guys I had this realization the other day that Redwall works really well for reading aloud, and kinda half-remembered something about the author reading to kids? So I looked it up to see if I had made a connection.

And it turns out, yes, actually, because he read aloud to kids at a school for the blind. But all the books they gave him to read were depressing. So he wrote Redwall, a story about heroism and courage and making it through struggles, and filled it with so many sensory, visual details so he could give them something better and I just-- that's so wholesome-- help

#my theory is that all good childrens books are written with LOVE #and he clearly loved these kids #anyway I got kind of emotional at that #as someone who read Redwall as a kid and was inspired to be brave #also I left this in my drafts for a while oops #but yeah I have feelings #redwall #brian jacques #reading #scribe rambles

I LOVE HIM #guys u dont get it anytime i think abt him i start tearing up its so TRAGIC. being essentially pushed into the role of a knight for his kin #and pushed to kill briar valley's princess when he clearly doesnt want to. for the sake of a POTENTIAL to save the man who took him in. for #the sake of keeping his love happy and saving her father. to have a kid who you care so deeply for that u both give him up to a better futu #putting him to sleep for who knows how long so he can live in peace. even if it means you wont be in the picture. even if ur dead. SNIFFLES #im CRYIGN im MUSHY ABT IT. FUCKJIGN SUE ME #twst #twisted wonderland #twst silver #silver vanrouge #knight of dawn #ch 7 spoilers #book 7 spoilers #UUAGAAGAHHHHHHHHH #suntails #AND SILVER!!!! so resentful of what his og dad did. so guilt ridden of being his descendant. bearing the pain of a crime he didnt even comm #of leaving malleus with no parents. of killing the PRINCEiSS of his KINGDOM that hes been sworn to protect. the feeling of treason in his <#him trying desperately to push this away while completely paralyzed over the weight of his realization and crumbling to it.

A massive shoutout to the people on my timeline who never post Kelly or her child. You guys get it and understand that there’s nothing cute about shameless exploitation of a child. Far from cute, it’s absolutely disgusting.

#bless all of you lovely people #her shitstain of a mother doesn’t care but thank you anyway for not plastering that girl for so-called cute moments #nah cute is maybe a rare reference or a rare appearance of a driver’s kid being clearly loved #and doing their kid thing #it ain’t these blatant publicity grabs #max verstappen #when he loses these 2 from his life - it will be worth as much as a wdc

[MASTERPOST]

Eskel is like "I WILL read this book about... A wolf and all his friends? Dancing and being. happy... 🥺"

#the witcher netflix #geraskier lovechild #eskel #soft eskel #geraskier #(no jeskel I am sorry but honestly I can see it at times)#omegaverse #listen retrospectively Eskel will slap his face (repeatedly) because it is at times pretty obvious (but only if you know!!)#did Milek accidentally call Eskel 'daddy' a few times? ofc he did. (how should Eskel know that he didn't just mixed it up in excitement.)#'oh he clearly meant his omega father' WELL #Roach should have been an indicator! but it's either that that name is in one of jaskiers songs (probable) and jaskier is like #'oh yeah he likes that one bard song about the horse - I swear he loves horses'#(that isn't even a lie and it's very Jaskier to compose an ode for Roach)#or he just goes 'We heard stories about a witcher crossing our town-'#and now wolf themed kids book. it's-#oh well #a lot of things are obvious when you look back to them #and I think Eskel could have made the connection! if Jaskier still had a lute. he would have gone at least once '... geralts omega bard??'#(who Geralt didn't really talk about but who they always could still smell traces of on him - bad thing that scents change after pregnancy)#but no lute?? connection not made.#that's the one jaskier thing Eskel knows of. always has a lute.#and retrospectively he can see that Milek and Geralt really look alike - it's at this age more obvious than later - because that is the age #that Eskel remembers. In which he still has a mental picture of what Geralt looked like? but it's been SO LONG #over a century #and Eskel was a traumatized child too. Things are. Very muddy.#the only ones who have a chance to recognize Milek are Visenna and Vesemir and that's it.

Supernatural Seduction 101 with Helena Zhao, except she's the clueless student and the teacher is beyond late to class.

Previous / Next

Lilith (Pleasant): Hey, asshole! What makes you think it's cool to follow a girl ho-

[Helena engages in some casual hypnosis]

Lilith: God, where are my manners? I saw you at the bar earlier, didn't I?

Helena: [hesitantly] Y-yes?

Lilith: Yeah, I thought you looked really hot.

Helena: Y-you did?

Lilith: So are we going to make out now or what?

Helena: D-definitely. [thinking] Well, that was suspiciously easy.

-

Helena: Do you mind if I...

Lilith: Go ahead. I thought you'd never ask. You didn't tell me your name, stranger. I'm - oh, that feels good! - Lilith.

Helena: [concentration broken] What did you just say?

Lilith: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? GET OFF ME!

Helena: Just a little bit more. I'm so hungry.

