When you realize that Jude hadn't pardoned herself, not because she hadn't figured out the loophole in the exile (meant specifically for her) but because she had loved Cardan (even if she wouldn't admit it to herself), and was hurt.

Jude had loved him since before she became a prisoner of the Undersea. She loved him when she agreed to marry him. She had hoped her feelings were returned but the exile didn't just mean she couldn't go back, it made her think (and believe) that Cardan hadn't loved her. She wanted to go back because Elfhame was home, she wanted to go back because she missed magic, but how could she go back to where the boy she loves—the King—was probably enjoying himself with his ex or a new lover, mocking her with his friends and laughing over her with her sister, being free at last of any commands, all while knowing (assuming) how much of a fool she was made?

Jude was hurt, not incapable of understanding the faerie wordplay she'd grown up listening to most of her mortal life. The slap she gave Cardan only showed a little of how deep that hurt went.

also a nice thing about the finale for roman is that i think he was really denying his love for gerri after logan died, and he was acting so awful and cold toward her in his grief, but we see him fondly thinking of her in the video scene and the martini scene here (in addition to pretty much having a panic attack at the thought of being in a room with her as the magnitude of what he lost sets in now that his feelings are more cracked open) and you know what, i’ll take that as progress. he’s kinda getting back to his heart.

#still mad we didn't get more gerri time though that's dumb #i get that she wasn't a main character but she was. TO ME.#and to roman #we can also deduce from our crumbs that she still cares about him due to all her funeral behavior #in short a textually supported win #dollsome's deep thoughts #romangerri #roman x gerri #succession #succession spoilers #we are gonna have fun on ao3 y'all i just know it

Cass looks like a vampire

Nightwing #106

#dick is buff as fuck in this art style #and he's teaching cass how to make pancakes after she taught him a move so hmmm hmmmmm honestly i'm not mad at it #feels kinda off. like halfway between a fanfic story and what their relationship could've progressed to in canon #tt's story today was also alright other than that dumb joke about the ambulance #i like that ric mentioned that his memory wasn't good and that he lost minutes or days #that's def a continuation from the ric arc where ric said that he'd just black out sometimes #see i appreciate continuity details like that #buuuut ric keeping the letter that the guy gave him... lol it's just kinda funny since he torched the whole nightwing bunker #like oh yeah i'll save this letter for the old me in case he comes back but at the same time i'll burn everything old me had #Dick Grayson #Cassandra Cain #tuesday spoilers

idk if it was the venus retrograde or what, but july 2023 was quite literally the worst month i've ever experienced in my life like.....every single day? awful? worse than the last? it's more likely than u think

#u know sometimes you'll experience something bad in the moment and look back later like lol that was fine actually!#not july :) she was actually really bad :)#tmi but if u wanna know why i was gone lol #my partner of 6 years cheated on me in early may. on her birthday. at her party that i planned. with her coworker. and i saw it #on top of just being like. completely devastated? i was just so embarrassed? i hardly told anyone because it made me feel like #just SO worthless. and then i was embarrassed about feeling worthless and it was a whole thing #anyway they started dating in july and it was really tough for me #it was like every day i'd wake up and have to like grieve? and come to terms with reality? and accept that a lot of my future plans #were no longer going to happen - at least with her :/ it's a really tough thing to grapple with #esp since it felt like she wasn't nearly as sad as i was - which unfortunately makes sense but still sucks #ANYWAY im doing a lot better now lol i started telling people in my life and letting them be there for me and it's helped so much #it's still hard sometimes but i know now that i'm gonna be fine eventually #this is so dumb to post on my sims blog but it feels good to get it off my chest so SUE ME I GUESS

if dorian didn't show up, do you think louis would have shot minnie?

I do. I know some people think either he wouldn't have or he would've missed so that's why the writers had him shoot Dorian instead, but mmmmmm no, I don't personally think so. I like to think that if he had taken the shot, his shaky hands would've caused him to shoot her fatally.

Mostly because I'm already so normal about the fact that of the Ericson crew, Marlon and Louis are the only ones with a body count. Well, that we know of, but shown to us in the game, at least. Plus, we know it's Louis' first kill.

