#obviously OBVIOUSLY that doesnt mean much but still
Text
as everyone is talking about bad media literacy i want to talk about a conversation my sister had with me about barbie. minor spoilers (first ~30 mins) ahead.
now, i still havent seen barbie (i get around to watching things very, very slowly, if at all), but i knew the basic gist almost immediately based on vague internet posts.
my sister is 15 and very into that kind of diet feminism that seems radical when you’re 15 and your worst oppression is your band teacher picking the guy drummer over you (which sucks, btw, esp bc she’s objectively better and more disciplined, but like, you know what i mean). i do my best to nudge her to more critical thinking and such, but i was a 15yo diet feminist once too, i know how it goes.
anyway, with those two bits of knowledge i figured she’d like barbie, get the messaging, all of that.
she texts me that night and says “ummm so i’m watching barbie and they’re hating on cellulite a lot. like it’s one of the major reasons she’s leaving barbieland and they have a banner that says goodbye cellulite at the goodbye party”
and i was like. baffled. bc i was under the impression that she knew how movies worked. i mean, we both poke fun at our OTHER sister who can never pay attention to a movie and always ends up making us pause it to explain plot points she missed, so surely she understands story structure, right? that the protagonist has to learn a lesson? it’s fucking BARBIE. i knew months ago commentary on beauty standards was probably going to play a big role. esp bc it’s greta gerwig but i don’t think my sister knows who she is.
so admittedly i was less nice than i could have been when i was like girl you do understand the movie is about barbie leaving her perfect girl world and having to come to terms with reality, right. and learning she doesn’t have to be perfect. like. i just needed to hear “barbie leaves barbieland and goes to the real world” to put that together.
and like. i haven’t seen the movie but what she described sounds REALLY over the top. a “goodbye cellulite” banner? very unserious. would not ping in my brain as The Message Of The Movie at all.
i am genuinely concerned that my sister was worried the barbie movie (2023) was going to be all about hating cellulite and upholding beauty standards. this kid is smart. she’s 100% open to and aligned with the movie’s messaging. what about when it comes to a piece of media she’s less open to? one that presents a stance she doesn’t agree with and then doesn’t spend the rest of the movie explicitly condemning it?
#bird noises#barbie#media literacy#idk idk#maybe i’m overreacting#but it feels bad to me#shes a self-proclaimed ‘bookworm’ too so like. she reads and stuff!#obviously OBVIOUSLY that doesnt mean much but still#(i put it in quotes bc its one of her character traits that is just blatantly stolen from me and her other sister. youngest energy.#and she doesn’t actually read that much other than that time she ripped through the whole percy jackson series#sorry am i making it too obvious that we have a complicated negative-neutral relationship sorry)#anyway. back to barbie and diet feminism

you know i do wonder how many sonic characters actually have living parents. like knuckles is the last of his kind so obviously his parents arent around anymore. both guys who could be considered shadows dads are 100 percent confirmed dead. sonic is canonically an orphan im pretty sure. and on the other side of the coin cream is like the only character in the game cast who has a living parent we actually see onscreen. but what about everyone else i dont think theres a straight answer for any other character. other than rouge's mom being mentioned a couple times i Guess but we dont even know anything about her or if shes still alive just that she existed at some point. are these kids constantly putting themselves in danger because they dont have parents around to stop them or because their parents just dont care
#like what about tails. im guessing he didnt have any sort of family he was attached to if he left to be with sonic so quickly#but that doesnt really mean he didnt have parents at all. maybe he had parents and they just sucked i dont know#what about amy. what if she had parents this whole time we just never see them.#what about blaze. considering shes a princess id assume she was born into that role#but i dont know if her parents are ever actually mentioned#maybe theyre dead and there was no one else to take on their role and thats why blaze has so much responsibility at such a young age?#silver . he was born in a wet cardboard box all alone i cant really imagine him hvaing parents sorry#considering charmy is 6 and living with vector. an adult whos obviously not his biological dad.#i feel like something probably happened to charmys parents#espio i dont really question as much#becuase it feels very common in the sonic universe for teenagers to have more freedom than would be expected in real life#or maybe its not that common and the teenagers we're actually following are just living the most fucked up lives ever. i dotn know#but either way. espio where are your parents buddy. are they still alive. vector where are YOUR parents are they still alive#i dont know if i actually want canon explanations for all this though#because its kinda fun not knowing every detail about every characters life and being able to speculate and insert your headcanons n stuff#to be clear im talking about game canon#i know stuff like archie sonic and the sonic movies and the 90s cartoons will sometimes give characters new family members#or talk about their family situation even if the games dont say anything about that sort of thing

