2 months later almost to the day and I’m still literally sobbing into my pillow about the Shakespearean tragedy that was Sylki

I've seen a lot of shippers argue that Sansa should end with the Hound because she's a privileged pretty princess and needs to fuck an ugly lowborn pedophile to unlearn classism 🙄 Ignoring the fact they're treating wokeness like a STD, I find it pretty interesting that I never saw them use this argument to justify why Sansa should end with Podrick, who is around her age, is as lowborn as Sandor and never tried to rape her at knifepoint 🙄

Jayce: It's so complicated, you know? I miss him so much but he's literally a murderer... did I even really know the real him?

As one of the great minds of our fandom once helped me to understand, Wulbren deserves the same time and energy we give to any other imperfect and altogether less well-intentioned character in this franchise…

…people are mad that Percy didn’t befriend a titan that tried to kill him? Why would he even want to? They are not friends, Percy just said they were so a huge ass titan wouldn’t feel compelled to start attacking them again, kinda like no worries all good and safe here.

Bob wasn’t worthy of that friendship until he tried to help him, at that point Percy was so overcome with guilt for lying to him about being friends he confessed everything and accepted death as punishment for being a bad friend. He didn’t get mad at bob, blame him for needing to be dunked in the Lethe in the first place (you know since he was trying to kill him, Nico, and Thalia, which makes him completely at fault for losing his memory), didn’t defend himself in any way just asked that bob save Annabeth at the very least?

As I understand it bob didn’t hold it against him for long? He did come back and save him and Annabeth, and even sacrificed himself so they could get out. Overall, became a better version of himself, but like before all that, why would Percy go back and talk to him??

I saw a j0neris post today that said that “all that text but jonsa only has subtext”

BESTIE AT LEAST WE HAVE THAT, which is so much more than you can say for yourself

the thing about spiral is that William is obsessed with a version of zeke that doesn't exist, and he kind of learns that through the film. He's idolized Zeke for years, the cop who saved his life, the detective who took a stand and exposed the corruption surrounding his fathers death, the man who is treated so unfairly by the system that is supposed to protect people. and then he meets zeke and he is bitter and an asshole about it, hes misogynistic, he raids a guys appartment without a warrant and commits police brutality on him to get information, and william is so deep in it that he just can't see it as a negative thing, because zeke is perfect in his eyes.

one of Zeke's redeeming qualities is that throughout it all, he sincerely tries to save everyone he can. and THATS the one thing that dissapoints William! he is so convinced that he's doing the right thing that he genuinely cannot understand why Zeke would try to help Dunleavy. he sees it as Zeke failing his test.

i feel like zeke would never want to be partners with william. he wouldn't be able to handle putting people, no matter how much they suck, into death traps.

sooner or later William is going to see Zeke for who he is and not just as an idolized savior, he's going to realize that he spent 15 years molding himself to please a person who doesn't exist

On further puzzle house reflection, and some spoilers below...

Dark King Atticus isn't completely beyond the bounds of reality?? I mean this guy is perfectly fine with a five year old practising dark magic... he's not tearing Viren out for letting her try, he's just pls dude, keep the carnage to your own rooms now...

Also seems pretty interested in Kpp'Ar's possibly powerful magical contraption..

Can I wrangle my brain into thinking he's an iron fist in a velvet glove?

listen i am over the moon that dc has finally decided to bring sin back into black canary's story. i love that. i love sin lance. i love dinah lance. i love their relationship. what i do not love is the fact that they have retconned what sin really is to dinah. sin is not and has never been her sister. she is her daughter. there is a difference and that difference matters. to take that away from both characters is ridiculous, pointless, and honestly deeply offensive. and yes i will die on this hill.

The Gege x Toji ask really got me questioning, what exactly is it that attracts Gege to this man? I mean, Toji is a subtle yet intriguing character, and he's hot and cool but even as a Toji fan I don't think I'm as obsessed with him as Gege 😅.

Though in this regard, Gege and Gojo shares another similarity. They both couldn't get Toji out of their minds. Thus Gege is really not beating the Gojo-coded allegations 😂.

oh MAI GAH! yeeeeeeeeees 🙌 😂

Isn't there a comment out there from Gege about how his dad asked him if Toji was inspired by him? Could probably have something to do with it... it's especially interesting if you take into consideration that Toji is such a tragically deadbeat guy and Megumi probably represents everything that Toji wishes he could have been--someone with potential and talent that needed to be fostered.

Anyways, it's undeniable that Gege loves the Fushiguros.

Also... Gojo-coded 💯. And this would be why Gojo had to die 😂.

Alex Garland retire bitch!!!!!

dont get me wrong the meat industry is a shitshow ofc and long term ecological recovery will definitely involve ppl eating a lot less meat (and v few choice cuts on demand at that etc) but your average backyard chicken egg or locally hunted deer is a million times more sustainable than imported fruits and almond milk

lol so many bi radfems argue like reactionary manipulative queerio tras and liberals when they're called out for homophobia or told of their privilege ://

Can stick-sonas come to life?

I launched a thread off of one of Tulip's posts a little while ago, but I don't want to continue to derail them so I'm making this its own post.

I asked what happens if a stick that's meant to be an avatar of their animator comes to life? But I'm realizing that I may not have been clear about my definition of "avatar" here, so I apologize for that.

When I say "avatar," what I really mean is more along the lines of "stick-sona." Not a self-insert, since it's not really used to tell stories (and I think if the creator did start telling a story with it then it would stop really being a stick-sona, because at that point it starts to become its own character separate from the creator), and honestly not really a mascot either, because it's representing one creator instead of an entire group of them.

So, AvA fandom, I have a challenge for you.

Think of your stick-sona. The stick you draw when it's supposed to be you, whether you're interacting with the characters or with your audience. The stick you draw almost like a signature; more to show the hand you had in the creation of an art piece, than as an actual part of the art. The stick you use to make announcements. The stick you use when you share life updates. The stick you answer ooc asks with. The stick you use when you want to preserve your privacy online but still give your followers some visual means of identifying you.

And ask yourself:

What would it mean, for your 'sona to come to life?

like on one hand i understand why people got upset about something toto said esp because it seemed worse than it was due to being out of context

on the other hand it genuinely feels like people want literally any excuse to talk shit about lewis

hating on darkstalker is so easy but it SO fun im never going to stop
