#||listen I KNOW ME AND RA||

hey you guys know that even if the people inside that submersible are rich billionaires, dying in that metal tube at the bottom of the ocean is a horrific way to die right. like. yeah stupid choices were made by the people in there signing off on a waiver that says the sub is not approved by anyone and they could die. but it’s the fault of OceanGate for knowingly putting people into a Home Depot DIY sub rigged up with an Xbox controller all to make a profit on people’s curiosity.

#ra speaks #personal #oceangate #missing sub #be normal on this post or I’m going to be disappointed in you and hope you grow as person #listen I’m not touching the ‘site of a horrific maritime disaster being used as a tourist locale’ with a ten foot pole #but like the people in that sub are currently going through something incredibly traumatic and will be lucky to survive #and I know we all love to laugh at dumb rich people suffering the consequences of their hubris #but jfc maybe I’m insane but like on a human level can you respect the horror of what is happening to real living ppl for a goddamn minute #there’s also a good chance these folk aren’t millionaires #they’re probably upper middle class folk splurging for the start of summer vacation #‘oh but I bet they’re still rich assholes-‘ THERES PEOPLE IN THERE. THEY MIGHT DIE. WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO GRASP AS A TERRIBLE THING??? #me. low empathy: wow this is horrible. I quite literally can’t imagine how the people down there feel but I’m sure it’s incredibly traumatic #dumbasses making memes: haha dumb rich kid and his dad are gonna suffocate in a metal tube lol

What? No. I'm not crying over the fact that Mario cupped Luigi's face and then pressed his forehead to Luigi's when they reunited. I'm not. Doing that. I'm

#did i or did i not say that--based on the trailer--luigi had major baby brother vibes? #wowow i was so fuckin right i'm so proud of myself #platonic bonds/sibling bonds are my fav and i did not expect this movie to really buckle down on that aspect but it did and 🥺 #see dc should do an animated movie like this with dick and tim #literally just focus on their bond as brothers and have them try to make it back to each other #like the resurrection of ra's al ghul arc or whatever #i would buy so many copies of that #dc listen to me. i know this will sell. i know it in my bonesss. listen to meeee

Ok this is my apology to anyone who followed me June through November for TRA content, I may or may not have a new hyperfixation and so I’m probably just going to be focusing on that and losing my mind there. I still love TRA but you have to understand the absolute chokehold that Grian Minecraft and Hermitcraft have on me

#I am so sorry #listen I love silly white men #why am I always hyperfixated on white men???? #first Harry Potter and Percy Jackson and then the dsmp (I know. I know) and TRA and Voltron and now this #ok anyway #this is my sincere apology #again I am so sorry #I’ll still be hovering in the shadows of the ra fandom don’t worry #you’ll see me repost once in a blue moon and realize I’m alive #alright now that that’s settled GRIAN HERMITCTAFT

Friend on the bird app did this art of Starfleet's highest decorated himbos which I think deserves a repost on here.

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

having thoughts about like. how the flashbacks we see of setrákus, pittacus, and celwe are ambiguous enough--the tiny slices we get of their dynamic, and all of the missing context in between--that pittacus' nastiness toward setrákus might be in response to setrákus being abusive toward him while they were growing up. and setrákus' nastiness toward him might be in response to pittacus being abusive toward him while they were growing up. or maybe they were just shitty to each other and in general, with celwe and Everyone Else getting caught in the crossfire.

the authors probably intended for it to be the first option, to the extent they were thinking about it in those terms at all: pittacus grew up with a friend who's been shitty to downright abusive toward him, and by their big confrontation he's had enough time away from him to unpack how fucked up his behavior was, and understand his tactics in order to call them out. you could interpret it that way, and were probably meant to, and it would make sense.

but... that assumption is kind of the problem, to me. because the other very much valid way to interpret what we see is a certain kind of abuse that's bad enough by itself, but is primarily aimed at neurodivergent and otherwise marginalized people in particular. (and setrákus is autistic as fuck.) and it's abuse that widely goes unseen and ignored, and is most often perpetuated by people who know they can afford to do it, or think they can.

