#AND TAKES THE BLOW TO SAVE THEM

[queersouthasian]

If I see one person saying shit like "Babe deserved it, he was always harsh with charlie” (no he wasn't, the only times he was harsh were the times he was manipulated by way's bitchass self and thought Charlie was going to betray him, makes sense he has spent majority of his life being betrayed, but Charlie never did and never will, every lie he says is FOR BABE, he unnecessary never lies, and everytime babe thought charlie lied against him, he got the reassurance that Charlie would never and with time Charlie has build this trust, he never gave up even when babe misunderstood 'cause he knows how much babe went through so he makes sure babe knows that his lie was to save him, it's always to save him and that relaxes babe, Charlie could become so much more than just a lover to babe because he took his time to build that safe space and trust between them even if the situation didn't let them) I would start swinging.

#lgbtq #bl drama #pit babe the series #neither deserved whatever they got #THEY LOVE EACH OTHER A LOT #AND BOTH ARE SO PROTECTIVE AND CARING IN THEIR OWN WAYS #CHARLIE PUSHES BABE AWAY FROM DANGER #WHEREAS BABE WANTS TO FIGHT FOR/WITH CHARLIE #CHARLIE KNOWS DOESN'T MATTER WHAT #JEFF'S FUTURE WILL COME TRUE #IF THEY CONTINUE #SO HE PUSHES BABE AWAY #PUSHES JEFF AWAY #AND TAKES THE BLOW TO SAVE THEM #TO SAVE BABE #AND DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH BABE SUFFERES #HE WOULD KNOW CHARLIE WOULD DO EVERYTHING #JUST FOR HIM

controversially I do think that the under the red hood comic ending is a solid answer to “how do you get Batman to kill someone without breaking him as a character”

#That is if you think Jason died at the end of utrh which I sorta do #they were arguing about this exact thing on Twitter the other day and someone brought up the utrh movie ending. I was like nah. Bring up th #Other one. Bruce was in a situation where he was trying to save two people who were determined to either die or kill the other person #(or kill everyone in the room maybe) and by trying to do the typical Batman thing and choose neither/both of them. They took the opportunit #to choose for him. Joker takes the opportunity to set off the explosives sealing Jason’s fate and in a new favorite interpretation of mine: #Jason chooses not to dodge the batarang and lets Bruce deal him a fatal blow. Moral of the story: not everyone can be saved #Jason Todd #Batman #under the red hood #dc #Bruce Wayne

"It's just you now. Take care of mother."

i have the normal amount of emotions about them (lying) <3

#a redraw but also not really cus i ended up tracing a lot from the old one hfldsjdfs #it was only supposed to be for reference but i ended up keep messing w it instead of redrawing it proper...... #feel like i got his expression down better in the old one; looks more strained/ hearbroken like i feel #but thats fine #my art #my ocs #oc: liam hawke #i'm still not sure if liam or varric is the one who deals the killing blow #love both the thought of liam having his own sisters blood on his hands and never being able to wash it off fully #or his (future) best friend saving him that fate but now having that stand between them #cus liam would be grateful for it but part of him would always remember that and hold it against him #(both options also make the bartrand encounter crunchy in slightly different ways) #either way in that moment he kind of hates varric for even just being there. and fenris too #(though tbh im not sure how realistic it would be for him to take sb else except bethy and varric down into the deep roads) #((so maybe in canon fen wouldnt be there idk. havent decided this yet either)) #logically he knows its not fair ofc but it just feels like an invasion of privacy. it feels Wrong. #they have no place in this they shouldnt have been there they shouldnt have been part of it they shouldnt have seen him like this #but its sth that binds them too #the rest of the trek is miserable and awkward for all of them in any case #but yeah. #idk if they would be able to bury her down here properly so maybe they end up doing it via lava? #theyre not leaving her body out in the open to rot and/or become food for darkspawn or spiders thats for sure

And another thing! Literally any queer story that takes place during the colonial age would have a huge gaping hole in it if it didn't have anticolonialism as a theme. Especially one that centers indigenous people. Like the reason that every culture had their own concepts of gender until something happened and then suddenly the gender binary was ubiquitous is because western European colonial powers made their view of gender the only acceptable one as part of christianizing and colonizing the world. You're not gonna have a show set in 1717 in the Caribbean where the love interest is a gay Maori man and the main deuteragonist is a non-binary mestizo catholic and just skip over colonialism. Like these are exactly the people who western gender roles are being forced on at fucking gun point during this era. Jim and Ed are both mixed race characters who's gender and sexual identities are in active defiance of the colonial powers that be. And this is the fucking Stede Ed and Jim show.

