#is against her better interests
Text
this is a half baked thought but it compels me how the potc rpc (me included) latches onto port royal as a place for worldbuilding / domestic storytelling / etc because it exudes permanence and structure as opposed to places like tortuga and shipwreck cove which are transient by nature, and full of residents in transit, and ghosts, and stories. ships, not homes.
#theres certainly an element of ''what does civilization / family / community look like in colonial society?'' that i am not immune to but i#at least attempt to address in my writing#but i also think theres something interesting in writing in a place that's post earthquake - post an image of looking like tortuga#and is building an idea of what it sees itself as ( not unlike the later seasons of BS and the new nassau )#and casting off the idea of the old privateers and the old england that was more than happy to buddy up with the privateers#to .. finding places in the New World Or Perish so to speak#✘; I HAVE SEVENTY TWO EXAMS AND I HAVE NOT STUDIED FOR ONE ( ooc )#what we dont really get a sense of in the movies (which for obv reasons cast PR as the naval & civilized foil to tortuga)#is that countless numbers of the other residents would have to adapt their ways of life as maritime communities once england decides piracy#is against her better interests#the merchants who counted on patrons with stolen spanish gold - the carpenters and suppliers who are now fitting naval ships instead of#pirate vessels. the sex workers who – rather than depending on gold windfalls from pirates – are dependent on the unreliable pay given to#their naval clientele#there's a whole new crop of work that pops up post piracy act (namely the local justice system for hanging pirates) but it interests me to#think about how that sharpening divide between legal and illegal naval violence catches civilians in the crossfire#rather than ONLY the sailors / pirates / privateers / etc themselves

desperately need people to understand that alicent is a victim but she’s also an abuser and a perpetrator
that she actively makes choices to harm other women because of jealousy and envy and the greed deep in her bones because submitting to suffering didn’t get her what those women fight to grasp for themselves.
she is absolutely a victim, in show.
that doesn’t change that she abused rhaenyra and her children, her own son, most likely helaena given how she flinches every time her mother touches her, and is actively weaponizing the patriarchy of westeros against other women- rhaenyra primarily, but also mysaria and dyana.
she isn’t the moral, righteous force of good that even she thinks she is, she’s a wounded woman directing all of the rot, pain, and fury inside her at the wrong people and forces.
#anti team green stans#anti team green#anti alicent hightower stans#i don’t wanna say it’s anti alicent bc honestly it’s more ‘accept her for who she is bc she’s so much more complex and interesting when you#but i made this bc someone genuinely tried to say that the reason people hate her is that they don’t see her as a victim#most rational people know show!alicent is a victim#it’s the point that’s she’s an abuser as well#that makes them dislike her#that she’s a hypocrite and a traitor#i don’t even like young alicent bc i don’t at all think she was a good friend to rhaenyra#‘it’s not your place to question the plots of lords and men’ to the named heir#dismisses rhaenyra’s hopes and idealism entirely out of hand#is baffled that rhaenyra is more worried for her fathers happiness and mother’s wellbeing than her position#she knew as early as ep 3 that otto was conspiring against rhaenyra and never told anyone#condemns ‘targaryen customs’ only to wed her daughter to her son even younger than she was when otto dangled her before viserys#acts entitled to rhaenyras secrets whilst condemning and judgemental even though she did not give rhaenyra that same courtesy#made no attempt at apology for the insensitive comment of aegon’s birth#though rhaenyra DID try to apologize for the ‘imprisoned in a castle’ line and tried to comfort her#uses her power as queen to push past the space rhaenyra is trying to create because she feels heartbroken and betrayed#rhaenyra took part in alicent’s culture with prayer at alicent’s urging because she cared about alicent and alicent was trying to help her#alicent is never once shown to return that favor instead condemning it for ‘queerness’ and growing to later#erase and remove all targaryen and valyrian heraldry from the red keep to replace with her own#like alicent is a victim and i DO have empathy for her. but i don’t like her and never will#especially not after the way her stans behave#she deserved better than otto’s machinations and viserys’…. viserysness#but that can also be true whilst i condemn her actions and behaviors

