there is so much more to be said here but peeta's biggest flaw is his strength and kill me if you want but if you really think about it he's an extremely closed of person. and much more than katniss! when do we see him actually opening up to people - the only time he gets taken care of is when he's physically not well and needs help literally. ,,most of my nightmares are about you so i'm okay once i realize you're there” is sure a sweet and romantic quote but i see so much sadness in it. he doesn't want to be a burden. he doesn't know how to be comforted because maybe no one was there to help him after a bad dream when he was a kid - completely unlike katniss's experience. and what about those dreams that aren't about katniss. she retells her nightmares to peeta and he locks them all inside of himself.

#which is so ironic considering the amount of time he gets called weak #he's literally never weak #that's the problem #he has to much self control which is ultimately what makes his hijacking worse #this is a shitty explanation definitely but i have no time to make a better one #thg #everlark #peeta mellark #peeta mellark: meta #mine #mine: thg

I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc

#damian wayne #damian al ghul #damian al ghul wayne #batman #batfamily #for all of the issues that come with having Steph as your fave having too much wild shit happening at once is never one of them #btw I quite like The Boy Wonder Issue 1. wow shocker an artist and writer who I have liked everything they've ever done #has once again written something that I am enjoying with art that makes me want to be part of its world. #it's almost like Juni Ba is really freaking talented or something #like I have some problems with it but it seems like many of those are part of the point. Damian is learning that his siblings are more #three-dimensional than he realized and that is part of this 'coming of age' story merged with fairytale #so I can't be mad at the oversimplistic defining of Dick and Jason and Tim until the conclusion of the series. that might be the point. #I hope that the series will address Steph as a Robin but if not then frankly it's not an issue unique to this series. #I'll be annoyed and disappointed but ultimately roll with it like I am with Babsgirl being here. There's too much good stuff here to get #hung up on shit that seems to be almost an editorial mandate at this point. at least that's where I'm at. #I am also very sorry that Chip Zdarsky is massacring your boy. he has 'X (Tim for him) is the best Robin so everyone else must suck' diseas #where a writer really likes one specific Robin and in trying to uplift them demeans all of the other Robins. instead of like...just writing #for that one character only or alternatively not demeaning the other characters in order to make his blorbo look good #it's wild because I actually think his writing for Tim is pretty solid. but he's not writing a Tim series. he's writing a Batman series. #and if you are going to write a Batman series and include other Batfamily members you need to actually write them well. #instead of assigning them like 2 personality traits while Tim gets to be a whole character #I accept that behavior in fanfic where I have lesser standards because it's fucking free. not a comic run that wants me to pay #tens of dollars in order to understand what the fuck is going on. he's been going for a while now it's gotta be a lot of money. #I can buy Steelworks with that money. I can see John Henry and Natasha Irons in a trade. Fuck you Chip. #it's why it takes such a special person to write a good ensemble story/a good Batfamily story. you have to be good at writing a LOT #of different characters. which I don't think most people are. I sure as hell am not. I can write maybe 3 at a time confidently well. #and you also have to give all of them at least SOME love or else people will be upset that you aren't focusing on their fave #and also the writing as a whole will suffer. Chip Zdarsky is a pretty good Tim writer. I'd maybe read a Tim solo written by him. #I would not read a story focusing on multiple characters that I like written by Chip Zdarsky. because every character who isn't Tim #is at least a bit weak/inconsistent/out of character INCLUDING FUCKING BATMAN. THE NO. 1 GUY MOST ARE HERE FOR

[mortysmith]

I HATE RICKS BACKSTORY SO FUCKING MUCH

#IT SUCKS!!! IT SUCKS!!! IT SUCKS!!! #its soooo obviously just so hes easier to digest and woobify by both the writers and the fandom. its so obviously not planned ahead. ITS BAD #rick goes from being a sad character as in. heres this adult senior man whos only real close confidant is his 14y/o grandson #who he is regularly verbally abusive to because he needs that sense of control in his life after existing in a multiverse that has forced- #pop nihilism onto him as a survival strategy. THIS IS PATHETIC AND IT MAKES HIM A COMPELLING CHARACTER!!! #but then they take seadon 3s meme joke not serious backstory that is so obviously making fun of that trope and theyre like #lets make it canon. actually. wouldnt that be cool #to me its reminant of like when fandoms take a stupid mocking joke thats made in passing and misinterpret it as sincere #UUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH #AND FUCKING DIANE!!! IS COMPLETELT ROBBED OF ANY CHANCE TO BE A CHARACTER AND EXIST OR DO ANYTHING!!! #SHE ONLY EXISTS SO THE AUDIENCE CAN SYMPATHISE WITH RICK #thats the only reason for this backstory. so that rick is sad and you feel bad for him because his life sucks actually #hes recontextualized from a character who is ultimately his own biggest weakness into a character who just had a tough time. #dont you just feel so bad for him

