honestly when i tried to figure out why some fans are so mad at ivypool these days i was looking through avos and. the scene where ivypool apologises to twigpaw for not supporting sending a patrol for skyclan is genuinely very sweet??

i actually saw someone characterize this as "ivypool forcing twigpaw to forgive her". is it crack you smoke. is that what you smoke. you smoke crack?

#she apologises THREE SEPARATE TIMES #she acknowledges that dovewing and tigerheart's situation made her ignore twigpaw's feelings #she reassures twigpaw that this is the right thing for the clans. she tells her she's proud of her & tc is lucky to have her #you guys do understand that to apologise you have to Do Something Wrong?? or is that the part that's so unforgivable?#i am fASCINATED by the treatment of dove and ivy by the fans in recent years #i'm still pondering it but i think there are a few root causes #1) I think a lot of people read oots as kids and hated dove & identified with ivy because of the underdog storyline #maybe this fandom worship of dovewing is kinda part of that? wanting to feel like you've grown out of fandom misogyny?#but i also feel like 2) tigerdove has really increased dovewing's popularity #and i think because ivypool is so staunchly opposed to their relationship people then have to villainise ivypool #3) is maybe too spicy of a take but to be honest #i think people are subconsciously way more comfortable with a woman whose story ends in heterosexual marriage and childrearing #dovewing's mom role in TBC to shadowsight probably helped her popularity #so ivypool whose relationship w Fernsong & her kits is much less of a focus. and is mUCH less maternal #and who still exhibits Ugly Female Emotions like anger and hurt #and who God Forbid now holds a position of authority...#is too complicated to fit into :) she's such a good mom :) she's such a good mate #dovewing is easier to like because she tends to be a victim of circumstances (🤫 and often lacks agency in her storylines)#since ivypool regularly uses her agency to Fuck Up #fans revert to idealising dovewing because not only is she too good to do bad things. she also doesn't do Things in general #never mind that ivypool is the one who sacrifices and apologises #anyway <3 i think if i made a full analysis of ivy and dove post OOTS i would get too many spicy anons so i will cower in the tags

Been thinking about The Two Live Crew Job again, specifically about Sophie and Eliot with the bomb, and... y'know, it's interesting to me, how Sophie looks to Eliot while they're trying to figure out what to do with the bomb. He's not the expert in the room, not really—that’s Parker and Hardison, truth be told, though Eliot’s got more field experience with explosives, and we see that in how they're the ones providing feedback. Heck, Parker's the one that comes up with the solution with the instant pudding. Nate takes the natural leader position, and he and Sophie are... Nate and Sophie. But it's Eliot that we see Sophie consistently coming back to, who she locks eyes with.

That could be for plenty of reasons. He does seem to have the steadiest control of the situation, likely because he's the best at dealing with high-stakes life-threatening issues (the hitter with extensive military experience is, of course, going to be better under that kind of pressure than the ones who are technically civilians). But I think maybe there's another layer there: he's the one she can trust to be blunt.

See, Eliot's not going to try to soften this. He's a tactful person as a general rule, but he also knows when to be honest. Sophie doesn't want this to be softened. I suspect that's because it introduces a layer of instability; if she only hears optimistic viewpoints, there's an uncertainty in what could go wrong, a fear about what might really happen. But Parker and Hardison and Nate don't necessarily get that—in fact, they themselves won't want to stare down the flat truth, and they may take the optimistic standpoint simply to keep themselves comfortable, even without realizing it.

Conversely, Eliot's not (and never has been) the type to try to look only on the bright side. You don't get to do that in his line of work. He knows how to look at all possible outcomes and take the scene in as-is, and he understands that some people don't want platitudes. Sophie's one of them. She knows, then, that she can trust him to tell her exactly what's happening and what the stakes are, no sugar-coating, no shaky voice, just steady truth.

And she knows, too, that he knows when something is a lost cause—and he understands when to cut his losses. Eliot can be impartial in the moment, no matter how much he beats himself up about it later, and he can weigh the odds and decide, coldly, when to abandon her.

The others can't do that. Parker, even here, even now, two years before The Long Way Down Job, could never choose survival over Sophie in that way. Hardison and Nate? They'd stay, no matter how bad the odds, no matter if it was sure that they wouldn't make it. But Eliot can. More importantly, he's the one who can drag the other three out of there.