"[Elizabeth Woodville's] piety as queen seems to have been broadly conventional for a fifteenth-century royal, encompassing pilgrimages, membership of various fraternities, a particular devotion to her name saint, notable generosity to the Carthusians, and the foundation of a chantry at Westminster after her son was born there. ['On other occasions she supported planned religious foundations in London, […] made generous gifts to Eton College, and petitioned the pope to extend the circumstances in which indulgences could be acquired by observing the feast of the Visitation']. One possible indicator of a more personal, and more sophisticated, thread in her piety is a book of Hours of the Guardian Angel which Sutton and Visser-Fuchs have argued was commissioned for her, very possibly at her request."
-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight's Widow", "Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, Dynasty"
#historicwomendaily#elizabeth woodville#my post#friendly reminder that there's nothing indicating that Elizabeth was exceptionally pious or that her piety was 'beyond purely conventional'#(something first claimed by Anne Crawford who simultaneously claimed that Elizabeth was 'grasping and totally lacking in scruple' so...)#EW's piety as queen may have stood out compared to former 15th century predecessors and definitely stood out compared to her husband#but her actions in themselves were not especially novel or 'beyond normal' and by themselves don't indicate unusual piety on her part#As Laynesmith's more recent research observes they seem to have been 'broadly conventional'#A conclusion arrived at Derek Neal as well who also points out that in general queens and elite noblewomen simply had wider means#of 'visible material expression of [their] personal devotion' - and also emphasizes how we should look at their wider circumstances#to understand their actions (eg: the death of Elizabeth's son George in 1479 as a motivating factor)#It's nice that we know a bit about Elizabeth's more personal piety - for eg she seems to have developed an attachment to Westminster Abbey#It's possible her (outward) piety increased across her queenship - she undertook most of her religious projects in later years#But again - none of them indicate the *level* of her piety (ie: they don't indicate that she was beyond conventionally pious)#By 1475 it seems that contemporaries identified Cecily Neville as the most personally devout from the Yorkist family#(though Elizabeth and even Cecily's sons were far greater patrons)#I think people also assume this because of her retirement to Westminster post 1485#which doesn't work because 1) we don't actually know when she retired? as Laynesmith says there is no actual evidence for the traditional#date of 12 February 1487#2) she had very secular reasons for retiring (grief over the death of her children? her lack of dower lands or estates which most other#widows had? her options were very limited; choosing to reside in the abbey is not particularly surprising. it's a massive and unneeded jump#to claim that it was motivated solely by piety (especially because it wasn't a complete 'retirement' in the way people assume it was)#I think historians have a habit of using her piety as a GOTCHA!' point against her vilification - which is a flawed and stupid argument#Elizabeth could be the most pious individual in the world and still be the pantomime villain Ricardians/Yorkists claim she was#They're not mutually exclusive; this line of thinking is useless#I think this also stems from the fact that we simply know very little about Elizabeth as an individual (ie: her hobbies/interests)#certainly far less than we do for other prominent women Margaret of Anjou; Elizabeth of York;; Cecily Neville or Margaret Beaufort#and I think rather than emphasizing that gap of knowledge her historians merely try to fill it up with 'she was pious!'#which is ... an incredibly lackluster take. I think it's better to just acknowledge that we don't know much about this historical figure#ie: I do wish that her piety and patronage was emphasized more yes. but it shouldn't flip too far to the other side either.

