#we know that and that's his decision

[ishouldbedoingalright]

i would type a big ol' paragraph about jane and beard's relationship but I also can't be bothered so tis staying in the ol' noggin

edit: did it anyway lols

#let's just say it's not as crazy as everyone is making it out to be #yes jane is insane #but so is beard #dont get me started on the word toxic #basically yes their relationship is all sorts of unhealthy #but like just cos its on a tv show doesnt mean everything needs to be fine and dandy #yeah they got married #yeah they stayed together #objectively we know that probably isnt healthy #but beard is in love with the woman #he didnt sleep for 3 days #we know that and that's his decision #she loves him in her own weird way too #i understand how relationships can be toxic as much as the next person and sure this is an example #but what you gonna do? #sometimes that happens #sometimes that's just how it goes #my main point is. just cos it's a fictional tv show doesnt mean everything needs to be fine and dandy #beard's happy so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ #and ted not going to the wedding. #Brendan's answer is spot on #you dont have to go to someone's wedding to be their best friend #some people don't see weddings as the huge things that they are #and that's fine #Brendan's answer was a perfect summary of friendships and more specifically ted and beard's friendship #also while im at it #ted going to kansas is also fine #doesn't erase his progress #if you ask me hes made a fuck ton of progress #oh look im out of tags. guess thats all ill be saying on the matter. peace

Seeing Cavill’s departure it’s like. Yeah. This is what happens when you bring the dedicated weeb on set, then fool yourself into thinking he will sit there all obedient like a Good Boi as you mangle canon to fuck and back.

#the witcher #henry cavill #no wonder he’d jump ship in the end #season one was passably changed #then we fucking went off the rails in s2 #i stan his decision #this is the only salt i will allow myself #i’ve been politely shutting my mouth about twn for two years lol #bc i know what us book fans get called #but see #cavill’s one of us mwahahahaha

I know we all clown on Tim Drake for having a moral code that’s just “whatever the opposite of what I think will make me evil gun batman” but have you considered Tim Drake is absolutely the kind of feral bastard to carefully design and create an entire illusion of inevitability just to manipulate his younger self into not becoming a supervillain.

Like do you think Future Tim just set aside some really crazy weekends. Do you think he was the worst drill sergeant ever when making his friends practice their lines and backstories over and over until they locked him in a closet with no electronics

#any continuity errors are actually the result of the future titans forgetting their lines #(they’re terrible at improv) #tim made the executive decision that he couldn’t be trusted and he was right #he thinks he’s so clever and his friends are looking at him like ‘can you please pretend you’re acting like even a little bit’ #‘we know you aren’t actuallly but like for our peace of mind’ #what he doesn’t know is that his friends only go along with it to let him get out his evil supervillain tendencies in a #semi-controlled environment #you know how you take your dog out before you leave so they don’t destroy the house #exactly like that #dc #batman #tim drake #kon el #bart allen #cassie sandsmark #dc comics #titans of tomorrow #teen titans

i keep thinking about the datamined conversation between halsin and minthara and what gets me about it is that if you side with halsin and turn minthara away, thats objectively the bad choice.

like at this point, you've rescued minthara from moonrise. you know now that she was being controlled to act against her will. you've gone to the trouble of rescuing her from her tormentors, and you've experienced what it felt like as they tried to destroy her mind. you know what will happen to her if you turn her away. and if you do, you're willingly condemning her to that fate. you've essentially allowed her to experience freedom, to regain her sense of self, only to tear that away from her again.

whereas if you side with minthara, and halsin leaves, that's the only consequence he experiences. that he's not a companion anymore. at this point, we've saved the grove, we've saved him, and we've lifted the shadow curse. we've helped him achieve what hes been hoping to do for over a century. leaving your party won't see him lose his free will. he can return to the grove and live his life.

the choice is essentially either condemn someone to a fate worse than death, knowing exactly what that entails vs not letting someone travel with you anymore. its pretty clear cut to me.

its just interesting to me that they've switched the morality of it around given that minthara is considered the 'evil' companion by so many.

#baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #bg3 spoilers #minthara #minthara baenre #before anyone comes at me and says that halsin is allowed to have his prejudice and his trauma. im not saying hes not #not sure about someone being allowed to have prejudice but yes thats part of human nature i guess #my point isnt that hes not allowed to react like this #my point is that hes wrong. #sure he can be struggling with his trauma and his prejudice over minthara being a lolth sworn (even if shes not anymore) #BUT. at this point we as a character /know/ theres more to her. we know that hes making an unfair assessment of her #which is even more jarring if you're a drow/lolth sworn drow #and at this point. you've saved the grove youve saved him youve helped him break the curse. he tells you its a debt he cant repay #and that hes so thankful. but he wont trust you or your decision. he won't even attempt to #and u know what thats fine. he doesnt have to. but if you're siding with him you're condemning her. you're killing her #if you side against him. he can go back to his responsibilities as an arch druid rather than leaving it in someone elses hands (which was?) #that is the lesser of the two evils here #yes you can call minthara the 'evil' character because shes a lolth sworn but thats just buying into the prejudice halsin is showing #and its wrong #anyways. my point is good for him if he wants to demand you make a ridiculous choice #but turning her away is the bad choice and tbh i feel like the game wants u to know that #and sure if you want to boil it down to which character u like more than the other and u prefer halsin. ur obvs gonna side with him #but in that case u probably wouldn't even get this conversation #because why would u have bothered to spare / save minthara in the first place?

Crucify Him

"the way the fandom portrays shanks when referring to shuggy is out of character and he has moved on" aha. aha. yeah. have you considered i like shanks to be a wet depressed cat who's pining for his childhood best friend

#'but-' but nothing i like him dramatic and sad #and also it's not that far from canon we don't know shit abt shanks he shows up every 100 episodes i'm sure his seiyuu doesn't even get pai #i get why some people complain but you can make him respect buggy's decision to leave him and be mature and also be a fucking pining idiot #balance is the key #one piece #red haired shanks #buggy the clown #shuggy

i love how after everything that has happened, he STILL somehow thinks people won't turn up to his gigs. what a guy

Here's the thing: he hasn't actually seen everything that's happened. He hasn't had time to take that all in.

Before UMK, some dozens or tens of people came to his shows and he has made fun of it, saying that his gigs never have a back row because there are so few people attending. He even organized a joke contest in his IG stories, and the winning one was along the lines "I don't like crowds, that's why I only go to Käärijä's gigs". Then after UMK his gigs were suddenly sold out, but most of them were still on small venues and nightclubs that could fit maybe a few hundred people. He got big hype before UMK and even bigger after winning that of course, but he really didn't have time to react to anything as he was doing as many shows as possible and doing hundreds of interviews and podcasts and challenge videos and what have you, and practicing singing and dancing and performing before leaving to Liverpool.

Then he was in Liverpool for two weeks without almost any time off, again every day filled with interviews and promotion videos and parties and rehearsals, and the hours he had off he didn't spend on social media but with Joker Out and other contestants, just to relieve the stress and pressure. So he wasn't in Finland, and he wasn't on social media that much, so he didn't see the actual craze that took over this country. Kids dressing in green and practicing Cha Cha Cha on music classes, stores running out of piña colada and Malibu and pineapple juice and everything green including grapes, all landmarks and statues in every city either dressed up in green boleros or lighted up with green lights, people dying their hair green and getting bowlcuts, people getting Käärijä tattoos, people sewing so many green boleros and other outfits that the biggest fabric store chain ran out of all green fabrics, people with green make-up and nails, the fan art everyone was making, even the government offices and political parties changing their logos Käärijä green on Instagram and Facebook, the support messages and posts, literally every store from clothing chains to grocery stores and art supply stores putting their neon green and pink stuff on display in the window - hell, even my local pet store had their neon green fluffy cat toys on the prime spot!

He said in an interview that he heard rumours of all that happened, but of course he hasn't seen it. He said that he has around 100.000 notifications unread and he won't have time until maybe autumn to start checking out what has actually happened this year.

