i'm one hundred percent certain that after percy and annabeth made out underwater. and he wanted to make their relationship official. the question was not "will you be my girlfriend?" but "can i be your boyfriend?" i don't care what the canon says. percy gave annabeth the space to take the lead in the relationship. because after a lifetime of being abandoned by everyone she dared to care for. and then watching her on the brink of a panic attack at the thought of losing him the last four years. he wanted to honor a new beginning between them by follow her lead and moving at her pace.

this part is so, so important to me, because as fatalistic as it sounds, it's refreshing to hear it, and from the mouth of a character as complex and nuanced in their portrayal as both victim and perpetrator of violence as VAL no less. because the fact is, no matter how much you put in the effort, and work on yourself, and change for the better, none of that will make any difference if the world doesn't change with you. if the wheel keeps on turning. if the cycle keeps on being repeated. you'll only remain a cog in the machine, or fall out and be discarded among all the other useless, broken disappointments before you. what does it matter, if you grow around the hurt, tear down the walls you've built in a futile bid to keep yourself safe, only to find more fences bristling with spikes awaiting you on the other side? what use is it trying to better yourself when there's nowhere to go? in voicing this, VAL highlights the abject cruelty of telling people that they're what needs fixing, that it's their responsibility to change, and that the world will surely follow if they're only willing to take the first steps, when there was never any intention to dismantle the corruption and violence upholding the systems that led them to that point in the first place.

In the whole “what would the Starks do if Jon’s parentage ever came to light” debate, the most interesting figure to me is Robb Stark. Ned is already caught between a rock and a hard place: duty and love to both his king and his sister’s son, though he already committed treason once to save Lyanna’s boy. Catelyn the embodiment of the Tully words, “family, duty, honor”, is fiercely loyal to her husband and children - but not to Jon. So if she was ever put in a position to choose, it’s obvious what she would do. Then there’s Robb. He’s his father’s heir, his mother’s pride. He’s named after Robert Baratheon, the ruling king of the seven kingdoms, as a testament to his father’s upbringing and love for his friend. But Jon is his brother; his best friend; his greatest companion. Where Ned’s choice would leave him conflicted, Robb doesn’t share the same loyalty to the king. So when forced to fight for the crown or his brother’s life, he’d obviously choose his brother. Which would be an interesting twist of fate. Ned and Robert rebelled for their lives many years prior. How interesting it would be for the boy who bears Robert’s name and the boy who bears Ned’s face to rise in rebellion again.
#robert and ned were raised as equals#but jon and robb were not - jon received a lordling’s education and was raised in a castle#but he’s a bastard! he was never robb’s equal in truth and the best he could hope to be is a bannerman to his brother#and robb knew that!#so id like to see how weird the situation would be if robb’s bastard brother turned out to be his king 👀#everyone always talks about what if jon went south to become robb’s advisor#but yall what if it was the other way around- robb winning wars to defend his brother’s claim on the throne#ah love a good what if 😭#asoiaf#jon snow#robb stark#jon and robb the greatest duo to ever duo like!!! they’d put ned and robert to shame and that’s the T#for starters Jon would actually be a competent king andjsnajzbssj#always funny seeing people place robb in other people’s claims for the throne like my friends?!#that boy will fight the whole world for his bro don’t even joke about that

