#And SO pettily

[itspileofgoodthings]

on another but related note, I love watching students react to Jennifer Ehle’s Elizabeth because she’s beautiful, truly, but she’s also real person beautiful not supermodel beautiful or Instagram filtered beautiful and as teenagers they do have their petty not at all valid but not at all their fault reaction to her kind of beauty, to the reality of it, where they rebel against even having to look at a Real Woman for a second (because the indoctrination and propoganda they have flooded into their brains every day is actually that bad and that damaging that looking at a gorgeous but still real 24 year old Jennifer Ehle makes their brains go on the fritz for a second) and then she and the story win them over. On the whole at least. And they have that moment of experiencing art meeting reality and discovering that it’s good. And I LOVE that.

#I know this sounds insane because it’s like. Jennifer is so pretty. She has such a nice face. She doesn’t even have slightly bad skin! #but she’s still real and she looks real and truly our media has strayed sooooooo far from depicting that that she can be a shock ! #to the indoctrinated mind #in the simplest way but yeah #also I love teenagers because they embody the pettiest and smallest instincts of our age SO TRUTHFULLY #And SO pettily #and they just say what we’re all thinking if we’re honest but also what we HAVE to rise above #and guiding them through that #Modeling (hate that term) how to look at and appreciate something #Is so fun #Can you tell I need to go back to school and teach

Do you think Toothless ever grumbles and is sarcastic in his internal monologue and then goes: "Great. I must be exhausted I'm starting to sound like Hiccup."

Hiccup building a gadget in the forge two meters away: "Did you just make fun of me?"

Toothless grumbling about how it's a long time past midnight and they should be asleep, can't Hiccup tinker in the morning or something

Hiccup: "No one is forcing you to be here, Toothless."

Toothless howls at the other and glares. Hiccup glares back. They're having a glaring contest at two in the morning.

Moments later, Berk's heir is being dragged back to the hut by his sleeve by a dark creature that almost blends into the shadows save for annoyed vivid green eyes as the boy argues with the Unholy Offspring of Lightning and Death Itself in hushed grumbles.

..............

#thinking about how Berk would need to get used to a Night Fury amongst their midst & said night fury constantly acompanying the scrawny boy #watching in bewilderment as Hiccup pettily argues or plays or casually communicates with a majestic creature they feared all their lives #it never ceases to amaze anyone how Hiccup and Toothless just... understand each other. so perfectly. as if there isn't even a language gap #httyd #httyd toothless #hiccup haddock #hiccup horrendous haddock iii #hiccup horrendous haddock lll #httyd hiccup #hiccup and toothless #hiccup how to train your dragon #toothless httyd #toothless #how to train your dragon

Well, it’s like you said, Guinevere. It’s what you do when you love someone.

Dude this show has ruined me, I'm remembering the time someone was ranting to me that they just watched the latest episode of a show they were watching, and it left off on a cliffhanger so they couldn't wait to see the next episode, and I was like "omg no! Do you at least know when it's coming out?" And they were like "yeah? Next week?" tfw you remember that most shows do, in fact, have normal airing schedules

#miraculous ladybug #ml #miraculous #мой пост #someone reblogged this with the tag [glares at astruc] #so this is where i inform you that astruc literally has nothing to do with the release of this show #he's the writer/director he only controls what goes on IN the show not when and how it's released #i'm not saying this pettily and i'm not saying you have to like the guy but you shouldnt blame someone for something they have #zero control over

microdosing on the tlt tag has been earth-shattering because it came with the revelation that my experience of being siren song'd into finally reading the series by ianthe tridentarius's abject dysfunction only be dashed against the rocks of her unanticipated tenderness was not universal

#the locked tomb #i was smitten with this woman on sight. are you telling me people had to be begrudgingly endeared to her. my morals folded like hot toffee #before her ghastly scheming vriskagirl visage #she tore chunks from naberius's arm w her teeth and i swooned. i had to put the book down and pace it out. i never wanted her more carnally #i experienced the entirety of the second book as a romance novel. i knew about griddlehark but nobody warned me abt how substantial #harryanthe was and i simply had to take their toxic yuri chicanery on the nose with the force of a planet imploding #my unrelenting lust for ianthe tridentarius had people concerned for my future romantic prospects #mine #sorry gideon i am hashtag team ianthe because it's so much funnier to root for the woman who got the patented cheek-kiss-rejection and stil #went on to pettily squabble w her situationship's ex-situationship while actively besieged by planetary murderghosts

it’s actually kind of crazy that it’s been one year since downpour because it doesn’t feel like that AT ALLLL. it feels like im still playing spearmaster for the first time and discovering suns is an idiot. im still in class hiding my phone to work on the achilles come down animatic. im still in the official discord post-rubicon channel posting spoilers and theories and making shit up on the spot to try and sound smart . Thank u everyone and thank u downpour she’s likea mother to me

