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

"i hope you get into a clown car accident involving hammers" <- worse than death and rapes threats according to staff.

because it's directed at them and not marginalized people on their website :)

#rape mention #Or last year when i got an anon with actual nazi shit in it targeting me for being jewish and the report button was broken #That doesn't matter but someone making the most cartoonish unthreatening threat in the world is incredibly scary if #she's a trans woman!! who is reasonably mad that you've mistreated her! someone sue them Now #transmisogyny #transphobia #antisemitism

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

Arcane Season 2 - The Base Violence Necessary for Change

I think this shot is the most interesting part of the trailer. We see a shot of Jinx as a painting on a wall. A symbol. A leader. Her actions stand for revolution in Zaun and I think this could be an interesting expansion of Arcane’s exploration of violence and the idea that there is a base violence necessary for change.

Silco is framed as an antagonist in season 1 because of his actions against the undercity people specifically.

In act 3 he’s not the revolutionary he positioned himself as and is instead hurting the people of Zaun through his leadership. He’s doing as much to hurt topside as Vander was in act 1 (meaning nothing at all). He’s even got the sheriff working with him just like Vander, but, unlike Vander, Silco is hurting his own people to facilitate power and he’s not even fighting for that freedom he claimed to want so much.

We see the damage his actions have wrought. We see the shimmer addicts, forgotten and exploited. We see that he's created a hierarchy rather than a community.

And it’s contrasted with the firelights. People considered terrorists to Piltover, who do use violence to fight back against Silco and topside, and yet offer the biggest glimmer of hope. They aren’t villainized. The act of fighting back isn’t villainized and it shouldn’t be.

Because it’s not the violence in and of itself that’s the issue. It’s what that violence is used for.

The series hammers this idea home through Vander.

Vander’s staunch stance against violence is flawed as well. It comes from a good place. A desire to protect what he loves rather than destroy what he hates and it did create a time free of the death revolution brings, but it’s made it so no ground could be made to free Zaun and create a better world for the people in it. It created stagnation.

The people of the undercity are still stuck in a cycle of crushing poverty, growing up without parents, dying young due to pollution or violence wrought by desperate people or oppressive enforcers.

It didn’t move the needle because Piltover and the system in place wasn’t going to change just because the people of the undercity were playing nice.

The unrest and anger felt towards Vander for his ideal was understandable. His views on the cyclical nature of violence and the fact that if you fight you will lose people (“What are you willing to lose”) is correct, but that doesn’t make this option the ideal one.

Which brings me back to that shot in the trailer of that painting of Jinx.

Season 2 looks like it’s going to be a season of opposites and rediscovery where it flips what we expect of Jinx and Vi on its head and further explores these ideas of violence, oppression, and revolution.

And I think this season might possibly do that by reversing how Vi and Jinx reflect Vander and Silco.

In the first season the siblings were direct reflections of their respective father figures, but now they’re inversions. Jinx can become the good to be found in Silco’s ideals and Vi the pitfalls of Vander’s.

Jinx’s actions in season 1 weren’t those of a revolutionary. Her actions weren’t meant to free the people of the undercity or improve their lives. She didn’t steal the hexcrystal to bring hextech to the undercity and improve their lives and she didn’t kill the enforcers on the bridge to get rid of dirty cops. She didn’t kidnap Caitlyn for a greater cause.

But we know that Jinx isn’t only the violence she enacted. That she is “the monster they (the system and people around her) created”. Her actions weren’t heroic in the first season, but they were driven by the life that was forced upon her. Her hurt and anger are justified.

Now that she’s away from Silco, no longer a part of his machine and actively participating in his actions that were hurting the undercity, her actions and anger can take on a new light. She can rediscover herself away from his manipulations (this isn’t to say he didn’t love her but what he did and said isolated her and allowed her issues to fester) and become that symbol we see on the wall.

Jinx could be in a way what Silco could have been if he didn’t let his own self interest get in the way of his ideals. Not quite as forward thinking as Ekko or as idealistic, but still a symbol for resistance that fights for Zaun.

Whereas Vi is sort of on a path to becoming a darker reflection of Vander’s ideals.

Vi becomes a part of the system she used to rage against.

Based on the season 2 teaser that was released in 2021–

“Nobody else needs to get hurt.”

–I think it’s likely that Vi believes she can prevent more death or can stop Piltover’s violence against the undercity if she takes Jinx in.

