#but I don’t think he understood that

[sweetpapercroissant]

i just want to emphasise how crazy it is that samdean don’t need or even really want (at times) any external relationship outside of each other. developing different kinds of human relationships with different people is a huge part of growing as a person. and they just-don’t. even when they have the choice and chance to do so-they just choose not to. they really fulfill each other’s every need and that is so. it’s so sick how insular they are and even more so, in some ways, how content they are in that.

#zachariah got it right #psychotically irrationally erotically codependent #i do think that dean likes having friends #he’s social in that he knows how to read and play people #and he thrives on that #he is also #hmm idk how to word it properly #but he forms connections very easily because he’s good at understanding emotions #even if he doesn’t always be considerate of them #i think fandom doesn’t give him enough credit for his awareness #whether it’s about emotions or customs (i can’t remember the proper word rn so this will have to do) #they always mistake his lack of acknowledging them (outwardly) as ignorance #or worse simply forget (willfully?) when he does #anyway this got long #my original point was that sam doesn’t really need to have a lot of connections to be comfortable/content #not in the later seasons at least #earlier seasons he wanted connections specifically outside of his family because he was suffocating (they all were tbh) #and ofc he wanted to be understood #but like i said i don’t think he needs other humans around the way dean does #supernatural #sam and dean #samdean #.txt

If you dont mind me asking, on which season of 2012 tmnt are you at?

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to sit down and watch but I’m pretty sure I’m at some point in season 2? So still a long way to go but admittedly I’ve already been spoiled on more than one thing haha. I like the characters a lot though, they’re very prickly and react to things a lot more realistically than I thought they would.

#non au ask #dunno who my favorite is honestly they’re all great #at the moment I think 2012 Donnie may be my fav? simply bc he is very cringefail and it makes me laugh bless his heart #but my fav keeps being juggled around tbh #I’m also a hardened April defender like I may be early on but I’ve heard of what happens later and I still think she’s great 😤 #the woes of liking fictional female characters #that have the gall of having flaws like their male counterparts #ngl I’ve had a soft spot for 2012 for a while bc I kept seeing fics try and bash it? and I never understood why #and getting into the series and hearing everyone’s justifications for bashing it…still don’t get it! #maybe I’m more forgiving to media than I should be but oh well I’m enjoying it and these teenagers are good kids

headcannon that sirius black never cries. he gets angry and he yells and smashes things. his magic flies out of control and he says the most hurtful things. but no matter what happens, remus has never seen him cry.

and then one day the daily prophet announces that regulus black has died. and for the first time in eight years of knowing him, remus watches sirius breakdown and sob on their kitchen floor.

#this is not well written pls send help #regulus black #sirius black #the black brothers #wolfstar #sirius and regulus #these guys make me sad #i’m procrastinating again and of course it’s these idiots who’re contaminating my mind #but yknow how young wizards can’t control their magic? #that still happens for sirius #bc he never learnt to fully process his emotions so he still loses control like that #has smashed multiple light bulbs #someone help him #but yea #reggie’s death broke him #and i’ll stand by that #and i don’t think remus would have understood #like he’d have been supportive the whole way through #but yea it just doesn’t make sense #yknow what i mean? #i love these guys

[mxlfoydraco]

the other ship disrespecting Sirius’ character on the regular is jegulus sorry not sorry. “defiling/corrupting my little brother”?? getting mad at James? the same James who’s basically his soulmate and sanctuary? in that scenario it would be James he’d get protective over lmao as if there could ever be someone he would see as better than James. it would be James he wouldnt want tainted w exposure to his garbage family

#I don’t think just how much sirius loves james is actually understood #if anything he’d be jealous of james’ attention #also ew why would sirius think of sex as defiling???? thats puritan bs he wants nothing to do with #sirius black #james potter #mine

Thinking baby Luke thoughts tonight, but more importantly, Owen and Beru thoughts.

Luke growing up on Tatooine with the fierce love he had from his aunt and uncle

The pain they must have had when their life wasn’t enough for him. The fear of what would happen if he left it, looking for more. The fear of what might find him in return.

Their fear - able to fade into the background of the harsh day to day realities of surviving the desert - but always present.

Just like their love.

As they watched their sweet, impatient boy, waiting to see if he too will be consumed by darkness.

The worry that someone will look too closely, ask too much

Trying their best. Fearing they wouldn’t be enough

Then the day comes - the one they’ve been waiting for since Obi-Wan first showed up with a baby in his arms, bringing love and fear like they’ve never known before into their homestead, all wrapped up in one little bundle.

Since the Dark Jedi came for him and carried his limp body back to them, and they realized how little they could really do to protect him.

Except this time when they come Luke isn’t home. They can protect him with their silence.

Heads high, hands held together their eyes meet and they know. This is all they can give him.

And when Luke stands in that spot, he feels the trace of their fierce love. He’s flooded with their determination and devotion. He takes their strength, and carries it as his own.

