#but she has so many faults

Vicky: *falls down a flight of stairs, hits her head on the doorframe, drops her drink on the floor, nearly gets herself killed every other hour*

War and Hunger: Damn, that's the hottest thing I've ever seen.

i really think the fandom kind of glosses over the trauma annabeth endured in ttc. like, the poor girl fell off the side of a cliff, was manipulated into holding the literal weight of the sky on her shoulders for hours, and (if i remember correctly) was tied up at one point. but this is all we can be certain happened because that's all of what percy saw. but what about what we didn't see? the poor girl probably spent the first few days immobilized and in so much physical pain once artemis took the sky from her. she was probably starved, or at the very least, not getting the amount of food and water she needed consistently. she probably spent most of her nights in an endless cycle of torment knowing that her friends were coming for her, but not knowing how long it would take them to find her. she probably quietly cried herself to sleep knowing the reason she was even in this mess was because of luke. i could go on and on, but you get my point.

#and it's not the fandom's fault because that entire first series is in percy's perspective #and he has his own shit to deal with #so as the audience #that's what were thinking of #but so many people talk about ttc like it wasn't as good because 'annabeth wasn't there' #that's because she got HELD HOSTAGE BY THE GUY WHO PROMISED TO STAY A FAMILY WITH #fuck luke btw🤠 #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo text post #the titan's curse #annabeth chase #annabeth angst #justice for our girl

I just don’t think I’ll ever get over the way Juno and Phil understood their roles for That Scene.

Every ounce of bitterness and anger that’s rolling in waves off of Keeley while she sits in her bed just MELTING out of her when Jamie tells her it’s not her fault and then assumes responsibility. Everyone has told her how much it sucks, but no one has told her it isn’t her fault. Keeley Accountability Jones, just so angry that this ISN’T her fault and everyone wants her to admit it is, and here comes Jamie telling her it’s not her fault and apologizing. Granted, not something he needs to apologize for, but he tells her HOW the leak happened and that he’s sorry and he takes accountability. And the way Juno just floods the viewer with that relief. Incredible.

And Phil??? With the nervous energy and the guilt (facing AWAY from the door when he’s always been facing it when he shows up to her house) and the over explaining and apologizing followed by HIS relief at the forgiveness and the ACCEPTANCE OF HIS ACCOUNTABILITY and the hug he thought he would never have again.

They did such a good job, I’ll never get over it

#jamie tartt #Keeley Jones #I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THEM THANK YOU SO MUCH #their relationship development has always been so dynamic I love them #AND SHE CAN ACT HER ARSE OFF #anyway how many fics can we make from ‘no Jamie this is not your fault’ and how many can be about them confiding their csa experiences #ted lasso

Do you think Johanna settled for Anders’ despite him being so non committal and always leaving her behind because that’s the kind of love she was used to? Do you think she thought this was all she deserved? And it’s through loving Hilda so strongly that she could never dream of leaving her that she realise love isn’t supposed to work like that? Do you think she wondered if she was wrong when Hilda started to drift from her as well in season 2? Do you think she wondered if this was always how it would go?

#but she’d never say that out loud because how could she blame hilda for this #it isn’t her fault her mum has so many issues #GOD SHE MAKES ME SO INSANE #help #hilda #hilda the series #netflix hilda #hilda netflix #hilda spoilers #hilda season 3 spoilers #Hilda season 3 #anders hilda #Hilda anders #Johanna hilda #Hilda johanna #Hilda (Hilda) #textpost #hildacanon #headcanon

Jesus Christ. I've never read Yellowfang's Secret and it's insane to me that what we see of Lizard is supposed to be "evil woman" like from the screenshots you posted this is really and truly someone who is being forced to bear children. Forced to care for them. Lashing out that her husband can keep doing his job and she has to drop everything to care for children she didn't want. And that horrible shit from Ragged oh my God dude.

It's SO fucked up!! That exchange with Hollyflower is HORRIFYING!!!

