#i want to be forever gentle.#gentleness but as an act of rebellion #it doesn't cost me anything to be soft and tender and careful to living creatures #even if sometimes i still struggle with it #even if sometimes i still lash out or rage against something or someone #the instant i'm overcome by this immense gentleness #i just go oh #and realize how soft and beautiful the world and the universe really are #how precious people are #how fragile they are #and i think to myself #i really must be tender #it takes such an amount of courage to be it though #to go past the dismissal of little and mundane things #and realize just how incredible everything on this earth is #just how we can touch and change and interact with others' lives through tenderness #through gentleness #and to me this apply to every living creature not just humans #it's like realizing that perhaps this is my first life on this earth #and how endearing everything is #how endearing is to go through daily life with awareness and think that perhaps this is my first time experiencing something #and even if this isn't my first life #as i don't consciously have memories of my past ones i just go about it as if this was my first time #anyways!...

Honestly I cannot overstate how much seeing Hayden as TCW Anakin changed EVERYTHING. Matt Lanter's Anakin is a frat dude. He wears a backwards baseball hat and says vaguely offensive things without realizing, while being a fundamentally chill and outgoing guy at heart. Hayden's Anakin is... not that. His voice. His expressions. His physical presence. It's off somehow. It's just left of normal. It's completely unremarkable and yet deeply uncanny for reasons you can't quite describe. TCW Anakin was always a flatter, blander portrayal, but I don't think I realized until now what exactly was missing: the serial killer energy. The inarticulable conviction that SOMETHING unhinged is going on behind those eyes.

#also the difference between TCW anakin's charm and ROTS anakin's charm #tcw: outgoing. does finger guns. nonplussed socially sometimes but still confident. able to be charming #rots: competent. exuberant. frothing with rage. so shy and awkward he fully cant function. insecure. an entire tank yet fragile as glass #charming only because hes both SO COMPETENT and also so categorically unable to purposefully be charming #ITS SO DIFFERENT. WILDLY DIFFERENT. I DID NOT REALIZE HOW DIFFERENT IT WOULD BE #im so glad i got to see this honestly #im going to be reimagining tcw episodes with this version of anakin in them as my bedtime story from now on #i hate to be a broken record but KAREN MILLER CAPTURES THIS #star wars #grace for ts #anakin #ahsoka show #truly truly truly truly truly transformative for me as a person to have seen this #tcw anakin comes into the room loudly quipping and complaining #rots anakin stands there quietly until he smiles and you realize his teeth are covered in blood

People going “waaah Lae’zel is so mean” when like, that’s the point? She was raised in a society where compassion, kindness, anything but strength and devotion to Vlaakith are stigmatized as weakness. Of course she’s mean, everything about her upbringing is pushing her to be mean.

Not to mention, she’s utterly terrified. She’s faced with the literal worst fate she can imagine, about to become her people’s sworn enemy. She keeps a clear head but she’s clearly panicking and desperate to get to what she thinks is the only cure.

And despite that, she’s still a good person underneath all the learned cruelty. Gith protocol says nothing about helping others, in fact it tells her to kill any infected. Instead, she tries to get you cured as well basically out of the goodness of her heart. And if you delay or seek out other cures she gets annoyed because she firmly believes the zaith’isk is -the only way- to be cured.

Even after she finds out her whole world was a lie, she’s not gonna just change overnight. She was still raised to be cruel and xenophobic and mean but you can see repeatedly that she’s trying to work on it. She genuinely thanks and compliments you, she respects your opinion, and she keeps sticking around with you when she could just go off on her own. (She also has 8 charisma and is from a very different culture so her attempts to be openly nice come off as stilted and weird)

Lae’zel is a kind person who was raised to be mean and thinks it’s the only way to be, she’s just “just a mean person”.

By the way, all this applies to Shadowheart as well but a little less.

#baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #lae'zel #it bugs me how fragile men dislike her because they misinterpret her

Well Drawfee is officially no longer safe media for me :(

Karina liked multiple tweets conflating a PSA for antisemitism with Israeli propaganda and claiming that Israel planned its assault to coincide with the superbowl…

Julia liked posts claiming that the war isn’t a war. Nobody has liked anything about antisemitism or even acknowledging Jews are in danger right now.

TBH I’m devastated.

I have Drawfee art all over my home. I was actually gonna become a patron this year. I’d literally been saving to make it feasible. This is crushing. I feel sick.

#leftist antisemitism #antisemitism #drawfee #heartbroken #debated putting this in the Drawfee tag or not #but ultimately I think it’s important #I don’t wanna start fandom drama or Discourse TM #I just want there to be a record of how their silence on antisemitism #and liking of conspiratorial tweets #is affecting a very fragile community #and Nathan being Jewish doesn’t change this for me #his Jewishness does not shield me from his coworkers antisemitism #even though I wanna believe that antisemitism is unintentional #and I’m so happy for Nathan if he feels supported by his friends and coworkers #he obviously knows them better than I ever will #and I’m not calling in Jews to take sides over this or anything #I’m happy that Nathan doesn’t seem to be affected by this #it must mean he has a wonderful support system and that his friends and coworkers are better #at showing their support irl than they are online #and that is important and valid #but it doesn’t change how it affects Jews like me who only experience them through a screen #and do not have a support system #they don’t owe me anything #I don’t expect anything from any of them #but I also cannot deny that I am harmed #by the fact that they didn’t acknowledge the conflict until it affected people who aren’t Jewish #and have still not acknowledged that it affects people who are Jewish #and I especially cannot handle Karina’s clear support for the idea that a Super Bowl PSA for antisemitism prevention #is somehow a sinister Israeli plot and not evidence of the terrible time that Jews like me are having rn #I feel like I lost a friend tbh

I have a gripe about the Star Trek mugs...