“Carmine is not the worst” and “kieran is not the worst” are statements that can and should co-exist
#Its always either “carmine did nothing wrong kieran is a stupid unhinged brat!” Or “kieran did nothing wrong carmine is literally abusive!!”#No. Theyre not. Neither of them are. Theyre just nd/mentally ill and cope with it badly#Its really not that hard come on#Also as an older sister with a younger brother a lot of the mean dialogue is pretty typical#Obviously that doesnt negate the fact that for kieran it hit him in his issues but he never spoke up about it and kept it to himself#And carmine is pretty dense and a bit in her own head so it makes sense that she wouldnt notice without being directly told#And with her specifically its made clear in dialogue throughout that she does care about her brother#She thinks about how in her mind things might affect him and chooses what she thinks is the option that wont hurt him. Though obviously#shes not the best judge there. But thats understandable she isnt very good at reading people#And kieran just doesnt know how to cope with his problems. When stuff gets too much he bursts and lashes out. A normal thing for a teenager#Obviously this now frightens carmine and she starts backing down distancing herself and generally just closes up around him#Because while she is abrasive she doesnt really *realize* she is. And its easy to see kierans abrasiveness as something inherently hostile#(Because even if he doesnt really mean it it still is aggressive)#Hey wait a second why am i infodumping about kieran and carmine pokemon in my tags#This is like the worst way to do it. Sorry cutting it short ty for reading if you did#ghosts howling

everyone will always be haunted by what they are and i believe it is far more beneficial to embrace the haunting (as long as it isn't derailing your life or others') than to strive to be a truly "balanced" person. the idea of someone who is truly equalised to the point of utter harmony is an essentially unachievable thing imo
#too nice/kind/giving and you neglect yourself. focus on yourself and you neglect others#you love things too much and it consumes you. not enough and you are numb. meditate too much and you neglect life#not enough and life neglects you. speak your mind and you are sometimes abrasive. dont and you will sometimes be a pushover#etc etc. overly academic or too unconcerned. is politics your life to the point where you ignore the small mundane things around you?#are you so unconcerned with politics that you end up unaware of critical factors that harm or help your environment#like obviously not everyone is imbalanced in everything ever but#there is at least something at least one thing (and likely many more) that haunts everyone yk#and like. i think w some of these things as long as the haunting doesnt harm you to the point of derailing your life etc its...ok to be#haunted. or else you risk no longer being who you are. change and growth are essential but sometimes when youre upset you still say things#you dont mean or when you feel in love with your friends you offer to pay for their coffee even if you dont have money. you can fluctuate#and.change and grow but sometimes its ok to be haunted by who u are.#like i think the idea of being truly in harmony as a final destination for ur being is essentially bs. why would the monks spend their lives#meditating? its an active effort yk.#youre at the dj booth. youre tuning the violin every time you play. youre constantly adjusting your glasses.

