#honestly I was so shook #I’ve seen remember the titans many times but not since reading trc #I heard coach yoast start talking and was like #wow his accent sounds like will patton #but couldn’t possibly be him right #WRONG #I would know that man’s voice ANYWHERE #the raven cycle #trc #will patton

Being a batfam fan is funny because people will make a post like “here’s my headcanon-“ and it’s just something that’s directly canon to the story then post about major canon events and get everything wrong.

#this post was inspired by me remembering the experience of reading death in the family #after only knowing the fanbase version and realizing oh none of that shit happened okay #like girl you don’t understand it’s so bad #Jason wasn’t even fired as Robin #He’s not accused of murdering anyone by Bruce #He’s not trying to prove himself at all he’s just looking for his mom #The reason Bruce didn’t go after him right away is because he was tracking down a goddamn nuke the Joker stole #Then after he finds it and handles the problem he helps Jason track down moms 2 and 3 #Also Jason died in like 20 minutes?? even less?? #He died in less time than it took his mother to smoke a cigarette #Bruce literally went ‘wait here I’ll be right back’ and was gone for less time than a trip to the grocery store #and then you go into the Jason Todd tag and they act like Bruce pulled the damn trigger on him #Like besties I don’t know how to tell you this he basically did everything right he possibly could have #Even him benching Jason from Robin temporarily happens so that he can get Jason into therapy about his trauma #Like the whole point is that neither of them did anything wrong bad shit just sometimes happens #That’s the tragedy. The drama. #Bruce couldn’t have made better choices in the position he was in and Jason was never going to make different ones #It was inevitable #Anyway rant over please read death in the family before I lose my mind #batfam #batman #jason todd #tim drake #dick grayson #damian wayne #bruce wayne

it’s that no one ever believed him that gets to me the most. this is a society of telepaths. and yet when the doctor finds out that the drums are real, he’s surprised. the master is surprised, elated, by the confirmation that he’s hearing something that’s really there, that this thing that’s been following him and hurting him for so long is real.

after a certain point, given that the master is Really Fucking Good at mind control and such, you have to imagine that no one could just pick up on the noise in his head with a little general telepathy. he had to choose to let the doctor in to share it. and. and okay. we need to put aside him striving to be The Best At Controlling People’s Minds in the context of him having his mind violated as a child because if i think about these two things in relation to each other i’ll throw up.

but there has to have been a point before he was so accomplished that he couldn’t have defended his own mind as easily. that he couldn’t keep someone, anyone, from delving into his head and hearing the drums. which means i must conclude, because we find out who put them in his head at all and it’s the most powerful guy on gallifrey, that when he was younger, the people around him did know. they could hear the drums. they could figure out what was done to him. but they did nothing, they said nothing, they told him he was hearing things. because if the lord president wanted to use a child for his own ends, who was going to stand up and stop him? easier to sweep it under the rug. and the master lived with that for so long that finally having just one other person hear the drums was a shock to him.

#very fun that this twist is. first of all great for end of time. but also can be used to recontextualize other bits of the master’s behavio #not even explain away but give extra meaning to. you know? #he hypnotizes people because if he can control them it’d damn well his right to do so and if they didn’t want to be mindfucked they should #have had better defenses. he’s the master and he came to conquer. and such. #but it’s also. this is now inextricable from the fact that his own mind was opened up and used against him as a child. when he couldn’t #possibly have defended himself. this past and his actions cannot be separated. #a man can have more than one motivation he can be both a little bastard who wants to rule a world because its his due since no one could #stop him. and also. it can be because there is no way to undo what was forced on him as a kid. but he can at least make sure nothing and no #one will ever control him again. he’s the master and you will obey *him*. never again the other way around. #the master #simm!master #doctor who

Not done with this drawing yet but I felt the need to share this close up of viktors squishable cheeks (the ones on his face).

#peas n guac #THATS RIGHT IM PUTTING HIM IN ANOTHER APRON #the evil Kermit in me whispers in my ear to draw him in aprons all the time and all the time I listen to evil kermit #am I making yoi characters cook again? #you bet #it’s my blog I do what I want #yuri on ice #yoi #viktor nikiforov #id in alt text #who does that hand belong to?

“A love story with a psychological interest … a rather doubtful experiment with a public who expects a certain style from an author."

