tbh i dont think the finale was as complicated as everyone makes it out to be. sutekh is a viewer, just like us. hes obsessed with the "mystery". ruby's mum isn't the reason it snows, or the reason that christmas eve 2004 is "raw and open" and keeps changing. its sutekhs obsession. he gave that night its importance by building it up and obsessing over the answer to the one question he couldnt find, in the same way that we did. we gave rubys abandonment its huge significance with all our theories and our desperate need to understand. in a way, we are sutekh. voyeurs of a deeply personal moment that we never had any right to. building ruby into a mystery when shes really just a person. shes special because we believe she is. time is memory.
#god the use of tv as a medium in this season was unparalleled#to US theyre tv show characters but to THEM theyre living people#of course the reveal was anticlimactic#ruby sunday isnt a legendary tale. shes not a chosen one#shes just ruby#she worked so hard for her happy ending and she deserves it#ruby and her mum are paralleled by the kind woman and her baby#not 'special' or alien or chosen by fate#just kind#what saves a broken world?#random acts of kindness.#doctor who#doctor who spoilers#ruby sunday#empire of death

are. are you telling me that if the romanced mage warden dies and alistair is king, he deadass stares greagoir down over her dead body and grants the circle of ferelden its autonomy after ordering it rebuilt somewhere safer. first you have to deliberately leave him behind so he won't die for you and then he does that for you once you're gone, even when you're broken up??? absolute and literal king behaviour of the highest order????? the actions speak louder than words of it all??????? I think I hauve covid
#that's the hottest thing I've ever heard I feel nuts#what an absolute chad alistair continues to be tbh there may be a day when men fail but it will not be when he's here#like I'm very sorry to the blond chantry boy repeat crowd but cullen could & would NEVER!!! they are NOT the same!!!!#dragon age#dragon age origins#alistair theirin#alistair x warden#can u imagine what it must be like to be irving standing there watching this happen. you're free and your kid is dead. congrats#tried to free her from the circle and she's the sacrificial lamb that bought the circle's freedom instead. fuck dude#it does make for a very sad kind of symmetry that every time irving tries to get clever with it he triggers a monkey's paw situation fhdskj#I am replaying the game with my new canon (mistress amell + king alistair to save him from the da:i fade choice lol)#and in doing research I found out about this and had my world rocked. I've never had my warden die before so this is new to me#(my warden isn't dying in this canon to be clear she's going to be the reason no one would dare assassinate king alistair lol#nightmare bae eminance gris behind the throne/loving and supportive partner with a fade connection and a vengeful side#she's going to be like sam vimes tiredly fending off assassins as the watch books go on except she murders a lot more people back)#the way his voice breaks in the version where they were broken up tho... sick and twisted and mean to me specifically

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage - The World Within
#kingdom hearts 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage#kh0.2#the world within#dwarf woodlands#realm of darkness#scenery#my gif#this world is interesting because it's so different from the rest#the sky looks like some sort of dome with triangular screens that project a broken glitchy sky#almost as if it takes place in some kind of data simulation#which i don't think is the case but it adds to the feeling of aqua's experiences here not feeling ''real''#i mean this place hardly even resembles what the original world is supposed to look like#like it changed to match aqua's psyche. forcing her to look at her own reflection and confront her own fears; doubts; guilt; and sadness#actually now that i think about it this feels extremely fitting for this world#it's like when snow white was running through the forest and was so afraid that it made the trees around her look alive and dangerous#except aqua has to wander this broken world and face her dark thoughts that take shape by looking exactly like her#she's constantly running in and out of mirrors into rooms that make no logical sense like the endless staircase and the pillar maze#there are ghostly echoes spoken in her own voice that mock her by saying no one can save her and no one wants to. it's chilling#i can't even say for sure if the phantom aquas are actually physically there or if it's all in her head#similar to how she'd see visions of terra and ven#she's such a tragic character