Vi sees herself as a protector who has failed at every turn to protect those she cares about. She lost her parents, Powder, Vander, Mylo, Claggor, etc. and she is constantly desperate to try and save what she loves and that will likely drive her decision to become an enforcer.

Vi, like Vander, wants to save what she loves and as a result isn’t going to fight back against topside. This is a much more extreme version of Vander’s ideals. Where she “compromises” in an attempt to prevent bloodshed but as a result enables (or in her case helps) the system in place.

This decision will have negative consequences (and deservedly so!) because no matter what thoughts or feelings are the driving factor in it she is still siding with her oppressors and ultimately helping the system that is the root cause of that loss and pain in the first place.

Based on the clip released at Annecy and what people have said the writers explained about Vi’s arc in season 2 it seems like Vi will be ostracized for this decision and deservedly so. She won’t belong anywhere. To the undercity she’s a traitor and to Piltover she’s nothing more than an undercity rat.

She will have lost everything. She will have no one to protect. And who is Vi if she’s not a protector?

Vi will be forced to re-evaluate who she is and what she wants. Just like Jinx, Vi will have to redefine herself when she loses everything.

I can’t wait for season 2 and what the team at Fortiche has in store for us. The way the show tackles complex themes and ideas is incredible and Vi and Jinx are some of the most compelling and complicated characters I’ve seen on tv. I’m looking forward to November.

#arcane #netflix #arcane vi #arcane jinx #arcane vander #arcane silco #In many ways Vi has idealized Zaun under Vander's leadership #because she was frozen in time when she was thrown into prison #after just losing him #and I think she never really got to process everything #which is why the breakdown #of everything she believes she is #is necessary for her arc #She needs to live in the world that has #moved on and changed #without her old ties #(and without caitlyn)#and discover what it is she wants and believes in #Vi cares #she cares a lot but she's a broken person #who never got the chance to heal #and she makes desperate impulsive decisions #as a result #she does want to make a better future for Zaun #But she doesn't know what that is #JInx on the flipside will have the chance to #rediscover the best of herself in some ways #Parts of Powder are still in there #by that I mean she still cares #She isn't a killing machine

Crazy issues that come up when a character is written a little too well

#yay story time comic nobody asked for #funnily enough i will NEVER play undertale on the computer because of this #my first exposure to undertale was jacksepticeye and i am glad i didn't opt to play the game myself at the time #flowey closing the game and then the broken start up cutscene was bad enough just WATCHING it #and i STILL have to watch that chara thing at the end with a far distance from my screen and the volume down #not because of the scary face but because of the violin noise that sounds like its a repeating tone rather than a loop #and then of course the window hopping around #am also very glad i was spoiled about the spamton mercy win before i tried it myself #am slightly worried about future deltarune chapters but at least now i'm anticipating it #anyway remember when i tagged that one post ''i'm scared of computers and it's a monkey's fault''#now you know :3 #i really wanted this done on thursday #and apparently dawn's brain says friday doesn't happen until after i fall asleep #so now i am awake and it is 4:30 and i hear birds chirping so nighty night #((or good morning))#yay comic :D i was right this did help a lot with getting some program familiarity #it's not the greatest paneling in the world but it's good for now #idk if i should really tag him or not #but uh #spamton #deltarune #spamton enjoyers i am so sorry #i am terrified of him only because he does his job in the story very well

i have this entire fleshed out shy reader lore for i guess a hypothetical universe where shy reader dated jj and/or pope first but eventually they broke up because of the whole season one treasure plotline not even because of a lack of love but mostly just her feeling neglected and alone. right at the end of all of that is when she would meet rafe just when he’s in that season two craziness/spiral and they become so insanely codependent and just around there somewhere when the pogues hate rafe even more they find out he’s dating shy reader and it’s just a whole other layer. so basically obx writers let me into the room.

#there’s so much more though I’m sure no one cares #this is my favorite shy reader plotline that I’ve never elaborated on #there’s so much angst and sadness about shy reader breaking up with pope or jj (I can’t decide which one)#because shy reader always loves with her whole heart and she thinks especially with pope/jj that it’ll last forever #sensitive/broken shy reader meeting spiraling/crazy rafe like it’s a match made in heaven #she takes his possessiveness and toxicity as a sign of love and attention after being neglected (sorry pope/jj..)#he thrives off of being able to fully control someone and actually have power in something for once #OH and then when pope and jj find out it’s just mayhem like so much angst #and in my 🩷💞💕perfect world of Shea🩷💞💕 rafe is locking this girl in #shy reader is carrying around the dead Cameron moms engagement ring like before the third season #ok I’ll shut up now

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!

