i'm saying it. i don't think joly would work in a hospital. i think his medical career would be informed by his politics + radicalisation and his + his friends regular drug use, he would be outraged at how the medical industry handles drug users, also at the medical industrial complex in general, so he would find a reputable community led harm reduction organisation to work for 🫶🏻
#joly#it also works because the idea that modern les amis wouldn't all have a million jobs and volunteer roles in community organising#and you know... do direct community action to support people... instead of just little hypothetical meetings where they debate hypothetical#problems....#that idea is so bullshit and i know it's written by people who only have indoor people problems and don't realise most radicals actually do#things... but still it annoys me#and he would hate working in a hospital#not that the harm reduction work wouldn't be stressful and high intensity too but he would rather it for the love of community#also it wouldn't be hard because as a disabled person he would already be radicalised against doctors and medical industry in general#les amis#les mis#mine#i realise as a disabled drug using cane user i could#write joly really really well#the best joly scene is in world ain't ready where in one scene he's so excited for the battle of the bands dancing around yelling and stuff#then they pick him up and he's like 'tonight is a sitting night' URGH that's so real it almost made me cry#anyway joly feelings good morning

as someone who loves to reread books, i feel like the hunger games has some of the best rereadability
i’ve read each of the trilogy each least 5 times each, and tbosas twice, and every time i pick up something new, sometimes about panem as a whole, sometimes it’s character insights, sometimes it’s connections to the real world.
ive said it before, but suzanne such a brilliant author, and she manages to give every character such depth that makes them ALL such compelling characters
i just think it’s incredible how she can write books that fall perfectly into a ya dystopian genre and also provides such profound commentary on society and government
#the hunger games#thg#katniss everdeen#gale hawthorne#peeta mellark#finnick odair#book tumblr#the hunger games might just be my magnum opus#one day i will write down all of my many thoughts and truly there are MANY#i could write an essay on gales character#i used to be his number one hater but recently i’ve been seeing him in such a different light and i think he’s a perfect representation#of young oppressed men and how their oppression can radicalize them#also i am so obsessed with pollux’s character and i want to know everything about his life and how he became an avox his family EVERYTHING#i just want to sit down and talk with suzanne about these books for hours and hours

i talk abt/ draw summer so little but she is like. my fav fav i love her sooo much n i love the specific niche she presents to the story that i rarely ever see in media but also rnm does a LOT of casual things u rarely see in long form media I LOVE HER!!!!!!!
#like specifically the first born daughter to teen parents n just like. existing after that#she only really has anxiety abt it once openly but i do think its why she tried v hard to squeeze herself into rick n mortys dynamic#bc neither beth nor jerry really seem to actively focus on their kids which i could also say sooo much abt those two THEYRE COMPLICATED#n then her little brother who feels to be on the same level as her suddenly isnt and is a space adventuring n has someone who#on the surface seems to love n respect him n she still obviously feels this way despite knowing how rick is#god n shes like. rick. shes like the perfect diane rick blend to me#i love that her teenage daughter - ness works bc it feels like its coming from a lot of shit under the surface#really hope she gets to be explored more next season#the fact evil morty defaulted to her being whod come after them if something happened to rick >>>>>#the fact it was a crime to radicalize a summer on the citadel >>>>>>#her juxtaposition between#morty whos had his ability to fight back continuously beaten down vs she takes it as a challenge to prove herself#which i think is gonna be mortys new arc too#oughvh rick n morty save me#ok this is deep enough in the tags secret lore if u read this far#my first rick n morty kin was actually summer b4 i realized i kinned em n morticia (same hat) more n shes had a special place in my heart#ever since

this hand — cool, damp, with a nervous pulse. this man's hand. i held it all the while he talked and i'm still holding it now. must be going soft.
these days we all need a hand to hold — in the dead of night, when the rain dashes itself in blind waves against the windows. when fear seeps, pooling in every vague depression — diluting and dissolving us, diminishing us — suspending us, drifting, in a submarine world.
when you're drowning, any hand will do.
see this is the part that the new 52 writers always miss about constantine's characterization: he doesn't lack compassion or empathy, and he's not innately selfish. he has always cared more than he probably should. the conflict and tragedy at his core comes from being forced to act against his nature, not from being unable to contain some inherent cruelty. by late hellblazer his ability to show how much he cares is all but burnt out of him, but it's still there.
