still wishing the blackfyre rebellion had succeeded can you imagine how funny it would be. so westeros used to be ruled by targaryens but they were so lame they got overthrown by their illegitimate cousins. platinum blondes overthrowing platinum blondes it's a revolution literally nothing changes except the ruling family's name. oh and no dragons still

i think i find comfort in vashwood because of their unwillingness to say outloud how they care and love for one another. like CANONLY, theres so, so much they dont say, yet their actions reflect everything.
i’m pretty sure i’ve spoke on this before but i like to think that they never say more than they need to because of the world they live in, the type of people they are, the type of upbringings theyve had. it all stems back to them not really feeling worthy of the love they are offered.
wolfwood who only thinks of himself as some fucked up modified killing machine and that he believes theres no chance someone as kind hearted as vash would see the good in him, or what little there is left of the good in him. he’s done nothing but kill, he could never redeem himself, and yet vash isn’t scared nor shuns him for it even with his pacifistic ideals.
Tumblr media
vash who has seen the brutal truth of wolfwood’s being and still decides he loves him to the very end.
vash who doesnt believe he deserves any ounce of love or commitment because he only hurts those he gets close to. it’s happened before and itll happen again, like hes a walking time bomb and everything will blow up again and the people close to him will die no matter what he does. and wolfwood who canonly sticks beside him until the end! literally calls himself his guide.
vash who has never had true companionship in his 150 years of living, and wolfwood who follows him to the ends of gunsmoke.
just up until vol10, theyre still toeing the line of the relationship theyve created. but the exact moment vash shows up and chooses to prioritize wolfwood over going after knives (the fucking thing he’s been working towards since the big fall, over a hundred years ago) is the moment he steps past that line. its so extremely open and explicit, even wolfwood asks him ‘why are you here?”
Tumblr media
while what he says here is true yes, it also sounds like “you cannot die, i’m here to ‘save’ you because i want to live.”
Tumblr media
then to this when wolfwood knows and accepts he will die— the sheer HORROR on vash’s face when he realizes wolfwood wont allow him to save him.
Tumblr media
few pages ahead, vash’s monologue starts and these old panels come up. “deep down, he had become very close to me.” basically implying that back then, during the ‘shoot’ moment, they weren’t really close. and when vash accused him: “you’re the coward here.”, “you give up all hope so easily”, it was almost surface level in a way? talking to him at surface level
but now, so many chapters later when wolfwood really does give up hope, vash, with all of his developed love through out the story realizes how differently he feels now. wolfwood made him put a fucking gun to his head (giving up hope), and vash who only scolded and accused him, vs vol10 where when wolfwood gives up hope, vash feels straight terror, that he’s really going to lose him. (also the inverted panel is just so gorgeous.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the whole “isnt that right, wolfwood?” just proves my entire point that vash’s presence here in this fight steps over the line of vulnerability they had created. he knows how he feels, and he knows that wolfwood feels the same, even if hes speaking to him indirectly.

I saw a tiktok about Jon and Theon and it made me remember how fuking insane their dynamic is
They're broken mirrors of each other: both of them just want the starks to see them as family, they want to feel wanted, they envy and hate each other.
Theon is a trueborn son of a great house, an heir even, but at the same time he's treated as a squire and a ward when convenient, (he helps Ned and Robb), he's also seen as a hostage and a threat, never quite trustworthy. He says repeatedly that he never felt wellcome by the Starks and that the only one to have any affection for him was Robb. Theon dreams to be wed to Sansa, not because he loves her, but because them he would be a son for Ned. He envies Jon because even being a bastard he's loved by Ned (ln a way neither Ned or his actual father loved him), his sibilings (all of them) love him, even if Lady Stark doesn't like him, he is family in Theon's eyes.
Jon is a bastard, he's a shame that must remain hidden, it doesn't matter how much Ned or his sibilings love him, he will never be a true Stark in the eyes of westerosi society. He is trusted but his loyality is always at question, Jon is a threat to Robb's claim in many peoples eyes, like he wants his brothers birthright, and the worst of it all is: he does. He desperately wants to be a trueborn son, but he loves Robb deeply, more than he could ever wish to be legitimate. He envies Theon because he is a trueborn son, he is an heir, he will get to have a wife and children of his own, legitimate children that won't be called names.
Truely insane dynamic of hatred and envy that culminates with both of them trying to one up each other on everything.

FATWS!Bucky confessing to one of his fears regarding an actual relationship with Agent!Reader -
Bucky: I’m not going to age the same as you are.
Reader: What are you talking about?

