Very Minor Spoiler for Episode 7 (S2) of Rings of Power
Thinking casually about Galadriel's declaration earlier this season that caring for that which is most fragile and most dear is the duty entrusted to all elves and how Celebrimbor's gentle care in noticing and greeting that little mouse is what allowed him to see past Sauron's deception. :)
#the rings of power#trop season 2#trop spoilers#celebrimbor#“hello mister mouse” what if I weep?#The way that caring for even the most fragile or insignificant of things is how you defeat darkness#the mouse is the message of the entire show#this whole season#galadriel was wrong when she asked elrond to put defeating sauron above all other goals: even her life#because abandoning your friends to peril or death in the pursuit of the destruction of evil is never the message#and we're going to see that play out with nori and the stranger the way we saw it play out with elrond and galadriel the way it played#out with miriel and elendil the way it played out with galadriel and celebrimbor the way it played out with new southlands girl and isildur#the way it played out with gil galad and elrond the way it played out with arondir and theo the way it played out with berek and isildur#the way it will play out with elrond and durin the same way it has always played out from sam and frodo to aragorn legolas and gimli#with merry and pippin or in standing by those in need like bilbo with thorin and company like#this is the story <3

The Stranger has visited me more times than I can count, Grand Maester. I assure you… he cares little whether my eyes are open or closed.
#is this the cleanest bunch of parallels? no#but we're rocking with it#i have loved this insight into Laena's death ever since it aired as a preview clip#and you see it with both Laenor's death and Corlys's almost-death#she is no stranger (pun intended) to loss#girlie i wish the show had shone more of a light but we had to move on from your tragedy ASAP#house of the dragon#rhaenys targaryen#eve best#my gifs#hotdedit

Happy March 27th, everyone.
Happy Steve carried Eddie out of the Upside Down and sat by his hospital bed and held his hand all night until Eddie woke up and now they have matching scars day.
Happy Eddie didn't try to be cute and everything went according to plan and Vecna was killed before getting to Max and they all came back in one piece to be a big trauma-bonded found family day.
Happy Eddie opens his eyes and finds himself alone in the Upside Down and what the fuck why are his fangs suddenly so sharp and he craves blood day.
Happy the lights at Steve's house won't stop flickering, three times short, three long, three short again day.
Happy Vecna never happened and Steve & Eddie met some other way so it's just a regular Thursday of coming back from work and cuddling on the couch watching a movie day.
#death day what death day#we don't talk about it in this house#we're all delusional here but we're happy that way#the steddie multiverse > canon#eddie munson#steddie#stranger things

whenever i see someone who is like "yes but [x] isnt as oppressed as [y]!!" or "[x] is widely accepted now!!" as a way to like. disregard queer people's experiences. i'm just like. have you been outside? have you been in the real world?
#im just.#infighting is so dumb#'you're tme so you can't talk about-' first of all. we're not tme. transmasc =/= tme. honestly tme is a dumbass label anyway and has just#become a 'progressive' way to ask for agab#what do you think a boy/masc person in a dress reads as to transphobes. you think theyre gonna apologize if i say#'actually im transmasc not transfemme'#thats not how that works-#every time we try to correct our pronouns we get stopped because it's 'inappropriate' and 'uncomfortable'#same with every time we try to explain our gender#and yet there are still people online trying to judge if a complete stranger is 'queer enough' to count#(and if they're 'not' the reaction is like. death threats for some reason??)#and im always like. GO OUTSIDE. PLEASE.#the queerphobe on the bus does not ask for your labels before calling you slurs. the bully harassing you will not stop and apologize if you#try to say 'i'm not [x] actually im [y]'#they do not care. they are full of hate and they have already decided on a target.#also? you have no right to a stranger's labels and life experiences#trying to demand that is already creepy. especially since your goal is to see if they're worthy of respect#ok rant over i think. just. ahhghh

#Didn't want to add kink discourse to a random stranger's post But#The way so many soft feedists have overused the word 'wholesome' to describe that flavour of feedism has made it a total turn-off to me#Even a red flag#Bc it's always used on posts deliberately trying to make feedism seem more palatable and harmless#And to distance themselves from CNC/health play/fatphobia play feedism#And to be like 'haha normies think we're evil but we're really such uwu cutie-pies'#😒 sorry but first of all I wanna be a grown adult into feedism - like you do you but sometimes it's treated as if#soft feedism IS baby talk feedism and that that's the default? Like that there's death feedism or there's tumby feedism and that's it#And on the other hand it screams moralizing kink and makes it easier to excuse your own and others' bad behavior#Because I'm just a harmless little soft feedist who cares about fat people not like one of those unenlightened dark feedists#Where someone's potential for causing discomfort or contributing to abusive dynamics is reduced to fixed attributes or aesthetics#rather than to someone's (or your own) actual actions#I know I've talked about this before and I know I'm a soft feedist at heart myself AND I know I'm being hyperbolic#But whenever several 'wholesome' posts start circulating around my dash ad nauseum like they have the past few days 😒😒😒#I just try to grit my teeth but I need to let the hater rattle the bars of its cage about it once in a while...#Obligatory 'this is not directed at anyone- I've seen a few lately and it's more about patterns of behavior than individual posts'

