#anti-climax

[j-august]

For some in the St James's Street offices of the Security Service, the final weeks of the war, when they were no longer faced with any serious threat to national security, were an anti-climax. Hugh Astor, formerly the highly motivated case officer of BRUTUS and other double agents who had played a key role, found himself becoming bored as his case-work ran down. So did Guy Liddell, who wrote in his diary on 4 May: 'The end of the war is falling rather flat, and VE Day is undoubtedly going to be a colossal bore, with no food and no transport. The only thing to do is to tie a Union Jack to the bedpost and go to bed.'

Christopher Andrew, The Defence of the Realm

Wistfulness (33/34)

 James quickly pulled his phone from his back pocket. The text he wrote was still on the screen.

“This is very much none of my business,” Dante said as James put his phone back in his pocket, “But I accidentally saw what you wrote when I picked up your phone, and I think if you miss her this much, you should send it. Let her know."

"I’m only saying that because I had to miss many people in my life and I can’t tell them. So if you can, please tell her while you still have the chance.”

James shook his head, “It’s a bit more complicated than that…” “I’m sorry,” Dante said, “I’m sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong…”

#Is it really that complicated? #Or does Dante have a point? #What if James just send that text? #Also; I'm sorry peeps #I know everyone was hoping for an accidental send #Anti-climax much? #I like extending the drama lol #atoh #spring 08 #ts3 #the sims 3 #sims 3 #sims story #james wyler #dante moretti

as much as I enjoy referring to the end of flux as a triple genocide, it annoys me when people take it completely seriously bc. that's not. what it is. by the time they have control of the lupari fleet, the daleks and cybermen fleets have already been consumed (and it's not like the daleks and cybermen were wiped out, anyway), and not saving the sontarans was. necessary. the doctor didn't have the passenger plan at that point, she needed as much matter as possible - and 13 has a history of doing to her enemies what they do to their victims. she's as merciful as they are, but where the sontarans were willing to let trillions of innocents be wiped out, she used the sontarans' fleet - and when that didn't finish it off, she used the lupari fleet, and when that didn't work, she used passenger. the endgame of flux is a series of desperate ploys, one after the other, in the forlorn hope that one of them will work.

#doctor who #doctor who flux #thirteenth doctor #oh and of course passenger is an anti climax #the climax of the episode is the sontaran fleet and that plan #passenger is like the tardis towing back the earth in journey's end #cleaning up the loose end #and ties into one of the themes of flux #which is everyone doing their best to prevent the coming catastrophe #everyone but vinder and the doctor overlooked diane #and she solved it #in the end #and dan of course #but this isnt about him

It went from the sickest looking minotaur in tv history to what ever the hell was the trident flying above Percy head was

#loo chatters #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #I’m devouring this show so far #I love it #BUT I did burst out laughing at the anti climax of Poseidons trident #it looked so… last minute ?

I'm losing all my senses every night Darlin', don't you know that I die every night for you? And I don't want to want somebody new Darlin', don't you know that I die every night for you? I cry for you

Ok so I’m going to keep practicing with making and editing gifs, this set was inspired by four different things... 

1.) @docharmoni  reminded me how much I love the moment when the TARDIS interface shows him Rose.

2.) Die for you by Léon is a song I’ve associated with DoctorxRose since I heard it, honestly quite a few of her songs I associate with them haha. I really wanted to make gifs for the lyrics << I say, "Couldn't we just have one more before we go?” Don't wanna go >> b/c to me that’s Ten seeing Rose right before he regenerates but alas I was also trying to stick with an ElevenxRose theme.

3.) @jacks-the-flower  your recent post about Eleven “wanting to be the man the love of his lives chose” had me in my feels and it was in the back of my mind as I made this. I could see the Doctor being happy for Rose getting to be with Tentoo as he could grow old with her, but on the down low still a bit bitter about it 🤣 🤣

4.) I just love the idea of Eleven and Rose so much lol

#doctor who #dw gifs #my gifs #timepetals #rose tyler #tenth doctor #tentoo #eleventh doctor #tenrose #tentoorose #elevenrose #hmmm i'm going to be diplomatic about the line #and i don't want to want somebody new #but...just gonna put some anti tags in here to be safe lol #anti moffat #anti river song #also i tried to make it look like he was mouthing the words lmao #doctor who the musical coming our way #obviously the last gif is the big dramatic climax hehehe #😊 😊

Horikoshis decision to actually further develop Bakugo as a character and do more w him than just be someone for Deku to overcome was one of the smartest decisions he made for BNHA

#bnha #it would be so awesome if he could properly follow through with bakugos arc #imagine if he could do that #there’s still time ! #bakugo katsuki #also note I said one of #cuz I know how u antis like to tussle #someone pointing out that bkg doesn’t get any solo arc at all like ok. #he better have some crazy ass fucking battle scene in the climax of the war 😭 #or else he’ll answer for this in hell I promise

[bobbyfirminosworld]

Anyone else feel a bit depressed after that?