Speaking of the social context of P&P and Austen in general, and also just literature of that era, I'm always interested in how things like precisely formulated hierarchies of precedence and tables of ranked social classes interact with the more complex and nuanced details of class-based status and consequence on a pragmatic day-to-day level. I remembered reading a social historian discussing the pragmatics of class wrt eighteenth-century English life many years ago and finally tracked down the source:
"In spite of the number of people who got their living from manufacture or trade, fundamentally it was a society in which the ownership of land alone conveyed social prestige and full political rights. ... The apex of this society was the nobility. In the eyes of the Law only members of the House of Lords, the peerage in the strictest use of the word, were a class apart, enjoying special privileges and composing one of the estates of the realm. Their families were commoners: even the eldest sons of peers could sit in the House of Commons. It was therefore in the social rather than in the legal sense of the word that English society was a class society. Before the law all English people except the peers were in theory equal. Legal concept and social practice were, however, very different. When men spoke of the nobility, they meant the sons and daughters, the brothers and sisters, the uncles and aunts and cousins of the peers. They were an extremely influential and wealthy group.
"The peers and their near relations almost monopolized high political office. From these great families came the wealthiest Church dignitaries, the higher ranks in the army and navy. Many of them found a career in law; some even did not disdain the money to be made in trade. What gave this class its particular importance in the political life of the day was the way in which it was organized on a basis of family and connection ... in eighteenth-century politics men rarely acted as isolated individuals. A man came into Parliament supported by his friends and relations who expected, in return for this support, that he would further their interests to the extent of his parliamentary influence.
"Next in both political and social importance came the gentry. Again it is not easy to define exactly who were covered by this term. The Law knew nothing of gentle birth but Society recognized it. Like the nobility this group too was as a class closely connected with land. Indeed, the border line between the two classes is at times almost impossible to define ... Often these men are described as the squirearchy, this term being used to cover the major landowning families in every county who were not connected by birth with the aristocracy. Between them and the local nobility there was often considerable jealousy. The country gentleman considered himself well qualified to manage the affairs of his county without aristocratic interference.
"...The next great layer in society is perhaps best described the contemporary term 'the Middling Sort'. As with all eighteenth-century groups it is difficult to draw a clear line of demarcation between them and their social superiors and inferiors. No economic line is possible, for a man with no pretensions to gentility might well be more prosperous than many a small squire. There was even on the fringe between the two classes some overlapping of activities ... The ambitious upstart who bought an estate and spent his income as a gentleman, might be either cold-shouldered by his better-born neighbours or treated by them with a certain contemptuous politeness. If however his daughters were presentable and well dowered, and if his sons received the education considered suitable for gentlemen, the next generation would see the obliteration of whatever distinction still remained. The solid mass of the middling sort had however no such aspirations, or considered them beyond their reach.
"...This term [the poor] was widely used to designate the great mass of the manual workers. Within their ranks differences of income and of outlook were as varied as those that characterized the middle class. Once again the line of demarcation is hard to draw..."
—Dorothy Marshall, Eighteenth Century England (29-34)
(There's plenty more interesting information in the full chapter, especially regarding "the poor," and the chapter itself is contracted from a lengthier version published earlier.)
#anghraine babbles#long post#dorothy marshall#eighteenth century england#austen blogging#eighteenth century blogging#also thinking about this in terms of elizabeth spending so much of pride and prejudice /acutely/ conscious of a social divide#between her family (as in the bennets and mr collins) and darcy's status - so her claim to equality with him w/ lady catherine is- well#not a dry sociological statement but an important character moment for elizabeth (and lady catherine!)#realistically darcy's lifestyle politics and interests ARE far more allied with ppl like the fitzwilliams than ppl like the bennets#and elizabeth is not at all ignorant of that - it's why she initially thinks he's too much of a great man to be interested in her#even before she knows of his close connections to literal nobility#and that is probably the more ... normative? understanding of their respective positions.#so her later claim to equality with him - in a way that forces ly c to acknowledge elizabeth's own status - is not a simple neutral truth#but weighted in a way that's important thematically and for elizabeth's development - something that the pure sociological take misses imo#anghraine's meta#austen fanwank#sorta

everyone shower matita pere with all the love she deserves. truly an icon the legend the greatest to ever live she foretold the future and one might even say pioneered the amazon prime elf show
Galadriel seems as such a complex character, and Celeborn is too undimensional and simple for my taste. That is why I decided to give her a more worthy partner, someone to match both her power and intelligence, someone as old as her, as wise as her. And, best of all, what any girls dreams of: a tall, dark stranger.
this is still one of the greatest notes ever to exist btw
#speak your truth matita braver than so many today#you can literally hear the sheer disgust when she was forced to utter teleporno lmfao#side note remember when you had to bold the no claim whatsoever because anne rice could be lurking to sue you#haladriel#saurondriel#halbrand x galadriel#sauron x galadriel#galadriel#sauron#trop#also saurondriel existed only 2 yrs ago WRONG matita would tell you otherwise

