Me:

Wow, I want a romance like my favorite characters!

Also me when a relationship is ambiguous:

Hey! Do you like me platonically or romantically? I’m good either way, I have a minor crush so I just want to know so I can reframe you in my mind accordingly :)

i honestly don't understand how anyone thinks the stark sisters hate each other or were evil to each other or whatever. like they're literally just normal siblings being nine and eleven and therefore threats to themselves and others, but its asoiaf so the stakes are unnecessarily high

hey, hey. I don't know who needs to hear this, but--if you are a webcomic creator working with a publisher that tells you things like "your series is under preforming" as a reason why they can't meet certain, very basic requests you make, and leverages this vague statement against you as a way to position and request more from you--know that it is probably, definately, part of a script they use for every. single. creator. they work with.

If you are working hard, producing good work, meeting those deadlines, and communicating as well as you are able with the publisher, etc, you are a rockstar. Your series performance isn't YOUR job. It's their job to promote it and get those sales and numbers for you.

Don't let these companies get under your skin. They know you're working on something you are passionate about. They are banking on the assumption that you are trying to prove your own worth to yourself. They will say some extremely devaluing shit to you in their effort to squeeze as much out of you as possible.

When push comes to shove, if they can not provide what you need, then what you need is to walk away. You've got incredible skill and an incredible work ethic. If you didn't, they'd have never approached you in the first place. Know when a publisher is trying to tear you down for their own gain and leave 'em in the dirt. A publisher shouldn't be using language to make you feel like a disappointment. Nothing you've done for them is disappointing. They're not paying you enough.

I won’t say that Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian have the the most normal sibling relationship because there is literally nothing “normal” about these two codependent weirdos (affectionate) but out of all the siblings I would say they probably have the most typical and perhaps easily recognizable sibling dynamic. Like the Lan and Nie siblings are obviously very close but there’s an element of parentification and also just the age gap that affects that dynamic (and the same goes for Jiang Yanli and her brothers). But with Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian it’s just like - “I’m going to tease you mercilessly but if someone else is mean to you I’ll kill them” and “I won’t share my soup with you but I would give you my kidney” (Or golden core as may be the case). And it’s just like yeah they’re brothers all right.

hey we put your boyfriend in the book. yeah he’s in there with the other stories. my son’s in there too btw. they’re dancing with nat king cole. if you want i can take him out as a beam of light for a few seconds, but sorry yeah he’s in there now.

The most recent session of Secret Life is so fascinating to me, because there's so much emphasis on this idea of heroes and villains in a series that's so full of murder. Like, everyone's doing it! What makes one person a villain for doing it and another a hero? Is it the cycle of violence, that the person in the wrong is whoever committed the crime first? Is murder excused when it's done for the sake of a task? Or for the sake of an ally rather than for yourself?

Scar: "So I'm just the villain of the red lives, the people who can kill me, the people who I was trying to kiss up to with the creeper farm. This is... secret keepers, why do you have it out for me?"

Gem: "All right, wow! I thought I'd have a lot more enemies, but actually I seem to be a bit of a hero on the server! Everyone likes me! Everyone has good things to say!"

Bdubs: "Want me to kill Scar? Okay, great, wonderful, that's going to be my mission for today! I'm going to be the hero of the server today!"

Gem and Scar both had tasks that involved hurting others on the server. So what's the difference? Everyone excuses Gem because it was just her task, but Scar's villainy was a task too. Do the others know that? Do they care? If Bdubs killed Scar, the narrative goes that he would be the hero of the server defeating the great evil villain. Task successful, I suppose.

i gotta say my favorite thing about the solstice one shot was for sure caduceus’ petty little shit energy. this is a man who’s been the primary healer of his family and friend group for eight years. the catty little “oh, i didn’t volunteer, but you’ve just done that, okay, sure,” when jester roped him into helping her with the hero’s feast. the long suffering way he just gathered his shit and peaced out of the grove when beau and caleb showed up. he’s got ten whole intelligence points now and he’s using all of them to impress reality upon (read: scare the shit out of) luc brenatto. living up to his responsibility as the middle child of the clays

Jason: *just vibing, thinking his thoughts*

Bruce: What?

Jason: What do you mean what?

Bruce: You were smiling

Jason: Am I not allowed to be happy?

Bruce: You are, but that was just, like, an evil smile

Jason: *offended, turning to Dick* Bruce thinks I have an evil smile

Bruce: I don't think you have an evil smile, just that particular smile looked evil

Aether explaining to rain what he needs to do after his POTS diagnosis

Aether: “So just be careful not to stand up or bend over too suddenly, and make sure you eat plenty of salt, you need to keep your electrolytes up.“

Rain: “Does that include salty snacks?”

Aether, confused: “well yeah I guess so”

Rain, starting to vibrate on the spot: “Does that mean you’re prescribing me potato chips?”

Aether, furrowing his brow: “not exactly, but..”

Rain: “Thanks Aeth!”

Merlin: I love everything about you <3 Arthur: even my family? Merlin: let's not open that door

< Last / Next >

forever: i need to ask you for a favor and i need you to be nice with me

baghera: hm. i’ll think about it

they’re literally siblings oh my god

first of all, hopping onto the Linkin park train that Numb by Linkin Park is definitely a MK song SECOND OF ALL The fucking. Werewolf narratives wifh MK it’s the REPRESSIONS THE FEAR OUHJ THE HORROR THE HORROR

LOOK. LOOK. LISTEN.

MK WORKS AS A WEREWOLF CHARACTER. HE DOES. HE'S JUST A LITTLE TO THE LEFT

Like you're right, the repression? Not wanting to hurt those close to you? Wondering what you are? Wondering if you're destined to cause pain and suffering? Giving in and fighting back? Like you understand me more than most. You get it. Look me in my eyes and tell me it's not there:

Truly here's where I come in with my hot take: werewolves are fate vs freewill/identity themes the monster. You know. "Of one thing I am certain—fate has plans for you! Great plans, or foul? Time will tell." "I can't be, I'm just MK!" COME ON. COME ON

Talking to Minthara after the second Elminster encounter was oddly touching. She really told Gale he's already impressive on his own and doesn't need to lose sleep over Mystra's approval. The sincere "You are Gale of Waterdeep" really got me.
