"I can't believe the fallout tv show made the brotherhood the good guys" it did not. Like I get being wary because Bethesda loves to go "woah cool power armor" but the Brotherhood are not the good guys in this show.
We are shown they are a cult in episode 1. Episode 2 we see the kind of man who becomes a Knight in the Brotherhood. Episode 7 Thaddeus mentions how the Brotherhood will kill him for being a ghoul, which Lucy responds to with confusion "Aren't they the good guys?" and Maximus winces and gives a "It's complicated" in return. Episode 8, when Maximus expresses his desire to leave, Dane looks on him with pity and says "There's no leaving the Brotherhood."
And these are just the moments I remember off the top of my head! I'm sure there are more. But the point being: the show is taking deliberate steps to showcase the Brotherhood as not just corrupt, but fundamentally flawed in its basic ideology. Even my parents, who know nothing about Fallout lore, were able to go "Oh, the Brotherhood is NOT a good institution" after watching just episode 1.
#sophie.txt#fallout#fallout prime#like i think y'all are just so used to bethesda fucking up its own lore that u see any portrayal of the BoS now and go 'ugh'#which i mean. valid#i too wish other factions were present in the show considering it takes place in California#but like. they were not trying to make the brotherhood out as the good guys here#they very much Did Not Do That

"oh Astarion is SOOOO effeminate" wrong. You are judging Astarion by human genders. Astarion is first and foremost a high elf and by high elf standards he is actually INCREDIBLY masc. Other high elves look at him and he reminds them of that one annoying straight guy in their elf-economics (elfenomics if you will) class in elf-college who loved playing devil's advocate. And then they see him kiss a guy and they almost die of shock.

being trans is so fun because when you do it for long enough you hit a certain level of gender enlightenment and suddenly there’s soooo many more genders. it’s like unlocking shrimp colors.

my favorite part of Firebringer was when Chorn said “it’s Chornin’ time” and then Chorned all over the stage

Okay, so I JUST finished Season 3 of Leverage- but I have to rewatch Season 3 (my mom wants to watch the season with me- I got way too excited and I couldn't wait to watch it.) Anyway, I'm rewatching Season 1 episode 1- (just because.)
Anyway- after watching them grow with each other- going back and hearing them not wanting to work together is hilarious.
Like when the bomb went off; who went out first? Parker, Hardison, and Eliot.
When Hardison tripped? Eliot pulled him up.
In the hospital? They kept Eliot in the same room as Nate. They had Hardison and Parker share a same room.
When they went and collected Sophie; All their expressions were accurate and haven't changed.
It was suppose to be a one and done. Walk away. Clean their hands of each other.
But their bad guys and sometimes bad guys are sometimes the only good guys.
They can't walk away.

you may have found lewis winning almost every single race with a 23 sec gap boring but at least the prettiest babygirl would be looking proud and thankful on the highest step of the podium, now we have still no racing still a guy winning with 23 sec gap but it's just rancid and ugly :/

"wyll's too nice i'd like him more if he were a little meaner and angrier" you guys couldn't handle vivienne de fer having a complicated relationship with the oppressive system she was raised in. you couldn't handle liam costa making a minor but well-intentioned mistake. you couldn't handle preston garvey having a recurring fetch quest.
you couldn't even handle early access wyll who was angrier and grappled with moral quandaries more. and you can't handle wyll as he is now when he playfully teases astarion.
#sophie.txt#if wyll said some of the shit astarion does you guys would be calling him toxic and manipulative and irredeemable#black characters never fucking win in fandoms#if they're even the SLIGHTEST bit morally grey then they're irredeemable and hated#if they're morally good then they're boring#there's no fucking winning#baldur's gate#bg3#wyll ravengard#antiblackness

I find it kind of funny that Shane is labelled the "i can fix him" romance of sdv but...he really isn't. You, the player, actually do very little in terms of "fixing" him. You watch him have a few breakdowns, and you intervene when he's drunk on the cliffs, but...he's the one who decides to start going to therapy. He's the one who decides to quit drinking. These are not things that you ever encourage him to do. You can headcanon certain interactions all you want, but this isn't like "the player chooses the genre of Elliott's future book." You have no impact on whether or not Shane cleans up his life. You support him at a few key moments, but the desire to change and be better comes from Shane, not the player.
You don't fix him. He fixes himself.

