What’s wrong babe? You’re thinking about Glinda’s face before she is handed the torch to light the funeral effigy of her friend? Her best friend who was fundamental to the woman she has become? The woman that she abandoned at the most pivotal moment of their lives in an act of cowardice that she has spent the rest of her life running from? Her best friend that, through her own lack of action when it counted most, is widely believed to have deserved her murder?

my timephoon hot take is that the episode was literally fine, it's the episodes that came AFTER it that fucked things up

Me normally: Let people love what they love

Me, after a Test Match Special commentator expresses their belief that the new All Creatures Great and Small is somehow "better" than the 1978 version: This is pure insanity and TMS can no longer be trusted on anything, how can they even be trusted to know about cricket, do they have no TASTE

I was rewatching The Stone Forest and I really like to think that Hilda had to pass by the Bell Keeper’s outpost on her way out of the city limits. I like to think that idiot looked at what was happening, shrugged, and said ‘eh, she’s the scariest thing out there’

everytime i watch shameless I get hit with a jolt of sickness and remember how frank and monica stole fionas life from her and she'll never get it back because it never existed because she was a sister first her whole life (from the age of 4) and everything else second and its always just so casual in the show and normal and rarely touched upon but it's not normal at all and it's tragic

something I really love about Yuri's character growth between childhood and teenhood is how... relaxed, openly nurturing, sillier, and happier he became.

I think a lot about how sometimes I feel like Yuri was a bit too harsh with the other kids. like, yes, they did a LOT of dumb things, but I think Yuri's reactive responses, which were understandable annoyance and aggravation at their behavior, could've been better solved with calmness and softer tones. if he had gently nudged the other kids when they all went outside the barrier to be quieter for instance, such as suggesting Jareth simply sing extremely softly (thus being accepting of his feelings and happiness outside the barrier but still warning him/reminding him to be careful), I think the other kids would've been more receptive. I think if he'd been understanding about their excitement and just softly urged them to be happy but quietly, they could've avoided more problems.

and I think that's really noticeable in how Yuri acts as an adult and as a teen. he is softer in his voice - something he started doing as a teen. he's less reactive and more likely to speak softly and understandingly, even at times that he feels he needs to be firm. as a teen, his first reaction to situations that he's not fond of in relation to Flynn, Jareth and Jiri aren't as whiplash emotional. he's more understanding and more likely to stop and think about how to respond. he gets emotional, but he doesn't react in outbursts anymore. by the time he's an adult, it takes a lot to get Yuri angry, and he also cools off very easily.

Jareth especially is a big one. as kids, Yuri used to get snappy at things he did. as a teen, he instead gets quiet. he'll raise some concerns and he won't hide if he's bothered, but he's much calmer about it and more openly worried than he is annoyed. as a kid, Jareth acted out if he was yelled at. they had this sort of back and forth, push and pull relationship sometimes. but if Yuri had been more receptive to Jareth as children, Jareth might not have been so pushy about his responses (or to Flynn in turn).

and of course they were just seven year old kids, so like, of course Yuri didn't really have that logic pipeline, but that's what I love about his progression to his teenage years. by then he does have that ability to make a logical conclusion. when Jareth is upsetting him at dinner, he voices his concerns, but he doesn't snap at him. when he's worried about Jareth's behavior, he's quiet and thinking about it and it's noticed by Flynn, but Yuri doesn't react to it in any way that would put Jareth on the defensive like he did as a child.

I just really love the huge differences in his personality and his reactionary behavior between the child and teen arc. I know I joke about teen Yuri being a perfect little baby angel and the sweetest little guy ever, but I do really think he's at his best and happiest in the teen arc than he is in any Vesperia media that's prior to post game. like, after the game's timeline, I think Yuri is starting to heal from all the emotional damage he's had since his teenage years (that's a whole other post I've already made LOL). I just think that Yuri would be a very different person as an adult if Jiri and Jareth hadn't died and if Flynn hadn't moved away after that insanity. I think if all the chaos hadn't happened in the teen arc that Yuri would have become a very different person based on who he was as a teen.

