once again screaming crying throwing up about the fact that infinity train was prematurely cancelled despite being contracted for 5 seasons.

#infinity train #like i really really want all 8 seasons. & i really really want present day!amelia and all that would come with that (e.g. hazel and grace) #but i feel like i would be so much more content with the show's cancellation if we had the bow on top of it all that was the amelia season #because she was the villain from s1 #the fallout of her villanry births the antagonists from s2. #she appears again in s3 having moved on slightly and changed her outlook. thereby creating a somewhat optimistic outlook on the end point of #her story #and s4 shows (in parts) her descent into villany. #she's been the main reocurring presence in the whole show and her train motivation (unbearable grief) and villain arc are the most #complex the show would've handled #i truly believe that if they had been allowed to make it it would have served as a perfect ending to the show #because she's been built up for so long and because the writers would've had so much material to work with AND detail to pay attention to #it wouldve been spectacular.... and everything they wanted to explore in later seasons wouldve been so good too #(older tulip and revenge and acceptance of something as complicated as alzheimer's disease) #(and i also think it wouldve been neat for them to show us a glimpse of 40 y/o rymin cuz those boys have major issues still when they get #off the train #and so id like a snapshot of them in the future that shows they worked things out) #yeah. justice 4 infinity train justice 4 amelia hughes. i want to fuck that 60y/o deeply evil woman so badly and i need her back in my life

something i noticed unfortunately:

[script from darksvster]

alicent is mid-late thirties, which obvious discourse means her mom was also probably a childbride when she had her (+ her having an older brother in gwayne helps to reaffirm this).

this was the case for rhaenyra in fire and blood; aemma was *fifteen* when she had rhaenyra and *twenty-three* when she died birthing baelon. rhaenyra was a mother THREE times over (with baby egg on the way) by the time she reached the age her mother ultimately met her fate at.

how am i supposed to mentally cope with this information?

#fire and blood #house of the dragon #rhaenyra targaryen #aemma arryn #granted we don’t know who alicent’s mom is so this could still be the case in the book #but it is quite weird in comparison to 8 year old nyra and her relationship w her mother #with all of the age changes made #now aemma dies as a woman in her early 40s #rather than having the audience recognize #how awful her life and subsequent death truly are #due to her youth 😔 #especially given that her mom (daella) also dies tragically young #from the same ailment (childbirth) #when i catch you grrm

Y'all do know you can't make Jason be NOT white without changing his whole character, right?

For other characters, yes, because their physical appearance are not that influential in their story, on how they are viewed by people, on their personality formation — you can have a black/asian/indigenous/arab/brown/latino/etc Nico and yes, the hate he gets will have a undertone of racism but at the same time nothing significant on his story, motivation or personality will need to change. This is also true for other characters: Clarisse risks repeating the "aggressive WoC" stereotype but the character itself doesn't change.

This isn't true for Jason, whose main character trait is how he is perceived by others and how he showcases himself to others based on that perception. (specially with how little effort Riordan put on him besides making him perfect-er Percy who's somehow also weaker and less important than him).

Let's not pretend a black, Arab, indigenous, Asian, Latin man, etc, in the USA would ever be treated with the universal reverence Jason gets from New Roma, you can't have the illusion of perfection and most of all, of invincibility they have about him when you see him suffering racism or xenophobia in the middle of a mission. Nothing in his life has ever gone wrong, that's his image, destined to be king, he is supposed to have no weakness on his peers eyes.

He is not trying to prove people wrong, he is trying to prove them right; he isn't worthy despite their prejudice, on the contrary, he only tried to make himself worthy to fulfill their expectations. He can't be a woman or an immigrant or have a visible disability or any other thing that strays him from a perfect ideal by western society standards, and be that same character.

#Different from the other white character in the series he was never questioned or doubted #There's a presumption of perfection with no exceptions that society doesn't give to us (women poc immigrants visible minorities in general) #His privilege (handsome white man with no visible disability son of Zeus etc) also prevented anyone from worrying for his well being #This illusion/expectation of him having no weakness/being untouchable pushes himself too far and clouds his judgment. #I headcanon he didn't even consider the possibility of myopia because that wouldn't fit Jason Grace Son of Jupiter so it wasn't an option #And you think it'd be the same character after facing racism? Because ain't no way he'd be praetor without going through racism #I think I'd love him nonetheless since I'm very weak to the whole golden boy tearing himself to save the world but it'd be a new character #jason grace #I know racism in USA is different from here but I know how different a “non-racist” white person treats me and treats my white friends #Also for him to not be an entirely different character if PoC would be incredibly disrespectful and racist on its own #It would fail to recognize the difference in how we are read (and written). I hate that a lot. #I remember that when Cody told Brandi “I see no color” she told him “then you don't see me” and that's so fucking striking #We ARE different. treated differently. if you act like you don't see it then you also turn a blind eye to the violence that comes from it #This is straying from my point I got a bit heated banalization of things I care about usually does that to me #Point is please don't change Jason on the very few things that man actually bothered writing about him #I actually think this is true about Octavian too. A lot of what he is allowed to do would not be possible if he weren't a white man. #Same for Rachel Elizabeth Dare. I mean you can work around making her poc but it will truly be pushing A LOT #Let's put it this way: a woc doing a street performance is perceived very differently from a white woman doing a street performance. #Specially in the eyes of cops #Pjo

Tuvok lying on the floor, dying of fever, saying stuff like “T’Pel’s shampoo is tea scented and though the exact tea is unspecified I believe it most closely resembles Ghran-tek...” while Tom begs him to please please just tell him what she looks like so he can make the gd hologram.

