#Standing Together We Can Do Anything

[termagax]

u know at the beginning i kind of thought kfp4 was gonna do something with shifus whole. deal. but they didnt like at all which is a shame

#the plot was extreeeemely thin and formulaic as it stands imo #kind of held together by the strength of the action sequences which i liked #but idk it just felt weird that po said an objectively correct thing (why isnt shifu the spiritual leader hes clearly better at it #) and i kind of expected that shifu would have something to do where he learns not to be so. idk #i guess faith in his own judgement rather than like. just kind of Accepting His Destiny or whatever. they make gags about how #hes clearly kind of upset about this whole thing #especially with tai lung having a speaking role its just like. well i wish shifu was here so you guys could talk this out #given how the idea of destiny kind of shapes their worldviews #i think what i wouldve done is a destiny is not so set in stone thing #bring shifu on the quest but when po has his vision he sees zhen betray him and decides to trust her anyways while shifu advises against it #because The Universe Said So and po is like what if..the universe is wrong. or what if we can change its mind :D she seems like a good kid #maybe she just needs some good influences :D and shifu is like -'_- thats fucking stupid po <- thinking abt his shitty son #and maybeeee they could even have tai lung be more involved in the latter half because his dad is here. and they can talk #idk i dont know if this is anything i just kind of wish the movie was giving More

Man I can't wait until I can recover alone for a while

#I was alone in my apartment today and put together a standing clotheshanger shoerack combo #and it was actually so nice to do stuff and NOT receive verbal feedback I didn't ask for #I actually HATE when I start to do things wrong and immediately there's an audible no no no #it makes me feel like I Have to be on top of things and do them right immediately so everyone can be silent to me about it #trying to navigate life without triggering an unskippable cutscene as it were #if I do it on my own I will find out I'm going about it the wrong way soon enough #and I'll correct it #no nitpicking needed just using my time and brain to find a solution #it makes me feel so much better about myself #I'm already starting to see why I've always felt so incapable and inadequate. I can tell I really need this #I'm really curious what else I can do now that I'm allowed to figure it out in silence #more than ever reaffirmed that auditory is my quickest sense to wear me out/overstimulate #which is why reveiving verbal feedback I have to interpret makes me want to fly into a rage sometimes #because I NEVER get enough time to figure it out. they see me not change my course of action immediately and they take it out of my hands #it feels so. crowded and like nothing is in my control #give me time. give me space to breathe. let me make a mistake and understand firsthand why it's a mistake #please please please stop narrating everything to me. please. can we be quiet for a while. #you can sit with me but please don't tell me anything. #bien rambles

i will simply by virtue of who i am read aromanticism into things, but mash really does make it astonishingly easy for me

#MASH #if we're looking at the romantic relationships id say klinger and soon-lee #have most everyone else beat #if not everyone -- klinger himself is also just (imo) the most romantic character both in terms of how he views romance #and how the narrative offers him to embody romance-as-theme #potter and mildred is very sweet and has that *we've been together for so long we simply know the beats of one another* thing #but is also a relationship in which one of the parties spent several years going to different wars and practising army medicine #(this is subjective but the *I cheated on mildred confession* -- I choose to ignore it... I simply don't think it works/does anything) #(and without that there's already so much to unpack in their relationship to one another) #next in line id say bj and peg and that is... interesting........ he cheats on her once and considers leaving her another time #this could be read many ways but i choose to believe that those situations wouldnt have happened if he hadn't been drafted #but they did happen + the jealousy plots + some of the overbearing ways he treated hawkeye #(again last of those can choose to relate or not to relate to his marriage i choose to relate them) + general lashing out #but i do currently fall in the place of reading that relationship as coming out of love and them trying their best #then we've got henry and trapper who I think like their wives (but to varying degrees also bad-mouth them + cheat on them) #and will also say there that apart from the one scene with flagg there don't seem to be indications that they cheated outside the war either #(i say this -- i could be misremembering -- it seemed like the three-night-stand with trapper lady was before his marriage?) #(anyway we're newish fans here there could be things ive forgotten) #then we've got frank burns and... *i happen to believe in the sanctity of marriage no matter how ugly or disgusting it gets* #(paraphrased but you get the picture) #now for the ones who don't end the narrative with romantic partners: mulcahy charles hawkeye margaret radar #mulcahy is never given a *what if romance were to make you doubt yourself as a priest* narrative and am pretty glad of that #his tension gets to be more complicated without that imo #charles has a couple of romance-ish arcs that are snuffed out (the un-wedding is... very interesting very aromantic vibes) #+ him and his Responsibilities which is about the most unromantic way of looking at it as you can get (also strong ace vibes) #radar is slightly trickier in that he's in that odd space of being considered adolescent but then also not and loses his virginity 100 times #he seems to want a partner but although the conversation with the nurse in his last outing is sweet he's noticeably on that front #not fully *allowed* to just... grow up -- recognises that as a problematic phrasing on purpose because i feel like with radar #sex and romance is often tied to the idea of adulthood... i like seeing him as aroace and the space is there for it for sure! #(redefining adulthood for himself?)