#what an anti climax #like are we okay? #cos we looked fucked.

Devilman sequel manga are so funny because they all have these tad bits of good but then are mostly just fucking awful

Shin Devilman is good tho except for the first chapter who asked for Hitler's sympathetic backstory sobbing

#devilman #go nagai #devilman lady #devilman saga #violence jack #shin violence jack #shin devilman #Devilman Lady is just fetishized rape: the manga #Violence Jack is just the same as Lady but slightly less #well the plottwist at the end is pretty cool but it's not worth it for the material before it and the ending #shin violence jack is actually pretty good though it really dragged in the middle and stopped right when everything was getting interesting #like sure Devilman had an amazing anti-climax ending where they timeskip #but in every future case except Shin Devilman i feel like it's really misguided because they dont even timeskip #they just end it before the story climaxes #or climax the story in a very unsatisfying way #oh how rough it is to be a Devilman fan #atleast Crybaby is okay. it's inferior to the manga but it serves its purpose as a new interpretation of the original material and got many #new fans onboard #including myself #oh right i mentioned Crybaby i guess i should tag it #Devilman Crybaby #fandom problems

[gayofthefae]

The thing with the ily speech is idc how genuine it was or whether she believed it but I will tell you that she was motivated by Max choking or something else I can't think of because all I know is she did not have that arc just to need to be empowered by a man in order to fight.

#el hopper #ily speech #anti milkvan #el hopper arc #stranger things #that just is not what happened #ah the climax of her fuck men i'm powerful arc: i am weak without my man #nope

About people blaming Ochako for not "listening" to Toga, that's largely the fault of a Tumblr user named [Omitted]. A lot of the LoV fans' arguments originated from [Omitted], because she's the one who keeps insisting that villains are just victims of society. So the hatred of Ochako is [Omitted]'s doing, because she's the one who constantly argues that the heroes are (at best) tone-deaf for holding villains accountable. And she insists her position is Morally and Intellectually Complex (TM).

--

Forgive me for doing it this way anon, but I’m not here to attack other users, nor do I want to send others after them. It is nice to know where all this originated from, however. She is entitled to her opinion just as I am to mine. Whether we agree is inconsequential.

My stand is that while the villains are sympathetic to a point, they should still be held accountable for their own choices.

 At this point, the heroes aren’t being “tone-deaf” they’re trying to stop a bunch of terrorists from destroying a city and getting a bunch of people killed.

Once they’re stopped, then you ask why they did what they did and hear their side when people aren’t in danger. That’s why trials and juries exist. Are they victims? To a point, yes. But they’re also attackers, and that point should not be forgotten.

#anon reply #anti lov #anti league of villains #anti toga #anti himiko toga #I also hate the pacing of their story and how most of the backstories are being shoved into the climax #and how we're told that most the problem they have exist but we're never shown them #but that's a post far off in the future #bnha #mha #bnha meta

the more i think about s&b season 2 the more i wonder if it was a fever dream tbh because it was just so???? weird????? the choices that were made in its creation are just so mind-boggling that i'm just sitting there like "yes this is a thing i witnessed"

#again this is due to the fact that the moment it became clear the pekka x kaz climax was happening NOW #i checked out emotionally so everything after that was just impossible to enjoy #but still... just. gosh #the fucking pacing #the lack of development for just about anything #anti sab netflix #sab netflix #shadow and bone netflix

It also helps to explain better why Ridley's boss fight in Super Metroid became an anti climax boss fight. Because in Metroid II Samus Returns his body became so weakened by the baby metroid, Ridley resorted his boss arena to be as claustrophobic as possible to compensate for his worf had the flu syndrome. He was hoping to beat Samus Aran in close combat yet failed to realize she has level grinded enough power ups and energy tanks to make quick fodder out of him. Ridley hanging on his last life.

Ridley has 18000 hit points.

Ridley deals 40 / 80 / 160 damage with his body, 30 / 60 / 120 damage with his tail, and 15 / 30 / 60 damage with fireballs, to Gravity Suit / Varia Suit / Power Suit Samus, respectively.

Similar to Mother Brain's bombs, a single fireball volley can damage Samus multiple times, or not damage Samus at all, depending on how Samus comes into contact with it.

I wouldn't say that my man was hit by the Worf Effect :')

#metroid #super metroid #ridley an anti climax boss fight???? #i mean he's no spider guardian but c'mon he's not just hard due to the small arena

ive makes the most frustrating music on earth

#like theyre not generic kpop and theyre not generic american pop but they combine the worst parts of both in a way thats almost interesting #but always falls back on the most irritating possible option in any point of the composition of every single song they have #like its so much worse than just being bad bc it always builds up just enough interest that maybe it will sound good #and then completely anti climaxes in a way that makes you soooo mad
