ok but the disir is such a good episode though....
#it's not even in the imbd top 10 rated episodes... 😔#I love the disir and the drawing of the dark#it's partly because I'm obsessed with merlin and mordred's dynamic#partly because they're pivotal episodes in the overarching narrative#but also - and don't take this too seriously bc it's 2am#something about archetypes and themes that go back to the greek tragedies#the disir is about human hubris and trying to escape destiny and defying the gods#and being punished for your arrogance#and in the drawing of the dark... the self-fullfiling prophecy#oedipal stuff (not in the freudian sense)#the whole series is about this of course#but these two eps... that's literally what they're all about#do you know what I mean#bc I'm not sure I know what I mean#ramblings

i’ve said already many times that The First David Job is one of my favourite episodes for sophie in Leverage, usually in reference to the scene with her, nate & sterling on the rooftop. BUT i also love that episode for her relationship with parker! when sophie says "what would parker do?" and follows the knowledge she’s learnt from parker, it’s a very good almost-end to their season one arc.
over the course of season one, sophie’s gone from saying the same thing as eliot about parker - "there’s something wrong with you" (pilot) - to acting as a maternal figure (feeling parker’s forehead in The Two Horse Job) and mentoring her (The Juror #6 Job). she’s started to get some insight into parker’s past (The Stork Job) and has a rather unique way of seeing parker, noticing the vulnerability and loneliness under her fairly spiky exterior. however, appreciating parker’s expertise is a different thing entirely. The First David Job makes it clear that sophie’s actually been listening to parker and that she trusts parker’s expertise!! sophie takes a very literal leap of faith off the building, lol.
it’s important to me because it shows sophie doesn’t simply pity parker, doesn’t write her off. she’s learnt to appreciate that parker is indeed a very competent, analytical, knowledgeable professional in her field. she sees that same passion for the craft (the craft of crime, yes lol) in parker that she experiences herself. and this all mirrors how sophie comes to appreciate and trust parker’s ability to talk to the mark in The White Rabbit Job towards the end of their whole-series arc. gah!! this First David scene, it’s a good moment. it’s a great moment!! and notably there’s a similar thing between nate and hardison there, likely between nate and parker as well since he’s masterminding this plan.
#leverageposting#leverage#parker leverage#sophie devereaux#sophie devereaux leverage#and let’s just say that sophie’s reaction to rappelling in the extended pilot vs in this episode is very different hahaha#does this make sense? is this reasonable? many of the first season arcs really foreshadow the whole-series/later series arcs.#not sure about this one ngl#sometimes i think i read sophie differently to a lot of people but idk if that’s bc i’m wrong or bc she’s just not focused on that much#when i say ‘relationship’ i don’t mean romance i just don’t know how else to say it. the platonic/motherl-child/mentor-mentee relationship#i mean if you ship them tho that’s cool too of course

the fact that thorn describes the stoats as "becoming more human" and that part of being human is doing anything for the people you love and that the goal of being a human is to "carry on loving." i am fine about the stoat show. i am normal about the stoats.
#dimension 20#d20#burrow's end#i have more thoughts but. god.#the whole series is about what being a person Means and what being a person Pushes Us To Do and of course. of course that ends in love.#being a person is about experiencing unimaginable sorrow and indescribable joy.#it's about believing you can put your head up and look for a day where you won't be so tired anymore.#anyways. good work team.#aabria if i planned on having a firstborn child i'd offer them to you.

