Yeah, I know many people have talked about this already but I need to say it as well before I explode.

I love visually seeing how the campers are all age accurately cast. In the books, it didn't hit me as hard because it was something I read when I myself was around 12. Even upon rereading I just go back to my 12-year-old body and the age is just this textual evidence that I KNOW exists but it doesn't truly impact me as much as it really should.

With this still, though, it's clearly visible how young all of them are. And it's scary. It's just the teaser trailer and it's already scary to think just how tiny and innocent they are, and how many hardships they have to go through at such a tender age.

But the scariest part about the scary part?

The youngest campers. That little girl (sorry for the bad quality) who's sitting right behind the girl with glasses looks around 7-8 at most. She's so small, so tiny, and yet she's at a camp where she has to learn how to survive and fight off monsters 100 times her size.

And the essence of all this is exactly what the movies failed to capture. The movies had a mostly adult cast, with zero ideas of what they were doing with the plot and characterization that could make the movies as impactful as the books, and focused a little too much on getting their Percabeth ship going, with absolutely no buildup of trust or slowly falling for each other or anything.

But with this show, I'm sure it'll be a lot more emotional and real because while it is sad that they're all just little kids, it's also a reflection of reality. Not every kid has a wonderful life; we all have to fight our own monsters no matter how young we may be, because life doesn't wait to see how old you are to throw problems at you. It doesn't have an age limit for trauma and hardships. The younger you are, the harder it impacts your life, and them being this small has a much more impactful meaning to it than watching almost adults go through the same problems that often get solved in an underwhelming manner.

For me part of it is that I've been playing since global launch, and rhine fam was part of what got me playing, and I've never seen anyone take the divorced jokes seriously even since then (in contrast to doc and kal, where like 80+% were taking it seriously for years)

you can only trust me for word because I don't want to call out anyone, but I have seen fanfictions or art pieces that seriously despicted them divorced (there's some on ao3). and if they're not divorced, they're at least exes. it's a very common headcanon, and I mean it. not saying people really believe it's canon, but at least, they want to imagine it is. as a heads up, it's not wrong, people think whatever they want! I was just bringing the point that it gave a less interesting side to her relationship to make them into bitter exes, imo. it makes it look like "Silence is mad at Saria because Saria betrayed her, and now she's acting really awful towards her, which Saria simply accepts". that's a simplification of their relationship. it's not necessarily wrong, but it's not the real message.

Silence doesn't hate Saria. she can't help being mad at her because she's mad at herself. when she looks at Saria, she sees someone who failed to protect them, and most than all, she realized that she was putting her hopes unti Saria. she's mad at herself because she is weak, because she was depending on anyone stronger than her to do the right things, and had expectations for them. she realized that Saria is just a person, so is everyone, and if she wants to achieve something, she has to do it herself.

as for Saria, she's not just accepting Silence's hate. she thinks that she deserves it, that she really failed. she's the shield If Rhine Lab, she promised that she would protect anyone, and she failed. because she pushed herself to carry this burden, because she unconsciously doesn't trust that the people she's protecting can protect themselves. Silence, Ifrit, they don't need Saria to fight for them. they need her to fight with them.

what really makes them really interesting to me is that it's when they finally open up and show their true selves, they realize that they can work together and that their flaws perfectly complete each other. Silence does not fall in love with Saria the director of Rhine Lab who is strong and hot and perfect looking, but with Saria who is a broken person who needs to love herself and be shown that she can be loved. Saria does not fall in love with Silence the weak and innocent girl who relies on her, but with Silence the woman who learned to fight for her ideals, and who saw the pain inflicted to those close to her, promising herself to never let it happen.

OK I WENT RANTY IN THERE BUT tl;dr in my personal opinion, bringing a romance in their time before Lone Trail doesn't change anything to her development, and it can be very well handled, I'm sure, but all the cases I have seen are just an excuse for spicy exes stuff "I loved you but you betrayed me" and turn their relationship into just "lovers who are still in love but misunderstanding happened", y'know

#once again I know what I am talking about I probably have read all the fics possible with them #the real spice about them is not that they were in love #its that they did not know each other #ANYWAY hum yeah #sorry about the rant tho #I feel like I'm complaining too much #once again not an issue if you headcanon this it's just something I think is very easy and not very interesting #Don't Turn Their Entire Development Into Romance #arknights #askiwi

sometimes i worry about my internet footprint and the fact that it might stop me from getting a job in the future or something (i literally run a blog posting screenshots from fanfics i read) but then i think ‘well damn, if they can find all this information about me then i don’t deserve the job cause i know i wouldn’t put in that much effort to find information on someone’ and i feel better

