#he feels conflicted at the start and conflicted at the end and telling his story doesnt illuminate anything he still just feels the same#i can sit around and make different interpretations forever but the text never Goes There enough to be satisfying for me#and im not fucking reading blood and gold so if the insight i seek lies within someone just tell me. pls

also my big lucanis plot critique/complaint is that they worked so so hard to sanitize the crows and caterina specifically that they wound up erasing a lot of his really interesting tie-in media backstory and the trauma he endured (which would likely be what made him compatible with spite in the first place!!!!!!!) and so now he's just like. a walking coffee ad in a kiss the chef apron, outside of his spite-and-illario-specific plotlines. but with the tie-in media in mind, caterina declaring him first talon feels like such an ominous ending to his questline & just another person controlling him from behind the scenes, instead of as a victorious end to his struggles lol
#nat.txt#da4 spoilers#veilguard lb#like i can't even pretend that the crows are better because zevran's threatened/killed all the Bad Ones because caterina is one of them lol#she sucks! she was abusive and cruel to lucanis - starved and dehydrated him as a punishment in addition to beating him#and HE'S her FAVOURITE#i just wish there was some element there with the illario lucanis conflict but god forbid we have factions not be Perfect Angels#like. two abused kids being turned against each other by one secretly resenting the other for having been ''favoured'' by their abuser#it's just so much more interesting than ''illario just wanted to be the favourite & in charge <3'' but it involves nuance#and we're NOT ALLOWED!!!!!!!!! to have moral ambiguity in our factions!!!!!!!!!!! in this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i do not enjoy harry potter anymore and even when i did, snape was not a character i ever liked, but for some reason my ‘for you’ page is just full of dedicated snape stan accounts and i hate it
#anti jk rowling#anti severus snape#anti harry potter#like okay i remain a strong proponent of ‘you are allowed to like whatever fiction you like’#but it’s important to consider whether the author—when presenting certain subjects—critically evaluates their own opinion on those subjects#like how stephanie meyer in twilight thinks it’s funny to have all the vampires make dog jokes at jacob because he’s a werewolf#but he’s native so it comes off as REALLY racist#(and also in the case of jkr specifically she’s using her money from hp to fund terf shit LET HP DIE)#and the dozen-ish snape takes i’ve seen seem to demonstrate these accounts are either not interested in or cannot critically evaluate snape#a character written by a woman to be a redeemable asshole who take out a petty schoolyard resentment against a kid’s dad ON THE KID#the orphaned abused kid i might add—when the redeemable man in question is implied to have come from an abusive home himself#i just saw one like ‘oh if it’s okay to call him ‘snivellus’ then it must be okay to call luna ‘loony’ right?#sorry when was luna joining a hate group against muggles and muggle-borns#i don’t deny james and co bullied snape quite viciously but he gave back just as much and also never grew out of that pettiness#not to mention he only turned from voldemort because he was specifically going to kill lily#all other muggleborns dying was apparently just fine by him#i still don’t get the love of this character not because it’s a bad thing to like villainous characters#but it’s ALWAYS the justification of his actions—as if he was in the right to bully harry (an orphaned abused child) because of harry’s dad#there’s no criticism consideration of the author’s biases in there#should you not be a bit concerned that she thinks calling your best friend a slur ‘ONE TIME’ is something that should be just forgotten#aj abstractions

okay so. don’t crucify me. but su she and jin guangyao do actually make some pretty compelling points.
#critical class analysis of mdzs when???? when will i write it when????#but like.#like#fuck okay i love how it ends#because i love a happy ending#but i just keep thinking about how su she and ESP jin guangyao are right that… they kinda… had to do what they did#like su she has a few more blunders and he’s clearly jealous/resentful but… he’s not necessarily wrong about being looked down on in the la#for reasons he can’t really control#and jgy… where to even begin like okay he shouldn’t have done all those horrible things#but they ALL did horrible things#the difference is that jgy did not have anyone backing him if he fucked up if he wanted to live in dignity#he had to make sure his spot was secure#lxc lwj and whoever else was in the guanyin temple can judge him all they want#but except for wwx they’re all clan leaders or uncontested heirs#they have a level of wealth & security that allows them to make judgements on the actions of others#knowing that they can act basically free from lasting consequence#the only person who isn’t immune is wei wuxian but even then… he had the jiang clan in the past#which. it’s complicated. i know it’s complicated.#but he did attain a lot of privilege thru his connection with them and they did protect him as much as they reasonably could have#in the circumstances they were given#for the most part#and then in the future he has lan wangji who will literally kill anyone that comes at him#makes sure he’s warm and fed and kept entertained and away from pesky things like#responsibilities#and difficult conversations#so even tho he once knew a life like jgy’s he’s so far removed from it now#and just#sorry there’s a reason why all of this is in the tags#it’s not super clear in my head yet#but this is the start i promise i will come back to it