When you think about it from his point of view, six months ago he was a broke-ass musician with a day job, living in a tiny apartment. Some dozens of people used to come to his shows, and then suddenly after Cha Cha Cha he was selling out venues, small ones, but still. Then he left for Eurovision with the single goal of winning, and he didn't achieve that, so he thought himself as a loser, that he had disappointed everyone who supported him. From his point of view he is still the same broke-ass musician living in a tiny flat, but now he's unemployed and Eurovision loser so even more of a failure. So why are there thousands of people suddenly coming to the shows and wanting to see him? Of course it would be baffling to him. He wasn't there when he became a national hero, and he doesn't yet understand that he is no longer a failed musician, he is an international phenomenon.

#I really hope his head can take all this #but he said that he is already planning to start therapy to deal with everything which is a great decision #I know UMK has their own therapist but this is so ridiculously huge #I said a couple of years ago that there hasn't been a craze like Blind Channel since Dingo fever in the 80's #but this is bigger than that #everyone knows who Käärijä is even if they are not on social media or didn't watch esc #this reminds me of how people acted when Lordi won #but we didn't have social media with billions of likes and shares and edits and dms and what have you #asks #käärijä

people dont talk enough about how heartbreaking the marlon betrayal mustve been for clem too,,

this dude saves the life of her and her kid. takes them in has them patched up gives them their first hot meal in who knows how long. gives them a safe place to stay. possibly permanently. confides in her that hes trying to be a good leader but feels like and fears that hes failing. asks her to help him take care of the rest of the group. helps her get over her fear of dogs by asking her to trust him. and things go well. she feels safe. like this place could really finally be the home shes been looking for

but as soon as she finds out what happened to the twins. that marlon planned on giving up her and aj too. she immediately becomes a liability to him and he attempts to kill her for it. locks her in the basement to die by walker. then tries to turn the group against her so he can shoot her instead when the first method fails. and he nearly succeeds

then a majority of the group turn against clem the minute aj kills marlon. ignoring marlons mistakes but condemning aj for his. like clem wasnt betrayed by marlon in the exact same way he betrayed the twins. like she literally wasnt almost killed twice? and how long had he been considering giving her up? was it always some contingency he planned? did he truly want to keep them around and things only changed when he feared the raiders had returned? she'll never know

#i think about this a lot... the betrayal... clems deep trust issues... then they all want to kick her out (except vi aasim and tenn 💕) #when she was just as impacted if not more so than the rest of them. since she was the only one with her Life on the line #thats why violet fighting so hard for them to stay is so important imo and would MEAN SO MUCH to clem too #vi and aasim are the only ones who can see past the bullshit and realize that theyre safer with clem around #while the rest would rather kick her out so they dont have to acknowledge their confused feelings about marlon #like first marlon betrays her then the rest of the group tell her to get fucked and die. dont come back. we never want to see you again #but she does. and she saves them #personally i do think marlon had 'good' intentions but he was a scared and fucked up kid who made bad decisions #and continued to make bad decisions to cover for his previous fuck ups #but that just makes him interesting :) #and i like teaching aj the difference between people like marlon and people like lilly #all of clems 'wow i feel so safe here :) and these guys seem smart :)' personal dialogue around ericsons makes me 😭 #she was so happy to be at ericsons. and they turn against her so fast when she was more of a victim than any of them #aj is a literal baby. do not treat him like an adult who can make fully rationalized decisions. hes a baby and he only knows survival #at least they slowly get over it after clem comes back (some take longer than others...) #but the lack of compassion in voting to kick them out is heartbreaking. she was heartbroken #and thats not acknowledged as much as it should be #posting this old drafted post now cuz it expands my feelings on clems broken heartedness about the marlon situation #it speaks #twdg

This has been marinating in my brain for a while, but it was honestly so crazy from quantum leap to spoil you the ending by episode TWO (three if you dont count the pilot as a single ep). They establish right at the beginning 2 most important aspects of Sam's personality and that is 1) Sam will ALWAYS go out of his way to help people and 2) He cares about his loved ones so much he will do that without thinking of the CONSEQUENCES. He fucked up his own timeline completely during his 3rd leap by helping his ex fiancée and their whole relationship got erased from existence. We don't know how that could have possibly changed his life had he come back home. Definitely A LOT. But he had to help her. Out of his free will. Just because he could. And just because he loved her so much. That's why later in 5x22, when he gets told he can do whatever he wants he...

