#the most pathetic he's ever been

[babymadeofbones]

would just like to thank raúl esparza for the episode in season 3 of nbc hannibal where all he's doing is gasping and shaking and crying and whimpering and moaning and whining. i'm extremely normal about it in case you couldn't tell.

The compelling thing about Jason as a character is that I never doubted that he cared about the world just because there weren’t panels of him being overly zealous about “restorative community care”

I’m not coming after anyone who wants to see that kind of stuff, but I do think seeking | that | as confirmation that Jason cares about the world is pretty narrow

Identity review, Rosespanner Greg:

He has-

a pattern of almost killing himself and his coworkers with a faulty chainsaw

a crippling addiction to caffeine

no apartment, no patents, no self-destruct update on his arm, no screws, no beard (accidentally burned off with flamethrower arm)

a dislike of being alone

a crippling addiction to nicotine

a job that is very obviously sucking the life out of him to fuel a capitalist system that couldn’t give a shit if he dies, which he’s aware of completely but believes he may still escape it all if he makes enough money, further fueling that cruel system

a crippling addiction to the previously mentioned faulty chainsaw

Verdict:

[kyouka-supremacy]

Well.

I'm very curious, how did you get into Star Wars? Are you a returning fan or is this a new media fixation for you?

oh no it’s very new for me, lol. i mean i did see the films growing up and already knew the basic facts that inescapably pervade all of pop culture, but i never had an actual interest in the series until recently. part of it is literally just because i havent been able to play video games as much this year bc of health problems, so i’ve needed stuff i can just watch/read while resting rather than sitting at a pc, and i’ve found star wars stuff is kinda good for that because it’s. very silly and has lots of different supplemental materials, and. extremely convoluted/messy/interesting lore that has been weirdly helpful for passing the time some days. my interest got piqued from just listening to random videos about different shows & movies in the background because i never just watch tv like a normal person, and at some point i was putting on random star wars stuff bc it stuck in my head, and by then it was too late. i’m mostly just interested in the OT/prequels, but i also like a lot of the comics and some of the older paperbacks i can get my hands on, even if the contents can be weird or inconsistent (plus i just rly like the 80s-90s era cover designs…..they’re neat…)

part of me was definitely intimidated by being an uninitiated enjoyer of what is probably one of the most historied & divisive long-running series ever, but a bigger more evil part of me that somehow loves things like the zelda timeline was like ‘no, we can handle this…What Do You Mean There’s A Guy Named Salacious Crumb’ and now here i am

Started watching a "problem with greek myth retellings" video and it began with a blurb montage like "Condemned by the misogynist guys of history, this is the true girlboss feminist story of [A WOMAN]" and like. brb writing one of those about crown prince rudolf. It's ok he's like a misunderstood girlboss to me<3

Sheesh! Azulon is such a spoiled brat, huh? 🤣

... Yes. He is.

Ngl, I rewatched LOTR's trilogy over the past three days and I was surprised by something in it that I immediately connected to Azulon. I've never seen anyone else draw this parallel with LOTR, instead I only ever see people in the fandom constantly comparing Azulon, intentionally or not, with Tywin Lannister.

... as far as I'm concerned, Azulon is Denethor. Full stop.

Even if you want to think the guy loved his firstborn? He was a twisted, pissy asshole who wanted to cling to power at all costs, that above all else, and his "beloved" son was his best means to achieve that. Hell, I'd argue Azulon wouldn't even be likely to have the "last minute awakening" that Denethor did regarding Faramir... but Denethor's behavior over Boromir is 100% the same as Azulon's over Iroh. "Oh, my perfect, glorious, wonderful son who can get everything right, and whose useless brother can't ever measure up to! I'm going to idealize you and give you all the privileges and glorious missions and pretend you could've achieved anything, while he was worth less than the dirt under your feet!"

So, yes, the way I write Azulon is so much closer to Denethor, specifically in terms of how he treats his family, than to Tywin Lannister and all the fandom's attempts to rationalize and justify his treatment of Ozai, all be it because "baby killed my wife". Worth noting? There's no solid evidence of that: Ilah is as good as a non-character, nobody knows what kind of relationship he had with her, Azulon very well could have used her as a brooding mare and nothing more, for all we know... but along with this? A bastard of Azulon's caliber, who helmed the Fire Nation's war for THE LONGEST PERIOD out of all three canon Fire Lords, does not need any greater excuses to treat his second-born like trash, much like Denethor didn't. :')

Of course, I take Azulon a bit further than most people by depicting his insecurities over his newborn granddaughter... I think there's no logical explanation for him to overlook Azula and be as unaffected by her as he's shown to be in Zuko Alone's flashback. She's a prodigy, she should be a useful weapon for him, at the very least...! And he's completely unconcerned with her. He actually shows more reaction to Zuko than he does to Azula. Hmm. Makes ya wonder, huh? :')

So yeah, I think there are many layers to how twisted Azulon is. Dude really took things to a whole other level of BS and kept doing it until the very end. Fandom can call me crazy as much as it cares to, but I don't think any grandfather who demands for the death of his grandson as a punishment for his second son's impertinence should EVER be given the "benefit of the doubt", or granted any excuses for this behavior just because Ozai was a shitty human being. Ozai sure was one: and he learned exactly how to be that way from daddy dearest himself :')

geara I have feelings for you. most of them are incomprehensible though

[katierosefun]

step 1 of watching suits: haha fun plot! look at this little guy pretending to be a law school graduate. yeah this won't have any consequences whatsoever

step 2 of watching suits: oh this little guy and that bigshot lawyer have some good chemistry. yeah they're both committing a crime by having him work at this new york big law firm but it's fun :)

step 3 of watching suits: they're actually facing consequences to their actions now, but oh god i don't want to see either of them lose. yes, they did something terrible but don't we all want to feel a bit special. don't we all feel stuck. doesn't our own ambition swallow us whole. don't we feel insanely loyal to the person who gave us everything. we're going down together. if you go, i go.

[dragynkeep]

Theres goes Miles Luna stirring up the whiterose shippers 😒. Doesn't he have a wife now? Why is he still milking for attention from teen girls?

These creators need to stop getting so involved in fandom matters, is2g

[mollypaup]

Orth Godlove male characters I could fold like a metal chair /pos

[akkivee]

throwback to that anime japan hangout livestream where a viewer sent in a letter saying they want to take a photo with ramuda and doppo in the photo booth and totto replied, ‘i get why you’d want a pic with ramuda but why doppo 💀’ LMAO

[eviltothecore13]

lots of people in this fandom CLAIM to love Gomez but when someone makes a post with Morticia as "Barbie is everything" and Gomez as "he's just Ken", it gets likes and reblogs

like...isn't that meme essentially saying "he's bland and boring/doesn't do anything interesting/is no good at anything and has nothing special about him, and no-one cares about him that much because he's just some bland generic guy with no personality beyond being a sidekick"?

do the majority of fans genuinely believe Gomez has no personality and no interesting traits?

[captain-amadeus]

Oh my fucking god that🌹was intentional wasn't it?

[rancidarling]

it's probably such a good thing I didn't grow up in America because anytime I went to someone's house and they had a bb gun, I'd just be obsessed with it and trying to be subtle about how interested I was in using it and also wanting to know what it would be like to shoot someone with it 😍