Jam’s said this before but through what we’ve seen of him in book 3, I think it makes more sense for Aerin’s character for MC and co to have mistrusted Aerin and for him to have run away and not have returned, only to be forced to group with them in the afterlife…
#i have more thoughts on this#about how#since aerin struggles between good and bad especially due to having always felt at odds with the temple’s definition of good and bad#coupled with the neglect of his father making him feel like there was something inherently wrong with him which was why he wasn’t loved#and thus making him more suspectible to the dreadlord’s grooming and rhe shadow court’s influence#and how now he understands the weight of his actions and feels this immense remorse but is unable to really face it and insteads just tries#to escape to run away#but is still ultimately confronted with it and now is forced through work through righting his wrongs with those he hurt most#which is why nia is an important character to consider when analysing aerin as we’ve already seen they’re making#it a point that aerin still rightfully harbours so much guilt with nia being unable to forgive him yet#(thinking about how nia in b2 was the person who was advocating most for aerin to the point the others found her naive#when actually it was because of her own guilt regarding to her shadow and feelings of weakness#so it makes sense that now she’s accepted that side of her and has unlearned much of the temple’s teaching#that she allows herself that resentment)#very very excited to see what they do with that#playchoices#choices#pixelberry#blades of light and shadow#aerin valleros

whipped up some fancherubs and i know everything about their story and character arcs but by god am i not giving them names.
#homestuck art#fancherub#theyre both in a *teen rebellion* phase but in opposite directions.#the lord is trying to overcompensate his destructive urges by being the most obnoxious and smug nice guy#while the muse resents her future role as a benevolent protector feeling like its putting her in a box so shes emo#they think the other is the most fucking annoying and fake poser in the whole universe#the lord of light concedes and allows the muse to predominate#but out of pure pettiness. she needed him to cooperate with her to beat the game and he decided to just fuck off#lofaf art

started reading iron widow by xiran jay zhao and now that I've reacclimated to the YA writing style (which I do not fuck with, as a rule), I'm really into this. I'm at chapter thirteen and I'm predicting that li shimin eventually lets zetian pilot him---if only because she's able to convince him that it would make the forces holding them both captive really mad
#bolo liveblogs#could I be entirely wrong about this? possibly#when they were in the cockpit and she was trying to talk him into letting her pilot the chrysalis on the basis that they#both hate their captors don't they. well I latched on IMMEDIATELY. if nothing like that actually comes to pass I will feel cheated#it would be thematically interesting (a male/female pilot relationship outside the paradigm of domination/consumption#that most chrysalises follow as a rule) and also I think li shimin resents being forced to act as a weapon#...which admittedly would also be happening if he allowed zetian to use his qi but at least it'd be his choice this time#please don't confirm or deny any of this I'm still reading

