jack harkness' arc is so fucking insane honestly... the guy is literally comic relief most of the time just out there throwing dirty jokes and winking at everything that moves, meanwhile his canon storyline is that his blond lady friend who was heartbroken at seeing him die absorbed The Time Vortex - that no human should ever absorb - which gave her supernatural powers that made her able to bring him back before she had to be saved BUT... she could not control those powers properly so she brought him back permanently and so he can no longer die but he keeps aging ! and he's aware of that contradiction and he asks the only other seemingly immortal being he knows about it in a way that makes it obvious that he's really fucking worried about it but that being looks him in the eyes and admits he fears what he has become and tells him he honestly has no idea what's gonna happen to him so he just has to like.. fake smile and keep on going. and then what that alien doesn't tell him is that he knows he's gonna live for another 5 BILLION YEARS and age into something entirely unrecognizable to anyone in the universe before he is finally allowed to die. like wow. that sure is the fucking comic relief right there !
#THAT SURE ISN'T PEAK EXISTENTIAL HORROR#I think the beauty of the original RTD era is that it managed to tell THEE worst most heartbreaking stories while somehow maintaining#an aura of fun and sillyness... truly an impressive accomplishment#doctor who#jack harkness#bee tries to talk#rose tyler#tenth doctor

“an exceedingly pleasant and amiable young gentleman but… mentally he is negligible - quite negligible” is the Jeeves and Wooster equivalent of “she is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me”
#just thinking#especially because after that#lizzie despises darcy and refuses to humour him#constantly trying to prove that she doesn’t like him and that she’s more than tolerable thank you#meanwhile darcy’s falling in love#that’s exactly what happens to bertie and jeeves#bertie embarks on a quest to prove jeeves wrong#while jeeves becomes more and more fond#until it culminates in TYJ and RHJ#is the bicycle scene in RHJ a parallel to the rainy proposal in P&P?#who’s to say#is that what wodehouse intended me to think? positively not#anyway i did write like the opening two chapters of a p&p version of jeeves and wooster#where jeeves was darcy and bertie elizabeth#obviously madeline was jane and gussie bingley#they fit the roles quite well because jeeves was over here like “i have never met anyone i can call truly accomplished”#and having insane tension with bertie#and at the same time gussie was just like “miss bassett can i show you another newt”#i mean jeeves has a habit of ending engagements if he disapproves#very fitzwilliam darcy of him#jeeves and wooster#bertie wooster#reginald jeeves#pg wodehouse#jooster#sorry long tags#i got too into the pride and prejudice

Yeah having infinite alternative universes where the same two people love each other no matter the world no matter the time is nice but have you considered dedicating your entire existence to find the only universe where your loved one is happy, even if they're going to hate you in that universe, even if you yourself have to die in that universe, because their happiness always came before everything else? Because you never mattered as long as they were happy? Have you considered it??????
#I'm having feelings over Beast odazai like what the hell. seriously what the hell.#Like Dazai‚ literally‚ unarguably the most selfish character in the entire thing‚ gives up //everything// for one person?? Uh??????#Dazai who never found meaning in living dedicated his whole existence to make the world beautiful to one person?#Found his meaning in making that person happy‚ and found it agreeable to die once that was accomplished??#“But I do have one regret: I’ll never be able to read that novel you complete one day” GIRL???????????#Bro I love everyone and I can't for the life of me get truly invested in a Dazai ship for self-explanatory reasons-#but man that might really be the most romantic ship of them all.#what the hell. what the hell. hello#osamu dazai#odazai#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd beast#mine#q.#21/01/23

i turned off notifs for that post i made asking for the tea but ty to everyone filling me in on delicious yt drama lmao. anyway here's a list of my fav video essayists/creators on youtube that james somerton wishes he could compare himself to:
kaz rowe
mina le
captainmidnight
karolina zebrowska
khadija mbowe
bernadette banner
thomas flight
the queer kiwi
moderngurlz
amandamaryanna
tasting history with max miller
broey deschanel
alexander avila
their topics range from pure academia/fashion/art/food/film/popular culture so there's a good mix! some of them have a more sarcastic, playful approach as well, bc i like a good balance lol. all of these creators are passionate about what they talk about and actually do real research! they cite their sources properly and typically dont approach topics with a singular perspective. if they're not conducting their own research first hand, i know a few of them have proper research assistants! wild!
#a LOT of this list is made up of the fashion + film history girlies but they truly are my fav of the sub categories on yt now lol#and this isnt a full list of the youtubers i watch! but specifically youtubers that successfully accomplish what james always fails to do#james somerton#hbomberguy#todd in the shadows#youtubers

