#I know where that road leads!

[the-cooler-king]

The thought of explaining to my mom at some point that I'm moving in with this guy I met at work (that I don't talk to her about because.... wait for it) because her immediate reaction will be that we're fucking, dating, whatever and that I'm stupid to do this (like she did) and I'm especially worried about the moment she discover he has kids because she has always maintained I am "confused" and that I would end up with a man and be normal. What a thought to get out. That's probably why I have a headache

#Yeah I live with my mom but by no means do I tell her anything important #I know where that road leads! #And like I told him yesterday - I don't make moves without really taking my sweet time with it #I wouldn't say yes to being room mates (we r room mates first and whatever else second) #If I didn't already trust his character. Mans just wants to take care of his kids and relax #I can relate. #I'm thinking way too much about way too many things. Ibuprofen and sleep #Now that I'm further in the tags #One of my favorite things about him and our relationship... whatever it is.... is that it makes me want to be a better person #For both of us individually. I told him I was going to sleep a while ago #I could stay up. But I essentially promised I wouldn't #and I am not in the business of breaking promises or lying to him #So it's a nice way to really actually hold myself responsible.

something about qbad mentioning how much horror he put red team thru every time purgatory gets brought up... something about how proud dapper was of him.

like this is just my late-night read but- it feels like guilt qbad is trying to twist into pride. he keeps needling away at it. “i killed them all, over and over and over again.” “they were hunted by a monster.”

it’s like- reassurance. like a nail he’s trying o beat into his head. he’s had SO much trouble with legitimately hurting his friends, despite making that vow all the way back when the eggs first went missing, despite all the tree talk and the promises to save the kids no matter what. He never faltered with elq, and that protected them. He keeps faltering now. Sometimes he doesnt remember the code, or cucurucho, or skeppy. But that doesnt matter, right? Because he’ll protect the eggs. He’ll be the monster. he is the monster. he can and he will protect them even as his seams start ripping and he keeps breaking further and further apart. even at his worst, he’ll do whatever he needs to protect the eggs.

he’ll be the monster. wont he?

#qsmp #he loves his friends and he wants to hurt them #he loves his friends and he doesnt want to hurt them #qsmp badboyhalo #ita like. He was torturing himself with the soul vultures because he kidnapped ron and threw down some scary magma mobs #and then forever changwd rhe whole fuckin narrative with that appreciation room and bad remembered the joy of community #and then cellbit. Where bad was like ‘i see him destroying himself to get the eggs back and i know where that road goes’ #’his loved ones dont want that to happen to him. i dont want that to happen to him’ #and then purgatory gave him the first actal legitimate lead for finding their kids and he just had to get worse #and so he fucking swandived into self destructive violence (and the cc was purposefully playing qbad more recklessly violent) #(bbgirl couldve been lured into a trap so so easily) #ive lost my point somewhere now im just rotating qbbh in my brain and all the parallels #ah yes. But now theyre out of purgatory. And he refuses to regret what he did because he *had* to do what he could to save dapper #and the other eggs #because he has a huge complex about being the ‘only one who can protect the eggs’ because of a thousand little cuts and his mental health #issues. Like he’s Wrong bur its such a fascinating little direction for his character. Yes king burn thyself on the pure of protection #and then burn in a nuclear blast too because your self sufficiency left you to care for your egg alone #you can take care of the eggs. you can hurt your friends. look at how much you hurt your friends #look st the monster you are . your teeth are sharp and your claws are large #never mind that time you sent tina into a panic attack because you tried to recreate safety #never mind that your friends and family are worried about you #you are falling apart. but so many monsters survive the killing blow

i feel like people r taking it for granted that jon and martin are still alive in the computer but idk i think it would be kind of fun if they were totally soulless instruments of the Web. or whatever the new equivalent of the Web is because i'm team "the entities changed when they entered the new world". but in general it's possible that it only sounds like jon but isn't really. don't you remember? they took his voice one before. they could take it again

#i just feel like it would be really shitty if jon and martin were actually influencing someone to investigate the magnus institute #bc they KNOW where that road leads. they know that sticking your nose places you shouldn't leads to death and tragedy and ruin #and if they were intentionally leading an innocent man down that road... that just means they learned nothing #lest we forget this is a horror podcast! and well. wouldnt it be horrible if they were hollowed out and puppeted around :) #tmagp #tmagp spoilers #tma spoilers #also once again saying that 'we took his voice' is the most bone-chilling line in the whole of tma #i wrote a long meta about it before. still believe it

It’s always funny to me when I have the same reactions as Dante and I never feel closer to them than when I am just playing with my vision of this weird reunion of outcasts as a big and loveable found family, only to see that vision crumbled down and challenged every canto by a sinner or Vergilius who exclaims loud and clear and often vehemently that it will never be anything more than a employer / employee relationship.

At those moments I react exactly like Dante when they are like: « Maybe I am the only one who thought we were sharing something together ? Maybe all the sinners are only here for their own goals ? Maybe they would never want to make an effort to create a meaninful relationship between each others ? Was I a fool to believe that this was the start of a friendship … that we could have developpe a bond more or less deep, a feeling of belonging … that we could have been a family. »

First there is the pain of having your hopes shattered but then that doesn’t stop us to continue hoping for it to happen.