What's interesting about witnessing the shift in Tom and Shiv's relationship, is that for the first 3 seasons Shiv got to live in comfort of being her father in the relationship. She was in control. She was the emotionally detached one, keeping Tom at a distance from her inner vulnerable self like her father does to her and her siblings, despite Tom always appealing to that side of her, bearing himself and wanting that intimacy. She held all the power, and in holding all the power she felt secure that she wasn't going to be screwed over (like her dad did to her mum) and abandoned (like she felt her mum did to her). She could escape the fucked up divorce her parents had by being the embodiment of power (her father),,, which, like a lot of children of a messy divorce, she wanted to avoid such a thing for herself at all cost, and pride herself on her marriage and choice of partner instead of getting help for the trauma and damage she'd carried since childhood. Shiv was safe. She was secure. Like her dad, she had her own dog to kick to test its loyalty and feel secure and reassured every time that dog came back to her side.

But then the dog did bite back. Tom did betray her. The man she viewed as beneath her, all worshipping, and in her eyes nowhere near as smart as her, outplayed her and betrayed her and won over the approval of the very man that she'd been emulating. And now she's not her father. She's the last person she ever wanted to be. She's her mother. She's the one on the receiving end of Logan through Tom, making the divorce messy and difficult and painful by using the same tactics he did with her mother, something that gets to her easily and makes her extremely upset to the point where she's verging on tears. Tom is the one at Waystar + ATN. Tom is the one saying "uh huh." To her.

She thought that she could escape her mother's fate by being her father. By being cold and distant and emotionally closed off. By being the one who kicked the dog. She let her trauma and fears rule and guide her into making decisions and behaving in harmful ways (to Tom and herself) that she thought would protect her and never let her be hurt. And none of it worked. Because despite it all, she became her mother.

#became her mum in context of the relationship* #Shiv Roy #tom wambsgans #tomshiv #failmarriage #like ultimately her downfall was how the trauma of her parents messy divorce impacted and ruled her without her even being aware #because she was taught by Logan that emotions are a weakness so you better not get emotional about anything #you better repress all that shit and act like it doesnt bother you #let your subconscious cauterize itself till you can't hear it but you just let it rule you #and so cos she didn't sort of her shit (none of the siblings have and neither has Logan) she was ruled by this trauma #cos thats what happens when you have trauma and you dont sort it out #it lead to her being an asshole to Tom #because in her eyes her getting to be the emotionally absent partner that cares less for the other is more safe #she's in control. she kicks the dog. #and it calmed her subconscious and made her feel safe and at ease #not taking into account how that would wear Tom down over time #esp when Tom had someone like Greg at his side. like i fr don't know if Tom woulda ever betrayed Shiv if it wasn't for him having Greg #basically in short jus cos you're traumatised doesn't give you excuse to be an asshole to others to feel good and safe #it just means you're continuing the cycle #and people can argue that Tom knew what he was getting into in regards to loving her #but she also coulda put a stop to the relationship at any time. she chose to continue it and dish out on Tom #and took his love for granted #anywayyyyzzz #i love Shiv i love Tom #and it's sad #but consequences for actions and all that #succession #succession hbo

[trianglesimpfordpines]

the fact that ford ultimately breaks down and is about to actually make a deal with bill to spare stan and the kids during weirdmageddon is like...a really powerful moment i think. this man has been trying to hold the line for three decades. but nobody could keep that up forever! it may have taken him longer to crack than it would have taken most people, and ford may be insanely determined and resilient, but in the end, he’s only human. even he has his breaking point and weirdmageddon was it. stan ended up finishing the job and delivering the final blow not because ford “was never really the hero,” not because ford’s efforts against bill didn’t actually matter, but because ford was worn out. bill’s defeat took a team effort from stan and ford because humans are meant to help and support each other and that’s what makes us great; we’re not meant to carry the weight of the world alone. and when that’s exactly what you’ve been doing for three decades, all to prevent something that ends up happening anyway...anyone would break down at that point. even the greatest heroes are falliable. even the most perseverant people can be worn down. even the strongest people need other people.