Like yeah, Clementine and AJ become part of the crew and they have bigger body counts, and if we're counting indirect kills caused by actions, then Tenn has a count... and I guess everyone has blood on their hands for blowing up the boat... but I'm talking about killed directly with a weapon like....... I lied, I'm not normal about that at all, Louis and Marlon are the ones who have killed someone in Louis' route. I'm also not normal about the fact that Louis kills Dorian and then even as he's clearly in shock, he tries to go with Clementine to get AJ, and then later on when they talk about it, he says it feels like bile but not quite and he's glad he has it in him to do it.... listen, listen, listen... I'm obsessed with that.

Anyway, so if Louis shot Minerva, I think he would've accidentally killed her and can you imagine? He's already enough of a mess after killing the woman who pinned him down and tried to cut his finger off [or succeeded] but he knew Minerva, they were friends before the twins were taken. Even Violet couldn't kill her even though that would've been the smarter thing to do, and we know thanks to meta knowledge that killing her would've saved lives, but Violet couldn't, and I don't think Louis would intentionally either.

Speaking of Violet, if Louis killed Minerva, I hate to think about what that would've done to Vi. I think she might've actually left at that point, like what was planned before it got changed to her being burned. I don't think she would've attacked Louis over it, though, like yeah she attacked Clementine in the cell but Louis? I don't know, but I don't think so just because it's Louis and he'd be a mess about it anyway.

Though if he did kill her, it would be a neat parallel to draw... y'know, because Louis forgave AJ for killing Marlon even though he was pissed and heartbroken, and Violet was annoyed with him the entire time... but could she ever forgive Louis for killing Minerva? Y'know? We already have a similar parallel with AJ shooting Tenn, but still.

If Clementine killed Minerva in that moment, though, then I could see Violet attacking her since in her eyes, Clem proved her right.

So yeah, I get why they added the Dorian kill to his route. It adds another compelling element to Louis as a character, but we also need Minerva alive for episode 4; Louis can't kill her, he can't miss, and he's not going to stay with her because we need Violet to stay on the boat and him to be on shore for all routes.

#asks #twdg louis #twdg minerva #twdg clementine #twdg violet #twdg marlon #twdg tenn #honestly whenever i see someone say louis is the boring option i'm just like '.......that's your opinion but also how can you say that??'#then again i'm sure other people look at me saying violentine just isn't for me and they say the same thing so y'know... i can't talk haha #also time is such a weird thing because i look at the entire cell scene in louis' route and like... i'm not even mad about violet anymore #like yeah i still don't believe she was brainwashed like i'm sorry y'all only believe that because kent said something about it #not because there's all this evidence toward it in game like vi being pissed at clementine makes sense she doesn't need to be brainwashed #for it to work like her being vulnerable and easily manipulated into submission makes perfect sense especially with minerva there #it's like everyone was pissed that she attacked clementine and people needed a way to excuse it so it's not violet's fault when like...#that's literally what makes it interesting like calm down it's okay if violet is pissed and scared and behaves accordingly #also my controversial opinion of the day that i'll hide here in the tags so maybe people won't find it sksksk but #I personally find the concept of vinerva and the doomed tragedy of it more compelling than anything violentine did #like i'll defend violentine and i do believe it's an important and good ship it's just not my personal favorite #anyway but then the whole thing with lilly and minerva is so good and louis screaming FUCK YOU at minerva?? amazing love it so good #i love when the soft character who never chooses violence is so pissed off that all that anger they have boils to the surface and it's raw #like... he's SO mad he's SO furious he's SOOO UPSET like he wasn't even like this when marlon died or anything like he hit his limit #and then shooting dorian through the mouth while an accident is just well done i love it and i love his reaction of mortification #and apologizing and YET he still tries to go with clementine he's trembling and can barely string together a sentence but he wants to go #he wants to help her he wants to save aj THAT is the gut reaction he has after everything that just went down #'louis isn't loyal or good for clem because of the vote' babe tell me you don't understand any nuance of louis' character without telling m #it's fine IT'S FINE you don't have to agree and i just have to remind myself that it's fine not everyone likes louis we're okay #this drives me crazy in the best way like y'know what? i love the cells scene in louis' route all of it even the stuff i used to rant about #even the stuff that used to piss me off now i'm just like 'no wait past cj was dumb she wasn't looking at it this way aaaaaaaa' sksksks #that was my tag ted talk about the cell scene thank you

Dick + not getting phone calls

1. Bruce makes Jason Robin (Batman 416)

Dick: "It was quite a kick for me to learn about the new Robin in the newspapers."

