#try to convince me that shit ain't iconic

[wikitpowers]

blackstairs is such an amazing ship idc what anyone says (still mind-blowing that someone can dislike them fr wtf)

i'm a SUCKER for friends-to-lovers (more like parabatai-to-lovers in this case, but u know what i mean...) and i love that trope so badly and it fit them so well ahhhh

and the slow burn and mutual pining just made their relationship even more intense and interesting (not to mention the forbidden romance hello?!?)

every single scene of theirs is immaculate idfc

It's currently 2:53 am and i just watched the first two episodes of season 1 os succession and tbh it at first looked ike i might not understand as half the things were quite flowing above my head

but then i think i quite got the grip on the ongoing situation and tbh if i try to sum it al up it's really infa t just a shitshow and i really don't want to see a show of bunch of lustful greedy fail trying to take over while lsi being coward at the same time and tryna play safe but terribly failing since none of them actually has anyone's back yk they all just a bunch of backstabbers ready to bite you anytime and take all the profit.... It's just how evryone in the screen is there for the money except some two or three characters i guess

All of logans kids remind me of those useless nepo kids of Hollywood tbh cuz i think Logan was right when he decided to still be the CEO since Kendall is really not mature enough and brave to be a CEO or step up and same goes with the other kids

They all are so emotionally sensitive and want a safe place but also has got the greed and lust from their father

They want to top each other but also don't want to hurt the else feeling or be straightforward with their motives to the others

Funny hw every side character slash spouse of them are gold diggers and just their for money like God damn babes

I think shiv is also quite emotional and vulnerable to stupid people but she has got that bossy instincts and roman do lack maturity to a whole other level

Kendall is just a emotional attached boy with skills but the fact he is not strong for the Bulls game like he can't even convince his siblings, he lack that bossy nature, he is too emotional and sensitive and tbh weak for a job that runs the whole fucking company and i do believe Logan was right when he said he might need a more time to get all that strictness, and he wasn't firing him tbh he is the most appropriate our of all four,,, but the fact Logan decided to do the Marcy thing in the game kinda screwed it up since i think evrybody knows she is a gold digger it was obvious and still Logan did such a stupid thing was maybe just becuz idk it's his third wife and i beleive he has more moments with her and also obvi the NSFW thing,, maybe that's why he is actually attached but i also of beleive that maybe he was just fucking it all up to scre them even harder cuz ain't no way a man running a company and so heartless would be this dumb

And conner was the person i felt quite the best in characters but ohh when he showed up with willa,,,, like why do rich PPL are so nasty and yucky bro

And don't get me started on how big of a loser is Greg i mean yeah maybe he's just a filler or sm shit but it's so annoying and he is not being relatable, he is just purely an ass tbh like how did he not grow up at all and till dream high to play this game when he literally discussed abt shoes with her mom

He is the iconic manchild but with more hairs and leaning on soft side of his way of body language and all which don't make it so annoying but rather tumblrworthy

And Tim is just a dick and i hate how he's technically using shiv to be somewhere in that game like what the fuck

logan has all the CEO qualities except maybe he is too harsh and egoistic and don't suck ppl's dick to get his things done which is impressive atleast he ain't a bitch but he also lacks how to be loyal and yk the man of words cuz of what he did to Frank and the debt thing makes it a lil more clear that he really don't have some business mides strategies and hasn't read books like Kendall has,,,, but yeah a man of words won't fire a loyal co worker of 30 years for a shitty son so maybe he too lacked there in order to support his sons but i think he did it in order to keep the business in the hands of his family after he steps down idk

I just don't want to watch a show where evryone is a shitty person in general but idk i might not continue it altho its just been two fucking episodes but in alr tired for this long ass commitment

[we-are-inevitable]

guys oh my GOD i just found my newsies rants from the first BIG night of my hyperfixation and. hng. there's so much good content in here

*messages copy and pasted under the cut!

