#LIKE THATS THE POINT

[oifaaa]

Fans when men are irredeemable: omg so hot

"Fans" when woman does something even remotly bad: fuck you

as someone who only loves characters who have committed horrible crimes or are atleast morally grey I feel this in my bones

#ask #anon #this topic always gets me thinking about my queen rose quartz #bc when the show was coming out #me and a friend got into a big argument #bc after finding out everything she did #i decided she was my favourite character #and my friend couldnt understand why i liked such a fucked up character #like thats the point #also now im thinking about my sora lives au

yakou furio's character is so tragic to me. i wanna meme about how they used the fridged wife trope but other than that it's like. he lost his family and later all of his coworkers and just. existed alone for years.

looking at the state the submarine and especially his bedroom was in, with everything being a mess and all the cigarette butts in his bed, yakou was clearly depressed. he wouldn't even take on any interesting cases to fulfill his passion as a detective because he was so afraid of the peacekeepers. instead he just kept his head down. surviving but not actually living.

and then he finally gets some new detectives to work at his agency and the first thing he can do is fail to save most of them from dying horribly. but the five that yakou did manage to save latch onto him and he starts getting into a leader role! even if his new coworkers are all rowdy and get into trouble they still respect him as a leader and look up to him.

the detectives keep picking fights with the peacekeepers that yakou has been trying so hard to dodge. and usually the resolution is kind of messed up because the victims die but the detectives prove themselves capable of handling the peacekeepers! they're helping people! for the first time in a while, yakou comes toe to toe with peacekeepers willingly, to help his new friends. he realizes that he is able to stand up against amaterasu corp, with the help of the others.

but by the time he realizes this, the stage has already been set. the letter from yomi turned his grief into anger and a thirst for vengeance. although yomi gave him the information and opportunity, yakou was ultimately the one who chose to murder the man who murdered his wife.

yakou has already rebuilt his life after his wife's death. the detectives at his agency look up to him and he would do anything for them. it would never be the same as the life he had with his wife but yakou had the chance to turn over a new leaf with a new found family who cares about him.

but instead, yakou plans a murder. he needs to die, over and over, in order to access the man he wants to kill and he accepts it. he needs to trick two kids, who look up to him and who he cares for, into becoming his accomplices to the murder and he accepts it. in the wake of forcing his detectives to witness his murder, he needs leave them in a lab filled with peacekeepers who want to kill them and he accepts it.

and it's not that he doesn't care about his detectives. yuma and halara disobeyed his orders and assaulted several peacekeepers, and he was willing to be arrested himself before throwing his employees under the bus. yuma and fubuki were implicated in terrorism and yakou and the others solve the case for them, then prepare to fight an army of peacekeepers to protect yuma.

for his murder plan, yakou only needs desuhiko and fubuki's powers. but he brings halara and vivia along as well because they would be able to protect the two younger detectives and fight their way out of the lab after yakou dies. he enacts his plan on a day that yuma wasn't around because he won't be able to help fight peacekeepers, so it's better to just keep him out of this mess. he covers up his murder-suicide to protect his detective's feelings, but also because they would be implicated as his accomplices if his plan was revealed.

and yakou probably expected that the other detectives would be fine. if they'd left him behind to die, the other detectives probably would have been able to either fight their way out or hide out in the lab a bit longer and figured out a good plan to escape. if yakou had his way, he would have gotten his revenge and his detectives would have gone home grief-stricken, but unharmed and forever unaware of their roles in his death.

but yakou doesn't account for the fact that the other detectives would try to save his life. yuma doesn't run after the hitman and escape the peacekeepers, he stays behind to beg yomi to help yakou. fubuki uses up all her energy to rewind time to try to prevent yakou's death instead of helping the others escape the lab. halara, vivia, and desuhiko not only have to fight off peacekeepers, but they also have to carry yakou to a hiding spot to give first aid. and instead of calmly planning their next move, everyone is desperate to solve the case so there would be any chance of getting yakou to a hospital as quickly as possible.

one major theme of rain code is that despite tragedies that may have happened in the past, people can work together with those they care about to live a better life in the future. and yakou could have had that. his wife's death should have stayed in the past, and he should have continued to mentor the other detectives, solving mysteries together and enjoying each other's companies.

but yakou couldn't let the past stay in the past. he had every chance to not go through with his murder. he has new people he loves, but he manipulates them and puts them in danger in order to get back at the person who killed the last person he loved. his victory was a pyrrhic one. he got his revenge but in return, he destroyed himself and his detectives' trust in him. he enjoyed his revenge momentarily before dying and leaving his new family, who he used their love and trust for him to his advantage, to pick up the pieces.

yakou furio had lost everything in the past. but in trying to pursue it he destroyed everything he had in the present. that's the tragedy of his character to me.