#( visage. ) AND I'M A BASTARD.#his femininity and radical compassion are all part of his queerness and i'm blowing a kiss to jamie delano every day of my life for it#a hearty fuck you to cunts like azzarello and milligan who decided they needed to Man Up and Straighten Out my guy#you don't see this man in justice league dark. you simply don't#part of why i loved city of demons so much + why jc: hellblazer hits so different is because they brought back some of that empathy#some of that gentleness and willingness to listen. to try to understand#i've said it before and i'll say it a million more times: the difference between his professional facade and his personal self is VAST#and it's part of why his main reason for being upset when people fuck him over is ALWAYS 'you could have asked. i would have said yes.'#anyway i love fear machine john i love these panels i love!!!! john constantine!!!! fuck dude!!!!!!!!!#( character study. ) A WALKING PLAGUE OF A MAN.

Season 8 was like 6 years ago(I feel old) and I know ppl have differing opinions on the Mr Echo thing (but it was intended, made it to storyboard and blocked animation and then dropped, soooo) but. I can see his recruitment p easily tbh. Bc the whole reason Dr J was in that lighthouse was because he was resurrected, forced there, and ordered to build Skulkin vehicles by Samukai. But Samukai in the flashback we see has already been deposed as leader of the Skulkin/Underworld. Which means the orders to do so most likely came from Garmadon.
And since Mr. E is one of the head honchos, he's likely an early arrival to the team, so I don't think Harumi has a whole lot figured out at this point, she's just got her Trauma and some Bad Influence Friends and an obsession with Lord Garmadon. So. Like. Plausible deniability road trip that she's just visiting important markers of Ninjago's recent past, all of which involve Lord Garmadon in some meaningful way; its sightseeing, its cathartic, and it gives her time to develop her dream Motorcycle Gang/Resurrection Cult. She's not looking for anyone at the Lighthouse, but she is looking for vehicle blueprints so she can be the Koolest leader on the block. But oops she looks in the basement and there's an Echo.
And she's flipping out bc??? A Ninja???? In the Lighthouse basement??? I mean it makes sense that it would be this one but???
Except this rusty old robot has no idea what she's talking about with this Ninja stuff, he's just waiting for his dad to come back.
And Harumi pauses.
Because how long has he been waiting? He's not sure, he had no proper way to measure time in the basement, and he doesn't have the best view of his clockwork heartpiece. But it was after his father saw a strange ship docking; Echo was worried it was the People who had locked up his father in the first place, but instead his dad sounded happy when he saw whoever was out there. It could have been a front, though, as clearly it was never safe to let Echo back out. Then Dr J popped down briefly, while everyone above was resting, to tell Echo he was desperately needed elsewhere, that it wasn't safe to bring Echo, but that he'd be back in no time.
And the pieces are fitting together for Harumi. And she's like. Your dad's dead, bro.
And he's like. What? Did he die doing what was needed of him?
And she's like. Oh, no. He died a few years later.
And he's like. Why didn't he come back for me????
And she's like. Probably because they kept him away.
And he's like. Who's they?
And she's like. The Ninja I was talking about earlier.
And it surely can't be hard in universe to find pictures of Zane and Dr J post s2-pre s3, so she pulls one up and shows Echo who is freaking out bc why is that one kind of like him and Harumi explains that that was the droid his father created first, that he became a Ninja, and that hes probably the one who took their father away and kept echo waiting for years.