quick rant but i really don't like when in jily hcs (like their wedding or something like that) james thinks of regulus all nostalgic and what if or worst of all lowkey wishing it was reg instead of lily with him in that moment. james would not persue a relationship with anyone (certainly not with lily) without his entire heart being in it. he wouldn't date anyone as his 'second choice' because he lost his first one. he'd rather not date anyone than do that to a person. james potter doesn't just settle because he wants a relationship. he is an all or nothing guy, especially when it comes to love
(that is to say if we make it jegulily im fully on board with it but in that case it still wouldn't be a 'i rather it was regulus' it would be an equal (if maybe different) love. he would still never put them against each other or value one more than the other, that just doesn't work for him. james would rather die than give one of them less love than the other)
#obviously all of this is my opinion and you all can hc whatever you want#i just personally dont see it#it doesnt make sense to me at all#like obviously james can still think fondly of reg and still have love for him after they broke up and he got together with lily#but he wouldnt date lily unless his entire heart was in it#which means he wouldnt date lily if he still wished it was rather reg he was dating#dont make lily the second choice she deserves so much more#hp#marauders#jegulus#jily#jegulily#james potter

look ill dunk on the rise movie a little for only developing leo as a character (everyone else DID things in the plot, but their character was static/used to showcase leo’s development), i don’t deny this
but its galaxy brain to end the movie with raph center-frame and everyone chanting his name, it does the heart good. rise team slapped the top of this movie overall and said “this bad boy can fit so many important group shots with raph in the center and we love him very much” and i respect that
bonus:
#rottmnt#rottmnt movie#rottmnt raph#rise raph#when i say raph is a center of gravity in this family i mean it#not in like a ~oh he's the only important character the one who really does everything for everyone~ dumb way#like obviously theyre all important theyd be devastated losing anyone#there really is just this like energy though with raph#the pizza puffs episode jokey jokes about how his brothers take it for granted he'll always Be There and that means they'll be okay#that doesnt come from nowhere yknow that still says a lot about his role in this family#theres so much dynamic....#so much of moments where big things are moved by his brothers wanting to do for him what he's already done for them#in the movie AND the series#anyway hes my favorite#i was thinking about this all day yesterday

uugghh when you said you like aoki because of leaning towards characters in position of power I FELT THAT ASHDHFKD even since I was a kid I somehow liked the leaders of the groups the most and it HASNT CHANGED HELP (maybe its the sense of responsibility, god knows i dont have one)
stanning daigo like look at this depressed dude steering this cruiser called Tojo out of the rocks to sink gracefully at the shallows after the previous captain (cough kiryu cough) abandoned ship. You’re doing great sweetie i’m cheering you on. Keep pretending you’re all serious and know what you’re doing king 🫡
i like it when characters are evil cause its funny to my brain :) but no real shit cause Being In A Position Of Power is so tremendous and. Powerful LIKE you are responsible for so many people ... what you do with that responsibility can be frightening or benevolent and ouuuggh.....
i've gone EXTENSIVELY into why i love daigo but a major part of it is his character progression and the fact he tried so hard for the tojo until he couldnt. i wont get TOO into it lest i end up typing TWO Why I Like This Character essays in a day but how his attitude and his experiences change over time is so cool to me and i love it so much...
#long post#masadai#i mention it in these tags im tagging it for everyones sake#snap chats#like what i love about y7 is its message that 'just because someone isn't to society's standard doesnt mean they're bad#and just because someone is 'admirable' to society's standard it doesnt mean theyre good'#its a simple message but still i love seeing it#i think that's partially why i think masadai#while hilarious and unserious as hell as a concept for the most part- also weirdly appeals to my brain on a small sincere level..#maybe it's just cause arakawa was like 'hey you know what's going on in my son's brain right... you guys are like the same age....lmao'#but it's just interesting to me to see the difference in how daigo and aoki utilize their influence and responsibility#especially in the context that technically aoki is on the 'right' side of society while daigo is on the 'wrong' side#(and obviously we know aoki's terrible person while daigo's proven to be MUCH more likeable as an individual. that type of thing is always#of course they got their positions for SIGNIFICANTLY different reasons but still.... s'cool to me...