And there's something to be said for the fact that Stede's toxic masculinity plot line is internalized and Ed's struggle with toxic masculinity is largely external in the form a white guy who rubs elbows with the British Navy when Ed doesn't behave to his standard of masculinity. That choice didn't come out of nowhere and it shows a deep understanding of where homophobia comes from. That's not to say that precolonial communities of color were paradise for people that we today would consider queer but the rich tapestry of sexual and gender expressions that existed in those communities were erased in the name of colonialism. That's going to affect literally any queer person at the time when OFMD is set. These two things are inextricably linked.

Like when David Jenkins says a lot of what we're taught about being men is wrong, motherfucker who taught us what a man was. Who taught Ed what a man was? Who taught Stede what a man was for that matter? It's the white dad with the English accent who is violent (derogatory) and overbearing.

Like you get what I'm saying right? Like it's a silly little rom com but also it must necessarily be that deep because of who these characters are and when and where they exist.

#ofmd meta #Our Flag walks the line like a fucking tight rope acrobat and I'm not gonna let fake fans sleep on that #like they depict things aesthetically without actually depicting them sometimes #ill talk about the aesthetics of episode 9 all fucking day #in universe what happens is Ed signs a paper with an x either because hes illiterate or because he doesnt want to sign it #and is resting on the assumption that hes illiterate to get away with not signing it either as longform fuckery or to soften the blow #and he signs it to save his white boyfriend from getting fucking shot #and then he goes to a privateering academy where he does enjoy folding socks and he's liberated from his black beard and hes cool with that #everything is more or less his choice which makes it palatable and doesnt completely take the tone somewhere dark and harrowing #BUT ALSO what were seeing is the British Military forcing an indigenous man to sign a document and he does so with an x #and then taking him to a secondary fucking school ass school away from his community where hes forced to change his appearance #but also they let him keep his hair so that they dont step on that particular trauma #im vibrating what the fuck is this show #how do they do it? #Like seriously this has been a comedy show????? #And don't tell me I'm reading into it too much episode 2 primes us to think about colonialism

I just think that since Gale is likely considered False by the gods, implying that he ends up in the Fugue plane for eternity if he dies, a galemancer durge who takes the accept bhaal->gale blows up the brain->kill themself route should get to live with him there for eternity in their epilogue

#aww limbo romance <3 maybe they can go live in a githzerai monastery #like even if he has in fact taken mystra's charge by blowing up he ALSO was being blasphemous as hell #fuckin his partner in the astral sea and comparing them to the gods and shit. like Mystra isn't taking his soul from the fugue lol #and even if she would I reckon he'd still be waiting around for judgement when durge arrives and when he sees them he'd refuse to go #like maybe he'd get the wall or eternal torture in canon but I'd like to believe kelemvor would be merciful toward a guy who saved the world #bg3 #gale dekarios #the dark urge #gale x the dark urge #gale x durge

ngl these "which eoran god is/isn't problematic" polls make me wanna rant about Magran but I don't have the braincells rn

edit: i did end up ranting in the tags whoopsie lmao

#hablaty #I love magran as a character and as an... imperfect to say the least goddess #but I will also blow a gasket if my fire godlike watcher won't ever get the option to drive a sword through her heart #bc holy shit do i also hate her #she too is a ''god of staying in your lane'' really she only ever steps in to intervene if some god or another starts shit #thing is tho: her followers aren't like her #a lot of folks of the violent murder hobo variety is drawn to her bc god of fire and war and whatnot #but if you read the codex entries on her she doesn't actually urge people to start wars #the doctrines are actually more along the lines of ''don't start shit take no shit'' or idk #don't go out of your way to start a conflict for no reason but be always ready for war basically #she pushes people to embrace their power and strive for bettering themselves through struggle #problem is that bc like i said she ghosts her followers a lot of her followers will just take these doctrines to justify their atrocities #she doesn't want eothasians gone bc she doesn't care enough about them to want that #she doesn't want animancers gone bc she supports animancy #but she won't stop her followers bc she doesn't interfere with kith unless she has to protect them from the other gods #but also on the flip side if she does step in she will stop at nothing to win #even if that means building god killing weapons and then having her priests off themselves deploying it #even if that means wiping out her own fire giant children in a volcanic eruption (whomst you can save btw pls save the rathunn they're nice #and even if that means eating the souls of her godlike children who #magran is incredible cruel and also very cool and I have very complex feelings on her and just aaaa

I am a normal man who is obsessed with Alfonse Fire Emblem. Come closer -- wait nevermind don't worry about it 🧍👍

