in defense of kabumisu……..

addressing things I see people say about why kabru being shipped w mithrun is ‘bad’ or why their canon relationship ‘doesn’t mean anything’ while also clearing up misconceptions of the characters some fans have

listen it keeps popping up and I just gotta do this or my brain will melt (if you don’t see it around then god I wish that were me) feel free not to read lol there’s an age gap!- erm there’s also an age gap in farcille (ily), the most popular ship in the series...also chilchuck looks like a kid but a lot of fans recognize him as a dilf because of his relative age, so there should be no age gap discourse among adult characters because it feels so conditional tbh

kabru taking care of mithrun is racist!- marcille likes to take care of others as well. is that sexist, or just an aspect of her character?

kabru isn’t treated like a servant, waiting on mithrun hand and foot…I mean he gives mithrun a foot massage but no one told him to do all that lmfao

he's also not the only one to care for mithrun. pattadol is shown to worry for him and milsril was the one to start taking care mithrun in the first place after he…...y’know. speaking of which-

they probably met when kabru was a kid!- neither of them showed signs of recognizing each other the entire time mithrun was introduced nor when they were together. and im pretty sure KABRU of all people would show some kind of recognition if they'd met before. it's kabru!!! the people person!!! mr. "i-noted-down-50+-characters-in-this-dude's-backstory-for-fun-and-actually-enjoy-social-gatherings"

you would think some kind of memory would come back to him especially after hearing mithrun’s backstory if milsril had even told kabru about him as a kid. but nope. it’s just fan speculation unless there's a side comic suggesting otherwise that i haven't seen

mithrun doesn't care about kabru, his shapeshift double looked like shit!- it's obviously because of mithrun's (then) lack of desires that it looked like that, but they really grow on each other

i think it's safe to assume it'd look more like kabru after they spent so much time together (also laios can barely even remember kabru's name, give this guy a hug)

mithrun is racist!- he’s actually the least likely character to be racist since he lost his desires and that includes a desire for superiority over others. he even calls his past self out on that part of himself. the other elves in that side comic were being just as racist to shorter lived races but just didn’t use ‘outdated slurs’

(unfortunately literally every main character in dunmeshi is at least a lil prejudiced, but I believe it’s worldbuilding and a sign of the times rather than a reason ryoko kui is giving to hate each character)

taking care of others is a pain in the ass!- saying this as a reason kabru and mithrun shouldn't be together is basically saying disabled people shouldn't be allowed to have romantic relationships because they're a "burden"...if someone is actually willing to put in the work, then let them be.

that's not even all of their relationship, mithrun is the fighter of their duo and kabru would've been killed by the shapeshifter or something if he'd fallen down the hole on his own since he sucks at fighting monsters. mithrun helps collect ingredients for cooking every time, too (barometz fruits and griffin egg). he pulls his weight and then some!! i feel like people forget that part of mithrun a lot somehow.

+senshi literally cooks for everyone all time. it's kind of an important aspect of the narrative.

+also, while it is a popular fan thing I see around that kabru handfeeds mithrun, he literally never does lol this is mithrun using his own hands to eat:

also here we have him washing his own body

just saying because people like to treat mithrun like a baby even though the narrative respects him as a capable adult who also has special needs because of an accident. he’s captain for a reason

kabru hates taking care of mithrun!- not exactly, he was initially surprised and put off but got used to it quickly. i’m sure he’s grateful for all the times mithrun saved him from a monster and teleported them out of danger as well

he even starts doing “unnecessary” things for mithrun’s comfort and safety like when mithrun pushes himself too hard fighting, even after his mission to take care of him was complete when the canaries came back

here is even kabru resting while mithrun keeps watch (mithrun let him sleep for 5 hours before waking him up from the nightmare earlier, too):

there's nothing more to their relationship!- they actually have had a very tight and consistent dynamic since they met and they incite the most change within each other by the end. kabru is the one who inspires mithrun to create new desires so he doesn't waste away, and mithrun is the first person we see kabru being genuine with and it leads him to be more honest with others by the end instead of tiptoeing around everyone all the time (that mask was also the reason some ppl initially disliked kabru…)

kabru’s relationship with mithrun is honestly so important for his character and vice versa, but it’s often disregarded because of one over exaggerated aspect of it (an aspect that isn’t even the first way they interact with each other) or because people want to just straight up ignore it for some reason 🥲🥲