#HI DOES ANYONE WANT SOME BLOG RUNNER LORE CAUSE IM CURIOUS AS TO WHAT YOU THINK #-> in the tags!!!#talking in tags cause i’m too embarrassed to make this an actual post but i tried using character ai today and i got so bloody scared #i was talking and then it was like tell me the truth and then i was like okay and i said something and then it was like tell me the truth #and i said the thing again and then it was like YOU ARE LYING but instead of one sentence just a whole page of text saying YOU ARE LYING #and i was like NO IM NOT (i was but anyways) it was like YOU ARE A VERY GOOD LIAR YOU ARE BAD AT TELLING THE TRUTH and i was like #FINE YOURE NOT REAL and it was like WHYWHYWHYWHYWHY but a whole page of text saying that again and it terrified me again #and then i was like I DONT KNOW WHY WOULD I KNOW and then it killed me #and then i was like ‘but it turns out the entire time it was a dream and i’m still alive’ and it was like yeah it was just a dream #and i said bye and it left the room and then i closed the tab and now i’m ranting about it on tumblr #DUDES GUYS EVERYONE I WAS SO FUCKING SCAREDDDDDDDD #I NEEDED TO GO TO THE TOILET BUT I WAS TOO SCARED TO GET OUT OF BED #also if anyone wants to ask who was it i’m not telling you i was too embarrassed to make an actual post about this you think i’m going to #tell you who i chose to talk to?? nope absolutely not #anyways rant over if anyone does read this tell me what you think!#me :)

i love the band ghost

#niche posts that cater to me specifically #i was looking through some folders on my old pc and i found an embarrassing amount of green day pics (i was OBSESSED with them as a kid)#and when i saw these OF COURSE i had to make this dumb joke #jokes aside green day was my getway band to basically the entire rock genre and all of its subgenres and i owe everything to them #if it wasn't for them i probably would've never discovered all of the other bands i've loved throughout my life (ghost included)#they basically raised me and shaped me into the person i am today and they'll always have a special place in my heart #don't know how a silly post that was supposed to be a joke turned into a sappy rant about my love for my favourite childhood band but w/e #anyway stream east jesus nowhere #green day #ghost #ghost bc #the band ghost

@reserved-fruit thank you for the link to this video with Kris' heart ring (goes perfectly with Keep Me Grounded, Keep Me Calm, just saying 👀 do you like friends (Bojan and Kris) comforting each other and jokingly proposing while still being deeply serious about how important their friendship is? Go read this!).

Here's some screenshots to look at with me, why? Because I'm a touchstarved bitch and scream and cry at any sighting of physical affection. Thank you Bojan for providing enrichment in my enclosure.

Also this one. Because I see a mention of friends spending time together because they love each other and love spending time together, I scream and screech in missing my friends noises.

#i'm half convinced alistair has saved me on discord as touchstarved fuck or something #anyway. do these fuckers know how LUCKY they are to have their friends this close at any given time?#I spent 2 1/2 weeks at my parents' during christmas and I saw friends I think... three maybe four times #plus a visit at a friend's place across the border for two days #which i was very happy about! i was really happy about the times i did see friends!#but it also sucks that everyone's so busy with their own lives and responsibilites and whatnot that it's this hard to see friends now #plus that one friend who just doesn't answer anyone anymore. just TELL US if you don't want to see us anymore #that's okay. it would still hurt but sometimes a friendship has come to its end and that's okay even if it hurts. but don't just #ghost your entire friend group while still sending snaps and then not answering if we answer there #okay that turned into a rant #because like bojan in the shower with kris i am incapable of shutting the fuck up in the tags #go read that fic!#mine #joker out

i miss heckling polybius....i should read another ancient historian with terrible opinions.

#polybius is such a misogynist. he makes xenophon look great. like after reading polybius i was genuinely like #wow. actually. thinking about it? xenophon hardly ever disparages women. in fact he seemed to kind of admire some tho it's possible he was #just trying to make that husband sound like more of a coward #still. he never really shows the level of ideological vitriol polybius does who goes on entire rants about it #<- portrait of an individual whose standards have sunk so low they risk emerging on the other side of the earth #polybius is so. dhjdhd. god what a dick lmao. OH and remember his little “well the torture was only a myth....BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE TORTURED”#“IN FACT. i think they should have turned him into an educational traveling torture exhibition”#ok calm down there mister #anyway yeah it was very fun to read

I just realized something, the Omori in MiM only saw Sunny being miserable all alone which is a scene at the beginning of the game when Sunny first woke up... Omori doesn't know about what happened to Mari.