— Lucy Maud Montgomery, the Selected Journals of, on the subject of 'Kilmeny of the Orchard'

#the kilmeny read-along has been sooo funny to third-party #you guys are so genius #i always felt like kilmeny was maud’s ‘gotcha’ #mostly because of this above journal entry #it felt like a total satirical play on traditional fairy tales #right down to how we see kilmeny’s life truly begin and develop and the moment she meets her ‘prince’ eric #like #right after she meets eric things progress for her… she sees herself for the first time… she perceives herself… and in the end she speaks #all things she hadn’t or couldn’t achieve without him #so here we have our damsel in distress… given growth and a beginning by a man that only wants to really trap her again #say nothing of the way kilmeny is the titular character and yet it is ERICS story #with god all things are possible and with maud all things are intentional #this feels like maud (a huge lover of fairy tales in general) having a bit of a go at these old-timey stories #how easy it is to suppose she was poking some fun at the Way of the World then too #her own existence as a woman was about to transform at the time she wrote it… she was engaged to ewen in 1908 #ANYWAY that is my whole entire 2¢ #i’m about to go like posts and make it EVERYONEs problem so RIP to y’all’s notifs #lucy maud montgomery #kilmeny of the orchard

every day someone irritates the living shit out of me with a take like this

yes that’s what the show tells us. but is the show right??? (hint: ABSOLUTELY NOT)

#u guys really watched sam sink deeper and deeper into learned helplessness after being ragdolled by everyone in his life for 15 seasons #and said ‘ah yes he finally accepted his status as a subservient object’ #and you MUST be joking abt soulless sam lmfao that was your takeaway? #dean was so desperate to get His sam back at the risk of possibly breaking his mind forever #bc sam’s normally DEAN’S moral compass and he was spiraling when sam became someone he couldn’t control (just like in s4) #soulless sam could’ve literally killed dean at any point lmao but some hardwired instinct kept him following the leader #btw this person used terrible examples as evidence of sam’s apparent Inherent Moral Depravity #I can’t trust Anyone abt this character #the only thing they’re inadvertently right abt is sam ‘trusting the wrong people’ bc he trusts DEAN after everything he’s done to him

Tell me I’m WRONG. I will not take criticism. Mikey is the only one who would use it RIGHT, the other three would be too murderous or panic at the wrong times and make things worse.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #gun #mystic weapons don’t count as guns I’m talking a GUN gun #Dr Delicate Touch shows no mercy and knows when to strike. I respect him for it. #April would also be trusted with a gun. #Possibly Casey too but I’m not sure he would want a gun #Splinter… would take no interest anyways. #the gun is a metaphor for the right to KILL btw #obviously they could all kill but I would trust Mikey the most. he knows when it’s deserved #I don’t think I have to explain why Donnie should not be trusted with a gun. #Raph couldn’t handle the responsibility #Leo… Is on principal tbh. don’t let this man kill. he’s called Donnie’s twin for a reason.

[fleshdyke]

you guys remember that time my dad killed my pet and then blamed me for it lol

#i still miss jpeg so fucking much #i remember for weeks after he died i would turn on his light in the morning and forget that he wasn’t there to greet me and it was so awful #remembering he was dead every single morning #and every few days i would put a little plant food in the tank and it was such a fucking gut punch every time #bc the cycle was disrupted now. nothing was working like how it was supposed to bc he wasn’t there anymore. those plants that lived off him #for months were the only thing i had left of him #and he told me at one point after he died ‘next time you get a betta you have to take care of it’ like FUCK YOU I DID! I FUCKING DID! #i cycled the tank and i fed him and i kept tabs on the water levels and i did all his water changes and i told my dad when he started #getting sick bc i wasn’t able to get medicine myself! and he tried to fucking gaslight me into believing that i was delusional! #bc he didn’t want to admit that he was wrong! and he refused to fucking do anything about it to the point where i was scrambling for people #i knew who could drive to take me to the fish store and get medicine #and then he fucking died! he died when i was at school and my dad just flushed him down the toilet #and he told me in the most insensitive way possible #and he tried going ‘im sorry i didnt listen to you’ or whatever like sorry’s not going to fucking cut it you killed my fucking pet #and then he went right back to blaming me for it #and then after he died my brother told me that he’d asked my dad about jpeg one time and he SAID that he was pretty much a goner #he fucking KNEW he was dying and still refused to do anythign??? for what fucking reason? bc he couldn’t admit he was ever wrong? bc he #wanted to watch me suffer? #and then for weeks i was taking care of an empty tank #bc the plants in his tank were the only thing left of him #and i couldn’t let them just sit and wither away bc that’s what i did with jpeg and i couldn’t just watch him die again #and then i moved his plants into the other 40gal and i had to look at the way the other fish ignored jpeg’s favourite anubias #and i had to take down his tank and wash all the rocks and driftwood and pack it all back up and then he was gone for real #jpeg was the first thing i was really proud of and my dad had to fucking take it from me #rambles #vent #pet death

[priestfrommidnightmass]

he could absolutely break my heart eventually. and i genuinely couldn’t care less

#god this whole thing drives me so crazy because like #i’m not constantly thinking abt when it’s going to be over and how it’ll end and all that like i usually do #of course i overthink and shit sometimes but most of the time #i’m able to remember the things he’s Actually said and done for me and not the things i’m scared he Could say. and i feel better #maybe i’ve said this before but recently i was trying to recall if there was even a single moment where he’d ever like #hurt my feelings or made me feel bad no matter how intentionally or unintentionally it was #and i literally couldn’t think of a single moment where he’d ever hurt me #so of course because i’m me i have to acknowledge there’s a Chance he could hurt me #and i like him so much that if that did happen it would probably really really upset me #but honestly i’m at a place right now where i don’t Care. and it’s crazy #i don’t care if he Could possibly break my heart eventually #because all i’m able to think of everytime i’m with him or talking to him is just how fucking great it feels #i can’t tell if this is any actual personal growth in me because just like #in general i don’t think i’ve ever felt this way abt anyone. it’s so dire #it’s so DIRE. #okay i’ll be quiet now but i’m just like #i don’t know. i just don’t feel negatively abt our relationship at all it just feels so Nice #not even any lingering paranoia can get in the way of how strongly i feel abt it #even if he’s not interested in me romantically whatsoever #he’s still one of the greatest and most supportive friends i’ve ever had and it’s. it’s really good #okay now i’m done

