I think that Dr. Christina "I was an excellent soldier" Raynor needs to deal with some personal things before she's anyone's therapist, because she strong-armed more of Bucky's autonomy away from him than Zemo did within the series.

#yeah man make amends for the shit that happened when you didn't even have control over your own thoughts #so she was giving him a way to “fix things” but that wasn't on him to do so #all she did was doubly reinforce what he already thinks - which is a justified but false and guilt-laden perception - about the situation #idk much about therapy but i don't think that they're sposed to do that. correct me if i'm wrong and then i'll go fight all therapists #bucky barnes #tfaws #alpine #my art #thank you for putting up with my drawings of a comic book character and his asshole cat lol #i had to put my dog down recently in a bad way and i can't rightfully get another house dog with my current work schedule #so i got a cat since they can handle being inside for the day and the shelter lady said she's super antisocial towards other cats #she's super antisocial towards me sometimes too but she sleeps on me at night and my house has never been cleaner #now that i have to vacuum cat fur and mind what i leave lying on the counter #i've never liked cats before but she's special i guess idk ain't everyone's cat special lol #anyway i'll stop using my tumblr blog as a blog now lol

"Steven Lim was disproportionately blamed for the fiasco" and "Steven maybe isn't qualified to be a CEO and doesn't quite have the X factor" are two statements that can coexist

an annoying corollary to the whole "self-flagellating for crime of being a customer" thing is when people make perfectly legitimate and polite complaints to me at work and apologise five billion times for doing so like i don't care....

#.txt #lady ordered a med-rare steak that came out med-well #& complained and had it remade -- totally fair! i would too i hate med-well #but omg. she KEPT apologising for the complaint and saying how she hated complaining at restaurants ALL NIGHT #table was vv sweet and nice to me but at a certain point it was just like. God what do u want me to do with this lol? #like if your stuff is cooked wrong we'll refire it and knock some money off your bill and get you a free drink or something #doesn't have to be this whole thing like my feelings are not hurt because a chef fucked something up #also just like now i have to stand here reassuring you that it wasn't a problem for us or the kitchen &c &c and it's just like #okay this is so fucking irritating....

Cried at work again in front of THE worst possible audience, who interpreted it as manipulative crocodile tears. So like. I don't know if I can keep refraining from making this a HR issue at this point.

#she was tearing strips out of me for 'throwing in her face' that I had done a few things because the manager had specifically asked me to #and when I said I wasn't trying to throw things in her face or say she was wrong she said I was 'still doing it' and 'on a roll' #and then made me look her in the eyes and said I could 'listen and faint later' when I said I was sorry for tearing up #but I was feeling very overwhelmed and faint because I hadn't gotten a chance to eat a meal all day #so like #I can't keep doing this #either I try to resolve this theough mediation or I hand in my notice tomorrow lol #werq bitch

Double or triple checking something -

During a missed opportunity paralogue, that opens up after the Miklan chapter in FE16 and the discovery that is actually common knowledge, that relics given to someone without the matching crest is supposed to turn them in black beasts, we have this from Hilda :

But I'll use it if you tell me to, Professor. Or you can get somebody else to wield it, if you like.

Talking about Freikugel.

The Relic.

When the only person with a crest of Goneril in the group (and we know of) is her.

Is she... asking Billy to turn someone in a Black Beast?

Or it's her usual MO, she actually wants to use the weapon even if she goes "this scary axe is not my thing" and gives Billy the illusion of choice instead of asking for the axe, give it to me or give it to someone else ("and we both know how it'll end teehee")?

Me too Billy.

this game doesn't really seem to know what to do with its own lore :(

#ugh #this paralogue has many things wrong #but this wasn't glaring at first #i mean even if it was used as a joke/manipulation to really get it #she couldn't do it like Yuri saying she's the only one who can use it or she should use it bcs it's her family heirloom? #it's 'give it to someone and watch them turn in a black beast lol' #or it's just the game forgetting what it wrote 5 lines aboves when she says her crest allows her to use the relic?? #idk #but it's wild #character rant #sort of #FE16

This whole situation with Howleen not being related to Clawdeen in G3 lowkey reminds me of the whole fiasco with the new Tiny Toons reboot regarding Babs & Buster Bunny, except inversed.

To explain it: In the original Tiny Toons show, there's a running joke where Babs & Buster aren't related, despite them having the same last name. They're also shown to have romantic crushes on each other.

