#It sure is complicated lol

[skyloftian-nutcase]

Oof, I’m writing this and I’m realizing how complicated the whole situation is. The calamity for Ammon was a year ago and they won. Link is his son. The calamity was ten years ago for Tillieth and they lost, and Link is also her son.

Ammon is definitely not Abel and Tillieth is def not Sarah

I have… no idea how they’ll even figure this whole thing out 😭😭

Yeah, it’s very complicated for sure! They gotta get through layers of trust building first. Like I feel like Ammon would realize they’re on the plateau and recognize the destruction and be trying to figure out why this woman is the only one here and why the guardians haven’t been cleaned up and why everything is so decayed. And Til is trying to figure out who the heck this guy is, how he got on the plateau, what he was doing in her bed, where Abel is, and what state the shrine is in.

Til first needs to know that Ammon isn’t a threat, and Ammon probably has to start there before he can get answers. But the good thing is Til is more trusting than Abel, so she might honestly believe him with as bewildered and unsettled as he’s likely to be.

#you ask skye answers #lovely smiles #It sure is complicated lol #They have so much to parse out but they have to start with #Til: is this person safe because my priority is keeping Link safe and my main protection and steadiness (Abel) is missing #Ammon: is this some strange magic why is the plateau like it was during the calamity and where is everyone and I should help this woman #And they’d both be wondering how Ammon ended up in Til’s bed lol #dads switcheroo

girl experiences gender euphoria and is immediately slammed by grief

for @litttlittt <3. this was supposed to be a portrait of caroline hill, but litta mentioned tim looking like janet when dressed as caroline and identity issues and angst and things spiraled

something about tim not knowing if he's his mother's child or bruce's or neither's.

figuring out the looks:

i wanted janet to have that poofy 70s hair

#tim drake #dc #bruce wayne #janet drake #sart #i'm picturing this as transfemme tim hence “he” and also compounding issues about bruce treating him as a daughter #which is exactly the gender validation tim wants and needs but isnt sure he deserves #but this also definitely works for trans tim #she gets to process that she looks like her mom!! and her mom will never get to know her daughter #would she have wanted to know her daughter? even though she showered tim with love when she was around #she barely knew her son #gender idk he's a girl 👍 hope that helps #i went down a rabbit hole looking up vintage dior necklaces -- hopefully something martha wayne wouldve worn #-- but dior necklaces are COMPLICATED #i almost drew pearls but i think that wouldve been too cruel to bruce lol #(a decent amount of my art--even when it's not femme tim--gets tagged 'gender' and i dont know what im going but im glad 👍)

"Sansa bullied Arya? Oh so you think she's worse than Tywin Lannister, Gregor Clegane and Ramsay Bolton??" is such a hyperbolic, insincere and ultimately non-existent argument. Literally name one person who says this shit with any sort of sincerity, if at all lol

This is up there with "Talking about Arya's importance to the North means you think Jeyne Poole's life doesn't matter!!!" in terms of disningenous talking points.

It's only ever used to shut down any attempts at considering Arya's feelings and well-being when discussing the girls' relationship.

and no offense, but why are 🫵 YOU🫵 equating the acknowledgement of a fictional child's flaws with calling her a war criminal? why are you treating it like that?? 👀👀👀

I mean, this fandom regularly says Arya lacks morality for surviving war zones with violence. They consider her a walking tragedy whose story is about losing her humanity and becoming the ultimate killing machine. Everyday Dany gets called a N@zi Barbie for not abolishing slavery perfectly. But Sansa gets clocked as a mean girl bully in the first book and y'all fall apart at the seams at that?? C'mon now

#arya stark #and when it comes to the whole “the adults enabled it!!!” ok sure! but sansa still participated in it #especially when the adults weren't there! #sansa wasn't taught to compare her sister to a horse or victim blame arya for joffrey's abuse and mycah for his own murder #which adult is to blame for her telling arya that she'll have to bow down to her for speaking the truth about the trident incident? #septa mordane didn't teach her to say any of that shit lol #and if sansa is allowed to own her kindness wit and bravery #then she's also allowed to own her negative traits as well #it's not complicated and she's not a monster for it!

[antianakin]

I read your disagreement on this popular sentiment that "The Jedi Were Flawed" and I couldn't agree more with your disagreement. The Jedi are not the problem in the galaxy. It's everybody else: the Sith for plotting a revenge conspiracy for 1,000 years, the Republic for being plagued with corruption in which the Sith had a hand in (but not all Republic senators were corrupt), the Mandalorians for being warmongering a-holes, the Hutts and other crime syndicates who terrorize innocent people, the Separatists for making problems worse by starting a war with the Republic, the Empire for bringing tyranny upon the galaxy, and if you're an EU fan, the Yuuzhan Vong for starting an unprovoked war against the galaxy that causes the deaths of TRILLIONS of people!