I started reading beastars so now HE's reading beastars .wait
THEY'RE reading beastars
#nobody gets a prize for correctly guessing which character yakumo relates to most#when the anime first came out and everybody hopped on the hype train#i scratched my chin thoughtfully and wondered.... would i like this? it seems like i would like this. should i watch it?#and all my friends around me said 'nah you'll probably hate it. it's really sad'#so i trusted them and ignored beastars the whole time. until now. when i saw the entire series at my LOCAL LIBRARY!!!!#so of course the curiosity wins out and i start reading it and i REALLY LIKE IT?? WTF WERE MY FRIENDS ON ABOUT?#this is sad yes but most of the time it's FUNNY? and also ANIMALS R COOL? bruh. i can't trust my friends' opinions of me anymore#anyway. due to the nature of my current nuca fixation timing. i kept thinking of it while reading#drawing parallels that may only exist in my mind LOL#i can imagine yaku being a freak over legoshi and his quest to become strong but not falling to his instincts and etc.etc.#yakugaru having a manga reading session in either o their bedrooms... lying on the floor engrossed in beastly tales...#these two would absolutely have a debate about which chara is most similar to eiden#to yaku it is obvs haru but i feel like garu would see eiden in a less.... prey sort of way#or maybe they'd agree on the haru comparison!! but yaku might hesitate to voice the 'mr eiden... has to be protected...' thoughts#and garu would proudly proclaim how eiden and haru share traits like bravery/outgoingness/super cool and go-getter/wise and worldly???#i kept staring down louis like.... you're some mix of dante and edmond... and something else....#UGH i like all the characters... they all have their charms.... they are all such creatures#honestly yahya the entire time was just relatable content and after seeing the way he lived out the rest of his life *chef's kiss* GOALS#nu carnival yakumo#nu carnival garu

Gwyneth and Rhysand
Having the same traumas:
Both being victim of SA
Rhys said quietly, “I was a prisoner in her court for nearly fifty years. I was tortured and beaten and fucked until only telling myself who I was, what I had to protect, kept me from trying to find a way to end it. Please—help me keep that from happening again. To Prythian.” ~ acomaf ch.11 “I hadn’t yet participated in the Great Rite, and we were so remote up there that I never had the chance to lie with a male, and he took that from me, too. And then he called over three of his soldiers and told them to keep going until I revealed where the children had gone.” ~ acosf ch.68
Losing their sisters in the most brutal way
“... I was supposed to be there. I wasn’t. And they slaughtered my mother and sister anyway.”... “It should have been me,”... “They put their heads in boxes and sent them down the river—to the nearest camp. Tamlin’s father kept their wings as trophies. I’m surprised you didn’t see them pinned in the study.” ~ acomaf ch.45 “... So he grabbed Catrin, because our scents were nearly identical, you see, and told me that if I didn’t reveal where the children were, he’d kill her. And when I didn’t give the children up …” Her mouth shook. “He beheaded Catrin right there, along with two other priestesses...” ~ acosf ch.68
Having the same blood rite experience:
He could still feel the crumbling rock beneath his boots, hear the rasp of his breathing as he half hauled Rhys up the slopes, Azriel providing cover behind.* ~ acofas ch.3 Nesta marveled at the hope and bravery in their faces. “I can hold them off.” *... She didn’t wait for Emerie to speak before she helped ease Gwyn onto Emerie’s back, the latter hissing at the weight upon her wings, splaying them at awkward angles. ~ acosf ch.69
They won the blood rite and have the Carynthian title. And I wonder if Rhys at any stage of his life thought he's not a real Carynthian because Cassian had to help him and if Gwyn also might feel the same. And maybe they can bond over it...
Being pretty AF:
Standing before me was the most beautiful man I’d ever seen. ~ acotar ch.20 If Rhysand was the most beautiful male I’d ever seen, she [Mor] was his female equivalent. ~ acomaf ch.6 The priestess had been pretty in the library, but with that joy, that confidence as she aimed for the three priestesses, she had emerged into a beauty to rival Merrill or Mor. ~ acosf ch.29
2+2=?
Nerds...
Az, of course, had been fascinated. Rhys had built the model himself centuries ago. It could not only track the sun, but also tell time, and it somehow allowed Rhys to ponder the existence of life beyond their own world and other things Cassian had, again, instantly forgotten. ~ acosf ch.3 “I could only pick up every other word,” Rhys said. Feyre arched a brow. “You speak the language of the ancient Fae?” Rhys shrugged. “My education was thorough.” He waved an idle, graceful hand. “For exactly these situations.” ~ acosf ch.37 “Some philosophers believe there are eleven worlds like that. And some believe there are as many as twenty-six, the last one being Time itself, which …” Gwyn’s voice dropped to a whisper. ~ acosf ch.13 Gwyn let out a breathy laugh. “I mean it. I learned about a new Valkyrie technique last night. It’s called Mind-Stilling.” ~ acosf ch.38
This has nothing to do with their similarity but him being cute and protective<33
The casual smile of a male used to people either fleeing in terror or falling to their knees in worship. “Hello, Gwyn,” he said warmly. “Good to see you again.” Gwyn blushed, shaking herself out of her stupor, and bowed low. “My lord.”... You are to treat Gwyn with kindness and respect. ~ acosf ch.28
*Bonus*:
Gwyn and Rhys were injured and had to be carried to the top while Nesta and Azriel stayed behind to cover for them.
Nesta 🤝 Azriel -> we expected them to have a strong friendship and it happened in hofas. They also have so many similarities!
Gwyn 🤝 Rhys -> ...?
#gimme my friendship!!!#JANET I'M WAITING#these are all surface level of reading#and when I found the time to reread the whole series I will make another detailed post about them#this post is very colorful lol#I overused it... sorry#rhysand#pro rhysand#gwyneth berdara#rhysand archeron#pro gwyneth berdara#high lord of the night court#high lord rhysand#rhysand acotar#gwyn acosf#acosf#acomaf#feysand#gwynriel#also that line#“Az of course had been fascinated.”#I know...#that's right#gwynsand

