imagine if tony did everything not to die and leave peter on his own. considering he lost his parents at a young age and he was stabbed in the back by stane, his mentor, tony would do everything to break this cycle, especially after sm homecoming and infinity war.

tony sacrifices himself a lot throughout the mcu. but if he got to live and stay with peter - and morgan, pepper, rhodey, happy etc.! -, that would've been so much more cathartic to me than tony dying for nothing.

idk man i know times are hard but i can't help but feel that watcher putting all their eggs in the basket that is their own streaming service is a bad call. like sure i totally get wanting a platform where you have full control both creatively and financially but i feel they might be misjudging how much loyalty non-hardcore fans might have for what they're creating. in every internet fandom there's a subsection of people willing to pay with actual money to support the creators they enjoy, and that's what services like patreon are for. but to expect that casual viewers will sign up and pay a monthly fee to get access to just watcher content when a large portion of them were likely just watching the content because it was free and accessible on youtube assumes that someone who isn't a diehard fan won't just go "oh well" and find something else on youtube that IS still free? that seems like a miscalculation to me. the massive fanbases online content creators have may literally be only possible because the content is available to anyone-- it seems foolish to assume that every single one of those fans is going to stick around once you try to upsell them.

i hope this new venture goes well for the watcher crew. I really do. but i also know that a lot of brands and startups that bank on the loyalty they earned when their product was free or low cost and expect that to sustain them while they try to do something that historically has not gone well for the vast majority of businesses. at best, they'll have halved their fanbase by alienating those who can't or don't want to pay and made it much more difficult for remaining fans to create fandom products like memes or gifs that promote their shows on social media. at worst, they'll discover in the near future the independent streaming service model is unsustainable with only the fans they have left and by that point they'll have already deleted themselves from youtube and made it impossible to come back to the level of success they had before. any attempt to return to youtube will be an admission of a critical miscalculation and i doubt many remaining fans will tolerate the back and forth. they'll have crippled their credibility, relevancy, and fanbase loyalty over a very short period of time-- and i don't know if it would even be possible to come back and still be beloved after all that.

worst of all-- if the watcher streaming service crashes and burns after they've already removed all their content from youtube, all the watcher shows are essentially going to become lost media, only accessible via reuploaders willing to risk a copy strike or if you know someone who has a copy downloaded. given how genuinely good the watcher content is in the sea of lackluster youtube mush, that really seems like a damn shame.

i hope the watcher team sees how everyone is responding and decides to course correct before it's too late and get away with only the hit to their reputation that they've already taken by announcing this, instead of pushing forward on a path that might lose them everything instead. nothing i've said here is with any hate intended toward anyone involved or those who are excited about the new service, but this just seems like a really ill-advised decision to me.

It's very interesting to me how much power parents have over their children. Yeah, some level of guardianship is valuable, and a certain level is necessary, but... There's a point where it gets really dangerous.

Parents have control of food, shelter, healthcare, education etc. Anything considered necessary is determined to fall into the jurisdiction of the parent. It's so important to the child that they cannot be trusted to make good decisions.

How does that sound? Not great, right? Yeah? Maybe I'm biased because of who my parents were, but that doesn't sound like a good idea to me. If a child's parents are, for lack of a better word, awful, this goes bad very quickly.

Let's say a parent cares very much about grades? What if they force a child into isolation for not meeting expectations? How is that in the best interest of the child?

How bout a step further, let's say a teenager winds up pregnant. They might wind up homeless or worse at sixteen because their parents decided that they no longer deserved to live under their roof.

Let's say a child realizes that they are trans, and upon talking to their parents, find out that the parents consider it a mental illness. Even if they could have gotten assistance in transitioning, or even just staving off puberty, their parents won't do anything to help. Now the child could live in fear of losing those necessities if they step out of line at all.

None of those are even getting into violence. None of those get close to the true horrific extent of what parents are allowed to do. Starvation, violence; a parent has more power to commit harm than anyone else in a person's life.

And what makes it worse, is that parents decide what normal is. A child could be treated worse than dirt for their entire life. But they can have so little of a reference for any of it that they think it's normal. Healthy even.

I have no idea how this could be solved. There must be a line drawn somewhere I suppose. But this isn't where it should be. 18 is not some magic number. Yes, maturity is important for making important decisions. I'm just saying that requiring a parent's approval for seeing a therapist maybe isn't the smartest.

been thinking a lot abt fwb!gojo today.... this is his first time ever doing this kind of a thing btw. i do not think he sleeps around AT ALL. but with you, he just... you start off as very good friends but then it keeps escalating – you start sitting closer and closer, your thighs always touching as you lounge on the couch. his hands seem to always find your waist in public, your seem to be in his hair more and more. and the thing is... satoru isn't all that good at deciphering his own feelings. he isn't entirely sure what this is; the butterflies in his stomach whenever you laugh at his jokes, the warmth that spreads under his skin whenever he sees you bend over. it's weird. he doesn't know what to do.

so, when one night you inch closer with your hand on his thigh, he lets you. he welcomes you with open arms. you ask whether it's okay or not and he lets out a shaky yes, his cheeks burning with something new, his eyes low and heavy as he stares at your lips. you feel so good on top of him, your body flushes to his and he thinks about how perfect this is. how much he likes it. the night is like a wet dream for him, something he's always dreamed off but when you leave the bed and hop into the shower without giving him a kiss, he doesn't even know what the weight on his heart means. where it comes from. he doesn't ponder over it for too long though as you step outside the bathroom in a shirt way too big, his shirt. he watches you get dressed and hums when you joke about his bed hair. he thinks you look gorgeous. he doesn't ask for you to stay – if this is what you want, to leave without the desire to continue your adventures from the last night, then so be it. satoru wants you to be happy. you tell him it was good and that you'd like to, perhaps, do it again and he can taste you on his tongue when he says that he feels the same. satoru will take every crumb you'll give him with a smile on his face. he won't complain and he won't ask for more, not yet at least. for now, he'll be completely and utterly at your mercy, a lapdog for you to play with whenever you so desire to do. a selfless kind of love.

was possessed by the need to draw something related to @jellynut's bill still au it's such a cool au and I'm not normal whenever he posts art of it

also did kind of a comic:

[alicent-archive]

Aegon being happy to see his brother fly towards him.

Aegon being happy because FINALLY they can do this together and fight for a common cause for ONCE in their lives.

Aegon seeing Vhagar and smiling, unaware that this will be the last time his face forms such an expression.

Aegon seeing his brother and then feeling confusion and then shock and then pain, before feeling scorched and weightless.