i honestly do feel that eiffel's disrespect for authority and willingness to complain are positive traits. in terms of 'these are things i value in real people', but also for what it represents and what he's resisting within the narrative of wolf 359.
it's notable in the face of cutter's personal philosophy and goddard's corporate culture (pryce & carter #5, etc.) ... eiffel won't just accept anything, he won't do his job with a smile (he might not do his job at all, but either way, he reserves the right to be upset about it), he won't learn to compartmentalize. he will complain. he will keep on complaining. he values emotional honesty, and actively encourages others to express their feelings, especially the ones that aren't goddard-approved.
no matter what happens, or how long they've been up there, he never gets desensitized, and i think there's really something about someone who will keep saying 'this isn't normal, it isn't okay, i'm not okay with it, and i ask you to also not be okay with it,' even when he seems alone in saying it. their situation is horrible, and he feels everything so strongly. being able to express that is healthy, and it's human. i find it reassuring.
#wolf 359#w359#doug eiffel#you know?#it's how all of the antagonists in wolf are so good at compartmentalizing. it's cutter's particularly intense brand of toxic positivity#eiffel isn't interested in any of that. he feels how he feels and he's more than willing to express himself.#it's not just that he doesn't get desensitized either. it's that he is always surprised when other people are.#no matter how much callousness he runs up against he never stops being shocked and disgusted that other people can do that#and his emotional honesty creates a space for people who otherwise don't feel safe or comfortable enough to be honest with themselves#minkowski tries so hard to buy into the corporate culture but she's never quite got it.#and hera has internalized on a much deeper level that it's not safe for her to express her feelings#so it's just... nice that he can do that. i like him.#i like that he doesn't try to fix things for hera or tell her to feel better. he's just willing to be there and be upset with her.#to me (and i think for her) that counts for a lot.#& being good at complaining is a very attractive trait. to me.

y'know, sometimes I focus a lot on the implications of Juliana/Florian maybe possibly being Nemona's official Greatest Treasure for the semester but not fully confirmed as such, or the undertones of her wanting them to promise to be "rivals for life," when I rant er I mean discuss how it'd be really messed up if she got left behind when they transferred to Blueberry Academy in The Indigo Disc
but I can't believe "I've relished every day since you moved here" is an actual unedited line she says. I just assumed I had embellished that one in my head. nope. there's no way to misread that, no embellishment needed, she just says it! and then gets kind of embarrassed about it and she says she's gonna blush when they say either variation of "you too"
not to be like "there is no platonic explanation for this," because there totally is, but if she's going to be shipped with anyone I think it's really hard to justify it being with anyone else as long as the player character is in the picture
#pokemon sv#pokemon#nemonaposting#nemona#julinemo#especially when let's be real she spent half of her time with the other teen characters arguing and being rejected insulted and ignored#to really hammer home the idea that florian/juliana are special to her for fully accepting her as she is not just for being strong#being a rival and true equal to her that she doesn't need to hold back against is just a metaphor for letting her unmask around them#yeah the rough start does make her eventually becoming friends with Arven and Penny despite still bickering fun and interesting#and it'd be cool if the friend she had such a strong bond with was an actual character with a story who made more of their own decisions#but one of the decisions they do make on their own that you can't go against is that they like her from start to finish so yeah#this game's writing is not groundbreaking but it does reward paying attention while being main series pokemon and i'm proud of em for that#and inspired by how much better it still could be#can i just go into hibernation until the DLC is finished#also for those unfamiliar this is pokemon writing so holding hands is like being married

Love how every zelda has a special interest and that special interest saves the world.
#Like whether it's piracy or history of light magic or ninjas or technology or art zelda ALWAYS gets super interested in the one thing#That'll save her and the kingdom down the line. Like oot zelda 100% idolised impa and demanded to be taught shiekah techniques#And disguise only for those skills to become vital during the 7 years link was gone.#Tp zelda had the most knowledge of light magic it's history and applications and spirits by FAR and all of those enabled her to save midna#And summon light arrows#If ww zelda was sitting pretty on an island instead of roaming the seas with a loyal crew and several cannons link would have been screwed.#If botw zelda had been allowed to pursue her fascination with shiekah tech or even science as a whole who knows what they might have manage#Ganon might not have been able to take them over at all. She might have learned to channel her power through artifacts or learned to mimic#The energy flow of the shiekah magic which is directly derived from hylia/the tf of wisdom! She wouldn't have been stranded at the mountain#When ganon attacked if she hadn't been forced up there on her birthday. She could have outfitted the champions with better weapons that#Would have been more effective against the blights. She might have unlocked the slate or the shrines. She would have been more confident#And thus less abrasive with link. They would have been able to bond sooner and faster. Link would have been more relaxed and ready.#The shiekah might have been able to rework teleportation instead of 106 years late.#I am salty about rhoam banning her. It never would have worked out well.#Never keep a zelda from her special interest okay!!!!#Like as soon as she and link got to do whatever they wanted the problem got solved within a few months.#Never tell a link to behave or a zelda she can't research#loz#legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#Totk#loz totk#loz tears of the kingdom#Botw#loz botw#breath of the wild#Zelda#princess zelda#loz zelda#loz link