People want all the benefits of Christianity without all the repenting of sin, putting it to death and trusting in Christ part.
#christianity#bible#christian#the culture#society#like you wouldnt have things such as human rights or even basic things we take for granted today#if it wasnt for Christians#christians fostered modern science because we believe that out world#is knowable and a creation made by God#not a divine entity#christians fostered the dignity of women and children within the roman empire#Christianity founded the whole of western society and yall are over here correlating the actions of church with God?#the church is made up of broken and needy people who realize they need a Savior#learn about God#learn about Christ Jesus the Son of Man who came and died for the world#but yall dont want to#yall wanna keep doing what your doing because you think you know better#and I DO THAT A LOT#but at least i realize i know i do and I trust in Christ to guide me to do better#ita like pulling nails but im more mature than i ever was before#He saved me from myself and my sins#and I couldn't be more joyful#lord jesus christ

OKAY FUCKING IMAGINE WITH ME
The original concept for the manga comes true; it all comes full circle.
Deku gets support items. They mimic the quirks of ofa. He uses up his embers and continues to be a hero quirkless. He does not falter and continues to grow and improve. His power is never like it was but his experience and determination are what made him a true hero.
He and Bakugou still compete and they do not give up hope on being a hero duo.
They get a hero agency together and Deku is extremely popular as not only the new symbol of peace but as a true embodiment of how anyone can be a hero. He is an inspiration to quirkless kids and normalizes it. Kids who think they have useless quirks or are quirkless realize that they can do and be anything they want to.
Deku becomes the number one hero and competes with Bakugou as to who can maintain that rank the longest (their ranks are constantly shifting and they are always battling for who’s one and two,, Todoroki gets number one for like a month and both of them lose their minds)
It comes out that All Might was also born quirkless and he opens about it in an interview for a retrospect. He explains how proud he is of Midoriya and how he admires how he continues to fight as he, himself, had lost his spirit to keep fighting after he lost his quirk.
Deku continues to be a pillar of hope. Of the belief of good. Of reform and understanding. And under his influence, the world becomes more like what he embodies.
The essence of what a true hero is.
#an angstier version that is brewing#is he continues to be a hero quirkless#but can’t keep up#and Bakugou tells him that no matter what the ranks say#he has saved more lives than anyone on the planet. combined#sorry im having a moment#but I need quirkless hero deku#it truly would be the most beautiful and inspiring thing#he never needed a quirk to be a hero#he needed to be the person that got through to Shigaraki#it was never about how powerful he was. or how many powers he possed#*possessed#what won the battle. what saved the world. was the compassion and determination to understand#it’s what beat Toga. it’s what beat dabi.#taking responsibility and understanding and reaching out is truly what saved them#and it’s such a beautiful way to culminate this story#deku always embodied that#and I need him to continue doing so#because that would truly make the message of this story come through#bnha#bnha spoilers#bnha manga spoilers#bnha save#deku#izuku midoriya#bakugou katsuki#bakudeku#<- could be platonic or anything but it is undeniable their intrinsic love and care for each other that can not be broken#and how intertwined they have and will always br#I also wrote this in such a rush so bear with me

Unfortunately now that I’ve finally seen it, I 100% cannot stand the Solavellan ending and like I knowww that’s in large part because I’ve been functioning on a different level with the ship the entire time but it’s just sooo forgiving of Solas and sooo tragic for Lavellan and does not include the most fascinating element of their dynamic to me which is ‘Solas starts to see the value of the current world because of how much Lavellan loves it and is so deeply part of it’ and in fact fully discards it because Lavellan just fucks off to fade prison for “true love”
#datv spoilers#datv critical#it is not the worst thing about the datv ending (that’s the secret ending doing character assassination) but listen#I have spent so many years loving Lavellan in a ‘framed photo on my desk for over five years’ sort of way#and the entire game just feels so cruel to her (and those who loved the past games because wtf do you mean everyone is Ferelden is dying)#and then to have her end reward to All The Shit The World Has Done To Her For Over A Decade#is fade prison??? leaving it all behind for fade prison because she’ll get her kisses in???#anyways I think the solavellan ending should be that solas binds his godhood to the veil to sustain it and goes to live a mortal life with#lavellan and her dalish tribe and just shutting up about how things should be and how the dalish don’t understand#and just accepting how their culture is good and beautiful just as it is#and lavellan gets to share what she loves and build a beautiful normal life#they can sit under the tree planted for the death of my lavellan’s mother and watch her nephews play and enjoy both how even if the world#is radically different and was broken it has grown into something worth loving and#that all the effort lavellan expended to save everything was worth it#anyways I can and will talk about datv for hours but alas it is not in the same ways I can about dragon age in general#I am biting biting biting biting biting forever#brain thoughts

what i don’t understand is how saving the word doesn’t give the bad kids ANY sort of credit. like???? they go to an adventuring school?? isn’t saving the world the whole point
#*fizzyspeaks#dimension 20#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#even extra credit At Least for the ones that happened outside the school year#saved the world 3 times and gorgug’s failing barbarian classes…what do you think he’s been doing this whole time???#sitting on his ass??#broken ass school system