However, in the reboot (Tiny Toons Looniversity), Babs & Buster are now related, as twins.

So, Clawdeen & Howleen are not related now, but Babs & Buster are....Feels like the people in charge of these reboots haven't seen the OG or only looked at it on a surface-level understanding.

Ooh interesting! Honestly that can make things so uncomfortable. I imagine a lot of older fans probably shipped them, and have now been put into this unfair position where it now feels problematic to do so, and given how toxic fandom spaces can be, I imagine there's a lot of new fans of the reboot who might hound them about it. Yikes!

I have to say tho, I think it would be kinda wild if the current writers didn't know that Howleen is supposed to be Clawdeen's little sister, it's kinda like the main thing about her character. The fact that it was a conscious choice (assuming they don't backtrack in some way in the future) makes it even harder to accept.

It also reminds me of Strawberry Shortcake, the generation I grew up with (the best one) and how Apple Dumplin' was her baby sister, but come the reboot (the absolute worst version) is instead her cousin who's the same age, or just a tad younger. Idk, in both cases the decisions just seemed kinda random, but I suppose in Clawdeen's case her family dynamic is so different it would be hard to fit Howleen in. Hell, look how much reaching they had to do to bring Clawd back as her older brother.

#i dont really feel like putting this in the mh tag we're kinda all over the place with other cartoons lol #at this point their dynamic is so different idk if i'd even want them to be related #dont get me wrong their dynamic in gen 1 wasn't always the best #i always disliked how condescending clawdeen was towards her despite being only a year older sometimes #ive sat with a bit and kinda realized i just dont really vibe with g3 howleen #like she's fine as a character separate from g1 #but she's just so much less compelling imo #ive talked about the wasted potential of g1 howleen and i'll die mad about it #i dont think it needs to be said but i am a certified g3 clawdeen hater #so at this point i just kinda feel nothing about the whole thing other than mild annoyance #clawd's good tho #love him #even tho i think the logic around his existence is weird

You know Azula is one antagonist of the show, she attacks and hunts the gaang, Zuko&Iroh. She is not Zuko's abuser. She still is a villain and the "she is Zuko's abuser otherwise she wouldn't be bad/ you need to have done wrong things to get a redemption" argument doesn't fly, since her attacking the gaang,Zuko, fighting for the fire nation is what makes her a antagonist in the show and not your random ass she is Zuko's abuser BS. Her not being his abuser doesnt take away from her wrong doings lmao. Also their example of siblings are Iroh&Ozai and Lo&Li

#azula #do you have siblings? #like srsly do you? #also don't project your real life bully in her becuase she is not that #its just wrong and if you still see her as such fine thats your wrong opinon #if you think she is his abuser just reblog or comment with a yes #fandom should be fun and I dont have the energy to see this shitty take float around #also some of ya'll learn the difference between trying to understand the reasons why Azula did something vs justyfying them #pd talks #this is a no debate topic for me and I simply dont care if you think otherwise #like I get that she is mean to him but the boy isn't scared at all of Azula #he was just scared when he heard his father was going to kill him due to Azula wanting to mess with him #he wasn't scared of her lol #rewatch the damn show #atla fandumb #atla fandom problems #atla fandom fuckery

I've shared these on my Instagram, but I also wanna share them here b/c I'm pretty proud of my plushies and I spent a lot of time on them at the end of last year! More pictures n words below the cut!!!

So I have an embroidery machine now and while it was helpful for my Laudna cosplay (If frustrating bc girl idk how to embroider and yet I jumped headfirst into that!) I can embroider a lot of faces! B/c I wanted to make things for friends n family, I figured I'd test it with this plushie before starting the others and it came out SO CUTE!!! It's the actual sewing that I sorta messed up on, but it's very cute overall!

Made initially for a friend, didn't finish and then was gonna give to my nephew, but he's a monster truck guy and so this is gonna go to someone else I think!

#sewing project #cholyknight #cholyknight pattern #dino plushie #free plushie pattern #he's a little dinosuar #a t-rex even!!! #but a friend was like he looks like agumon!!! #and you know she wasn't wrong LOL

[fideidefenswhore]

Yeah I like to see some quotes please. I can't really get my head round people believing in Mary's bona fides when the law didn't even exist in England. It's like Americans obsessing over a law only Canadians have. But I guess loyalty/sentiment/status quo was a big part of it.

