#Love her as collateral damage

[imminent-danger-came]

What are your least favorite lmk characters?

(lmk is one of the few shows where I think 'least favorite' is actually a fitting description. Most of the cast just have such fun and unique personalities, so it‘s pretty difficult to actively dislike any of them imo!)

(not counting cop out answers like the Goldfish Demon)

I‘ve sat here for an hour trying to figure out which characters I would pick myself. I‘ve genuinely never thought about it before, that‘s how GOOD this show is 😆

Like- the Host Girl low-key feels like cheating. (Again- I don‘t dislike her but she doesn’t really have a CANON personality. Everything about her is purely fanon and hinges on her being Macaque‘s generic cute daughter.)

Not sure if Mo counts either. He doesn’t really rise in the rankings through virtue of being a cat for me. Most of the time there just isn‘t much for him to do.

I physically CANNOT pick someone from the main cast or the brotherhood- that hurts just thinking about it. ALL WOMEN ARE QUEENS (I have soft spot for Chang‘e in particular!). And even the characters we’re supposed to dislike are such a blast on screen! The Mayor was so fun! And Lady Bone Demon? As a least favorite? NEVER.

I guess by process of elimination my least fav is Syntax? That‘s the closest to a reoccurring character I can get.

IDK. Maybe you have a character that comes to mind immediately 🤔

I'm going to argue that there is some interesting stuff with Mo, and I may sound the way the pepe silvia guy looks, but that's okay. Anyways, episode 2x03 shows Mo's devotion/loyalty to Sandy, which on it's own isn't really much, but it's the fact that Mo is the one to bring sandy back in 4x06. Pigsy's big heartfelt speech doesn't do the trick, but Mo giving Sandy unconditional love does. And boy, is there something there! Like, "You said it Mo! The world may be full of darkness, but to let the light shine, all we need to do is stand together!" Girl, what is going on between Mo and Sandy! Mo get's a pass from me not by virtue of being a cat (I'm actually a dog person, I got 4 puppies), but by virtue of loving Sandy. We have so much in common.

But yeah! There really isn't a character I dislike in this show. I love everyone a lot, and most characters, even if they don't have interesting stuff going on are a blast to watch on screen.

I'm someone who is legitimately a fan of the Jade Emperor because of his one cool speech and subsequent death on screen. "Heh. And I suppose you think that person is you? How is it you come to stand before me today Azure, was there a point where you questioned it? Or were you too oblivious with your own delusion to realize that you were a mere piece in someone else's game. You may try Azure, the throne will be yours, but if you think I'll gift it freely, you are mistaken." Coolest shit ever. Big fan.

But. And I'm sorry to everyone, but I'd say Jin and Yin are my least favorites. I know. The gold and silver demons everyone loves. Like, they're fine, they're entertaining, they have a lovely placeholder as a manifestation of a simpler time, but that's also just kinda all they are. And they don't need to be anything else! It just also solidifies them as my least favorites asdfadsf. I'm sorry boys.

#Their jokes are also some of the weakest in the show for me. I'm sorry. I wish it had been me instead #Syntax can stay because I like 2x01 #But I also feel like I can't count him since he's one of those cop out answers #Any of the spider goons are #(Except you Huntsman. Love you. Get some tea and realize that you're a piece in someone else's game and then die. <3) #Goliath isn't even a character asdfasdf sorry buddy #Host girl? I like her as a pawn piece. ''Destroy me and you destroy the host'' OOOOO YEASSS THE DRAMA #Love her as collateral damage #I also really love Chang'e. Oh my god 3x07 is such a heartfelt episode. Waaaa. I love Pigsy and I love Chang'e and life is cooking #I also really like Yellowtusk. I just do #Uhhhh every lmk character good #lmk #lego monkie kid #asks