kui dedicates many panels to them that don't particularly serve the narrative as a whole in order to demonstrate this and i think that's pretty significant

you're taking this too seriously!- as if i'm the first person in the world to be crazy about a ship or the characters 😭 i love analyzing text and it's upsetting to see them mischaracterized when kui lays out the characters so clearly and deliberately

also they end up touching each other like all the time and have the kind of canon validation most ppl can only dream of lol i feel so insane look at this:

and this is just when they're first getting to know each other cuz there's a fuckload more

kinda hard to explain how i don't actually need them to get married or whatever but i'd die on this hill for them and i enjoy their dynamic immensely

haha you thought you were reading ship discourse but it was actually a character analysis 🤪🤪🤪

also don’t somehow take this to mean I think anyone has to ship them, I just need everyone to understand these accusations kind of don’t make sense especially when they can also apply to other pairs or characters

I find it fun that mithrun waited for kabru to wake up before moving on after they first fell through the hole. why indeed…idk but it’s cute either way

bonus kabru looking at mithrun:

#dungeon meshi #kabumisu #kabru of utaya #mithrun #dungeon meshi spoilers #i'd rather be able to enjoy their dynamic without feeling like i have to explain it but i keep seeing the same takes i cant do this anym-#i feel like i advocate for kabumisu so much because i see so many people mischaracterizing kabru to make l4bru work like how they want #by saying he’s obsessed w laios because he thinks he’s hot..but he was curious about his autistic behavior and eventually thought his lack #of malice would make laios the best candidate for becoming dungeon lord to prevent another utaya tragedy. tho eventually he doubts that #not that i care that he's shipped with laius. i just want ppl to see kabru for who he IS bc some still think hes nothing but a shady bicth #i think that's best shown through his dynamic with mithrun (other than his own words of course) so i want ppl to acknowledge it properly #like idk if I can trust popular fan interpretations of the characters or relationships anymore after the shit with toshiro bro 💀💀#not trying to attach kabru’s entire being to mithrun or anything either just..saying #hm i feel like the way i worded all of this will make some ppl mad. not my intention but whoops #anyways has anyone drawn ship art of senshi and mithrun yet? anyone?

(don’t tell me) you need me now? m. sturniolo x reader series

INTRO:

SYNOPSIS: once upon a time, matt and y/n used to be together. only, not really together, but that toxic middle ground between a relationship and strangers. y/n used to think matt hung the moon, but matt couldn’t be bothered to show he cared beyond the walls of their bedrooms. when she realizes that she deserves better, matt is gone and exed out from her life.

two years later and y/n is living her best life. she’s dating someone, has great friends and is so over her old not-boyfriend. or so she thought. until matt starts showing up everywhere. until he tells her that he wants to try again, and swears that he’s gonna do whatever it takes to get her back. it leaves y/n’s head reeling, re-defining everything she thought was true about the past, present and future. for her, there’s always been a thin line between self preservation and destruction. with matt back into her orbit, she’s right back there, toeing that line. god. here we go again.

WARNINGS:

use of y/n, alcohol, drugs (weed), cursing, suggestive as hell, toxic themes, angst (but sexy!)

TABLE OF CONTENTS:

prologue: i’m done being yours

chapter one: all bitter, no sweet

chapter two: (should hate you but) can’t make my mind up

chapter three: better than the rest

2. this is an au, so matt is essentially just a face claim. this is all fiction y’all so treat it as such

3. this will have very, very hectic updates!! this is much more in depth than anything i’ve done and i have a really good, thought out plan but i am a busy woman so be mindful

I think I can try to answer anons questions about the characterizations. Apologies in advance because this is LOOOOOONG.

First things first, to be in the SAS means more than just being a soldier. The British SAS are the literal top of the top, cream of the crop of their special forces. They are compared a lot with DEVGRU (seals) and Delta Force. Less than 1% of armed forces members can pass selection and complete their training. They are all, in their own ways, very hardened individuals. They’re all extremely intelligent in several skills, and equally competent. (This isn’t to stroke off the special forces. They are not superhuman and are never immune to dying from their own mistakes or pure bad luck. It’s extremely dangerous to be in counter terrorism or do raids like they do, and a not insignificant amount die of dumb mistakes or unavoidable circumstances. But they’re not to be fucked with either)

Soap is sniper, demolitions expert. These require math skills and chemical knowledge. He’s intelligent, stoic sometimes but more spirited. He wants to help. He gets angry when bad things happen, and he seems to really care about civilians. He’s got a strong sense of right and wrong, and voices his opinions always. He pushes buttons and boundaries, but he’s no braggart. Equally, he is intense. His humour is actually kinda dry and teasing, banter style humour. He’s not actually very silly.