#i'm too tired to be coherent but man. i actually Love that ford doesn't end up being the one to finish bill off. #i love when characters fail not because they're weak or stupid but because what they were trying to do just... #wasn't something they could actually reasonably manage. #imo his Struggle against bill was doomed from the start #if stan hadn't brought him back to dimension 46'\ and ultimately taken up the torch to defeat bill? #i think ford would 100% have died fighting bill #and weirdmageddon would have happened anyway eventually #ford trying to keep bill out is like...homura from madoka magica fighting walpurgisnacht over and over again #hoping that Maybe This Time she can win. but she can't. it's a doomed effort #gravity falls #gravity falls meta #stanford pines #ford pines

[lilflowerpot]

Hey there Flower! I hope all is well with you and that you’re having a wonderful day💜 I wanted to send in an ask because I recently had this realization and did some research and found out that the act of crying is a “uniquely human trait”. This got me thinking if the galra cry too? Let me explain a bit, so as far as I know other animals are capable of shedding tears but it’s not an emotional response so much as there might be something wrong/in their eyes.

We’ve seen that alteans can cry! But I wonder about the galra because I don’t believe we’ve seen any of them cry (not even Krolia).

I wasn’t sure if you’ve been asked this before or not and I tried my best looking to see if you have but the only post I saw relating was about the differences in galra/human anatomy and it did mention their eyes!

So with this information…can galra cry as an emotional response? If they can’t, what’s their reaction to humans doing it?

(Also please correct me if I’m wrong for any of the statements I made! I’m also aware that you’ve mentioned before that we will be seeing “Lotor tears” in the future of LB but we could say that he’s able to cry because of his altean half?)

Okay so first of all I love you for diligently scouring my blog to see if I'd already answered this question (I have not) your consideration is greatly appreciated ♡

Secondly, while I was aware than humans are the only known organism that cry from emotion, and we do indeed know that Alteans can cry as proven by s1ep09, I hadn't really considered whether or not the galra are a species were in the same boat,,, only that Lotor himself has to be because not only did I have him become teary-eyed in the most recent chapter—

“Is that enough?” the question scrapes ragged and ruinous against the silence that surrounds them. “Truthfully,” the prince admits, “I do not know.” and, with a start, Keith realises that summer-sky eyes are near as glassy as his own, “Though, if anything is to be your downfall, would you not rather it be love?” - Little Blade, chapter 24

—but I have Plans™ for his future that demand it.

That being said, when I think about it, it really doesn't make an awful lot of sense for the galra to cry from emotion due to Daibazaal having been such an arid planet that any unnecessary loss of fluid would have been a distinct evolutionary weakness for them, and so would likely have been evolved out (if ever it was something they were capable of in the first place). This, of course, begs the question: what displays of sorrow/emotional distress do the galra have?

As a direct result of this ask, I've once again expanded upon my galra body language post, adding to the "bad noises" bullet point:

Though they cannot cry tears as humans do, the galra expression of grief is—according to those who've heard it—one of the most harrowing sounds in the known universe; the drehvi is a distinctly mournful vocalisation unique to the galra people, taking the form of a raw, guttural, bellowing wail that stems from deep within the chest cavity and can be heard from up to half a league away.

If you can imagine the noise a bear might make upon suffering a sudden but mortal wound, and that sound echoing across an otherwise silent valley devoid of all life,,, that would be the drehvi.

So........... on that not-at-all-heartbreaking note, you also asked for the galra reaction to humans crying, which I am going to keep much lighter (because I am internally weeping now goddammit) so I'd have to say it's likely a mixture of confused and alarmed, because the human is,,, leaking?? Are humans supposed to do that?? Their breathing has also become remarkably erratic and hiccupy which is almost certainly Not Good if they do not regulate their oxygen intake they will DIE because humans are SMALL and FRAGILE, but they are also not currently in a state to explain themselves nor how to help??

