Tjis is like the one reason it's good that fantasy catholicism is actually fantasy protestantism in dragon age. For me personally at least.

[dykesynthezoid]

is that male character you love really groundbreakingly emotionally complex or is he actually just a carbon copy of every other byronic hero. quickly

[bitchapalooza]

I relate to Sanji too much because it really does seem like he’s adopted the mentality that physical and mental abuse is a form of significant affection but only directed towards himself, like he sees it’s wrong and unjust when other people are being abused, but when he’s the victim he feels this conflicted sense of I deserve it and Wow they love me so much! It’s heartbreaking just to think about tbh

it ever hit you out of nowhere that castiel is living in a dead guy's body and the show just does not care. it does not care. jimmy novak might as well not exist the moment he or claire is out of sight. cas stole a guy's body and his face and his life, and we can't ever talk about it or discuss it in detail because of how fucking horrifying it is that sam and dean's best friend just walks around in a dead guy suit. there's not even a human soul in there anymore. it's just a corpse. stone-cold body snatcher indeed.

not to take a break from writing my own fanfic to talk about my own fanfic but im really looking forward to lqg showing up because we've seen little of him thus far, and the reason for that is that he is not following any of the peak gossip at ALL and seldom ever lingers after meetings. thus far the Full Extent of what lqg knows about the sy situation and all peripheral events is:

- there is a child

- small shen? (does not know sy's name)

- zhangmen-shixiong's son (he took that one joke qi qingqi made when sy first arrived so literally and has not questioned it At All. he is not confused he is just very confidently incorrect)

- Shen Qingqiu Tried To Murder Zhangmen-Shixiong

you know i'll be honest, of all the things they changed about the plate of the dawnmartyr, i did not expect "the current owner won it in a bet" to be the only thing kept!

Mafia Opera being far more rough and tumble and just generally scrungly, but also way more touchy with Iruma, we get few moments of contact in canon but literally every chapter in irumafia has Opera holding or leaning on Iruma's shoulders or something to keep him close. I'm.

also for the record i started my entire pjo/hoo binge to re-evaluate people’s opinions on jason grace. i was like surely he can’t be that bad we must just be mad at him because he’s not percy.

i’m on the lost hero now.

i’m joining the war on jason hate on the side of jason hate THIS BOY—

the dark forest as a place of deceptive beauty - forever a vibrant night where so many the plants shine with colour, lighting the way through lush forests and grassy hills. you can hear the sounds of birds singing, of gentle waves sent from calm waters. it’s the picture of paradise, a promise of good hunting and comfort when you sleep. but it’s all empty. no matter how hard you search, no prey can be found. the birdsong is an illusion, the taunting call of food that does not exist here. it’s landscapes, despite their appearance, provide no refuge - any attempt to rest or stay in one area will result in the land creeping up to bury you inside it, or string you up in it’s vast canopy of branches as a decoration. the calm rushing water will weigh down anyone who steps inside it, tormenting them with memories from their own lives in an attempt to overwhelm them into giving up the fight against it. there is no peace to be found here.

I just want to say something about Kakashi and the fact that he never lashes out against the system or tried to fix it himself.

Something i’ve seen him compared to is Gojo who states he ‘could kill all the higher ups’ but i think a lot of people forget that he also says ‘nothing would change’ (which is funny to me because i saw the manga shot once and remembered it and i don’t watch JJK)

There’s a few reason’s this doesn’t work for Kakashi

1) OG Kakashi couldn’t do that.

Kakashi in OG Naruto wasn’t on par with Hiruzen. He’d lose that fight. Yes he’s an assassine but Hiruzen is a Hokage level shinobi.

He’s not going to be snuck up on that easy and in a 1 vs 1 battle Og Kakashi is not winning. War arc or Hokage Kakashi might win, but not OG Kakashi. He still has a lot of growing to do in his skills.

