#all it cost was your humanity

going through the drafts is such a minefield because i have a pre-scandal stockpile from the long hiatus and it really wasn’t so long ago that we all were able to buy into biu’s vibrant bright future. i’m grateful to the people who are sticking with him and have been pro-biu since day one because without y’all, this shit would have been even more difficult than the soul-sucking shitshow it is now.

i have ideas in my fucked up little mind. jonathan sims is afraid of everything about himself that's monstrous and jonah magnus is afraid of everything about himself that's human.

Out of all of mxtx’s current protagonists, Xie Lian is definitely the scariest. He’s the only one to have his sense of morality and self successfully broken but then was able to come back from it, but also, at their lowest, Wei Wuxian attacked his would-be murderers and Shen Qingqiu sacrificed himself at every turn. Xie Lian? Tried to do a genocide run before changing his mind at the 11th (and a half) hour 😬

no series has ever managed to fill me with a sense of pity and tragedy more than the series finale of Trollhunters.

Fnaf au where William figures out how to actually resurrect cc and then the aftons just have to live with that— not only is cc undead now but dad is freaking victor Frankenstein !! (like, literally, I imagine William discovered how to harvest remnant from recently deceased corpses rather then killing anyone himself, thus the mci doesn’t happen and Charlie doesn’t die either)
They just have to pretend this is normal and fine
#I imagine it’s especially awful for cc and Micheal I mean#think about how odd that is for cc#most of him are the original parts but many internal organs had to be replaced#the parts that become unusable quicker..#he looks the same on the outside but he knows the difference. he knows something is very different#furthermore he wouldn’t age normally#if he ever wanted to look older he’d have to add new parts.. new bones and skin#and I imagine that’s a disturbing prospect for him so he’d avoid it at all cost#trapped in an unageing body for presumably eternity#and then theirs Micheal#while the whole family grieved Michael’s grief was in tandem with guilt#he killed his brother- it’s his fault this happened#but then he just.. came back.. as if it didn’t happen? how is Micheal supposed to be ok with that#how can you ever reverse the death of someone in your mind when you’ve already lived the grief?#I wonder how this would effect Williams relationship with his family#Clara I’m sure would be upset with him for not telling her#like he was digging up corpses and experimenting with forces beyond human comprehension#and he didn’t think for even a second “maybe I should tell my wife??”#she’s worried she’s not getting the full story- that’s it’s worse then he’s telling her#and I think Williams relationship with his kids would change too#Elizabeth could go either way but maybe she’d side with him#she in her naivety would believe that it’s a good thing#cc is alive! isn’t that what matters? didn’t you miss him? aren’t you happy he’s back?#I’m gonna cap this here#I’ve been going on too long

doctors need to do part of their residency at Starbucks or something they should not graduate before being tested in customer facing services roles ok I don’t need my doctor to have empathy for the human condition or whatever but I damn well need them to be able to fake it

Does anyone else feel like the incinerator gun chair room from Zero Time Dilemma would have better fit C Team instead of D Team
#elaboration in the tags#zero time dilemma#zero escape#ztd#I think of this every time I watch a playthrough and get to that room#carlos ztd#akane kurashiki#junpei tenmyouji#c team#like just about any combination fits with the potential character growth both Akane and Junpei would have from it#I understand the main character is Carlos so if we were to keep it as him making the decision then I would have Akane in the incinerator#and Junpei in the chair#but if we’re going to throw ‘main character chooses’ then you could truly have either Akane or Junpei at the gun with Carlos in the chair#I say all this cuz there’s the obvious Akane incinerator parallels and I imagine it could trigger a breakdown for her#if Junpei is behind the gun would she beg Junpei to shoot Carlos to save her?#would Junpei see that Akane sees other players as pawns to save her own life? and if she doesn’t beg does it help Junpei#see the humanity in her? where he previously thought she was uncaring but here she clearly is to save Carlos at the cost of her own life#but my fave configuration is Junpei in the incinerator and Akane at the gun#it helps them see from each other’s point of view. how scared would Junpei be being in the incinerator and there’s nothing he can do#but rely on someone else? Junpei in characterized as pretty selfish in ZTD so this experience could have him empathize with Akane’s#‘selfishness’ in the previous games. realizing you’d do it too if your life was on the line#and Akane can see just how difficult it is being the one to directly have a hand in how people die or at least see their bodies.#and is it worth it to just save one person?#yes Akane’s games have a way for everyone to survive and win at the end. but in the moment the players don’t know that.#I think that configuration would do SO much for akane and Junpei to better empathize with one another during ZTD#this could’ve been a whole post but I wasn’t confident enough in my coherence to properly format it. so tags you get