2. Jason dies (New Titans 55)

Dick: "Bruce never called to tell me what happened to Jason. He didn’t know I was half-way across the universe, but he didn’t even leave a message on my machine. If Danny hadn’t found out... Blast him. Why didn’t he call me?"

3. Bruce picks Jean-Paul Valley as the next Batman (Robin 13)

Dick: "You left Tim alone with a lunatic. The kid could have been killed." Bruce: "There wasn't time." Dick: "No time to pick up a phone? No time to call me? ... I thought there was one guy who'd have faith in me. But when it comes down to the test, you picked someone else to succeed you."

4. Alfred quits after Bruce's back gets broken in Knightfall (Nightwing: Alfred's Return)

Dick: "Bruce didn't send me. I came because I'd like to know why the guy who's been like a father to me suddenly upped and split without a word! Because my best friend has been gone for months - the Bahamas, Antarctica, England - and I didn't even get a call! Not even a postcard!"

5. Donna's son dies (Teen Titans Vol. 2 12)

Wally: "Man, Dick, I'm sorry! I thought for sure she would have called you!" Dick: "Robbie was her world. Why didn't she call? I could have helped. I would have... I'd do anything for her..."

6. Wally's wife miscarries and...it's complicated, but for the purposes of this list you just need to know that he didn't tell Dick or ask him for help (Flash 210)

Dick: "What I said earlier, I didn't mean for it to come out that way. You're my best friend. You have been since we were kids. And after everything you went through, I just wish I was the one you came to for help - instead of Hal."

#dick ''JUST CALL ME AND ASK FOR HELP DAMN IT'' grayson #also dick: *does not pick up his phone when roy keeps calling after donna dies*#*tries to hide and then straight-up run away from tim in the aftermath of blockbuster*#dick grayson #anyway the wally plotline is something else flash comics are bonkers you guys #at wally's 1st wedding his wife gets kidnapped & everyone forgets she exists #later they remember and have an impromptu second wedding!#another time he got replaced by a different Flash from another dimension #and that Flash pretended to be him for a while and was in the Titans and it unnerved Dick who wasn't sure if Wally set it up on purpose #you might be thinking ''come on Dick - Wally would never do that''- but wellllll /probably/ he wouldn't but it's hard to say #after Linda miscarries Wally gets the Specter to mindwipe his secret ID from everybody #but then uh oh Wally forgot too! - but then he remembers! - so he tells Linda so she'll remember!#so she's understandably kinda freaked-out that he messed with her mind albeit w good intentions and she needs some space #and then Wally goes and reminds Clark who he is and then reminds Dick who he is #anyway i feel like Dick's frustration with him here is very legit and so is Linda's though in Wally's defense #he was extremely upset by the Zoom-attack-induced miscarriage #and going to the Specter for help is not *quite* as dumb as it sounds because the Specter used to be the hero Hal Jordan #and Hal Jordan was buddies with Barry Allen the previous Flash #anyway later on there's time chaos and the miscarried twins get born after all!!#so it all works out in the end #anyway my conclusion is that if you had the misfortune to become a speedster you just gotta get used to zany adventures #hoc scripsi

there are multiple reasons that i think the popular fanon interpretation of tenrose where they were having sex in season two doesn't make any sense and is objectively wrong but really when i entertain the idea that they were having an explicitly sexual romantic relationship the way people think they were (and yet we never saw them kiss, never saw them even LEAN IN TO KISS) i get very frustrated because that's a completely different relationship than what we saw on screen and it doesn't make me feel validated at all.

their relationship is deep and romantic and valuable without the kissing, because it's walking this thin line, where we know they want to be together fully and are almost there, but haven't quite fully realized it, especially toward the end of season two.

but if they were kissing and having sex and it was meant to be some sort of secret from the audience? i find that insulting and half assed writing, which it's not. tenrose is a story about a love so deep you are afraid to approach it because it will take you down. it's about wanting everything and taking nothing because you're afraid of losing it again and how your own repression hurts you in the end because you lost anyway. that's why we never see them kiss in season two, not because rtd is a prude or because that was all off screen.

doomsday is so painful because toward the end of season two the doctor is embracing his feelings for rose. he was starting to open up to her- and then it was all snatched away before they could do all of the things they wanted to because those things weren't in the cards for them yet.