That’s why he’s able to turn his back and move on. They gave him that gift.

Their love, in spite of their fear.

They were enough.

#I don’t know what came over me #but I can’t escape these feels tonight #family is so much more than blood #and I think that Obi-Wan of all people really understood this when he made this choice #owen lars #beru whitesun lars #uncle owen #aunt beru #owen and beru #luke skywalker #star wars

And what if I said some of y’all over do Taka’s part sometimes?

#I love taka as much as the next bitch but… #THEY definitely could be friends with Sasuke but I don’t think he considers them that #more like co workers #“oh but they were the only people who validated Sasuke and who understood him #I’m sorry but 🤨🤨🤨🤨 #I still like them tho #naruto #sasuke uchiha #team taka #team hebi

"Tankie" refers to people who glorify violent autocratic communist regimes. Tankies dismiss all criticism of these regimes as "western propaganda."

Tankies deny the ecocide and starvation that occurred under Mao and Stalin. They deny that 20th century communist movements were as ecocidal as capitalism. 20th century communists and socialists deliberately ignored ecological concerns. Marx himself wrote about ecology but 20th century movements deliberately sidelined that writing. They regarded those ideas as unimportant. Books on ecology like Silent Spring were restricted by many communist and socialist regimes. And so China and the USSR destroyed the ecology of half the planet while Capitalists destroyed the other half.

An ecological economist knows that growth economics is universally destructive regardless of who owns the means of production. An ecological economist knows how to engage with history and science.

A tankie only knows how to engage with propaganda and ideology.

There should be zero overlap between solarpunk and tankblr.

Okay word I didn’t know that.

#out of queue #ani rambles #answered asks #anonymous #genuinely like before now I just understood it as a general ‘Leftist I Don’t Like’ kinda insult #I didn’t know all of that. im not a history buff #i should probably google to verify but its almost 1am #i also haven’t read marx yet. i know I should but my attention span is fucking 0 #i think ive heard he mentioned some environmental stuff before tho

[i-have-no-braincells]

it’s silly meeting people who say they like pokemon. because i forget it’s a fairly common thing to like. casually enjoy. “oh yeah i like pokemon i watched the anime as a kid and played one game”. but my brain forgets that normal people exist so upon finding out someone “likes” pokemon i instantly become insane and slowly but surely realize that not everyone “likes” pokemon on the deep and neurodivergent level like i do.

#this is about the guy at my church who stupidly mentioned he was playing PLA #i don’t think he understood a word i said i think i blacked out the minute i started rambling actually #robin rants

I was reminded of a piece of the latest episode

[ID: A screenshot from the script of Juno Steel and the Next Page, part 2

Nureyev: But it it is, then I must be superhuman. Slip saved my life, and in return I was suspicious of him, and my suspicion led to his death. My life is not mine: if it was given to me by him, I must return it in kind.

End ID]

And that reminded me of something else we heard, a long time ago

[ID: A screenshot from the script of Juno Steel and the Monster’s Reflection, part 3

Juno: “You are alive. This is the gift you have been given. Use it as you see fit. Signed, Hanataba.”

End ID]

If asked, I wonder which of this Slip would ask for from Nureyev. I’m pretty sure I know… and I’m pretty sure Nureyev has been stuck too deep for too long in his own guilt to see that

#the penumbra podcast #peter nureyev #tpp #tpp spoilers #once more I am having feelings about this #I don’t think he would have freed Nureyev to ask anything of him #trust or no trust #if Nureyev had decided to run again even #I think he would’ve understood

Speaking of doll designs, an au but it’s Rykard who’s the Empyrean and with the doll form. Not sure if the doll would look like him or someone he admires, but I just KNOW for a fact unlike Ranni and her ethereal design, his would be flat out scary and intimidating. I just wonder if Blaidd would also be different too under his service, personality and lookwise

LOVE this concept. ok a while ago I made a post that was like if Rykard had been the one to make Ranni a new body, he’d have given her like a flamethrower arm and retractable sawblades. I can only imagine that if Rykard were to make himself a new body, he’d do exactly that. no hiding his identity like Ranni did. he’d go full abductor virgin. his body itself a finely crafted weapon. he’d also definitely make himself sexier

If Blaidd were Rykard’s empyrean shadow I think he’d have to be rather different in personality because I can’t see canon Blaidd vibing with the degree to which Rykard revels in violence lmao… I bet he’d also look different too because empyrean shadows are said to be “tailored” to their empyrean, and Blaidd has a unique design from Maliketh. basically I guess Blaidd as Rykard’s empyrean shadow would have to be an oc haha

