“i’d recognize her anywhere”, no you would not. did we not already learn this lesson with clara? the doctor very infamously cannot recognize the people he cares about

okay so alighterwood started playing twisted wonderland which not only reminded me that i have to finish my twst wonderland jurrassic ayuu fic but ALSO gave me brain rot for Tim Drake in twisted wonderland do you see the vision. im looking directly into your eyes oh so autistically do you see my vision. im communicating telepathically do you see what i'm saying here
#he would own that school within 2 days#crowley would not stand a fucking chance#tim is the most likely to go villain (yes i do in fact know jason is right there but consider: that was extenuating circumstances)#and he would get along with literally all of the idiots on that campus#he canonically is great at making friends and getting btiches#like oh the guy that is only not a villain because he hyperfixated on on a hero? that guy gets along with a campus of ppl his age?#that are inspired by villains?#soooo crazy#wouldn't have seen that coming#not to mention he'd think of this as a vacation#imagine he gets teleported right as soon as he finds out condiment king was starting shit somewhere#he would go “oh thank god actually”#then proceed to spend the year 1) missing his friends but 2) having the time of his life messing with these people#Vil would love him#im just saying#they'd be fast friends#tim would be a pomefiere student if this was another au#erinwantstowrite#tim drake#twisted wonderland#digital art#doodles#twst grim

On the one hand yes making Charles relive his trauma was a dick move and also she was an antagonist for nearly the whole season, but I don’t think we give the Night Nurse enough credit for going “no hard feelings about beating the heck out of me and feeding me to a giant fish”
I mean, she was fine, yes. But a) Charles didn’t mean for her to be, that was fully a murder attempt and more importantly b) her being fine wasn’t a foregone conclusion even from her point of view. As far as I can tell if Kashi hadn’t happened to be there she would have spent the next few hundred years stuck in the belly of a fish, which is fucked up, tbh.
But she gets out and finds them and is basically just like “no worries about the fish thing, let’s get you on to Heaven, spit spot” and then when she realizes things are hinky and not going as planned she does Charles a FAVOR. And not a small one! One that could probably get her in a lot of trouble! One that puts her and her life’s work in danger! Because Charles asked her to and Charles looks very polite! When her only previous interaction with him was him attempting her premeditated murder!
Like. It’s no wonder Charles immediately assigns her a semi-affectionate nickname even though by all rights he should want to murder her again for trying to take Edwin to Hell. She’s possibly the first authority figure that not only wants the best for him, he actively and deliberately harmed her and she STILL wants the best for him.
#I feel like even when NN gets appreciation it’s just for following the better side of her principles instead of the worse#and helping save Edwin#but it’s pretty important context that she does that AFTER Charles t literally tries to kill her#dead boy detectives#the night nurse#the night nurse dbd#charles rowland#mine#I use the word ‘premeditated’ loosely here but he came up with a multi-step plan for her death and executed it#when there wasn’t even a physical altercation going on#like! I’m not saying he was Bad for doing that. it was reasonable tbh in the very extenuating circumstances#but the fact that SHE could tell it didn’t make him Bad is kinda staggering

it's the word "evil", I think. If I were Magneto's buddy I'd say "hmm maybe don't say you're evil because i bet that'd help recruiting at least a li'l. maybe say 'normal' instead"

Me when someone is a Ford hater: I mean, yeah I understand why you feel that way. He really made a lot of awful and selfish choices. He’s such a compelling character though and has a better heart than people give him credit for, I’d really encourage you to put aside your frustration with him and try to appreciate his nuances.
Me when someone is a Mabel hater:

#mabel pines#ford pines#grunkle ford#Mabel pines defense squad#gravity falls#like I kind of get it when it comes to her behavior in Mabel Land but there were some SERIOUS extenuating circumstances there#not the least of which being the obvious magical nature of the place#I mean Wendy and Soos also both totally ditched Dipper there and nobody gives them shit for it#hell even Dipper might have given in if he hadn’t been keyed in by fake Wendy’s wink