#rambles #i feel like it dumbs the writing down honestly #not because sex is dumb or anything but because #it's like if they were then fucking show me!#yes it's a family show but there are ways to get that across that isn't overt #rtd just never did that because it wasn't the intention #they were in love they were a couple but it was an arc #and he was slowly letting her in and tbh if she hadn't gotten ripped away they would have!#but they didn't and the fact that he repressed himself so much definitely haunts him s3&4 #i think he is PLAGUED with not only grief but also regrets

Was just randomly thinking of a girl I haven't seen in fifteen years and just had this quiet moment of...

There is theft and there's theft

It was hilarious when she showed up at college one rainy day and it turned out she'd stolen one of the raincoats from the grocery store where we both worked

It was less funny when she'd steal shit from our friends when they left the table and expected me to go along with it

(which I did not do-- I'm not gonna say I told on her for it. Because I have a very expressive face when I want and I don't need to say anything.)

"oh but it's harmless stuff, it's harmless for her to steal the pins off people's bags and then not give it back when they don't notice!"

But why is she stealing little pieces of joy from people she calls friends? I don't care if they don't notice right away, there's this thing called change blindness.

And if she can't really be trusted with your little treasures, how are you supposed to trust her with the big ones?

That's not the jackass that doesn't pay her enough or gives her shit hours, that's the girl that she has two classes with and eats lunch with every day.

There's just something broken about that.

There's theft and there's theft.

#You can take this as a metaphor but it's really not it's what formed my whole attitude about this stuff #I wasn't thinking about her because of people being dumb on my posts btw I was thinking about her bc I happened to look at a keychain #A keychain exactly in the line of stuff she was pinching from her friends all the time #And I have adhd

What would have happened if Alicent agreed to marry Helaena to Jace?

...It wouldn't have really changed anything on the Greens' end. Maybe it would have gained the Blacks a few more allies?

The issue with marrying Helaena to Jace is that Helaena was never the problem and was only ever in danger because her brothers were. Aegon, Aemond, and Daeron were in danger by virtue of their existence, as challenges to Rhaenyra's claim. Any lord who didn't want Rhaenyra to rule wouldn't care if Helaena married into Rhaenyra's bloodline, because Aegon would still be there as an alternative to Rhaenyra in their minds.

This is the whole point of Alicent's "you are the challenge Aegon, as you live and breathe" line in the show. It's not Helaena who's the challenge; it's Aegon. A marriage between Helaena and Jace might make Aegon less willing to stand against Rhaenyra, but unfortunately his willingness was never the problem, either. Aegon's not the challenge because he wants to be; what he wants, or even what he's suited to, has no bearing on this. He's the challenge in spite of these things, not because of them, and he's the challenge just because he's Viserys's eldest son.

And, as I've talked about before here, there's real-world precedent from the rough time and place Fire and Blood is based off of about what happens with these challengers. Lady Jeyne Gray was a sixteen year old girl who was still seen as a challenge to Queen Mary's reign even after Jeyne renounced her claim and swore fealty to Mary, because men were still going to war for her. So Mary killed her, not because she wanted to, but because nothing was going to dissuade these men from inciting war save for Jeyne's death. Because the men had never cared about what Jeyne wanted, only how they could use Jeyne for their own political ends.

The lords supporting Aegon's claim are supporting him to fulfill their own misogynistic goals; they don't care what he, or Helaena, or any of the other Greens want. They don't need to. They only need him to exist. To live. To breathe. As Alicent said, that is all the challenge they need.