The Hawthorne twins suffered more than Jesus

#mel's musings #dahlia hawthorne #iris hawthorne #local woman going feral over sister iris ace attorney for the 261478th time. more at 11 #aa #thinking about. how at one point they were the daughters of the fey clan's MAIN FAMILY #meaning one of them was in line to become master at some point #(i waffle on which one it was bc there's no clear answer in canon but if anyone else has thoughts do feel free to share) #imagine being in that position. and then discovering you have no spiritual powers #and everyone (including your own mother) starts treating you like shit for it. and you're too young to really understand why #and then your mom gets shown up by her younger sister which only makes things WORSE for all of you #and then said younger sister makes a mistake and disappears with no explanation #and your dad takes you away from everything you've ever known. and your mom is so broken and angry that she doesn't even fight it #nor make any effort to reunite with either of you again. and at this point. in a world that hates you and has cast you aside time and again #all you have is each other. no fucking wonder they went off the rails after that #they are both so desperate for love and agency over their own lives that they'll do ANYTHING to get there #and the collateral damage is an afterthought. GODDDD they make me so unwell i love them so so much

One thing I really really loved about Star Twinkle is how each of the villains had their own fighting style. Even the monster of the week concept was different depending on who was summoning it. I just think it's neat, I already miss it dkksksks

#rashi's rambles #star twinkle precure #like how both Tenjo and Kappard were the most 'general-like' since the both had armies but Tenjo relied more on numbers #and would turn the victim into one of her pawns and give them the power-up gear before transforming them #while Kappard would choose to use the transformation to power up himself instead #his team should unionize btw the amount of times some of them were hit as collateral damage ksksks no wonder Tenjo has more than him #and meanwhile Aiwarn and Garuouga are more solo acts but one will just straight up throw hands while the other relies on her inventions #which btw love how despite knowing first-hand what they can do if they malfunction Aiwarn puts her money where her mouth is #and will have no issue using them on herself when Bakenyan refuses to #idk I love these villains #alse the Notraiders have A LOT of OC potential I just know I would have gone ham if I had watched as it aired e

Anneke Wills as Fran Roeding, concerned daughter of a missing scientist, in The Saint: The Helpful Pirate (5.5, ITC, 1966)

#fave spotting #anneke wills #the saint #the helpful pirate #polly wright #doctor who #classic doctor who #itc #1966 #so while i noted on my last fave spotted post that Pat Troughton's 2nd Saint ep aired quite shortly before his DW debut‚ Anneke was #actually already in the middle of her (all too brief!) stint on the show. in fact this episode of The Saint aired in the uk the day before #Power of the Daleks episode 1. despite that‚ she isn't even the top billed woman in this ep; her character is more in the way of #collateral damage for plot reasons‚ with Erika Remberg getting the coveted guest star status as Saint girl #Remberg was briefly a leading lady in a few b movies and made a couple of tv spots on arrival in the UK (an Edgar Wallace‚ an episode of #Man of the World) but her career petered out eventually; Anneke on the other hand is still to be found doing the do on the Doctor Who #circuits and good for her (I've met her a couple of times‚ she's lovely). it's not the most rewarding part here but she does what she can #with an underwritten part. at the very least she doesn't suffer any indignities at the hands of Simon Spanker..

See I think the problem with stuff like Twilight, 50 Shades, The Notebook, etc is that I would be so much more in favor of these toxic, codependent relationships if both parties put equal effort into being horrible people. They’re all one-sided, you have one person who absolutely sucks as a person and then you have a long-suffering saint enduring the other’s abuse.

Heathcliff and Catherine are so perfect as a couple because they are both terrible people. Their romance is so sexy and compelling because they both suck. I so badly wanted them to be together and ruin each other’s lives not out of spite for them but because it just would have been such a narratively satisfying trainwreck. Those two hugged and kissed while ripping each other’s hair out and squeezing tight enough to leave bruises, it was awesome.

We need more romance like that. No one is doing it like them.