I’d draw all of this if my wrist didn’t hurt… maybe someday

#asks #elden ring #rykard #ok tbh empyrean rykard might not try to slay his flesh at all though #i don’t think rykard ever understood that ranni’s aim was not just to destroy the golden order #but also to remove the meddling of gods in general #bc in his current state he intends to destroy the gods #but he’s basically becoming a new despotic god-king that feeds off of the lands between #so empyrean rykard might simply try to overthrow marika as the greater will’s new chosen heir #maybe he thinks he’ll do it different and better and bring his family justice #but all he’s doing is feeding into the same cycle

[dirty-bear-rick-sanchez]

I know we all love to imagine Rick being a huge lovestruck simp for BP in the Flesh Curtains era but alternatively: completely clueless Rick who is still a huge lovestruck simp but doesn’t even realise what he’s feeling is a crush

Like he’s an emotionally constipated pansexual man raised in an extremely homophobic era falling in love for (probably) the first time since his wife was murdered, I bet he was repressing the hell out of those feelings for a long time

#rick and morty #rnm #rick sanchez #birdperson #birdrick #young rick #flesh curtains rick #the flesh curtains #flesh curtains #this could be played for both humour and angst #’what no i just think it’s cool how he has huge wings and muscles’ #‘he’s just a cool guy that’s all’ #‘it’s totally normal for bros to admire their bros’ bodies in a completely platonic way’ #or also rick suddenly realising years down the line he’s got it bad for bp but it’s too late to do anything about it #or also (even though i don’t think his denial went on for this long but) morty confronting rick and mentioning his ‘crush’ on birdperson #and rick immediately gets defensive and is like ‘wtf i don’t have a crush shut the fuck up’ #and storms off in a sulk #and then a few hours and several drinks later is like ‘oh fuck i do have a crush’ #it would be the perfect blend of funny and sad to have rick never realise that’s what the feeling was until it’s pointed out #especially if he never really understood why he took the blood ridge thing so hard and then he does #i have a lot of birdrick thoughts and almost all of them need angst #that’s like the cornerstone of the ship

Harrow: yeah I don’t have any friends. I don’t like anyone.

Also Harrow, right after remembering everything: Damn, I wish Palamades Sextus was here.

I am a “even though he considers her annoying Yu Yiseol is Cheong Myeong’s favorite disciple” truther

#pika’s ramblings #return of the mount hua sect #return of the blossoming blade #romh #listen. listen. listen to me. #she was the first one to recognize his swordsmanship as mount hua’s now-extinct pinnacle after he reincarnated #she understood his strength immediately (which was why he thought she was annoying at the start) and respected it #and knew immediately that it was the sword she should be striving for as a disciple of mount hua regardless of him being of a younger line #and on the reverse side! #cheong myeong is severely disappointed by the skill level of the current mt hua but he acknowledged her skill as a disciple with potential #in the huazhong arc his narration outright says that she was the only second grade disciple who would have a shot #at winning if she’d participated #plus it’s implied that none of the other third grades had the guts to induct her into their training which means cheong myeong was stuck #with the job the whole time until the second grades could train on their own #which is so so funny after he spent all that time avoiding her demands that he train her #anyway. some people might say that yu yiseol is being built as the love interest (I am barely a tenth into the novel so I don’t actually #know what happens past like 200. don’t spoil it for me #but I say they’re wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!! #first of all I think cheong myeong died an 80yo virgin so write that down. #whether it was due to personal preference (aspec) or his single-minded devotion to martial arts doesn’t matter #what MATTERS is that I think yu yiseol is cut from the same cloth #the number one thing in both of their hearts is mount hua’s sword #my hc is that while baek cheon has the most raw power of the second grade disciples yu yiseol has the most skilled swordsmanship #that part’s not relevant I just wanted to mention it. #ANYWAY their first and only loves are the sword and even though their personalities are so wildly different they’re both still oddballs who #devote themselves mind body and soul to their swords. #and no matter what he thinks of her personality cheong myeong’s got to at least grudgingly approve of her dedication to the sword and #desire to improve it

between the casting of nathan fillion as movie hermes and LMM for show hermes, it’s clear that no casting director understands hermes. and i’m not a book hermes expert or anything, i don’t have all his scenes memorized, but i KNOW they aren’t getting it right!! they keep casting these silly goofy guys and they are misunderstanding the assignment!!! he comes off as this chill, laid back guy (kind of like percy’s first impression of luke) but he’s got a lot of bitterness underneath and he points fingers at all the wrong people for what happened to luke (blaming annabeth especially) but he’s still broken up over what happened to may castellan and wants to help luke but he can’t and he didn’t and he’s a bad father but still loves his son and!!!!!!!

#like that scene in (i think) tlo when hermes SNAPS at annabeth essentially blaming her for luke’s fall…. ingrained in my brain. #and i’m sorry i just don’t trust LMM to get that vibe right #tbh i still think jake abel would’ve been a fantastic hermes. he REALLY understood the assignment with luke #and i absolutely believe he would’ve been able to portray the other side of the coin #alas…. we stay losing 😔 #pjo #percy jackson #hermes (pjo) #pjotv