I have a hard time understanding why doctors will refuse to order tests for things a patient suspects they have just because they’re dismissing the idea they could have it. Like especially in the US, ultimately running a bunch of tests will cost me and my insurance more money, if I’m looking too far into something that’s nothing then I’m the one who’s out of luck, and if I’m looking into something that turns out to be something, then isn’t it good that I was better safe than sorry?

#I was listening to a thing about a guy #who had been experiencing a bunch of mysterious symptoms #and through Reddit he discovered what Cushing’s syndrome was #so he brought it up to his doctor who basically laughed at him and told him he couldn’t possibly have that #and said that he hated the internet now because people do research on these illnesses #anyways the guy found a new doctor and a specialist saw him #took one look and knew right away it was Cushing’s syndrome. ran the necessary tests. it was Cushing’s syndrome #and he got the treatment he needed #and I hear these stories all the time #and it bugs me because like #what would it have costed that first doctor #to just say ‘okay let’s check it out then’ and refer him for the tests? #literally the only explanation I can come up with #is that it’s a pride thing

I haven’t watched futurama in years and while I remembered the notable Emotionally Hard Hitting Episodes, I really forgot how deep and touching it is from the very start

#futurama #right in ep1 leela is only so hot on their heels because fry couldn’t let what happened to him happen to her too #in ep3 bender says fry is the first friend he’s ever had and completely falls apart at the possibility of not living with him anymore #even ep2 has the moment where leela finally sees the moon through fry’s eyes

so during the leaders cross talk with hayama-san and hirono-san, they played a jeopardy-esque game where they answered various trivia for points, and whoever got the most points won

at some point, they had to answer ‘what are kuukou’s robes called??’ and by circumstance, hirono-san happened to know the answer actually lol. hayama-san didn’t tho lol and after eking out a hint from hirono-san (‘we’re family right??? 🥺🥺🥺’) hayama-san guessed it was a tank top and hirono-san answered it’s called a samue. turns out they were both wrong LOL and hirono-san got humbled so quick esp when hayama-san roasted him for making him answer wrong on top of being loudly incorrect lol so hayama-san can be a bit of a sore loser lmao

if you can, pls tune into abema’s round one collab where hayama-san might be competing against fellow hypmic friends and root for him he doesn’t like to lose lmao

#this is vee speaking #i am once again pissed we aren’t getting another cross talk with the 2/3gumi because i think of hirono/hayama’s cross talk so fondly 😭😭😭😭 #like they happened to have dyed their hair the same colour and the pr vid for their show was them gushing over it 😭😭😭😭 #lol the way hayama-san kept hirono-san humble was so funny like hirono-san wound up getting another question right #but hayama-san while clapping for him courteously started chanting ‘samue’ at him LOL #and hirono-san’s absolutely delighted ‘btch????’ in response makes me weep man i miss them 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #(the best part was that the showrunners came back and said hirono-san actually was right about the samue lol) #(hayama-san’s betrayed ‘NO WAY?????’ lives rent free in my head lmao) #hayama-san was feeling a bit shy around hirono-san (he hid it very well) and had been trying to hide how entertaining he found hirono-san #but at some point hirono-san’s hirononess got to him and he couldn’t hold it in anymore #and started giggling so hard he was kicking his feet and it was so cute he’s sO CUTE IM— *exhales* #i have a bunch of little anecdotes about hayama-san’s competitive nature lol i’m excited about the possibility of getting more lol #and if the anniversary is also a big competition too i will be getting fed lmao

Addendum to previous hc post, if either Diluc or Jean were to die, Kaeya would probably end up freezing himself to death out of grief if left unchecked.

#hc; kaeya #death mention tw #//Whether unintentionally or intentionally; even he wouldn’t be able to tell in the moment #//He would isolate to try and process it all on his own right; and then lose utter sense and get overwhelmed enough for shit to hit the fan #//Never leave a grieving Kae alone #//Do I need to add tag jic #suicide mention tw #//more like implied as a residual thought but eh #//Just in case #//In all seriousness though; either of the two dying before him is the worst possible thing for him #//And the surest way to make him lose himself to despair in the worst ways #//Would most certainly see it as being punished by the gods #//Is why he frets about them both so much—he couldn’t bear it if he didn’t do his DAMNDEST to ensure their wellbeing #//Which likewise makes him all the more upset and frustrated when they decline his aid
