i've been thinking about exactly why people portraying one of the other crew members successfully killing Jimmy as a "for what you did to Anya" kind of thing rubs me the wrong way a bit and it's because like..... this is just another form of taking agency away from Anya, in a way. it's kind of framing her as some meek, shivery woman-thing who's entirely at the mercy of the men around her, either to hurt her or save her.

(i understand these are mostly for wish fulfillment on the audience's behalf because everyone would like to see Jimmy pay for his crimes. whether or not this is the intention of the person writing it isn't really relevant, characterization happens with or without intent. i feel like it misses the point by portraying it as an 'ideal ending'.)

because... Anya is a capable person. she takes things into her own hands when she can. it was partially(?) her idea to get into the cargo,

(before he interrupts her.. remember when she interrupted Curly in the dead pixel segment?)

it was her idea to get the code scanner from the cockpit,

it was her idea to get the medication from behind the foam.

(the chance to do these things herself is not given to her.)

she'd been keeping Curly alive for months in a critical state somehow, her psych evaluations at the start are only so useless because Jimmy refuses to take it/her seriously and Curly is obviously biased when he puts it into his own hands. he's known him a long time, like he said. "I'll just put good for that one."

there's not a lot of material to work with because of how the game is framed, but it's there. we are working with two very biased perspectives and neither one lends Anya what she deserves

there's significant changes in how she speaks post- and pre- crash, and depending on who she happens to be talking to. i recommend re-reading her dialogue, because the difference is drastic

she acts the way she does around Jimmy because he has tangibly done horrible things to her, is actively hostile, and physically could not escape him by any means. she can't take away Curly's agency herself, in my eyes. you have to remember that Especially in the post-crash segments of the game, it's entirely from Jimmy's POV, and he obviously does not (and has never) thought very highly of her or treated her with a shred of respect

i've seen a general idea that she can't bear to hurt other people for any reason, but that doesn't really track to me. this is the real point of the post by the way

it seems based on the parts where she says she struggles to give Curly medication. "It just hurts him so much, I can't stand the noise." "It makes me nauseous."

it's not really the same thing as, say, hurting someone in self defense

this sounds like she did want the gun itself. this never felt worded like someone who would refuse to, at very least, threaten Jimmy with a gun, with violence. if she had been given the agency to make that decision on her own. she wasn't though

she still tries to reclaim some of it even as she's denied it

by the end she's still trying to keep that gun out of his hands

i think some people overly soften her, for similar reasons the game itself is trying to comment on. she's not a tender victim who couldn't cause pain to another out of the softness of her soul, she's a person who's had every last bit of agency ripped from her repeatedly until she couldn't take it anymore. that's the point. that's why framing her that way, "needing" someone to save her, is odd to me

she didn't need Curly to save her, she needed him to take responsibility

she didn't want to escalate things, but she's not an idiot. self defense was absolutely on her mind

but who knows im just saying shit *smiles serenely*

Andi Osho as Sitis (wife of Job) in Good Omens 2.02

[Image ID: A series of gifs from Good Omens season 2, featuring the character Sitis, an older dark-skinned woman dressed in blue.

The camera zooms into a Bible illustration of Sitis lamenting to the sky.

Sitis's face becomes concerned as Job says: "Sitis my dear, this person was looking for the children." She turns, looking defensive, and asks, "Why? Who're you?"

Sitis looks stressed as she chuckles humorlessly and gestures to their ruined house. It is slightly smoking. She says: "Not now, Bildad the Shuhite. Good of you to look in, but we're a tiny bit busy weathering the wrath of God."

Close up on Sitis as her face becomes confused, then changes to horror and disbelief. "…No. God wouldn't!"

Sitis holds back tears as she asks something of her husband. He is about to burst into tears as he shakes his head no.

Sitis implores the angels as Job falls to his knees beside her. "I don't, I don't want more children." A close up of her desperate face. "If my children are dead, then… I will curse God, and—"

Crowley, as Bildad the Shuhite, clasps his hands and rubs them together in a "let's get started" motion. Sitis looks scared and backs away.

Crowley stands framed between Sitis and Job, who are facing each other. He makes a switching motion between them as he says, "Now good lady, simply turn to your husband, reach into his robes…" Sitis looks dubious but reaches towards Job, who abruptly looks very surprised. Crowley interjects: "N-h-higher. Higher."