NOTE: all of these messages are from April 19, 2020- the first day of my newsies hyperfixation!

listen racetrack and crutchie are some of my babes and i fucking love them

BEN TYLER COOK IS THE ONLY VALID RACETRACK AND I DESPERATELY NEED THEM TO REDO THE CAST ALBUM TO GIVE HIM THE SPOTLIGHT HE DESERVES

I CANT LISTEN TO KING OF NEW YORK ANYMORE BECAUSE. IT ISNT RACE. dont get me wrong racetrack from the soundtrack is like. really good but he ain't livesies racetrack good

also everyone ships race and spot which is valid but idk I just feel like race and albert have more in common?? like. spot is a great character and all of the Brooklyn Newsies deserve so much more screentime and so much more content but i just feel like the only reason people like race × spot is because of the Inner-Bourough Relations and the territorial stuff (bc the brooklyn bois are pretty spooky) but race × albert is so much cuter ?? like they're both Manhattan newsies and they share a lot more screentime and they have a lot more in common and like !! their interactions throughout King of New York makes me cry so hard i love them so much

something is telling me that if i dont learn All Of The Newsies by tomorrow i'm gonna scream

so i think later today i'm gonna rewatch livesies, then watch 92sies, then make myself a google slides presentation with a pic of each newsie and their name so i can figure this shit out

JACK AND CRUTCHIE ARE BROTHERS BUT WE STILL STAN THAT JACK/RACETRACK DYNAMIC

if anyone tries to tell me that racetrack ain't Jack's #2 Dude i WILL bite i dont care

like??? we literally see race kinda take charge after the bulls bust up their strike and jack fucks off to be Emo On The Rooftop (which is still valid and i love him for it) but race steps in and lifts everyone's spirits again and god i love him for it

it's real "Loving Racetrack Higgins Hours"

OH OH OKAY SO THE EMO ROOFTOP SCENE

LIKE. FUCK. people kinda got on Jack's case for leaving after the big fight breaks out and the bulls take Crutchie, but what else can he do? jack is 17. he's scared. he's dealing with his own trauma after what happened to him at The Refuge (which is never explicitly stated, but his reaction leads me to believe there was definitely some kind of ab•se (and its canon that the officers at the refuge don't feed the kids as they should)). he's seen as the tough guy, as the leader, as the father figure for all of the newsies, but he's a kid. he put his life on the line for them, but that's too much responsibility for a teenager.

jack got thrown in the refuge- a jail for kids- because he stole food and clothing for the other boys. he did everything he did for everyone else, without ever taking his own feelings into consideration; it was never a case of "what's in it for me?", it was always "will this help the guys i love?" and that is Jack's biggest quality i think.

anyway- so, he disappears after the fight because he's guilty. he watch his best friend- no, his brother- get taken by the bulls and watched the others he loves get hurt, and he couldn't stop it. again, this is a 17 year old we're talking about. his whole Santa Fe scene is the most pivotal part of the show in my opinion? like- we see Jack having a breakdown, essentially. "just be real is all i'm askin', not some paintin' in my head" is such a painful line because he's holding onto the hope that somewhere he's never seen is good enough to risk leaving his life behind for, and we see the struggles between wanting to stay and help his friends and wanting to get out and live and be able to have a life where he doesn't have to live with such a huge responsibility on his shoulders.

ALSO THE WHOLE THING WITH THE GUYS THINKING JACK IS A SELLOUT BECAUSE HE GOT MONEY FOR TRYING TO CONVINCE THE NEWSIES NOT TO CONTINUE THE STRIKE HURTS MY HEART

like Pulitzer basically said "if you don't tell them to stop this, i'll personally make sure all of them end up in the refuge" and even used Davey as a plot device, since Davey is one of the few that has folks and a little brother, and Pulitzer essentially said "you wouldn't want your pal Davey getting separated from his family, would you?"

Jack believed in the Strike, and he believed in the Newsies, but he couldn't handle the risk of more of his family getting beaten and thrown into The Refuge, and it kills me to see that he couldn't tell the others why he suddenly had a "change of heart", and that they all think that jw just gave up on them until they realize later on that Pulitzer manipulated him right where it hurt most

I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT NEWSIES AND NO ONE TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH SO UH,, IM SORRY YOU GUYS GET THE SHORT END OF THE STICK

listen i could write an entire essay over Santa Fe and i love that song and it's just such an iconic "I Want" song and !!! fuck !!!!!! it's so sad but it bops!!!!!