Everytime someone says bring back Nate, I shiver with dread.
And for someone who's a really big fan of Nate, I really would hate having to see him come back to Redemption. I saw on a Facebook group I'm in where someone asked how Nate would react to the Jackal Job, and I remember thinking that Nate, the Catholic man, would either not be a supporter or simply not be able to empathize or participate in the con without prejudice.
Look, OG Leverage has a place in my heart for a reason, but I cannot justify bringing back Nate at all. Nate's story could never fit into Redemption for a variety of reasons.
OG Leverage took the experiences Nate had and made a point in every episode why the man does what he does.
OG Leverage was about revenge first and foremost, then doing the right thing after, then building something more.
You know the reason why the stories never mentioned the disabled, the LGBTQ+, or the plain old voiceless of immigrant communities (this one was touched on but not really)?
It's because it wasn't Nate's story to tell. The original message was, if you are in a position where you have been wronged, then you should have the power to make it right. You deserve a second chance. That's why he always dealt with the scammers, the rich white men, the corporate greed, etc. He always tried to give people a second chance from a dumb or honest mistake, or to right someone's wrong.
That's why the Black Book was so important by the end of OG Leverage. It closed Nate's story with the idea that what has been wronged will be righted even if it meant taking a less than legal approach by others who are willing to bring justice to light.
Redemption is not that story. I mean it is, but it isn't. Redemption is the story where those less fortunate, those who are inherently going to lose no matter what they do, get a voice. They deserve a say in how they are treated, and they, as much as the impoverish and the naive, can have the power given back to them.
It's shown with victims like the elderly, the disabled, the people of color, the young who don't quite fit the social norm, and the LGBTQ+ community.
Through Harry Wilson, Redemption also shows us that those with power, need to take responsibility for their actions.  It is not enough to fight those in power, but that people like Harry - who do have power, are vitally needed to change the system.
Redemption does not need to see Nate to accomplish this story, but the fact remains that the message Nate started is still here, if not more refined and nuanced than ever before.
Nate should not come back to Redemption because his story was told in OG, and now, a new story can begin where the crew can be expanded and fight for what's right as well as give every victim of an injustice, an opportunity to tell their story as well.

i have a bone to pick with miguel fic writers who pair him up with super young women with a huge age gap??? that is completely out of character???
that man is a devoted single parent to a daughter that otherwise would have been orphaned??? he adopts gwen when she's homeless despite having an EXTREME conflict of interest??? he gives margo a safe place to call her own in the society bc of her troubled home life??? why would you make him a weird creepy predator when that's not who he is in the movie at all??? that man is a protector through and through!!!
if we're talking about atsv dilf miguel, he would never even glance at a woman under 27, maybe even 30 and you can’t convince me otherwise. i understand the appeal of him being an older man, i really do. but please, enough with the barely legal, college-aged pairings.

the reason i love roy so much is bc i genuinely can't think of another character like him. he is a man who is so deeply ingrained in a culture of masculinity and anger but all his closest relationships are women. he's been praised like a god for years but he's deeply insecure. he wants attention and praise more than anything else from anyone. he's clingy but scared of being clingy. his best friend is the same man he hated two years prior. he plays princess and dragon with his niece and he's the princess. he hangs out with drag queens and women in their 60's. in a tough situation he knows when someone needs to be hugged instead of defended. he's just some guy. he's a professional footballer. i love him.

Okay, so my theory is that Acau was supposed to arrive the same day everyone else did. Hence why we saw "Train 3 arriving soon." but it got delayed along the way. Now, it's Quackity's job to make sure Acau gets welcomed properly and say how perfect the island is because the last few times a new person joined the island they were immediately told how awful can be.

I am doing a run where I am changing everyone's classes to the most opposite class I can think of and BOI is it uncomfortable! this is what I have so far:
Astarion: Paladin Gale: Barbarian Wyll: Cleric Karlach: Rogue
I am still trying to decide for Shadowheart and Lae'zel
but my current team is with the three bois and I am just loosing my mind
-We accidentally broke Astarion's oath in like 5 minutes and he sounded so SAD "something is wrong. I feel like I've...lost..something" I have never reloaded so fast in my life. He must continue on this path and I must hear more about his fascination with being the one who does healing every now and then, and him finding it as a novel thing/concept (but we did check out the oath breaker thing and its likely a glitch but his eyes were a light feint blue during that cutscene- talking to the oathbreaker- I was choking on air)
-Then there is GALE with him trying to rawr and be scary but its just not translating very well lol
-Wyll is just chillin lol when he heals he is YELLIN some of those spells lol