But Echo has doubts, shocked as he is abt a new older brother, he wants to believe the good in the situation so he's unsure. But Harumi mentions that the Ninja's failures to uphold more than their self preservation/interests has led to uncountable losses and devastation in Ninjago time and time again, before delving into her own story. And she seems so kind, and so hurt, and I do think there's a genuine connection btwn these two that forms from this shared emotional torment that they decide came from the Ninja, and now Echo is more receptive.
And then Harumi gets to start her Garmadon pitch because wait! If Echo was made here, then that could only have happened because of Lord Garmadon. And she reiterates that he's the reason she and her city could have even survived The Great Devourer. And maybe Echo's family-by-creation left, maybe they were untrustworthy and lacking, but that's OK bc if you look at it all a certain way, Garmadon is more of a father to Echo than Dr J was. And Echo is a vulnerable, overwhelmed mess who just found out his dad fucked off for years without him and also died, and also he has a brother??? Who their dad clearly seems to have favored??? Did they even know about Echo??? Did they delight in their life free of him???
Basically. Kinda Spinel-core but getting abandoned and left completely alone does that to you. Especially when the first person to find you after being abandoned is a deeply hurt and misguided teen who is probably kinda desperate for someone, anyone else to see the Ninja the way she sees them.
#i was thinking abt the idea of citrusshipping#and how it could have flowed into Mr Echo. with morro as the vengeful influence tinting these#one sided experiences to associate ninja with loss#but theni was like 'wait a sec tho bc Harumi does that also and its her gang called the sons of garmadon#and if youre very carfeully squinting and cherrypicking out pesky details and nuance. like harumi would be.#echos existence is thanks to Lord Garmadon. and there is no better replacement dad than garmadon. you should be a son of garmadon.#and echo would probably listen and she could get him out the lighthouse and off the island'#and anyway i kinda ship Harumi and Echo now?#i like citrusshipping its funney but i think i actually ship this dynamic now#its. fucked and manipulative but its also like. genuine and just. two scarred young people and harumi gives echo her distorted view#of the world as the gift of her love#so its like she wasnt trying to manipulate echo. not like she was trying to manipulate Lloyd.#but she did take someone in a v fragile state and begin shaping his worldview to match hers. unconciously but still done.#like i can also see her bringing him to the mainland and she and UV and Killow are his tethers which means everything he sees radicalizes#him further...and draws him in closer to the fold#anyway if he and harumi smoochie kiss then shes why he got rebuilt in Crystallized. also i think mr F stands for 'Mr Fun Guy'#echo zane#harumi jade#ninjago harumi#quietmystery?#idk what the ship name would be but im here for it#mr e ninjago#mr echo#echo/harumi#tbh i said i kinda ship it now but it could also be friendship#sons of garmadon#...ok til abt the morro-echo-harumi trio hcs and Yes#this is just more of a like. canon compliant ish take where morro is still gone from the narrative#love the idea of the 3 in a vengeance trio tho

Israel ignoring Egypt's warnings, Israel's chaotic "recovery" (a.k.a. their explicit non-recovery and bombing of hostages), and the IOF's chaotic engagement with Hamas fighters on Oct. 7th and 8th that caught hostages and civilians in crossfire should be proof enough that Israel cannot and will consistently fail to provide for the security and welfare of Jewish people. It should also be proof enough that Netanyahu's government doesn't give a shit about Israeli lives unless they can be weaponized to serve his political and regional goals.
The argument that the only way for Jewish people to have safety and comfort is through a Jewish ethnostate ignores how the violence necessary to establish an ethnostate breeds extremism and a cycle of violence. It ignores how Israel consistently fails to protect and provide for its citizens, how vulnerable the Israeli state would be without US support, and how politically and numerically insecure settler-colonial populations are without ethnic and genocidal violence to reproduce their position in the social hierarchy. This argument also allows countries in the Global North to wipe their hands of their own country's antisemitism. For them, Israel is the solution to their country's "Jewish Question."