Personal opinion incoming! Please don't see this as a cue to bash me or other artists.
--
One thing I was never really a fan of about the more popular depictions of Elias is that he looks so cartoonishly evil but in a queer-coded way.
#if I'm going to seriously characterize him if tma was my own story#I'd honestly make him transphobic#which a queer can be of course but honestly I'm not sure if I see Elias as queer or as someone who just reallycares about control#or maybe not even transphobic but cold and calculating#he wouldn't hesitate to tell you the things that would hurt you the most#and I just like the idea of the main antagonist just wearing a plain suit and no other knick knacks#just a good contrast between what he appears as and what he actually is#I appeared long after the series ended so I completely missed the whole Peter/Elias bit#so it surprises me that the fandom just sees it as canon#anyway I have more things to say but the tags are getting really long

A Silly Post
So I have that amazing Kirby 30th Anniversary collection of wall magnets, right? They're wonderful and I love them so much and have them hanging by my desk and look at them every day.
Until...
I woke up one morning to discover...it was gone! Apparently, I'd hung the magnet board I got to display them badly and they all fell during the night. I searched under my desk and could only find a few of them. The board, with the rest intact, fell behind MY CLOSET.
The rest of the Kirby gang are still trapped there, because MY CLOSET is huge, heavy, and completely unstable, and any attempts to move it could cause it to come crashing down! But here's the thing.
Check out the surviving figures...
Do they look like they'd make a fun cast for a big adventure story about rescuing the rest of the Dream Land gang or what?!
We're missing Coo and no Bandanna Waddle Dee to be found either, but you've got a good spread of key players, either way! (Dess is just happy because my beloved Marx and Magolor survived.)
Anyway, yeah, that's my brief summary of the plot of the newest game, "Kirby and the Impossible Closet" (Maybe this is the game where Kracko gets to be the last boss, finally?)
#Kirby#Kirby series#Dess Silly Post#I could get behind a Kirby + Animals + Tricksters cast#Meta Knight is there from the beginning too of course#But he HAS to start off aloof about the whole thing!#Can't be seen breaking character! ^_-#The tricksters also have to be recruited by force#Mostly because everyone thinks THEY were responsible!#Magolor insists he'd never do something to hurt Kirby#...But Marx incriminates Mags (and himself) for giggles#(Also because it's too tempting to troll Kirby!)