you only do the things you do for me out of obligation

#that's the difference between you and me. #u do something to help me and only stay as long as you need to and do just enough for u to check it off as task completed #and then u leave. always. #you don't actually enjoy spending time with me or anything. you just want to makd sure i stay alive #and it's frustrating because it just makes me feel guilty and shitty and want him to stop it and leave me alone forever. #like when your friend is away and leaves you in charge of their pet so you come by to feed them whenever you remember #like yh u care on some level because it's a cute dog and you'd be sad if it died but at the end of the day #it's just another item on ur to do list. #but for me hes my whole life. i wanna look after him because i would do anything to increase my interaction with him in any way #and i love every second of it. im happy to force him to go and make his food and sit down and eat because i like spending that time w him #and i want to be there for him. i genuinely enjoy it #like making sure he eats and takes his medicine when hes sick and encouraging him to sleep at a normal time #i genuinely like doing that stuff bc i like him and i will jump at the chance to have anything to do with him #but when he does similar stuff it just feels. awkward. we don't talk like we normally do and it just feels like he's monitering me #and it doesn't feel like we're spending time together. it feels like he's carrying out an obligation. which he is. #it feels so fucking wrong and uncomfortable. i cant stand it #i like when im helping him. that feels so natural #it's never awkward and i can enjoy spending that time with him #until im forced to leave #. fuck #❣

some text post doodles of descander because i can. they have such a funny dynamic to me

#fuck it we maintag #professor layton #jean descole #tea ocs: xander cordero (pl) #teadraws #teaposts #ocs #these memes oversimplify it a bit but they really do go from 'i literally can't stand him' to 'maybe i misjudged him but he still annoys me #to 'oops! i'm in love with him now. but even though i know the feeling is mutual i'm not going to do anything about it for years-- #--because the political agendas in which we're now ensnared have made it seem impossible for us to be together in a meaningful way-- #--so i'll continue to act as if i don't like him as a consequence of this unresolved romantic tension' #bickering can be a love language in fiction it's okay

in all seriousness the last march of the ents & the whole ending of the two towers is like. truly in my top 5 cinema moments. it's about the love it's hope it's taking grief and not letting in drown you it's trust in other people like the last 15-30 minutes of the movie are what lord of the rings is all about return of the king is the conclusion of love and hope but the two towers is to have these even at the lowest, hardest point in the journey. this sequence is truly the best this franchise has to offer

#no one cares eli #the shire must be a great realm master gamgee where gardeners are held in high honor #there's some good in this world mr frodo and it's worth fighting for #you said this fortress would never fall while your men defend it they still defend it they have died defending it #the ents go to war it is likely we go to our doom last march of the ents #what can men do against such reckless hate? ride out and meet them #the horn of helm hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time #let this be the hour where we draw swords together #theoden king stands alone - not alone. rohirrim! #release the river as if the dam for industrial military is a prison #don't you know your sam and you know what. anything samwise gamgee #the way frodo drops the sword when he understands it's sam he aimed it at #you've shown your quality captain faramir the very highest #merry and pipping fiding their weed from home in isengard #like i could go on ok this is just SO good

Listen I don’t really care about this play anymore and I haven’t interacted with it in ages but in Be More Chill I think Jeremy and Christine were good together and I won’t STAND for everyone in that fandom trying to convince me otherwise!!!!!