"folks are fightin, bleedin, fallin, thanks to good old Captain Jack! Captain Jack just wants to close his eyes and GO"

and then theres a really long pause and his voice cracks and the next line just ?? hurts me ??

"let me go, far away, somewhere they won't never find me, and tomorrow won't remind me of today"

HE'S SO SAD AND STRESSED AND HURT AND GUILTY AND JUST WANTS TO LEAVE THE SITUATION TO PREVENT ANYMORE BAD THINFS FROM HAPPENING ADN I JUST WISH I COULD HUG HIM

i just realized ive been ranting for 30 minutes i love u all goodnight

[perfectdisastr]

Well that was an episode or a TV show...

I didn't think it was that great but I also didn't think it was bad.

Haven't read everyone's thoughts on the episode, but people seem kind of discouraged?

To me the episode does not negate jonsa/ Pol! Jon/ dark Dany in any way!

There are some scenes/lines that really set it up nicely!

Jon apparently told D Sansa is beautiful? I meeeean... Anything else there is to know about your platonic sisterly sister, Jon?

"I had the choice to give up the crown or save the North. I chose the North." (paraphrasing, but you get the gist). Well except you didn't Jonny, she promised to help before you bent the knee, you could have had both... Or did you maybe not have a lot of faith in good Ole D, hmm? Felt like you needed to give her some more motivation, maybe?

'We need allies' is also a great way to convince your people that bringing that chick and her overgrown pet lizards home, was a good idea...

'We would  be really old' also is a romantic as fuck answer to your girlfriend confessing she wants to run away with you and hide with only you in this majestic place, for forever...

I mean maybe this is kit being a bad actor, but Jon does not look very happy around the lohl.

This weird dragon Montage, I wasn't a fan of because it was way to long, but if we give the D's of this episode the benefit of the doubt in whether they thought with an actual working brain, while deciding to include this sequence, it does need to serve some purpose except for badly done jonerys fluff:

->Rhaegal  trying to throw Jon off and staring while Mommy and Step-Daddy/Cousin kissed looked to me like he didn't trust him very much... (Maybe it was Drogon staring, we've never been taught how to tell them apart). Dragons are supposed to be smart and 'smell' intentions, so sure he (being Rhaegal) let Jon ride him because he is a Targaryen, but he seems to think/sense something is up. He does seem to try to intimidate Jon. Also Jon looking terrified might just be him internally going: 'oh damn, he knows I think his mummy is cray...' Anyway what is the fucking reason for this shot if this isn't the case? What D, D, D and D?? Your J0nerys fluff and Jon is a Targaryen foreshadowing, would have been much smoother if you just didn't include that bit! Why is he staring Jon down??

The Dragons ain't eating: looks like two very good boys might not be that big of a help against the biGGeST threat after all, huh?

Jon asking Sansa if she had faith in him and telling Arya, that Sansa thinks she is the smartest person ever, very much sounds like: 'my darling, I'm going to need you to trust me, you don't know everything, there is more to the story, and I  really need you to play along!'

Sam asking Jon if Dany would give up her crown for her people, aka is she a Queen for the people or for status? And Jonny doesn't answer, but he is sad, so I'll give him a pass

Davos mentioning the marriage alliance exactly 5 episodes after it would have made sense. Just before  everyone finds out that Jon isn't the best candidate, the North would want as representation anymore. (guess who is though?!)

Yes there is some shit in this episode and Jon is acting like a self-righteous little asshole, Dany threatening Sansa, seems kind of out of line to me... Jon didnt really defend her, which I wish he had, because Team Stark, but it didn't seem as alarming watching it, looked like he was in the middle of coddling her... but let's not give up hope!

Other thoughts about 8.01:

Sam is the only valid person in GoT, I love him, I wanna hug him!

Varys with the fur, what an icon

Tyrion believing in Cersei seems very fishy too me... What's up with him anyway?

Gendrya is LIFE!

Cersei is great as always

Arya and Sansa, yes bitches the pack survives!

I don't understand why Yara still is 'on' Team Daenerys? Bitch, she fucking left you to die! Run!

I don't care for these Dragons at all.

Winterfell in birds eye is so obviously cgi. Very off-putting...

Riding a dragon with a cloak seems dumb to me

Glad my boy tormund is okay!