#crammerposting #i’ve made so many new friends and met so many wonderful interesting people and found a few to pettily complain about !! what’s there to ask! #even if u personally think downpour was a bad dlc or something it’s still so cool how it changed so much about the community. Judgement day

FYI when it comes to trauma processing, sometimes one of the healthiest and productive decisions you can make is to ACTIVELY choose to avoid and not address an issue right now even if you "should"

Its easy to get caught in the "talk about it, use therapy productively, if you aren't doing anything, you aren't Doing Anything" and, while compulsive habitual avoidance typically causes temporary stagnation, ACTIVE acknowledgement that you are CHOOSING to ignore it and avoid it because you are CHOOSING to give yourself space and time is such a fundamental skill to emotional awareness, self regulation, self compassion, and rebuilding trust within yourself to maintain your own boundaries even when you feel that you "should" ignore them

Actively choosing to not address a topic at the moment is good practice at saying "I am not ready and I need more time and for that reason I am going to actively refuse to engage in this topic at the current moment" which helps so immensely at being more mindful of your own needs and emotional states which can be hard as someone with C-PTSD

Sometimes the best and most healing thing you can do for yourself is Nothing.

#alter: riku #actuallydid #dissociative identity disorder #c-ptsd #ptsd #subtext: yes I am also writing this to justify to myself my active decision to pettily and needlessly #avoid talking about something i should in therapy #cause it is petty and small and not mentioning it - while “not productive” and “being resistant to treatment” - is relatively #harmless and annoying at best #so.... yeah im making that active decision cause i need that time #so imma take it

it's important to remember that platonic relationships can be just as impactful as romantic relationships. this will help you take full advantage of all potential relationship drama in your writing.

#thinking about that time the Reluctant Director tracked Cornelius across the Hinterlands just to accuse him of a crime he didn't commit #despite having proof of crimes he did in fact commit #because they didn't care about the other crimes #they just really pettily thought he was involved in a different crime because they were jealous (platonic) #meanwhile Mister Fires was right there #both of them mid-standoff like ''where's Furnace Ancona and what did you do with her- wait I thought you had her'' #''I will make your life a hell'' what are you two #what is up with your rivalry #this post was brought to you by: Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine being on their platonic love triangle playlist #okay fine they did care about the other crimes but Furnace said fuck off when they brought it up so they did because they're a simp

people on that one post really seem to think I meant "obsession" in the sense of, I guess, "really interested in" and not in the sense of "fixation in a toxic bad vibes juice marinade" and it's not going to stop annoying me anytime soon

#and i like the post too much to delete it so like #i will just continue to be pettily annoyed about it #i should've just left it at #'the love can come later the bad vibes should be immediate' #alas! how i suffer #lise's aggressively bitchy opinions about irrelevant and unimportant matters #important text posts

[thekidsarentalright]

every time fob makes a pop culture ref this era (and there's already been several) i just giggle to myself thinking about that one person who said they dont reference pop culture a lot

#fob is thee pop culture ref band regardless but like #field of dreams reality bites princess bride neverending story calvin & hobbs nicole kidman #all that just from. one song and a 5 second snippet. lol. that person is so dumb #txt #pop culture.txt #<- literally just so i can find this post and pettily rb it every time they make new refs LMAO

#I really like the “We're the bad guys' enemy” line. For someone I generally despise Dazai has all my favourite lines in this show… #Idk I can't really vibe with the unbalance that there is between s/kk. #Like when push comes to shove‚ Dazai has the power to keep Chuuya alive or let him die. #I understand why they make a compelling dynamic in their complexity‚ but it just doesn't do it for me. #I'm a little sad my opinion on them hasn't really changed since I watched the anime for the first time... #Also; I really can't vibe with Chuuya allowing Dazai to kill Q. Yes I know Chuuya cares about his comrades deeply. #Yes I know it can be interpreted as Chuuya seeing himself in Q as a living weapon and being disgusted by it #(though I honestly don't think that was intentional of the author). #Yes I know Chuuya is a mafioso and kills people. No I don't think your personal issues justify you being a dick to other people I'm sorry. #Back to my main annoyance with the episode: I must have already talked about this but I hate hate hate the narrative #“the mafia works for the city” “the mafia deeply loves the city too” it's so so sickening and insulting please stop I'm begging. #Please visit any actual city with a rooted mafia presence for once in your life (signed: someone whose hometown was destroyed by the mafia. #The writers really don't know what they're talking about and‚ politely‚ it's offensive.) #Also b/sd keeping being extremely nationalist with Mori (who's largely depicted unsimphatetically for the first part of the episode)– #bringing up western thinkers and subtly mocking Fukuzawa for not knowing them– #and Fukuzawa (the righteous man. the noble spirit and just soul in this episode and Mori's antithesis)– #stepping forward to say that he knows strategists from the east (because who else would he need?) #I don't know if it's meant to symbolize the conflict with an hostile and invading foreign power (the Guild). #But it does come across as. A very isolationist way of thinking. #I know it's subtle but it's really evident for me. And I didn't want to talk about this any further… #But by bringing actual examples of this I hope I can better explain why I think that b/sd holds nationalist views– #and that I'm not just making it up out of nowhere. Otherwise I fear I'd only come off as pettily hostile to b/sd in everything #That's it. I feel like I've been losing a lot of mutuals over my main recently due to not shutting up (sorry) #so I suppose it's only fair I lose them on here too pffttt. #Tune in next week for more bad takes #random rambles

I think apologism is fun and sexy but sometimes you see people defend a character in a way that is not just wrong but antithetical to the character's actual motivations and moral framework like girl. Not even the guy you're defending thinks you're right. You are getting fired as his defense lawyer and sued for misrepresentation.

