I eagerly await the writers who are desperate to unionize themselves saying the Defias are right and the human heritage quest is admitting that lol

rick baby if you're not going to hell nobody is

my view of giant characters in pet trope stories:

doesn't do anything about the tinies being sold as pets: bad

buys a tiny as a pet to own them as a pet: evil

buys a tiny as a pet to free them and be nice to them: okish, (i mean, you still gave money to the human traffickers. they're still gonna but and sell more tinys, you haven't really done anything to stop them)

beats the living hell out of the guy selling sentient beings and frees all of them: good, epic, amazing, based

(should probably make a post about my over all thoughts on the pet trope soon)

What a plot twist you were. [x]

I had to punch a hole in the coffin and claw my way through six feet of dirt. Then when I finally broke the surface, retching up dirt and congealed blood, Cazador was waiting. From that day on I was his.

Ok I know I'm heavily biased here but like I kinda love that Astarion's romance is one of the few in this type of video game where you basically end up canonically unmarried and childfree in his "good" ending? Just travelling the world??

Like it's honestly the millennial dream lmfaoo cannot believe i chose what would undoubtedly be my favorite option, first try

He may have committed those crimes, but that's what makes him hot your honor ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈)

Re-reading jttw after so many years is wild because my reading comprehension has improved so much. I didn't realize how many gods just straight up lied to the jade emperor and others about swk like bro those peach maiden gals fr said he beat the crap outta them when the mans never laid a hand on them-

watched usopp's little arc with defeating sugar and wow it took A LOT for him to turn back after running away to fight them again. but then later he finds out that she's awake and thinks about how he'll lose his memories of Luffy if he doesn't take care of her again, and IMMEDIATELY makes up his mind to shoot her from SO FAR AWAY?

i guess my biggest issue is that you should have seen the end coming because it makes sense narratively, so in a way you did see it coming, but the show has spent two seasons subverting expectations and chucking logic out the window, so in the context of the universe they've created it fucking doesn't make sense.

I know it narratively makes sense to tie Izzy's arc off like this, but this show has gone to great fucking lenghts to show it doesn't give a toss about sense or how you're supposed to tell a story. The plot armour has been so thick for two seasons it's genuinely ridiculous, but that's the show and now this is the audience it's amassed. You think I've spent all this time watching these idiots strut around an ocean the size of a bathtub powered by nothing but spite and a gaydar because I value logic above all else? You think I like the show despite it's narrative insanities, not because of it?

Spending a season on Izzy's emotional and mental journey only to kill him off in the end does makes a certain literary sense. Him dying surrounded by the family he finally accepted and who accepted him in turn makes literary sense. His death allowing Ed to let go of the last of Blackbeard makes literary sense.

In the real world.

But we've spent two seasons in Pirate Muppet Land, with it's bathtub size ocean where everyone can find anyone, where wounds heal the moment they're patched up, where crocs and paparazzis paperazzis exists in 18th century. I'm not here for realism, I'm here for the insanity. I'm here for the workplace romcom where this community of queer idiots can laugh and cry and have their drama and, yes, a boatload (ha) of angst but it's fine because it is about them, the plot only there to further their personal journeys no matter how unrealistic that plot turns out to be. They created Something, something new and different and hopeful, and then made a single decision that went against everything they'd built so far because? Logic? I genuinely don't know.

Ultimately I'm happy with this season. I had so much goddamn fun. I enjoyed the ending, though for the personal journeys it concluded rather than story it actually told. This season was way too rushed, for which I assume we should largly blame HBO. The cast and crew did what they could with what they had.

Still though.

I said at some point during this season that I "genuinely can’t see a scenario where they kill off any of the crew, it’s just not that kind of show". Turns out it decided to be that kind of show, with the worst decision they could make. Killing off Izzy does make literary sense. Which, in context of the show so far, makes it goddamn unrealistic.

It's not a good plot twist to pull the rug from out under the audience if the rug is actually a carpet floor you've spent the whole season nailing down.

Hc:

Tim got some homophobic comments at a gala once and decided to be petty as shit about it (as he damn well should).

He waited three months before bribing Jason to break into this guy's car. The Red Hood didn't know what exactly he was installing, but he was promised significant intel on some annoying cases and videos of whatever he wired into the guy's car.

After the guy turns on their car, Ram Ranch blares on full blast. It's so loud (and the guy hates the song so much) that the guy starts taking Ubers everywhere.

Tim, acknowledging the guy had not suffered enough, does an interview with Gotham Globe where he mentions that "someone" once said homophobic comments to him at a gala. He doesn't name them, which makes people even more curious who the hell said that to Timothy Drake-Wayne.

Tim had this whole plan that led to the person either realizing the errors in their ways or Tim would make an example out of them. Unfortunately, Tin didn't get the chance to enact his evil plans. Instead, the idiot confronts Tim pubically, thus naming themself the perpetrator.

Suffice to say, with the whole Wayne family making that guy's life a living hell post reveal, they had to move out of Gotham.

Having fun with the concept of gen z stuilly. Imagine Stu calling Billy in tears at 3 am because he saw a pic of smiling dog by accident

girl help the beautiful man at the food truck flirted with me and shook my hand with his big gorgeous hand and held on a little longer than he needed to (but in a good way) and then he gave me a free mango lassi and THEN left his food truck unattended to go get me a bottle of water after i asked if there was any water available and after all that all he wants in exchange (other than payment for the food i ordered) is for me to rate him on google maps. but girl i don't even know how to do that

i will never be able to put into words how much the percy jackson books mean to me... they were a formative experience and they truly helped shape me into the person i am today, so the fact that we're finally getting a good live action makes me feel unwell...