Some of Zionism's basic assumptions about Jewish people and the need for a Jewish state come from antisemitic assumptions. Advocates for a Jewish state frequently invoke antisemitic stereotypes to make their case. Like... literal fucking fascists in the US support Zionism because they want to empty their country of Jewish people and then watch them die in Israel.
The largest group of Zionists in the US are Evangelical Christians. Not just in sheer numbers, but as a percentage of their population. And you know what they believe? They believe that all Jews need to return to the Holy Land to be massacred and raptured so Jesus can return. The majority of Zionists in the US are Zonists because they're antisemitic. Their antisemitism informs their support for Zionism, and their belief in Zionism informs their antisemitism.
It boggles me how the US government, literal fascists, and Evangelicals have so many of you legitimately believing that critiquing a man and a government that throws their lot in with Holocaust deniers is antisemitic.
There are experts out there who attest that Zionism encourages and spreads antisemitism around the globe and that it is a contributing factor to increases in antisemitism in the Global North. Some have gone so far as to say it is a literal threat to the well-being of Jews worldwide and a roadblock in the fight against antisemitism.
#israel#zionism#in college the professor who taught me about authoritarianism and right-wing violence stressed that Zionism would get Jewish people killed#he is a Jewish man himself#he spoke about how few in the region actually support extremist groups in the area#and about how Zionism and the violence in the West Bank was poking a great bear#he talked about how if the radicalization from violence mobilized. it could mean the blood of Jews worldwide#especially as the Zionism popular in the Global North encouraged and reproduced common antisemitic tropes#he explained that if the Israeli state does not agree to two people of equal rights under one democratic & pluralistic state#they would be faced with both Jews and Palestinians living under the authoritarian and reactionary rule of an extremist govt.#i remember him talking about the (at the time) regional insecurity of the position of the Israeli state#he was more concerned about the exportation of extremism from Saudi Arabia or Iran than a group like Hamas or Islamic Jihad#he was firm about Hezbollah being more of an existential threat than any of the reactionary groups in Palestine

the thing about steban is, i do regularly have to remind myself not to cinnamon-roll-ify him too much. like he's gentle and kind, yes, and he likes getting slapped also, but lbr a part of him wants power
#posts by me#for someone else the move might have been to look around at what leftist student clubs exist and join one#but steban wants to be the primus inter pares of one reading group#where he determines what gets read and how concepts like ''radical'' are defined#he doesn't quite have the charisma to back that up yet so ofc everyone leaves except for the guy who agrees w him on most things for#simp reasons#hey today the book club tomorrow the world lmao#i think harry's skills don't designate him the leader for nothing. he's not just uli's cute demure little sub#like i truly don't think uli could make steban do things he wouldn't want to do

Hornblower but I make him talk like this
#yeah yeah this is a rural/working class accent and he's a middle class doctor's son i know#at least it could explain the rhotic slip-ups committed by ioan gruffudd in the show#(which are my beloved btw <3 choosing to consider them conscientious objection to the most english guy to ever english)#(i know that's absolutely not what they were but listen. radical linguistic praxis makes it bearable okay)#anyways i'm sure that hornblower has *some* kentish features in his speech#they're all so mean to him about being the son of a country doctor he has to show a slight phonological coloring in some situations#but also for legal reasons this is entirely a joke#i do think it's a pretty dialect though! i like the way it sounds when i try to read the scrunkly pre-ipa here#perce rambles#adventures in historical sociolinguistics#<- making this a new tag because i feel like it's its own rabbit hole#percy yells at cecil scott

Apparently my teacher got arrested for sleeping with students.
I was in shock hearing that especially he supported my feminist views and he was one of those "fight the patriarchy!" people and now im starting to think that was all an act to get closer with me. Me and my friends realized how weird he was especially to us girls, we didn't realize it before but we wish we knew it sooner.