on a scale of one to spontaneous combustion, how pissed off would you be if your rightful property was
Stolen
Stolen
Claimed by another
Stolen
Stolen
Passed down as an heirloom
Wilfully kept from you
Passed down as an heirloom
Wilfully kept from you
Actively removed from your vicinity
Used as collateral in an underrepresented diplomatic negotiation
Sent to space.
#Exaggeration on some counts but let’s be real here#the extenuating circumstances of the Silmarillion warp our moral judgement#The argument is that the worldwide importance of the silmarils suggests they should rightfully belong to ‘science’ as one might say#Or to ‘goodness’#Despite their existence being owed to feanaro#One might say he has a duty to forfeit them for the betterment of the world#I agree.#one might also say the Valar have a duty to fight against their kinsman who stole them#BUT NO#anyway#silmarillion#silm#feanor#feanaro#silmarils#silm shitpost#etc.

some people on here make Hating All Social Rules such an obnoxiously large part of their personality that you could say "it is polite to avoid farting in a crowded elevator if you can help it" and they'd call you an oppressive puritan who hates the incontinent
#eliot posts#like sometimes social rules ARE pointless (or DO have a point but ultimately do more harm than good or are just unnecessarily inefficient)#but sometimes they're a useful way to consider the comfort of those around you#of course there are extenuating circumstances where following them is impossible or would put more burden on you than is fair or practical#in such cases it's good to make exceptions#and to automatically give rule breakers the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming they're being rude on purpose#anyway i once saw someone getting PISSED OFF bc a post said it's rude to watch videos without headphones on public transit#or this other time someone said public sex is always okay-#-and that it doesn't matter if ''public'' means a bathroom/back alley or if it neans the middle of the park in broad daylight#but it's not just about those two instances it's about an attitude i see on here in general#AND I AM SAYING THIS AS A QUEER AUTISTIC

The Doctor to the Sycorax (and many others): No second chances. *let's them eat shit*
The Doctor to the Master: Oh....you committed genocide??? 😔 You hurt many of my friends?????? 🥺 That's okay--I believe you can be better. 😌 You're my oldest friend, you know. ❤️ I believe you can be beautiful. We could travel the stars, you and I, see everythi--oh no, he escaped. 😕 Til next time!
#they remind me of greek gods#destroying a bunch of shit because of their beef#but they are also very much in love with each other sooooo#doctor who#dw#classic who#dr who#new who#thoschei#doctor/master#doctor x master#the doctor#the master#...except for that one time on sarn of course#there were extenuating circumstances tho#sycorax#the wording and emojis denote how fucking pathetic the doctor is

it always tickles me that despite the fact that falin wields a literal mace as an arcane focus it's five-foot-something noodle-armed elven waif marcille with her delicately woven branch staff and bare minimum strength and constitution who is categorically more violent and destructive and unhinged. falin touden can tenderize a walking mushroom with one hit and still marcille "i cast explode your brain point blank on reflex when threatened" donato is truly something else
#and that's yuri#dungeon meshi#falin touden#marcille donato#farcille#bc it's yet another hilarious dimension to their already unhinged dynamic#(yes faligon is an unstoppable killing machine but those were extenuating circumstances)#forever thinking about marcille obliterating the roof of thistle's house with a spell she aimed at mithrun's head from two (2) inches away#mine

Oh look. Reverse!Robins.
Bruce: “No murder.”
Damian: “No murder.”
Cass: “No murder.”
Tim: “No murder.”
Jason: “No murder for babies.”
Duke: “No murder until you can write me a researched & cited essay on why it is necessary for the greater good. Five page minimum.”
Dick: “I’m gonna murder.”
Red Hood!Steph: “I LIKE THIS ONE!”
#She is his fun murder aunt. Cass is having a stroke.#For the record#I feel like Jason’s Robin-era grappling with his own morality (ie sometimes murder good when extenuating circumstances) is even bigger here#Eventually he comes to the conclusion that it is a last resort but still an option that must be considered to protect future victims.#But the guilt of everyone else seeming to have absolutely no doubts or hesitations with their own convictions#which he finds himself disagreeing with at times… especially after Steph comes back? Yeah that fucks with Jay’s head.#//#reverse!robins#reverse robins au#reverse robins#reverse order robins#reverse order batkids#reverse batkids#reverse batfam#reverse batfamily#batfamily#bat family#batfam#bat fam#red hood stephanie brown#red hood steph#rh!steph#red hood!steph#red hood!stephanie brown#my writing#mine

