The fact that the fans didn’t get violent about the dating scandals is low-key the most unrealistic part of the movie 😭😭

i love when i fall behind on bell's hells, see people being incredibly angry at orym with no context, and then when i catch up i find out it's over something like him (33 passive perception) overhearing a conversation that was happening out loud in the same room that he (33 passive perception) was in and him (33 passive perception) finding comfort in his friends (a normal thing for people to do) before he (33 passive perception) tuned out and away from them because he (33 passive perception) wasn't eavesdropping on purpose (he has a 33 passive perception and the conversation was happening in the same room)

one thing that i like about lord of the rings is that it doesn’t just focus on the big battles and quests and everything! it takes the time to tell you about the towns and cities and tells you about the people, and sure, tolkien goes into some level of boring detail but it’s like the world is inhabited not just by larger than life fantasy characters but real actual people. idk that really sticks out to me and i think it’s something about lord of the rings that a lot of later fantasy authors forget.

Which best describes the ship you're currently most obsessed with?

it doesn't have to accurately describe the ship, just the descriptor you think is the most fitting. all gendered language is there to preserve the meme and should be read as gender neutral. please reblog for a greater sample size. if you are equally obsessed with multiple ships or currently not obsessed with any, just pick a ship you enjoy (if you don't like any ships, the dynamic you think sounds the most entertaining)

edit: if multiple fit perfectly, chose the aspect you like best about the ship

In the mood to get on my knees and suck off some plastic while being told how pretty I look with her cock in my mouth ₊˚ෆ

I hate when i'm about to read something good then i see "cw: incest"

I will NOT read it

You are so right because you could literally write romance about ANYONE and you choose to do it between family??? Bffr

Hot take(?), if it's your cup of tea whatever do your thing, but I dislike stepsibling/parent content 💔 like the power imbalance, blurring the lines between lovers/family, even if it's not blood, just icks me out so bad. I'm not about to spam hate to anyone who does, I just wouldn't ever write that sort of content myself.

[centipedetea]

its killing me that spamton is going thru that situation where people hate woobifying fanon so much that they lean too far in the opposite direction and create fanon 2 where he's cartoonishly evil for no reason

Do elves use the modern English alphabet or is that just how it translates in Sophie's brain because she's a polyglot? If so what does a K look like in modern elven runes? Is K even a rune that exists or is this just how Sophie processes it?

I feel like someone in Hollywood or the music industry needs to clear up the accusations against Christians. Because when it comes to the narrative, everyone who wants to openly do things that are wrong, and then make those wrong things a name tag of "who I am," likes to use words like "welcoming" and "loved" when that's not what they really mean.

You say you want Christians to "welcome" you, and not ask you to change. Thats so misleading. Do you want them to keep being Christians? Because Christians, by definition, are followers of Jesus Christ of Nazareth...who specifically demands that anyone who comes to Him "denies themselves" and let their old selves die. So what the heck do you mean, Selmer? What the heck do you mean, "Christians say they'll welcome me but it's only if I change?" We're all changing. We all identified one way, with our wrongdoings, with our feelings, and then we came to Christ and that part of us died. It's not about our welcome. It's about Him, Him being Lord, and He said "die to yourself." If that's not what you're actively looking for, if you're not looking to change because you realize you need it, then you don't actually want Christianity. You don't actually want anything to do with the real actual person/God Jesus the Christ of Nazareth. You just want to be in the "social club" you've morphed Christianity into.

Welcoming is not about "can you come hang out with us." It's also not about "can you come hang out with us and feel included and also feel approved for every single choice you make." What? Thats just an echo chamber. Nobody who really loves you in your life will accept every single thing about you and approve every choice you make. How much greater is a love that recognizes when and where you're wrong, is not afraid to call you out on it, and is willing to sacrifice your opinion of them and the comfortable space of your relationship if it means the truth might set you free? Because that love cares more about you, the person made in the image of God, than they do your opinions, or the feelings that lie to you and hurt you.

That's actual love. Thats how Christ loves you. But don't you dare say "Christians don't love and welcome me for who I am: they pretend to, but they really just want me to change." There's nothing pretend about it. It's all very up-front. Christ said "come and die, and when your old self is dead, I'll give you new life." We all did it. He is doing it to all of us. We didn't deserve it. If you don't like it, you don't actually want Christianity.

That is the actual definition of love: putting someone else's needs before your own. Not wants. Not feelings. Needs. That's what Jesus will do for you. He'll say, "I see all of who you are, even better than you do, and all of who you are does not deserve my love or my acceptance; in fact, it deserves punishment. But I'll take that punishment. Because I love you anyway. And I'll clean what's messed up in you, and I'll make you your true self."

trying to go through the kpop demon hunter tag and it's either only saja boys or only shipping and it feels like a specially curated hell for me (no hate, i'm just weird)

[septembermonologues]

i absolutely agree about chetney being written off but why is orym catching strays when way back in EXU he was saying he's not a leader and doesn't want to be one and regularly holds imogen up as the hells' leader/spokesperson oh my god

[theweeklydiscourse]

Not yet! But I feel like this ask is an omen that I should. Definitely very interested in the Rumi x Jinu of it all…

I think you'll really like this one! I mean rujinu is already causing discourse (🙄) but i think they are just your cup of tea.

Reporting back now that I’ve watched the movie and…woah.

I heard that there were romantic undertones, I heard that it was shippy BUT I WAS SO UNPREPARED! There were so many moments where I had to stop myself from gasping out loud because of how much I underestimated the rujinu subplot. I genuinely couldn’t believe my eyes (in the best way).

Anon, you were so right with this recommendation and I love you for it. I thought Rumi was a really compelling heroine and I loved that her relationships with Mira and Zoey were important and played a critical role in the narrative. But their closeness also enhanced the significance of Rumi and Jinu’s connection in a way that was peak enemies to lovers. The person who understands her in the most intimate sense is her enemy? PEAK!

I was very surprised by how overt the romance was. I thought it was going to end with the Kdrama first meeting, but then… but then he literally embraces her in the middle of a battle, they meet secretly, they confide in each other , THEY HAVE A ROMANTIC DUET?! The people who made this movie weren’t playing around.

As for the discourse…I can’t understand the people who said they were glad the movie didn’t quite go in a “romantic” direction. I’ve concluded that these people hate fun. A kiss would’ve been an amazing culmination of the feelings built throughout the movie. The fact that they didn’t kiss feels like a strange omission. The aversion to romance by audiences feels sometimes like it’s caused by the audiences’ lack of exposure to good romance and underlying contempt for it.

every 3 months a random blog pops up whose entirely personality trait is to hate on Kelly and make Max seem like a prisoner in his own life, and just. what is going on.

Caitlyn Kiramman hate is thinly veiled misogyny and racism and I'll say it again

Cassian is Alive in the Legends Continuity:

As expected, Andor season two overwrites the first meeting between Cassian and K-2SO from the comic book.

How can there be two versions? Some have theorized that the comic is the official story the Alliance tells. I propose an alternative.

Here's a panel from the comic. In the far right, we see our first Noghri in Disney canon. (Prior even to Rukh's appearance in Rebels.) However, that's not what Noghri look like in Canon.

Canon Noghri:

Legends Noghri:

Obviously, the Cassian/K-2SO comic takes place in the pre-Disney Legends Coninuity. Meaning that Cassian and K-2SO exist in the old timeline. And since Kyle Katarn retrieves the Death Star plans in Legends, that means Cassian is still alive, and he probably survived the war and raised his son Throckmorton.