You ever learn something new about one of your hyperfixations and your brain just explodes with disconnected threads of creative energy?
@jonquilclegane, you have blessed me with that this weekend!
#i know ive been thanking you on the thread to the point that it might be getting weird but like#i’m suddenly obsessed with thinking about how to integrate Sigyn into the modern comics or the mcu#in a MUCH BETTER way#whereas before i realized she existed as anything more than a cameo in one of the Pride comics#i was indifferent to her showing up in the comics at this point#and even somewhat against it in the mcu with all the other potential love interests running around#but now not only have you changed my mind#(and given me more reasons to be pissed with vintage (and current) marvel)#i have IDEAS#loki#sigyn#loki’s love interests#seriously if you have not seen their additions to the love interests post please go read it

tired of 'vortex is the only girl on the combaticons'. what if brawl is the only girl on the combaticons. what then
#red rambles#MORE GIRLS WHO WIN BARE KNUCKLE BRAWLS AGAINST CIS MEN AND WEIGH APPROXIMATELY 3000 POUNDS THANK YOUUUU#this isnt serious obviously all of the combaticons can be girls and/or not girls at will. i just don't think Scary Hot Evil Girl is that#interesting. my dad and my brother and i watched suicide squad and i have been entirely sated on Wacky Scary Evil Girls for the next like#six months or something. its just not that interesting. there are better ways to do this out there#if you can only have one girl etc etc etc#also frankly if we're talking idw it should be swindle bringing gender home from dealings with aliens. first with she/her pronouns then wit#weirder alien genders. trying them out like new paint and putting them on to help his customers feel at ease. and then it should just get i#into their groundwater until suddenly onslaught is using ze/hir pronouns and blast off is identifying with a fifth gender from an alien#mushroom species that has a gender about going to space. and so on#but that's asking a lot from a 'four guys one girl' lineup fan