We are just two big delulu people

#limbus company #dante #canto V spoilers #I guess #I mean I know the story is probably going to go on the found family road #but since it’s project moon I can’t help but feel I am being delulu when I am faced with moments like that #because I fear they are just going to put us through suffering #and also maybe because some don't feel worthy to have this sort of relationship again #and that those moments are like a reminder to stay aware of the fact that maybe this is not going to end as a big happy family ... #but that's just a possibility ! #there is also the possibility that through this journey they WILL developp this kind of bond #and I mean the best found family are the one where they have to go through stuff together to get there #it's about living things and overcoming together #so I understand why Dante won't stop believing that a deeper relationship can bloom from this #and maybe I am delulu but #for me those moments are just hardships that are on the road which lead to something better and I mean #that's normal since this is a story where characters have to grow and it would be stupid to except the sinners and Dante #to become so close so fast #this is the endgame #and we already have the proof of that possible end with Yi Sang #Yi Sang is ready to create a new kind of bond with Dante and the sinners #he is ready to have what he had once with his previous comrades #because yes the problem is also that all the sinner are hurting deep inside and I have learned that it was better to stay alone #because caring for someone maked them suffered and now they don't want to start a new relationship where they could hurt again #better being alone that being the only one alive and being the one who has to remember and carry on #gosh I ended up talking a lot in the tags #Yi Sang is the best

its a unique kind of pain when you get really into something with a small fanbase and not much recent fanart, and you find a really cool piece from a really good artist and you just love how they interpret and draw the characters and you're obsessed with it and you can't wait to see what else they have in store, but then you go to their blog and you realize that the drawing was just a one-off 'i watched this show (etc.) recently and thought it was kinda cool" and they're very unlikely to make anything else for it again

#in general being into superhero comics it's so. it's sketchy out there #and it's like i don't know WHERE to go. where do i look? where is it safe? #it's one of those things where the source material and the fanbase is so big that its super diluted and spread out all over the place #there are factions. i'm likely to stumble into enemy territory. i'm absolutely going to walk face first into untagged x reader smut. #i walk into a bar searching for water and all the usual patrons turn their heads staring daggers at me #so i wander down the dusty road sunburnt and dehydrated just looking for a place to lie my head down for the night #and i meet a man on the street corner selling some beautiful pieces or original art and i say #good day to you sir my what fine work you've got there! #and he takes me by the hand and he says #come with me. i know a place #and so he leads me down an alley back round behind the inn (no vacancies) and he takes me to a door #and there's a staircase that leads to a room down under the old inn and i step inside and there's a group of 10 or so people #engaging in a lively discussion around a table and they look at at me- this newcomer- and welcome me like an old friend #and its beautiful #...huh?

[dennisboobs]

ok at the point now where looking at an image of dennis makes me want to smash my head through a wall

#ada speaks #idk how ppl exist in this fandom who don't feel bad for him tbh #which is the last thing den wants bc being perceived as weak and pitiable is devastating to him but #chasing this mfer down to give him a hug #he is so. fucked up. he has been fucked up by every adult in his life. #i think the fandom perceives him as this spoiled rich kid who had it better than most of the gang but the reality is #he was failed just like the rest of them and it's almost worse because he doesn't – and almost CAN'T – recognize this #letting the protective ego-boosting and boasting drop leads to him having to confront SO much baggage and i don't think he is mentally able #i think he DOES know deep down that everything is a lie and he has been hurt because we see that self awareness in ptsdee and tends bar #but his relationship with everyone in the gang is so strained that i don't think he would be able to have a moment like charlie did in s15 #even in tends bar there's a moment where they all recognize something is going on with him but immediately place him at the center #because he's the problem with him. anything done to him is his fault. it's not only something he reinforces. the gang does too #this must be because *dennis* has no feelings and he hates valentines day because everyone else is unlike him which makes *him* mad #the entire gang has an issue placing blame on themselves but to not even be able to conceive of dennis being hurt by them is. telling #because he's inhuman to them. it's how he's propped himself up and yet simultaneously hopes that they will see through that act #the way he reworks things in his mind so that everything is a consequence of his grand plan #means that he is always at fault regardless of whether he brushes the blame off #so he is not a *victim* of anyone else. because this was all under his control. he wasn't raped because he was initiating it. #klinsky was His Conquest. he was fourteen and she was in her fifties but he forced himself on her so that makes it His Fault. #it was a two way road. he's fourteen. and he 'entered' her. he's fourteen. but she was uncomfortable with his advances. but he was fourteen #cw csa mention

just like imagine crowley gets in the car hoping to turn on some nice soothing music and then it's good old fashioned lover boy. he skips it. it's you're my best friend. he skips it. it's another bites the dust. he skips it. it's fat bottomed girls. it's we are the champions. he skips it. it's i want to break free. he skips it, he's starting to tear up, he's remembering when they could laugh together, when they could just... be. it's somebody to love. he's fully crying now. he switches the cd. it's a nightengale sang in berkley square.

