Me, throughout any Originals episode

Me: Aw, cute couple moment.

Me, five seconds later: Nope, they're now dead. At least Klaus is attempting the decent thing- I spoke too soon.

Me: Well, you can always rely on Elijah to pull through- that's someone's heart...

Me: Marcel? Bex? Please...and they're plotting murder.

Me, at the end: Well, that went horribly wrong...it's not like it can get worse

Me: *clicks next episode button*

Oho 👀👀

I feel like Mirabel doesn’t realise just how much she could pack a punch with those light powers. Sure, it’s pretty and shimmery and she can even turn invisible…But she could outright blind someone.

If she concentrated hard enough, she could turn others invisible or even turn an entire room into an optical illusion. She could give the illusion that she’s moving way faster than she actually is with flashes of light, almost seeming to teleport

She’s only ever made pretty things with her light, and carried herself on the occasional cloud of light, but imagine her with a light lasso or making a shield of light!

Isabela’s “What Else Can I Do” moment came from pent up anger. I feel like Mirabel’s will come from desperation as she’s fretting over how to save the Miracle and the realisation that she doesn’t really know who she is as an individual

She’s always been paired with Isabela. The two princesses of the Encanto. Alma’s perfect girls. She entertains people at parties, makes pretty lights for events (especially weddings or family birthdays). Her Gift is shiny and pretty. Outside of being Little Miss Perfect and trying to make everyone proud…She’s not sure who she is anymore and that terrifies her to realise

Why can't you and Micheal talk like reasonable people? He's still family

“.. he starts shit every single time .. I tried talking to that asshole once and I paid for it “

jason todd being a book nerd in canon is so funny to me. like mf is a violent vigilante but chows down some pride & prejudice on his off time. he is such a silly goose (homicidal maniac)

Ahem

You know those video games where the character has to complete puzzles and work through their trauma to escape/wake up/something? Obstacles getting in their way and being tied to their past as they delve more into their trauma and have to learn/heal from it before they can progress?

Danny has been around a loooong time. He's old, he's powerful, and has a space in the ghost zone that he controls much like a god. The ghosts have long since started leaving him alone, the ones he's friends with have their own affaires to deal with, and in his ever shifting labyrinthian layer he's too powerful, and even outside of it he can still kick their asses.

and he's without a purpose

His friends had long since passed on after leading long and wonderful lives with him, not even leaving a ghost behind. His Family as well. Jazz had never had children, and try as he and Sam might have, half dead as he was he couldn't have children. He had no one left and nothing to do, and all of eternity to do it in.

Thinking of Jazz is what made him do it the first time

She loved helping people with her psychology, and Danny decided to do it in his own way. It hadn't been pretty, and it hadn't been easy, but he had found his method. Some took to it better than others, and many had different theories about his lair and his motives, but he helped people move past their trauma. Some believed his lair was some kind of purgatory, and... they weren't totally off

So, when Danny moved on to the timeline of the DC multiverse, he had some experience under his belt

He just underestimated how much trauma superheroes can have

I’ve mentioned it before but I’m a fucking sucker for unhealthy dependent relationships. There’s just something about them that is so. Chef’s kiss 👌

Anyway I’m still thinking about how Law was so attached to Cora and was so traumatized by his death that he literally devoted thirteen YEARS of his life to revenge killing Doflamingo. Even though all Cora ever wanted was for Law to just be free and live his life happily. And Law spending all his time in a hateful revenge spiral is literally the exact OPPOSITE of what Cora wanted for him. BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE. If the thirteen years of endless devotion to avenging his savior wasn’t enough Law 1. Named his pirate crew the Heart Pirates in honor of Cora, 2. Covered himself in permanent heart-themed tattoos in honor of Cora, and 3. Fashioned his Jolly Roger to be a mockery of Doflamingo’s and ALSO to honor Cora. Homie is a walking memorial for a man he only really knew for six months and again crafted the most intricate plan known to mankind to murder Cora’s killer. Because losing Cora fucked him up THAT much. Because even though Cora set him free, the moment Doflamingo shot him Law was chained to the memory of a man who no longer existed. Law literally fashioned his entire life down to his own appearance after Cora and it makes me so insane. I cannot even imagine what went through his head after Dressrosa I mean how do you move on after a thirteen year grudge is put to rest. What is he supposed to do now. Avenging Cora was literally his entire existence, his entire reason for living for half of his life. He needs therapy probably. If Cora somehow ever did come back to life Law would lose his fucking mind. The dependency is SO unhealthy and I am SO here for it

I don’t think anyone talks enough about how Sebastian is a crappy older brother to Maru like I get you have issues but she did nothing but be born

[ Image Description: Stardew Valley screenshots of Maru saying, "Sebastian hardly ever talks to me. I wonder if he even likes me at all? It's sad. I want to have a brother but he doesn't act like one." End ID. ]

my hot take is that just because personality disorders shouldn't be pathologized as some incurable illness or Asshole Syndrome but instead should be viewed as the culmination of years worth of maladaptive coping mechanisms brought on by trauma there still needs to exist some form of nomenclature to categorize these states of being and you still most certainly should see a (trauma/systems informed) psych about them. i'm sorry but if these toxic behaviour patterns have been around for years especially decades i don't believe a supportive and understanding family/community is sadly enough to fix it, seeking professional help is the responsible thing to do if you have the self awareness to see the harm your actions cause to those around you

Not sure if this would be amusing or horrifying. But I’m imagining a Trials of Apollo AU where Apollo is sent down to Earth in the same physical form that he was in when he fought Python the first time. Which in my mind, for whatever the reason, makes him appear about 7-8 years old.

Most things end up happening the same but no one takes Apollo seriously because he looks like a second-grader. (However, Apollo doesn’t get beat up by Cade and Mikey, and Diana spends a few minutes cuddling Apollo because that’s HER baby brother and she misses him.) Plus, Cabin Seven has more than one moment where they are holding back hysterics and the urge to wrap their Father up in bubble wrap because Apollo is a tiny fragile mortal who supremely overestimates what he’s capable of doing in child-form (and don’t get him started on talking about their mortal parents, this situation is already too weird). Chiron is also despairing because he already dealt with young Apollo being weirdly paternal once before, and now he has to deal with it again (Dionysus is outwardly laughing but inwardly panicking because he’s seen far too many children die and he knows what Zeus is like when it comes to letting other gods try to help someone he’s decided to punish)

Meg is suffering from cognitive disonnance because she was half-joking when she claimed Apollo’s service and is now stuck with a child-like ex-god who has a bunch of children of his own.

Bonus: Zeus is questioning his life-choices because child!Apollo keeps getting himself almost adopted by random strangers for some reason (and a part of him is furious and intending to strike them all down because Apollo is HIS son, not THEIRS) and this was not the punishment the king of the gods intended for him (and all the other gods are quietly side-eyeing him nervously). Leto is furious because that’s her baby and she wants him safe and not to go fighting that evil snake again (at least he isn’t a four-day old baby this time) but Zeus refuses to listen to her.

naruto: do you ever think about how kakashi-sensei acts more like our dad than our teacher?

sasuke, thinking about fugaku: don’t be stupid he’s way too nice to us to be like a dad

“stop calling jason todd a silly guy” has it ever occurred to you that he is a silly guy? he is FOR SURE a murderer and can be so, so cruel, but he still has his moments. he can still be killing people while quoting books he read in high school. he can still be torturing people while humming mitski songs. he can still haunt gotham while making fun of his siblings. let the guy be silly!