Just to be clear I firmly stand by the Grisha as a persecuted group that got so much shit for centuries and they deserve every good and kind thing in the world.
Just because they are "privileged" as Bardugo calls them (which means to have special rights and immunity because of your rank) didn't stop the King from sexually assaulting Genya, drüskelle from killing them or being kidnapped and subjected to experiments. They had food on their table and a roof above their head which is what every human being should have but they were never treated as human beings or equals which is what they desired the most.
It's one thing to be "privileged" and another to being fed and the next minute you get either spit on by Ravkans or killed by witchhunters. That's not privilege. That's some superficial alliance that can get them killed any day.
#anti leigh bardugo#“privileged” my ass#we saw the way the Crown ordered for the fake trials and executions to be done after Aleksander failed to accomplish his coup#it's all just a front for the Crown to get what they want from them#if they truly cared then they would pass laws that would protect them#grishaverse#shadow and bone#the grisha

To expand on a prior post I've made, it is really fun and it makes a lot of sense and it feels ultimately natural that Spahr is here at the end, in this last confrontation with Weepe, because he and Weepe are rivals. They're, almost unexpectedly, foils.
They're arrogant men who allow and enable awful things to happen to others to protect and increase their social standing. They hurt the people they care about most for self-serving reasons—but in the end, only one of them takes responsibility for that. (Trustfall and Ghosts are inverse parallels, and this post discusses a portion that is most relevant here.) Weepe increasingly identifies with the Trust as Spahr is increasingly disillusioned with it, and Weepe rises to power at the same rate that Spahr falls into disgrace. Just as Weepe is convinced that he will always be an awful person and fatalistically believes he cannot ever do better, Spahr has been convinced he has a self-evident righteousness but eventually sees that not only does he not, but he can and must do better.
Beyond that, they're narratively tied together. Weepe is in the Highest Light because Spahr agrees to bring him. Spahr helps Imelda lock Weepe in the Arca, and he does it in part for smug satisfaction because of his personal dislike for Weepe. He wronged Weepe by participating in engineering the circumstances that led to his torture and by failing to intervene against it out of fear for himself, and the fact that he wronged Weepe is something that Spahr is explicitly aware of and is something that weighs heavily on his conscience. It is through the Arca that Spahr traces Weepe's ascension to Tripotentiary as a direct result of his actions; he believes that he failed to stop, or even facilitated, Weepe's rise and everything that results from it.
For much of the narrative, they're racing to the same goal, even sometimes without knowing. Spahr is on Midst specifically to find the Breach centerpoint, and Weepe identifies it as the cabaret and turns it over to the Trust before Spahr has any chance to start looking. Weepe pulls the Fuze-Loxlee investigation out from underneath Spahr when he convinces Sherman to name Fuze's murderer, ultimately succeeding where Spahr fails. He takes the information to the Upper Trust himself after Spahr was removed from the investigation for, simplistically, lack of progress. Sherman chooses to trust Weepe over Spahr, and Weepe wipes his debt before Spahr can.
When Spahr is court-martialed, he is given the opportunity (read: pressured) into donating all Valor accrued during his tenure to his successor — and then that donation apparently goes to Weepe as part of a series of donations to help set him up as Most Valorous. The role of the Prime Consector gets folded under the new position of Tripotentiary, and without a Prime Consector appointed, Weepe is the sole direction that the Company has. Weepe even moves into the residence held by the Prime Consector, as we're often reminded that Spahr lived there before Weepe did. Weepe is Spahr's successor in all but literal title.
Spahr waits until Weepe repeats the order to bring Lark and Phineas to refuse. At the moment where Weepe is at his most elevated and Spahr at his most diminished, when they are such extreme ends in the hierarchy, it is to Weepe that Spahr says, finally, "No."
As Prime Consector, Spahr was ideologically (though not materially) the truest manifestation of Valor. A Consector's job is to hunt, to pursue those who have escaped the Trust and restore them to the Trust. At this point, Weepe is all that is left of the Trust, its only manifestation, and all he does now is hunt Lark and those who aid her, to rebalance and to restore what is felt lost.
As funny as it is that Spahr is here at the end as the only one who isn't a protagonist, it makes so much sense that he is here in the confrontation against Weepe. He has to be. They're foils to one another, one of their many. Their actions have deeply entangled themselves in one another's arc. Over the course of the story, very slowly, there's been a changing of places between Weepe and Spahr.
Of course Spahr is here too. He was a razor's edge from being the one bearing down on that cabin. He was very, terrifyingly close to being on Weepe's side of the door.
#even with TWO WEEKS I finish meta LAST minute bc my brain can't focus unless we're sliding under the deadline like Indy in Temple of Doom#truly one day I'll finish writing meta in a timely manner but I've literally never accomplished that in YEARS so#anyway wild that Weepe and Spahr are narratively positioned like this. as always can u believe Spahr was not supposed to be THIS important#Jonas Spahr#Moc Weepe#Midst#Midst podcast#Midst things#Midst Cosmos

