Reminder that I love this page because Toga’s love for Izuku really does put people in danger. In fact, it led to Katsuki dying.

ANOTHER PERSON LOVING IZUKU KILLED KATSUKI.

I want to see the baby photos or I will die

The Conservator: Haha, alright, I will show you the baby pictures, though I do not need much convincing to show these pictures.

The Conservator: These are my older siblings, Compelor and Copyist. By the time I was born they had been adults for quite some time, so I never got to see them like this, or as children at all, but when I was small, I asked father what they were like when they were my age and he showed me these pictures and told me about them.

The Conservator: This is me, another picture father showed me. All the picture of me as a baby and child make me look very sad, though I think that is just how my face looks when I am not actively smiling.

The Conservator: This is the first image that I was able to get myself. When father was not busy caring for zir, I would hold and carry the Cataloger as much as I could. Ze was so small, I could carry zir in the palm of my hand. Ze spent a lot of time asleep, and was not very fussy.

The Conservator: And this is a picture of my youngest sibling, the Cartologist. E was such a cute, chubby little baby, and e loved being held so much. I think everyone also enjoyed carrying him, he was so affectionate, extremely huggy.

Creepy guy liking all my posts on Instagram and commenting “U always look so beautiful” etc. etc. Why is my life like this. I want to die.

I think ball-tilt puzzles need to be the new escort mission phenomenon in games. You know like, puzzles where you have to control a ball in some form, usually by tilting the course around it. By "escort mission phenomenon," I mean, the next form of in-game challenge that devs keep putting in games to everybody's ire until they eventually realize everyone universally despises it and slowly stop implementing it.

was supposed to be my day off but i got called in anyway because one of the kids from the other location was scheduled to work at ours and just. forgot to tell everyone he was going on vacation. so i went in but it wasn't a bad day because it rained and we got to stay inside for most of the day. hopefully it rains more this week

need it on the official record that i do love moiraine and lan's relationship sososo much!!!

i love the implicit understanding they have with each other, based partially in the fact that they are both heirs separated from a crown for very different reasons. moiraine and lan are both people who cannot go back to where they came from, whether they want to or not. so there is this shared sense of loneliness, and drift that they share, wrapped up in the idea that they probably aren't going to survive the last battle (or even the journey to it) and would rather sacrifice themselves than have anyone they care for or, in moiraine's case for some people deem more necessary to The Pattern (although to be fair to her, this often still means having a certain level of care for them she just um. wasn't raised to know how to show any healthy positive emotion i don't think) moving in companionable silence eternally Searching™

i've grown increasingly haunted by this exchange they have at the end of new spring:

like............"surrender after you are dead. yes." is the sentiment set up as one of the core values of their partnership starting from the very moment she decides to ask lan to be her warder. surely, this will end well for all parties and will NOT have any tragic implications!

it sets up this really harsh poetic symmetry (surprise) when they have their Big Fight™ in the great hunt. moiraine LITERALLY invokes how they first met with funny little jokes abt him throwing her in a pond to get his defenses down so she can jump scare him w an intense re-examination of their relationship. the whole fight is basically her forcing him to think on his toes so she can examine him at his most basic emotional level in order to try and expose the truth abt how he feels, going from playful to painful at the flip of a coin lol. and he's aware of it!!! him calling her out on it and her answering back w patented Aes Sedai Speak, in a relationship that should be free of such manipulation.....

the real master stroke here, though, is the fact that the chapter is from moiraine's pov. we get to see her own inner thoughts about it and see that beneath the devastating chess game she's playing she's just as heartbroken at having to play it. the argument is really a crystalization of what makes her such an interesting character for me -- she is leveraging absolutely brutal social dynamics in order to, from her perspective, HELP someone she cares for deeply.

essentially, moiraine is saying that in his love for nynaeve he's found something to live for beyond sacrifice and that means that their bond to each other must be terminated. he can create a new life, and bc she thinks she understands how everything will play out moiraine thinks she is just cutting down the time before he realizes he can and will ask for her to dissolve the bond anyway. he isn't wed to death anymore, leaving the heavy implication that moiraine still is.

which sets us up for something really interesting for them in s2 i think! while their relationship in the show seems to generally be under less strain than it is where we see them in the mainline series, there remains another crucial difference btw the books and the show -- moiraine has siuan!!!!! im rly excited to see how that comes into play in terms of any potential interpretation of this fight/the breakdown of lan and moiraine's relationship bc it makes her decision to push him away feel even more hypocritical and rooted in her tendency to be self-sacrificing to the point of self loathing.

tldr for anyone just trying to figure out what this might all mean for season two according to one singular poster on tumblr dot com: in the books moiraine feels very........time to burn all bridges so no one can chase after me on my suicide mission basically and i can't say im NOT excited to see if that's where she ends up in the show (to live is to suffer etc etc)

[gothamcityneedsme]

im usually all for fiction only needing to follow its own logic and i dont need realism all the time BUT one of my exceptions is like. characters sleeping. someone like writes an amount of not sleeping that would cause Actual Death and im like. Thats probably not what youre going for

or just making characters who like often go 35+ hours with no sleep and im like. that ultimately just. Doesnt work.

hey.... hi....

[eccentric-objects]

okay just had a thought about the death dreams

so in jackies death dream, nobody seems to be aware that it is a dream and the only person who realizes it is jackie when she sees laura lee, and also nobody tries to stop anything

in lotties death dream both lottie and laura lee know it isn't actually real and then laura lee pushes lottie out of it to save her

in bens death dream he sorta knows its not real but in a dissociated, maladaptive daydream kind of way and paul especially in the last one knows that something is wrong and forces ben out of the daydream. but the most interesting part is the phone call where he says that he isn't ready and the way he says "I love you. we all love you" but he says it in an almost resigned way as if he wants to save ben but he cant

idk what any of this means but I'm feeling emotions over it
