Charlie: Just be yourself.

Sir Pentious: 'Be myself'? Charlie, I have one day to win Cherri Bomb over. How long did it take before you guys started liking me?

Angel Dust: Couple weeks.

Husk: Six months.

Alastor: Jury’s still out.

Sir Pentious: See, Charlie?

Sir Pentious: 'Be myself'. What kind of garbage advice is that?

idk if this is accurate but i’ve felt like in previous seasons riz & gorgug have been one of the inter-bad kids dynamics we’ve seen the least of & this season has been so great in that aspect. gorgug having helped make some of riz’s magic gear. riz helping gorgug with his studies. the shared birthday party. gorgug’s gift to riz being something he himself made to protect riz. riz’s gift to gorgug being something he illegally grabbed to protect gorgug. gorgug who utilizes rage to put his body on the line for his friends & riz who will take deep levels of mental stress for his friends. even though it was within the context of a joke, riz calling gorgug an “absolute sweetie.” like yea they might not be in a band together or both part of a presidential campaign team or owlbears teammates, but they’d go to war for each other, because they’re best friends.

#riz gukgak #gorgug thistlespring #fantasy high #dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #these kids are all so self-sacrificing but i do think riz gorgug are the most clear (& juxtaposed) self-sacrificers #riz will mentally tear himself to pieces and get lost in cases and take on ungodly levels of stress for those he loves #gorgug will use himself as a human shield. he will take hit after hit if it means his friends are okay. #and they’d both do the other thing too. riz would let himself get hit for gorgug. gorgug would pull all nighters & take stress for riz. #even if mechanically they can’t or it wouldn’t make sense. they would if they could. #also #the starstruck barry mechanic of being a guard is so gorgug. it’s soooo gorgug like that’s literally him #anyways love this tall green guy & this short green guy so much #especially because gorgug is tall & considered intimidating but protective in a deeply kind way #while riz is short & underestimated but protective in a deeply vicious way (affectionate) #i hope this makes sense but i think riz is primarily ‘i would kill for you’ & gorgug is primarily ‘i would die for you’ maybe #this does not mean gorgug would not kill for riz or riz would not die for gorgug. they both would. #but those are the primary ways their love manifests due to the nature of their strengths/personalities.

guys idk about you but i am NOT ready to delve into uncharted waters as we move into new content with bsd in the upcoming chapter.

this new chapter could include anywhere from ada reunion and a return back to yokohama OR to a new horrible twist after fyodor’s death, ensuring that if he lost then dazai would too. taking dazai down with him.

not to mention if we return back to yokohama that’s a whole other gut wrenching story as one ada member is selected to go to the port mafia. i am not ready to see the futile and tragic looks on the other agency members as they grit their teeth and watch one of their own step into the world of darkness. the tragedy of letting someone go after they have all reconciled. being separated again, but for good this time

#AND AND HOLD ON……….IF ITS DAZAI OR YOSANO???? #DAZAI MIGHT JUST GO TO SAVE YOSANO. #NOTICE HOW HES BECOMING MORE SELF SACRIFICAL AND READY TO DIE FOR THE ADA?? ESP DURING MEURSAULT #MORI KEPT DAZAI’S EXECUTIVE SEAT OPEN. HE HAS BEEN KEEPING IT OPEN SINCE DAZAI WAS EIGHTEEN AND FLED THE MAFIA #guys if dazai is the one chosen to go back to the pm do you fucking realize that i will kill myself #his whole redemption arc….EVERYTHING he has done up until now to wrench himself free of the shadows of his past that still cling to him… #….ITS ALL GOING TO BE FOR NOTHING.

all the baldur’s gate 3 companion storylines. is just loving someone enough to break them free from the cycle. understanding that what they think they want isn’t good for them. valuing their character more than their power.

okay call me cynical but i'm at that point where i want five's story to end with him dying. i know a lot of people are probably going to disagree with me because it's going to feel like a slap in the face for him to die after everything he's gone through but i just feel like him having a bittersweet ending is way more satisfying to me than some wishy-washy 'everything worked out and they all lived happily ever after' no consequences kind of ending. i want a five who spent years trying to save his family from dying, always being the one to survive, always being the one left alone at the end of everything, to die saving his family. i want a five who realises it's him that's been causing their fates this entire time, that it's always been him, that five is the apocalypse because his messing with the timeline had made such a mess of things that the universe tried to take the hargreeves out of the equation entirely. give me a five who finally realises the only way to save them is to take himself out of the equation instead.

#yeah @ me for this one okay but im so ready for him to die in s4 #my end game hopes are still five sacrificing himself to save his family and somehow fix the whole timeline #and right before the end credits we see the rest of his family in a restored 2019 outside the academy mourning his loss #and in the background we see a flash of blue and a 13 year old boy in a very familiar school uniform stumble out #roll credits #the umbrella academy #tua #tua s4 #tua4 #number five #number 5 #five hargreeves #either give me this or give me ALL the hargreeves dying and five realising he could never save them #and the best he could hope for was to die along with them #give me a 'life is strange' type approach to messing with timelines to save the people you love #tua s4 speculation

A little theory about what happened to Steph's mother

So we know that Solomon Lauter got the Black Book 15 years ago, when Steph was around 3 years old, and that he has some bad memories with it. We also saw how a deal with the Lords in Black looks - that you have to give up something that you cherish most. Like a person you love...

