i like to think harry suffers periods of madness when his wife isn’t around him for too long

Thinking about art pieces of mothers holding their dead/dying children.

In order from left-top: Woman with Dead Child and Pietà(Mother with her Dead Son) — Käthe Kollwitz // Pietà-Michelangelo // The Family of Street Acrobats; The Injured Child(1874)- Gustave Doré

i just can’t get past one thing about The KFC Breakup Scene and that is gojo’s face. a man so widely known for being calm, silly, and carefree almost to a fault, his expression barely budging even in the heated frenzy of battle, a portrait of collectedness that comes naturally with being the strongest jujutsu sorcerer. his face, now screwed into a look of anger bordering on hysterical, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets and his pupils the size of grains of rice, unable to comprehend the idea of the love of his life his one and only best friend doing something so terribly horrendously unlike him, that he barely knows what to do with himself other than yell and shout and hope something he says gets through to the man he wants so desperately to save. the world’s strongest jujutsu sorcerer, reduced to a screaming, bumbling boy in the face of his closest relationship crumbling in front of him in real time. the sheer amount of pain and hurt and betrayal and heartbreak laced in the blue of his irises speaks louder than any of his desperate attempts to convince geto he’s doing the wrong thing ever could. the wrinkle in his brows pitifully juxtaposed against geto’s expression of indifference — almost peace — in his newfound decision. i can’t imagine that many have had the opportunity to come face to face with such a state of desperate rage and panic from gojo as geto in this moment — and i can’t imagine gojo would have it any other way. this side of himself, this aching, desperate side, is something reserved for geto. the way he gets into killing position with such a clumsy hastiness only further reflects how much geto has undone him. his body language coupled with such a painfully singular expression succeeds in demonstrating to the audience that, yes, jujutsu sorcery and the good of mankind are among the most important things to gojo satoru, and yes, geto suguru is very nearly capable of superseding those things.

babygirl you are strange and off putting

Ok. As a fellow who is relatively new here, how are y'all pronouncing their names?

spartacus seasons 2-4 was where all the cool story stuff happened but s1 had something they dont have and never could have had. and it's andy whitman my best friend andy rip king you were the only one who could possibly infuse that character with such mystic sadness. like a pilgrim or some kind of warrior monk. mcintyre doesnt do a bad job at all but his spart is just. like a sort of headstrong fighter. andy's spart was a paladin. i dont know how he did it but he gave this performance that was wildly elevated for the kind of show he was in. his spartacus came off like he really was a man of ordinary, melancholic emotions born into a classical tragedy and forced to live with it, balancing on the knife's edge between myth and humanity. mcintyre's version is an action hero with depth. andy's is a new senecan tragedy

nyssara has beloved and habibti, cc has crook and assassin, what does ava/ance have? even their terms of endearmeant game is weak af. i have to laugh

new favorite headcanon is roy and jade telling each other things but in their first language because they know the other can’t understand. they use a language barrier to their advantage and make jokes or confess things (love) that they’re not ready for the other to know just yet.

You know, I think my thing about liking “asshole Megatron” more than “good Megatron” (speaking in terms of IDW1) isn’t just the fact that I find evil Megatron more entertaining and sexy, but that I suppose I don’t like the way good guy/Autobot Megatron’s personality is?

Like mmmm I’m not trying to be one of those people who goes “he’s OOC!” or “he’s such a wimp!” or “he’s evil and doesn’t deserve to be redeemed,” but there was just something slightly grating about the way Megatron is/acts in MTMTE/LL. If I had to pick a word for it, he just seems very... self-pitying? Ratchet said it perfectly while the DJD were attacking and he told Megatron “Oh of course it’s all about you, what a surprise.”

There’s something about Autobot Megatron that makes me hate him as a person, not like in a “haha what a pathetic bastard” way the way I see villain Megatron, but in a way that’s like “god you are so fucking stuck up and annoying” in a non-enjoyable way. Maybe it’s because Autobot Megatron was a last minute plot change and I’m sensing how JRO “forced” Megatron to be part of the narrative last minute? But that would just be a matter of shoddy writing, and MTMTE/LL aren’t shoddily written.

It’s presumptuous to try and assume the motivation of an author, but I guess it kind of feels like JRO was trying so hard to make Megatron a better person that it backfired and made him more unlikeable in my eyes. Like, Megatron’s dialogue about how if he goes back towards violence he’ll never come back out again because the guilt will be too much is poetic yeah, it’s a very cute notion, but the context is that the fucking DJD (who Megatron made) is attacking and killing members of the Lost Light (who Megatron is in charge of) and was it supposed to make me think of Megatron as noble or pitiable or something? Because instead it just pissed me off and made me want to scream “this isn’t fucking about you Megatron, stop being an angsty mope and DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR ONCE instead of crying about how hard it is for you to not enjoy killing people.”

It’s fucking weird because I of course love the concept of redeemable Megatron, and I’m fascinated with the way in which he adopted violence as a coping mechanism for trauma, but the way he’s written in MTMTE/LL just makes him seem more like he’s a self-justifying asshole trying to make pitiable attempts at good deeds than like he’s actually improving as a person. Which of course is a problem caused by the fact that JRO shoved him into the plot last minute and it didn’t actually make sense for Megatron to be on the Lost Light.

me at 8:00: yeah guys i can’t come out tonight. yeah got another insomnia flare-up, really need an early night. have fun tho!

me at 1am: how are we, as a society ever going to destigmatise disability if we won’t even let ourselves say the goddamned word. maybe the reason you think disability is an offensive term is because disability itself offends you. and of course it does, because it is offensive. The notion that a disabled person did nothing to deserve their disability and cannot achieve success the same way you can because of it offends the idea that you are successful because of your vitues, not your luck. It offends the pride you have in uour work, your success, your wealth and whether you truly earnt it. Disability is offensive only because the innate humanity of a disabled person offends the very propaganda our extractive capitalist society relies on to—

ocean vuong: on earth we’re briefly gorgeous

just as well - i don't trust people who are all positive vibes and enlightened memes and posting "compassionate reminders" and speak a little too eloquently on boundaries and will warn you about someone's vibes after spending like 3 hours with them. i don't fucking trust you. you're not being authentic. no one can be positive and compassionate all the time and pretending you can is a trauma response and coping mechanism but that doesn't mean it isn't inauthentic. don't trust you

for so long ive put off writing fics that were solely abt non english speaking cc's bc it doesnt feel right to have them Only speaking in english, but at the same time i know google translate is clumsy at best esp for slang and such😔 but i'm biting the bullet bc there are stories i really want to tell w these characters
