#I don’t like her but she fascinates me

[river-of-wine]

I don’t think Miss Grimshaw is ever actually discussed with the nuance she requires but as the Molly O'Shea woman I do not want to get into all of that

#she’s such an interesting character and yet I see no one actually going in depth about what makes her interesting #it’s always just. rampant misogyny which yeah she’s a woman in a video game #or it’s discussing her like she’s just this wonderful mother figure #like no. that is not what she is. neither of those are what she is #she is a complicated person and I find her more interesting than most of the gang #I don’t like her but she fascinates me #and it’s really frustrating and confusing to see her discussed in the way that she is #that being said I’m obviously not looking for grimshaw stuff very often so there cool be very good analysis of her out there #but I’m yet to see it widely talked about and when I have seen her discussed it always feels like huge aspects of her are missed #rdr2 #girls against grimshaw

It’s really interesting to me how elusive Kipperlily Copperkettle has been throughout what is now the first half of the season.

She’s the closest thing we have to an identifiable Big Bad. She gets established in episode 3 to be constantly vigilant, capable of eavesdropping on anything and everything.

And then she’s physically MIA (iirc) for seven episodes, barring her scene with the food trucks at the start of episode 7. I think she’s said to be present at the assembly this most recent episode (ep 10) but she doesn’t appear to be an active participant in anything. That inaction is eating away at me… bc I know she’s doing something.

Talk about haunting a narrative… I’m constantly aware of her nonexistence. I’m paranoid. With every episode that we don’t hear from or interact with KLCK, she grows more terrifying to me. Brennan made sure to establish right away that she could be listening at literally any point. Riz tried to keep that at the forefront of his mind initially, but even he let that idea fall to the wayside as stress built up and time passed.

I think we’ve settled into a false sense of security in this respect. I think that at any point Brennan can and will drop a KLCK bomb on us and oh boy it’s gonna be deliciously messy.

the last unicorn post from earlier has me thinking about the master. that yana is still in there, you know? is still someone he was, if even for a brief flash across the life of a time lord. there’s no way to unlive that life. there are ways to twist it later, sure, to make utopia into hell on earth. but the life was lived. in much the same way that the doctor can remember, can feel, the love he held onto as john smith even as that life is ripped out of his hands. the doctor choose denial and then grief and then to shutter it all away. and so john smith died, and so professor yana died, and the doctor and the master live on. the doctor has done this before, and he lives in orbit around humanity, trying to keep the best parts of them and hold them deep enough to take root (which he can pretend he gets to choose, as a time lord. as a human, it all floods in and can’t be dug back out.) but what about the master, right?

to borrow a turn of phrase: i think there are two time lords left in the universe, and they both learned how to regret.

#regret here meaning less feeling the emotion of actual regret obviously because time lords do not actually funxtion on unicorn rules. they #already get sad just fine on their own. no humanity needed for that. #but i dont know. i just dont think he brushed it off so easily. i think he did a hell of a job convincing himself he did. #and what better way then to twist his own great works and destroy the species he was working so hard to save at the end of the universe. #but what about the knowledge that he *could* be that person. that somewhere in him exists a version that wanted to save people. #a version that is painfully too much like the doctor. even. now is that part worse or better than the human part? #but if past regenerations are ghosts i think yana deserves a haunt. #anyway maybe ignore this one im rambling about nothing here #theres just. i dont know. what if you were the last of your kind and in surviving you made yourself Not Like Them in a way you’ll never #escape. #i mean doctor who is just so concerned with all these plots about hybrids and children of the tardis and clones and What Makes A Time Lord. #but they’re so obsessed with it in just. a very Lore way. is what it feels like. we get brushes of more like with jenny and how she’s #physically a time lord and the doctor denies her that inheritance. a shared suffering… #but me myself im just fascinated with the doctor and the master as the time lords who survived. but they survived Wrong #its. its. children of gallifrey that don’t belong to her anymore. you know? #i dont care if river’s got time lord dna!!! or the metacrisis is physically human!!! i dont care!!! talk to me about what it means beyond #their blood and bones!!! what’s it like to have your sense of self stripped from you like that!!! #what’s it like when so much of you is the shed skin of time lords past. but one of you was human. one of you was painfully *humiliatingly* #human!!! #enough about how much dna you need to count as a time lord. i want to know how much they can mutate until they can’t be recognized as one. #does that make sense?

