i wanna talk about this portrayal of sally jackson and how it feels notably younger than the 2010 movie or even the musical. obviously her age is never explicitly stated there or in the books, but mama was sitting on the fire escape in the rain listening to olivia rodrigo and thinking about her ex. she's giving big 30-something millennial energy and i think that's so important in the context of HER story as a young mother alone in the world just trying her best. i think percy paints her as this angelic, caring, gentle presence that can do no wrong but the pov shift in the show lets us see her rougher edges, the places where she wasn't always perfect. and maybe im reading too far into this but if you reframe her and percy's relationship within the context of her being that young, of them reaching this quasi-gillmore girls space of "you are my baby but you're also my best friend and all i have in this world" idk it just feels a lot deeper somehow, like they're giving sally more dimension and development earlier on and i'm so excited to see her arc progress in future seasons

wyll insists that it's HIS choice to make the pact and to leave the city. bc owning it as his choice means he can rationalize some sort of control over it. acknowledging it as anything else would mean that he was forced into it. that it's not actually his fault. that it's mizora's fault (which he does acknowledge) but more importantly that his father did him wrong. and that idea just Does Not Compute. so. rather than realizing and accepting that his father is human and made mistakes and hurt him, wyll would rather just take all the blame and make it his choice.
and being on the road constantly fighting battles meant he probably never had to sit down and think about the Implications of what happened to him. add the fact that he literally could not speak the truth for seven whole years. he had to fill in the gaps. more and more rationalizing to make it make sense to others and to himself. it's free emotional repression

I’m just thinking about how satisfying it was to have a kids show say “no, you aren’t as bad as the villain even though you may have done similar things because it’s not just about what you do but why you do them” For King’s dad to tell Luz that they are different from Belos because they were acting out of love and care versus his pure hate is such a nice change of pace in a kids show? The actions were still recognized as harmful, but there was recognition of intent and a grey area in why we do the things we do. Idk i’m sure if i took the time to sit down and think through my thoughts I could say plenty more about how this speaks to different schools of ethical thought and why many argue that it is not just the result of actions but the intent of the actions. but also how intent does not make the harm disappear. and the importance of recognizing the nuance and circumstance of individual acts rather than trying to apply a generic formula to judge how ethical a given thing is.

"neurospicy" reeks to me a bit like those articles etc that are like YOUR ADHD SUPERPOWER!!!
and sure, if you can be positive about that stuff that's fine, but it kinda. diminishes what it actually *does*?
With depression at least there's not many people going "you know that there is studies that people with depression are better at decision making". Here it's understood that it SUCKS, even if people often can't really conceptualize the extend of it ("I get sad too! You should try yoga that helps me").
With ADHD, there seems to be this idea that it makes you REALLY GOOD at some things? Or is kinda. quirky and fun behavior overall? Either people think it's not real or that it means you are a bit more distractable and spontaneous, kinda... manic pixie dream girl ish, when for me the reality of it is that 1. everything is hard and 2. I can't build habits to help me with it and that this is 3. exhausting as fuck.
Like sure, I can get a ton of stuff done in a blind panic, but I manouver myself into situations where I HAVE TO so frequently? It's not a power its. the consequence of my actions

the way zutara is categorised as the fanon pairing with the hothead and the righteous female shouldering the responsibility of his male rage make no sense.
Especially when in canon the vast majority of notable k*taang moments in the later seasons which aren't based around aang finding katara hot instead feature katara having to talk and hold aang down from the avatar state or stop aang from blowing up ("overreacting? if I hadn't blocked my chakra I'd probably be in the avatar state right now!" / "We're trying to help you-" "Well when you figure out a way to stop the Fire Lord without killing him, I'd love to hear it-" "aang! don't walk away from this-!").
Then, paralleled, the majority of zutara moments feature katara blowing up and zuko patiently hearing her out, or zuko being angsty and katara either lightly teasing him for it, or recognising that he in turn needs patience (e.g. Ember Island Players teasing vs. outside Iroh's tent).
idk, its funny. and by funny I mean kinda annoying, and by annoying I mean-

I feel like people dont lean into just how complicated dick and jasons relationship could and should be.
Give me these two boys who were thrown together, who didn't really fit together or get along, whose age gap was just a little too big for them to fully understand each other when they met, forced into this role of brothers even when they didnt feel that way.
Give me a young jason todd, so confused and annoyed that the guy who's supposed to be his big brother, his mentor won't even come home once a week to have dinner, who doesn't talk to him, and ignores everything he does.
Give me a hurt dick grayson, who is so angry with bruce and pissed off at the idea of being replaced that he just cant look at his new brother, even though he doesn't blame him.
Give me a dick grayson who never fully saw jason todd as his brother until it was too late.

