Fuck Israel and fuck everyone who still wants to pretend this is confusing or complicated. Is it really that hard to point out the "bad people" in a scenario where a multi-billion military apparatus is handcuffing and killing children and medical staff inside a fucking hospital?

[captainofmyworld]

More on letters, color theory, and magic fuckin candles later. For now, I’m just here.

My god Debbie such a great character and mom

Despite danger and her arm being broken she’s in mama bear mode. Oliver isn’t even her biological child yet that’s her main priority making sure he’s safe. Even worrying about Mark too. I’m glad plot armor is protecting her cause I lose it if she died

AU where Cecil decides that Debbie isn't going to take an Actual Nanny from him so he decides to send her Rex while he heals.

Debbie: did Cecil seriously send you? Like this?

Rex, missing a hand and still very much healing from a gunshot wound: hey it's not my fault Cecil's a fucking idiot

Debbie: ....what did you say about Cecil?

Rex: he's a fucking idiot?

Debbie:....Come on in.

makes me insane in that head that as nolan becomes more human mark is losing more and more of his human connections. it's not a normal show they put something in it

[captainofmyworld]

i dunno the fact that mark had his whole friend group to talk to after the s1 finale and now he's down to just eve is uniquely unsettling to me

[captainofmyworld]

oh we're just outright referencing Spider-Verse, okay

[captainofmyworld]

he was 18! HE SHOULD’VE BEEN AT THE CLUB!

[captainofmyworld]

Aint no way this man sent him to Fortnite.

Angstrom really was tryna’ torture this man to death.

[captainofmyworld]

realizing that with Invincible, given its preoccupation with the possibility of rehabilitation for superpowered and genocidal alien villains through the power of love, it can be concluded that it is basically just Steven Universe with swears and for boys

[captainofmyworld]

I just finished invincible s2, it was so good…

I can’t explain what blue eye samurai makes me feel…….its a typical revenge story, a man sets out on his hero’s journey to kill the four men who have wronged him. A lone ronin, wide brimmed hat and sword in hand, roaming Edo Japan on his vendetta. But he’s not a man. He’s a woman. And how has he been wronged? What’s she getting revenge on?

On the fact that she exists. She wants revenge on the four white men that could possibly have conceived her. Who got her Japanese mother pregnant with a blue-eyed child. And not just any blue-eyed child, but a girl child. How is she possibly supposed to live in the world like that? For the wrong of being conceived, for the wrong of being born, for the wrong of being birthed into a world that will never love or accept her, she will kill her father.

I don’t know what level of convoluted self hate that is. Is she a child of rape? Or a child of a whore? Halfway through I realise what she told herself at the start couldn’t possibly be true - it’s not really for her mother. Her mother wasn’t the root of her vendetta, she wasn’t really doing it for her. When she leaves that farm and leaves the chance to live a simple, legitimate life as a woman, she goes right back to hunting down the men. Those men personally wronged her.

And then there’s so much to be discussed surrounding the way she grew up, because as a boy child and a man she can afford so much more than life has dealt her. Her swordfather who took her in out of the love and care in his heart had no shame in teaching a mixed man his art. The face of a ‘demon’ is fine. But not the identity of a woman. Shh. Don’t say it. Don’t confess. He knows and doesn’t want to hear it.

And because she’s lived that way her entire life for safety and security, she’s so completely alienated from being a woman, perhaps she really is he. But not really by choice. Or is it? The thing she does best is the art of killing, the art of men. Gender is a prison and gender is a performance and she has to choose which to perform. The times cannot reconcile hatred and violence with a woman. So she lives as a man.

So she can get revenge on her father, for revenge on herself.

Every single time I look back at my failures, the steps I've taken that have led me down a less-than-ideal path... the mistakes I've made that weigh heavily on my mind, I remember one thing that eases my guilt. That any low I have fallen to or may fall to, I know I will never fumble the bag as hard as this jackass:

Actual fucking dumbass. This douche had Mizu herself giving up her path of revenge to settle down and rear horses with him. She loved him, actually fucking loved him and gave herself wholeheartedly, and he gets scared 'cuz his badass bride wiped the floor with him in a spar.

Remember folks, you can fail as many times in this godforsaken life we have, but you will never be as big of a failure as this dick.

[captainofmyworld]

I need you all to understand how insane it is that Mizu literally almost dying and being overpowered by hundreds of men is placed adjacent to when she let herself be intimate with the man who would eventually betray her. The way those scenes were cut was intentional in the way that yeah, Mizu was just reminiscing of her old life in how she became the ‘monster’ she thinks she is, but it’s also how it implies that IT FELT THE SAME TO HER. Being vulnerable has ALWAYS led to life or death ultimatums, so much so that now she associates them all together. Revenge or love, what’s the difference? Are they not the same? She doesn’t have the luxury of allowing herself that intimacy, because the love has always been tainted by betrayal and that betrayal has always led to bloodshed; her or them.