Brain in Daylight Hours: There is no mental or emotional space for writing. There are no new ideas, and no structure for old ideas.
Brain after Dark: Here's 38 new ideas, 3/4 of a structure, official permission to write, and -- oh. The only place to write in the dark is your phone? ... Never mind.
#writing#well#not writing at the moment#I saw a post about characters doomed by the narrative#and the fridged wife trope#and it got me thinking about Apricots#about whether Jess should be dead from the start#and how much it matters that it's a multi-POV story with hers as one of the vital points of view#and whose POVs are ultimately included#and how they kind of mimic the classic 5 stages of grief in a way#but each has to escape their part of that cycle in one form or another#and about how each is a reflection of me in some way because of course they are because that's how I write things#and about how the villains are a reflection of my views about certain things too#and about how the story takes shape#and how it's someone who was dead long before Jess was ever born who's really been doomed from the start#Basil is doomed by the narrative and he knows this#Jess thinks she's doomed by the narrative but she has the chance to change that#Noah resents the narrative because he believes someone has to be doomed by it and he hates the idea of anyone being doomed#Ian thinks there has to be a way out of the narrative if he can just move props around the stage the right way#Kade finds the events of the narrative lonely and sad but knows that clinging to a prologue only makes the rest harder to read#Luciana has believed most of these things at some point#now she believes that while the narrative deserves to be destroyed the characters in it do not so all she can do is endure#and none of these are exactly organized thoughts#or give me any insight into the structure of the plot#or the things I've been struggling with#but it was almosf coherent for a whole hour tonight#and only the idea that writing on my phone until 2 or 3 am would hurt my wrists/hands/eyes stopped me#if only I could keep the light on just a little longer at night#it's a risk to my budgie's health and I refuse to do that#but I wish I could write in the hours my brain says I'm allowed to write...

the thing about the charming siblings is i want to make them tragic. you're perfect, I wish I was perfect. you're allowed to not be perfect. I resent you for being perfect. I hate you for being imperfect. I want to be a boy. I want to be a knight. I want to be you. I could be better than you. I wish your destiny was mine. I wish people loved me the way they love you. I wish she loved me the way she loves you. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. I love you. I miss when we were friends. we never talk anymore. do you even care? you know nothing about me. you took my destiny. who am I? I'm supposed to be the responsible one. don't leave me. get away from me. when did you grow out of being a little kid? i miss home. the only place that feels like home is you. do you love her? do you love me? brother. sister. i was supposed to protect you. I'm sorry. I forgive you. nothing will ever be the same again.
it's about perfection and performance. it's about playing roles. everyone has their role to play. what if i want to be something else, something more. it's about femininity and masculinity. it's about not fitting in to either. is it about who you're supposed to be or who you want to be? I did it for you. I didn't ask for that. I'd burn the world for you. you never cared about me. I think of you always. there isn't room enough for all of us. i wish you'd never been born at all. I couldn't live without you.
#the thing about dexter and darling is they have a lot of parallels#they both thought their love interests (raven and apple) liked daring#they both wish they were like daring (though in different ways)#neither of them have a confirmed destiny#but at the same time dexter gets to be a prince and do the things she wants to do#and i think Dexter is sort of jealous of her because as another prince he gets compared to daring more#Dexter resents his siblings for being seemingly perfect and he also resents darling for how she doesnt even have to be perfect#bc she doesnt get compared to daring in his eyes#darling does feel the need to be perfect though and resents that she can't live the life she wants but her brothers get that life#daring TO ME has a superiority complex to cover up his flaws bc hes severely scared of being imperfect#but at the same time he wishes he was allowed to be imperfect bc the pressure is killing him#hes relied on false bravado for so long that he doesn't know who is without that especially when he loses his destiny#so he resents darling for her effortless confidence in who she is#i think they all used to be super close and daring felt like the one who needed to protect his siblings#but they grew apart as they got older and started to resent each other and he lost that protective instinct#but they all miss when they were closer#i think daring realizes he was “supposed” be the one protecting his siblings once darling starts protecting/saving him#to darling its too late for him to protect her bc she can protect herself and doesnt want to be protected#to dexter though i think a part of him wishes daring stood up for and protected him more#they all desperately need to be flawless but its killing them#and they all desperately want to be each other#and they all just want their siblings back#but they can't go back to when they were children#and they can't understand each other as they are now#but they love each other anyways#even as they resent each other#eah#ever after high#ignore that i wrote 50 million more things in the tags#i realize this may be out of character or whatever but idc

mmm once again thinking about the strange obi-wan/ahsoka dynamic.
#ahsoka will always love and like anakin more despite knowing obi-wan is the better man#obi-wan resents her disrespect more bc she’s not anakin. anakin is the only one allowed to hurt him.#i could go on