#this is like a companion piece to my 'he did none of that he did some other shit tho' post #yes he IS a poor lil meow meow. his actions WERE justified. not like that tho. #this is inspired by the nmj takes that are like 'jgy is so evil for killing him because nmj lifted him up from nothing' #when the one time meng yao says he owes a debt to nmj he reacts to that by storming in and promptly trying to help him get a new job #'you think you owe me?? fuck you. here's a recommendation letter' #it is also. obviously. about hawks. #not even gonna explain that one. you know who you are. #and much more pettily it was also inspired by the twitter thread i just saw saying xue yang wiped out baixue temple #because- get ready #'song lan was an abuser (for whipping him) and he probably thought they taught him to be abusive' #and he 'spared' song lan by blinding him 'because he already fell in love with xingchen and couldn't k*ll someone xingchen cared about' #it's very important to me that you know the word kill was censored. crucial to the vibe of the whole thread #complaining and whining about fandom

NEVER!!!! play volleyball with haitham and kaveh because if one of them calls the ball, the other will hit it anyway and that is how a fight will break loose

#lavie.exe #alhaitham #kaveh #kavetham #haiveh #also imo alhaitham is an outside hitter #can't tell if kaveh gives setter energy or mid blocker energy #if kaveh is the setter i feel like he'd pettily never pass it to haitham #anyway this happened during a quarterfinal game irl and i was so mad at the two 😭😭 #i feel bad because i kinda yelled at them to stop fighting

I feel like Tim and Munkustrap interactions would be really cute. Idk why. I feel they're used to being the "straight men" (I use this term extremely loosely) to Steve's goofy antics, and even though they get tired of his shenanigans sometimes, they're still super protective of him.

#bigtop burger #btb steve #btb munkustrap #btb tim #Y'all I love tim so much #I never talk about him but like damn #I love him #So much #Do I ship this now? #Uhhhh maybe???? #Their ship name is “The Steve Protection Squad” #Because he needs it #He needs all the protection he can get #Also they both bond over the fact that they don't trust Cesare from a hole in the wall #And they pettily talk about him behind his back #And whenever he does something extra they like share a LOOK and laugh at him under their breaths

[vaguely-concerned]

this is not what's going to happen and frankly neither is it what he deserves, but my one wish for augustine (my personal locked tomb babygirl and poor little meow meow) in alecto the ninth is for him to come sauntering out of hell wearing flip flops and a hawaiian shirt, possibly holding a drink with a little umbrella in it, going 'after ten thousand years of dealing with this fucking family a trip to the darkest depths of hell was a goddamn vacation and to be honest I resent the interruption'. despite his many many (many many many) sins this man has had to put up with john's bullshit for longer and more intimately (ahaha) than almost anyone else and I simply feel like that should make him eligible for SOME kind of compensation, emotionally

#the locked tomb #augustine the first #no spoilers just futile hopes for my problematic fave lmao #thinking about augustine completely without mercy at all makes me so sad tho. who is he going to squabble pettily with :'(

I JUST FIGURED OUT WHY I HATE ROSE

I. started writing this and closed it there but I figured it out!!

she fills the exact same narrative role as hikari does in digimon adventure 01. and I HATED how they handled hikari

they are very very similar characters in how they are written. powerful girls who join the main cast late but still have the same amount of power growth the main characters have had (for hikari that being her partner digimon, who should be child level to fit in with everyone else's, is permanently at the adult stage) and they are the solution to a huge problem, and happen to be more mature than someone their age would be

I do prefer manga rose's design as I get a bit weirded out by characters who are drawn too childish but personally I would her writing should have been handled a little differently, she has been asleep for all this time and she would be confused and need reintegrating into everything but she would still mentally also be a child. I'm not a huge fan of "they are this young but they act like an adult" curse all writers seem to have when it comes to their younger characters because they cannot remember how children act at specific ages but it would have done her better to be a bit more childish and selfish I think (this goes for hikari too!!) instead of taking care of her older brother

this might seem a bit loose and open ended I'm not sure how to end it but I DEFINITELY have thoughts on this series

#ai.txt #kaitou joker #sje is literally a child and I like her but #UGHH some people have written characters badly #I have gotten attached to characters with way less development so. #pettily removes a line : )
