Time to make this more angsty. Do you guys think that Filbrick would make Ford dress up all appropriate and normal in this photo? Do you think that Filbrick saw his “favorite” son wasn’t normal because of his hands? Do you think Ford tries to hide his hands a lot behind his back with this posture because it looks more professional?

Then, you realize…

“your father won’t want you returning without millions,”

Filbrick doesn’t care for Ford anymore. He once saw his son as a person who would be successful, but it is all put on pause when Stan accidentally “wrecked” Ford’s future. He only saw Ford useful when he had potential to only make money. Now he doesn’t see him as anything anymore.

However, Bill does now. This cycle will repeat with Bill.

Do you guys think that Ford clings onto the wrong people only because they gave him that attention, not caring if they hurt him?

I need the Ted and Jamie heart to heart. There’s so much baggage between the two of them. Jamie being a prick to ted when he arrived. Ted telling Jamie he’s the best natural talent he’s ever coached. Jamie not knowing why he’s being sent back to man city. Ted giving Jamie a toy soldier to protect himself (through beard). Ted telling him he didn’t sent him away and nothing else. No explanation. Jamie trash talking the team and ted to the press. Jamie believing ted has been playing mind games with him bc that’s what his dad does probably. Ted not accepting jamie back (even after Jamie told him the Roy soldier is named after him). Ted accepting jamie back with the condition that jamie plays for the team, not himself. Jamie following through his promise. Ted not interfering with Roy refusing to do his job to coach Jamie for days (maybe weeks, I don’t remember). Ted, like everyone else, just watching while Jamie’s dad is in the locker room in Manchester. Ted laughing along after Jamie made his worries about zava known. Ted not saying anything as zava stole Jamie’s goal. Ted giving Jamie reason in his speech after zava left them out to dry.

I’m desperate for them to finally come to a head. I need ted to take accountability for dropping the ball with Jamie so many times, when Jamie has done everything ted has asked of him and more. I need ted to thank Jamie for being the one to keep his way of coaching alive when everyone else forgot what makes afc Richmond special.

“Because caring was a thing with claws. It sank them in, and didn't let go. Caring hurt more than a knife to the leg, more than a few broken ribs, more than anything that bled or broke and healed again. Caring didn't break you clean. It was a bone that didn't set, a cut that wouldn't close.”

"it's her blood in your veins" is so essentialist. You know how oppressors categorize the people they oppress as less than them, as animals? This is textbook fascism, which is actually fascinating regarding Caitlyn's arc.

She was born in a very wealthy and influential family in position of power which allowed her to exercise a certain care-free, almost naive desire to see the world, just like a child whose presented with toys. I do not doubt for a second she thinks the people of Zaun suffered because of the society she is a product of, Vi is the perfect example of "you are not like them", which in season 1 was the cataclysm to her empathy, and indubitably the crumbling of any shred of compassion the moment she is personally attacked.

Her mother died, which is atrocious, but countless mothers died in Zaun against Piltover and the complete disregard it had towards Zaun's population. How many mothers died by enforcers? By chemicals' exposure? How many little girls lost their mom?

Caitlyn grief is emblazoned and coated in the privilege she was born into, reinforcing the idea she grew up with, that people of Zaun will not hesitate to eat her alive if they could, that's why she violently rejects Vi. They are all the same, it's in their nature. Caitlyn's anguish is in part grounded in discrimination.

many people have said it but bears repeating again:

Palestinian liberation calls for a 1 state solution under which all people are equal under both under the law and in practice.

In order to have peace the genocide, apartheid, and occupation must end. Settler colonialism must end. Second class citizenry must end. All Palestinians imprisoned must be released. Reparations must be made to Palestinians who have been affected by both current events and historical, from the Nakba in 1948 to today. Everyone who participated in the facilitation of the apartheid, and the violence of the apartheid and occupation required to maintain the oppressive regime, must be held accountable. Palestinians must be granted the right to return to their homes.

The idea that Palestinian liberation = carrying out a genocide on Israelis is nothing more than baseless, racist, orientalist fearmongering (and, to an extent, pure projection) that serves to justify the current genocidal regime and the apartheid having been maintained for decades. One people's freedom does not threaten another people. People are fearmongering over a hypothetical scenario (the same fearmongering used in South Africa; both during the reconstruction era following the abolition of slavery & also against abolitionists while slavery was still legal in the United States; in regards to the North American indigenous population; and so on) while an actual genocide is going on.

the only way to real actual peace, safety, and security is through the complete liberation of the Palestinian people, not the continued maintenance of the current regime or the apartheid that led to this current moment in time. apartheid is inherently violent; oppression is inherently violent. colonialism is inherently violent. if YOUR 'safety' is dependent on the oppression, displacement, and murder of OTHER PEOPLE then your conditions are not and will never be safe.

Sorry, but having Zuko actually fight back against Ozai during their Agni Kai is just wrong. He was a child, only 13 at the time, afraid to fight his own father and was mutilated as punishment, because Ozai saw Zuko's begging and unwillingness to fight as unforgiveable weakness.

The Angi Kai isn't meant to be a showcase of Zuko's fighting potential (that's what the Zhao fight is for), but to show the utter cruelty of Ozai.

Netflix, I don’t know how to tell you this but a woman doesn’t have to be self taught to be a strong female character. It’s ok to let her know her limitation and ask for help. It’s ok to let her get angry, it’s ok to let her be jealous, it’s ok to let your female character have flaws and WORK on them. Your female character doesn’t have to become a master on her own to be memorable, it just makes her accomplishment feel unearned.