#Tuvok then proceeds to go into too much detail about what she looks like and get annoyed if Tom doesn't capture her likeness /perfectly/. #'Her eyelashes are too long.' #'Aren't long eyelashes g-' #'T'Pel's eyelashes are not that long. This isn't my wife. I would never be with another woman - change them.' #Tuvok said he'd rather die than be with anyone but his wife and he truly meant it #That's incredibly sweet and loyal of him but also it's funny as hell #I can 1000% picture Tuvok saying the most lovesick wifeguy stuff ever but then when anyone calls him on it he's like: #Hm??? No I don't feel any emotion when I say those things. My 'love' for T'Pel is more of a fact of the universe - no different from #the terran sky being blue or dropped objects falling downward. #and whoever asked is like hmmmmy ea h oh I see. okay. cool.

I pray to become softer, more delightful, more kind, more soft-spoken.

I pray that my mental health won't affect me as much as it does now.

#i truly am not the best christian catholic dream woman at the moment and i'm getting married this year so i hope i will better myself #i did change a lot since i met Michael but still my emotions sometimes control me instead of me controlling them #my mental health hinders me in my education too and it sucks i feel sick just thinking about it #i want to be joyful instead of crying almost everyday #Lord please help me

the percy jackson show is everything i dreamt of, and more.

they really did the books justice. they didn't miss a single iconic moment so far. the characters are perfectly written, and the actors are amazing. i knew from the beginning that walker scobell was The perfect cast for percy, and turns out the whole cast is like that! it looks like they pulled the characters right from the book, made them magically real.

but i also love all the new things and twists they added. the story is so slightly different that someone with a vague knowledge of the story wouldn't notice but someone who's read the books multiple times would see, but wouldn't be bothered by it.

it's exactly the story i fell in love with over a decade ago, and never stopped loving. but from a slightly different angle. those changes are slight enough that's it's still That Story, but big enough that it feels like i'm falling in love with the story again. and it feels magical.

#it also look like they changed the wrong things about the book #i screamed when i saw the camper in a wheelchair #and i've seen someone say they changed medusa's story a little bit #but it also shows in the way sally talks about medusa in the flashback #the only bad thing i have to say is that im EXTREMELY frustrated that i dont have the names of all the campers they show #i want to know who's the woman with grover #i want to know who's the kid hanging out with luke and percy #pleaaaaaaaaase tell me #god i could talk about it for hours #the pjo books are the best thing that happened to me. truly. and getting to experience some of that magic again is the best feeling ever #percy jackson #percy jackson show #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #pjo show

It’ll probably (no it will) change again within the next couple of hours. But with how it’s going the 50/50 is leaning more towards forgiven, because as of 8:30 AM (as of posting this) he’s inching close to a 52% forgiven.

#milgram #milgram project #kazui mukuhara #kazui milgram #I promise I’ll stop posting about Kazui for now #I just find it so interesting it took 6 trials to get another 50/50 #or at least something close to a 50/50 #it’s hard cause he toyed and played with a woman’s heart when she truly loved him #once Amane’s comes out I’m sure his votes will change again similar to Fuuta

Really loving how the show is exploring the beginning of Kate and Lucy's relationship and all the insecurities that still lurk in the shadows of honeymoon bliss. There's a lot to love in 2x02:

Kate blurting out, “I want to tell my boss we’re dating,” and Lucy being completely thrown off. It’s Kate’s version of “I want to be intimate,” and Lucy pointing at the coffee shop and going, “Here???”

Lucy being a supportive, stabilizing force for Kate only for us to find out she's equally as freaked out and worried later in her own time (says it to Jesse and then, as pointed out very nicely here, she punches her girlfriend's boss's arm then tries to recover by nervously complimenting his corny apron).

"No, no it's not fine, Lucy... You make it look so easy," is giving "You're always doing nice things for me... I just wanted to show my appreciation." (Both of them feeling like they're not doing enough/doing it as well as the other and trying to do something big to make sure they're reciprocating properly, resulting in them making "mistakes" they feel the need to apologize for.)