Like, during the Brokenkit Handoff, she's shouting about not wanting to raise every unwanted kit and how badly she hates this, only for Raggedstar to start bellowing at her to shut her mouth. He's able to "convince" her based on on "ambition" they slapped onto the character in that moment, but when you really step back and look at the context, it just reads like she realizes she has no fucking choice

She's the only queen in the nursery. There was no "saying no"

Especially not to the deputy

NO ONE cares about Lizardstripe as a person, even though she's obviously really uncomfortable about being forced to birth and raise children

"I know she doesn't want this. That's too fucking bad. It's her duty as a woman" -Sagewhisker

I can't get over it. This book doesn't treat her like a person, it treats her like a bad vessel. She's a horrible mother because she DOESN'T WANT THIS, and the narrative condemns her, even partially blames her for A BABY-KILLING TYRANT, because she wasn't happy about the situation she was forced into.

Like... jesus christ!!

#Maybe if the woman forced through birth smiled and acted like a good mother then the Baby-Eating Tyrant wouldn't have ate so many babies #mind you this is in the series where they've gone to great. painful lengths to stress that adoption is Bad and inferior to bio-birth #characters like gray wng raise their children from birth with no knowledge of their bioparents and the kits STILL grow up more connected-- #--to their wifebeating bioparents. #You can be the ideal adoptive parent and they'll still grow up desperate to prove something #but it's lizardstripe's fault that Broken didn't feel loved enough??? When he still had his other parent??? fuck offffff #Can we PLEASE have sympathy for a person who's in an awful situation with no help obviously lashing out because it's the ONE thing she has #agency over?? #Like of course none of these poor kids deserve this #But lizardstripe DOESN'T EITHER

Haven't been following the James Somerton drama closely but it's become so ridiculous that it's funny

Is no one going to talk about the fact that he said that he thought it was okay for him to mention Vito Russo in the opening credits and then never mention him again because his book was out of print and Russo was dead....

And then in the same breath say that he was 'extending Russo's legacy' like my brother in Christ do you even hear yourself-

#hbomberguy #james somerton #vito russo #the celluloid closet #like lmao wtf #also the reason he plagiarized was because uh *clears throat* #he is ADHD and his mom had cancer and then she died and his father was grieving and he has epilepsy and memory issues and ajdjkdkskakskhdh #sorry my brain fizzled out #not saying thag life isn't harder because of all these things #BUT NONE OF THEM MADE YOU A SHITTY PERSON JAMES #THAT WAS ALL YOU. YOUR FAULT. #also apparently the other reason he took words from smaller queer creators was because people would listen to him as a cis white man #and not to them #fuck you james #hes so pathetic its funny #but then i remember how many people he has hurt #oh by the way edited versions of his videos are back up because nick should have his own portfolio #sure james sure #its all for nick

Sometimes i think of the innate bond all living beings share with their mom and sob. Some people should never be mothers, but those who are even ok at it will be forever loved and cherished. They will leave an unfillable gap for the rest of their childs life once theyre gone and when it is their childs time to pass they will cry out for their mom like they did when they were born. I can only hope once I’m taking my last breaths and call for my mother i will go into an unfamiliar light and embrace her again as i did all those years ago

#word vomit #😔 cant stop thinking about my mom #i love her #as a person she has so many faults but no matter what i do if im not with her i miss her

[blueskittlesart]

wait, the teacher makes every person's crit TAKE 20 minutes to finish? because I initially read it as you move on to the next person once it's been 20 minutes, but that's normal so that can't be what you're complaining about

homegirl set a timer on her phone for 20 minutes and made us talk about one singular piece for the entire 20 minutes. if we ran out of things to say and the timer was still going she would start calling on people and forcing them to nitpick until the timer ran out. literally traumatizing