As much as I adore SP and wish that it would get an animated show, I do not think that society is ready for that series to be mainstream. Purity/respectability politics are already really prevalent in fandoms and media comprehension is not always at its best, and SP is like…really problematic. Mainly intentionally, but there are also numerous aspects that were legitimate failures on Derek’s part that would get people eviscerated in any larger fandom.
Hell, Skulduggery and Valkyrie’s relationship ALONE would probably be enough for any decent-sized fandom to nuke itself, let alone any of the other many, many parts of this series that are absolutely insane. The fact that this is a kid’s series is wild.
I personally love this series, but I don’t think it’s for the faint of heart and my friends/family are always appalled whenever I try to explain literally any of the plot or characters to them.
#I’m happy we’re small because I love you guys#but holy shit this fandom would not survive any number of fandom puritans#this whole series is based on the concept of problematic characters doing problematic things in a problematic system#and then of course. you could get into the whole discussion about problematic queerness in this series#both intentional and unintentional#anyways I wanna talk about skulduggery and valkyrie more#fingers crossed for an animated show 🤞#skulduggery pleasant#i am once again skulduggeryposting#this series is deranged and I love it to pieces

I really want to know how Lilith Sorrengail feels about trying her best to get her youngest daughter away from whatever it was that her dad supposedly found in the Archives after Brennan 'died', just to get said daughter even more involved with the tyrrish rebellion two: electric boogaloo.
#fourth wing#ngl my first thought reading the book was 'oh shit she Knew brennan wanted to use his sis as a scribe informant for the rebellion the same#way he maybe used his dad and she was like hell no and put her in the riders quadrant to get her brainwashed that navarre is right instead#so that she doesn't end up dead like spy-scribe dad and his questionable research into ward magic'#but then i thought about it more and decided i wasn't giving papa sorrengail enough credit bcoz he was Up to Something and got got for it#personally if my entire family was lying to me abt my big bro being alive i would lose my shit. that being said i find it incredibly funny#that everyone who knew violet best were like 'she finds out venin are a thing and she WILL do A Stupid out of righteous fury'#not A Stupid like smthn dumb; A Stupid like lead the entire scribe quadrant to a bloody revolution against Navarre Babel-style#I can't wait for this series to finish publishing so I can sit my ass down and plot out a scribe-revolution-leader-Violet AU#it can even be a viden secret arranged marriage. as a treat. because we need to merge the two rebellions of course#where is tiern in all of this? he got stuck babysitting teen andarna who is Super Mad her rider is a scribe. The Audacity! Navarre Will Pay#teenage dragon shenanigans occur. Scribe Violet bonds two dragons in front of her whole year. they're in the underground scribe library.#how did two enormous-ass lizards get in? nobody gives a shit. all scribes are too sleep-deprieved to care about distinguishing between#real life and halucinations. the dragons stay in the library. they get sat on because it's cold underground and fire lizards are Warm#command tries to find out if smthn weird is happening in the scribe quadrant but at this point every single one of them is in the rebellion#they have 600yrs of misinfo to correct. venin to dissect. what dragons? in the library? don't be ridiculous they'd burn the books#anyways i got carried away but library cats!tiern and andarna#kei writes