Ghost is more ambiguous. He’s more rugged and detached. More introverted. He only starts joking with soap in alone, more than halfway through the game, so his trust is gained through time and effort. His humour is dry, sometimes dad jokes and sometimes fucked up jokes. Overall, he’s emotionally detached and goal oriented. He’s got a bit of the sillies though, just a taste.

Gaz is an extremely important main character. He was vital in all games, including the first mw reboot game in 2019, his character was made before soap and ghosts were. (Which is why his deliberate exclusion is a goddamn travesty). He’s spirited and strong, his skills of resistance to interrogation, escape and evasion, as well as VIP protection means he’s an intelligent independent mind. While injustices anger him, he’s got a level head and can cede to reason and keep that anger supressed, as well as be an important voice of reason. He can also be sympathetic and guiding, as seen in the mission where he guides a civilian through an extremely dangerous situation to safety.

Captain price is a staple character for the series. He’s confident but also slightly unhinged. He’s experienced, maybe a bit detached, he doesn’t give a god damn about consequences unless he gets what he wants or completes his goal. He will throw every law out the window. He will abandon basic morals and principles. He’s extremely dangerous and not to be fucked with or questioned. Hes called John “war crimes” price by the fandom for a reason. He has his more gentle side, but it’s rare and he will only show it to people he seems worthy of it, like Farah Karim or Kate laswell. He saves people but he does it roughly, he never seems to handle civilians with kid gloves, and he’s kinda rough and detached from them. He’ll save your life, but he’ll probably break your arm in the process and definitely won’t apologize for it. It’s important to note he knows what he does is fucked up. He knows people don’t like it. He gives people a way out, lets them choose if they really want to fully jump in the mud with him. He also smokes cigars with car windows rolled up. Absolutely evil action. He’s also my favourite and I love him in a way that you love a grizzly bear.

Obligatory Kate mention. Kate is a cia agent who is basically the leash that keeps John from acting out too hard. She reins them in, keeps them informed. She’s level headed and a quick thinker. She knows how the game of war is played, when and how to play by and within the rules and keeps everyone from breaking them in ways that could spiral out of control. She also knows when to let them do shady shit, and how to get them out of the messes they get themselves into. She is a very strong character, mainly in mind but also in body, and will get her hands dirty if she has to.

TLDR these are deceptively complicated characters, as in, it’s easy to mistake them as pretty surface level. They’re also easy to mistake with their fanon characterizations, which while fun, are often headcanons that the fandom has taken and run with. They’re also, not always very accurate depictions of the characters. If you wanna write them right, you gotta watch and listen to their mission dialogue.

These are generally simplified introductions based on what I observed playing the games.

Tip and trick, if you’re writing a dialogue line, imagine the characters voice saying it out loud. Say it out loud yourself. If you can fully hear the character saying the line, it’s probably a great line. If you can’t picture them saying it, tweak it until you can. This helps me a lot.

Thank you :)

Also love the kate mention

what's something about kotlc that the book/readers gloss over?

what's something that should have happened in the books that didn't?

if you could bring back a character BUT you had to kill another character to replace the one you saved, which ones would you choose? (geez hope that one makes sense)

if you could make one of the main cast go evil, which one would it be?

which backround character would be most likely to be the main character of a tragedy?

yay more questions!!

what’s something about Kotlc that the books/readers gloss over?