#oh yeah i saw the notebook and i hated it #that man did everything for her what did she do? #she did fuckall. #meanwhile heath and cathy BOTH did fuckall #i can't even complain that cathy married edgar instead cause like #soon as heath heard her say she would he just dipped? didn't even TRY to convince her otherwise? #they BOTH married someone else just to use and abuse them #they BOTH refused to confront their own feelings and just stewed in resentment #so they BOTH effectively made each other miserable and forced others to be collateral damage to that #i'm proud of them. we love a couple who puts in equal work into a toxic relationship!

“So in order for Morri to do favors, you have to give her something. Was I something that you gave for a favor?”

#critical role #cr lb #they really were on their hot girl shit that fight 😔💍 #imogearne #imogen constant stare at the camera every time her parents kept talking like #imogen gauging if fearne is hurt and fearne just quietly asks if she’s a bad person she must be right #her loving parents are telling her nothing is wrong so why does she feel so bad is she a bad daughter for not being happy to see them #and imogen just stands there overwhelmed with We Need To Get You Away From Them but also her own terrified helplessness for her role in this #talking to dangerous people who nonchalantly treat others as collateral damage and it’s disquietening and she just wanted to run from this #and really isn’t that what fearne is just doing every time she chooses to smile at her parents #i’d die for them two to take a watch so they can actually talk about this but that’s never gonna happen lol #ajlbc3 #e30

kendall hanging around logan's apartment... shiv hanging around her and tom's apartment... the parallels continue

The two central failma-

#but actually it is really interesting how these two relationships specifically drive the narrative #how shiv tries to emulate logan's style of loving but still ends up losing #and she becomes more like kendall as tom aligns more with logan against her #well not against her exactly #cos he is following the moves she suggested and she just happens to be collateral damage which she hadn't anticipated #or actually... maybe she had if 'my therapist was wrong and i was right' is any indication #i forgot my point but anyway. love as a burning house they've trapped each other in #tomshiv #kendall roy #logan roy #shiv roy #tom wambsgans #the roy family sickness #succ s4 previews #succession #wkole

I’d love to write a C$ fic based on Martina McBride’s song, “Independence Day”😏

#unfortunately Emma would have to be collateral damage though cause in the song the wife kills herself along with her abusive husband #it would be sad but I’d love to write it #Emma swan #anti CS #anti Captain swan #writing #anti Killian jones

my mom: I never remember to do things on time I'm such a worthless piece of shit LMAO

my aunt:

#I didn't want to imply that this was part of the same conversation #but I know my mom HAS expressed this sentiment in the past in the context of christmas cards specifically lol #how to express to my mom that her self loathing hurts other people even when she presents it as 'a joke' #anyway I screenshotted that 'if being hard on yourself worked it would have worked by now' for fb specifically to vague my mom lol #like I GET it you wanna self-flagellate a little to express to people your Issues have affected that you do know it sucks and you feel bad #but at some point you're just bumming everyone out if not causing collateral damage #it's a tough balance and I'm not good at it either but my mom is like this about. everything. constantly. it's tiresome #if you wanna start being better you have GOT to love yourself. you have to try #about me #posts from facebook #irl frens #(and family)

I am sitting my mom’s cat Rosalie this week and I am overwhelmed by her sweetness In six years she did some astonishing character growth from being terrified of people to requesting snuggletime under the blanket And I just recently realized how friggin old she must be?! She was at the shelter’s Seniors Section, and that was six years ago - No wonder she walks like a drunk camel and has only one tooth left

#senior animals #senior cats #cats #even if she was only medium old. let's say 12. then she's 18 now o-o #somewhen during the pandemic she had to have all other teeth pulled. which was a whole fight bc back then it was impossible to grab her #but her teeth were badly infected. her wobbly walk is due to collateral tooth rot damage. despite the severity and her age she recovered and #thx to no more pain she's doing better than ever. she's really having a Golden Winter of her life #I love my decrepit adopted sister<3 and i think she appreciates me too^-^ #rosalie #animals #following the fish