WAIT WAIT WAIT CONSIDER THIS: TOM AND BARBARA AS ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE, ALAN AND ALICE AS A DOOMED RETELLING
#alan wake#like this is fully what they already are - not in a 'someone make this content' way. they just Are#alan wake 2#alice wake#tom zane#barbara jagger#barbara dies in a tragedy and tom is overcome with grief and through art and song (film/poetry) moves heaven and earth to bring#her back from the darkness - only to discover the dark place did not grant him his love again merely a shade of her#and so in that same roiling grief he destroyed himself - cast himself back into hell#the dark place took Alice so Alan followed her into hell - but despite Thomas's guidance he could not save both himself and Alice#and so he did the impossible and trapped himself in exchange for her freedom#Alan was taken by the dark place and so Alice followed him into hell once more#and she - knowing he could not afford to look back if he was ever to escape - tricked him into thinking she was already lost#sacrificing herself to lead him back to the light#and now the cycle is broken. alan cannot follow her into hell again - at least not in the same way as before#but in breaking the cycle he has declared himself the master of two worlds - is this hubris? has he doomed himself again with those words?#or does he hold the reins now? will he be able to reach into the underworld and free her? have they trancended myth itsel#*itself?#anyway. I'm a genius (jk)

okay now I need a fic compilation of what were to happen if carmen were to be sick in every episode of the series
like, getting taken by VILE or some team red comfort (especially with the introduction of dadowsan)…
#carmen sandiego#carmen sandeigo netflix#carmen sandeigo#carmen sandeigo 2019#carmen sandiego 2019#team red#zack#ivy#player#shadowsan#and team red will give her one#carmen deserves some break time even for a criminal in the run from countries’ law enforcement; ACME and VILE. like how does this lady not#have a compromised immunity from her supposed sleep deprivation and meltdowns from her also supposed PTSD and anxiety#relatable characters 2024#she’s probably passed out and become delirious from a fever in front of shadowsan#who knows what goes on#team red convincing her to rest but she’s like ‘I have a world to save’ is so relatable 😭 like she’s so caring for others she sometimes#forgets about her own mental wellbeing#maybe shadowsan tries to talk to her about it#i love the idea of shadowsan checking in on her mid mission when she looks sick#and then maybe she’s so off her game that she gets herself a concussion or a twisted or BROKEN body part#then she gets so disappointed in herself but her team’s there for her. they get how traumatised she is and how she doesn’t want anyone to g#through what she did. Especially her old vile teammates; despite having to battle them (and her internal demons) she still deeply cares for#then because they were her support in her teenage years#they’re like ‘it’s okay you’ll save the world someday. we can tell that you tried. sometimes your body needs rest days and this is one’

House MD is literally all just gay sex like. Thats it. I dont know how else you explain how this is ending
#in sickness and in health or some shit what the hell is wrong with them <333#if you didnt know wilson (oncologist) gets cancer and has like 5 months or shit to live#and house (epitome of self-destruction) is desperatly trying to save him#actually whatever they have going on is deeper than gay sex#i understand them (im aromantic)#<- its not romantic its not sexual. it is gay though#i did enjoy that while wilson almost died in houses apartment (where he'd rather die than anywhere else (dont read into that))#house like. called hookers and took silly pictures and put it all into a video so he'd feel better#literallyy theyre soooooo#sorry#i just like when there are middle aged to older guys who only understand each other because they are broken#and the world is fucked up and so are they and they hurt each other all the time but they also need each other because. who else would#be there for them?#uggghhhhh#im not even done#im on the second to last ep#nightjay blogging#i need one of them to stab the other i think it would fix them