(oh this is gonna be long) to preface, i understand why most people gloss over this, and the only reason i notice is because of the adoption in my family, but its just something in kotlc thats so deeply important to me, and its the reason i love the series as much as i do.

kotlc is the only series ive ever read that has realistic, non stereotypical, adoption, where the main focus isn’t on adoption. most stories with a premise that focuses on something other than adoption, would pretend like the main characters biological parents/who raised them, where non existent after the first book. the main character would call their new parents mom and dad quickly and there would be no issues. because obviously adoption is all sunshine and rainbows.

in keeper it takes time for Sophie to even feel comfortable calling Havenfeild home, Eda and Grady struggle with adopting a new child who looks so much like their dead daughter. Sophie struggles with missing her family and feeling like she’s replacing them. it takes multiple books for Sophie to call them mom and dad consistently and for them to properly act like a family. thats how i should be, it takes time to feel like someone is a part of your family

adopting someone into your family is like falling in love, it happens slowly, then all at once, before they become apart of your heart for the rest of your life.

and thats what keeper did, she captured the feeling of adoption perfectly, without making it the main plot, it just happens in the background and i will forever love that

what's something that should have happened in the books that didn't?

few things actually

Tam being the one to release Gislea

Teirgan officially adopting the twins

Kesler actually having a more negative reaction to the Squall reveal

it doesn’t focus on Talantless and badmatches enough and i wish that was touched on more

Kesler and Grady being best friends

Dex’s parents being a bit more relevant (totally not baias

if you could bring back a character BUT you had to kill another character to replace the one you saved, which ones would you choose? (geez hope that one makes sense)

it did make sense, but honestly i think more characters should die and every character that has died heavily impacted the plot, and undoing their death would change a lot about the story but i will give a list of characters that i think should/will die

Forkle

Oralie

Prentice

Jensi

if you could make one of the main cast go evil, which one would it be?

people have said Dex in the past because of the neglect from the team and his mom being in the black swan without telling him. but because of his kidnapping i don’t think he would

but…Tam, not even go evil, but what if he had been so badly manipulated by the neverseen that he switched sides, what if he actually was a traitor, how would Linh feel, how would Teirgan feel, just imagine the effects that would have on everyone. how hard it would be to fight their friend, their brother in battle.

which backround character would be most likely to be the main character of a tragedy?

i mean we already have, Oralie, the Twins, Wylie, the Ruewens,

and Brant and Jolie’s story is literally a tragedy (@crymeariveronceagain i am right about that right?)

Kotlc is a series sprinkled with tragedies throughout you just have to look, they’re there, most of them are just hidden in the background.

#kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #thanks for the ask!#juline dizznee #sophie foster #tam song #kotlc tam #kotlc linh

I think it’s very interesting that “Feyre stans” (antis in disguise), defend Nesta and Tamlin’s actions, then use their “love” of Feyre as a manipulation tool against anyone that calls them out on their hypocrisy. You’re not a Feyre stan if you defend Nesta and Tamlin’s abuse of her, and still ship her with her abuser.

And the fact that these people spend majority of their content criticising Feyre’s character for no longer accepting her abusers abuse, than they do for Tamlin and Nesta’s treatment of Feyre, is very telling. And when they’re called out for this, they try and switch the argument and make it all about how horrible Rhys and the IC are…Love, we know you’re not a Feyre stan and we know you love Nesta and Tamlin bc of their treatment of Feyre. You don’t have to hide it anymore 💀

One of the reasons why Andor is seen as refreshing is because it’s gone back to the roots of fascism being pure evil in star wars, none of that two sided pandering bullshit that’s been going on lately ://///

#andor #it’s gotten so bad in modern star wars media #edit: don’t rb this if you’re one of those ppl that are like ‘this series is more interesting than the main story of star wars’#‘and it’s mystical Force element’#you guys annoy the absolute hell out of me #andor shows us Why we need sorcerer powerhouses with laser swords #the entire fucking first season of andor is the intro to any episode of clone wars or anything the jedi did #like you gave all this noise for the s1 finale and none of the important imperials died #what a fucking joke #i dreaded andor’s succes because I knew so many fools would latch on to these C lister nobodies #because they don’t have a main character bone in their body and ‘Can’t relate to the bigger story of Star Wars.’ 🙄🙄

Yknow with more 3 screen time if they kill him the same way they did axol

Also I don't think the episode was the end of Mr puzzles because

if it was that's just sad

if it isn't though. We'll. We could have a repeat. Just in a different context. A little different vibe. But same nonetheless.

'but why don't we kill four-' he's the main character the series is called smg4 not Mario and friends or something

so yeah uh anyways three will die tragically one day and I will be the first one to bet on it

(I DONT HÂTE THREE OR SMG34 IM JUST SAYING. THERES DEATH FLAGS)

Absolutely! I’m 100% sure that we haven’t seen the last of him yet. The recent SMG4 community post mentions that we will possibly be seeing him again if we want more. And considering the amount of positive feedback of Mr.zestfest over here (even outside the community which to me is crazy), I’m very positive we will be seeing him again. Just not right now as things need to chill for a bit. And when he does come back, who knows what he’ll do next?