He's the one Sophie can depend on to keep them alive. Even if it means she dies alone, even if it means she loses that slim, tiny chance she could live—he'll get them out, and they'll live. She won't let them stay behind, and she even shouts that at them, yells at them to get out, and she knows even as she does so that Nate and Parker and Hardison might not listen. But Eliot will. No matter what, Eliot will, and he'll listen to her and follow her orders.

It's Eliot that she watches, and it's him that she keeps steady with, because he'll be honest with her, and he'll be honest with them, and he'll keep them safe, the same way she "[makes] sure we’re all okay," as Hardison so poignantly puts it.

And do you know what else? In spite of all of it, though, in spite of being the one to be blunt, he still manages to be gentle. He's reassuring, holds her gaze and speaks soft and even and gentle, calming, steady, sure. He's the one who hates explosives, who knows exactly how bad this could be, and he stays steady for her.

This is their second year working together. It's mere months after she apologized for lying to them, point-blank, in The Second David Job. Yet there's still this trust, this holding anchored balance, that they'll keep the crew safe together.

But here's the other thing. It's not just that they trust one another with the rest of the crew. It's that Sophie trusts him to keep her safe, and Eliot trusts her to keep him safe, even if "safe" doesn't mean physically. Because sometimes "safe" isn't about that. Sometimes it's safety in reassurance, even when everything is going to go horribly wrong. Sometimes it's safety in keeping secrets, or listening to each other without judgement.

And sometimes, it's about safety in knowing the truth, no matter how vulnerable and terrible it may be.

#leverage #eliot spencer #sophie devereaux #leverage meta #I have... more thoughts on this #about how Eliot and Parker start teasing Sophie so extensively after #which would--y'know--seem wrong after something like that #but is actually exactly what she needs?#because it's this reassurance of normalcy almost #and of reminding her that she's not fragile and they won't treat her as such #...anyway that's probably another post #just!!! SOPHIE AND ELIOT GUYS #the way they work together to keep the crew safe!#and how they keep EACH OTHER steady and safe!#(and also just... it's hilariously lovely to me how this translates #into the lighter aspect of their friendship #in that they're not afraid to be honest with each other and call each other out #like. everyone needs that One Friend who's going to be totally honest #and yet will also always be there to listen to all the bullshit #and they do that for each other! so! well!#like these are the two who are more than happy to call each other up #(especially post-s5 I'd bet)#and rant about how their partner/s are being dumbasses #and just... idk #something about how that lighter-hearted vulnerability and honesty #translates into knowing that in the darkest moments #they'd rather know the truth than hear any kind of platitude #...gosh. just. these two.#I will never be over these two)#synapse meta

conversations with alhaitham (cw: a little insecure reader/self indulgent)

"haitham, am i not likeable?"

"...why are you asking?"

"you know me, i can't seem to make any friends."

"what are you talking about? you have lots of friends, you practically know all of the akademiya."

"yeah but, they don't last!"

"everything comes to an end, my love."

"but what about us? what if suddenly your feelings change? i can't handle the future. not everything lasts, and i know this! i-i just don't know what i'll do when i lose you too..."

"... we may not know what the future holds. life is ever-changing and nothing is permanent."

"even us?"

"perhaps.

but i don't like that thought either. in the future, there may be a possibility that we will part. be it by our choice, or our untimely death. but here in the present? i would do everything to prevent that future, because i know, with all my heart, that i want to spend the rest of my life with you.

so please, do not fret about the future and focus on me, on the present. because i am certain that i will love you, more than yesterday, and less than tomorrow."

#˚₊໒💉꒱kai talks₊˚#╰┈➤ alhaitham #alhaitham x reader #he's not good at comfort #and he's very realistic #but he's honest #and grounding #he can be reassuring #with facts #though he can shut up for you and just hug you if you ask #i was thinking about alhaitham and it struck me that he'd totally say something like this or smth #genshin x reader #genshin impact x reader

Would it be evil of me to say that I want to replay season 2 so I could, (besides trying Lucas' and Noah's routes all the way) also choose money over love with Gaz, at the finale?

I haven't spoken about why I've been off him publicly yet, but.