Also because of the above (like Nibbly already tasted the blood Stephanie has) + their surname sounding like slaughter (like you can slaughter pigs) + the ending of the Honey Queen I think Solomon made a deal with Nibbly specifically to become the Mayor of Hatchetfield

#this was also heavily hibted by Nick at the Halloween livestream so it can as well ve common knowledge #but i really wanted to put all those screenshots in one place okay #npmd #nerdy prudes must die #starkid #Hatchetfield #solomon lauter #my next question is why would he even want to become the mayor if this was the cost #? #it doesn't seem like it has any benefits more like you have to put up with this messed up town #solomon kinda acts like he's the only one that can protect the town and he's sacrificing himself for it and if someone else becomes the #mayor it'll be the end of the world but we never see why and what exactly he's doing #or maybe he's a politicians and they just act like that i wont pretend i know politics or what mayors of normal towns do

kdj trying to kill himself after seeing the OD is such a visceral and gut wrenching part of the book—

“Something was wrong. A blade… I, I needed to find a blade.” <- this scene (chapter 515) actually broke my heart, i genuinely felt sick reading it. he’s so desperate to die that it’s honestly palpable, it’s like finally seeing that truth behind the snarky mask kim dokja always wears. it took me until this point to realize that every time he tried to sacrifice himself for his companions, it wasn’t just a well thought out plan but a true, genuine suicidality and the acceptance that he might not come back. that he isn’t worthy of living a good, happy life with a happy ending. (which maybe i’m just slow, but i really fell for dokja’s lies, every single time i thought to myself “everything’s going to be fine because he has a plan to survive this,” and almost every single time i was right. except for the end i suppose.)

and fuck, it hits so, so hard.

So… the God of Curiosity! How does he relate to the Lords of the Golden Hill? Is he invited in, is he seen as an interloper or usurper? Absolutely adore these two!

What a great question! I spent the morning refreshing myself on the Lords of the Golden Hills, which is the 5e gnomish pantheon, if anyone's unfamiliar. They are more active in the lives of their followers than other gods.

Also, sorry, this is where I reveal my superpower of being unable to write short answers to anything.

what's a god to a mayhew

Mayhew's parents are historians who take the name "the Forgotten Folk" as a personal insult, so he was weaned on myths and histories of the Lords of the Golden Hills. The Lords set Mayhew's expectations for what gods should be: invested and actively working to make things better.

(couldn't resist drawing mayhew and mamahew)

In game, Mayhew ran into many awful situations that he thinks good gods could have fixed, but didn't. Refugees slaughtered for sport, children locked in Cazador's dungeons for eternity, families enslaved and used as hostages, children murdered by Gortash's Steel Watch, you name it. These people surely prayed, but gods did not save them. Do gods who do nothing deserve worship?

Not to Mayhew. He was FULLY on board with Gale's astral boat scene logic of "we will be gods but BETTER because we CARE and DO STUFF." Mayhew is not a long-term thinker, especially if people are hurting right now, right in front of him. He sees only trees, never forests.

He views himself and Gale as being on their own side. All of his post-ascension decisions are based on them being an inseparable pair shaking up the system. He's not interested in being part of Lords of the Golden Hills.

what's a mayhew to a god

The Lords probably have mixed feelings about him. They would not invite him into their brotherhood. However, his goals often align with theirs, and as long as Mayhew didn't rock their boat too much, they'd be tenuous allies. More about Godhew and other gods under the cut!

Mayhew himself has many Glittergoldian qualities about him -- he's an elusive tale-teller and a sneak, and if you pried his coping mechanism sense of humor from him, he'd probably die on the spot -- so I think he'd get on with Garl Glittergold and Baervan Wildwanderer. Mayhew's not easily flustered, and he'd find it a hoot to be pranked by Garl, so I expect he'd pass any test of character Garl might run an upstart godling through.

Baravar Cloakshadow, god of illusions and deceptions, would be interesting. Mayhew is a born liar (deception is his second-highest skill after history) who cares deeply about protecting others, so on paper they're aligned. However, Baravar counts Mystra among his allies, so this alliance would be a strained one.

But the biggest reason Mayhew isn't interested in becoming a Lord of the Golden Hills? They're concerned primarily with the welfare of gnomes. As a god, Mayhew has broader designs than that.

a god for whom?