This is one of the reasons why I'm wary of men who say they are a "feminist", a lot of the time they're not. Every man is a misogynist asshole. Fuck that teacher. I wish for the best for the victims they truly doesn't deserve that.
#im so mad fuck him#i remember when he told me i should start a band and if we ever need a place to practice we could use his garage...#like okay weird#radfem#radical feminism#radblr#tirf#radical feminists do interact#feminist#feminism

So I've written the first part of a short Anakin & Padmé fanfic. As a bit of an A/N I feel I should state that I have a deep dislike for how in most fanfics I read about this pair, either they don't like each other, or she treats him like a kid and has a very condescending or maternal/older person tone with him, or they make it about other characters, i.e. Ahsoka or Obi-Wan.
So this is just a little thing I did for myself, where they're just a cute young couple of 20-something-year-olds who are crazy in love with each other. I thought some of you might enjoy it.
Sweet Nothing
Chapter One: Morning
It was early morning, but Anakin was already awake. He wasn’t one for oversleeping and he liked the feeling of a brand-new day, especially if his night hadn’t been plagued by worry, or dreams. Mostly, he loved waking up before she did. He never took it for granted, opening his eyes after the first ray of sunshine had crept through the window, and seeing Padmé lying next to him, breathing slowly with a soft smile playing at the corners of her lips.
She changed every time they came to Naboo together. It was as if Senator Amidala was another role for her to play, just as Queen Amidala had been, an act she did everywhere she went, with everyone she went with. For the most part. Anakin knew he was the only one she could be “just Padmé” with. She was still strong, and fierce, brave and intelligent, just as she was when she carried out her duties, but with him she wasn’t a Queen, or a Senator… she was a girl. He felt the same way about himself when he was with her. He suddenly wasn’t the Chosen One, or a Jedi, or anything else but the boy he never was really allowed to be. Together, they were young and, perhaps, foolish. But they were freer than they ever had been.
She moved, still in her dreams, to lay on her side, her face so that, if she opened her eyes, she’d be staring directly into his own. One of her brown curls covered part of her face, and Anakin raised his flesh hand to move it away, so carefully that anyone seeing it might have thought he was afraid she would shatter if he touched her too soon. Once that was done, he stared, marvelling at her soft features, and thinking to himself that he hadn’t been wrong when he’d asked her, so many years before, if she was an angel.
Padmé slowly blinked, not accustomed to the light, and smiled warmly when she recognised him. She hid part of her face against the pillow, flustered.
“Good morning” she greeted him; her voice muffled.
Anakin laughed softly and kissed her on the forehead. “Good morning to you too”. He knew she was staring at him intently, just as he had with her mere seconds before, as if she was soaking him in.
“You know,” she said, moving to properly look at him. “You look really handsome this morning.”
“I thought I always did.”
Padmé wrinkled her nose, in such a playful manner that made Anakin want to kiss her and…
“Well, that’s true. But more than usual.”
Anakin came closer, first placing a kiss on her hair, then her forehead, then her nose, and, just when he was close enough to kiss her lips, he stopped midway. “How so?”
She tried coming nearer, but he backed away with a cheeky smile. Padmé huffed, a feigned frustration in her eyes. She raised a hand to Anakin’s face, and traced the lines of his cheekbone and jaw with one finger. “You look happier than usual.”
Anakin looked up, pretending to be deep in thought. “That’s because I am.” He finally relented and came close enough to her that Padmé could lean in and kiss him. Her lips were soft, and he wondered if anyone could ever feel for someone like he did for her. He figured not. “It’s no short of a miracle to wake up next to you.” He said, breaking the kiss. “I don’t know what I’d do with myself if I couldn’t do this.”
Padmé smiled, her cheeks becoming bright red, and looking down before raising her eyes to meet his. “You make it sound as if you’re the only lucky one.”
Anakin raised an eyebrow. “I’m not?”