might have to come back to it in more detail in a reblog, honestly, because it's a lot to talk about; but essentially it comes down to silencing someone by either openly dismissing what they say as nonsense that no one can understand but them, and isn't important enough to try, or disguising it behind a bad faith ''attempt'' to understand so they can say they tried and there's no point. it's a lifelong trauma which has shaped enormous parts of my personality and how i communicate, i can spot it a mile away, and i see all the hallmarks of it in their relationship and how setrákus is affected by it.

and that bothers me. it bothers me a lot that we're supposed to see one and not the other. it bothers me that it's not even 'pittacus' behavior is genuinely shit, but it's somewhat more understandable in the version of events where the context is that he was abused'; he's framed as the hero of the situation either way, who's acting out of pure kindness and reason and good intent. it bothers me that the person who is easy to interpret as having been abused this way would, even then, still be depicted as the Abusive Hate Sink Incarnation of Evil. (because he is abusive, and he is very much an evil son of a bitch. regardless of who was worse in his relationship with pittacus, that's true.) and it bothers me that that framing makes it harder to explore how the cycle of abuse manifests in this scenario, because it absolutely is a thing that happens and is worth telling stories about.

just, i don't know. thoughts. hm.

#lorien legacies #pittacus lore #setrákus ra #LL tag #LL crit tag #the crit files #abuse cw #abuse apologia cw #ableism cw #fuck off pittacus #i think the thing that seals it for me the most is that pittacus tried to Talk Some Sense into Him(tm) for like two minutes #and then when he threw his hands up and went 'whatever' he expected that to be the end of it #not 'okay dude listen whether you agree with me or not i can't let this continue and if you fight me on it things are going to escalate' #he just immediately assumes that *the disagreement* and whether it has any bearing here will be over the moment he calls it quits #all he has to do is plug his ears when he's done being indulgent and things will go right back to the arrangement that suits him #setrákus and whatever goals and opinions and feelings he had might as well not exist anymore #he'll go home to his wife (who he's been abusing; and who pittacus outed to him as having leaked the info that led to this outcome 🙃) #and forget about all of this. as far as pittacus is concerned setrákus has no actual choice; stupid or otherwise; but for it to Go Away. #and he is C O M P L E T E L Y blindsided when 'i decided it's not worth the slight effort to communicate anymore' isn't the end of it #like. i know people like this. i know this pattern. #and that combined with the fact that before he ~grows up and matures into a kind loving understanding leader~ #what we see of him as a kid is the really blatant mask-off flavor of insults; dismissal; talking-over; and accusations of overthinking it #it reads to me that that's never changed; he just figured out how to hide it behind a bad faith veneer of 'well i tried uwu' #anyway. do not like this man do not like this framing setrákus is a nasty piece of shit but also unfortunately in some ways very relatable #caveat also that 'i'm not debating this anymore either shut up and leave it or things will escalate' can be and often is abusive lmfao #generally speaking the pattern is that if it's going to be your problem and not theirs if they don't understand and communicate with you #people like this will stop bothering to pretend your opinion or what you have to say matters the moment their 5m (tops) of patience runs ou #pittacus just really tips his hand here because he is *so* certain that him deciding he's done trying to understand #means setrákus' concerns and opinions might as well evaporate into thin air #that he ignores the extremely obvious danger that he might put up any further resistance at all; despite setrákus clearly being Unhinged

My roommate was telling me how I’ve been up until almost 6am every night and how she tells me all the time to be quieter and when I told her that coming out of her room to ask me when I’m going to bed and telling me she doesn’t know when I ask her if something is wrong doesn’t tell me to be quiet is apparently gaslighting??