zelda and shadow in the fsa manga drive me ridiculously insane actually. the panel where shadow is kneeling on the floor and zelda is standing there looking down at him and they're SEEING each other is enough to give me fucking RABIES. LOOK AT THIS
#IT'S ABOUT HOW THEY GO FROM ANTAGONIZING EACH OTHER AT THE BEGINNING TO ACTUALLY TRULY GENUINELY SEEING EACH OTHER AT THE END!!!!#HOW ZELDA GOES FROM 'You're no shadow! More like a faint and twisted echo! Even at his WORST Link would never be as crude and rude as you!'#TO 'Do you really think the light will hurt you? Don't you see? You are a Link‚ too. Deep inside‚ you're really a hero.'#AND HOW SHADOW GOES FROM 'Curse you... ...Princess Zelda!'#and. all the other things#TO BRAVING THE WORLD OF LIGHT AGAIN EVEN THOUGH HE'S WEAKENED AND PAINED AND TERRIFIED OF THE LIGHT#BECAUSE SHE WAS THE FIRST PERSON WHO EVER SPOKE A KIND WORD TO HIM AND MEANT IT. NO STRINGS ATTACHED. NO REWARD. JUST KIND.#EVEN WHEN SHE HAD ALL THE REASON NOT TO BE.#SO HE TAKES VIO'S FORM AND TELLS THE OTHER LINKS WHAT'S GOING ON (AND EXPERIENCES REAL CONCERN AND WORRY FROM THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER#WHICH IS A WHOLE OTHER FUCKING POST) AND SHATTERS THE FUCKING MIRROR. SHATTERS HIS WHOLE LIFE.#BECAUSE SHE BELIEVED IN HIS ABILITY TO BE A HERO. BECAUSE SHE WAS KIND TO HIM. BECAUSE SHE SAW HIM. BECAUSE SHE *REALLY* SAW HIM.#BECAUSE HE WANTED TO SAVE HER. TO LIVE UP TO THAT KINDNESS. TO BE THE HERO SHE SAW IN HIM. LIKE!!!!!!!!!#i will lose my mind over it. i will genuinely lose my mind.#she looked at him as pathetic and weak and broken as he was and saw her friend in him. and she was kind. and so he sacrificed himself.#because someone was kind to him and meant it. head in my FUCKING hands.#sorry it's going insane about the four swords adventures manga again hours. but when is it not honestly#fsa#txt

You may think its unfair that I’m swapping Stormfur and Feathertail purely because I feel like the boy should’ve died to even things out with the parents. And it kinda is. But in return I’m giving him a huge honor: The only cat who’s killed a man onscreen.
#like. a human man not a cat man#im just imagining now like. the cats are fighting against the man as much as they can but they can barely get close when he has the gun and#and his dog#and hes pissed off now because the cats have ‘stolen’ another one of his cats#stormfurs been injured already. hes been kicked and now hes nursing a broken rib.#and the dog corners feathertail somehow and shes pinned against the tree. crowfoot sees and runs to try and save her. the others as well#and stormfur is wheezing. he sees what the twoleg is about to do. the world slows down for him. and he stands up#and he POUNCES ON THAT MAN. to hell with his gear and to hell with that stick. dont. fuck. with. his. sister.#hes on the gun hes on the mans face he is slashing it with the ferocity of lionclan. the man tries to yank him off but cant#the man starts wildly firing the gun so no one can get close. the dog tries to help but to no avail#and finally the man staggers… over the gorge. stormfur falls with him.#maybe its also like storming and shit so its hard to see. and its symbolic bc of stormfurs name#razorverse#animal abuse#animal death#ask to tag

i have an obsession with main characters that are chosen for twisted reasons and deconstruct the chosen one archetype. think katniss everdeen willing to die for her sister in televised brutality only to be dolled up and forced to function through her trauma as a prop for the rebellion, exploited by everyone around her only to be abandoned at the very end when she dared to do something of her own volition. think sophie foster being designed in a lab and tossed into the cruelty of the human world, dangled as bait for the black swan’s enemies and levelled up like a piece of technology whenever she is needed, scarred and tortured in every way that’s imaginable but scorned when she dares to step up. think clarke griffin stepping up to be a leader because the footing is familiar for her only to be dragged blindly through a ruthless path thay cuts everything she has away from her one by one, and when she has nothing left to give, her life is taken and twisted and pulled thin until she is needed once again to make an impossible choice.
#main characters#the chosen one#but twisted#katniss everdeen#clarke griffin#sophie foster#none of them were really chosen by somr higher force#katniss and clarke did what they had to to save the ones they love and tried their best to be leaders#but katniss was only needed as a prop and clarke was dragged through hell for not being perfect at 17#and sophie was biologically engineered to assist her broken world and is never allowed to want things for herself without consequences