#one thing about me is i have always felt undersirable and unwanted and burdensome and the only time i HAVE felt desired #is when i was not myself. i am also deeply aware of respectability politics being a sham and #if your spirit dies you die in real life. BECOME UNPALATABLE. BECOME UNDESIRABLE. #spikes on my shoes and jacket ... save me...... save me spikes on my shoes and jacket. #take back your narrative! take back control! become the monster you were made to feel like become the monster they fear! #the circumstances are not circumstances if you make them your choice. #AND when everyone is put off by me and hates me and wants me dead. well! that's for the best! #in the face of love i feel nothing but the fear and confusion of an injured prey animal. #ANOTHER thing about me. is that i stay silly 🥰🥰🥰😇😇💝💘💓💖💝💞💞💝💖💕💗💘💖💞💖💘💞💕💗💖💞💕💖💘💘 #anyways therapy is going really well.

something from the book i so wish had been in the tbosas movie is the way snow thinks lucy gray is below him...and the fact that he never grows out of it (which doesn't mean he doesn't like her, he just also kind of despises her and people like her). when i reread the book i had just seen killers of the flower moon and snow and lucy gray's relationship was very reminiscent of ernest and mollie's relationship for me like when king hale asks ernest "can you stand [mollie's] kind?" even though their kind were doing unspeakable things to her kind? snow and lucy gray's relationship is very much like that to me and there's also the power he has over her by literally being responsible for her life and idk i feel like if you only watch the movie you can delude yourself into thinking he's somewhat overcome his prejudice against people from the districts by falling in love with a girl who isn't from the capitol when he never does he thinks they're savages from day 1 to day like 60 and he thinks it on day 55 too

#it's like this racial thing kind of which is why it really reminded me of killers of the flower moon because yeah that's a movie about #white people marrying into native families and killing them and inheriting their money and about leonardo dicaprio's character poising his #wife to do that and blowing up her sister's house. etc #and so i don't care about people being like oh snow's hot because like that's the face of an actor of course people would think that lol #but the takes i see about him and lucy gray's relationship i'm like. huh. #also the possessiveness. i could actually go on for quite a while about the changes in their dynamic that makes it not hit like it did in #the book or like he's still kinda possessive i guess but it's a little aw her ex-boyfriend is the reason why she was a tribute of course he #doesn't like him. when like. he legit thinks of her as belonging to him. in many ways #also the one change that i think shows that their relationship is portrayed differently in significant ways in the movie is the fact that #when he wakes up in the hospital he immediately tells tigris and sejanus that lucy gray saved him when in the book he was literally like NO #ONE CAN EVER KNOW #i was like oh! #and when you change that it's kind of like. what's the point then #there's also something to be said about how he says she's not really from 12 and about how it's unfair she had to live there at all. and #her not really being from 12 is something she says herself but! #also while i was reading the book i was totally reminded of the quote from that guy who made the last of us about how #intense hate is universal and about vengeance #like literally okay coriolanus snow #and like i say: brf slt

smth smth fawn’s self rivalry in the siblings!au

#gideon shut the hell up challenge #bc we keep randomly thinking abt how Absolutely Devastating the museum is in sibs!au it ofc led to #us thinking abt the heartache of having to see river take up the sidestep name #to have (who you think is) some stranger waltz in and just stake a claim on arguably the single most important thing in your life #(read: the sidestep name bc it’s all you have left of ur brothers) #BUT. then we started thinking abt how they Also take up the sidestep name again #and the agonizing self-loathing and Constant Mourning that they go through every time they commit a crime #bc it’s not just their own hero memory who they are corrupting and bastardizing but Their Brothers’…….. #fawn in the sibs!au is literally the equivalent of being so broken and bloodied and still dragging yourself onward #bc what other choice do you have? #ALSO !!!! bc we love to discuss fawn treating destroying the exhibition as a self-inflicted funeral. #knowing that in the sibs!au they probs only intended to remove their own self ?? but spare cyrus and river’s?? #except then cyrus goes and blows up the fucking museum !!!!!! #I know for a fact they’re too busy helping w evacuations to actually manage to detour and save any of it too #bc they def would’ve considered it. genuinely inconsolable later when ric talks to them abt it. #bc here’s the thing. it may not have happened in actual book canon but I know in my heart he would sit them down and explain that nothing #of the sidestep exhibit could be recovered. which is fine for Just fawn but when u include the brothers ??? absolutely not #angie also is the one who chases fawn off which makes it even more fun bc they Just run from her they don’t super fight #and genuinely…. idk if they could have right then !!!! I think they’d be way too distracted and shocked to manage it #keeping up with the beckers

Tom has suchhhh thin skin for social dings like hello?? It feels not just sensitive but entitled. He can’t even stand a night of low level rude comments? And he angrily blames his wife for not destroying their combined position defending him each and every time? Like the real victory would be taking the rude comments in stride but then working to either not get fired or moving laterally or up to a great position anyway.