Mayhew cares about everyone, especially people who are unimportant. He was a latchkey kid who wandered all over the city from a very young age, poking his nose everywhere it shouldn't be and talking to people just to hear their stories. He probably even made friends with the sewer kobolds, despite historical bad blood between gnomes and kobolds. Most of the alliances Galehew make after ascension are Mayhew's doing. Gale is always grander and more powerful, but Mayhew is better-liked and better-loved by gods and mortals.

In particular, bleeding heart Mayhew is an ally and protector of children. Troublemakers, especially. The most common name he ends up being known by is the Children's God. In 5e, there doesn't actually seem to be a god FOR children, simply gods with "family" as part of their portfolio. To me, that reads as a god for parents. But Mayhew adores kids! In game, he looked out for all of them and spoiled them shamelessly via the barter menu. All the urchins got cash, clothing, trinkets, snacks, protective magical items, etc. He bought soup from Yenna every day. He gave Mattis 2000 gold (😭) for a key he never even used (😭)...and gave the amulet of greater health (😭)...and some grenades because all children should have a chance to make bad decisions...

To kids, he's like an imaginary friend who'll help you out of a tight spot, aid your capers, and shield you from terrors. When a child ages out of needing an imaginary friend, he's there as the God of Curiosity -- and what is curiosity without drive? Perhaps they'll follow their dreams in the footsteps of his partner, the God of Ambition. Completely unintentionally, Mayhew probably ensures the longevity of the Galerian religion this way.

Not all of Mayhew's ideals survive ascension, though he goes in with good intentions. He loses some of himself, but his love for people is the core of him. It doesn't change.

[emmmmmmmys]

rewatching thriller bark bc it’s my favorite arc and i remembered something that’s debated pretty often. would sanji have survived taking luffy’s pain instead of zoro?

i honestly don’t think so. my reason for thinking this is mostly due to the fact that zoro has a stronger will to live than sanji. zoro has this obsessive need to stay alive. he has to be the strongest swordsman for kuina. he has to stay alive to protect the crew. he has to stay alive to help luffy become king of the pirates. he will not let himself die before then.

on the other hand, sanji thinks of his life as lesser and will sacrifice himself in service of others if it is for a reason he deems as “the greater good.” obviously it’s a result of trauma and how his family members drilled into his head that he’s “worthless” or “not worth anything.” it could also possibly be something he got from his mother, who’d sacrificed herself to make sure sanji wasn’t like judge or the other vinsmokes. we see evidence of this in the baratie arc and in wci. both times, sanji is willing to throw his life and his dreams away to preserve the lives of others, more specifically, his crew. he wants to prove his worth through “protecting” his crew and the only way to fully do that in sanji’s eyes is to sacrifice himself. so i think that sanji would have seen the taking of his captain’s pain as a way to pay back everything luffy had done and would 100% be okay with death in that moment.

#zoro is…. not Like That #he’s quite literally #unwilling to die #and this has nothing to do with power scaling #i don’t gaf about that shit #this is about sanji’s willingness to die #because he thinks that sacrificing himself means more to the crew than staying alive #vs #zoro’s unwillingness to leave kuina’s dream unfinished #therefore he’s willing to walk off life threatening injuries because he’s not satisfied with dying now #one piece #black leg sanji #roronoa zoro #thriller bark #honestly i could get wayyyy more into zoro #and how he is almost terrified of death #any whisper of death and he’s flying for the hills #it’s a result of kuina and his own trauma around that #he knows how quick and impersonal death is #he doesn’t see death as a sacrifice like sanji does #there’s more but i don’t want to leave all of it in the tags #i just… #love them so much #i love finding how they tick

the fascinating thing about the maze runner books vs the movies is that they're both tragedies, but just...different kinds. in the books no matter what wicked did, they never got close to a cure. it was all for nothing: all the torture, all the death, all the money and effort spent trying to cure something that was just unstoppable. the world burned while a few hundred immunes survived, and there was no other way the story could have gone.

but in the movies they were so close. thomas was the cure. they had it in their hands and could have saved everyone, but they were just too late. wicked was destroyed, the last city fell, and with it the world's last hope for a cure. they almost got the cure in time. they almost made it in time to save newt. they almost won.

#tragedy where it was all inevitable vs tragedy where victory was within reach but it was just too late for everyone. fight. #anyway i am insane about this tonight. good day #just watched the death cure deleted scenes for the first time and man...................................................................... #the way all the complexity to gally's character was practically left out of that movie. what if i explode. #also the way everyone hates teresa for LITERALLY no reason like girl........god forbid morally gray women do anything. #honestly while we're talking. thomas is morally gray too. #he's choosing himself + his friends over the entire world. while teresa is sacrificing her friends to save the world. #two sides of the same morally gray coin etc etc. i will defend teresa until the day i die btw. #not idly do i choose my blog title. #but anyway it's just insane to me how much moral complexity and nuance there is in these books/movies #and how much of it was left OUT of the movies too. litcherally insane. #oooough.....role reversal au.................. #tmr mutuals here's some food. i havent maze runner posted in ages but the brainworms are coming back #winter speaks #the maze runner