ive been disillusioned with a lot of the left for a while, it's nice to at least see that other ppl see it now, though the reason why kinda fucking sucks.
#i used to think i could trust ppl bc of pride flags in their profile or them being trans or whatever#and then i put allll of my trust in that community not realizing theres a Multitudes of types of ppl in it#aside from even the fact some trans ppl can be nazis- some trans people- as much as it might make us look bad to admit-#are also predators and abusers and want to lie to you and use you for money and sexually abuse you and dump you like trash#and then accuse you of doing everything they did @u@;; ask me how i know!#so on the one hand im happy ppl see it now- it's not that leftists or queer ppl or feminists are better ppl- ppl more worthy to trust-#they're just as diverse and as good and as shitty as any other demographic of people.#you're gonna find shitty people everywhere. obviously you're more likely to find predators on the right but that doesnt mean theres not#plenty on the left too.#at a certain point calling yourself 'on the left' doesnt mean much aside from idk. thinking ppl need basic human rights?#and even then its apparent that some leftists dont think that. so who can say. maybe you wont misgender me? but nah- you will#if i disagree w you or if we get in a fight- i've seen plenty of leftists do this.#i just think the term is useless now.#i think the left is about to fracture into different groups at this point#anyways be weary traveler of ever putting all of ye trust into any group of people.#its possible to like ppl and enjoy being around them and still not fully trust them. and if something tells you to gtfo? you should#also putting all your trust in a group of ppl is a one way ticket into possibly joining a cult on accident#or at the very least a culty friendgroup

