You know, I think for Kim something that makes it easy for him to soften up to you is that he has NO history with you in the most literal and complete sense of the idea.

He’s on guard with you initially because there’s a history between your Precincts, because you have a reputation, and because he does too. You see how Harry’s precinct reacts to him! And Kim works very, very hard to keep that reputation intact as best he can.

But he also has a history — the juvie work, “Kimball”, embarrassing tidbits, even institutionalized things like the racism and ableism. He can’t escape those things because people talk, they connect, they hear things. He can only mitigate the damage.

And here’s Harry. Tabula Rasa Harry Du Bois. The detective who can occasionally have premonitions of a memory but without the full context. I think the reason Harry calling Kim cool on the first day gets to Kim so much is because this man knows nothing of the world — nothing of politics or the pale or money — but he seems so steadfast in his belief that Kim is an ideal to admire, to look up to. NOBODY thinks that. Even the most starry-eyed cop can’t see past the glasses, or the nerd tendencies, or the homosexual tendencies. And Kim is certain one of these days Harry will go, talk, connect, and find that one tidbit about him that changes how Harry looks at him. It will completely break and calcify his heart.

But then it just…. never happens. The other snakeskin shoe never drops. If anything Harry gets more starry-eyed than before. Kim feels increasingly insane as the realization washes over him that maybe Harry really does like him. Maybe people can change.

HELLOOOOOOO i got super into vocaloid (GIANT EXPLOSION)

main takeaway from certain fan reactions to the finale is this:

the final scene with ankarna was so meaningful to the bad kids' arcs and how they made peace with being wronged by people they loved, and if all you can focus on is that the rat grinders didn't get much screentime, then you don't love dimension20 and you don't love this world: you want to be playing your own hs themed dnd campaign and you're mad the oc versions of the rat grinders you made up in your head acted ooc. these are not your characters and this is not their story.

“Sorry that it all went down like it did”

every time someone mischaracterises jay ferin as the therapist friend a fairy loses its wings btw. put some respect on her emotionally-constipated ass.

i know that atsv and spiderverse in general is probably not including Gabe for various reasons and therefore when Mig took his alt selfs place he wasnt actually leaving anyone behind. he said something along the lines of “i found a universe where i was happy” which kinda screams that something was fucked up with his home one, i’d like to think more than usual because the other explanation is that he just left like all his family behind. Which is extremely messed up but also on the other hand a little funny

like imagine being gabe here. Imagine your older brother fucks off to another universe because of his depression and comes back with even worse depression ranting some shit about canon events. You have to be told where he went by his AI because god knows your brother has all the communication skills of a rusty spoon. Have to be told he fucking left with no intention of coming back

its an episode about the many ways morty fears rick.

its about being afraid of rick and being afraid of his sadness and his callousness and his power. its about morty knowing the power rick has over him and being afraid of that. and knowing that ricks decisions are fickle and often Bad and that morty is going to be beholden to them. when rick jumps morty is forced to follow after and pay the same price for no crime. and the fear that for his loyalty and obedience there is no reward . Morty Is Afraid Of Being A Dog.

if rick is in a simulation where hes given everything he wants and hes too selfish and cowardly to leave when it threatens his life, morty will have to die with him.

if rick is in a simulation where he has the option of pretending nothing is wrong and everything is fine and hes too selfish and cowardly to admit its a lie even when it threatens his life, morty will have to die with him.

if rick is forced to admit he cares for morty or die he would die before saying it. and morty knows it. and Im Going Crazy

The fate's already fucked me sideways Swinging by my neck from the family tree He'll laugh and say, "You know I raised you bеtter than this" Then leavе me hanging so they all can laugh at me

AEGON II TARGARYEN + FAMILY TREE (INTRO) by ETHEL CAIN

literally when has another ship given as much as bakudeku has. when has another ship encompassed so many tropes all at once while also having the relationship develop the way it has???? sometimes i’m just like dumbfounding by the depth that exists between them like they’re not just childhood friends, they’re not just rivals to lovers they’re not just starcrossed they’re not just punk x nerd or jock x jock or nerd x nerd or whatever the fuck they’ve gone from best friends to broken to fixed to i would die for you x i would kill for you like????? the nicknames???? the fact that katsuki has never told deku to stop calling him kacchan even when their relationship was at their lowest???? the fact that he was carrying his all might card with him the whole time???????????? the fact that izuku is so defensive he unlocked new powers multiple times because of kacchan and katsuki is so defensive he was willing to die TWICE for izuku?????? even the smaller things, all might rooting for them, aizawa saying his whole thing about how the two of them push their entire class to go above and beyond,, house arrest boys???? ohhh my goddddd like i know we all know but i can’t stop thinking about all of this all the time 😩😩😩

I adore sun/moon ryomina dynamic... but specifically how ryoji is the moon to makoto's sun. in the way that the moon is a reflection of the sun's light. without the sun there is so moon, but also the moon brings meaning to the sun's existence...

I hate that we've gone from "don't like, don't read" and not caring about what fucked up shit is depicted in fan media as a standard to hypervigilance and having to mind your every word so the group you've found yourself in doesn't know you ship the Not HOA Approved Ship

MiqoMarch Day 23 - Midnight

With their intended voyage into the void only a few days out, Arsay thought it the upmost importance that she steal her partner away to Kugane, that they might share one more fond memory together should things not turn out the way they plan in the thirteenth. It was as they crossed the very same bridge the miqo'te had once sat on together two years prior when Arsay gifted Y'shtola with a bracelet matching that of her own. A token of endearment which, Arsay confessed, she would have given to her fellow scion back then, had nerves not gotten the best of her. While their relationship has undoubtedly changed since the initial purchase of the jewellery, the sentiment remained the same. Y'shtola was someone who Arsay loved dearly and she will forever be grateful to have the seeker's life intertwined with her own. No matter where their free spirits took them, they would always hold each other in their hearts. A promise Y'shtola was more than willing to keep. She slipped the the string of beads around her wrist without a second thought. They were never to come off, not even when the two decided to delay their return to Radz-at-Han in favour of a private bath at the dead of night.

every so often it hits me that tim drake is actually, canonically, within the pages of officially published dc comics, as of right now, bisexual. and i just can’t believe i got to be around for this

I tried to make a fake SFV screenshot for if Echo had a story mode definitely not my usual shading style but I gave it my best attempt!

you fuckers are really hating on travis when hes literally a he/him lesbian, also the wilderness is literally a metaphor for girlhood do you really think it wouldve let him survive if he wasnt at least a little girl coded ?

peak charmac is when charlie slips up in an argument and calls mac “ronnie” and for just a second all the complications wash away and they’re left standing inches apart with the knowledge that this is the person you stole candy from the corner shop with. this is the guy who was there beside you to throw rocks at trains when things sucked. the boy who kept threatening to beat up shawn demont with his super-awesome ninja skills when that asshole stole your bikes and the kid who bit that asshole teacher after she told you to stop demonstrating your super-awesome ninja skills during class. and then reality and time come rushing through the space between them like the icy water running off a mountaintop in spring because, of course, growing together means knowing exactly where to swing the axe to make it hurt the most