#shut up pandora #rain code #master detective archives: rain code #yakou furio #character analysis #yakou is one of my favorite characters btw #hes a good person at his core though he fucked up #but also you dont have to be a good person to be a really good character which i think he is #this is @ ppl in youtube comments slamming on yakou for being stupid in chapter 4 btw #like thats the point #thats whats good about his character #would you have preferred if he were JUST a fun dad who gets fridged #thats fucking boring #we do nuance in this household and by household i mean my personal blog #but also what he did was pretty fucked up especially for the kids that he actually got involved #vivia was screaming crying throwing up bc it was a vivia chapter but i wanna see what fubuki's reaction was to the whole thing #bc man is she never gonna want to use her forte again #tragic anime dilfs will scar their kids for life in an elaborate and painful murder suicide instead of going to therapy #i like to acknowledge both sides of characters in general #but yeah while yakou was a really good mentor for the others at the agency and definitely loved them all very much #he put his want for revenge over his love for his found family #and died before he could reconcile to said found family about it

men criticizing the barbie movie for being ‘anti man’, is so funny to me, because the whole movie they are just treating the kens like women in men’s media/irl

#LIKE THEY GO “the way they are being so awful to the kens that’s so messed up who would do that” #THAT HAPPENS IRL TO AFAB PEOPLE ALL THE TIME #like that’s the point it is awful #but at the end the kens literally break out of the accessory stereotype and become just ken #like #that’s the point #and now they still have to work to accept men in barbieland and it’s messed up that they aren’t treated equal #LIKE THATS THE POINT #like how do they not piece that together that’s so funny #ALSO I JUST WATCHED THE MOVIE AND IT WAS SO GOOD 10/10 RECOMMEND #barbie #barbie spoilers #the barbie movie #the barbie movie spoilers #meg’s incoherent thoughts

people who write poetry are so powerful. i just tried writing a poem and took so much psychic damage that itll take a year for me to recover

Look, i know the homophobic-and-repressed-gay bully trope is bad.

but my god it can be so good if you GET it. if you UNDERSTAND.

It's the same sort of understanding when you're watching Hannibal and you're crying and bleeding for Hannigram. You know someone gets it and when someone doesnt get it. "They're toxic" thats the point. It's entertaining. It's hot. Why are you in my house.

I either love relationships like Morticia and Gomez or the fun toxic.

if its a toxic het couple, its pretty flop most of the time. why would i wanna watch marriage story, i already watched it unfold while quietly trying to finish my food at my friend's house. That's just life.

toxic gay couple, then that's just iconic. if you get it, you get it. killing eve, hannibal, leighton and I and Leighton. We're iconic toxic

can u tell ive already had some wine while im writing dol stuff?

i can

anyway, the h-a-r-g-b trope is great in the right hands, like whitney, if you play it right.

i have more thoughts when i have less red wine in my system

#DO YOU UNDERSTAND? #its the same kinda vibe where twitter fans of hotd say nooo its toxic #like thats the point #grrm and i are eating together and laughing at you #quincyeasyspeaky #i love a nice bit of gay rep #but i like entertaining gay rep #hannibal is iconic its a you problem if you dont like that he's a cannibal #dont be a flop #“it reflects real life” why do you use twitter #go back to watching blues clues JESUS

[warmdrpepper]

i hate that one image thats "i may be cring but youre mean and thats worse" bc i guarantee you the people calling u cringe dont give a fuck if theyre mean lmao

#like thats the point #they like being mean #you can scream and cry for people to be nicer until youre blue in the face but there will be people who just wont listen #lucien.png

Alright, theory time because I know how delightful it is to see people wandering in the dark and trying to make sense of everything. I make this post not because I have some good new theories. No, the Web is just eating away at me. Because there is some higher plan, there must be. They helped Jon along on his journey and how Elias can be so arrogant to believe that they just approved of his plan without it being just another step in their plan is beyond me. Or maybe I'm just paranoid. Anyway, the lighter. The damn lighter that's been haunting me since Jon got it in season one. There must be a point in the future where he has to burn something down. I don't know what, is it Elias? Is it the Archives? The tower itself? The tapes?! I don't know, but there must be something that has to burn and of course Jon has the lighter with him to do it (or is it Martin who has to use it...) Now the tapes. The tapes that are constantly on my mind as well. Were they just there to guide Jon? To show him which statements are relevant? He has some connection to them, because they acted as an anchor for him in the Buried. I'm absolutly sure the Web told Martin to stack them on top of the coffin. Will he need them as a reminder of his humanity at some point? Are they gonna be part of another ritual?? Is it just a way for the Web to observe Jon? I'm sure they need him for something. I'm sure that from the moment he was an eight year old boy with that Leitner in his hand the Web had their plans for him and never let him go. Do I know what the damn plan is? No! Maybe they were the good guys all along and just want Jon to reverse the apocalypse. It's killing me that I can't figure it out, but I'm so looking forward to the end where everything will make so much sense.