double byler are so funny (this is actually not funny at all they make me sad) bc both pairs have relationships in which theyre very dependent on each other for emotional comfort so when theyre apart their relationships suffer pretty badly
both jancy and byler have been shown to have a bond based at least partially on shared trauma. w jancy murray even goes as far as to say its like the main reason they shld get together which. hmm. but yk more to my point. and byler constantly have heart to hearts because theyre each others emotional rock and this probably goes back further than UD shit bc wills been TraumaMan for his whole life (and feels mike is the only one who he can be emotionally vulnerable with without being babied or treated like hes weak-s2 kinda suggests mikes been there for him in Will Byers Trauma Times TM before). thanks lonnie😒😒
its v obvious w mike and jonathan actually bc neither of them seem to talk to anyone else about their issues. like will leaves and mike immediately devolves into isolating himself and straight up depression because clearly theres some family issues which prevent him from opening up abt his feelings (he hugs karen like 3 times in the whole show but he Never talks to her abt shit. despite her attempts to get him to open up that one time w her queer coded as fuck lil speech. anyway repressed lil emo mike only ever opens up with will. so no will=no talking abt emotions=unhealthy michael.)
and jonathan turns to weed (and argyle omg theyre bfs so true) because he wont turn to his family for support bc hes unhealthily selfless and doesnt want to burden them with his issues (likely due to the parentification. oh boy someone help him) but he and nancy understand each other bc theyve been through the same shit (which also means they dont feel like they burden each other bc like. u cant burden someone if theyre already sharing the weight yk?) but seperation=losing that support so their relationship, which relies so heavily on that mutual understanding, suffers.
nancy and will are doing a little better individually. because guess what: they have HOBBIES.(jon also does but he seems to have abandoned it. rip his i wanna take a pic era. and mike has d&d but in the between time between oh no wills gone and oh yay eddie my beloved, hes doing shit. and even w d&d his grades are still affected by his mental place and his rooms super messy so like. doing better but still not great.)
we see that wills super into art (which is known to be therapeutic so double woo points) again after doing it less in s3. and he seems to be specifically using it to deal w his sad gay feelings (channelling shit like the introspective king he is 🤩). also hes got people other than mike to offer emotional support. even with jonathan not available, he can still talk to joyce (st character with positive relationship w a parent❗holy shit how rare❗❗). also its will. if hes in his feels hes just gonna vibe with it. 'oh misery my best friend lets hang out for a bit 😍😍' (prolly bc jonathan put his whole jonussy into making sure will was okay w having emotions. as a part of his mission to spite lonnie. SLAY KING) compared to the wheelers who are like 'um what the fuck is an emotion ive never felt one i swear. wdym u saw me crying yesterday🤨?? no u literally didnt that was my evil twin😒.'
anyway that brings me to nancy. who. yk shes doing Okay. the second anyone brings up jon shes about to commit crimes against them so yk not totally good but coping. bc she kinda just full body throws herself at that school newspaper stuff so she has a distraction and its working okay. until her new friend-w-glasses-destined-to-die- horrifically, dies horrifically.
but then she has emotional support through surrounding herself w people who Get It. (woooo robins around and nancy feels comfortable for once!!!!) i mean shes also almost reverting to steve bc nancys trauma response is just 'i can only ever be emotionally vulnerable with romantic partners bc i havent had a friend since s1 and my family dont know shit abt the monster dimension (plus ted is actually just a cardboard cutout with a robotic voice box that blurts out 1 of 10 phrases on a timer). apart from mike. but idk hes busy crying over his bf and we can never open up to each other in a genuine way bc repression is the Wheeler Way To Slay' but yk shes at least partially coping.
but their relationships basically get totally fucked bc oh no if we cant have heart to hearts in physical proximity we are going to Die. also communication without magical telepathy through eye contact??? whos she??? (esp w byler. u cant have effective coded conversations over the phone. and theyve got all their other reasons for not talking: will doesnt wanna reach out first and have mike brush him off bc oh dear the 3x03 fight really fucked with him didnt it. and mikes desperately trying to call but for fuck sake how is their phone always busy. and he wont use letters bc idk hes too gay for that he keeps signing them w 'love mike. ps im in love w u in case u didnt get that😍😍😍')
and jancy. oof. jons like 'i have to appease literally everyone in my life apart from myself and i cant do that bc yay nancy means boo family and yay family means boo nancy so now i think i will have a crisis bc if im honest with her she will Hate me. yes i am so rational' and nancys like 'wtf is going on does he hate me or smthn. i am also totally rational' and they wont talk abt it bc theyre scared of pissing each other off. (and have no example of healthy relationships to follow)
basically. double byler are codependent in a way that isnt Necessarily unhealthy - in fact when around each other, they seem to do better Because of that reliance on each other. it allows them to be emotionally vulnerable in a way that they cant be w anyone else (even will who has like the most supportive family ever <3 still feels most comfortable being open w mike as evidenced by his talk w jon in s2).
BUT. seperation fucks over their relationships and their individual mental health. and thats where the unhealthy aspect comes in. bc over reliance on one person is gonna Fuck Shit Up. (it wouldnt be so bad if they still communicated regularly thru letters and phone calls but yk self hatred is a bitch and theyre all very insecure.)
#talking about codependency again bc when am i not#idk i just think its interesting how similar jancy and byler are#i mean it makes sense obviously. bc sets of siblings will have the same problems. but still#i love analysing these mentally unwell bitches#anyway people dismiss codependency as unhealthy all the time and i dont think thats fair bc like#shout out to my bitches whove had codependent (online) friendships based almost entirely on oh we have the same mental bs dont we#bc like. its not Healthy but that mutual understanding is unparralleled and it does make u feel better#the other half of people romanticise codependency which also not good bc like. it isnt a healthy way to live. as evidenced by s4#but i just think its neat#jancy#byler#im sorry this is so long and doesnt make that much sense but i have a lot of feelings#nyxi shut up about codependent relationships challenge#byler analysis