She kissed him again, this time more passionately than before. He wrapped her in his arms, her soft nightgown flowing underneath, as she put her arms around his neck, her fingers playing with his dark blond curls.
“No, you idiot.” She replied, out of breath. She bumped his nose with her own, smiling cheerfully. “I’m pretty lucky myself. You should have that in mind.”
He chuckled, placing his hands so that he was cupping her face. “I’ll try my best to remember.”
After another short kiss, Padmé stood up, suddenly energetic, and jumped out of the bed. “I’ve been thinking” she said, as she swiftly braided her long hair, “we could do something fun today.”
Anakin stared at her from the bed, a big smile on his face. “Fun? I thought that’s what we’ve been having these past few days.” His smile crooked, suddenly becoming mischievous. “Personally, I thought last night was more than fun.”
Padmé smirked and threw a small cushion at him, that he managed to dodge easily. “I meant actually going out, Anakin.” She walked through the room and opened the drawers. “Have you ever been to the summer solstice celebration in Varykino?”
Anakin passed a hand through his hair, putting it in its place. “I think you know I haven’t.”
“Yes, I do know.” She nodded, placing her hands on her hips. “Which is why I think we should go.”
He arched an eyebrow. “That does sound…entertaining.” He paused for a second. “My love, have you perhaps forgotten it’s a rather public endeavour?”
“I haven’t” she replied, shrugging. “No one will mind, Ani. This isn’t Coruscant. We just need to make sure we blend in with everyone else.”
He laughed a hearty laugh. “Well, that might be easier for some than for others.”
Padmé had been looking over her many dresses, but stopped mid-action when she heard her husband. She looked over at him. “Yeah, alright, fine.” She said, “So what if I occasionally take my clothing seriously? I can adapt!”
“Can you, really?” Anakin said, laughing as he stood up and walked to her. Suddenly she seemed so little, compared to his tall frame, but his height – and force sensitivity—weren’t that helpful in protecting him from her smacking him softly in the stomach. “Well,” he added, “Let’s accept that, for the sake of the argument, you can adapt your clothing choices. The real question, rather, is whether or not you could keep your hands off me there.”
Padmé looked him up and down, playing with her braided hair. “Wouldn’t you like to know?” she stood on her tiptoes, and placed a soft kiss on his jaw, mere centimeters away from his chin. “I guess you’ll just have to wait and see, Jedi.”
He bent to kiss her on her neck, closing his eyes as he inhaled her scent. "I thought we'd agreed not to talk about work, Senator."
She closed her eyes and placed a hand on his head as he pressed his lips right on her skin. "You're right. My deepest apologies. I... I don't know how I could forget." He raised his head and they pressed their foreheads together. "The truth is, Ani, I become slightly lightheaded and forgetful when I'm with you."
He smiled. "Well then, my love, I'll help you remember."
Padmé mirrored his gesture. "I bet you will."
#anidala#anakin skywalker#padme amidala#skyberrie#fanfic#my fics#also i REFUSE to fall to that thing ppl do in anidala fanfics where anakin keeps calling padme 'angel'#like. no. i'm sorry. he's never used that as a nickname for her#i'm a bit radical about that lmao#he calls her either padme or my love and i think that's neat#i have to admit there was one time where i thought *she* could call him babe#but then i hesitated and I didn't#anyways.#enjoy lmao#i have a couple more ideas for this so i'll add to it#its going to be a few short stories about them in Naboo having fun in the solstice celebration. nothing too crazy#also. padme is a weird feral 20 something yo girl and that's how she's in this#i refuse to see her any other way#he's completely batshit crazy but so is she

Why can't we just love eachother and help eachother and cry for eachother when we hurt and laugh for eachother when we're happy. What happened to radical acceptance and beauty. Why are we self-separating using white suppremist ideas about identity. The idea someone needs some pure property to be worthy of adopting a community is point blank a white suprematist idea. Where is the understanding of mistake and pain.