#idk something something all roads lead back to aziraphale #good old fashioned lover boy because that's how the season starts and he listens to it when he's going to see aziraphale #you're my best friend was in the fire scene i think. another one bites the dust through i want to break free were from the book #like there was a scene where they were driving and listening to queen on the way to the hospital #i don't think it was all in the show but it was cute #and then somebody to love was also the bookshop obviously #and you all know the last one :) #good omens #good omens season 2 #go s2 #go spoilers #good omens spoilers #tee hee

jayce and viktor are so glinda and elphaba actually

[wendybergmann]

I mean, kendall definitely killed himself immediately after the scene

I wouldn't say so. I feel like it was shot to symbolize kendall being haunted by what he's done and how in the end, none of it ever really mattered, and having to live in that. kendall lost his kids, his ex wife, jess, and his siblings in an effort to end up at the top only for shiv "the shiv" roy to stab him in the back. he has colin as his shadow as a reminder of the kid he killed (no matter how he tried to pretend he didnt) and the sea ahead, fenced off, barring him from cleansing himself of his sins and transgressions. he has tried to recreate himself in his father's image and in a sense, symbolically killed himself in the process, but he's twin track: dead but alive

#succession #succession spoilers #kendall roy #ask #anonymous #did i think he could die? yes but i feel like they would have shot something else #instead they continued with the water motif but had it barred from him accessing it #there is no coming back from this and he has to live in that #i dont know where his road will lead and i feel like it was left open for a reason but as a kendall girl i am chosing to believe #its for the best and he is finally out. hed never break the cycle but he was forced out in a way #to send this about my number one boy... you're lucky i had eaten my looney cake

Are you the soldier, poet, or king?

The Soldier

"There will come a soldier / Who carries a mighty sword / He will tear your city down". Righteousness. Strength. Violence. You see a door and break through it. You wonder, sometimes, if anger is the only thing you can feel. Remember : love is passion too. You made your own rules and will follow them to death. You try and forget that there is only one rule, and that it is "FIGHT". You are tired of fighting. You try to forget that, too, and keep going. You dream of quiet. Your love is where you heal. God knows you deserve to. (Really. You deserve to.)

And pretty accurate overall too if you just squint at some parts? #A few of them are moreso talking about the troupe rather than Shal on his own (like ''violence'' & the starting quote) #99% of the time he won't go out of his way to cause destruction or be violent on his own; it's mainly smth he does For and With the troupe #but in that sense it's still v fitting bc we all Saw how a chunk of Yorknew City went down in flames & Shal was part of the reason why #Then the rest are about himself; some post-revival (the anger bit) & some in general (righteousness; self-imposed rules & love healing) #For rules; we know the spider made up their own & each of them sticks to those rules no matter what - Shal being no exception #As for love; in this context it encompasses p much anyone he cares about? like yeah Feitan for Sure but I see it as the ENTIRE troupe too #Shal would've been far worse off emotionally than he is rn if he didn't have his friends by his side for most of his life #And lastly the parts where he dreams of quiet / is tired of fighting... he doesn't pay it much mind bc it's how they grew up #there's no different road for them to take & tbh there hasn't been one for decades - and he's perfectly fine w that now #but at the same time he's far more of the nerdy type than the fighting type so he Would prefer to read or smth over some crimes they commit #All in all Shal's very content w the life he leads so any complaints he may have are incredibly minor/don't matter to him in the long run

“your choices don’t matter”

yeah ok sure maybe this is true as far as the end result is concerned, like whether Lancer sided with his friends and let them seal the fountain which sustained the only world he really knew or sided with his father to allow the world to then be slowly engulfed in darkness-both options result in the ‘end’ of that world (meaning the dark world in the classroom). He made the choice himself and yet the ‘end’ came anyways.

But I’m like 90% confident if you asked him I’d know which timeline he’d rather be in.

#been thinking about this lately #i think this is an interpretation of the beginning of ch2 for me like #no matter what ending you get in ch1 you end up in the same spot in ch2 (same exact intro too until the patch was released) #but you have a timeline where the circumstances leading up to that same event are wildly different #and though it hasn’t manifested in super relevant ways (outside of Snowgrave) it’s still worth noting the potential differences #i mean I play favorites here so #would a lancer who never actually successfully rallied a mob against his father have the confidence to withstand his manipulation? #would he ever lie awake in a room that isn’t quite his and wonder if maybe spade was right? #of course you’d never know since you’re never given the chance to ask #do the card castle people still harbor a resentment towards you for fighting or killing them even though it’s brushed off in ch2? #like obviously yeah in within the context of their world but for us for the game I wonder how much of this will actually #(if ever) #come into play despite it all leading to the same place (just wildly WILDLY different roads taken to get there) #deltarune #lancer deltarune #just some thoughts yknow do with them as you please #your actions matter bc they affect the ppl around you directly but some choices don’t bc the inevitable unknown always occurs #little can be done to circumvent what is predestined it’s like knowing the ending to a show you’ve never watched any other part of #like yeah I know how it ends but how do we get there ends up being way more significant thematically