Well, I don't think most noblewo/men were deeply well-versed in succession/inheritance laws of England and all their precedents, unless they'd happened to also study law...the assumption was probably that what was the law in most of Christendom was for England as well, understandably. But, then, that's not even a subject that seems to be well-understood in 21c historiography:

“[Henry VIII] now argued she would would be barred by illegitimacy. This contention puzzled continental contemporaries because elsewhere in western Europe those children born to couples who in good faith believed themselves validly married were treated as legitimate. Nevertheless, Henry was right. After a period of some uncertainty, by the late fourteenth century England had opted out of the bona fides principle. As Sir John Baker notes, 'succession problems were usually debated in legal terms and in accordance with the common law canons of inheritance.’ A successful challenge to his marriage would thus automatically bastardise Mary and leave Henry no direct heir… [although] Mary could have been legitimated by statute.” - JF Hadwin, Katherine of Aragon and the Veil, The Journal of Ecclesiastical History

... so that's, for the 16c, like I said, an understandable assumption. (Also, their source was probably Chapuys, who was familiar with both secular and church law, but espoused many misunderstandings of their precedents, too...so did Fisher, they're enumerated in another article by the same historian, titled Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Henry VIII, I will post those relevant quotes too, if they're of interest to you, asw).

Yeah, the bona fides element was... an interesting one, nevertheless...like, all the interrogations I mentioned, everyone says they've heard Mary was bona fides but won't really explain what it meant, they admit their ignorance on the subject, and won't name the source of where they've heard it (although, like I mentioned, they are willing to point fingers to deflect suspicion off themselves of their former friends in other regards), just assert that they all sort of mindlessly (lol) repeated what they'd heard, all, understandably, to maintain plausible deniability and get themselves out of the hot water they've landed themselvves in.

For the Exeter conspiracy, I've posted one relevant in the past, I'll see what else I can scrounge up from my notes of excerpts.

It was, but I don't think courtier opportunism should be underestimated. Just one example, but I always remember that the Marquis of Exeter was one of the delegation of nobles HVIII sent to pressure CoA to relinquish her rights as Queen, tell Charles V to stop interfering in the matter, and one of the conspirators named by Chapuys in the Boleyn downfall. Granted, his wife had been one of Mary's supporters from very early on, so I think that element is there.

Elitism is probably an overestimated element, like while it's true the Boleyns were not born of royalty (neither were the Seymours, tho, so like...); I think what was going on beneath the surface was more intricate. Take Nicholas Carew, for example: originally, he'd been of the Boleyn faction, understandably, since they were cousins (he also, initially at least, seemed to favour a French alliance, so there's that). But I think what began as , well, the King needs a son, and if he's going to marry another wife, it might as well be a woman of my family as anyone else, to my benefit as much as anyone else...well, I think the shine came off this as matters unfolded. The thrust of their expectations were probably that AB was going to have as much, or less, influence as her predecessor with Henry, and her influence and power quickly outstripped those expectations. As the Boleyns gained power, wealth, and influence, and as men like Carew felt their own influence ebb in favour of say, George Boleyn (and I use him as an example, because by early 1536, it's evident many noblemen hated George, Lancelot de Carles' report of those events really crystallizes this)...well, resentment only grew, and their desire for the return of the status quo was thus kindled.

#anon #i can do some quotes about george from joanna della neva's translation too if you'd like. again; just about finding time. #anyway don't mistake this for anglocentric superiority...hviii was wrong too lol #it seems like his assertion that margaret douglas would be illegitimated by the annulment of her parents' marriage #was a misapplication / presumption of english law applying to scottish laws of inheritance #and that this was the argument for his justification of anger over his sister's divorce...erroneously #or maybe he meant the 'risk' that the pope wouldn't annul it and then what. idk #granted he also asserted she was illegitimate himself at a later date. altho that might've just been bcus the pope said she wasn't #and he was obviously contrary and big on believing his own understanding of canon law as superior to popes' by that point . saurr... #and also; the argument many make: had AB ever had a son #there would likely be a huge return of those like carew to her faction/party #altho. since anne tended to hold a grudge. more like a tide of attempts to do so ... #and i say that's not a subject that seems well understood bcus. well.can't tell you how many tudor biographies #essentially repeat the same narrative: mary was bona fides and henry was stupid for not just ~accepting~ this and treating her as such #and/or he did it out of spite and the counterfactual he would've let mary remain a princess had anne had a son instead in 1533 or if she'd #accepted her stepmother as queen.... #so. the above article was quite illuminating. as it was by a historian who specializes in the subject #and most don't.