Lilith: Please. Don't touch me. [sobbing] I have a kid!

Helena: [tenderly] ...A kid?

Lilith: His birthday's next week. He needs me!

Helena: I'm sorry. I didn't know. I wasn't going to take enough to kill you.

Lilith: Oh my god, you're that freak who's attacking people! It's all over the papers!

Helena: I'm not a freak.

Lilith: Well, then what are you? Why are you doing this?

Helena: I'm just trying to survive. I didn't ask to be this way. If you let me, I can make you forget this ever happened.

Lilith: I'm not letting you do shit!

Helena: Please! Don't tell anyone!

Random bat who definitely isn't a character we all know and love already: [whoosh]

#ts4 #sims 4 #ts4 story #sims 4 story #simblr #story: hzid #helena zhao #lilith pleasant #ok i am retiring this editing style again #lilith p in my save actually does have a kid #he has a mohawk so she's clearly raising him right #anyway love the concept of helena going feral at the mere utterance of lilith's name lmao #is it ptsd or is she turned on (or both)?#blood tw #violence tw

Ok. I have listened to the people. I have watched the thing. It is very wholesome.

Kazu comes home. He is hopeless and tipsy. And he swings between excited and wasted.

#I am SICK of Miri’s voice ngl #I know kids are loud. And make a mess of EVERYthing. That’s why i stay away.#But for Kazurei ; I made it to the end #They are precious #Rei is so cute I love this guy #He has 0 human skill and still is effortlessly hilarious and a little cutie 👏💖#i wish we had more of their relationship bc they have sth really special #They never question their trust in each other like it never crosses their mind. They disagree almost all the time but they never part #It’s more natural than breathing. They’re always saying stuff like « it’s not fit to involve other people in our way of life »#it’s not even an option to live apart. They clearly will spend all their lives together #Except that scene it’s so weird when Kazu says « hum with Miri gone we don’t have a reason to live together anymore » lol man #Not as if you guys were already joined at the hip before meeting her. But I get the «the family life changed us now sth’s missing #and it feels incomplete ». But still guys. You are soul mates.#Also the « of course he comes with me. He’s my partner. » line 💕💍#even if at some point they meant to part ways ; really they can’t be separated.#kazurei #No homo daddies #Buddy daddies #kazuki x rei #Domestic gays

Cobras seeing Lucille and Daniel through a window after walking out of Cobra Kai

#Daniel. LOOK #‘Johnny look it’s your crush!’#They’re like a pack of puppies #Dutch literally bouncing off the lamp post #tf #Love how he cozies up right against Johnny’s back and stays out of view. Boy was clingy even in the background #The flirty ‘oh you stop it’ hit Johnny give Tommy. The handshakes. How Tommy follows them in a different direction #than where he was going. The way Bobby is clearly still telling them off blurrily. Standing in the middle. They’re so close #The way they push each other before walking off. The way Johnny is still getting tugged around and pulled towards them.#I LOVE THEM SO MUCH #it’s giving jealous Cobras.#Yall I’m sorry overly possessive of Johnny and stalker ish Cobras makes me FOAM AT THE MOUTH #Og cobras #lawrusso #johnny x cobras #Cobras X each other big cuddle pile in a twin bed #Karate kid #the karate kid #bobby brown #dutch karate kid #tommy karate kid #jimmy karate kid

it is so weird to me that like all the kiddads are alike in the fact that they are deeply complicated characters who we as an audience have a fascinating view on from both their parents and children’s perspectives and they’ve all committed this great atrocity together and they all kinda consistently fuck up they’re kids a bit, AND YET, it seems that without a doubt sparrow consistently gets the most hate. Like omg free my man or persecute everyone else

#Something something the fandom has this woobified view of normal where they think sparrow treats him like shit #Something something lark is clearly the most common favorite twin so people come up with excuses to say he’s better than sparrow #Idk it’s just so strange to me #Like yes he did that shit but so did the rest of them #(Except tj king is dead so he gets a pass)#They all love their kids they all fucked them up they’ve all done things wrong #Just like deal with it idk #dndads #dungeons and daddies #sparrow oak

I recently finished watching this episode and I swear Eliot had more chemistry with Libby than with the Marshall.

#leverage #leverage redemption #leverageedit #leverageedits #eliot spencer #parker leverage #leverage parker #the double-edged sword job #something about the way eliot charged in #clearly ready to fight whoever he's gotta fight to protect this woman and her kid #got a feeling we'll be seeing more of this maria character though #don't tell me anything #she seems cool by herself #not sure how i feel about her as a love interest for eliot #we'll see

HOTD 1x07 was where I knew I would be Team Hightower forever. Team Green. I wanted to get my opinions out about That Scene.