And yeah, I feel like if they were to kill off one of the idiotic lovers, it would definitely be Three. Of course, we’re talking very very hypothetical. They’ve already done so much for SMG3 (merch and development wise) that killing him off would set half of the fandom ablaze, and cause issues within the show itself. And also, I just wanna point out how tragic each couple presented in glitch productions is.

Literally haven’t seen a happy main couple yet (swag and sonic don’t count in this case). Axol literally had to sacrifice himself by making MELONY kill him. Right after they both confessed to eachother. And then N and Uzi having there own situation right now (Uzi literally scarificed herself. And she’s in space. I think, I’m not entirely educated on MD lore). Oh, and I don’t know if this counts (I’m sure it doesn’t, but just because they were close friends) Meggy and desti. Desti was killed right in front of Meggy, and she could not do anything about it other than watch. AND THE THING IS, even if desti did live, Meggy would have been the one to die based of the episode “SMG4: WHAT IF?….”. Doomed yuri goes crazy actually.

But yeah. Imagine if they were to actually make SMG4 and SMG3 cannon. Something is bound to happen, and it would not end well. Not sure what it would be, but it would definitely doom their relationship 😭

#smg4 #smg3 #smg34 #im confident that they wouldn’t kill three or four off #because they are like #fan favorites and main characters #in which their deaths would affect majority of the series #but I still wish for something tragic to happen to them #not death though 😭#…#maybe a little but VERRY /hj #Also I was gonna mention Belle and Lucinia #but I never watched meta runner #so I don’t know if they’re cursed with doomed relationship problems #anyways #enough rambling #Hope you enjoy it though!

There was this post I saw awhile back that asked what was the one thing you would get pretentious about since everyone has at least one. I didn’t reblog it at the time, but my god if I have to see any more bad faith or media illiterate surface level take about Chainsaw Man, I’m going to become the literacy devil

#Parker says things #I’m not going to get into spoilers especially from the manga but please 😭😭😭#this is a story about fear and love and cyclic abuse and societal perception and just #relationships developing in the mundane moments and how those can also be twisted and so much more #I could write a whole academic thesis on Kick Back alone. or the other pop culture references and what they symbolize #or the psyche of any main character or even more #but too many people reduce the anime to ‘waifu bait’ or hating Denji or any other character for surface level reasons #anyways this is on my mind bc I was thinking about Makima again shfjfjfjfh #I don’t care if someone drops the series or doesn’t like it but don’t tell me it’s a cringe fanservice or whatever when it’s not 👍#you can dislike it overall but I’m gonna be annoyed if you walk up to me in cosplay to tell me I’m a bad person for dressing up as an antag

If you’d told me that I’d be shipping a bunch of classic lit authors with each other say like, a year ago, I would’ve laughed in your face

#thank you Bungou stray dogs #normally I don’t ship real people but like this is just characters named after authors and also they’re dead so #it’s so funny hearing things out of context though like imagine being completely clueless abt this piece of media #and someone says ‘so then Nathaniel Hawthorne partnered up with fyodor Dostoyevsky and Nikolai Gogol because he was in love with #Margaret Mitchell and also at some point John Steinbeck was partners with hp lovecraft and they were in love n shit and then #f scott Fitzgerald shows up and he gathers up all the Americans because he wants to take over the Japan lit scene for his wife for whatever #reason I forgot his motives because i was too focused on everything else but the plot but anyways so then there’s this little partnership #going on between Edgar Allan Poe and his Japanese counterpart Ranpo edogawa and they’re like rivals but also quite fond of each other and #they’re very wholesome and it’s all fun and games #and then there’s the main ship of the series that’s Osamu Dazai and Chuuya Nakahara and they’re like so in love and they hate each other but #they’re also in love and then the same dynamic is shared by their mentees akutagawa and atsushi nakajima and then at some point we get clues #that the same dynamic was shared between their bosses as well and mori ougai and fukuzawa yukichi are also in love because we said so I mean #basically any ship here can and will be canon no matter what and anyways so then they all meet and then fuck shit up <3 #is fanfiction abt your favourite authors put in situations <3 #.txt #bsd #bungou stray dogs

laios is such a good main character bc he’s kind of an idiot but also is such a good person and loves and cares for people so much but also reminds me of those kids that hyper obsess on a specific topic and can talk about it for like 10 hours straight, but also like recklessly courageous, like the perfect balance