I just think it’s funny that Ahsoka and Obi-Wan both entered their loser era around late 30s and just chilled that way for a while before Anakin Skywalker reminded them they’re cooler than him and he made way worse choices than they did. And Anakin seemed pleased to do that for both of them. Lmao. Just got remind myself I’ve never been arrested I’m doin better than most of my fam, it be like that. Just remember you’re better than your brother who may or may not have caused the death of his partner 🤷♀️
#star wars#obi wan kenobi#ahsoka tano#ahsoka series#extenuating circumstances and all that lmao I’m joking I don’t really think Ani is the worst#also yeah Vader hated Obi but Anakin never did lol

my life for a Volstrucker book. we have the Caleb backstory comic but that only gives a very cursory view of the blumentrio only. I wanna see more, more of the training, the work and dynamics of full fledged scourgers. who are these guys when they're not being ~Mysterious or specifically Astrid and Eadwulf in an incredibly specific and narrow scenario that is not at all indicative of the rest of the bunch
#like okay we got like. four glimpses of volstrucker work in the campaign#that one who was Essek's prisoner#Eadwulf and the other one guarding (?) the beacon#Astrid and Eadwulf at the dinner party with the nein#and then. everything from the sanatorium heist to the last fight with Trent#those last two absolutely do NOT tell us about normal volstrucker dynamics. that is like. extenuating circumstances that could ONLY happen#to Astrid and Eadwulf specifically#and then the first two are not enough! too isolated or too background noise!#I think a book about Astrid specifically spanning graduation up to her appearance in campaign two#(but no further)#(let her role in the campaign speak for itself)#one obvious advantage of this would be to give us more volstrucker characters to play with#this has been a post#critical role

also okay. Leo voiding and Foolish going “that’s alright I’ll just wait. I can wait. I wait.” like yeah totem boy that’s all you ever do isn’t it. waiting loyally for Vegetta to come back, for his plans to find fruition, for islanders and federation workers alike to take him seriously, for Leo to return now, just like he waited for her before, keeping patience like none other. he’ll wait - that’s kinda his thing.
#every time foolish goes ‘I don’t really do lore’ and then does shit like this#yeah he’s doing the dramatic rp in lethal company as fuckin clone 99 or Luigi and Mario because his character is not vocal and emotional#it’s subtle like this because his character - as dramatic and silly and seemingly attention seeking as he is - is subtle#when it matters his reactions are quiet#usually - extenuating circumstances aside. we all watched the last purgatory stream#idk idjajfksjfjsjf but like. the fact he’s always the one who’s waiting. who will extend that patience. but he’s also the one left behind#this seems like a good time to bring up when he was left in the nether again kfjsjfjr yknow?#he waits. and he waits. and he waits. and he waits. and nobody takes him seriously in the meantime#he waits for Leo just like he’s been doing for the last few months. reassuring himself and bad she just voided. man#mcyt#qsmp#q!foolish#z speaks

tim rejecting kon as robin because he believes kon already rejected tim and so would be disappointed once he finds out....this is the worst ending yet...i love it....
(this scenario) listen, tim is so smart and strategic and logical and also (especially post-breakup/misunderstanding) would plan for every single outcome except the one where he is actually wanted
#like without clearing the air tim is now operating under the assumption that kon does not want tim drake#and unfortunately tim for all his aliases is also. at the end of the day. tim drake#like from his perspective there were no…how to put this…extenuating circumstances#like to tim things were incredibly easy and he hadn’t even asked anything of kon as tim; they kissed and hung out#sure kon had saved tim before but never in a way that seriously stressed or even inconvenienced kon#and tim is still learning not to see himself as Too Much#so when (to his understanding) kon decides he isn’t interested in tim before anything bad even happened#before tim ever even asked for anything or did anything obviously wrong or caused any real problems#then tim takes that to mean: the thing that is wrong is just fundamentally tim himself#there’s nothing he can do to course correct or change that#so of course in a scenario where kon asks robin out (before knowing robin is tim) tim will—in his mind—spare them both#(this is obviously not how it shakes out in the fic but it has been fun to imagine)#(and by fun i mean pangy 🫡)#vinelark asks#my fic#bbts extras