2x02 is likely an intentional callback/parallel to 1x07 to show how far they've come:

Kate hesitantly whispering in a dark corner about being compartmented  after Lucy invited her out in front of people vs. Kate, in public, outright saying she wants to introduce Lucy to her boss and coworkers and inviting her to the barbeque (and wanting Lucy's input)

Lucy being all hush-hush with Ernie in the empty hallway vs. Lucy rambling loudly to Jesse about her girlfriend possibly losing her position because of conflict of interest concerns while walking down that same hallway (and then the bullpen) now full of coworkers

Kate not wanting anyone at work, especially Lucy’s team, to find out about them (”Ernie’s not people”) vs. Kate jumping at the chance to ask Jesse for advice despite him giving her an out (in general, Jesse, who labelled Kate 'the Mean Girl™️' in the pilot, now watching her lament over her own incompetence because of a silly misunderstanding all while making silly faces and asking him how to not piss off his teammate/little sister/friend)

"You make it look so easy." "We don't have to do this today." "No, no, I want to, it's just—it's a lot for me,"

is a less combative version of,

"I'm trying to do this your way, you know, be all expressive and smiley, it's just—it's hard for me to be-" "Human?" "I'm trying here, Lucy."

They're both self-deprecating scenes for Kate. She admits she's embarrassed by herself in 1x07 and we see it in 2x02 after she confesses that this is the first time she's ever introduced a girlfriend to her coworkers. In 1x07, it's like Kate's begging Lucy to see her and understand her. In 2x02, it feels more like deep shame (especially when she looks down at "It's a lot for me") over disappointing and failing Lucy again after saying she’d do things differently this time. Lucy, who’s the most amazing woman she’s ever met, who’s crazy about her, who’s still trying to reassure her when Kate can’t even do something as simple as correct her boss when he assumes she’s dating a guy. 

A big difference is that in one, Kate knows she hurt Lucy and is delivering a necessary apology after a disagreement and in the other, Kate thinks she’s hurt Lucy, even though Lucy's tells her it's fine. Kate still insists that it's not, is quick to say “it’s my fault”, and is stressing out big time over a small mistake. It also feels like the difference between the two Kacy scenes is this feeling of Kate “has to” vs. Kate “wants to”. S1 Kate is sharing because she messed up and is trying to cling onto the potential this relationship has and S2 Kate already knows the pain of losing Lucy to her own bad choices and wants to be better (1x07 ends with Kate in that state because she was prompted, but in 2x02 she starts the episode already having decided on her own that she wants to involve Lucy).

In 1x07, Lucy’s hurt and upset, so even when Kate’s being vulnerable (after Lucy offered up some vulnerability first) and turning her assumptions on their head, she lashes out. Ernie’s advice earlier in the episode is light-hearted ribbing, but also coated in the fact that maybe Lucy was wrong to make assumptions from her own insecurities. She can’t be sympathetic towards Kate just yet. Eventually, she recognizes the effort Kate’s putting in and agrees to terms that’ll make her the most comfortable. Kate’s asking for a lot of things in this scene: forgiveness, understanding, another chance, time. 

In 2x02, Lucy can clearly see Kate's distress and realizes the big leap Kate's trying to make for her, for them. Sees the workplace stakes 1x07 Kate might have been worried about and spirals a little too before Jesse course-corrects her. When Kate admits how new this type of milestone is for her, despite it being something Lucy's wanted since s1, she prioritizes Kate's comfort and says they don't have to do this today. It's only when Kate makes it absolutely clear that this is something she wants to do, something they both want, that Lucy switches the type of support she offers.

Kate puts herself out there, lets herself be vulnerable, and Lucy meets her halfway: in 1x07 when she agrees to being a secret and in 2x02 when she's supporting Kate's decision to be transparent and open about them.

The first is a compromise in the dark, in the closed-door break room tucked in the corner of the office, after their coworkers have gone home. Lucy flirts and teases, but she walks away, leaving Kate to chase after her. It obviously means a lot to both of them, but they don't say that out loud, instead choosing to be all coy about it and deflecting. They probably spend the night together, Kate showing her appreciation in the comfort of her own home.

The second is a reminder and a promise that Kate isn't alone anymore because they're in a serious, committed relationship. Lucy reaches out, leaves no room for doubt as she links their hands together, and tells Kate earnestly that she's right there by her side, that she's here to stay no matter what. In the light of day, out in the open, on their way to meet Kate's coworkers. Then, she walks with her into the bbq, stands by her the whole time, and uses that Lucy Tara charm on everyone. And Kate repays all that by being brave, by being openly sweet, loving, and affectionate with Lucy in front of everyone.

If your favorite RWBY ships got married. Who would take the others last name and who would simply have both last names?

I admit to only really actively shipping bees and renora, and I have a hard time imagining either couple taking the other's last name (so both keeping their own last names).

Nuts n Dolts is cute too and Polendina-Rose or Rose-Polendina both sound good to me tbh.

I think more than anything I am curious if there is any trend for taking last names, if there is one at all. Cause of the married couples I can think of off the top of my head, we do get a little bit of everything. Raven and Tai kept their names, Weiss said Jacques married into the name and family and we don't know about the Belladonnas. Then there's Terra and Saphron with hyphenated last names.

#ccyy answers #I am sorry I'm not very fun #but I also do think it's interesting world building #that marriage does truly seem to be more of a negotiation and feels more equal #and I do love over analyzing writing/world building when it comes to what was or wasn't included #like yeah jacques took the name for his own benefit but lemme tell you irl everyone assumes if you changed your last name you're a woman