We are so alone and isolated in this generation and we are playing directly into the interests of those in power by further self-separating. Focus on some important fucking shit.
#essentially#get class conscious#explore spirituality#and understand that a human being is an astounding phenomenon and every single one is amazing and terrifying#and is worth the effort of understanding#and accepting#ok yeah I had 6 shots at 3pm whatever#but fr the time someone cut me off bc I said I don't care about hehim lesbians#like in real life#crazy shit (they later apologized which was sick as fuck of them)#just the fact it spills out beyond the internet is horrible and the internet isn't great itself#bc it could otherwise be utilized as an extremley effective tool for praxis#were it not for infighting#like. i know a lot of white queers who avoid 'straight' seeming poc or jocks or whatever the fuck#idk I understand anxiety fully#but if u continue to stay within a social comfort zone#you will never see the beauty of expression possible within humanity#and placing more value on queer white friends than a straigh black friend..... not great. it's not great.#implicitly aligning with your anxiety or discomfort over how another person operates#not great#I've seen queer white ppl treat homeless ppl like SHIT bc ' my anxiety!!'#its fucked up#and it makes me understand why certain demographics see queerness as a rich white phenomoneon (it's not but it makes me understand how ppl#can accept such a ridiculous narrative)#bc white queers such as myself only experiment with radical thought and action within the comfort of whiteness#anything outside that it's the same old white attitude towards others#idk like. what do u do when u meet a homeless guy who is antivax and scizo#do u jsut write him off as a loony conservative? anti lgbt? what do u do?#I've seen this contradiction arise and I'm#just deeply ashamed of how my community is prone to reacting

i've got stuff to do tonight but i am thinking about how it absolutely fucking pains me to see the joy and energy and love of living sapped from constantine's spirit over the initial run of hellblazer. like he goes from this spirited, wisecracking, life-loving, bully-punching, fastidious little guy to a man so disintegrated by decades of grief and being used and never being good enough for anyone that he was willing to be buried alive to serve a cause he didn't even care about. thank god they gave him back some friendly connections and some semblance of hope by the end of "red right hand", because that late-hellblazer constantine was utterly unrecognizable and it broke my heart.
#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS.#now let's be real: this shift was 90% that shitbird azzarello's fault#because that loser could not BEGIN to fathom the radical kindness and open queerness of early hellblazer and he didn't even fucking try#and his writing stained the character for YEARS because so many after him continued with that Macho Quasi-Devil image#and there is a LOT of his run that i categorically refuse to take as text#but from an in-universe perspective? seeing constantine crumble over time like that? fucking Oof#the beast of eden + rosacarnis + the gift/cheryl dying were really a turning point for him. they were his last straw#and i always like to read 'red right hand' with the grieving process close to mind because that's his depression + acceptance stage#the point where he finally finds something to live for again and starts to climb back out of his spiral#anyway shoutout to si spurrier for bringing some of john's love of the little things in life back to his run bc FUCK was it some fresh air#acknowledging all his trauma and all he's lost while still giving him moments of levity? Bless#idk does any of this make sense? i've been on a reread and losing my mind as always

Quentin for the bingo game
my garbage boyfriend. remember the uhhh one time he was given good characterization post Morrison and then marvel ignored it? yeah.
#the white noise one is specifically in a plural way since we have a quentin fictive#tbh quentin is all about the wasted potential to me#he could be so good actually but :/#and honestly i really hate the way fandom misinterprets him specifically in the Morrison run#like yes he has a problematic history there but he was never a fucking neo nazi!!#he was mad that xavier was siding with humans after he had to watch a whole nation of his people get murdered!!#i dont mind ppl who simply find him annoying (youre not wrong#he really is an annoying bitch)#but pls dont act like he was bigoted when he was simply a traumatized kid who was also fucking radical like he coined 'magneto was right'!!#ignoring of course morrisons thoughts on magneto 😭#x men#quentin quire