#the klock keeps ticking #ive. held onto this for a long time 👉👈 #and i may be biased cuz christine was the only character i gave a shit about BUT #i stand by my opinion #i think it was refreshing too cuz in a lot of teen trash stories your generic guy protagonist has a crush on a girl #and shes pretty much always the generic popular girl or his generic childhood friend girl #but bmc was like ‘yeah so this guy is in love with this theater girl whos just really fucking weird and has autism swag’ #which i adore we need more of that shit #and like i know WHY ppl hated them together because ppl hate female characters #especially ones that get in the way of THE SHIP BETWEEN TWO MALE CHARACTERS UWAAAAA #i was always of the opinion that michael was gay and he could do better than jeremy #like damn maybe a guy can be gay and single but ppl dont actually want gay characters #they want ships to fawn over #and then the Feminist™️ fans were like ‘i dont hate christine owo heres art of her being SUPPORTIVE of the REAL PAIRING the BOYS’ #‘i headcanon her as pansexual so see im not misogynistic see i ship her with a female character she didnt even interact with see!!!’ #‘im totally not doing this cuz i cant stand the idea that this harmless female character stands in the way of the male characters i woobify’ #which hnnghh all this can segue into a rant i have about musical fans knowing nothing about the source material and therefore being sooo #incorrect in their interpretation of the shows they claim to enjoy #because i know none of these hoes gave a single fuck about anything that happened in this fucking teen trash play i KNOW they didnt #but aaaaaa later #anyways i dont stand for christine slander shes all i have left in this cruel world 😤😤😤

'europeans are more accepting of ukrainian refugees because they are white' WRONG the same people spouting vitriol against brown people are spouting it now.

#under the sun with kai #i feel sick reading fb comment abt any refugee topic in czech because our local paper is just full of hateful little people #the kind that throw around the phrase 'why do they get to go to the zoo for free if i cant' a whole lot #at least our government is not following that rhetoric. at least they are standing their ground in terms of solidarity. #then again it is a centrist-right government so the people already feel like the government does not care about them #so in a way some of that anger is justified but completely wrongly aimed at people fleeing their homes because of war. #its exhausting. the way this is a tangled up sort of cycle. #the elites dont talk to the poorer people because they are deemed stupid and hateful. creating more of a divide. making them angrier and #not teaching them anything. not having discussions that could help bring people together. #the poorer people in turn take it out on whoever is even below them on the social hierarchy at the moment. #the government sees that it is the right thing to do to help refugees. the government ignores the housing and energy crisis encroaching. #the bittersweet feelings from after the last elections are back. #yes. woo. democratic parties won. but also. there is literally zero leftists in the government. zero. #the opposition is filled with populists and extremists. who play at being socially oriented when it benefits them. #there is no liberal left to speak of in our politics at all actually. the pirate party vaguely touched on it and they got fucked last time. #im sorry for this rant im sorting my thoughts. what i know. and its looking more and more dire. #also there are newspapers coming up with statistics that babiš is more likely to win first round of presidential elections. #and i do not know whether to trust them because i can NOT for the life of me keep track of all the media he owns :) #everything is fucked and we will all die here (by words of a podcaster on my fave leftist liberal news site :)) )

#my sister got me these rainbow high dolls #AND IM DOING A WHOLE GROCERY ORDER TO PAY HER BACK #and they made me so happy I started scripting again (long story) #they gave me such autistic joy and now I can’t even look at them #cus she just gives these death glares like #she’d swear she doesn’t do it #but since yknow I dared to stand up for myself #she had to be all like ‘I do everything for you and nothing is happening to you’ #thanks DAD2.0 now I’m never trusting you again #our relationship is much better when we don’t live together #but if I try to tell her I’m not moving in she’ll have a whole meltdown #if I wanna make everyone happy it means that I’m miserable an depressed 24/7 #so whatever I dunno #I’m just so fucking angry I keep hurting myself #why did God make me? #i suck im a loser I have no real talent I can’t do anything right #i beg God to kill me and he doesn’t #im just so tired of killing myself to make everyone happy #the only thing that takes me out of these moments is if I imagine kms over n over n over until I feel like I can actually feel the pain #I’m so tired I want someone to hold me like they used to :’(

Talking with Fabian and whooooooooo boy that was an conversation and a half...