#like a timer to prevent people from going OVER 20 minutes i understand. that makes sense. but FORCING US TO TALK FOR EXACTLY 20 MINUTES??? #i felt so bad for this one guy bc within the first 5 mins we had basically told him ‘this looks great no notes’ and then she made us nitpic #for another FIFTEEN MINUTES EVEN THOUGH THE PIECE WAS GREAT AND DIDNT NEED THAT MANY CHANGES #like at that point you’re just making people find fault where there isn’t any yknow?? why force the crit to continue #if everything meaningful has already been said? it’s discouraging for everyone involved tbh #asks

The most beautiful thing in the entire Trolls franchise will always be Branch's character in the first movie when he wanted Poppy to understand that life isn't as perfect as she thinks but when she got betrayed and hurt and lost all hope he did everything to make her happy again because he wanted her to understand the pain but not experience it because she didn't deserve that and he didn't think that others have to suffer because he did.

#i know so many people who would look at her crying and say your problems are not that bad mine were worse she literally thought her kingdom #will be cooked alive #she got betrayed by a person she trusted and for whom she risked her life #she learned that some people never change #and no one knew what to do #but branch knew he had to heal her emotional damage first and let her know that he's there for her #so many people would tell her i told you so lol i was right you were wrong at least now you understand but he knew that she deserves better #because she didn't mean any harm #and because it's not her fault that he suffered #this is so important to show #because so many people want others to suffer too just because they did #so many people want to see optimists with broken spirits because life is bad #yes it is but don't hurt innocent person for something that has happened to you years ago #the writers understood the assignment #the writers fucking understood the assignment #and she loves him so much for it #trolls movie #trolls 2016 #trolls branch #branch #Poppy #trolls poppy #trolls band together #trolls world tour #trolls holiday in harmony #trolls holiday #Broppy

why can't anyone understand that everyone is different and not everyone likes the same things and that it's completely okay AND normal for someone not to like going out and preferring to stay at home :/

#honestly i understand that my parents care about me and they don't want me to be feeling bad #and that they ask me bc they just want to make sure i'm okay #but i've explained to them what i feel like and they just don't get and i get mad but i akso know it's not their fault and just... oughhhhh #like yeah i have a weird kind of social anxiety according to my therapist and even she doesn't know exactly how to help me yet #but there are just so many reasons behind why i don't like going out and it's not just bc it gives me anxiety #or why those situations give me anxiety in the forst place #1. i'm just a very introverted person that doesn't like going out #2. crowded places/closed spaces/places where there's not enough ventilation/loud places (be it people talking or just music) overwhelme me #3. all said in 2 + flashing lights give me huge migraines that can linger for over 3 days #4. i am very much a night owl and i'm forced to live in a society where that isn't fucking acceptable apparently and i'm called lazy for - #- not being productive in the morning when the only reason behind it is that i am a lot more productive at night #but no one ket's me do that bc 'why are you doing stuff when you're supposed to be asleep?' #i have been the same since i was little. literally nothing has changed #and people where always like 'oh she's just shy' #but idk wtf changed #maybe it was that i became and 'adult' or maybe the fact that i started therapy and they told my parents that i have social anxiety. idk #but suddenly every single person in my family is worried about it and they're genuinely making me feel like there's smth wrong about me #i mean. i have my problems i'm not gonna go telling you that i'm perfect bc i'm pretty much not #but is there really smth that wrong with me that i need to fix #or is society just a bitch that doesn't understand that there's different kinds of people and everyone is different & IT'S COMPLETELY OKAY #have they ever thought about the fact that maybe these situations cause me anxiety bc i've been forced all my life to do them #even if i don't like them #instead of thinking that i don't like them BC they cause me anxiety?? #i mean. i know i have to go out more and that there's tons of things i can do ofc #but you can't just force me to do things i don't want to and put on a good face while doing it *every.fucking.day* #aaaaand i could add a lot more things but i'm once again reaching the tag limit so i shoukd just shut up #it's just driving me crazy bc i know they're trying to help but it really is not helping at all............. #ranting

In the princess Luz AU, how long would it take for Luz to start having nightmares about losing Amity? She’s obviously now someone who’s close to her, I feel like it’d mess up her nights

luz is Already having nightmares about it. admittedly they aren't very sapphic nightmares at the moment because her subconscious is a little too busy marinating in The Horrors to be gay, but. she's been having nightmares about something happening to amity ever since WAAAAYYY back when luz invoked a grimwalker of her with belos.

nowadays they just hurt more. on a personal grief level. for reasons luz cannot quantify or explain.