#thats why mirror image is presented as a sabbatical. he has one opportunity to do whatever he wants and he still chooses to save al #he simply cannot pass on the opportunity to make everyones lives better no matter what #i know his decisions were ultimately selfish in ep 2 bc he thought he could have gotten married her himself BUT does that change anything? #we know that no matter what he changes he is still 'locked' in a paradox as long as he stays there. and he will never leave. #and he will never stop leaping. #because there will always be more people to save #get edited. draft #forgot her name im sorry terri hatcher #quantum leap #queap #al calavicci #sam beckett #sam x al #idk #this show gave me too many brainworms #storytelling. #literally gods most special boy am i right

everytime i think abt house of the lucky gander i start shaking violently pacing back and forth exploding into 50000000 pieces. oooooogh i dont think they know how hard they were cooking. being vague and hiding his problems... aware of being watched.... the obvious shared annoyance at him between scrooge and donald... how he was showing off his luck as an attempt to make the other family members happy and comfortable but not realizing how they truly feel... how he slowly gets frustrated at his own luck and snaps at louie and a few minutes later everything's back to Normal. how he just accepts that the race is happening and there's "nothing" he can do about it......

the least fake thing about him being how much he cares about his family should have remained a core character trait bc it shows how his luck affects how he acts in a more interesting way than him NOT FUKCING REMEMBERING PEOPLS NAMES

#HE WOULD REMEMBER HE WOULDDDDDD #gladstone gander #gladstone is like if a man and a woman had a baby (has everything working for him naturally but becomes a damsel in distress so easily) #you could make him a good luck charm or take away his luck and he just folds #<- WHICH MAKES HIS FRUSTRATION AT HIS PLAN NOT WORKING #AND HIS ACCEPTANCE OF THE NEW SITUATION SOOOOOO GOOOD #i can spice him up i can cook him better. #sorry for being a stereotypical gladstone fan for insisting his has depth 24 BUT no one knows him like i do . #whats heartbreaking is that most of the decisions made in hotlg [EDIT: I MEANT PHANTOM AND THE SORCERESS MY BAD. SORRY] was probably more #'how do we make gladstone the must punchable character' #rather than 'how do we make him an interesting character?' #which is like. FAIR. but. </3333333333333 ouuuuuuuuuuuuughhhh

#i do think cutting it was a good decision bc questioning what fitz's feelings towards penny truly were >>> #and not initially knowing which p.p. the trowel and card were referencing adds to the interpersonal drama going on in the story #but damn he just.... really loved her a lot huh.... #personally i do think penny also had some feelings for fitz but they definitely weren't as deep as his feelings for her #i think some resentment towards him refusing to untether himself from tangle tower had grown in her and her feelings faded bc of that #i also think some of her anger towards poppy is genuine but it moreso comes from yet another thing being stolen from her >>> #rather than WHAT is being stolen ya know what i mean? #i was just looking at the location concept art to get more ideas for vic's room #i did not expect to get smacked with this info and go on another thought tangent but here we are #detective grimoire #tangle tower #fitz fellow #penny pointer #mj.txt #tangle tower spoilers

Honestly think what’s devastating about Ken snapping at Tom for the ‘you sound a little unhinged’ line was that I never would’ve expected that reaction cause that wasn’t even the worst thing Tom’s said to shiv, even just that day. You kinda forget it’s all happening behind closed doors cause we, the audience, see it all, so for Ken to lose his shit at him over it is just like … a reality check ig

#two things: #a) do we think this is in the script or improvised. cause the ‘don’t fucking touch him was improvised’… but also we know the writers adapt #to the actors so I can see them writing that bc of that scene #anyway. and b) I know Ken would kill Tom’s ass if he head half the things from that 4x7 or 4x8 convo. anyone who disagrees suck my conk. idc #cause if there’s one thing we know it’s that he will defend his siblings from day one to forever whether they fight or make terrible #decisions with world shattering consequences #doesn’t make any of his other actions less awful but I’m just saying that’s integral to who he is as a character and you either get it or #you simply don’t understand #succession spoilers #succession #kendall roy #shiv Roy