Jaime and Bran!!

Lastly:

Where the fuck is ghost??

[motorcyclegirlfriends]

i ain't gonna reblog cause i don't like longs posts but you assumed i was talking about kara in relation to mon-el. i specifically said clois cause i was talking about them as a ship, not individuals. i didn't think i needed a ten page double spaced essay to make the point that it's disrespectful to kara as kara and clois as an iconic ship to act like mayo boy is anything compared to either. tags are endnotes. you're actual post was aggressive and you came off as an absolute asshat assuming shit

and i say clois as a ship because clark has made it clear there is nothing he wouldn't do for lois. he has limits with his family, justice league etc that comes from canon. kara as kara has made it clear there is nothing she wouldn't do period. she doesn't have a 'lois' in canon at all. that's the whole point. it's disrespectful to think mayo boy is shit compared to either kara or clois

And here’s the original post we’ve been discussing for reference,

“It’s canon in the comics, films and television series that Clark Kent would let the Earth burn to the ground if it meant sacrificing Lois Lane. When faced with the choice of Mon-El or the Earth, Kara Danvers chose the Earth. Don’t try and disrespect Kara or Clois by saying Mon-El matters as much.”

When you say "you assumed i was talking about kara in relation to mon-el”, do you mean their relationship? Because yes I assumed that you were talking about their relationship. If you thought I assumed you were comparing Kara and Mon-El, then no, I didn’t.

I assumed you were comparing Kara to Clark. 

Which I’m still not convinced you weren’t doing: Equating Kara to Clark to disprove that Mon-El is ‘her Lois’.

And you effectively compared the individuals when you compared the ships (which, if you weren’t comparing the ships to each other you’re gonna have to clarify better), whether you wanted them to just somehow be one fuzed being or not.

Listen, pal, I’ve said repeatedly that I get that your goal was to say “it's disrespectful to kara as kara and clois as an iconic ship to act like mayo boy is anything compared to either” and that I’m not disagreeing with that part of it.

But I’m still pretty sure you used the concept that Clark would have burned the Earth to the ground to save Lois to prove that Mon-El doesn’t matter as much because Kara didn’t burn the Earth to the ground for him.

All I was saying was that she never would. For anyone.

Even if she loved Mon-El as much as Clark loves Lois. Even if she some how loved him more. She’d never choose anything over the safety of the Earth. Because that’s who she is as a character.

And thus your original statement proves nothing, which is why it’s an integral belief that you must have had for the argument to make sense in the first place.

And in your most recent sentences, you say (I think this is what you mean?) that Clark and Kara are capable of anything, except Clark has limits with his family, the justice league, and especially Lois, who he’d do anything for.

While Kara is capable of anything, period.

I agree. In fact, that part of it is the whole point to my original post.

But then you say that that’s the whole (original) point, that she doesn’t have a Lois and that “it's disrespectful to think mayo boy is shit compared to either kara or clois” and I lose you.

This to me, is you again saying that Mon-El can’t be compared to them because he’s not ‘Kara’s Lois’.

(But, again ‘Kara’s Lois’ wouldn’t look like Clark’s Lois. It’s not possible for her to love someone enough to sacrifice the Earth. She could love someone to the limits of what’s possible for anyone to love, and still choose the Earth because of who she is.)

Is this just saying “Oh, Kara and Clois are great in these two ways, and Mon-El doesn’t compare” ?

Because if it was- which is the only way I can conceive of that you wouldn’t believe the statement I originally was discussing- I guarantee all the people who originally reblogged that did not think you meant that.

(Especially since if you were trying to say that Kara is great for being able to sacrifice Mon-El for the world, and that Clark is great for being able to sacrifice the world for Lois, they’d kinda cancel each other out? So that reading still doesn’t make sense to me.)

So if there’s something else going on here, maybe you should write a ten page double spaced essay to get me to understand because you are not being clear.

I recommend using the “A + B + C = D” method I used before to explain what you were trying to say originally, if it’s not this.

And sure, tags are endnotes, but endnotes are by design used for clarification and understanding. 

But if we’re comparing ‘aggression’, my original post was passionate, sure, but the worst I said was?? What? “Don’t disrespect Kara”?