#I actually really love all the characters in dungeon meshi #I usually don’t like the main characters or like a lot of them #but all of them are so unique and charming in their own ways #this is such a fun series #I wish I read it sooner #and when you see his dilema later on with monsters and his sister and how to process it #it’s so #!!!

man does anyone else just constantly forget neji died?? i was rewatching the war arc and got to it like HUH OH YEAH like i remember shikaku and inoichi more than him because i just didn’t like the writing for his and repressed it too much so now whenever i see any reference to it my brain blue screens for like 20 seconds straight

#it simply does not compute #like don’t get me wrong im into tragedy and well written character deaths ALWAYS get me #but idk i just thought neji was a poor choice if you HAD to kill one of the konoha twelve off #not that i WANTED any of them to die but i do think someone else would have been a better option #or killing off more than one would have balanced it better #and then it was also just how it was crammed between all the other big events so we had to rush past it #shout out to the fillers always knowing naruto deaths aren’t striking hard enough and giving the dead characters more significance lol #can always tell someone is about to die when the fillers start giving them all the meaningful moments rip #idk though even the folllow up grieving and references just didn’t add enough #plus how it kind of just contradicted the main goal of the series idk #i just don’t like it so my brain is just like what death???#probably would stick better if i ever rewatched post war or if i watched boruto though #but i dont so i continue to relive the ‘wtf why :/‘ every time i remember it lol #naruto shippuden spoilers #naruto spoilers #?????#does anyone need that tag???#idk i added it in case

//my favorite thing lately has been scrubbing the internet for decades old samurai jack edits and amvs and watching them. there’s so much love for samurai jack in them, faith that he would be back to finish his tale one day, and it fits perfectly with the time it came out lol. the edits aren’t as great as they would be with technology nowadays and the music is often linkin park but there’s always an open love for Jack and the series in there. and there’s something about seeing people love Jack even when it’s not at it’s most angsty, when it’s just seasons 1-4, without the novelty, without anything else to focus on but what makes Jack Jack.

#『 out of robes 』#samurai jack #ok to rb #//I love season 5 but man. it’s so saturated it feels like people forget that’s not Jack’s natural state #//Jack isn’t John Wick. weirdly controversial statement lol #//jack at his core is an honorable gentle kind and good man. the gruff and sharp exterior was forged and is necessary #//but he doesn’t LIKE fighting. he wants peace. he seeks a peaceful solution before he fights #//he’s an extremely well trained and steely warrior don’t get me wrong. he kicks ass and he takes a measure of pride in his abilities #//but s5 is the furthest he is from himself. the show even acknowledges that. Jack loses himself (understandably)#//it’s hard to put into words idk I feel like I’m going in all directions here but like #//the essence is that there’s a difference in the way jack fights and survives in s1-4 and the fighting and survival of s5 #//there’s a balance there. Jack hasn’t gotten rid of the kind young man underneath the warrior he fights USING that #//meanwhile in season 5 he thinks that’s lost forever and loses himself in being a weapon and brutal survival #//there’s something that significantly lessens the impact of s5 when all people focus on is Jack at his worst #//ignoring how he started #//bc the thing that’s significant to me about samurai jack ISNT the incredible fight scenes and badass moments #//it’s the quiet. it’s the gentleness. it’s the tenacity to do good no matter how much BAD is done to you.#//no matter how much you have to sacrifice. refusing to leave anyone behind #//there was truly nothing like the original samurai Jack series and there never will be again.#//a main character in an action series who is quiet gentle honorable respectful and kind and stubbornly hopeful no matter what #//the fact that Jack isn’t what you’d expect from someone in his position. that even when he stumbles even when he’s angry #//he refuses to let others get hurt. he can be grouchy and prickly and stoic but he’s still showing he cares through his actions.#//the thing that is most important in Jack’s story is always that he doesn’t stay broken. that every sacrifice he made #//every loss he felt and everytime he helped others at his own expense wasn’t for nothing #//that every single action he took sowed the seeds of hope that meant he would be lifted up in return #//as Jack’s father said ‘your castle is strong.’