"It is too easy to dismiss [Leonor of Navarre] as an overambitious schemer who would do anything to obtain a crown, shedding the blood of her own siblings and her subjects in order to attain the throne. However, a deeper investigation of her long lieutenancy and ephemeral reign shows a woman who fought tenaciously to preserve her place but also worked tirelessly to administer a realm which was crippled by internal conflict and the center of the political schemes of France, Aragon, and Castile. She tried to broker peace, fight off those who opposed her, repair the wounds caused by conflict, protect the sovereignty of the realm, and keep the wheels of governance turning. Leonor was not always successful in achieving all of these aims but given the background of conflict and the lack of cooperation she received from all of her family members, bar her loyal husband, it is a huge achievement that she survived to wear the crown at all. Many writers have argued that Leonor deserved the troubled lieutenancy, personal tragedies, an ephemeral reign, and a blackened reputation, basing their assumption that she committed a crime that cannot be [conclusively] proven. However, a more fitting description of her would be that of a resolute ruler who successfully overcame a multitude of challenges in order to survive in a difficult political landscape and gain a hard-fought throne.”
-Elena Woodacre, "Leonor of Navarre: The Price of Ambition", Queenship, Gender and Reputation in the Medieval and Early Modern West, 1060-1600 (Edited by Zita Eva Rohr and Lisa Benz)
#historicwomendaily#leonor of navarre#15th century#Navarrese history#my post#I mean...the crime can't be explicitly 'proven' but Leonor DID have the means motive and opportunity; she had the most to gain;#the timing was incredibly convenient for her; and most contemporaries believed she was responsible.#She *did* ultimately act against her brother [Carlos] and sister [Blanca]#Though of course the fact remains that:#1) The final responsibility lies with Juan the Faithless: he was the King; the one in power; and the one who rejected Navarre's succession#Blanca herself - while criticizing Leonor and Gaston - placed the ultimate blame on their father as her 'principal...destructor'#All three siblings were reacting to an unconventional disruption in the system caused by Juan & their actions should be judged accordingly.#2) I am hesitant to believe accusations of 'poison' as a cause of murder given how that was commonly used to slander controversial women#and given how it contributed to the dichotomy of Blanca as a tragic beautiful heroine and Leonor as her scheming ambitious sister#3) Even if Leonor DID commit the crime (imo she was at the very least complicit in it) she is still worthy of a reassessment.#I don't think it's fair for it to define her entire identity#Because it certainly did not define her life - she lived for decades before and would live for decades after#It was on the whole one of the many series of obstacles and challenges she had to face before she succeeded in ascending the throne.#The fact that she died so soon after IS ironic but it is in equal parts tragic. And we don't know what Leonor herself felt about it:#Did she think it was a hollow victory? Or did she feel nothing but satisfaction that she died as the Queen of Navarre? We'll never know.#Whatever the case: given her circumstances the fact that she survived to wear the crown itself was an achievement#It's funny because Woodacre parallels Leonor to Richard III in terms of 'blackened' reputations for 'unproven' (...sure) crimes#(thankfully she admits Richard has been long-rehabilitated; what she doesn't bring herself to admit is that he's now over-glorified)#But I don't think this parallel works at all for the exact reasons she uses to try and reassess Leonor#Namely: Richard was the one in power. He was the King. The ultimate blame for what happened to his nephews was his own.#and moreover: Richard's actions against the Princes DID define his reign and were exactly what provoked opposition to his rule.#Any so-called 'rehabilitation' that doesn't recognize and emphasize this is worthless#also if we want to get specific: the Princes were literal children who did nothing and were deposed in times of peace.#Carlos and Blanca were adults with agency and armies and Leonor's actions against them took place in the middle of a civil war#So ultimately I think Leonor's case is fundamentally very different and I don't think her comparison holds well at all

also uh while i'm writing something in this era of s2. are we ever going to talk about that time at the very end of the season that tucker literally murdered a bunch of defenseless children that were the last of what remained of ianite at mianite's behest and the only reason that any survived was because jordan and martha agreed on something for once in their goddamn lives and worked together to hide one where tucker couldn't find it? because im gonna be real right now: what the fuck was that. What the actual fuck. It didn't even lead to anything. Ianite wasn't even revived afterwards so narratively it was all for nothing anyways. Genuinely, what the fuck man.
#apollo's tag#mcyt#mianite#that was one of the most fucked up parts of s2 for me. i mean the entire season had its problems but like.#that was just straight out of the plot of a horror film dude. of course it didnt help that tucker fucking lost it and was laughing#maniacally the whole time but yknow#i think that for the sake of this fic i am simply not going to mention it and it will be fine#LIKE SURE DUDE IT WAS FOR THE GREATER GOOD BUT ALSO WHAT THE /FUCK/#IM SURE THERE WERE BETTER WAYS TO SHOW THAT MIANITE WAS EVIL DUDE. THE FORESHADOWING WAS THERE. BUT LIKE#ok. ok. tbf i know that im complaining about this in the super specially fucked up season of the generally morally fucked up series anyway#but it didnt even have any narrative impact#tucker literally killed like twenty ianitas for *nothing*