One my favorite things about this episode was Stede Fucking Bonnet.
He went back, technically, in his character arc. He went from being The Gentleman Pirate, Ned's killer, the toast of the town, to... Stede. Our Stede. The one who is already adequate. The one that is enough. A bit cringe, seeking words of affirmation. He is not the best fighter, but he will put himself in danger to help the woman who just humiliated him. He is going to be in charge of the outfits and come up with cool names. He is the glue, the captain that doesn't treat you like an employee and tells you you have a lovely name.
That's Stede Bonnet. He is silly and bad at many things, but he brings the pirates together, he is brave, he is kind, even while being a bit of a cunt. He went back to being himself but better, he learned. Now, he is not afraid to kill but would rather talk. He knows Ed loves him, that "the house" is messed up but has good bones, a good foundation.
He is not over everything, but he's much more stable in his own identity. I'm so glad we got to see him again.

thoughts on hisui
I just need to verbalise
---------- I can't unsee a moment in the comic where Peach is running for her life, like, literally pegging it as fast and as far as she can go, barely dodging, even being clipped by attacks being fired off by something VERY persistent.
Her mind tracks back in the chaos of the moment to Plum, they would go running, it was always such a chore for Peach but she joined in to humour her, even though she wasnt built for that, and she'd hear Plum nag her that sometimes running away is your only option, fighting everything will get her hurt, or worse killed. Greys there saying his gears good, really good! But it can't block it all, and that Plum is right.
Peach should have listened to them, should have run more, built up her endurance to long distance sprinting, Plum always outran her on flat terrain, and here she was, once again nearly being outrun by something, no gear, no protection.
When she finally gets away, whatever luck falls upon her to escape in sort of one piece, she starts running every morning. plum was right. Grey was right. sometimes running is the only option. She could stand to learn that a little better.
This gives a glimpse into the things shes missing the most, confronted with her loved ones not being there, them being right and her accepting that now, the fear of dying in the past and not seeing them again. She can't let that happen.
Readers will get a rare peak at behind the veil, why fighting so hard has a purpose for her.
Eventually Rei joins in with her running every morning with her pokemon, he's like Plum, has a nack for it, long legs, and it takes him little time to gain the stamina, overtakes peach in a flat race after 4 months. She looks at him ahead of her on the trail they run, he'd looking back laughing, joyous, and she sees Plum and Grey in him.
Rei's warm and jolly like Grey, and cocky and speedy like Plum. It's a weird realisation that Peach's pulled someone so similar into her orbit.
It's that moment that she realises exactly why she'd kill for the kid.

Tumblr media
literally so much to discuss regarding the art form itself tying into the act of worshipp holy shittt

How do I get others to understand I'm not trans because I enjoy extensive femininity. I'm not trans because I absolutely abhor masculinity (I mean, don't get me wrong, not a fan of it, but its just a part of life, know what I mean?). I'm not trans because I need to feel special or have special treatment. I'm not trans because I think I'll look better as a girl. I'm not trans because I'm bi. I'm trans... because when I look deep inside and I think of myself as a man I feel like dying, and when I think of myself as a woman I feel like life is worth living. I'm trans because I'm more comfortable thinking of myself and being seen as a girl. I'm trans because I feel more at home in the "roles" women exist in on this world. I'm trans because I do prefer femininity to masculinity, even if I'm not extreme in that preference. I'm trans because I feel at home when I can be a woman. I'm trans because I want to live a life worth living, and for me, that means being who I want to be; and who I want to be is Madison.

Hero!Ghoap x God!Reader brainrot
Had some insane brainrot while listening to music, this is going to be word vomit but like, i have to share it w/ yall and i didnt read this back so it may be a lil wonky (first cod post too wow) idk man its bad but whatever
Tumblr media
Reader being a lesser known god who only has a few shrines and a tiny group of worshippers and hero!ghoap being incredibly well known and strong fighters who stumble across one of your shrine while looking for a place to rest. maybe it's abandoned or something but while theyre resting they investigate you and your history and end up leaving you some offerings for letting them have safety while healing up. Maybe you get a little excited cuz the heros all the gods are talking about are leaving you gifts!! just for being kind!! hehe you send them a sign that you are watching over you and helping them as much as you can even after they leave your shrine to continue their journey <33 you only have a few followers so you can actively pay attention to ghost and soap unlike the other gods who are so so busy. Ghost notices first that youre always watching over them when he starts seeing your associated animals and plants everywhere they go (can be whatever you want but im picturing a type of bird) and ghost feels unsure if its actually you but after it becomes a pattern he points it out to Soap who had a feeling they were being tailed as well. Now they start gathering little trinkets after their battles and leaving them in places that remind them of you like flower fields or by rivers. I feel like soap would become such a devoted follower so quickly while ghost is still a little wary, he doesnt know your intentions and there is barely any information about you out in the world. I think a few weeks or months later ghost would join soap in being one of your most devoted followers. I feel like they would create you an altar near where you live or move closer to the original shrine they discovered you at <33
also thinking about how they would react if you disappeared, specifically a war broke out between the gods and you get gravely injured and in a panic descend to earth by the boys' shrine before passing the fuck out. just the boys showing up to leave offerings but seeing you bleeding out on the altar, they both rush to you can try to stabilize you the best they can from experiences when patching each other up,,, once they clean you up they bring you back to their home and placing you in their bed, they sit next to you discussing what the fuck happened and who they have to hurt to get you justice.
maybe ill write more later but yeah hope yall liked my mess of an idea