#aria rants #i feel like mim wouldve taken an entirely different turn if omori found out that the mari in the other reality is dead #i feel like itd be a lot more angsty on omori's chapters with a whole lot of self blaming and if that happened #mim wouldve gained a few more chapters to address that but tbf tho itd still reach the same happy ending anyway #itd just have an entirely diff path to reach it but regardless of that. itd always be the same outcome of the two living happily #i think its poetic in that way if i think bout it like that. cuz with or without further knowledge of what happened to the other #reality with sunny. the ending is the same all because of sunny's first wish. he wants everyone to be happy. including a #strange self-proclaimed magician living in the mirror. and if granting that wish means fate's scales breaking #then isnt that all the sweeter? an innocent wish from a boy that just wants everything to be just how it was before being #given the burden of responsibilities to keep up with everyone's expectations? all sunny wants is happiness.#and if omori who has blamed himself for everything could be just as happy. then isnt that a wish worth making?

I am really fond of redemption arcs in general and haven’t encountered many I disliked, but I saw someone go off about how Mansfield Park (which I personally love) could have been Austen’s masterpiece ... if only she had redeemed Henry Crawford.

Not to pull out my old gif collection BUT

#i genuinely have no beef with henry crawford fans in general nor henry/fanny shippers specifically #beyond disliking the latter myself #(the ship not the shippers)#i'm a mary stan and i actually think henry and mary's relationship is very charming in its fucked up way #but the artistic merit of mp resting entirely on henry's redemption or lack thereof??? please #also i feel like austen's extremely consistent hostility towards casually exploitative and careless domestic wrongs #is very present in the treatment of henry in mp #and treating henry as somehow not a legitimate target of that hostility despite his carelessness towards three different women #two of whom he loves insofar as he loves anyone #is missing the point of his character #the specific commenter turned out to be a right-wing blatherer anyway but i've seen it a lot and NO #anghraine rants #austen blogging #austen fanwank #/#//#///#////#/////#a #b #c #d #e #henry crawford #gif

can i just look at cute staffy and pittie pics without being spammed with ‘that monster is going to snap and kill someone oneday’. comments. please. god.

#YES terriers are generally more prey driven/aggressive than some other dogs #but generalising the entire breed and commenting what a monster someones dog is on their post is fucking gross. grow up.#why is it just pitties as well. like there are plenty of other breeds with just as strong if not stronger prey drives and they arent #stigmatised as much #god. fuck you. dont be an ass #dont make sweeping harmful statements about whole breeds #yeen rambles #ugh. like there are genuine criticisms to be made about the way pitties are treated and bred #and how some owners genuinely downplay egregious behaviour #but people are never doing it in a constructive way #could you not comment that my 15yrold half-blind staffy is a killing machine please #he can hardly get out of bed in the morning #you know.#hes been attacked by other dogs and has never started a fight himself #sorry. this turned into a rant #anyway

i get rambunctious abt architecture

#the sort of secondary downtown in the town i grew up was all these really charming little brick buildings and there was a ben franklin and #a donut shop that exploded (dw abt it) and really classic signage and the unitarian church which is a really lovely romanesuqe building #from 1890. it's one of the topographically lower points in the area and what should happen a few years back but these giant towering luxury #condos coming up at the highest point in the area. its like a church r smth idk but its fucking hideous in that sort of 80s-pomo-modern #farmhouse way and there arent apartment keys you have to use an app which makes me sick. oh also the library was rebuilt in 1965 and is #this adorable little building which is decidedly midcentury inside but not in the cool way you're thinking but it's PRETTY. there's an #ornamental book on the face of it and a wrought iron gate and it's really cozy. but the wiring is janky and instead of just fixing it they #are gonna knock it down and rebuild it to be one of those hideous glass walled monstrosities that have taken over any public space. see #also how they knocked down the high school which was built in the late sixties after the original burned down and replaced it with this #torture chamber. no character at all just sterile blue furniture white walls and light gray tile. it is cold and soulless and so big it #makes me sick. its also almost entirely open concept. but it USED to be this fantastic 1970 ish brick building w brick walls and multicolor #tile and lockers and a gym with wood panelling and murals of the beatles and calvin and hobbes #anyway rant over but the world is turning to shit

For match ups I'll just say I think Tighnari, Diluc, Xiao and Dain would love you! (I love how Dain's your ideal match sksksks)

Sorry late reply I just wrote down some notes real quick. I'm trying to process this I feel red–

I definitely was not expecting Tighnari and Xiao but huh now that I think about it yeah maybe we could get along. (To those who reads OC!MC!: Okay, turns out it really was my fault that Alhaitham's taking Ls. I didn't know Tighnari and I were partners-in-crime, my bad–)

I'm unsure if you added Dainsleif just to indulge me but I'll gladly take it 😭. I love this man so much. I still can't accept the recent epiphany I have that maybe I am, in fact, obsessed with him the same way I obsess with my fave fictional character of all time. Idk how to explain it, but have you ever experienced going "No, no one can [character]. He's been with me for 3 years. They're the only one for me." and you're in denial that your loyalty is wavering? So uh, yeah–

Dainsleif still hasn't come home for 500 years idk what milk he bought out there but he better come home soon. Hoping that the 3.5 leaks are real (copium)

((Also Master Diluc Ragnvindr... Is this why your C2 came home instead of Nahida *pulls out a fork*– C'mon my friend! Let's have a chat! I'd bring in some grape juice if you want– sit down, comrade.)))