‼️Ninjago Dragon's Risings Season 2 Spoilers‼️
Why have I seen no one really talk about Geo saying Cole was the real chef of the place?
By the Ninja he's said to have terrible cooking skills. As the only thing I can remember is them in season 1 talking about how Cole chili somehow sealed thir mouths shut. I am aware season one was obviously a long time ago, but this is the only thing I can remember off the my head.
Plus, every single headcanon I see people make that involve Cole cooking is that he's really bad at it. So it's just doesn't make total sense to me that on how Cole is the "real chef".
Because Geo, would have to be so, terribly, bad at cooking to where Cole was seen as a good cook, or Cole had to improve throughout the years.

rereading homestuck again and i cant stop thinking about this
Tumblr media
this is such an early conversation too, like. what did he mean by this, genuinely? when dave typed these words how did he mean for them to be interpreted by rose?? a joke? or was he sincerely saying "i love my best friend" to ROSE of all people? but rose doesnt make anything of it, just says "i know" doesnt make any jokes about him being gay like she loved to do back then. just says "i know"
maybe it says more about his relationship with rose, though. we later see, in a flashback, that he recounts a genuinely disturbing dream he had to her, like, to feel better? like, they are friends who care about each other. he feels like he can confide in her!
when rose says "i know" what does SHE mean? does it mean that dave has already confessed to her that he loves john? does she just mean she knows because she picked up on it? are they both on the same page in terms of if dave means he loves him platonically or romantically?

The ONE
Anybody remember that jet li movie the one, where when one version of you dies the power gets evened out among the others? -kinda like a reverse highlander
Danny as the ghost king finds himself constantly getting stronger as alternate versions of himself continue to die in their timeline's... this would be a negligent amount to danny on its own as a human but being the ghost king also means he absorbs their memories and feelings too and that acts as an amplifier for ghosts.
Cue danny meeting a version of Damien Al ghul who was forced to kill his twin to please ra's. Perhaps he stumbles into the infinite realms with the bat family or the Al Ghuls, coming face to face with his dead brother who looks at him with what appears to be annoyance or anger and breaks down begging for forgiveness...
(Danny's just irritated he's gonna have to spackle over the hole they created getting into the ghost zone, then he has to sort through memories to figure out which version of him died and how. When he remembers he's gonna just hug Damien and then go disembowel ra's as payback)

I am currently thinking about how House regularly uses himself as a scapegoat so he can help other people. Like with Foreman and his brother, House purposefully brought up their mother because he knew that it would spark outrage. He knew they would be mad at him. He wanted them to be mad at him so they could reconcile. House is so used to upsetting people. He's so used to being yelled at, hit, and insulted. He regularly seeks out those responses, so doing something that causes people to treat him that way is easy. He has created this persona that doesn't care about anything and will do anything to upset people without provocation or reason.
If he didn't care about Foreman enough to want to help him reconcile with his brother, I do not believe he would have ever brought up their mother. He understood how personal that was, and there would have been no reason. I don't think House likes having people hate him, I don't think he likes being yelled at or upsetting people. I think he just doesn't know how to be any other way. Hurting people, at his own expense, comes naturally. He will play the bad guy over and over again to help the people he cares about. But because he puts himself in that position to be their scapegoat, people don't recognize what he's doing. He's being kind, in his own fucked up way. And I don't think anyone except for Wilson and sometimes Cuddy recognize it.

I think that Crowley used to be a fighter.
I think he fought as hard as he could before his fall to try and change the plan so that the universe would have more time.
I think he fought till the very moment he fell for what he thought was right.
I think he once fought as hard as we see Aziraphale fight time after time.
I think Crowley fought as hard as he could until he realised that he had lost everything. That maybe fighting was doing nothing except for ruining his life.
But I think Aziraphale gave him a reason to fight because it meant he didn’t have to fight alone.
And when Aziraphale’s gone or leaving that’s when he starts to run.
He runs because there’s no point fighting if he has to fight alone. Because if he’s alone there’s not really anything to fight for

"Stanley understands memes/pop culture and Narrator doesn't"
YOU FOOLS. Narrator canonically has internet access. Stanley was created by him and I don't see why Narrator would put meme knowledge in his brain or have wifi in the office as it's of no importance to the Story. If there's someone who'd know what Goncharov or kawaii culture are, it's Narrator.