I am violently wrestling Evan Buckley out of Tim Minear's hands until that man can give him a love interest who doesn't just fuck off at random okay thanks.
#im . .. genuinely annoyed#by the idea that tommy is gonna be another one-and-done situation#literally what was the fucking point of it all then?#no let me guess.#tommy is going to see something at the bachelor party between buck and eddie#and decide all at once that buck is just too much for him#or that buck cant be ready for tommy because of eddie#which is such bullshit#even if there was any canon confirmation that buck likes eddie (which there HASNT BEEN. buddie shippers pipe down)#(inferrence is not the same as confirmation)#that doesnt mean that buck cannot have a meaningful relationship with anyone else#ESPECIALLY since Eddie is currently straight AND TAKEN#ESPECIALLY!!! when buck has stated bluntly that he WANTS TO BE WITH TOMMY#but no yeah this is a great fucking plan guys. give the abandonment issues baby queer MORE abandonment#GREAT writing skills you guys. really. top marks. fuck off.#look obviously i dont know what will happen#all of this is based on that one snippet saying that it looks like tommy wont be around after 7x06#but if this is another abby situation. another ali. another taylor. another natalia... then what the fuck was the point?#oliver kept telling us this would be the season where Buck breaks the cycle. but theyve still got him on that fucking hanster wheel.#coming back to this hours later bc i forgot to add actually relevant tags whoops#911 abc#911 on abc#evan buckley

i wish i wasn't so clingy with some people and so distant with others and so desperate with everyone
#it's either 'i need to talk to you every single day or else i get sad'#or 'i wont reply to you for months because idk what to say but i still love you the same even if i cant show it'#and no in between#then my fucking brain is like im so sad im so lonely i should talk to someone. but not anyone#not one of the people i love and would die for but left on read#has to be one of the people who are probably weirded out by my obsessive attachment and inability to shut up#but obviously all of them should know how important they are to me even if my behaviour doesnt show it whatsoever#and if any of them get even slightly annoyed about too much or too little contact i will Cry#because that clearly means i am the Worst Person Ever and was never meant for human relationships at all#WHY am i like this#personal#😭😭😭!!!!!!

idk if anyone has done this before but da2 au where you think at first its a both twins lived au and then find out bethany died and thats actually non-warden amell posing as her. something something escaped with jowan maybe, found her relatives in lothering, sought refuge with them and when bethany ended up dying it was way lower profile for amell to take the place of her cousin than try to get in to kirkwall with them as a non-immediate family member (especially given that leandra is publicly coming in as an amell and theres a resemblance and its known revka had mage kids taken to the circle and im sure theres a bulletin out or whatever for an escaped apostate matching amells description). points if people comment on how ‘bethany’ clearly takes after her mother. leandra is not normal about it. aveline knew the real bethany at least in passing bc of living in the same town and treats this as a reason for her distrust of hawke and co and one of the reason she sabotages carvers application with the guard.
#gamlen has fights with leandra about it and both of them are uncomfortable with the situation in their own ways#if amell ends up recaptured and taken to the gallows cullen is obviously a massive threat to her#im thinking ignore the dai retcons of his character and actually yknow. look at what his creepy dao characterization and position in the#kirkwall templars would reasonably amount to in a person and have him threaten that he can have her exposed as amell instead of bethany any#time he feels like it (and thus get her made tranquil or executed) so its up to her to try to make sure he doesnt feel like it#by doing whatever he wants her to. this is actually slightly more cunning than you would expect out of this guy but he has plenty of#other kirkwall templars to ape this particular kind of plan/behavior from. it would fit really well with a bunch of the canon stuff we see.#and much in the same way that the bethany you end up with as a non-mage hawke is fundamentally a different character than the bethany that#had another mage sibling to grow up with and thus was not as isolated and in a position to blame herself for#i think an amell that ends up in this situation is not the star student of the first enchanter. i mean she couldnt fight well enough to#affect the ogre or heal well enough to save the real bethany. and she wasnt brought on the expedition despite not having leandra's 'leave#your baby sister out of this dangerous trip' happening bc as weird as leandras relationship to a#amell is its still one where if amell could be doing something to try to prove herself useful to the family she would#if she was straight up escaping kinloch with jowan i think she had reason to believe she was more unsafe than usual in the circle#and lacked the 'safety net' of the first enchanter giving a shit about her. so. probably at risk from cullen. hah wow this is a much darker#au than i first anticipated which given the initial concept is 'emotional problems from posing as her dead cousin' centric says something