#miranda talking shit #Uuuh i was kinda rightfully anxious? I told him about how i am a little freak and i basically am down to date 90% of my friends #But i got told by Oliver that it could be i act that way bc i dont want to be abandoned/left so im willing to compromise however they want #Me to... So talked about that with him and yep. We finally got into the whole... 'what are we' business. Or well kinda not directly #He said he didn't want to bring it up but we basically are on the subject so... And how hes worried that i will think too much about him #'i worry the more time we spend together the more your life will revolve around me and you'll value me so much more than i do you' #'it doesnt seem fair to you so ive occasionally not talked with you because i worry about that. You're a great friend but I know how much #You think about people. And im worried if you think about me too much you'll develop feelings or I'll mean more to you than before' i... He #Isnt wrong? Thats kinda how i work. The more people prioritize me the more ill value them and cherish them? But also... Idk if he understod #That i dont actively think about kissing or dating my friends? Its just a thing i know that if anyone asked I'd be down for it. But i dont #Daydream about it or anything. But then again he said some cryptic fabian shit like 'i dont have anyone else to compare with so i assume #What we have is normal. I sometimes want to cross the line to see where i still stand with you after doing it' like bro... Im so sorry i am #I am so far from 'normal' and him having me as his biggest both friend and female/woman in his life is probably such a mess i am crying #Me: ok then cross the line and see how you feel. 'but thats the problem. You dont have a line you're so open and down with everything you #Dont really react badly' I know i... Probably am making things hard for him sometimes but this was an holy shit moment /: hes worried to #Spend too much time with me bc of how i can potentially feel? Meanwhile I'm basically 80%+ of all his social interactions 😭 at one hand i #Appreciate him thinking of me and worry i guess but... Yeah. I told him: listen Fabian. My life does not revolve around you and youre not #The only one i think about. You are safe.' his and mine relationship is my favorite but also i definitely worry bc i know how much what we #Have or talk about or act is his... Only reference for girls basically. I mean outside his mom. He's not had any other girl friends and no #Actual girlfriend. So his reference to whats... Okay and appropriate is basically dictated by me and im seeing that very clear now im kinda #Afraid. Like... Im not normal on any level. If he's basing his view on women on me hes going to have an awful time truly... Idk if i should #Be offended or flattered that he thinks he's the center of my world 😭 like hes not completely wrong. I talk with him multiple times per #Week. But i can also say hes not all i think about at all waking hours lol. I obviously love him and care so much about him but im not #In love with him. Not as far as i know anyway. I dont think of him how i do people i have crushes on for example so yeaah. It bothers me #More that he couldn't just say 'im not into you' bc thats fine. He added the whole element of 'im not sure' like buddy now im going to be #Anxious about that in the future. I guess he have no reference to crushes so he cant tell but like... How do you want me to act so you can #Tell? I want an solid answer putting in an maybe is cruel even to me. This is funny bc tbh i dont even know if i would be able to date him #Even if he said he wanted to. Bc i know his biggest wish is to be a dad and i have nog fully embraced that idea even /: 'i can feel how ego #Centered i am. Assuming im the center of your world like that' at least youre self aware sweetie. Sounded like he was at peace with all we #Said and im here like... Binch there's so much to think about i wish i could read your mind i need more information to understand all this

sometimes i’m like “yeah i’m super chill around celebrities, i don’t really clam up or anything, i’m super normal” and then i remember when i “met” frank iero and im like hmmmm maybe i’m wrong.