christ almighty some people are sad fucking miseries huh
#red said#all art that is rewarded by capitalism must be actively preventing you resisting Hegemonic power abloobloobloobloo#fuck me get over yourself#is art a powerful tool for propaganda subject to corporate capture? yes#is art necessary to be human? also yes#all art carries the weight of the society it exists in. and yes revolutionary art is either buried or defanged by the power it protests#so no you're unlikely to see like. Art That Smashes The System on a large scale. the revolution will not be televised.#art is not going to change the world but art can change you. and you change the world be existing in it.#and you are changed and resonated with in ways that are many and unpredictable bc people resonate differently with different things#capitalism isn't. a conspiracy. it's an ideology and system of power.#it's human. and can we be real if there's one thing I'm learning from this EEAAO thing it's that people are really blind#to messages that fully don't land with them#capitalism isn't some infallible godking who foils your every move. art that moves you can still move you#the criticism that art which is lauded by the authorities cannot be truly anti-capitalist art is one thing#to extend that to say art which is lauded by the authorities cannot be positively meaningful AT ALL and can only be counterrevolutionary#is HOG FUCKING WILD like. first off. think about any work of art you can name from the last 1000 years.#guess what. probably a product of the patronage of power. political philosophy too. making art costs. gaining an audience costs.#we exist within a network of systems of power. even within underground and independent art scenes structures of power play in#nonetheless. we require art.#and art is not just for direct political confrontation. art is an act of connection and resonance.#never mind art that's inadequately revolutionary - art that's entirely capitalist is ALSO capable of positive political impact#because a) it acts on people. and politics. is a frame around people. the point of opposing unjust hierarchy is to achieve wellbeing#like. why are you doing politics if not for people? who is it for? for the abstract symbolism of moral purity?#and b) because art is a frame for building your sense of the world. And you bring your own stuff to that.#if you're radically inclined then reading idk les mis can leave you with the idea that revolution is futile.#or with the sense that there's deep vitality and importance to holding your ground against unjust power despite the knowledge of the odds#or with the sense that revolution is personal not political#or with the sense that the personal is metaphorical for the political and that our drive is to act against the law to protect each other#it depends what you bring to the text

"You belong to me."
Tumblr media
"Those who die on the battlefield are not royalty, nobility, or commoners. They are the defeated, who die."
Tumblr media
"I feel no responsibility to comrades who've lost lives under my command. Because they chose to fight in each battle.. Just as I chose this. But if there is something that... I can do for them. Something I can do for the dead... Then it is to win. I must keep winning to attain my dream. To realize my dream, I will perch on top of their corpses.. It is a blood-smeared dream, after all. I don't regret or feel guilty about it."
Tumblr media
"Do I need to give you a reason each time I risk my life for your sake?"
Tumblr media
"While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds, even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and die by their dreams. But long after they have been abandoned they still smolder deep in men's hearts. Some see nothing more than life and death. They are dead, for they have no dreams."
Tumblr media
"In this world, some people born are like keys that move the world and exist having no connection to the social hierarchy established by man."
"It is my perception, that a true friend never relies on another's dream. A person with the potential to be my true friend, must be able to find his reason for life without my help. And, he would have to put his heart and soul into protecting his dream. He would never hesitate to fight for his dream, even against me. For me, a true friend is one who stands equal on those terms."
Tumblr media
Among thousands of comrades and ten thousand enemies, only you... only you made me forget everything that I wanted.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I'd dream, that on nights of the full moon, I'd become a small child and find myself embraced with a nostalgic warmth... But... When I wake from the dream... All that remains is a vague sense of longing...
Tumblr media
And that, too, soon fades away - along with a single tear, like morning dew."

not reblogging cause this is that white girl that caused all that discourse around the sayhername hash tag, but I wanted to make a response. like obviously she ra and su are for kids but if you're gonna tackle heavy subjects like war and colonialism which all these shows do explicitly, it's a little jarring when the end result is...singing songs and open arms. Like atla had a lotta problems in regards to the narrative views of actions by victims of said colonialism (hama, jet, etc.) But at least in the end ozai was unquestionably the bad guy and treated as such. aang didn't kill him but he was in the end dethroned and imprisoned for his numerous war crimes (high key iroh should've been too, but that would've required an entire story rewrite). In su, the diamonds killed their own kind for eons and even planned to destroy earth. Blue Diamond had a human zoo and this was supposed to be seen as 'cute'. They were literally called Zoomans! Like no Steven himself shouldn't have shattered the diamonds cause no kid should have blood on their hands but idk why in the entire episode of Bismuth's introduction we were suppose to be scared of her and view her as incorrect when the Diamonds literally killed all of her comrades save for the crystal gems. like the diamonds were reformed and now use their powers for 'good' but whose to say that can't change.

this might ruffle some feathers but I’ve genuinely never found anything Taylor has said or done to be “cringey”…maybe it’s because I don’t have an ugly personality nor do I use shame to control others !

Papyrus got that autistic and transgender swag, with a dash of being a morally strong and good person. No wonder he's being infantalised, the cis allistics can't comprehend his greatness without trying to figure out how to make him make more sense to them so they figure he's some sort of manbaby /lh