Rereading the early chapters of MHA, and tbh I think we can pin this scene as the exact moment Tomura develops his fixation on Izuku.
Everyone in this scene assumes that All Might doesn’t need any help and starts wandering off, leaving All Might to face Kurogiri and Tomura alone. Izuku is the only one to intervene, "offering help that no one asked for." Of course, Izuku is the only one with actual insight into All Might’s condition and realizes that he's in danger— but from Tomura’s perspective, Izuku is some rando kid that's throwing himself into danger to help someone who doesn’t appear to need any help. And the emphasis on everyone else being willing to just sit back and do nothing while All Might handles everything is something we know ties directly to one of Tomura’s biggest traumas:
Tomura: "Don't just watch. Help Me. Someone please look at me. Don't just tell me not to cry. Don't just smile and pretend that everything is alright. Don't pretend you don't see me."
MHAReddit: Ah, I understand-- obviously, the series is saying that Tenko is dead and we can beat this guy by punching him harder! :)
I gotta stress that Shouto and Co. are kids and I'm not faulting them for deciding to let an adult handle the situation (and I don't doubt in the slightest that they would have also chosen to intervene if they were privvy to the same information abt Toshinori's health as Izuku)-- but from Tomura's perspective where he holds pretty much everyone equally responsible for society's failings, this act was enough for him to start subconsciously singling Izuku out.
Meanwhile, the sports festival just reinforces Tomura's budding interest bc it reinforces that Izuku is actually batshit crazy and Tomura's response to this is to ask ".... how crazy we talkin'? 👀"
Oh, Izuku, you were definitely gonna get kidnapped at some point 😭
Anyway, stuff like this is also why I feel that Horikoshi likely planned on having Izuku save Tomura from the very beginning (And I've seen ppl argue that Hori had planned to have Tomura be the final boss and get defeated/killed because of Nine's existence, but let's be real-- Nine was an AFO expy parading around in a Yoichi expy's body and ya'll know it). There's a lot of set up for why Izuku is ultimately the best person to save Tomura scattered throughout the early stages of the manga, like, literally starting from the very first page:
Izuku: *crying the biggest and ugliest tears mankind has ever seen, snot pouring out of his nose, sweating a frankly concerning amount, and fighting back his own tears because he just can't ignore the tears of others* I GOTTA SAVE THAT CRYING BOY....!!!
Shigaraki Tomura, famously a freak, inching himself closer to Midoriya Izuku's splash zone with every chapter: ....... :) :) :)
Izuku saves others despite being a sobbing, snotty, sweaty mess--often times while he's being a sobbing, snotty, sweaty mess. It's antithetical to All Might and Nana's beliefs about saving others with a smile and about cultivating an "image"/"mask" meant to reassure others-- but that's not a bad thing, and the whole series is built around showing us why it isn't a bad thing.
Izuku cannot separate his own inherent humanity and desires from his heroism and is driven by impulse/ego/pain the same way Tomura is. He remains a crybaby who wears his emotions on his sleeve throughout the entirety of the manga-- and the lesson he ultimately learns isn't that he should "just stop crying and hide all his fear behind a smile," it's that he shouldn't run from that aspect of himself because it's the part of himself that allows him to empathize with others. Izuku saves a piece of himself every time he gives his all to save those who are in tears, and he's become the exact type of hero who would've given it his all to save his child self.
This might not be the sort of hero Izuku fantasized about being-- but it's exactly the sort of hero Tomura needs after a lifetime of having his own tears downplayed and ignored by everyone.
on that note, the anime having Tenko and Izuku's "masks" basically evaporating to reveal their soft, sparkly, shoujo-y centers in that one season 6 OP remains one of the most on-point visuals the anime has ever given us lmfao. can't wait to see what they do for s7.....!

hot take: I think cutting “Loud” and “Telly” for Matilda the Musical (2022) was a really good choice. in the stage musical, those songs are moments of comic relief in what is otherwise a fairly dark story, and they give the audience the opportunity to laugh at the Wormwoods. without that comic relief, the Wormwoods are just abusers; yes, there are still funny moments involving them, but those moments are greatly overshadowed by their treatment of Matilda. it makes the ending (when Matilda leaves her family and finds happiness with Miss Honey) all the more impactful if you aren’t laughing at them.
#in the same vein I think cutting Michael Wormwood was also a good choice#bc not having a second child there magnified the situation and made Matilda's abuse more prominent#(once again making the ending more impactful)#anyway I have so many thoughts about this movie (dare I say it's better than the stage musical??)#matilda the musical#matilda#matilda the musical netflix#matilda 2022#matilda netflix#matilda the musical 2022#sophie.txt