#so yes Lotor can cry but it is indeed due to his altean heritage... and you can bet that zombie-Zarkon was no great fan of //that// #''a pathetic display of weakness owing to your mongrel blood'' #though keith's primary expression of sorrow is crying owing to his human half he has committed the drehvi only twice in his life thus far: #(and I say 'committed' because the galra consider it the ultimate act of love & pain rather than something that happens //to// you) #once upon being told his father was dead and once after the reality of kerberos really sank in #:))) #kaoru this one's really on you #Ao3 Little Blade #sa screams back #galra history & culture

for the "which moot am I" post: Hyperfixated. 100%. I don't understand your Go show, but I respect it and am smiling at your enthusiasm.

aww thanks!! <333 :D

I'm so grateful that you enjoy my enthusiasm-posting :}

#simply I love themmmm #the show is hitting several of my favorite things at once #amazing but ultimately human and sometimes weak main character? check! Hikaru and his foot in mouth disease... #cool cool worldbuilding (the world of competitive go is so complicated actually?! :D) #(also it's set in modern day (ish) (90s-early 2000s) Tokyo!!) #ALSO the relationship between Sai (a master player's ghost) and Hikaru (the boy he's trapped with) is SO FASCINATING #affectionate yet casual yet serious #and the culture of respect in competition????? idk man im not explaining it that well it just Gets me #and TOUYA. AKIRA TOUYA. BELOVED. #idk man it's just suuuch a good show. way emotionally deeper than it seems

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

pls i agree with the previous anon. like i need to see how your mind works. LIKE THE AMOUNT OF LORE YOU PUT INTO THIS STORY? no wonder you was struggling to write this chapter. no wonder you had to split it. YOURE PUTTING EVERYTHING INTO IT. i adore you.

i just love how you do megumi justice. like from what we hear from others (oh my god he was such a menace. jumping out of vehicles? biting people? willing to summon his ace just to spite everyone? trying to electrocute his uncle?) he has so much fire in him. he’s such a little shit. i love him. i’m so tired of everyone portraying him as some emotionless bland character. the dudebros don’t know him the way i do 🙁.

i’m honestly just itching to see yuuta spill the beans on his attachment to megumi like…would gojo actually be willing to kick that kid ass. IF ANYTHING gojo should consider this a win. the son he birthed from his gojoussy (i was there. i was the one cutting the cord ofc shh) has a loyal protector.

but in all honesty i have so many theories. like about mai, she might pop out to get the books & shit for her nephew? who knowsss.

the answer to how my mind works is “not well.” imagine a waiting room where the staff are only in attendance for 30 minutes per day (it’s never the same 30 minutes) and there is a hamster inexplicably lose. there are fish tanks but they are empty ones. you do not know what the business is or why you are waiting. dont stop me now by queen is playing on endless loop

#you cannot convince me that baby Megumi was not completely feral #that’s a kid who bit people I’ll die on that hill #there is something about Mahoraga that convinces me that it’s just the ultimate act of reclaiming control for Megumi #fundamentally Megumi does not have control over his own life #from a very young age he was locked into a profession that /would/ kill him one day #and again and again he displays this almost suicidal decision to summon something /guaranteed/ to kill him whenever he thinks hes going down #megumi never got to decide his life but by god he has decided upon his death #I think a part of him has always felt doomed from the beginning and got a bit of solace in knowing he’d die on his terms #he would die but he would not die having been beaten #like I think you just CANNOT underestimate the twisted relief that can be gotten from controlling the way you die after you’ve spent your #entire life under the shadow of your own death sentence #of course this means that the Zenin took even that comfort from him #megumi thought he was going to die and it was going to be in a way that robbed him of the only control he ever had #there’s a unique helplessness in that #I think the fact that he couldn’t even die on his terms hurt him more deeply than almost anything the Zenin did to him #he spent his entire life knowing he had an ace that couldn’t be taken from him and they still managed it #the Zenin made him feel weak as a child when they were abusing him #they made him feel weak when they spent that week hurting him #and they took away the only thing that ever made him feel truly strong #he wanted to hurt them back and it was a tremendous loss to not even have that #sea glass gardens

[gayleafpool]

i love the squirrelflight is a scourge reincarnation au but also consider. leafpool scourge reincarnation au