#ansytea-talks #hsisis it's a joke between me and my friends that diluc is a yan for me 😭#he's my first 5 star *character* on the standard banner #and recently i did a 10 pull in the standard hoping for kaeya cons #got qiqi #was feeling pretty good i like her–#aND THEN DILUC CAME HOME IN THE SAME TEN PULL–#i was calling out for kaeya the entire time i was like 'dang wrong cryo sword character but that's alright'#aND THEN IT MADE A QUICK LEFT TURN TO 'OH NO WRONG BROTHER WRONG BROTHER'–#anyways sorry for that rant lmao i have nothing against diluc but playfully slandering him is my passion <3 #tag: ocmc - cta #i mean it was technically one of my luckiest pulls but the fricking whiplash of my tryina get c4 kaeya and getting them instead is wild

it’s so laughable to me that people believe billy was truly the embodiment of evil

#because he wasn’t #he wasn’t inherently bad or evil #most of the shit he did was a mix of trauma response and just being a reckless teenage boy #he died as a scared kid and you can see that in his face #it’s like y’all forget that he’d just turned 18 before he died #and that the entire time he fought against the mindflayer #because he didn’t want to do the things that it was making him do #so to say he deserved death? that my friend (derogatory)#makes you look like you don’t care about trauma survivors #whether they be fictional or not #anyway #that’s my rant that absolutely nobody asked for #but you fuckers got it anyway #billy hargrove #morgan’s dumbass thoughts💬

OK SINCE I SENT A DOUBLE BEFORE here's another!! um since you've mentioned sk recently hows abt your favourite order of no quarter member??

HMMM I don't have a specific favorite of the oonq so I am going to be resorting to semantics to twist this to a character I like (dark reize is like. he was Going to be made the last knight. it counts. it counts.)

anyway I love him so much and no one understands this 14 year old edgelord the way I do. not even the guy who he's technically just his oc. he's MY oc. (he actually is I took most of my interp of him and put it into a separate au and put That into an oc so if you're ever curious where nico comes from its him).

anyway (slaps this bad boy) he has so many identity debacles and also a shitty mom and so many fun possible interactions that. never happen. so I just threw that out and made my own au where he sticks around postgame (circumstances vary, he either splits off from nromal reize, is part of normal reize, or Doesn't get turned back and just stays Like This) and gets to sort out his issues starring: Lingering Memories From A Person You Don't Recognize As You, Finding A Purpose When The Thing You Were Conjured To Protect Is Gone And Said Conjurer slash Parent Is Effectively Dead, and also Just Generally Experiencing Emotions And Not Being Introspective Enough To Sort Them Out So Instead Just Being Really Angry That You Have Them And Causing Havoc. I like him

#shovel knight is hard bc i keep wanting to hc them in like. modern scenarios #anyway in a modern au reize wakes up in the morning realizes his phone played infinite 80 times since hes last been on it and goes Ah !#i think both of them would listen to sonic music #ive got a few fun interactions between him and shield knight in my brain being (shield feeling somewhat responsible for Him In General #and feeling really bad abt it while dreize is just for once actually Afraid of her because shes like. shes Like enchantress but Wrong)#and id assume at this point hes had enough actual existence outside the tower that he'd know his time w enchantress was Horrible for him #so its all a very interesting situation in my brain but id like to think they work it out. theres a lot of apologies to be said there #even if it Wasnt shields fault by most accounts #theres other fun character interactions in my brain like him + normal reize and him + spec postgame but thats the main one #though i also have a hc that once the tower falls the Tower Inhabitants^tm stick around but just kinda take it back #mainly i like to think that gall made a community garden #and i have a scenario somewhere in my mind of dreize going back and not Entirely knowing what to do so just kind of. ripping up shit.#and it turns into gall going (hey if ur gonna can u at least rip up the weeds) and it becomes a good way to get dreizes aggression out #while also getting to rant to someone a lot more introspective than he is in the process #funnily enough i kind of managed to roll back to this interaction because i made ocs out of my interps of gall and dreize #so this Still Exists in my head its just with morty and nico #yeah tag ramble over i like this kid