Meanwhile your “you came off as an absolute asshat assuming shit” is way more inflated a reaction. 

And if you truly didn’t mean the point I originally attacked, and thus my arguments should mean nothing to you, why are you so angry?

It's one of many intepretation of the Codex you collected in DOOM 4 (yes, the 2016 one) where Argent D'Nur got destroyed because one of the Night Sentinels whose only son was, "lost on the battlefield."

Then a demon offered to bring him back. The Deceiver was either obviously in a good disguise or was quite convincing, because The Betrayer did exactly that. It's been a while, and I'm too tired to look up all the entries on the wiki.

Thing is, after his betrayal the Hell Priest Deag Grav DID bring back his son... as the Icon of Sin.

Yes, the very same.

The Betrayer was so enraged he vowed vengeance. This is a quote from a codex entry I got from the wiki;

"For his payment, the Betrayer's son was returned to him in our form, and the Icon of Sin was brought upon the heathens. His vengeance was swift and merciless, for the wages of treachery are suffering."

Now... this line indicates that the Betrayer is Doomguy. Thus, the part where you think he's not a virgin. And what many fans thought; probably most of the new bloods.

Me, personally? The part where it said 'his'... doesn't refer to the Betrayer. It's the Icon of Sin.

Which makes the idea of Doomguy being the traitor not only wrong, but foolish to even think about.

Here's another quote from a Codez entry, the entirety of Slayer's Testament III:

"And in his conquest against the blackened souls of the doomed, his prowess was shown. In his crusade, the seraphim bestowed upon him terrible power and speed, and with his might he crushed the obsidian pillars of the Blood Temples. He set forth without pity upon the beasts of the nine circles. Unbreakable, incorruptible, unyielding, the Doom Slayer sought to end the dominion of the dark realm."

Now... if Doomguy WAS the Betrayer, why would the demons call him unbreakable, incorruptible, and unyielding?

In this context, being a traitor means you were "corrupted" by something or someone that influences you to switch loyalties.

Doom Slayer... Doomguy is not the Betrayer. Intepretation? Nah, son; MISintepretation. You saw no proof because there aren't any.

I bet the majority of the Doom fandom, especially the ones who are still around since the 90s, firmly believes that Doom Slayer IS the same Doomguy from the older games. Including Doom 64.

So do I, except I also include Doom 3 because I want to believe that the game is a prequel to the original games.

Facial reconstruction and identity change. All forced by the UAC. Nothing complex, just me trying to figure out where the contempt for the company stemmed from.

Doomguy in the original Doom got sent to Mars because he beat the shit out of his Commanding Officer for ordering him to gun down unarmed civilians. He didn't ask why nor talk him down, Doomguy beat the shit out of him.

Action speaks louder than words, and Doomguy is VERY loud; he's a good guy.

Anyway, I hope I was helpful to you. Still, the beauty that DOOM gave us is that basically, EVERYTHING Doom related is canon. I forgot where I got the information from, but all the WADs? Canon.

Even the naughty ones.

Fanfictions? Also canon.

Maybe I'm wrong about that, but you know what? It's a fun idea. FUN. The very thing Id has been promoting for Doom 2016 and Eternal.

Maybe Doom Eternal's lore and codex entries can shed more light to Doom Slayer's past. Maybe they'll show it in the story. Maybe they won't to keep things vague.

We don't even know what Deag Grav looks like, just that he's the ONLY demon in Doom lore to have an actual name. Maybe we'll fight him and finally get to see what he looks like.

Me, I chose the Harvester demon from the 2016 multiplayer as his form. I wish both Harvesters and Prowler demons appeared in story mode... maybe in Eternal.

It's still a game, so don't worry too much about all the details. But if you choose so... go ahead.

If anybody wanna argue about this don't bother. I ain't stopping you guys for thinking whatever headcanons you wanna have, but I will never agree that Doomguy is the traitor.

Hell, look at the Marauder shown at Quakecon 2018. Maybe HE'S the Betrayer. Go speculate or whatever, Imma wait and survive to 2019 so I can play the game and see for myself what his deal is.

Wait. Is Doomguy actually a virgin or no? cuz I see people saying he has a son but like..?? I see no proof of that?