#i just think the irony would be interesting cuz the books tell us that scourge’s ultimate weakness is his lack of faith in starclan #which means he only gets one life while firestar has nine which allows firestar 2 come back and kill him #but then you’ve got leafpool. medicine cat + literallt chosen to give birth to cats who are more powerful than gods and are supposed to save #everyone #gods little princess except somehow they still manage to be her undoing #bc everything that goes wrong in her life can be traced back to starclan and how they lied to her and failed her and set her up #and even when she dies they try to fuck her over even more and send her to hell #so like in the end it’s funny bc starclan is their weakness and undoing all over again #just in the complete opposite way

[thisisadonaldduckblognow]

i want it known and i say this in full sincerity

u could make the best point about something rise-related in the world in a post. u could say something very interesting and funny and cool.

but if at any point u try to draw a line from a thing to the conclusion “raph is/was not fit to be leader” im gonna disregard everything else about that post, bc there is a base level fundamental misunderstanding there

#rottmnt raph #rottmnt #like...... he was not any more OR less suited to it than any of the bros would be.... tbh #and he ultimately did a genuinely VERY good job #we watched him learn and grow and improve and always try his best! #with the primary motive of keeping his brothers safe! #like idgi people love to say that and then make a point about XYZ qualities in leo that make him Really More Suited or whatever but #does leo not uhhh #not spend whatever timeskip between the series and movie not being a very good leader #does he not spend most of the movie not being very good at it and have to learn and grow and improve? #like just bc they both have different strengths and weaknesses AS leaders doesnt mean one is better or worse than the other #its so so so so not a competition like in rise so much of the POINT is the lack of contention about this EXACT thing #you can like leo as a leader and his good qualities without trying to sell that raph wasn't amazing too

[prettyboykatsuki]

Ari would you talk a bit more about how Sae can love you like someone born first, like an older brother with examples maybe? Only if you want to of course! You're one of the few people i trust with characterization so it's always a delightful experience to read how you view them!

yes!

its kind of hard for me to verbalize this ajkfdkjsf but i think older brothers tend to put a pressure on themselves to act a certain way even in the instances that their parents aren't putting outside pressure on them to succeed. this is effected by the gender of their younger sibling to an extent but it's just sort of an older sibling instinct.

a lot older brothers in relationships are sort of universally the same in relationships? they're not... nice. like that's not the word i would describe them with usually. kind but not nice. i think where rin can love you in a softer and more vulnerable way - sae is perpetually stone faced and almost a little cold around you to the point you have a hard time understanding his feelings

sae can love you like someone born first as in, he'll always look out for you, always give into you, and always be lenient towards you. he probably won't express any part of himself that openly like it won't show on his face but if you spend any time with him it's a bit obvious.

sae as a character i think values people who have a sense of independence and can accept him where he is - but contrarily i think he needs to be needed and the way he loves you reflects that conflict.

he'll do almost anything for you once he gets to that point in his own feelings but he won't approach you warmly or communicate these things to you at all lol. he has the distant kind of love that makes you feel like there's a wall between you and a debt you can't often repay.

to me that kind of stoicism and kindness feels very familiar to first born kids and big brother in general. this what i can do for you. i can love you practically and give you answer and solutions.

he seems like he needs to loved softly for that reason.

#return to sender #sae is a character who often contradicts himself #he acts arrogant but ultimately doesnt have the confidence to be a striker #he seems difficult and unreasonable but often utilizes his team and strengths on the field itself #his relationship to rin is full of it but i wont get into that #he is cold blunt and serious but ultimately not unfeeling #he recognizes he has weaknesses #a lot of rins characterization is a poor mimicry of his brother #rin is a senstive and soft kid #he acts the way he does because it's a shallow understanding of saes character #ANYWAYS. my point is that ultimately #sae is someone who takes on being a support more than anything else #and that aspect of him is very older brother to me. to be the pillar of someone elses goal lol

How is the Separation Arc more difficult to rewatch than the Mogami Arc

#mp100 #the mogami arc is fucking BRUTAL but somehow the separation arc is just. harder to rewatch. & i think the second hand embarrassment is a #factor (for me bc im VERY weak to it) but also i think its bc reigen is ultimately a very relatable char & his shit behavior making #everything worse is just. sad #the mogami arc is intentionally cruel to be cruel to mob but the separation arc is cruel to mob unintentionally bc reigen is a selfish #dipshit at times. its also just so ARHHHH bc after the family begging to not be exorcised & the mogami arc reigen shows he kinda. didnt #learn anything. & its soooo difficult to watch. he does ultimately learn & fix things later but like. fuck #reigen arataka #mogami keiji