#it was a few years ago but like. a friend and i got to a venue i think… like a little over 12 hours early for the show??? #so we were obviously there before the band. but when frank got there it was still only like. my friend and a couple other ppl #(we became good friends w the group we waited with btw!!! we all have a gc on insta and stuff they’re rad!!!!) #(we’re trying to get together to see mcr together!!) #but frank like. comes by and starts asking us how we’re doing and is like hey do y’all need anything and whatever #we said we were fine bc evan had gotten us water n shit #and i was standing next to frank and we were all talking and he was like idk we were looking for food where should we go #and we’re in a totally different state from where i’m from so i’m like??? i don’t fuckin know???? #but this was frank fucking iero i wasn’t gonna admit i didn’t know smthn so i’m like I THINK THERES A GELATO PLACE AROUND HERE #so i just sit there like a god damn buffoon nodding and going yeah yeah yeah absolutely sure yeah!!! to every suggestion #and he kinda looks at me as if i’m gonna say smthn and i just smile all ridiculous and shrug and go ‘sounds good to me’ #there was much more to the conversation but the general gist was everyone else being normal and me being doe eyed dumbass #he was very nice abt it all bless him he was super busy but he came out to check on us a couple more times before it got busy #he was always smiley and happy and giggly abt it and i miss him 💔💔 frank i’m so sorry i was useless i swear i can be better #at least i went HARD during the show. we were all right in front since we were literally first in line lol #anyways. still absolutely one of if not my ultimate fave concert i’ve ever been to #these tags have been long as fuck but this memory plagues me at night

[asfdhgsdkjhgb]

forgot to make a post sooner afterwards but!! went to my first pride yesterday (technically 2 days ago its past midnight but shh) and i think the absolute strangest part of the experience was when i got home i took a nap

#/g #just me rambling again #frogs down bad #i went w my bf and!! it was really fun! we saw one of our friends there too for a lil bit and a few people from our school #(also i wanna note my school had a stand we literally took so long to find it but a teacher i really like was running it! so we said hi) #it was a lot of people n hot out n a lot of walking around but it was fun i think! #it was neat #i didnt end up buying anything but at one place that had free pins i got a demi flag one and one w it/its on it which :]] #im saying it was fun bc im pretty sure it was my brain cant really process any feelings on it though its weird i think its just bc i #was probably a bit overwhelmed the whole time but like. i dont mean that in a super negative way i am just a bit confused #i do think it was fun though #back to the post part tho #i wanna note that i am not someone who naps like i genuinely cannot ever sleep during the day the only exception usually being #when im really sick like physically ill otherwise it doesnt matter how tired i am i can never nap #that being said #when we got back to my house we had some food and then layed down together and like. i was out in minutes. both of us were #straight up slept for an hour i think #which is so weird to me #like im sure i needed it we had just walked around for a few hours in a loud hot VERY peopley environment but like. what?????? #that was the easiest ive gotten to sleep by far within the past week or so ive been sleeping like shit ngl so that was. even stranger #genuinely it is so weird to me #i cant nap #but i did #and it was very comfy and it was one of those naps where you k n o w you slept hard bc you wake up a lil disoriented w fabric #wrinkle prints on ur face from whatever you were sleeping on #still so strange to me #something about this silly person of mine makes my brain work different in the comfy way like there was one other time last week #i think at our friends house where we were all chilling in the middle of the afternoon and i almost fell asleep on him then as well #i do not understand my brain ngl #in regards to comfy cozy or the fact that it cannot conceptualize a legitimate feeling or opinion on the experience of going to pride

why yes, it’s the Let’s Shit on Éomer and Théoden For Not Being Bloody Mind-readers While Their Entire Nation Is About To Collapse Around Them Hour again

#i'm so tired #can we stop blaming families for not recognising and coping with one member's mental illness #depression and suicidal thoughts don't work like that! #people can be incredibly good about concealing their problems because they don't want loved ones to worry! #which is pretty much spelled out in LOTR as what Éowyn was doing! #not to mention don't you think Théoden was probably a bit preoccupied by being almost incapacitated by depression and despair himself! #and the death of his only child! #and Éomer being pretty much the only one left standing and trying to hold this crumbling nation together! #but noooo we must once more take a dump on the two men who love Éowyn more than anything in the world