Another Imogen flashback post Order 66. Finally got around to writing her bleed her master’s kyber crystal🩸🖤
Shadows seemed to swallow every corner of the small room apart from the meditation circle Imogen kneeled in. Even there, dark wisps reached across the edges like tongues of flames that burned ice cold. Her master’s lightsaber lay just before her on the stone floor. Dim illumination from the handheld lantern shined clearly in the chrome hilt, reflecting a distorted image of the young Padawan’s ghost of an expression.
No longer a Padawan. No longer a Jedi at all.
Imogen reached out to her connection with the Force and lifted the weapon until it floated at level with her chest. Her form remained as still as a statue as she disassembled the lightsaber with her mind piece by piece, pulling each component apart with meticulous precision. A vibrant blue light ignited in the darkness as the Kyber crystal emerged from its chamber. So strong and pure was its glow. Imogen took a very long minute to allow the brightness within her one last time.
The light never sat well with her.
Imogen’s hand slowly extended and the crystal came down to suspend above her palm. Rejna, the Order, the Republic – all of them so desperate for the war to end that they mistook peace for sovereignty. No one stopped to consider the price for their self righteousness until the Temple burned. Now all that remained were the ashes of her brethren in a hollowed out tomb.
Though, they were not her family. Not really. Not once did she feel accepted in their halls. To Imogen, the Temple had always been a tomb – her final resting place where the shadow of a life she could have had haunted her.
The cobalt blue of the crystal flickered.
Imogen thought of every moment her master lectured her. Rejna, so dutiful and virtuous. If only she had seen her apprentice as anything other than a problem to be solved. No matter the lengths of Imogen’s efforts, she simply could not change the look of disappointment written in stone on her master’s face. Rejna’s eyes always gave it away. There had been a gleam about them, so subtle that Imogen convinced herself she had imagined it more than once. Rejna looked at Imogen like she knew she would fail, but refused to admit defeat in her role as Master. In doing so, she resigned the two of them to a fate worse than death. That is, until Imogen plunged her blade into Rejna’s heart and freed them both.
Bleed, Imogen commanded in her mind. Bleed for her.
A dot of crimson appeared at the center of the crystal and pooled outwards, gradually infecting its old light. Then she pictured the vacant expression on her master’s face as her eyes – finally devoid of all judgment – stared lifelessly up at the Temple arches. Whatever Rejna may have been, she was all Imogen had. She did not wish for her master to suffer. Her actions had been merciful. But now, in the cold, dark room, Imogen was truly and utterly alone.
Her pain brought forth a couple of stray tears. They quietly rolled down her cheeks and dropped off her chin. It was so silent in the room that she thought she might have heard them fall onto the stone beneath her knees. Imogen and the crystal were one in the same. Each suffered from a heart that dripped scarlet.
Bleed for me.
The blood red heart in the crystal released one more pulse of energy before it completely consumed what once powered a weapon of peace. With her mind, Imogen set the old saber components aside and assembled a new hilt. A sharp emitter. A sleek handle. Gilded electrum and smooth greel wood, contrasted with dark metal. The red Kyber crystal perfectly slotted into its chamber and with that, Imogen fused it all together.
The lightsaber gently landed in her palm as she stood. She waved her other hand to extinguish the light of the lantern. Now bathed in total darkness, her fingers gripped the saber tightly, and she ignited it. A red so deep and brilliant coruscated across all surfaces of the room. Imogen was mesmerized by the blade. She gave it a few swings, its hum vibrant and invigorating in her ears.
It finally felt right.
Imogen could not wait to put this new weapon to use. Together, they would do magnificent things.
#oc insp: imogen kol#my writing#always been fascinated by this process and seeing it in survivor made my brain go brbrbrbr#I never really considered Imogen as a Sith (she’s more of a fallen Jedi) but apparently fallen Jedi bleed their OWN crystals#but Sith bleed crystals form Jedi they’ve killed#which is really interesting in this case tbh#and yes this is the lightsaber she still wields present time#I can’t see her wielding anything else tbh#i floated the idea of her purifying the crystal eventually but decided against it#her keeping a red blade is very symbolic to her#she may start doing better things but she will always accept the darkness within her and her lightsaber is the representation of that#fun fact! she's like 16 here and this is the last time she cries :)#until I figure out a way to really break her :))

Twissy wasn’t a redemptive story, it never was, it was a tragedy the whole time. Missy was not redeemed, Missy wasn’t trying to make up for past wrongs, she was trying to be the doctor’s friend again. The doctor who was, the whole time, saying that being rewarded for goodness voids the action. So if missy is trying to be good for him, to be his friend, then it doesn’t count because of his rules.
The story was a tragedy the whole time, it wasn’t a redemption arc because Missy’s trying to be his friend, being a better person is a consequence of that, it is not the active motivation in her arc. She even tells him, quite bitingly, that her idea of goodness is very much contrary to his, which tells us that in following his lead she is genuinely not trying to be a good person, merely his friend.
The doctor did in fact shoot himself in the foot here with his arrogant and short-sighted views on virtue, true, but nothing can ruin Missy’s redemption because she never once got redeemed and even she’d agree with me on that one, imo.
#dw shit#not to say she didn't improve as a person but it was still a consequence!!! of her separate goal!#not her actual goal!#if it were her goal to genuinely be a better person#she'd act against him#and we know that bc she tells us so#being sad at something you once did is not redemption#it just means you feel regret#basically if the show wanted me to view it as a redemption arc they should have written one#and not what they did#Mostly i'm sick of the shortsightedness of fandom being??? surprised??? they didn't stop the master being a villain#like... did you Honestly think they'd do that? or did you honestly think they'd killed them off for good?#that's some doctor level self deception. the master is a fan favourite. them being capable of goodness#makes it interesting bc it's not a foregone conclusion they will be evil#All the time#keeps it from being boring#but the master ending as missy would be the. Worst. the Worst. ending for the character yikes#dw meta