See, ghosts got bored, a lot, Danny did too. When Amity became a neutral and cooperative zone they decided to go exploring. Which was mostly fine, since most of them didn't really mean any harm. And the GIW had been dismantled, Danny preferred to let people speculate why rather than answer.

The problem arose when the ghosts of the Realms encountered other types of ghosts. Apparently there were spirits that did not reach the Realms and became weak or simply vengeful (spiteful?)

The ghosts Danny knew were very upset because apparently "weak" ghosts were extremely rude. So he started talking to them (when they didn't want to talk, or refused, the thermos was a good solution)

Very quickly people started calling him "Ghostbuster", he found it ironic since he wasn't actually repelling ghosts, he was attracting them and sometimes collecting them. A ghost named Deadman yelled at him for not "respecting the rights of the dead", to which the halfa raised an eyebrow. The ghost vanished before he could explain that all ghosts were in the Realms or Amity (where people didn't really mind sharing a house with a spirit).

He shrugged and continued visiting all the ghosts that his friends pointed out to him. He argued with a certain "Zatanna Zatara" and "John Constantine" for disturbing the rest of the dead. Danny rolled his eyes as he chose to ignore them.

It wasn't long before Justice League Dark branded him a "ghost threat" and people in general called him out asking for help with their haunted houses (Danny hadn't really considered turning his travels into a job but at least he was getting paid). The halfa wondered how wizards would react if they knew he was ghost hybrid and his "Ghostbuster Team" was full of ghosts.

#dpxdc #Realms Ghosts got curious #they explored the world #and called Danny when they found something interesting #like weak ghost that were extremely rude #dp x dc #dc x dp #Danny captured most of them #the ones who liked earth stayed in Amity #Amity citizens didn't care about sharing house with a ghost #the others are on the realms #the vengeful ones are being treated by Frostbite because of a broken obsession or other common diseases #JLD misunderstood everything #They think Danny is disappearing all the ghosts #and that it doesn't matter if they are good or not #Deadman is scared #They didn't realize Danny is always talking with Realm Ghost because they usually dress up and most of them look very solid #JLD doesn't have experience with Infinte Realms yet #People call Danny a Ghostbuster #GIW end is up to you

Juna & Everett

Dragging @tallulahchanel into the sleepover mess.

Just a reminder that part two for Let Nature Take Her Course is still coming...

“She’s your ex-wife?!” How the fuck did I not know this?! This is what I get for not researching the humans I decide to work with. “Everett, why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t think it was important! Why do you care so much?!”

This made me pause. Why did I care? Wait, that’s an easy one. “Duh. This woman is literally evil. Sure, I was going to kill humans, but it was to save the planet as a whole. She just wants to kill humans so she can win the most money.”

Everett blinked at me. “I can’t believe you’re trying to pass off what you were going to do as less evil. Juna…”

But before he could continue, I turned at the sound of something breaking the ocean's surface. Namor came waltzing up to the beach, stopping when he was waist-deep in the water.

He held his hand out and called to me in Yucatec Maya. “My sunlight, why do you let the humans continue to drive you to the end? Come with me.”

“Who the hell is that?!” Everett’s voice broke the moment and it took all my self-control not to knock him over with a giant wave.

I turned towards Ev with a glare on my face and he gulped. “You know, you’re right. Why should I care? You want to deal with her evil? Fine!”

He watched as I ripped off my jacket and kicked off my boots. “Juna?”

“See you around, Agent Ross.” He winced at the formality of the title as I turned and walked into the ocean, not caring about the weight the water was putting on the jeans I was wearing. Soon, everything would be lightweight.

Namor took my hand and gave a smile to Everett, an edge to the look. “Good to meet you, Agent Ross.”

I knew Namor was gloating and at that moment, I didn’t care. Namor was right; I didn’t belong with the humans. Even after everything that happened. Maybe I should take my place at Namor’s side.

#let nature take her course #when the world is broken #nature will heal #everett ross #juna #original female character #namor