#bestie has been moved around 5 times now for housing bc she can’t get along with anyone #I’m seeing why #literally. first time she’s said she wants me to be quiet. and I’m like oh yeah for sure #and then she’s like I’ve told you so many times to be quiet at night just because you’re up all night doesn’t mean I have to be #and she was like I want to change our roommate agreement bc ur such a problem #clearly you’re only doing this bc I enforced the overnight guest rule that they can’t stay past 1am #and I’m like. none of that is true?? and she’s going on and on #and then she’s like well how would you like people being awake when you want to sleep?? and I’m like that’s something I’m super used to #and then she’s like well you have no empathy at all you’re so defensive and rude it’s just not nice #and it’s like. bestie. i knew all about u before u moved in. there’s a reason we had to fill out our agreement with the housing coordinator #she’s like and you should know I’ve been in contact with our ra. and I have someone one the phone right now as a witness #this was like 20 mins into the conversation like buddy if that’s the route you wanna go I will go #also me and our ra? besties. i make her cake pops and desserts. she really liked the lemon cake pops I made #and she can’t stand my roommate bc she goes out of her way to cause problems and lie #so like. we were already talking about her today when she stopped by for a cake pop #she was just telling me earlier like hey you really should email the housing coordinator for her doing those things it’s really not alright #the things being every time I have a conversation with someone she cracks her door open to listen in #but now I can’t send that email or else it’s retaliation #this girl is an absolute trip. universally hated by every ra on this campus #also she tries to freak my ra out by telling her we talk about her all the time. i do by best to not interact with her at all if I can help #oh oh oh. and she texted my ra saying I was having people over past what’s allowed every night for a week straight. which I haven’t at all #she really underestimates how good of friends I am with my ra. I’m dating a very close friend of hers and on top of that she used to be at #my apartment like every other day until roomie moved in. and she’s a known liar! why would either of us listen to a word she says about us #so yeah. those r the updates that I’m battling against #soup talks #no but for realsies tho. bestie has been moved so many times. her old roommate is an ra friend of mine and they cannot Stand each other #I’m pretty sure this is her last chance with campus housing. and god do I see why #also girl hates sound. Hates it. calls the ra on call whenever there’s wind bc we have old windows that r noisy #oh it’s also important to note we aren’t roommate roommates. we have our own bedrooms it’s like a normal 2bd apartment #so if she wanted to shut herself in her room she could. but noo she’s gotta crack open the door to listen in to everything I say and do

BEING A LIST OF THE THIRTEEN GREATEST RIVERDALE LINES, ON THE OCCASION OF THAT SHOW'S TERMINATION

As our much loved/hated show comes to an end, I feel compelled to record, for posterity, the greatest thirteen pieces of dialogue to spring from the pens of RAS and his henchmen. It was, of course, originally a top ten list, but I simply could not exclude a few of these treasures. Without further ado: 

13. 

“I dropped out in the 4th grade, to sell drugs, to support my nana.” 

“That means you haven't known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school football.” 

Spoken by: an inmate of Leopold and Loeb Juvenile Detention Center, and Archie Andrews. 

In: 3 x 2 

Yeah, okay, this one had to be on the list. It’s funny, I’ll admit. It’s a great example of the overwrought semi-sincere melodrama that helped make this show so special. It’s low on the list largely because The Normies got their hands on it, so every time I hear someone make a reference I get all “do not cite the deep magic to me, witch.” 

12. 

“No! No! What are we supposed to do now? I’m horny as heck!”

Spoken by: Archie Andrews 

In: 7 x 16

Season 7 is undeniably dreadful, and yet there are diamonds in the rough. The occasion is the failure of a projector, just as Archie and Reggie prepare to watch a pornographic film. The utter desperation with which KJ Apa delivers this line is exquisite. One is made to feel they are witnessing a genuine tragedy. 

11. 

“Tonight, they’re making an exception and debuting a cover of the song my parents claim they were listening to the night Jason and I were conceived.” 

Spoken by: Cheryl Blossom. 

In: 1 x 1 

Really a fantastic line. A wonderful encapsulation of the casual absurdity of Cheryl’s character, and a foretaste of the lunacy we would plumb in later episodes and seasons. 

10. 

“In case you haven’t noticed, I’m weird. I’m a weirdo. I don’t fit in and I don’t want to fit in. Have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? That’s weird.” 

