i’m growing progressively more irritated with how a good majority of the fandom and overall player base has decided to write gale off as “desperate dude who is immediately in love with the player for merely breathing next to him and can’t take a no.” all due to a launch date bug that has long since been patched. gale loves and feels deeply. and when his budding relationship with tav progresses further, it shows just how deprived of genuine affection he is and how much he craves for it to be returned with the same intensity and dedication, but i wouldn’t ever call him desperate. he has been voluntarily celibate and isolated from society for a long time before he met tav and even when they meet and their relationship slowly develops, he has no intention to immediately jump their bones.

his romance is a slow-burn, that is filled with mutual pining until at least ACT 2, because there are simply too many reasons why it can’t happen before that. gale is also rather adamant regarding his boundaries, if the player decides to pursue a romance with another character while with him, brings up the idea of a poly relationship with halsin or cheats on him with mizora. it’s literally a simple: “these are my boundaries, either you’re with me or not.” he doesn’t stay with them nor is he willing to compromise just to please them. he doesn’t try to deflect how hurt he is either. he explicitly states that he misjudged you and that broken trust is something he’s not willing to tolerate in a relationship.

gale will give his entire heart to you and he wants the same in return.

Insta pls. I don’t want to make reels. Pls just give me back my reach :c

I’m rewatching Captain America Civil War and you know what? That secretary guy is right. The Avengers was doing a shit job of “protecting people” and needed oversight.

Granted maybe they should’ve given the Avengers more time to read through it and come to a decision, but continuing on as they were was not a viable option. Tony literally invented a murderbot and then killed several thousand people trying to stop it. These are the actions of someone who has never been told “no” in his life. ‘But hE feLT gUiLtY’ I don’t care. He and the others (but mostly him) clearly showed they were incapable of making good decisions about how best to protect the world.

Captain America seems to have good common sense most of the time but his anti-establishment attitude really got in the way this time. I get that he’s fucked up about SHIELD being HYDRA or whatever (idk I don’t actually care about Cap and never watched his movies) but come on dude. This is the United Nations. You can just ‘oh what if they’re evil’ your way out of it. It’s the fucking United Nations. And his other argument, that the Accords would shift the blame, is patently false. They would still be responsible for their actions, they just would have a little bit of a leash on what they could do to face a given threat, which is a good thing!

I need an at home job, I’m sick and tired of the one I have currently. I swear there is no boundaries and my boss thinks we’re “friends”. Don’t call me, don’t text me, don’t fb messenger me after I am home. Work is work and it needs to stay separate from my home life. And speaking of life; I’d like to have one but IM ALWAYS WORKING

really wish my one friend would quit flirting with me. and trying to goad me into hanging out more. and assigning us fictional characters that are oh-so-coincidently either couples or with romantic tension. and then interrupting our gameplay to ask me repeatedly if I think they’re “like us” (which they rarely are…). and matching my icon on discord without asking (again, usually by insinuating a couple connection). and giving me random things I do not want and did not ask to receive (and then forcing me to take them???).

omagod ARE THE AROMANTIC AND ASEXUAL TAGS TRENDING??

GOOD BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN ABOUT THE ASPEC

Anyone I’ve talked to irl about aromantism and asexuality either have never heard of it in their life or heard it from the Jaiden animations video

just saw someone saying “buffy has a lot of faith in her in seasons 1 & 2” and I’m like um… NO buffy has a lot of BUFFY in her in seasons 1 and 2 and then they CHANGED HER COMPLETELY when they introduced Faith!!!!?????

Buffy was ALWAYS the rebel slayer who didn’t follow the rules and got into trouble - FUCKED THE SOUL OUT OF A VAMPIRE AND HAS DIED FOR CHRIST SAKE and lived on her own in LA for several months supporting herself and escaped a hell dimension and they fucking changed her into a goodie goody who dresses like a church mouse in order for her to actually contrast enough with faith when those changes make zero fucking sense given everything she’s been through and everything they established about her in the first two seasons!!!

God how the fuck can you attribute characteristics of the main character to a character who hasn’t even shown up yet. That is just the dumbest interpretation I’ve ever fucking seen. I hate season three for so many reasons but the main one is what they did to Buffy’s character in order to make the faith storyline as “her shadow self” make any sense.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again it would have been so much better and made wayyyyyyyyyy more sense if Buffy had become the “bad slayer” after helpless and they had kept kendra to continue to contrast buffy as the “good” aka rule following, council obeying slayer

I hate men and their need to act like any emotional reactions you have while you’re on your period is just you being “hormonal” and “not yourself”

God i hate when people tag spam

if you tag your posts with minor characters not featured in your post I WILL report your post as spam

maybe that makes me an asshole but i don’t wanna wade through a bunch of irrelevant posts while looking for content for minor characters or ships

you’re just being an asshole

like not to be a killjoy or @ anyone specifically or anything, especially bc if you don’t remember the full episode the context probably doesn’t really come across from the gifset alone and it’s not that memorable an episode otherwise, but the fact that like every comment on the post of that scene from 4x15 first contact is just along the lines of “haha funny slutty riker moment” is. I don’t love it? I’m sure it was originally intended to play as a joke but in context he’s stuck on a planet with people coming for him and the one person willing to help him escape is like “well I’ll only do it if you have sex with me” which is like. idk man that’s not freely given consent and I don’t really think assuming he actually wanted to do it makes anything better.

my roommate just asked me if i was wearing makeup or if my skin “just had that glow”

nothing like starting the morning off with a mental breakdown and tears. love it here. Anyways, hope you all have a good day/holiday. Be safe and enjoy yourselves. 🤍

Jannik babe you’re doing it right sweetheart keep SMASHING EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING ON YOUR PATH IN STRAIGHT SETS UNTIL YOURE AT THE TOP, SKIN ON FIRE, YOUR ENEMIES BLOOD DRIPPING EVERYWHERE, SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS “CARLITOOOOS”

Remember when the whole ordeal with s2 was that Ed was so heartbroken that Stede left him that he tried to get himself and the whole crew killed and then they got reunited within like 2 episodes and never spoke about anything of interest together and then that same Ed decided to ditch Stede after a couple of days because he wanted to catch fishes and that lasted half an episode before they got reunited again and the show ended on them leaving everyone to live in a simultaneously doomed to fail/happy ending inn and everyone was like wow good writing I can’t believe this could get canceled $10k billboard in times square

Hazbin Fuck My Life

i adore hazbin hotel, i think it’s amazing, but i can’t help but wonder if i just have low standards or am an absolute dumbass because clearly it has issues that i never spotted until someone brought it up, and even then i thought it was fine(like the pacing for the eps. in general i’m cool with it but i will admit - five months passing in five eps? like are you fucking serious??? that’s insane, what the hell)

and then when i feel smart about deciding that gee, alastor was uncharacteristically crude in ep 5, suddenly i feel like the idiot again because all the comments on videos of him cursing lucifer out are saying how it’s such a good way to show how much lucifer pisses him off. i mean, i saw that too, but it still felt incredibly jarring at the time. and now i’ve conformed to public opinion and i genuinely think it’s fine too. go me. (that or it’s that the shock has worn off and i just think alastor saying “fuck you” is funny)

i fucking hate everything here. i don’t want to be one of viv’s blind stans but i don’t want to be one of her blind haters either, nor do i want to go down the rabbit hole of “what fucked up shit has she done in the past decade” or whatever the hell it is that makes people despise her so much. am i lazy? am i willfully ignorant? or am i making the wise choice to avoid potentially meaningless and petty discourse?

i don’t know why this is so stressful. i don’t know what’s wrong with me
