It still boggles my mind that OG L'Manburg era c!Wilbur wasn't widely regarded as a villain he is such a fucking slimy asshole it's incredible like the man plans to "use the TommyInnits of the world" to build himself an industry and calls Tubbo "clay to be molded" in the very first stream he decided to be a danger to society from the get-go.

Just saw Dune II for the second time and I'm really obsessed with the rebirth we see throughout the first two movies. The first time Paul kills a man, Paul Atreides dies and Mau'dib Usul is born. In his visions in the first movie he sees himself stabbed, killed on Jamis' blade. Because Paul Atreides dies when he kills Jamis. And Jamis' death heralds forth Mau'dib Usul, and quite literally guides him forth. Mau'dib dies when he takes the water of life, and Paul Mau'dib Atreides, duke of Arrakis is born. He is their Lisan al Gaib now, and he is no longer fighting it. Chani loved Mau'dib Usul, but she leaves behind Paul Mau'dib, because he is not her Paul any longer.
And the final rebirth is what really gets me. When Paul Mau'dib Atreides, Duke of Arrakis, becomes Emperor Atreides. In that moment, he dies on the blade of Feyd-Rautha. Feyd-Rautha was supposed to bring forth the god emperor with Paul, and in a way, he does. His blade is what brings forth the final rebirth of Paul.
And this final form of Paul is so alone. He stands alone (except for the women in his life, they're the real powerful ones here and always have been) while everyone kneels, he pulls the blade from his own shoulder and nobody moves forwards to help him, he has ascended into a complete and lonely godhood. Because that is what he's made himself.
It's SOOO good. AUGH.

Ranted about this guy to my discord server but they got distracted---so Tumblr gets to hear about it instead.
Yeah he's my Dr. Strange dragon.
'Short' rundown on his lore: (A TW FOR DEATH!)
When he was little, his father left and his mother died. (Sounds like the beginning of hamilton----) leaving him with just his older brother and little sister. (Older brother currently unnamed, little sister is named Mirrordawn.)
Soon enough, his older brother dissapeared, presumed to be dead, so Strangesight was left to take care of Mirrordawn.
Eventually, he was found by a night/silkwing by the name of Runeweaver (image below)
She takes him and his sister to a large palace carved into the uncharted mountains past the sky kingdom.
There he meets a dragon known only as The Ancient One. The Ancient One (just TAO from here on out) tells Strangesight that this is a school of magic, for gifted animus dragons to learn how to control and maintain their magic.
Runeweaver and TAO quickly take Strangesight under their wings as an apprentice, Mirrordawn being watched over by some of the caretakers of the school.
One day, Strangesight, Mirrordawn, and a few other dragonets were playing outside on a frozen lake, when suddenly the ice breaks and Mirrordawn falls through. After a sickening few seconds, a young icewing dives in after her and pulls her out, but she already looks worse for wear. The other dragonets sort of leave one by one, leaving Strangesight with Mirrordawn.
Someone must've told TAO, because he shows up. Strangesight begs for TAO to heal Mirrordawn, but TAO refuses, telling Strangesight that if he uses his animus magic to heal Mirrordawn, she will become corrupted and evil, and eventually the magic will rot her away.
To Strangesight's horror and despair, he is forced to let Mirrordawn die.
After the funeral, Strangesight spends a lot of time in the healer's cave, learning all he ever can to save any other dragon before the only options are animus magic or death.
I haven't decided if this happens before or after Mirrordawn's death yet, but at some point, TAO and Runeweaver get in a huge fight, both accusing each other of being a traitor to the school. It ends with TAO killing Runeweaver right in front of Strangesight.
He assures Strangesight that Runeweaver was trying to steal magic for herself, a sure sign of a dark and evil dragon.
Still young, still naive, Strangesight believes TAO, and leaves runeweaver's body, a sickening feeling settling in his heart and stomach.
Years later, Strangesight perfects his magic and becomes TAO's top student and a great doctor.
Eventually he does find out about all of TAO's lies and deceptions, but I think that's best saved for a different post, if this one gets attention :3c

Season 3 Michael is so unhinged. First off the further we get into his job, the worse he gets. He has a few specific things that will set him off and that is: egregious reminders of his past and undue harm to his loved ones. Both at once and he's off to the races.
Knights of the Fast Lane is unhinged because he's just blindly charging in. Doesn't tell KITT his thought process, actively disrupts a police investigation, starts knocking shit together, and sacrifices KITT (again without telling him!!) to try and get an edge on the 'case.' Dude needs some fucking counseling and training for this fake identity shit because he just keeps incinerating his cover.
Zero self-reflection, zero hesitation, and utterly selfish. Everyday he lies to himself.