Spoken by: Jughead Jones

In: 1 x 10

A genuine classic. “High school football” before “high school football.” One is never entirely sure just how sincere the line is meant to be, both on a meta-level and in-universe. A perfect illumination of Jughead’s pretentiousness. It is made all the better by the occasional cuts to Lili Reinhard’s agonized face. 

9. 

“At the last dance, multiple students were murdered.” 

Spoken by: Principal Holden Honey. 

In: 4 x 2

Delivered as an explanation to Toni and Cheryl, as to why there would be no school dance this year. Principal Honey is in fact supremely rational in the cancellation of this dance. This being Riverdale, he is of course treated as an unreasonable tyrant. 

8. 

“Bro, I know all the secrets of this universe.” 

Spoken by: Archie Andrews (evil version)

In: 6 x 5 

Spoken as evil Archie reveals his evil plan to keep the parallel universes apart. KJ Apa’s delivery once again makes this line. He is comically sinister. Strangely, he sells it. 

7. 

“A Vughead kiss, right now, in the present might be precisely what it takes to save a future Bughead from imploding.” 

Spoken by: Jughead Jones. 

In: 2 x 14

One of those lines that both makes me laugh and makes me genuinely angry. This was a fairly early season, and this may have actually been the first line to get me asking, ‘did they genuinely write and deliver that?’ Extra points for use of the atrocious ‘Vughead’ portmanteau ship name rather than ‘Jeronica.’ 

6. 

“I’m the ultimate wild card. I am the daughter of The Black Hood. The nightmare from next door. I’m training with the FBI and I’m coming for you, you psycho bitch.” 

Spoken by: Betty Cooper

In: 4 x 14 

Just delicious. Another one of those lines that leaves you somewhat unsure whether or not the writers understood how genuinely hysterical it was. “The Nightmare from Next Door” sounds like an announcer hyping up a wrestler. Spoken with a raw sincerity by Lili Reinhart. Also points for the heavy homoeroticism between Betty and Donna. 

5. 

“For I am Cheryl Blossom, Queen of the Bees.” 

Spoken by: Cheryl Blossom.

In: 5 x 16. 

This one really doesn’t require any elaboration. 

4. 

“Elijah ascended…and I will, too.” 

Spoken by: Edgar Evernever.

In: 4 x 5. 

Admittedly, this one is only spectacular with context. But in context—the context being that Chad Michael Murray delivers this line while dressed like Evel Knievel and standing in a cartoon rocket right out of a Warner Bros cartoon—it becomes utterly magnificent. 

3. 

“It’s not queer baiting, it’s saving the world.” 

Spoken by: Veronica Lodge. 

In: 6 x 22. 

It’s actually hard for me to decide whether this one is funnier with or without context. Without context it’s wonderful, but it possibly becomes even funnier when you know that the context is that Veronica needs to kiss Cheryl to transfer superpowers into her body so she can turn into a Scarlet Witch knock-off and stop a magic comet summoned by Sephiroth an English wizard who is also the Devil. 

2. 

“If there’s no wedding reception, it means the Gargoyle King has won.” 

Spoken by: Kevin Keller. 

In: 3 x 12.

One of my personal favorites. This is a perfect line because like #3, it requires no real elaboration. There is absolutely no context in which it isn’t hysterical. 

1 .

“Word of my exploits serving Nick his comeuppance has seeped into the demimonde of mobsters and molls my father used to associate with, so the five families are sending their youngest and brightest, their ‘princes,’ as it were to, well, come court the rare Mafia Princess who can belly up to the bar with the big boys.

Spoken by: Veronica Lodge. 

In: 2 x 20. 

This is, in my opinion, the all-timer. Every word is perfect. The rapid-fire alliteration. The use of the word ‘demimonde.’ The entirely unnecessary addition of ‘as it were.’ This is borderline Dr. Seuss. The fact that Camila Mendes delivered it without cracking a smile should have won her an Emmy. No. An Oscar. This line is Riverdale.