i wanna transplant a lot of how ive written botw/totk link into my og one i think..... mostly just because writing for him last year made me realise how much i enjoy seeing how far you can go with using minimal dialogue + actions and expressions over words to convey thoughts and feelings, both from that pov and from others

george lucas handed an overwritten mess in and then the fandom + otherwise involved creators in the extended universe and other supplemental media have spent the last decades ritualistically dissecting it and reworking it’s constituent parts into some of the most fascinating worldbuilding you can get. and the average person has no knowledge of this and just watched disney completely fumble it within an hour and a half of their first title crawl in The Force Awakens and proceed to completely fall apart within the next 3 hours . and that’s just what star wars is to them

If they had a kid meme for nakano and miki

send me a ship and I’ll tell you their:

Name: Taishiro Ader

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Taishiro has his mama's salmon hair with the underside of his hair being blonde like his mother's, he also has his mother's yellow eyes. His facial features hold an even mixture of both masculine and feminine, but everyone mentions how his most prominent feature is his long eyelashes.

Personality: Taishiro is a very serious young man who often has a tendency to over-indulge himself in his work, sometimes even doing so so much to the point he forgets to eat. Due to this, Taishiro is prone to falling asleep at random intervals throughout the day if he isn't focusing on anything in particular (such as work or studying). He also has a very soft voice when he speaks, but retains a deep tone when he speaks. He often seems as if he's cold towards those that he knows, yet this is not the case at all, he simply has a hard time speaking with others due to his serious nature.

Special Talents: Taishiro has the unnatural ability to predict what others are thinking or are going to say before they say it. He can't exactly explain why he can do such a thing, but he often finds the ability very useful.

Who they like better: Taishiro honestly prefers Nakano over Miki simply due to the fact that she's just as serious as he is. The both of them have a similar personality when it comes to work, though Taishiro is slightly better at being social than Nakano is.

Who they take after more: Again, Nanako. He is basically a younger and male version of her despite looking more like Miki. Most times, due to being better at speaking than his mother, Taishiro has a tendency to accept and plan her jobs for her.

Personal Headcanon: Due to the fact that Taishiro was born partially deaf, he wears a special pair of headphones that are specifically designed to enhance sound and voices in order to help him process things in an easier fashion. When he is without his headphones, he communicates with sign language or places one hand upon the other person's throat (to feel the vibrations) and his other hand (mainly his fingers) over said person's lips to feel the words they're mouthing.

Face Claim: Al-haitham

Name: Ryuko Ader

Gender: Female

General Appearance: Ryuko has her mother's (Nakano's) long blonde hair and her mama's (Miki's) red eyes, additionally, she possesses very delicate looking eyelashes just like her older twin brother. Ryuko also lines her eyes with red eye make-up to give them a more elegant appearance.

Personality: Ryuko is a young woman who enjoys having fun and toying with people's emotions. She has a tendency to woo others with ease, yet has no actual desire to be with anyone that she seduces, but instead enjoys watching them fight with one another over her. She is very classy in the way that she presents herself and often speaks with honeyed words and a sultry tone of voice, hence making her the obsession of any man she comes into contact with. Despite this though, Ryuko has and will abandon anyone she is currently toying with if her brother is nearby or requires assistance from her (this is because she knows that her older brother struggles with things and has trouble hearing things without his headphones).

Special Talents: Ryuko is a very talented and well known fan dancer. She often preforms for those around her and even sings during her performances, adorning decorative dresses with matching fans. In fact, she has won countless competitions and due to this, she own various types of dresses and fan. Additionally, Taishiro was the very first person to witness one of her performances and he is the one who encouraged her to continue dancing.

Who they like better: Miki. Ryuko prefers Miki over Nakano. She's not really a big fan of how serious Nakano is when it comes to their work ethic or Ryuko's behavior when seducing men.

Who they take after more: Ryuko takes most after her mama, Miki. She's much more laid back in comparison with her mother, Nakano.

Personal Headcanon: Much like their mama, Ryuko and her older twin brother are covered in tattoos personally done and designed by Miki. Though unlike Taishiro, Ryuko's tattoos are in places that are covered by her clothes so that the skin she has exposed still seems elegant like her clothing style. Additionally, her tattoos are done in white and gold ink while Taishiro's are done in teal and gold.

at some point i am going to have to force even to go back and deal with donna & tentoo & rose & all and everything they ran away from. and that will probably involve them losing tentoo’s chameleon arch watch by giving it back to its rightful owner, whether she chooses to open it or not. and that is. not going to be a very fun or stable time for them.