That post came about almost as a reaction to pro Jedi people constantly talking about how OF COURSE the Jedi were flawed all the time and how annoying I find it more than anything else lol. It's very annoying to have to keep seeing posts by people who I know do LIKE the Jedi talking about how flawed they are, how they make mistakes, blah blah blah.

I've had people ask me why the sentiment of "the Jedi were flawed" can't co-exist with the sentiment of "the Jedi were RIGHT" or "the Jedi did nothing wrong" and, to me, it's not that they can't coexist in a more general sense, but they don't coexist NARRATIVELY to me. "The Jedi were flawed" is just a bullshit statement because the entire point of the narrative is that the Jedi were RIGHT. So what does it add to that particular theme and storyline to insist that the Jedi were flawed all the time, or that they made mistakes? How does it add to the message about being selfless and compassionate to insist that the characters who are in the story specifically to showcase why it's important to be selfless and compassionate are in fact also flawed and make mistakes?

It ALSO bothers me because the people who most often say it are the ones who mean "the Jedi were flawed" as "the Jedi deserved what they got" or "the Jedi were wrong the whole time" or "the Jedi should've changed their entire culture to accommodate one person" or "it was the Jedi's fault that everything bad in the galaxy happened." So when fans who LIKE the Jedi and don't actually believe any of that continue to insist "OF COURSE I believe the Jedi are flawed" it just smacks of desperation, of trying to appease these other fans who will never change their minds. Why bother trying to insist on a middle ground when what they mean by "the Jedi are flawed" is not the same as what a real Jedi fan means by it? What does it add to try to find a middle ground with someone whose interpretation is so completely the opposite of your own? Why bother?

So yeah. I never say the Jedi were flawed because I don't find it a particularly useful way to analyze the story or the Jedi's position within it. The Jedi were right, the Jedi are always right, and it's not honestly any more complicated than that.

#star wars #jedi #pro jedi #this doesn't mean the INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERS can't be more complicated necessarily #like is obi-wan a well-rounded character with flaws? yes #is yoda a well-rounded character with flaws? yes #is mace a character who occasionally makes mistakes? sure #but none of this means that the JEDI AS A WHOLE - the jedi as a group within the narrative - are flawed #the JEDI are always right #the individual characters are sometimes flawed #oh wow just realized that is literally the opposite of when some people love indiv jedi but keep saying the order is flawed lol #nah mates if you loved them you'd see it's the opposite way around #the individual PEOPLE are flawed but the order never is #the order is a symbol of compassion and selflessness and light #obi-wan is occasionally an arrogant little bitch tho

alrighty so managed to do the knock out minthara recruitment but it took me three tries because it's not at all as simple as it sounds. gonna post exactly how i did it because having it not work three times killed me

speak to halsin to get the kill the goblin leaders quest. don't get him to accompany you. id already killed gut by this point so i don't think she makes a difference.

turn on non-lethal damage. attack the guard next to minthara to get the -attitude. knock her out and deal with any other goblins that rush in.

kill ragzlin before a long rest. deal with any goblins that rush in.

long rest in the room you find ragzlin in. use free camera or w/e it's called to check that minthara is up and about in the other room. she should be up and on full health.

fast travel to the emerald grove environs and speak to zevlor, without telling halsin you've killed the leaders. he'll tell you halsins shown up already.

i went straight to the tieflings party in that convo, went to the shadowlands through the underdark, met the harpers, ran to the convo to kill the drider and get the lantern and straight to moonrise to find minthara. she was there when i did all the above steps.

there's probably other ways to do it and I don't know exactly what it was about this one that worked, but I think it's to do with making sure you kill ragzlin after knocking her out but before you long rest, because the time i long rested in between she didn't show up in moonrise.

#minthara #minthara baenre #baldur's gate 3 #baldurs gate 3 spoilers #bg3 spoilers #im sure theres other guides but. figured id post anyway #insane that its this complicated lol

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah stop with the “ I’m gonna kill myself” jokes stop ! it’s the whole don’t make self deprecating jokes thing except worse ! just bc you abbreviate it doesn’t make it better it’s hard to respond to what do you want me to say do you want me to call suicide hotline then ?? depression and mental health is hard and coping is hard you make jokes about it but sometimes !! the things you joke about are real and can affect people and I’m tired of it just being thrown around so casually

#I wanted to write this more eloquently lol #i don’t knowwwwww #this is mostly just a frustrated at my friend #like you gotta just ignore it ig in conversation ?? #like I know it’s a complicated thing I know most people saying that genuinely do feel like that!! #which is why it’s hard to see thrown around I want to care about people #so when you joke about it it’s hard to know when it’s serious or not #maybe I just take it too much to heart but I feel like I’ve seen a re #*resurgence in people joking like this and it makes me uncomfy #and is this the internet do I need to be more casual maybe sure #but maybe remember that a dumb joke can be more serious #aaaaaaahhhh people know all this I’m just frustrated

do you think jay panics to zane if he gets strep throat because he knows about the potential for rheumatic fever if he doesn't take care of it as soon as he possibly can