#im sorry sometimes i just have to ramble a bit #or a lot #this shit is always on my mind #the clever thing is the web is actually making me paranoid #like thats the point #thats what it wants #and i cant stop doing it #tma liveblog

being a gay catholic is so hard sometimes why am i out here sobbing over my rosary because one of the mother mary accounts i follow on instagram cuz i wanna see pretty pictures of my Mom just posted stuff about how homosexuality is a sin

#im pms-ing #but also #:( #i dont think my Mom hates me #right? #i think she will be happy for me when i find love #i dont think all this homophobia is what god or jesus or mary wants #or maybe im just a bad christian #or maybe there is no way to be a good christian without being a bad persob #or maybe that’s the point and we have to stay true to god’s will and reject the modern popular world #like thats the point #thats what all the cons are talking abt #when they say they follow jesus over whatever new leftist thing is happening #and thats the letter of the law to a t #but the spirit of the law #that’s how i try to live my life #love and peace and hope and joy #but. #lgbt #lgbt christian

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

#yes i want things to be free like ??? that is not a weird desire #'but but it costs money to keep up' ok and? how is that my problem #the government has plenty of murder dollars they could reallocate a few to make internet services universal if they wanted #also these companies were perfectly capable of supporting themselves before the internet got drowned with ads so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #edit: muting notifs on this post bc new additions have kind of petered out #so no one feel bad about adding something someone else has said‚ it is not bothering me im just trying to keep my #notifs page cleanish lol #also since i saw some people are being redirected to read my tags: firstly hiiiiii this is a special secret message for you:3 #secondly i have learned since making this that the reason they were able to support themselves previously was because #of investors bankrolling everything #and theyre now finally realizing that theyre never going to actually make a profit and arent as willing to invest #however thats just a minor correction and doesnt change my overall point #once again. so many murder dollars #so thats why im just adding it here in the tags rather than making an actual correction #anyways . love yall 💕 #origibberish #bigger gibbers

[oars]

#i feel like tge fact im apprehensive about posting this is kinda proving my point #the way everyone talks about both weight gain and weight loss is just horrendous #like idek if i could fit all i wanna say in here especially while im at work but #i so badly wish people could be normal about weight gain and talking about it #its like if youre not in some constant state of wanting to lose weight people want to kill you #god forbid you want to put on weight to feel more comfortable in your body outside of muscles and a butt #fatphobia is a given thats a whole other few paragraphs #im grateful i have mutuals and friends who are normal but ill have or hear these convos and go #ok i feel sick. why do i feel this way why do you feel that way. #anyways i think fatphobia is one of the worst things to ever happen

[theafrochick]

thinking about how 'she' is hittin like an insult again but nobodys gonna use 'it' for me anyway so whats the point.

#this is barring situations where i wouldn't bother correcting people but like #got hit with the 'im not using that' by the person i used to vague post about #and someone else had the follow up question of 'do you use anything else' #then on the trip i said my pronouns were it/they and lemme tell you i got the it once and it was followed by 'that feels dehumanizing' #like thats the point #idk bro i just gotta accept that im using neopronouns and they is the best ill get even if it does not spark joy #at least they doesn't usually leave me with vague disappointment at how i am perceived

I don’t have the capacity to be coherent right now but. this movie is so good

#nimona #nimona movie #nimona netflix #nimona 2023 #ballister boldheart #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister x ambrosius #goldenheart #ballister and nimona #I JUST. ITS SO MUCH #I saw that someone had made a post that was like ‘it was a mistake in nimona to show the brown guy turning on the trans girl’ but like. #THATS THE POINT #THE POINT IS THAT BOTH OF THEM ARE OSTRACIZED AND BOTH OF THEM ARE VILLAINIZED BY THE SYSTEM AND THE DIRECTOR #AND JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE PART OF ONE MINORITY GROUP DOESNT MEAN YOU ARE IMMUNE TO STEREOTYPING OR INTERNALIZED PHOBIA OF ANOTHER
