Thanks for coming to my ted talk
#i see pics of s1 jaskier and i cry for our fallen bard#s2 jaskier was also good#s3 jaskier was NOT my cup of tea#it's weird that no one involved with the show ever acknowledged the geraskier shippers right?#other shows at least mention SOMETHING about ships like that#the witcher tried to pretend it didn't exist even though its supporters were a big part of the fandom#they completely ignored us#there were so many controversies about a billion witcher things were the producers responed and yet there are over 20 geraskier fics on ao3#and they never even acknowledged it#not even ti deny it#that was their downfall i believe#lauren hissrich#the witcher netflix#twn#geraskier#geralt of rivia#jaskier#meme#text#shitpost#joey batey#henry cavill#crispy

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.
#seeing some discourse and im not saying lucy grey didnt know#im saying she never dropped the kind of hints that she knew like she did in the movie#or if she did snow isnt worried about them until he very suddenly is consumed by them#snow is not concerned about whether or not she believed him. of course she did! hes snow!#but then shes gone…. for a while……#and its the sudden immediate drastic unravelling that comes across so clearly in the book#that i knew wouldn’t translate to screen yet still cant help but miss#the hunger games#coriolanus snow#tbosas#lucy gray baird#not a crime or anything just a note that i cannot stop thinking about#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#this is all from memory of reading it quite a while ago. so maybe 3 pages is an exaggeration#but i remember it happening VERY quickly and without much external cause#like we as the reader have no indication as to whether shes nearby or not.#snow has no idea either. he just SUSPECTS. and his suspicion breeds the hatred that has been bubbling inside him all this time#he hates how she undoes him. he hates that he WOULD run away with her if shed let him keep his secrets#and he HATES more than anything that she makes him WANT to tell his secrets#he wants to be vulnerable and reveal the ugly nasty parts about himself and still be loved#but he does not let himself and it is everyone’s downfall#he chooses cruelty bc it is easy and familiar and makes him feel more powerful than the vulnerable give and take that real love requires

so rhaenyra starts s3 with a god complex, believing herself to be the prince that was promised from aegon the conqueror's dream... but hugh and ulf will betray her, mysaria will misunderstand her, coryls will undermine her, bartimos will underestimate her, daemon will abandon her, her people will turn against her and burn her castle and kill her dragon. and when everyone who accepted rhaenyra as queen rejects her, the only person left to love rhaenyra will be alicent, who never loved rhaenyra as queen but rhaenyra as a person ("she was the vision that sustained him [...] it was his love for her that kept him resolute in his choice of heir."). alicent, who abandoned her gods and duty to go to rhaenyra on dragonstone and appeal to the person beneath the crown ("i cast myself on the mercy of a friend who once loved me."). alicent, who's made a god of rhaenyra, not as queen, but as the girl she read with beneath the godswood ("come with me.").
#and rhaenyra won't accept it at first#she'll refuse to believe that she was wrong and that the prophecy wasn't about her because she's lost so much#and i don't know how she will eventually come to the realization that she isn't the prince who was promised#but i think it will be when she's forced to sell her crown and make an attempt at escape (maybe with alicent)#and so ultimately#rhaenyra's love for alicent was her downfall#because a lot of the grievances her council has will be directly/indirectly related to rhaenyra protecting alicent#and rhaenyra's love for alicent keeping her grounded to her humanity while the world around her tries to turn her into an unfeeling queen#and so the love works against the system#because the love cannot exist within the system without everything falling apart#so by taking alicent prisoner rhaenyra is dooming herself to fail at being queen#because in that moment rhaenyra - like alicent in 2x08 - chooses love over duty#hotd#alicent hightower#rhaenicent#hotd spoilers#rhaenyra targaryen#house of the dragon

The change from “when does a man become a monster” while he begs for forgiveness to “What if I’m the monster” while spiraling to “Then I’ll become the monster” in the end is going to live rent free in my head all day

rewatching hxh is crazy like the foreshadowing is so good. i’m just as emotionally engaged as i was the first time watching but in a COMPLETELY different way bc it’s almost hard to watch through the sheer sense of foreboding you feel as gon learns more and gains more power. his recklessness was always taken quite seriously by the narrative and that’s clear on a first watch, but knowing exactly what happens and where that self-abandoning recklessness, that thrill-seeking, that bullheaded perfectionism (not to do everything perfectly but to do everything with perfect accordance to his own terms), and that childish willingness to disregard everyone else in pursuit of his own impulsive goals (thereby reinforcing his own worldview for better or worse) goes… the show is SCREAMING at you that this is all going to go horribly wrong and it’s so sinister in this weird offhanded way, like it’s sticking to shounen tropes just close enough that you definitely notice something off but don’t suspect it’ll snowball the way it does.
#he is my precious wonderful best friend forever. tbh#i don’t like to characterize what happens in caa as a big character pivot or his ‘downfall’ or whatever#because ultimately despite gon’s myriad flaws he is intensely sympathetic and extremely well written as. you know. a LITTLE KID#but yeah……….. fuck. i can’t believe it i am now one of those guys who loses their mind over how good a shounen is#LISTEN you’re only allowed to say it about fma but if you start talking about ANY other shounen like it’s a masterpiece you’re a WEEB!!!!!#/j#hxh#frogs.txt

so is twitter being purposefully run into the ground at this point
#I find it difficult to believe that so many bad decisions can be made one after another by just one stupid guy#The acquisition of the website was something nobody wanted including the current owner#What is the explanation for this nosedive downfall in the end. Is it his playground for robots or was there some like#Actual idea behind making this shit worse#Unless he really and truly fully is that stupid. Like hears nothing but yes and covers his ears at no like a child. Hows the website traffi#Anyway I havent used twitter in a while so its as good a time as any to make a blue sky I suppose

TALIESIN TALKING ABOUT HIS DECISION TO PLAY THE WILDMOTHER AND SAYING ORIGINALLY HE WANTED A BETRAYER GOD BUT ALSO, “I had a Moonweaver idea—I had a great Moonweaver idea, I’m saving it for later—”
SO THERE’S A CHANCE?? WE’LL GET TO SEE TALIESIN PLAY MOLLY’s MOONWEAVER ONE DAY?? 👀👀
#critical role#cr downfall#mOONWEAVER TALIESIN!!!#I can’t believe I so self indulgently hoped he would play her and then he says he WAS thinking of her#as one of the original pitches#and that he still loves that idea so he’s!! saving her for later!!#oh I’m so excited I hope one day we get to see him play her :'))

Oh my gods, Trists family members are potentially the ancestors of the Clay family. Which is why the Clays are descendents of champions of the matron of ravens. Purvan trained Trists children because Emhira asked him to bring them to safety. (Or they dedicated themselves to the Raven Queen because Emhira was the one to make sure they're safe or something)
Also Caduceus being a cleric of the wildmother is VERY meta in this instance. Like imagine playing the Cleric AND the deity while also being an elder god or something in the real world. Taliesin really does it all.
Like holy shit Trists children are the ancestors of the Clay bloodline. The Clay family now has connections to the Wildmother, Archeart, Matron of Ravens and Everlight. What else will there be in the future?