Porfiry telling Raskolnikov that at least he was honest and in one bound took the furthest leap to put his theory to the test of actual action——

#Taylor believing a man who is obviously lying to her #like. it’s fascinating to me how they’ll say anything to her and she’ll be like ‘okay let’s go’ #she’s never read Jane Austen and it shows. but that’s okay because she’s the character in an Austen novel #she has no sense of self-preservation she has no common sense when it comes to love #and the reason I have endless patience for that is because she IS different. she is extraordinary. she is WEIRD. she’s so needy #so angry so fragile so stupid so brilliant so completely helpless #like the bolter———I can’t even LOOK at it right now #because you know she was like this since she was 5 and SHE knows it #just so. Different. so strange. I mean she ruled her family with an iron fist from the age of 11 #and her packaging is so basic and she she had so much access to everything anyone could want #so there are none of the usual marks of someone being so Different #but like. people HATED her from day one. you know her own strength of personality was drawing out many people’s hatred or envy #and she’s so helpless in her own personality because she can never change #like thank you aimee? or whatever? heck yeah there was some girl who bullied her and brutalized her on the playground #and you know it devastated Taylor from day one and still does #and it’s just. I don’t know how people can’t see that someone with that extraordinary set of gifts #wouldn’t also suffer in such an extraordinary way #and ways that elicit so much scorn and non-sympathy because people are unsettled and jealous and annoyed by her #because she WILL find a way to win #but isn’t that proof enough that she is the very OPPOSITE OF NORMAL #it’s why people have to be like ‘oh she sold her soul to the devil for this success.’ or whatever the psy-op spy thing is #because there’s no human way to explain her success if she really were as basic/talentless as people say #ugh this is all so incoherent and irritating and I’m so sorry but I just. I cannot explain how protective my heart is of her #and all the many many mistakes she’s made and the prisons she’s made for herself because she’s LIVING the tragedy #of never having denied herself one time/getting everything she wants #and discovering the poison at the bottom of everything she reached for with desperate hands #like. I love her so much and I am so protective of her because she is so helpless and she is getting shot in the face every time #and she feels every blow! #whew I need to turn off reblogs and will probably delete but I just #this album is all of her spilled out and people DO hate to see it because a lot of people hate her!!!!

Wildly apprehensive about the furiosa movie

#just. not optimistic #George miller obviously consistently makes interesting movies so I want to have faith! but… I don’t. #the choice of lead actress is. well. not reassuring to me #but more importantly we didn’t need a furiosa backstory!! stop making characters backstories explicit!! stop it! #we already knew everything we needed to know about her which was how her life affected her—her guilt and complicity in the violence #and the hope she hung on to #a whole movie of backstory is not going to give her character any depth or nuance that wasn’t already there #and the same thing about I don’t think we need to dig into immortan joes world and society any more like I think we got it already #I was really hoping that if they did a new movie it would show some new fascinating society and characters like the past movies have! #AND the way that the trailer seems just comprised of shots that are callbacks to fury road. hm. hopefully that’s just the trailer but #I’m not interested in watching a movie that’s just a reiteration of a movie I’ve already seen but she’s got long hair this time #and I also as previously stated do not think atj is going to deliver an interesting performance but idk maybe I’ll be wrong! #HOPEFULLY IM WRONG! PRAYER CIRCLE FOR ME TO BE WRONG!

Drew these two after hearing about what’s going on currently in go rush. As a Yuhi fan, I’m having a great time.

Default coloring

#yugioh go rush #go rush #yuhi ohdo #yuamu ohdo #buzzsaw’s art #go rush spoilers and my thoughts about the recent episodes in the tags but I haven't seen go rush yet #Yuhi was the character I looked at first in go rush and said “oh they’re gonna be my blorbo” so for him to just get carded with no build up #i absolutely hate it #From what I’m able to tell/expect from Yuhi’s depression or whatever he’s got is that he would go into a really fascinating character #And could even help show kids watching at home the ways you could deal/not deal with depression and sadness #But no he just got carded. And will likely get out of being carded without depression #And I don't know much about Yuama but does she get any time to grieve? Or get an arc about this? #Like I don’t want Yuama to have an arc based almost entirely around a man even if it’s her brother #But she could give a really interesting perspective about loss at a young age. #I don’t know if she’ll get that or if she’s already had an arc during season two #But I’m just hoping she’ll be able to be sad and have time before another plot point occurs. #Also if whatever I say is wrong please tell me cause I just really wanna know about these two twin’s deals after this. #talks with buzzsaw #Ali learns about go rush