#please take my usual disclaimer that no i don't think rhaenyra was rubbing her hands together eagerly waiting to kill her siblings #but that she might be willing to give the order if it was the only way to end wars and protect her children #and even if she wasn't daemon would do it in a heartbeat we have proof this mans will kill people she doesn't want him to if it's “for her”#this is so dumbed down lmao but i am operating on like 1 braincell rn #fab #hotd #house of the dragon #hotd meta #fire and blood meta #fire and blood #aegon targaryen #aegon ii targaryen #aegon #aegon ii #aegon the elder #helaena targaryen #helaena

I'm certain that tg stans (basically Alicent's stans) would include Daenaera to the Targaryen women they like if she '"didn't get in the way of Jaehaera" (not that she actually got in her way, bc she became queen after Jae died).

Daenaera has all the characteristics they praise other characters for:

Leaving politics to her husband, being more of a passive queen? Check

Being very beautiful? Check

Being feminine in a way that it's not threatening patriarchy? Check

Having a tragic background so she can make it to their martyr list? Also check.

I mean most of them stan Naerys out of all Targaryen women so why not Daenaera as well? Oh right, as I mentioned before she got what Alicent's granddaughter didn't get ( aka to live as a queen and be loved by her husband) and therefore let's label her as a "Mary Sue"!!/s

#daenaera velaryon #team black #anti team green stans #got dumb fandom #daenaera would have at least as many stans as Naerys if she wasn't Aegon iii queen and Rhaenyra's daughter in law

not me popping back on here with a post after months of semi-inactivity (uni is being a bitch) just to reiterate how much i love writing the pahkitew island cast.

aside from sammy and amy (obviously), literally everyone else can be shipped with one another and it'd make sense to some degree, like it takes skill to create a group of people so inherently shippable (platonically and/or romantically) and ofc the writers didn't know it they just shoved a bunch of random ppl together and dusted their hands off on it but fr tho 😭

(yeah im planning out my leonave 'stranger things inspired' au, and the gears are turning, and i forgot just how much i love writing for this dumbass group)

(i swear im working on the next chapter of a guide to surviving the apocalypse too)

#no but i've way too many ideas lmaoo #i forgot ive a whole longass post in my drafts dedicated to ramblings abt this longfic and i came across it today ahaha #like amy leading a manhunt for leonard bc shes got everyone to think he killed her sister (who she didn't even like much smh)#and topher's one of the ppl involved and when shawn hears he's like “topher? yeah i can handle him dw” (possible tophawn minor pairing??)#and leonard's abt to get the equivalent of being burnt at the stake literally #when guess who shows up in a fucking mercedes of all cars #fucking dave #and he helps leonard escape narrowly by driving fast af and leonard's so confused bc like “i thought you'd be with those guys”#and get this: dave doesnt believe leonard killed sammy bc of his vehement belief that leonard doesn't know magic LMAOOO #and leonard doesnt know whether to be affronted or grudgingly thankful bc if it wasn't for dave's desire for everything to be normal #leonard would have been part of the witch trials 2.0 #and idk who's watched st but the plot is somewhat inspired by it #like shawn goes missing first and dave as his best friend is panicking abt it (in this one axel is shawns cousin???)#and then when they find him at last the weird deaths start leading to leonard finding sammy dead and this whole situation #and theres a whole different world underneath them and its up to leonard dave ella and sky to team up and prevent certain destruction #and theres slowburn leonave (with pining leonard and oblivious dave)#and leonard lives with his uncle whos understanding of his passions (unlike his dad who basically gave him away for the same reason)#and leonard's life is total opppsite from dave's #and they both know it #and omgggg this au has been a brainrot for so goddamn long #but idk why i just got a slew of ideas for it today #and like dave stays over at leonards at one point and leonard gives him his bed (like a gentleman)#and the next morning shawn barges in like “wheres my best friend” bc ever since he was taken he's been v paranoid abt losing the ppl he lov #and he hugs dave and daves like “how dirty are you rn” and shawns like “nothing yet i waited so that i can hug you when i see your dumb ass #and everyones like abt dave to leonard “idk if he's the right one for you”#but then later on dave saves his life by going a little bit unhinged classic dave-style #and ends up scaring a nurse and receptionist into retiring early #total drama #td leonard #td dave