⚠️ Gary stans, avert your eyes. ⚠️

When I thought back on grocery day, and what I said on it originally from my Gary/R!Hannah analysis post here;

I took a moment to really think about how awful it would've been for MC to hear that, whether she was a

loyal Gary route MC, or

a slowburn mutual pining MC w/ Gaz, because we all know Gary was crushing hard on MC even off-route.

Like okay. It's one thing to wonder what could've been with someone who left the villa on such early days. It's why I'm partially glad R!Hannah did happen, so he could nip that question in the bud sooner, rather than later.

But for him to say that MC was "lucky" he wasn't talking about someone in the villa? To be that disrespectful, and to borderline threaten MC with the prospect that he could just, jump ship on her no matter what, after everything they could've gone through?

It was a bellend, extra comment, that does no favors for him. And a step too far for me personally, because there's no way I would let anyone talk to me that way, like I was so at their mercy. 🤡

(This bit was also from my original post.)

@lasswithumor said it best in her tags—the way he responds to situations when questioned on them can be overtly icky, and he never truly apologized for ANY of it, just told MC that she had to "trust him." 🙄

#aly sez #marshall is everything i wish gary was #and DOES everything i wish he did. APOLOGIZE. REASSURE. EXPRESS REGRET‚ AND PUBLICLY #multiple times!#anyway. i've been hesitant to say all this because i've got mutuals who like him still‚ which is okay ofc #but‚ idk‚ i've gotta be honest here 😬#litg gary #litg s2 #litg #love island the game

a gift <:]

Recently, a friend of mine was feeling sad so I made this for her and thought I'd share it with you guys as well <3

Just a reminder: You are wanted. You are beautiful. No matter how bad it seems, there will always be somebody willing to fight for you and keep you from drowning in the vast ocean that is despair. You may be wounded, but wounds will heal into scars. And scars will fade. They may not ever fade completely, but a scar is much better than a bleeding, open mess

And no matter how messy it is, there will always be somebody willing to stitch you back together <333

even if it's a stranger on the internet or a drawing of the autism creature xD

got the train today and this lad sitting opposite me had never taken a train in the uk before so he asked me a couple questions and i showed him how to get the app up to track the route better and we wound up just kind of chatting the entire ride because it turned out he's a student in the same city as me and it was a bit awkward not just because we were complete strangers but because we were both struggling with each other's accents (he only moved from india a few months ago and his english wasn't completely fluent yet and i have an accent that is notoriously bad for foreign-speakers because it's v slang heavy and words/letters blend together and NOTHING gets enunciated so we were both going back and forth with it a bit) but we both just repeated/reworded things when necessary and we chatted for the entire hour and then afterwards he offered me his umbrella and to walk me home and i said no both bc i'd just met him and i didn't want him to get the wrong idea but still we both waved and laughed at each other bc of the rain when we went our seperate ways and yeah. it was just v nice

#he lived on a farm back in india and he was showing me pictures of the baby cows it was amazing #and i showed him pictures of the lambs we used to take care of #and yeah it was kind of awkward just bc of how often we were having to repeat ourselves/ask the other to repeat #but it was just nice that we were both like. trying? idk it was just a very honest human interaction #where yeah there were barriers to communication but we still wound up showing each other pics of baby animals lmao #and he was a first year at uni too and he said at one point that he's struggling with it bc it's hard to make friends #and generally it's quite lonely #and i was like OH I KNOW THIS SONG like that was my LIFE in first year #bc regrettably loneliness seems to be the universal first year emotion without added struggles like being alone in a foreign country #so i was just giving him advice and trying to reassure him and shit it was just very sweet #and he gave me a can of coke? LMAO slay #im glad it happened which is saying something bc i LOVE my train journeys i love listening to my music and zoning the fuck out #so when he started talking to me i was initially like can we NOT but the moment i stopped being a hardass and gave up on my music #it was actually really chill #hella goes to uni

#its. super flattering lol #esp because like i mentioned i feel like I'm talking out of my ass. when i know I'm not and that i do make good points.#but hearing i make good points and people liking what i post is the ultimate reassurance i need. so thank you so much man #i gotta be honest i was incredibly scared to actual like. write in depth my thoughts of rdr2 and arthur morgan because #i didnt think im good at analysing things? and looking things in depth? but the reception I've gotten is just. I'm so grateful thank you #strawberry asks #strawberry speaks
