Thinking about how Victor Hugo wrote one of the most famous portrayals of prostitution that is sympathetic to the prostituted woman (Fantine from Les Miserables) and shows how she is forced by poverty to sell her body, how it clearly is a traumatic experience, and how much disrespect the pimps have for her in reality... And yet he continued constantly visiting brothels and using the women's bodies - so much so that a very famous rumor was created that all the brothels in Paris closed down to mourn him after his death... Kill all men?

I'm barely to the massacre and I can already tell I'm going to be screaming at every this-makes-no-sense decision made by the writers (your temple is under violent attack, and you evacuate the kids... to a barely enclosed corner in a prominent temple room? Instead of to the hundreds of sky bison that were highlighted as flying in earlier? Why?) (And Aang left to clear his head and think instead of to run from his duties? That's such a less compelling plot arc?) (And the show had him briefly monologue about being a goofy kid who loves pies and his friends instead of using the extended temple scene to show any of that? Didn't want to pay more child actors, did you, Netflix?)

Yeah I'm just. Going to be screaming at the screen instead of enjoying this. Different decisions aren't necessarily bad, but when those decisions seem to be in the direction of "show a man burning alive before we even get to the on-screen massacre" this is just... not the show for me.

THE father-daughter duo 😭😭

ADDING TO THE COMEDY OF "JUMP OFF THIS CLIFF W ME" LIKE. WHERE GRAMPA JUST DIED????? YOU WANT ME TO JUMP OF THE CLIFF WHERE I VERY REASONABLY ASSUME MY GRANDFATHER FIGURE JUST DIED????????????? Well. If you say so woman I just met who has melancholy tendencies. Who asked me to kill you as myself when I went dragon sicko mode and I was so so sooooo scared. You seem of sound mind 😊💖

fucking honestly~🎃

im sorry but jason and reyna are literally percy and annabeth but so much more hardcore

Me almost two years later trying upend everyone’s understanding of the van scene by insisting Mike winced as if he was holding back tears after Will turned away to cry and that right as the shot ends, Mike looks up and locks eyes with Jonathan

I can’t believe Taryn betrayed Jude even after the whole Undersea shit went down. Your sister was tortured everyday for a over month, you saw all of what it did to her, and you still decide to hurt her even further? As if she hasn’t already gone through enough??

And to do it only to potentially be the most favored by their father?

Taryn: When Jude goes low, I bring her lower

they honestly couldve done so much with junpei beheaded/dismembered and im disappointed that it ended up just being mira. so much of his character and his relationship with akane is characterized by his lack of bodily autonomy, and him being openly beheaded during the nonary games would be the ultimate example of this. its perhaps the most brutal death in the game, and it never really gets explained or developed beyond the one puzzle that we get with it. junpei has been shown repeatedly to be subject to akane's plans or follow her blindly and i just think that would have been a really interesting angle to approach his beheading from. junpei has willingly signed up for nonary games in two different timelines just because he knew he would see her. he was infected with a deadly virus trying to find her. he grew desensitized to death as he took underground jobs to try and find her. his safety always comes second when shes in the picture, and his beheading wouldve been a prime opportunity to 1. exploit his willingness to let himself die/be injured for her and 2. make akane confront the fact that her confidence that junpei will always follow after her is not necessarily a positive thing.

being a shirase stan in a world full of haters is so sad😓

i pull up any au skk fic and hes always like. the shitty ex whos evil or smt LIKE NO HES JUST SILLY. did he betray and stab chuuya that one time?? yes! but its okay🙏

y'know what?

I'm glad I didn't get Old Man Wrecker because I would've literally never would've shut up about it. They knew I wouldn't be able to handle it. That would've killed me on the spot.

what a fantastic transition

Okay, sure, all of the knights of the round table after Arthur and Merlin get their shit together and finally court being like “yeah, we knew” is funny because none of them thought to tell them what they all saw, BUT

I present to you, all of them being literally so thrown off by this new development that really isn’t so new. Because they see Arthur and Merlin together all the time, sure, but only while they’re with them. They don’t see the private moments we do, or the carefully intimate conversations in the night when they’re alone in Arthur’s chambers. They don’t see Merlin smoothing out Arthur’s collar after dressing him when he doesn’t need to. They don’t see the domesticity when Merlin is polishing armour by the fire in Arthur’s chambers and Arthur is reading updates from the lower town nearby in total silence. Etc etc

Because let’s be real, all of the knights would die for Arthur or each other, that’s what being a knight is all about, so they figured that Merlin wasn’t any exception. They don’t truly realise the lengths he truly has gone for Arthur.

Leon has been around since the day these two literally MET. Merlin nearly commit regicide his second day and then saved Arthur from the sorceress by the third. Gwaine loves how Merlin doesn’t fall into line with hierarchy roles but can begrudgingly see why he’s so loyal to Arthur, cause he has his moments. Lance respects and admires Arthur a lot, especially after knighting him, which has always been his dream, and knows of the prophecy from Merlin as his one (1!!) in-the-know friend, so he suspects it’s just that. Elyan knows his sister is in love with Arthur, half of Camelot’s court ladies are for Gods sake, but she and Merlin act extremely different around Arthur, Merlin being so much more comfortable around him than Gwen, so he thinks it’s more of a brotherhood like the knights bond. Percy is a bit more perceptive of this, especially considering both Merlin and Arthur never really fall in love with anyone else around them the entire time, they’ve never seen Merlin in love period since they never met Freya, and Arthur had courted before but most of it was arranged or a product of his duty to the throne.

So when they’re like “lol guess who’s finally together” all of the Knights are collectively losing their minds, and replaying everything they’ve ever known about them in their minds since they met.

THAT is comedy

I totally agree that the revs have a drug class and iva sends them through the ringer. Sabo doesnt react to the drugs a lot, hes slightly loopy on weed and almost like normal levels of calm on heroin but everyone in the room is legit afraid of the idea of sabo on crack. Like bring dragon into the room just in case levels of calm.

Except sabo is completely normal on meth. Like Sabo is just normal Sabo when on meth they wouldnt think he wasnt sober if they'd not seen iva drug him. That somehow scared everyone more then if he'd lost his mind

😭 sabos just totally normal, dude doesnt even have a bad trip

But the aftermath is probably not great probably face down in a ditch sweating the works

Also iva put everyone through the genderbender wringer too, especially cismale soldiers and staff like it would do you well to learn a few things about being a lady

Except Sabos absolutely stunning as a woman so she just gets so much attention its detrimental to the cause

No lady sabos bc nothing gets done

as much as I can appreciate the interpretation of enjolras as being a naturally kinda quiet and calm guy, I tend to prefer the idea that he had to teach himself to be charming. he isn't necessarily cruel by nature, but he's intense. the force of his passion can scare even his closest allies as well as his enemies so he learns to file the edge of his knife sharper and smaller and sharper and smaller until he can hide it in a bouquet of flowers.

people that keep giving a platform to cait corrain should be ashamed of themselves, all she does is keep making excuses and blaming everyone else but themselves. first it was their fellow debut authors, then it was their fellow fandom buddies, now she's been on a tirade demonizing everything from addiction, depression, to autism with 0 pushback from the people interviewing her. we're really supposed to believe this time when she says that it's ADHD and her ADHD meds that apparently possessed her and made her racist. shut the fuck up