🎼Trauma Dump🎶
If I just up and disappear I may have died. I think I have a DVT but can't go to the hospital in case it's not. So if I stroke out or something someone finish my fics 🤘 took aspirin, drinking tons of water and cranberry juice, elevated the leg. Let's see, might be punching out the week before my 32nd 👻
#this is dark#i know#sorry yall#personal#tw death#op#trauma dump#american healthcare#lol#what healthcare#this isnt a joke tho#pray for me#may it be quick and sort of painless#im not afraid to die#but i am#afraid of pain#if i should die before i wake#i pray the lord my soul to take#cremate me#spread my ashes in england#though ive never been there#leave my house to my sister in law#leave my car to my cousin Livi#whoever comes after me better come after season 5 of stranger things airs so they can tell me how it ends#death#we're old friends me and death#ill greet them like a lover#if its over its over#and ill be okay

i will always be on my high horse about believing henry equals one equals vecna when i first watched st4, and STILL believing he didn't deserve to be trapped in the lab for decades and getting a genuine pit in my stomach when baby henry was strapped down, branded, and visibly afraid/uncomfortable under brenner's care. like idk man it seems like something went wrong in your life if you saw a child pinned like a bug, no matter their supposed circumstances, and thought they deserved it. sounds like a huge moral failing on your part
#especially when he's not even a real person lmao like damn why are you trying to punish this string of text#like genuinely i will always be a pretentious asshole about this LMAO#even when i truly believed they were all the same person i was still like. damn. this Sucks tho#and obviously he's going to be someone who's meant to be sympathized and empathized with#like. BEFORE i was ever part of the fandom AT ALL i was like. oh yeah this is meant to just be sad and devastating and#we're not meant to actually be mad at him. this is meant to be sad. this is meant to be gut wrenching#but instead 99% of people jumped on the bandwagon of 'evil from birth' like wow y'all really are stupid huh#anyway. bye.#i say things#stranger things#like straight up i wasnt even actually mad at him or thought he deserved a horrible death EVEN AFTER he became vecna#like. even AFTER the massacre and the hawkins teens i was genuinely still there like. wow this is sad. what a tragedy#for everyone involved INCLUDING him. bc he was obviously pushed here.

here's another example of mike breaking the pattern by being the first one to do it
bonus foreshadowing:
#the tragic death in dustin's arms was supposed to be steve's#i'm convinced#it would've fit the One Season Later pattern#if steve dies in season 4 then dustin gets reckless and dies in season 5#do you see the vision#mike also broke that rule when he almost died only two episodes after the verdict of mortality was given#he doesn't waste time#unless that means the thing in the tunnels was also a near miss?#and if we're talking about near misses he got his head slammed into a metal pipe the season after THAT#then he got SHOT AT the season after THAT#honestly it seems like it's trying to catch up to him#that isn't ominous at all#stranger things#ugh do i have to tag all of them#mike wheeler#steve harrington#jim hopper#dustin henderson#jonathan byers#argyle#i guess#he doesn't seem to be in any foreshadowing danger but he is also here#im not saying The Other One's name#this is a ***** hate blog#st posting

baru cormorant seems to me to be a series that suffers miserably for me having read machineries of empire first. unfortunately everything BC is doing strikes me as something MoE did better and more believably and with much a greater and more grounded eye for how systems, complex system interaction, and oppression like. work
#red rambles#also i don't like the writing very much so I'm not having as much fun with it as i did with MoE#but YHL straight up writes with the exact approach and methodology *i* write - the narrative frame is extremely close. the lines are punchy#the description is sparse the info we are delivered is typically in short wacky one-off chunks that tell us not only something about the#world but something about the narrator who is also the main character whose head we're in#the timing. so on and so forth#someone told me that seth dickinson is transfem but i cant find her (?) pronouns anywhere so if anyone knows where to see them i'd#appreciate a link if only to complain that i don't like her (?) writing that much in comparison because it is a lot less.... rewardingly#entertaining i suppose. when compared to the way yoon ha lee structures his. there are much fewer twists#and of course the major huge twist of Baru Cormorant was hidden from the reader which i just think is *bad form* when it comes to intrigue!#when yhl will lay all the moving pieces of the plot before you openly and say 'hey. isn't that a funny side tangent. anyway look to your#left; something is exploding' and then as it keeps unfolding he goes 'and here in small scale is how it is being used! isn't that#interesting to see how these pieces move? now look to your right; something is exploding' and then at the very end it all comes perfectly#together#the way i felt around the middle/end of Raven Strategem when i understood the spy network the first time is something that BC cannot do#you aren't trusted with the pieces and you don't get to play the game of understanding that you weren't *told* literally everything#i'm reading monster baru cormorant today as i go about my errands and I kinda don't think it's what i want because i want it to be the kind#of working awful poisoned bloodstained empire as the hexarchate and i want it to be a complex contradictory overlapping system like the#hexarchate's army and i want the banal cruelty of perfectly decent people condemning strangers to awful awful bloody deaths because they're#'not like us' instead of the petrified horror *everyone* has of the Social Contagion Agents because i just do not BUY the construction of#dickinson's Social Hygiene Offices and their place in the world#but i cant just read the MoE books any more. i'll get bored. i'm already kind of bored of reading them over and over

Reading up on the current Dream drama like a suburban mother listening to her kids explain the lore of the game they've been playing in the woods for a month