2) as Gojo said, nothing would change

If Kakashi could and did kill Hiruzen, then what? Tsunade maybe gets convonced to take the job or Danzo gets it. Kakashi ends up a Rogue Ninja away from all his friends, painted as the bad guy for trying to in-force his beliefs over everyone?

Gai is on par with Kakashi. Maybe he could take the rest of Konoha but Gai, Jiraiya (if he’s there), Tsunade (if she’s there)

Like, they’d all probably turn on him and try to kill him. He wouldn’t be there hero. No one would be throwing him parties.

He’d be the bad guy in everyone’s eyes.

This man has lost so much that i think that would shatter him. He wouldn’t have any more will to fight ir change shit. His will to fight the system is already so broken even when we see him go against orders.

3) it doesn’t match Kakashi’s established ‘style’

Kakashi isn’t someone who does things alone. His main motto is teamwork.

If Kakashi were to go against the system and try to change it, he’d do it with his friends. He’d convince them that the system is broken (or maybe they realize themselves like Gai) and that they need to change it.

He’d probably avoid killing.

Kakashi was an assassine but as soon as he gained power he changed the law so instead of killing enemies shinobi were to capture them.

If Kakashi can think of a way to do things without killing, he will. Everyone has a different answer to changing things (Sasuke=kill everyone, Obito & madara= eternal dream, Nagato = making everyone else suffer). Kakashi’s answer is peaceful solution where there can be one.

4) that’s not the point of this story

Naruto wants to be Hokage. Do i think he should have changed and recognized the system? Yes. But that’s not how Kishi wrote it.

In Kishi’s story as we read it, anyone directly against the system is bad no matter what their solution. Zabuza is bad until he ‘changes his mind before death’, Obito is bad until he switches side, Sasuke is bad until Naruto ‘convinces him’)

Kishi would only write Kakashi lashing out directly against the system if he wanted to make Kakashi into a bad guy in his story. Since Kakashi is one of his good guys, he had him silently and slowly changing the system with his own actions and teachings.

Kishi simply didn’t write Kakashi being against the syatem in the same way the JJK author wrote Gojo being against the system because his world is very black and white. Good and bad. (Even though Gojo’s solution is the exact same as Kakashi’s).

Kakashi is a character i believe should have been more against the current system, demanding change because he has lost so much to that system. But that’s simply not the character Kishi wrote.

Edit: may I add this man would absolutely go to bat for his students. He defied Hiruzen to save Tenzo from Danzo. He tell’s his student’s to always put their teammates before their mission and that extebds to putting his precious people over the village if he has to.

why does nobody else seem to talk about how disappointing the sky and depths were in tears of the kingdom

they held so much promise, that’s more or less two whole worlds to explore! at least on paper. but once you explore all of it you realize that the depths has exactly two biomes: the lava segment, and the rest. as for the sky, it’s almost entirely empty. most of it is made up of copy pasted shrine challenges where you do the exact same “bring the crystal to the shrine” puzzle with slightly different geometry. there are a handful of more interesting islands, like the one in the thunderhead in faron, the linear dungeon gauntlets for the wind and water temples, and of course the opening island which is probably the strongest part of the whole game. but in terms of actual space, it’s minuscule compared to the reused level geometry of the overworld and the bland, way too massive depths.

am i wrong for expecting more?? i get that it probably was this way to save time on a game that already took years to make, but i almost wish the main overworld just didn’t exist at all and they just made the depths and sky have so much more… well, depth to them. have more environment variety in both. have actual settlements in both. give the game some actual character instead of basically being sold to me as “breath of the wild, but better” because that’s more or less what tears of the kingdom is since 90% of your time playing is spent in the overworld anyway. except because that’s what it is, i feel 10x more bitter about this game than i ever did with breath of the wild.

the variation of "he would not say that" for fanart is "he would not wear that", for those modern au designs that are more about putting characters in trendy fashion than clothes that actually reflect their personalities

[obstinatecondolement]

Turns out fast, fluffy reads are not so easy breezy when they are interminably boring and clunky. I may have to adjust my strategy for reading more slightly to account for this.