But no he has to have his ego stroked 24/7 especially by his wife because that’s literally what his “career” is about.

#Obviously they’re all entitled but this post is about Tom in s4 e7 #tom wambsgans #succession #hbo succession #gotta know this was a truly irrational egotistical tantrum on toms part #because blowing shit up with shiv doesn’t help him at all #I get being sensitive even in this way but he’s always trying to blow up at her to communicate this it’s so stupiddddd #on shivs part she constitutively does not expect anyone she respects to not be able to take that kind of heat #for better and worse like I’m not saying it’s healthy for her #but like if he thought about her psychology for 2 seconds he could expect and either accept this or move on and save them both the trouble #or i guess try to help her respect his sensitivity but like. be real. it’s not changing over night and it’s not changing by passive aggro or #or open aggro fights with her #if shiv were that whiny people would tear her apart and call #her every name imaginable

Deciding to take a moment to give her a lesson himself, Randall explained, “Well, uh, if you do get cold, or you just want some fresh water, what you gotta do is pull the stopper down there...”

Rolling up his sleeve, he reached into the water to point out the stopper, before pulling out and gesturing back to the knobs, explaining, “And once the tub is empty, you can put it back and then refill it-this one, with the H on it? That stands for hot, and the one with the C here stands for cold.”

As he explained this to her, a curious question crossed his mind: What colors could Emily see? Could she see all the colors he could, or did sirens have a different way of seeing them? Was she colorblind? To be completely honest, he wasn’t even sure what kinds of colors fish could see, and he found himself briefly frowning in thought-maybe after dinner, he’d show her some of his color swatches and tell her what each one was.

“Randall! Soup’s on, come and get it!”

“Coming, Ma!” he called back, before smiling back to Emily, saying, “I’ll be back up after dinner!” before hustling out of the room, eager to get himself a big bowl of hot potato soup and spend a little time with his folks before he had to get back to work.

#((oh man; if constance so much as looks at the paces funny there's gonna be hell to pay!)) #((constance has already done emily harm; beating her and leaving her for dead; and the pace family's kindness that saved her)) #((and between that; the bond she's formed with all of them; and her love for randall; she won't let ANYTHING happen to them)) #((so she'll be getting some serious payback when she returns to the bayou! and i feel the paces wouldn't let emily face her alone)) #((and would do whatever they could to help emily: they've heard about her; they all know what she's done to emily)) #((and her wanton cruelty in general; and will no doubt help take her down for good!)) #((i think emily should be the one to deal the killing blow but i don't think the paces will sit idly by and watch the fight go down!)) #outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Part of Your World

"in a completely predictable twist of fate literally everyone saw coming, youve put yourself in danger again. this is great. i love when you put yourself in danger it doesnt make me insane in the head at all. i wish you would stop doing this. i know youre not gonna. so im just gonna do whatever i can that will make you get yourself, and also us i guess, out of danger again"

#i love yaz #i feel like this is basically a permanent state she lives in from revolution onward #maybe it already was before that but i think timeless children+revolution made the doctor a lot more fragile to her #like how easily she actually might just die and how it would very easily just kinda be by her own hand like #kinda sunk in i think #maybe yazs situation is less 'i can fix her' and more 'i can save her from herself' #and she Can #probably #but damn its like a 24/7 kinda job that #'i cant keep doing this with you' no i can imagine girlie do you sleep #do you knock her out wiht sedatives so you can sleep fghkjghjk #minkowski style #i also love when yaz prompts her. i dont actually know if she does it more than like ryan or graham but it feels like she does it #relatively a lot #and i like it #third thing i love is taking the tiniest canon things and blowing them up to really not canon anymore proportions and playing with that #like what if 13s depressive/hopeless streak+immense pressure she puts on herself re: saving people turns into this like #drop of a hat type shutdowns whenever theres a thing she doesnt immediately have a solution for #and its not like shes incapable of generating ideas right obviously #but i Can imagine - with her....state of mind - that sometimes it can take like half a second longer for her brain to actually start genera #ing those ideas #and so for that half a second shes basically like a rat swimming in a bucket and just Stops #and yaz has to be like hey yo dont forget you exist. keep moving #and then she keeps moving again and shes fine #well not fine but like. moving #i think abt yaz innnnnn resolution when shes like 'doctor i dont like it when you go quiet' #and how in spyfall is the first time she goes still etc #i think its so jarring when 13 goes still and quiet like its basically the cloister bell ringing its a clear sign smth is Wrong #and i think her options are either That or like. frantic inhuman need to move. like its Move or Not Move and neithe ris great but MOve feel #slightly less bad