Picard's teacup is a delicate, fragile little thing held by a strip of plastic and a dream. That thin glass will break if you look at it sideways. And where do they put that ridiculous tiny cup? On the Enterprise, which is always being dragged into conflict

The DS9 raktajino mugs are hefty, wide-based things that are meant to not tip over. They're called no-spill mugs. They have a foam piece on the bottom so they don't slip. They're incredibly sturdy – meant for ships and traveling! Where do they put them? At the station, which is arguably the most stable place they could be cause DS9 rarely gets knocked about.

Far as I'm concerned, Janeway's the only one doing practical space mugs correctly. Come on, a metal travel mug that's as strong as her coffee is black? Takes a beating through 70,000 light years of bridge shakes fighting off the Borg and the Hirogen and still holds a hot drink? Now that's a space mug

#is this the spoon post all over again? am I just insane about dishware?#it's 3am and I'm ranting about space mugs #believe me Picard's teacup is fragile or I just had a bad one #I broke one by putting a butter knife in it doing dishes smdh #I know they all have more mugs but we're talking about icons #I exclusively drank coffee out of the Picard mug until it broke then I retired it #the defiant mug gets a pass cause it's basically the proto Janeway mug they're both thermos Nissan #and the iconic ds9 mug is the raktajino mug I don't make the zeitgeist #inevitably someone is going to come at me for the defiant mug cause this is tumblr where ds9 lives #it's not called Star Trek Defiant though is it?#you say ds9 mug people will think raktajino ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#I have a collection of screen accurate mugs I have a draft somewhere ranking them all #I drink out of the raktajino mug more than Janeway's mostly because hers is impossible to find and honestly the no spill is a good mug #don't get me started on how hard these mugs are to clean #I will fight you about this

The Fatui's Handbook to Interacting with [Name]

Below is a set of rules one must follow when speaking with [Name], Lord Harbinger Il Dottore's spouse. These rules may seem simple but do not be deceived. Even the oldest employees here have trouble with them, which is why the handbook is constantly being updated. Good luck. If you have any additions please let us know.

~ Above all else, do not make them sad, and do not make them cry. Bad things will happen if you do.

~ Do not ignore them if they speak to you. Do not be dry either, it will make them sad. One must find the right balance in conversation. They enjoy anything really, and will be excited to listen to anything you have to share. If you manage to make them smile or even laugh, give yourself a pat on the back, for they will probably make sure you aren't selected for one of the Doctor's tests. But do not overstep from there. The Doctor doesn't like other people getting too close to what's his.

~ Do not mention any other God besides Her Highness the Tsaritsa in front of them.

~ Do not mention their illness unless they bring it up first.

~ Do not speak poorly of Lord Dottore or his segments in front of them. They will get mad, and then bad things will happen. (You do not want to find out what "bad things" include.)

~ Do not speak poorly of them in front of Lord Dottore obviously, but also watch your words around Lord Pantalone, Lord Tartaglia, and Lord Columbina.

~ If [Name] and Lord Dottore or a segment engage in affection in front of you, do not look at them, and leave the room if possible. If not, continue working as if they're not there.

~ Complimenting their relationship with Lord Dottore will result in lots of smiling and giggling from [Name]. However, do not ever mention anything of the sort to Lord Dottore.

~ Feel free to ask [Name] for guidance or help around the lab. They would be happy to share their knowledge with you if possible. However, only do this if Lord Dottore is not around. He doesn't like to see others bothering them.

More rules -> x

Since you guys like this so much, I'll shamefully plug my fic here (if you like soft Dottore and more fragile reader!!)

#smooches talks #fragile reader <3 #dottore love notes <3 #i just have this idea in my head of the fatui mass producing these things since ur such a big thing in the lab #like if ur working w dottore u gotta know how to deal with his lover #otherwise... bye bye to u!

Ok I’m freaking out over the quirk shenanigans going by on in this chapter… but isn’t it something that Overhaul with his disassemble/reassemble quirk didn’t give two shits about his underlings’ health and wellbeing since he could put them back together if he needed them…

…but Tomura with only the modified disassemble part of that quirk treated his team like they were precious and worth fighting for?

#bnha 419 #bnha spoilers #shigaraki tomura #overhaul #kai chisaki #like oh my god what a beautiful little thing going on here #the guy who knows how fragile life is treats his friends with care vs the guy who can repair anything sees others as expendable #I’m losing my mind over much of this chapter but this really stuck out to me #smol likes #smol’s weird ass shit

Just a reminder that trans people, you aren't betraying anybody by transitioning. You aren't disappointing women, or men, or whomever because you have decided to transition. This is a personal decision, and if somebody put so much stake into your gender that they feel betrayed by you when they were wrong, that is (frankly) not your problem.

You aren't betraying anybody.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #saw a post and this trans guy felt as though he was betraying women by continuing to be a woman in STEM and like...#...why do we owe people that? why do *you* owe them that?#i get why i totally get why. it's just frustrating to see because it isn't their fault but also they don't deserve to feel like they're...#...BETRAYING a whole gender. like does anybody else see how ridiculous that sounds?#how is gender that fragile that we can BETRAY it by transitioning???? like that's wacky to me #so besties... you are betrating nobody by transitioning. you never have. you just *weren't* that gender #if people started seeing transition as embracing who we are rather than BETRAYAL that would do wonders
