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 😬

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

"You belong to me."
"Those who die on the battlefield are not royalty, nobility, or commoners. They are the defeated, who die."
"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."
"Do I need to give you a reason each time I risk my life for your sake?"
"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."
"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."
Among thousands of comrades and ten thousand enemies, only you... only you made me forget everything that I wanted.
"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...
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 !