I’m so fascinated by Diane Sanchez as a character and how she could fit in their universe as well as how she can be utilized by the fandom, but then I try to go into her tag and it’s stuff like “smartest Diane au where Summer has Morty’s personality” so the whole thing just feels like genderbent Rick and Morty instead Diane’s own au, or it’s stuff like “what if Diane doesn’t actually exist” which makes no fucking sense to me

I’m frustrated!! Like we’ve seen from Rick C-137 and Simple Rick that they were so happy with Diane, and the only time we see Diane is from memories and stuff, we never see another actual alternate version of her (except I think in the comics with Rebel Rick and isn’t it implied that she got killed while he was away???), and I’m obsessed with the implications that all the Ricks we’ve seen have lost their own Dianes and it’s made them into bitter assholes

I would love to see the fandom theorize what would happen if they met an alternate Diane, I would love au’s where she’s the smartest person in her universe where they actually treat Diane like she’s Diane and not just genderbent Rick (personally, I think she’s a bit sweeter than Rick, my own hc is that she’d make a device to hide herself instead of using kids, if she brought any grandchildren along it would be just to let them have a fun adventure)

I just think for the whole multiverse and citadel of Ricks, Diane would be such a fascinating character to introduce to it

#she could be a blorbo #chewing her up like a dog toy #diane sanchez #makes me so sad we don’t really have a maiden name for her #rick and morty #citadel of ricks #I know I know I know I keep bringing this up #but it would be so fascinating!! #and I’m the only who cares about it 😭😭😭

gagarley is going to rewire my fucking brain chemistry in the same way ledger joker did.

#ooc. o kaptain. #[I’m gearing up to buy cringy movie shirts. I don’t like j-arley at the fuck all but I’ll take a fresh iteration to see how it’s done in #this capacity. but you know what else I fuckin know? I’m obsessed to shit with how she’s gonna act this. I’m salivating like this is a #Salisbury steak and I’m an Arkham inmate. I’m gonna get so fucking deep about this. I can feel the lack of normalcy approaching. this woman #is going to make her FASCINATING. shitting because I haven’t even seen joker and that’s hilarious. meanwhile I associate Joaquin with beau #is afraid. two time Oscar winning joker role is nuts. Nickel joke here etc. (the ledge homages are making me hurl.)]

Adelaide Kane needs to reprise her role on SNW (somehow) so we can see her in Romulan tactical gear and with those famous pointy ears.

#* #adelaide kane #sera #star trek #star trek: strange new worlds #also la’an and sera reminded me SO MUCH of the seven and narissa dynamic from st: picard #i need more of it #i pretend not to see that she disintegrated herself and instead choose to believe she beamed herself tf outta there like narissa did #when the borg grabbed her #because no way was girlie quitting after 30 years and flirt-fighting for her life #FR though can we talk about how sera gave la’an an out???? #she had every advantage against her but instead she chose to talk (and villain monologue) with her and offer her the opportunity to live #sera’an could be THAT enemies to rivals to allies in teeth-clenched teamwork #look don’t @ me i love a redemption arc and i think either narissa or sera would be so interesting to see undertaking one bc while they’re #not in that place in their current canon point they could be?? because both of them are just completely brainwashed into serving #the star empire and doing sketchy secret police stuff but they have no idea of a life outside of that #and it’s clear the people they work for don’t give a shit about them beyond the mission or what they can do for their people which #i get is romulan culture and what they’ve been born into BUT #idk idk i just find both of them so fascinating #tal shiar spies will always be loved by me

I find Miss Grimshaw’s death to be one of the most interesting out of the characters that die in RDR2 because there is just so much going on with it. She begins chapter six shooting an innocent woman, doing what she believes is the right thing as the arbiter of justice she is described as. She shoots an innocent woman through the stomach for a perceived betrayal, and in doing so, she damns herself. Grimshaw ends the chapter being shot through the stomach by Micah, by the real traitor that she failed to recognise, for what was, in Dutch’s eyes, her own perceived betrayal. Molly confessed to ratting on the gang, something that she didn’t do but knew the consequences of, and Grimshaw, as her final action of the game, turns on Dutch, the man she has been loyal to for so many years, on the side of John and Arthur. Grimshaw’s death comes at such an interesting part in the story, such a climactic moment, and yet it is almost entirely unnoticed by everybody around her. In this huge moment, this standoff between what remains of the gang, the murder of one of its longest standing members just kind of happens, and then the standoff continues as Dutch gives a speech over the dying, agonised screams of a woman who has spent so many years loyally at his side, who has taken her first real stand against him, who has been murdered, who is now a traitor and not worth acknowledging. Grimshaw dies in pain, perhaps the most that we hear from a gang member’s death that we actually witness, though I’m sure Kieran’s torture at the hands of the O’Driscolls was even less pleasant. Grimshaw’s death is the death of what may have still remained of the gang, the security within it that she helped to provide, and her death is the justice that she failed to correctly serve returning to her, her failure to actually kill the traitor then killing her. She is shot through the stomach and dies in pain and the man she had been so loyal to simply does not care