I just think it’s silly that so many people complain about Villain Amaya as “wasted potential” and that “we were robbed” like-
My pals, post canon fan fiction is right there. The desire to free her husband is right there. Either by touching an evil book while being too eager to remember the obsidian oil, or being possessed by contact (ie what she believes is true loves kiss) when trying to reason with him in the dungeon.
We don’t need a rewrite, we can have a continuation. Both can be true. Amaya is a complex character, she can handle it.
#Wish#Queen Amaya#I assume I'm going to get hate for this but like#I know it's not store bought and you have to still make it yourself but also#I'm kind of just tired of seeing a lot of people sh*tting on Wish because it's not the concept art#And I'm kind of over here like how about we love it recognize it has flaws and THEN try to make something new without bashing the OG?#I just love Amaya and she definitely deserves more#but her good character is so interesting and complex#she still knows how to have fun. She still can be sassy or bite.#Like she's still Magnifico's perfect partner you know? and Magnifico isn't perfect?#A truly pure person wouldn't click with Magnifico the way Amaya does...?#I would rather build on Amaya's character than say she can only be good and boring or a villain?#Amaya is so smart yall. I know you can't see it all just on the movie but like she's read every magic book in Magnifico's library#THOUSANDS OF BOOKS.#And knows basic protection spells#She's a devoted leader.#Like.#Idk#She both loves her husband and recognizes that she has to go against him.#She doesn't /turn/ on him. She addresses his flaws and tells him that it's not okay?#She still jokes with him even though she has to put him in time out. She's complex and strong and wise and kind.#And I just hate seeing so many people so quick to just say 'the concept art was better' when like... the idea might be more appealing to yo#But I hate the level of cynicism and pretentiousness I see of people saying their personal ideas of what Wish should be-#-Is better than the piece of media they claim to care about?#Like their personal vision of Wish based exclusively off the concept art is somehow intellectually superior?#And I'm not saying stop doing your rewrites or AU's or anything! Like there's definitely beautiful creativity happening!#I just hate seeing people so negative and like honestly mean. It hurts my heart to see everyone calling Wish garbage?#It's not great but I really really dont think it's as bad as everyone is saying. Like its no like Oppenheimer but it's a children's movie..#Like I personally love the Teens and Amaya#And everyone saying they stink makes me sad... Because they're just great characters?

there's a podcast i like thats focused on leftist theory through a christian lens (which i just think is really interesting, given how many christians you meet that are loudly anti-communist and for some reason are convinced jesus would love capitalism) and i just saw a tweet thread they made saying that, for Lent, they want to give up the US blockade against Cuba (so theyre spending the next 40 days writing letters to biden and their local reps and encouraging others to do the same)
i am delighted i bought all those stamps at costco because i am gonna be writing some goddamn letters to our dumbfuck government
#anime life#they shared a google doc they wrote about how to write the letters and some ideas of what to say#my local rep is verrrrry conservative and '''''christian'''''#and in the google doc they pointed out that the past 3 popes and the world council of churches#have all called for the US to end the embargo#do i think this will get through to cathy mcmorris rogers?? no because she has brain worms#but i still think it'll be fun for me to insist that my gay trans ass is better at being christian than her#when im an atheist#anyway if anyone wants the google doc or the zine these guys made abt christian solidarity w cuba#i can share#but like. obviously theyre very christian lmao#again i am an atheist but being raised catholic in a very fundamentalist christian nation#i think hearing christian arguments against capitalism and for. things that are generally good. is really interesting and illuminating

can i say something about this battle that might make some people hate me
#i’ll say it in the tags:#i wouldnt be upset if imogen died#absolutely nothing against her (and DEFINITELY nothing against laura ofc)#i just think it could have super interesting narrative implications#first of all id just love if they actually had to face the whole no revivify thing head on#that just makes the whole situation so much more real yknow??#and from there i can see it going in two directions that id be interested to see#1) they go on a quest to find some obscure way to bring her back and it makes a cool parallel to their quest to bring laudna back#or 2) they cant and theres potential orym-laudna bonding bc orym would know how to be there for her better than anyone#obviously any pc death is DEVESTATING#but the story possibilities????? man i think it could be a catalyst for some good shit#ANYWAY she just got healed so maybe this isnt even Relevant#just having Thoughts idk#cr liveblogging#c3 liveblog#critical role#c3e67