Want to actually kill myself :-/
#not really 😿#i just. i feel that i am making a mistake 😿 and it's horrible because the mistake i am making is the only thing i have ever really wanted#its fucking worth it i guess. is it? apparently love is worth it even when it makes you want to die#maybe love shouldnt make you want to die. maybe its me thats broken. if its good and beautiful i dont deserve it but if it's hard and ugly#then you just hate yourself because it must be your fault and you must be able to do better#and i just love her so much but what if she cant get better. i know she can. but what if i cant save her#what if i end up so much more doomed for my efforts. what if i spend another two years trying to keep my head above water trying to solve#unsolvable problems and fighting a loosing battle against someone who?#should be my partner my friend my equal#trying to fill someones head with love and goodness in vein because they wont let go or loosen their grip on their trauma responses#will i really be able to live the life i want to live if i keep promising her the world. what if i just fail once again for thebillionthtime#what if i make her hate me what if im still not enough.i am setting myself up to get my heart broken in themost spectacular worldending way.#and its actually horrifying. i want to live under a fucking rock forever and never make any fri3nds ever again because maybe I'll finally#feel safe that way. yay#who up catastrophising with me tonight. yippee. lets all hold hands so tight

- the oratrice has to play a role in furina's plan to save fontaine. the original sin committed by egeria is probably what furina, as the hydro archon, is being sentenced to. could there be a way for furina to "separate" herself, sentencing part of herself to death and entrusting the future of fontaine's justice to another? (i'm still stuck in the three thrones so fragmentation of the self is something i think has been hinted at) could this mean the end of the oratrice itself?
- neuvillette looked like he was hovering above the entire city while using his powers. we know he doesn't have his full sovereign powers so if he is the one stopping the flooding, what power is he using? could he be making use of the hydro gnosis?
- the oratrice has been accumulating energy and power as a means to an end, it converts fontaine's people's belief in justice into indemnitium. could this be the power that will save the nation?
- remember nicole's quote after scaramouche deleted himself from the irminsul? "unfortunately, the fate of teyvat cannot easily be changed. perhaps a god may have a slim chance, but for anyone else... who can say. [...] history does not change easily, but human hearts can. believe your own eyes. only that which you see is true. what is unseen is but an illusion." this ties with the themes of fontaine a bit to well for it not feel like some sort of foreshadowing. nicole also appears in the trailer saying" the prophecy... yes, what has been prophesized will be fullfiled." coincidence? i don't think so. arlecchino and furina constantly talk as if everything is teatrichal and the name of this quest masquerade of the guilty also implies a false show. do i know what this means exactly? no. but you can't tell me this isn't big and related to the way atonement will be reached regarding the sin tainting fontaine and it's people.
#i don't know what to make of everything but i can't stop thinking about the trailer#i'm not informed enough on genshin lore for this brainrot 😂#continuing though. there's no way skirk in human i'm just gonna say it. what is she exactly? no idea#i just know i looked at her and thought she looks straight out of honkai#could she be from outside teyvat/this world? could she be an abyssal creature?#but she's not just a girl no way people also pointing out how her designs resembles the whale and vishaps#she aslo apparently resembles this honkai character that i don't remember the name of who's also not human#so eyes on her 👀#anyways that's all for now i think#i really wanted to write down this before i forgot especially nicole's quote i'm so interested in the hexenzirkel#oh there's also the narzissenkreuz ordo too!!! the clock falling has to mean fontaine was saved/the prophecy was broken right?#still curious about the possible narzissenkreuz member who said something about focalors 'fooling' them#i forgot the words#furina is so marie antoinette coded i love that for her what a queen#anyways bye ignore me spamming you all today 😂#genshin thoughts#genshin impact#my post
