shut. UP

daeran’s party at heaven’s edge made me feel the full spectrum of emotions in like 2 minutes

Call me crazy, but, I don’t think its fair to Izzy or to the audience for Izzy to have only the options of: 1. Dying or 2. Living but suffering.

If you think Stede is capable of redemption for the horrible way he treated his family, his crew, people not on his crew, and Edward.

If you think Edward is capable of redemption for the horrible things he’s done to Stede’s crew, Izzy (I don’t care if you think he deserved it or wanted it, its still a horrible thing to do to someone), his lack of care for his own crew, and the things he’s going to wind up doing in season 2.

If you think everyone else’s propensity for murder and maiming and torture and, yes, just being a dick is excusable.

But you, for some reason, cannot see a way forward for Izzy that doesn’t involve death or perpetual suffering? I don’t understand you, I don’t trust you. You are no better than a cop, if we’re being entirely honest. We don’t like cops around here.

I genuinely resent the claim of ‘Izzy has internalized homophobia’ (I think its much more nuanced than that) but if you’re going to go for that angle, are you honestly going to tell me that you believe people who are oppressed deserve to suffer because they have a complicated relationship with their own oppression and how they deal with said oppression?

I’m not going to approach the claims of ‘Izzy is racist’ because, frankly I’m not a person with authority to speak on that, I’ll simply say ‘I disagree’ and direct you to people who do have authority to speak on it, who refute the idea (some being the writers themselves). I will also say ‘Why are Stede and Pete, who have actually been called racist by a BIPOC/indigenous person in the text, extended a grace where Izzy is not?’

I genuinely don’t think the show is going to go in that direction, I agree with Con in that ‘the show is kind’ and I think that it would be cruel to point to a character that is already suffering and say ‘none of the rest of these people who are suffering deserve to be but this one does and he should be punished because he wasn’t nice like the rest of them’. (Ignoring the fact that none of the rest of them are actually all that nice, they can be, because they care about each other but if you’re only nice to people you care about then you’re not actually nice) If the show does go in that direction though, I will be genuinely disappointed, disheartened and, to be entirely honest? Hurt.

No, not because it’s Izzy specifically. It’s more than just the one character, its about the message that sends. ‘If you are not the ideal oppressed person you don’t deserve a happy ending’. That’s the message it sends. Its a shitty message.

two hrs until arle animated trailer save me

... Mhm

This isn’t Johnny discourse but it is kind of discourse about the discourse about him balding (which he isn’t).

What would it matter if he took off his hat and he was a shining beacon?? The dude canonically fucks (well not canon-canon but I feel like there’s implications of fucks-ing)!! At the most, he would be a Pitbull reference and that would be cool because good for Daisuke. Listen to Timber by Ke$ha (feat. Pitbull).

It kind of felt like they were making jokes at the expense of people loosing hair. It’s like that thing where you shouldn’t make fun of people for ‘X’ because then your friends who ‘X’ will know you think that about them.

John E is cool. I think he’s lame but he’s cool.

Idk anything about Pitbull, to be honest, but my GOD does he look like he's having the time of his life in the Timber video hahah Been a while since I heard that song...

Anyway, Johnny totally fucks. There's no way a man that toned, running around shirtless all of the time, with that slight yeehaw accent, couldn't find someone DTF with the tiniest bit of effort. He's absolutely gettin it rofl He could still get it if he was bald too, or receding.

I've complained about it on here a bit already, but yeah I don't think people making fun of Johnny because they think he's losing hair realize that a lot of people in real life are going to lose their hair as they age, and their jokes at Johnny are also jokes at these people. It's not even just an issue cis men can have either, everyone's hair thins with age, some just more (and sooner) than others. To make fun of someone, fictional or otherwise, for losing their hair is digging a trench to fill with future self loathing at one's own hair loss. And hair loss in >2023 isn't even that bad anymore!! There are so many ways to manage and style it now.

Johnny's a babe. Big fan of his "dad trying too hard to be cool but is actually somehow still really cool despite that" energy

If you're still taking these, AU where Bruce never found out about Tim's fake uncle scheme

Bruce, being the awkward potato that he is, didn't press it when Tim said he didn't want to be adopted and a mysterious 'uncle' appeared. He knew something was fishy but was a bit too hurt by the refusal to dig into it.

It took Tim a while to be okay with living alone, he engaged in bad habits and overworked himself but after 3 or 4 crashes and breakdowns, he learned to pull himself together. Plus, the people in his life (Steph, the Titans, Alfred, etc) learned to check in on him.

Jason just assumed Tim had been adopted and took his place. Tim took extreme pleasure in explaining he's not a Wayne, not related, literally just here for work and nothing else. Jason: Jesus Christ B, you've moved from throwing your kids to slaughter to random kids you barely know!

Dami also assumed Tim was his father's son which Tim also corrected. It infuriated the little Bat, thinking that this Drake character thought he was too good to be one of them.

Dick, Jay and Dami have a monthly meeting to scheme to get Tim into the family and to prove his uncle isn't real for Bruce. But for every fault they find in Eddie Drake, Tim plugs it up just before they present to Bruce. It's maddening in the way that only siblings can cause.

sometimes engaging in f/o content just makes me sad

boy the sudden outpour of angst ideas for larissa weems x reader in my brain got me weeping so bad i feel a fever coming on

"if you happen to fall in the subcategory of people who are really into third life and also rain world lets talk. please. i have an au come back"

Getting back into comics is fun. Minus the Getting Back Into Comics part of it all

i think the witcher makes me feel a profound sadness every night because it’s about all the things we love so much, or that we wish we had, but can never get back. the tragedy of the uncontrollable. the pain of loss.

ciri, despite her youth and innocence, loses her home and family and then she even her adoptive parents, and then she even loses her youth and her innocence, and is left with nothing but a grotesque scar symbolizing her trauma that doesn’t fit her childlike face and a hardened, green glare. and a sword, which is only a burden.

her parents, despite their incredible love for her, despite all of their agony and sacrifice to get her back, despite their own loss of their honor, their pride, their blood — they lose her too. they lose a child, the most tragic loss of all.

dandelion loses his best friend, clutching at his memories like the weeds growing by loch eskalott, trying to grasp the last twenty years to write his memoires.

milva hears her father’s words when she shoots, and his wheezing echoes in her mind.

regis lost himself, his entire life, all the people he ever loved and chased away.

cahir, despite his large family that loves him more than imperial orders, can never return to darn dyffrya, feel the sun on his face in vicovaro ever again.

angoulême wonders if her mother would have loved her had she not abandoned her, imagines what her hand patting her head in praise could have felt like.

and then geralt loses them. all of them, one by one.

and nimue, reading about it all, can never meet the figures of the legend she has obsessed over for years and years… she has her part to play in it, she can know their voices from dialogues and know their faces from etchings, but will never be able to tell them she loves them, tell them how much they mean to her.

even when they find what they’re searching for, even when they find what they’ve desired so — it’s only for a bittersweet moment. they shortly lose it again. everyone in this series is so intertwined together and caught in the same snare of destiny, and at the very same time so very alone and abandoned

i think my primary issue with daevabad 3 is there's too much war criminal. why are we spending a third of this unnecessarily long winded novel in his head while he kills people like whats the point + the author likes him far too much to treat his character as seriously as she should........yes most of this is personal preference but also. it isnt like you cant take a villain with a personality if you've read of john and kennit (and enjoyed their character greatly). it's just the way none of what the author is depicting seems purposeful. the impact of this book would not have lessened one bit had the author not put a treat w a string attached in the reader's mouth; dara's pov adds nothing