I do not think evangelizing on the double standard of women being expected to wear makeup everyday to grown women is actually productive or respectful (provided they are not judging me for not wearing makeup), we can all make our own decisions on how to walk through this world, however, it is true that whenever a woman in my daily life equates making themselves decent and presentable with having a coat of natural makeup on, I do have to viscerally repress the urge to shake them by the shoulders and scream that they've been had.
#to be clear this is not me being against makeup or even against wearing it everyday!#i know it's an important part of self-expression for lots of people and also an accomplishment to have excellent makeup#this is specifically about my roommate who will constantly say things like#'and I completely forgot that I had to pick up a shift at the bar and I had to SCRAMBLE to get my makeup done'#or my mom who doesn't feel like going to work is even an option without a light coat of mascara#it just makes me internally go feral#i can get behind loving makeup as an addition#though I never will bother#but there's so much evidence around me of women who see makeup as a necessity and it just makes my skin itch like#like the world does not deserve that from us. truly.#if men don't have to we don't have to and it genuinely just eats me up inside when I hear makeup equated to personal hygiene.#like no it's Not Fair that you don't feel right leaving the house without makeup!#I'm sorry that you feel that way#i wouldn't say that to someone's face in real life bc that's condescending#but I do think that in a just world no woman would feel lazy for leaving without makeup

Does a podcast ever release a take you disagree with so strongly it makes you question everything you heard on it up to that point
#this is so niche and only interesting to other people who spend 10 hours a day listening to podcasts so i'm putting it in the tags#but s1ep3 of invisibilia about the blind guy who learned to echolocate so well he could ride a bike was fucking wild#the take was like. okay okay backing up a bit we all agree disability is socially constructed in some ways right?#ie people treat blind people in certain ways that reinforce an inability to function in society get jobs etc#they have certain expectations of people who are blind that can be limiting. right. so we all agree on that#but that was not the end of the take! the take was that because disability is socially constructed the solution is#to expect the same level of independence from blind people as you do from seeing people#and that also was not the end of the take because the way this man tried to accomplish that was forcing blind children to climb trees#this guy had achieved a high level of independence but in the process of learning to echolocate had knocked out multiple teeth#he was like 'the biggest barrier to blind people's ability to function in society is their parents' love for them'#because parents prevent blind children from exploring getting close to roads etc#and anyway i think that although parents may infantilize blind children more than necessary there is a strong financial incentive to#make sure they do not get hit by a car or break a bone#the solution of just getting blind people to act exactly like seeing people also seems odd#what's wrong with requiring help from others? why have we decided independence is the only way to function in society?#should all disabled people just be willing to injure themselves in order to get as close as possible to independence#in order to hold down a job which we have decided is the only way to earn the right to live#is there only one correct way to live a life?#it truly baffled me. i was sorting that mail going 👀👀🤔#anyway. this has been your podcast take of the day

Max's post-race radio with the team was so emotional I fear he might actually retire after this season.
#sounded like a man that had accomplished all he wanted#and was enjoying it because he knows it's going to end#i love him and i want the best for him#but i will be devastated if he does leave#truly#please just finish out the contract#please let the emotion just be from the chaotic and long season#formula 1#f1#formula one#max verstappen#las vegas gp 2024