Sitis and Job's children stand between them. Jemimah throws her arms around her mother who embraces her joyfully.

Job, looking confused, gestures to his restored children as he says to the angels. "But, it is—" Sitis quickly reaches out to Job and interrupts. Clearly frantic and trying to hide it she says, "A-a miracle. It is a miracle, that our new son should look so much like our old son."

Sitis explains very deliberately to Job as she pats her son who is definitely not Ennon on the arm: "No, Job. Look, it's not Ennon, it's… a new child. These are all… They're all… new… children."

Sitis anxiously watches Job speak, and starts to relax until a baffled and annoyed Ennon says something. She tenses and turns to him.

it's kind of like insanely isolating that literally every aspec or "ace & aro" space I've found has been in actuality, solely for aces. perhaps arospec aces or aroaces who entirely prioritize their asexuality could also find company there, but even as an aromantic person who is also asexual, they're really not intended for me. so I can only imagine how isolating it must be if you're aromantic and allosexual

Final W359 thought for the night: when Minkowski walked in on Eiffel and Hilbert naked in "The Paranoia Game", her first thought was definitely "oh no, they're hate-fucking."

Ppl keep saying they forgot to give William Afton in the movie a motive like... I hate to break it to you but most serial killers don't have motives. They mostly do it for a power trip. That's it. That's the reason why they are scary and fucked up. Because they have no reason to be doing what they are doing. Him not having a motive is actually the most realistic way he could've been portrayed to show how much of a monster he is.

let me tell u the moment jutaeks phantom nodded during the ring return to basically tell her it was time for her to go neither he or jisoo’s christine wanted to let go they were clinging to each other and she shook her head and they both took time to pull away but even so they both were aware that it had to be done he didnt actually try to convince her to stay or anything because doing this was showing his love i just had tears steaming down she wouldnt look away from him when she left in the boat why did that whole entire thing get me so bad im immune to the final lair

"fake accusations ruin lifes" but rubiales right now is giving a press conference saying he's not gonna resign because it was a ~consensual kiss~ when it fucking wasn't and anyone with a single braincell can see it wasn't, the player and victim herself SAID IT WASN'T CONSENSUAL, and ranting about how ~muh fake feminism is so bad for us men :((( im actually the victim here :((((~ while people clap and praise him for not kneeling down against the evil feminists who i guess just don't like to get forcibly kissed by their bosses

🔐🧟‍♀️🔍🪐 my loooove

hello lover <3

🔐 something no one would guess about you

uhhhh. uuuuummmmm. help I literally cannot think of anything. the first thing that comes to mind is I was homeschooled my whole life but I feel like thats actually pretty easy to guess based on my personality

🧟‍♀️ scariest thing that’s happened to you

OKAY. once a few years ago I was going down the hallway in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom right. my house was completely dark, everyone was asleep, glasses off, defenseless and in my underwear, and half way down the hallway I hear heavy stomping footsteps start running up the stairs and rounding the top and coming down the hallway towards me so I ran the rest of the way to the bathroom and turned on the light and looked behind me and there was nothing there. it scared the fucking shit out of me ill never forget it. the footsteps were way too heavy and distinctly human to have been one of my cats. it sounded like a full grown man in work boots. I literally cannot explain it to this day it was so fucking weird and terrifying

ty for ur posts about hamas. u dont have to publish this but ive just been seeing terminally online Twitter Takes constantly for the past few days of people who have done absolutely no personal research going back and forth trying to Win At Activism and accidentally regurgitating hamas propaganda while calling anything that criticizes them israeli propaganda. i think that probably most people who have done enough research to understand that hamas is awful and complicated and oppressing the palestinian people are likely the ones who know when not to speak about things they don’t fully comprehend. so we get the loud annoying ignorant ones instead🙃 seeing someone with sense actually correcting some of that has been helpful for me personally lol

@immaterial-girl Sorry this took me a min to get to, I've been busy. But yes I absolutely agree. It is exhausting to see so many people saying with their whole chest that Hamas militants are freedom fighters and civilian women and children deserve to die....while also not being able to tell you what year Hamas last held an election in if you held a gun to their heads. Lol. Like man. Maybe if you don't know what the hell you are talking about you shouldn't have such strong opinions? But that is a foreign concept here on tumblr.edu :/