#red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 #I do not like grimshaw at all but she is one of the most interesting characters in the whole game to me #I think about her and her parallels with the other women a lot #like the fact that she gets shot in the stomach and the fact that it’s micah who does it #and also on the topic of molly parallels #did her body burn? she isn’t there when you go back for the money in beaver hollow which is the only cutscene where arthur mentions her #charles says he buried her but how much did he bury? how much of her was left? #anyway yeah there’s some analysis of a character I don’t like but who fascinates me #girls against grimshaw

i’m watching the secret x files which are about interpersonal relationships and character dynamics

#today’s topic of musing. marita covarrubias. she interests me a lot #particularly her relationship to mulder. like she’s his source but she’s more than his previous sources were #but she isn’t really a love interest for him either. at least not that i noticed #so they’re in this weird limbo of like. i trust you i don’t trust you you don’t trust me #i have your home phone number i fell asleep on your couch when you stole evidence i was the first one you called #but when i’m in trouble you can’t help me and when you’re in trouble i can’t help you until i can and then i will #idk. fascinating

nothing funnier to me than people who pretend that Taylor Swift is not a force of nature.

#Michael Knowles or whatever being like the secret to her success is that she’s so nORmAl #fascinating tell me more #(no don’t) #people who say we’re lucky she wanted to play guitar and put on a yeehaw country accent because otherwise she’d be a serial killer #are closer to the truth. the combination of things she is is not basic #the truth in the lie of ‘she’s so normal’ is that —like all the things I really love —she’s in the center of people’s taste #by which I mean. Her appeal is central not fringe or acquired #and yet she’s still kind of acquired! #anyway a secret about me is that I only really love devastatingly popular things. not on purpose it just happens that way #which is a very helpful quality for teaching tbh

i think… it isn’t so much that robin doesn’t care about kingdoms or peoples lives. i think that like… at the end of the day, she is a chaotic neutral bordering chaotic good character.

i think… it’s more that robin never allowed herself to care until she met the straw hats, because she couldn’t afford to if she wished to accomplish her goal. and that goal was the only reason why she was enduring the exhausting reality that was her life (up until she met the straw hats)

#i am trying to get into robins head at the end of the alabasta arc and im so close to just. cracking her open. #it’s like i keep knocking at the shell and each time i do i get closer and closer to it #who is she? what was her end goal? what was she feeling? #she fascinates me so much #also i used to rp for characters i latched onto in fandoms and that helped me build meta and headcanons for the characters for my fanfics #but I’m too lazy for all of that these days so I haven’t done it for Robin yet #im just tossing stuff at a wall and seeing what sticks instead of bouncing off of people #so it’s a longer process #(don’t mind me I am just rambling) #… #ange rambles #robin headcanons

i dreamt of her again

#this is so weird #ok story now #i met her on the internet in some facebook grupo abt one direction or something lol and since the first time i interacted with her she #seemed to be a very beautiful person. she was (is) fascinating to me #we started talking and became really close #we used to watch movies together and talk about everything all the time and yes #it was like… since the begging i knew that i was going to start feeling something more for her. it was weird because obviously we don’t even #know each other like in real life lol but i felt like i did… and one day i remember it was Valentine’s Day #she told me that she was in love with me and she wanted to know if it was mutual #and i was like no way this is not happening i remember it took me HOURS to answer to her because in that time #i was very bad. there was a lot going on with me i had depression and i wasn’t eating well and etc and oh #it took me hours to think about it but i told her that it was indeed very mutual #and so she told me that if i wanted to be her girlfriend and i was so happy #but i don’t know. it didn’t worked and it was because of me #and i know that it probably meant nothing to her but it did to me because she was the first woman that i liked #she made me realize who i was. and she made me feel beautiful and seen and she taught me so many things #and i still feel things for her i guess. which is kinda funny cause i don’t really know her #not anymore. we stopped talking to each other (also because of me i stopped talking to her because i felt horrible because i couldn’t make #that happen) and i think that’s what hurts me the most. i will always love her #and i don’t know english btw this is redacted like shit