#context: i have a sore throat which may or may not be strep #im gonna try to convince my dad to take me to urgent care to get it tested because strep is something you should have treated #rheumatic fever does not sound like a fun complication lol #if you have a sore throat please make sure its not strep so you can get some antibiotics to reduce the chances of complications #ANYWAY #lego ninjago #ninjago #ninjago jay #jay walker

#finn's ocs #finn's art #oc references #YAY finally posted them #the smart guys set.... #i was excited for this set regardless bc they all have their own like specific reasons theyre in the scholars guild #like different things theyre following. except for arguably talitha but shes like. a baby #shes more geeky than nerdy. but she would hang out in their huge library a lot and just sort of ended up joining #mercury herself is obviously the leader but her thing is moreso about spreading the message of the previous guildmaster (minerva) #while keid is more of a philosopher (so good at rumination might as well make a passion of it lol) #and like i said alasia is an archeologist (and historian!). and i describe navi as a blacksmith bc thats the title theyd be given- #but hes more of an engineer. doing cool new innovative things. so they and alasia have this sort of future/past passion thing #dimidium is a medic lol but bc of the way her power works its a bit more complicated #when i say reverse healing i mean he can literally just make you worse. Injury Power. #misam is like the edgiest of the batch for sure but dont be fooled theyre still more nerd than edgelord #the reason they can be so ruthless is because theyre very calculative about their choices #not in the same overthinking-type way keid is but in the sense that they can be a bit... ends justify the means? #not that they dont care about ethics at all but unlike keid they wouldnt get caught up in them #the most direct approach is the best one and all that. theyre a utilitarian. #(misams top was also more risque at first but i decided to have them button up a bit lol) #and perwana is an acolyte (aco-light. lol) in the sense that her goal really is just to spread knowledge #shes the most similar to mercury in that sense which makes her probably the first candidate for the next guildmaster rn #bc thats also the thesis statement of the guild itself! #they have a big open library for a reason. well. mostly open #but thats them :)

"how can you be an animorphs fan and support Israel?"

I don't know, how CAN I be the fan of a book series talking about kids being forced to grow up too fast due to being a part of a war that has been going on for longer than they're alive, trying to defend their home against an invading force?

Seeing how this situation affects their mental state, world view and relationships with each other? Not being able to fully trust anyone else because they can turn out to secretly wish for your demise?

How can I be the fan of a series that mirrors the way I grew up, of feeling scared and lost and small but knowing that you have to keep going because there's no other way?

Knowing that the other side has people who are like you, who never really wanted to hurt anyone but are being forced to fight too, who were brainwashed from birth to not see people like you as people?

Knowing that innocents die in war, that cruel, messed up, unjust things happen in wars but not seeing another way forward?

Wanting to save your loved ones who are now being kept hostages?

YEAH I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I, AN ISRAELI PERSON, BE AN ANIMORPHS FAN?

#animorphs: there's no black and white but sometimes you have to fight to protect the people you love #people on tumblr: ISRAEL BAD PALESTINE GOOD #Hey remember how every time the animorphs kill a hork bajir controller #they kill both an innocent hork bajir hostage and a yeerk that is threatened with starvation by their superiors if they won't fight? #remember how most taxxons only agreed to collaborate with the yeerks because they feel like being puppets is better than constant hunger? #remember how Serrow only wanted to do something good but ended up causing an intergalactic war? #remember how as early as book 6 Jake didn't blink before boiling alive dozens of helpless yeerks? #remember how the Howelrs who exterminated countless species were merely toddlers playing controlled by a higher being? #REMEMBER HOW ANIMORPHS IS A FUCKING COMPLICATED BOOK SERIES AND EVEN OUR HEROES COMMITED ATROCITIES THAT HAUNTED THEM EVERY DAY? #AND HOW WE STILL ROOTED FOR THEM BECAUSE WE KNEW WHY THEY DID THIS AND WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM? #HOW MOST OF THEIR ATROCITIES WEREN'T JUST KILLING FOR THE SAKE OF KILLING? #Unlike you know #what Hamas is doing #killing for the sake of killing #sacrificing their own people in the process #brainwashing and treathening their population #Remember how the war is actually a chess game between two larger entities that use everyone else as a peon for the war between themselves? #Hm now that surely sounds familiar #Imagine thinking that a fictional war in a book series for kids is more complicated and morally grey than one in real life #And that you can know everything about it from Twitter and tik tock #Couldn't be me lol