I feel like people forget that Vader isn’t a reliable narrator. He’s the same man that’s desperate to convince himself and everyone around him that he’s not Anakin Skywalker anymore and that his real name holds no meaning because the owner to that name is ‘dead.’ But we know that’s a facade he puts up and an escapism to ignore the pain he’s in plus the knowledge of knowing that everything he’s done and is doing is wrong. So I just think it’s weird so to imply that Vader actually meant what he said when he claims that Padmé would’ve joined him and supported the Empire if she was alive. It should be obvious that Vader doesn’t actually believe this. He’s just desperate to convince himself that it’s true because he can’t handle the idea of her not choosing to be by his side if she had the chance, and also to help him make peace with himself to justify his actions as “correct.”
Anakin deep inside the mask of Vader knows this not to be true, and that’s one of the many reasons why the ghost and memory of Padmé haunts him. (Ofc apart from the grief and remorse he feels over what he did to her.) He knows his wife. He was the one to know her the most intimately and closely. And that’s why he also knows that she wouldn’t support his actions, despite what he tells himself, he knows she’s right. He always believed in her and trusted her above anyone else. He knew where her stance would lie, even if he tries his hardest to reassure himself that the Empire is “good.” He himself doesn’t even believe it.
Anakin himself hates who he became, and there’s a lovely scene from one of the Darth Vader comics (I think the 2017 one??) where he confronts himself as Anakin in a vision, and how he sees that his “old and true self” is resentful and disappointed in the version he became. The scene ends with Vader killing “Anakin”, symbolizing that he ended the man he “use to be.” (Or so he thinks.) all in all, Vader can go on about how he’s not ‘Anakin Skywalker’ anymore, or about how his wife would actually support him in his endeavours, but the fact of the matter is that he knows that’s all false. The soul and echo of Anakin Skywalker rings loud inside Vader, and nothing was able to diminish it.
#star wars#anidala#anakin skywalker#darth vader#anakin study#vader study#padmé amidala#meta#i saw a post claim that because vader said padmé would join him that proves he never truly knew her#but that’s just false#once again#because vader doesn’t even believe that himself#he knows the truth because deep inside he’s still anakin

As someone raised by atheists and only exposed to Christianity through stuff like Veggietales, to this day I still can’t intellectually wrap my mind about a genuine belief in religion, as in actually believing any of that shit actually happened. Like. Literally all of the major events described in almost every religion is stuff that factually cannot have happened if you understand almost any science or even just the fact that nothing like that ever has any evidence it can happen now. And people just. Politely ignore that fact? Like I understand that to a lot of people religion is about community and rituals and not so much the actual texts, but like. The fact that magic isn’t real is entirely undeniable. Most everything in the holy texts of most major religions is stuff that we know from how science works doesn’t exist and can’t have happened. And that for some reason doesn’t bother people? They just. Believe in it anyway? I can’t understand that perspective. To me, something being true is actually important, and the fact that religions say that things that aren’t real exist says that they aren’t reliable sources for basing my understanding of the world on. Again, I understand that most people don’t think about that, that religion is primarily about social cohesion and tradition and rituals and not about whether it’s literally true or not. But that perspective is just incredibly alien to me. It’s just weird, that most people can apparently just. Politely ignore that science has completely invalidated nearly everything religion says is true, and still for some reason believe in it anyway.
#atheism#religion#this applies to literally any and all mythology that claims the supernatural exists#all of them#musings#discourse#adjacent at least#skepticism#ultimately it’s like#I can’t help but think “so we all know this shit is fake right?”#And overwhelmingly the response is no!#They don’t#and I think that’s weird!#and to be clear while I do think the supernatural and thus any religion that claims to have supernatural elements is fake#That does not therefore follow “and thus they should be oppressed for it”#lots of people believe lots of incorrect things and while I do believe that the truth is a valuable thing in and of itself#there’s never going to be a world where 100% of people believe only correct things and there is no way to produce a world like that#my posts

the way alicent was like “the king did not wish for the murder of his daughter he loved her i will not have you deny this” and threatened jasper with sending him to the wall for his suggestions while in the black council daemon was like “that whore of a queen murdered my brother and stole his throne and youc ould have killed her for it” and “we can put every green head on a spike” and in ep. 8 before coming to kl rhaenyra was like “those vipers rule in my father’s stead”
not even otto spoke of rhaenyra the way daemon spoke of alicent....
#alicent hightower#anyway the objective truth is that rhaenyra never cared as much for alicent as people claim to#she straight up did not#we have got to accept that and move on#this was always about the care alicent had for rhaenyra#even thought it should have realistically ended in episode 7#the narrative wont let her let rhaenyra go bc rhaenyra is so special nothing that she can take away from alicent isnt worth it

The opposite of conspiracy theories isn't "rational thinking" its just "coincidence theories"
#sometimes things are coincidences! but making that argument isnt intrinsically any more rationalistic than a conspiracy#point being 'its not a conspiracy' isnt just absence of a truth claim it is a truth claim itself with comparable standard of evidence

Otto is the only member of Emilia camp who knows how to pay their taxes.
#otto suwen#re:zero#rezero#Emilia knows about how to collect taxes as part of her royal candidate training#But she doesn’t know how to pay them#Roswaal used to pay his taxes but he hasn’t for the past 100 years because he’s the court mage and can get away with stuff like that#Beatrice claims to have read a book on taxes once but the truth is she fell asleep reading it and doesn’t remember anything about it#But she’ll never admit that