batgirl (2008) #4
[ID: Rose Wilson as Ravager, Cassandra Cain as Batgirl, and her sister Marque all looking ahead at something off panel. They all have a disgruntled expression other than Cass due to her cowl; but one can imagine she has a similar expression (if not more remorseful than the other two's). Between Cass and Marque is a narration box that has been edited to be blank. END ID]
[ID: the same panel as above but the original, unedited version. On the brick wall behind them is Deathstroke's silhouette as he goes to strike them with a sword. There's another internal narration box (in Cass's perspective) on the wall as well and the edited box is no longer blank. Together they read: ‘I don't want to hurt them. I want to help them. But I don't have any choice. They don't want my help.’ END ID]
#lee reminded me i have SO many panels of these three to post still <33#the will power it took to edit out ‘together they mischaracterize:'#this comic is so shit but god cass your sister....#it could had so much potential. im always thinking of how cass is just such an expert fighter and how her empathy and need to save everyone#impacts everything. then tied with her wanting that family and relationship.#then having her go against someone also trained by cain and someone that doesnt WANT to be saved?#having that someone be her sister? having her sister be someone that's on the otherside of that coin in extremity?#they both will willingly die to satisfy their missions. one is of compassion. one is of vengeance.#she could been such an interesting character and the conflict of cass wanting a sister and... *marque* being it.#also GOD shes so hot. she wants to kill david cain! i want to kill david cain! she can kick my ass! im into getting my ass kicked!!!#just god marque if she had better writers and a proper storyline/characteristics#instead of an 8 issue creation to just be an issue in batgirl 2008 before being forgotten about forever and ever#usually i vouch for bg 2008 being forgotten.... but i am not immune to pretty women syndrome.....#c: batgirl (2008) i: 4#crypt's panels#posts from the crypt#cassandra cain#batgirl#ravager#rose wilson#marque

Sometimes writing inspiration strikes at the most random times for the most random things. Instead of working on any pre-existing things I have I'm writing a solid one-shot about London Tipton returning to Boston for the first time in six years and reuniting with Maddie and maybe (definitely) realizing they love each other
#whoops i watched the second part of the suite life of zack and cody video essay and my gay little brain took over#i forgot how much i cared abt their friendship back then.#also watching a playthrough of the quarry made me realize that a bob is such a good hairstyle for brenda song oughhh she's so cute#and what better way to signify that Time Has Passed And She's Grown As A Person than a cute trendy new haircut?#and man watching the recap makes me realize how much less i liked suite life on deck#nothing against debby ryan but i didn't like bailey. or rather what they made her.#i hate when an interesting female character is kept around primarily for love interest reasons#she could've been so cool on her own but i feel like she just ended up being a thing gor cody to pine over#and oh how i disliked how the twins' characters warped too#but. anyway. london and maddie are in love and i cannot and will not be convinced otherwise

there’s one of those who is bruce’s best love interest posts going around again which is always fun and migraine inducing bc of the regular talia is an abuser spiels yadda yadda but i think it is so funny how her perception has become so warped that people think she’s not right for bruce bc she doesn’t know who he is as a person and is only obsessed with batman or whatever like my dudes.. my idiotic faux savants.. there’s probably no one who knows and understands bruce both in and beyond the mask better than talia does 😭
#there are so many good reasons you could argue against their relationship. like the fact that it is literally doomed#and maybe some people aren’t interesting in a doomed relationship#i think that’s utterly boring but like it’s valid ya know#but idk it’s so amusing people think she doesn’t know him well enough like she knows him very intimately lol. for better and for worse#she knows him well enough to judge him when he’s being a masochist pussy and the only other person who can hold a candle to her in that is#dick. for obv reasons. but yeah like idk it’s crazy what not reading pre morrison talia gets you. nonsense and more nonsense#anyway school starts tomorrow (derogatory)#to be deleted