Lest we forget, Aegon and Helaena were in the room there. Aemond's eye had been ripped out and nobody gave a fuck. Those children watched their mother, the Queen of Westeros be forced to cry and beg their father for some sort of justice, beg for their Father to give a shit once in their lives. Those three were confronted with the fact that their father not only let the one who ripped out Aemond's eye go free but defend their older sister's mistakes. They had to listen as he threatened to rip out the tongue of people who spoke the truth. The king of Westeros would mute people, his own family who spoke the truth. Imagine what his children would've thought of that? What would Aemond think, who refused to rat on his mother? What would Aegon, with alcoholism already, who had just been blamed by Aemond, screamed at by Viseys and slapped by Alicent think, after he too showed a brother's solidarity for the first time and also refused to tell on her?

For the first time we see a correlation between the Green brothers for their traumatised, gaslit mother against the king in the face of this Injustice. They alongside Helaena realised that in this world they could only trust themselves, as they watched the proof of their mother willingly drawing blood from the Princess for her children. Aemond's step into power here and his calmness sets the way for his role as the family's protector in the future, comforting his mother after she fought for him. You could feel that this was the moment the Green Siblings stepped away from their childhoods, however unwillingly.

#this probably makes no sense #im filled with emotion over them they make me sick #they love each other and they hate each other and theyre the reason their lives are ruined but theyre the only ones who care for each other #their family roles are so wack though like #otto's the grandfather but he's the conspirator and manager so hes almost another father #like his and alicent's fight for aegon in 9 also felt like a marriage spat over their son #aegon and helaena are siblings and married obviously so thats weird and freaky and they have kids #aemond was shoved into maturity too early and hes more ridgid so hes almost like the older brother but also the protector as he has vhagar #and is a master swordsman mirroring criston #and criston and alicent are the image of courtly love and clearly dear to aemond and halaena #hotd #house of the dragon #team green #pro team green #alicent hightower #aemond targaryen #aegon ii targaryen #pro alicent hightower #anti viserys i targaryen #otto hightower #helaena targaryen #anti rhaenyra stans #anti rhaenyra targaryen #rhaenyra stans dni

I think the 'the jedi use child soldiers' thing is stupid for a lot of reasons, but among those is that this is a complete misunderstanding of how children's media works. Kids want to see themselves doing amazing things and giving that an in depth analysis that boils down to 'all these adults are evil' is poor, bad faith, media criticism.

That being said, if you compare Star Wars to just about any other YA work, the jedi are miles better as far as child care goes. Canonly every single one of these 'kids in danger' has a dedicated adult who is ideally supposed to be with them to teach and protect them. Very uncommon for the genre.

So if people are mad at the jedi for this, I can't fathom what their reaction to other YA literature is. And if they hate YA literature, idk, maybe they shouldn't be reading YA. Just a thought.

#in defense of the jedi #pro jedi #the other reasons the child solider thing is dumb is that most padawans are not children #like ahsoka was considered young. Dooku was what 16 when he became one? Obi-Wan was 25 and knighted earlier than planned #even if they were knighted early because of the war (which i think is stupid and there is no evidence for that)#that doesn't make them all kids...#and the character we see as child padawans are clearly there for children to watch and enjoy #I mean unpredictable things happen but child padawans are not supposed to be facing danger alone #but eased into it by a trusted adult which is not what happens in ever other YA book #Honestly if you hate the jedi for this but don't equally hate every other adult in every other YA book #maybe you are just LOOKING for reasons to hate the jedi. In which case idk maybe examine why that is #and if you do hate all adults in YA maybe it is time to move onto adult literature because you grew up #which is awesome! I love adult books but judging kids media by these standards and hating people for wanting simple stuff #in their book created to be simple is kind of rude you know?#i realize this post is probably hitting a wasp's nest but I mean if you want to take what I say out of context #(because in context I didn't do or say anything wrong)#well that says more about you than me doesn't it #my thoughts

I like to think that Gorgug hangs out with the seven the way Zelda hangs out with the bad kids. You know that horrible awkward feeling where you only know one person at a party? It’s like that but everyone else at the party is inseparable and they keep teasing you (in a good-natured way) with jokes you don’t understand, and all you can do is smile and nod and try so hard not to embarrass yourself in front of these people you perceive as way too cool for you.

#every adventure group has to have a weird guy who dates a weird guy that’s just how it goes #please oh my god the seven going ‘way to step up Gorgug!!!’ when he calls Zelda from Sylvaire #the fact that they love Zelda does not give Gorgug a single ounce of immunity from being teased #and Zelda showing up at Mordred for moving day #and all the bad kids just accept her being there no problem #like clearly they hang out at least a little #please I really really need someone to write something about them it’s hurting me #save me the seven. save me. the seven please. save me.#I need more content of them so so bad I am STARVED #part of the reason I want donospring to stay good friends so badly is because of this idea #weird ex girlfriends and their respective friend groups that mix just a little #fantasy high #the seven #the seven maidens #d20 #d20 fantasy high #d20 the seven #zelda donovan #gorgug thistlespring #donospring #txt post