what is the dynamic between flora & musa? i struggle a lot trying to thinking of headcanons for them </3 so i want to know your thoughts about them
OUGH
BRO THEY'RE SO GOOD TRUST ME <333
They're definitely not as loud as some of the other winx pairings but they're obviously still besties! Here's just like a list of some important aspects of their friendship!!
Very supportive of each other! Obviously this is something that happens with all of them, but in terms of Musa's music specifically, you will always see Flora there hyping her up and giving her feedback. Musa also supports Flora's endeavors a lot!
Similar to the first one, very emotionally supportive of each other. I feel like this is probably one of the biggest things about them in canon! Musa tends to go to Flora a lot when she's having issues with Riven, especially if it has to do with jealousy/insecurities. And on the other side, Musa is literally always there when Flora is having issues with Helia! She's able to calm Flora down really well, in a way that some of the other winx haven't quite gotten the hang of.
At least with how they're shown in canon, they seem to be the kind of friends who just enjoy being around each other. Again, a statement that can be said about any of them, but you know what I mean! They actually have a surprising amount of scenes between them. They're just kind of always hanging out and they're very content with each other :)
They're also often with each other on missions! I'm not sure if there's an exact reason for that, maybe their powers mix really well or something?, but it happens quite a bit!
Honestly, there's not much to it! They're kind of the classic chill best friends who like to hang out and help each other a lot. Musa goes to all of the winx for help but Flora is seen helping her a lot more than say... idk Stella? And Musa tends to standup for Flora a lot when anyone talks shit about her!
Anyway here are some pictures of them together because I'm insane
I didn't crop these so they probably look terrible but whatever!! Let me know if you want a more comprehensive post with actual moments and dialogue from them because they're genuinely one of the cutest yet most underrated winx pairings and it pains me :')
#THEYRE SO CUTE LOOK AT THEM?????#but yeah a big factor in their relationship is emotional support!!#sometimes people think its just flora helping musa but no!! musa helps flora a lot too!!#in fact after bloom id say she's one of the characters who helps flora the most#they're very cute!!#answered#id say musa also isnt as sarcastic or 'mean' with her#obviously musa isnt mean but she can get pretty sassy! its seen mostly with stella and riven but still#she's still like that with flora to a degree but its definitely toned down!#mostly because flora doesnt give her a reason to be like that but also because she doesnt want to accidentally hurt her feelings#they just trust each other A Lot and musa especially really values flora's opinions and advice#flora also appreciates musa being a little more Out there and energetic at times!#they mesh really well imo and thats why their friendship is so good!#it feels really even in how much they give and take and their personalities and overall energy is never competing#just... they... <3#winx flora#winx musa

thinking about the way daryl constantly places himself between aggressive men and the people he loves
#he directs anger onto himself and lets himself get hurt with zero hesitation#the way he sees his own pain as inconsequential if it means his family is safe#he can take it#better him than others#the main ones off the top of my head are tyrese when carol kills his girlfriend and the gang in s4 when they surround rick michonne and carl#and most obviously negan#daryl has so much fear especially of loud men#you see it most in s2 but it by no means goes away#but in the moments that his ptsd is justified and he could flinch away like he normally responds he directly puts himself in harms way#he must be so triggered in those moments and he still doesnt hesitate#daryl dixon breaks my heart and he deserves so much more than the show gives him#rest in peace. now get up and go to war#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#daryl dixon#twd#the walking dead