longing for what could’ve been (the perfection of the ahsoka series if sabine wasn’t force sensitive and got to be a main character just by being the badass mandalorian she is)

#geo rambles #ahsoka series #ahsoka spoilers #obviously i’m using perfectly for the bit but like i’m so pissed about it actually working for her #like no i’m sorry #it’s not that i don’t want her to be powerful and important #it’s just that everyone should not have to be a jedi to get screentime but clearly…..#that’s the case #and she is powerful and important #like she was an awesome main character in rebels and had no force sensitivity #like did y’all watch trials of the darksaber?#but anyway we have like a few very important mandalorians din and bo-katan and ig boba idk the lore i might be messing this up in anger but #but like you get what i mean #that many important mandalorian versus how many important jedi??? we don’t need more!!!!!!

Alright here's another ask! Who's your favorite serafina character and why?

Well it’s kinda obvious who but I have absolutely no clue why I believe I woke up one morning and thought “Rowena kinda slays” so now we’re besties I even got a photo with her

It says “I’m like Rowena bc we’re both iconic” and I think that works here too

#other than her #idk I really like all the characters the books are really well written #I even like the main character which I usually don’t #JACOB I AM LOOKING AT YOU YOU UGLY BITCH #sry had to get my unnecessary anger out #I think I don’t like Jacob for the same reason I like Rowena #no reason #I did the same thing with Betty Crocker btw #my unnecessary brand loyalty was lost when someone said her brownies were better than mine #MY BROWNIES SLAY SO HARD U DONT EVEN KNOW #wry am so agressive rn😭#serafina series #rowena fox pemberton #serafina and the black cloak

“Dramatic Irony Should Have Limits: Why The First Arc is the Most Infuriating Piece of Media Ever Created” - an essay on why reading the first arc makes me want to rip my hair out and roll around on the floor

#LIKE WHY #WHY SO MUCH FIREHEART KNOWS EVERYTHING BUT OOOO HES TO NOBLE TO BRING UP IMPORTANT FACTS #absolutely unhinged plot #there are other ways to create tension without completely relying on your main character 1)deciding nothing he knows is important #and 2) being fucking stupid #and don’t get me started on petty shit like cloudpaw #saying that starclan isn’t real?? after reading DOTC before the first arc #that is just #vibration worthy #yes the funnyhaha about it being a cult are pretty accurate in a shit ron of ways #and if you assume dotc is the myth rather than an actual retelling or something then it makes sense #but i’m assuming dotc is just point blank cannon history #so that means their religion is completely real #and therefor that cloudpaw is fucking annoying #so he’s really taking after his uncle in that way #i’m in the middle of the 5th book of tpb series #so i’m holding out hope it’s all wrapped up satisfying #but i don’t think i’m ever going to be able to read it all the way through again because it is teeth grinding #i’ll be adding to this post #cat rambling #warriors #text post #warriors tpb #warriors dotc

Wtf did I like to get so much davekat on my for you tab…is all this really just from those goofy karkat jr/rose jr shitposts I was looking at the other day???? Or is it just homestuck in general???

#like nothing against davekat it’s just not a pairing i have much interest in #i mean i like dave. and i like karkat. i just kinda…don’t care abt any ship other than pale gamkar basically #maybe if i could actually find good fics to my taste w/o tripping over gamzee hate i could get more into other ships and characters :/#i mean the dirkjake fic i kinda understand. still dont think mentioning gamzee at ALL was necessary but canon gamkar is…not great.#similar with blood-stained knight of beforus. gamzee WAS necessary in that one and it makes sense for him to be abusive i just wish he wasnt #(of course that whole series was…a lot. good. but a lot. )#but that one spn-esque dirk and dave centric series???? author. author. why tf are you redeeming KURLOZ but villifying gamzee? they did the #EXACT SAME THING you just dont see much of kurloz doing it bc he’s a minor character! if you needed karkat to have trauma use his canonical #mutation and fear of being killed for it instead of showing an absolutely mind-boggling double standard!#*sigh*#i know not everyone is going to interpret my fave the same way as me. but it’d be nice if he didn’t get so much hate #marijn talks #marijn rambles in the tags #rant in the tags #not tagging with main tags i dont need my tag rant sparking discourse
