Kristen Arknights is giving me brainworms this cannot continue
Before Lone Trail, I was really convinced that "ah yeah so she's really evil", like what, she approved and conducted the Diabolic Experiment? She approved the experiment at Site #359 and was probably looking at the giant Hub from her window, presumably while eating popcorns, and when Saria arrived to scream at her "WHAT THE FUCK" Kristen just replied "Oh hey I knew you would solve it"? She also funded Loken's Watertank and collected his data on children experiments after he got arrested??
Any sane person would be calling her an egoist, a betrayer, a seeker, a loner
And yet, she was a pioneer.
Lone Trail dropped and now, I don't even know what to think anymore of this character. Like I don't approve what she has done, but also, I don't hate her. She put me into a state of mind I can't think straight anymore. This dog is TRULY fucked up.
She was obsessed, truly obsessed by her dream. She wanted to achieve what her parents had failed to do. She wanted to honor her family, to prove something to the world. To find the truth. To break the sky.
And she fucking did it. She absolutely did. She achieved it, she had done what nobody has ever done before. Regardless of the methods, regardless of morals and ethics, what she did was HUGE. That night, everyone on Terra looked up at the sky. She made a huge step forward, she revolutioned and changed things. The moment she pierced the starpod, a page in the history of the world had been turned, a new era has started. This event was major. And countless scientists will look up upon her, and for ages, her name will be praised.
And she did at what cost? Everything. Her own life, her friends.
I can't stop thinking about how much she tried to keep Saria away from her. I thought that Kristen was using Saria, that she didn't care about her, but actually it's... Something else. She does care about Saria, but it's Saria who was completely obsessed with Kristen. It's Saria who refused to let go. Of course, Saria devoted her life to protect Kristen, she wanted to stay with her until the very end. Kristen did not wanted it, she wanted Saria to continue to live on. It's her dream, and she's ready to die to achieve it. Not Saria's. Nor Muelsyse's.
I can't stop thinking about how she tried EVERYTHING to stop Saria. She studied her Arts, found ways to supress them, created Power Armors to neutralize them, she showed coldness to Saria to keep her away. But god, Saria was clingy as hell. If Kristen had to get to install a trap door in her spaceship SPECIFICALLY for Saria, that's to say how much Saria did not want to let go.
Saria was ready to die for Kristen, she was ready to stay with her until the very end. But Kristen always had in mind to go alone.
And in the end, she had to show Saria that she deserves to live, to continue, that there's still people who need her. Rhine Lab needs her. Ifrit needs her. Silence needs her. Rhodes Island needs her. She can't join Kristen like that. She can't die yet.
Even if Kristen was obsessed by her dream, she was still able to care enough for Saria and the people around her.
And god fucking damn I'm crying
Kristen is absolutely the best antagonist of all Arknights there's absolutely no way we can't do better, I'm standing on my ground

I'm so tired that everytime charles gets pole all the f1 content pages start talking about most pole without wdc, conversion to win, jokes about charles pole / max win
When other non red bull drivers get pole this season is always a moment of celebration, considering how dominant red bull are, but with charles it turn to a opportunity to mock him
And even him said in a interview yesterday that he doesn't get much excited for the poles anymore because Sunday is what matters. Last weekend he also talked about people focusing on the convention to win as a bad thing, when he simply doesn't have the car.
I feel like the way people and media are always focusing on this when he gets pole is also starting to make him enjoy less the poles he gets now
i noticed that too! when he immediately went on about his pole vs win conversion and the only reason why he knew that is because he saw that topic being all over twitter during austin and has not been able to stop talking abt that stat, or ask ppl to stop talking abt that stat in general
i think it comes from the fact that ferrari is one of the most iconic and well-known brands, everyone who knows abou f1 KNOWS about ferrari, so if charles gets pole is not about him, is about FERRARI being on pole; and when he doesn't win, it's not about ferrari losing, it's about CHARLES losing. it's also bc charles himself is one of the most beloved drivers and just his face is very marketable so he despite him not having a wdc title, he is everywhere, and that means more eyes on him specially on sundays
i wish ppl would put some respect on his name, because he has been very consistent with this driving throughout the years and has been one of the drivers that has challenged max the most (who drives the most dominant car on the grid) despite never having a dominant car himself. idk at the end of the day it also falls on ferrari not being a circus so their drivers don't make fun of themselves on the track, but that's a whole other topic lmao

this has just been on my mind bc I was going thru @webbywill’s Gotham lb tag n saw some posts about it but i was trying to remember which characters zsasz was weird™️ about n the ones I can remember are
JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM! because everyone is weird about Jim
Barbara, when she was being held hostage by Falcone and he was watching her
Oswald, as Oswald can’t have a normal relationship with another man and also whatever is happening between Zsasz and the boss + right hand man dynamic
Adult Ivy? technically enthralled, so ambiguous on this point
Ed, especially when he helped him bring down Butch because what the hell did Ed say or do to convince him to be part of that plot. what’s going on there you bisexual freaks
Tabitha, when he suggested he ought to “pat [her] down for weapons”
Sofia Falcone, but that was likely misplaced emotions about her dad. Freud wins again?
Alvarez, literally said it. king.