#luz has had. so many nightmares about amity. and grimwalkers. and grimwalker amitys. #in some amity dies but in most she's alive and suffering terribly at belos's hands and there's nothing luz can do to stop it #and belos told amity everything so amity knows everything so amity knows this is luz's fault. #replies #toh #princess luz au #lumity #....sorry for putting this in the lumity tag. and sorry i do this to like. every ship i ever have

zelink in your au or nah?

i would say there’s about as much zelink in my au as there is in the game, so…like it’s there but it’s also probably sad and doomed lol. link also isn’t there for the large majority of it, so a lot it comes down to how sheik remembers him while he’s sealed in the sacred realm and how she feels about their whole situation over a period of years. it’s kinda hard to say how their relationship is when one of them isn’t there for so much of it, and the other is constantly thinking and mulling over just their memories of them and what they could’ve done differently. but that’s also part of the reason they’re so interesting and heartbreaking to me. im blabbin but basically there isn’t NOT zelink, but it’s complicated and still sad and not necessarily the main focus

#ask #undercover sheik au #i kinda feel like link’s absence from it is part of what i like about it #not because i dont like him but because sheik’s shifting perceptions of the boy she met years ago are more interesting because of it #i kind of imagine sheik to be like…accompanied by this image he now has of link. which may or may not be accurate but it’s there #like. the kid she accidentally roped into a nightmare. her best friend for all of a few days before disaster struck #a hero who never asked to be one #the kingdom’s salvation. a tired quiet boy with dirt and blood on him and no parents #a boy who went to sleep 7 years ago and will wake up in a body and world that isn’t his own and it’s her fault #like all that. on repeat in sheik’s head almost every night for years #how scary must it have been to finally see him again after it feels like a lifetime has passed for you but none for him #i would be terrified. i would also choose to talk in riddles and watch over him from a distance for the most part #and do cool ninja moves and stuff and see if that helps #holy shit thats so many tags. goodnight

[moeblob]

Man. May I just say. I love how in this game it’s like “you have four suitors and three of them are the most repulsive men on the planet then you have this really energetic guy who wants you to step on him if he does anything bad BUT he’s trying his best”.

#variable barricade #nayuta yagami #i love this boy so much but oh my god he has so many issues he needs to work on #like thats literally every suitor but they are so slimy and then you get NAYUTA THE PUPPY #hi its not my fault the suitors have a rose color and i happen to fall for the guy with the orange rose its really not #honestly this game has such great designs hhhhhhhhhhhhhh #the art is so good for it i love how everyone looks #i havent touched this game in a while but i was thinking about it the other day like dang kinda wanna go back and try more #bc i have never played another otome where the protag is like damn talking to this guy makes me wanna vomit #she has so far stood her ground well against the repulsive suitors imo but again i am not far #please game dont make her cave too soon do not let her swoon too fast im begging you #also her female bff is a delight and i love her a lot #otome that put women side characters in it that are likeable are so amazing thank you for this gift variable barricade #also this is in fact a line of dialogue from the game and im like son what is wrong with you i love you so much #the heroine is thankfully just as put off with it

scott appreciation week (day 4) → i think it’s my fault

― Andrei Tarkovsky, Journal 1970-1986

#twedit #scottmccalledit #scottmccallweek #dont talk to me about the last gif i dont want to hear it #ive taken one art history class and the only redeeming thing about the last gif is that it kind of looks like a painting almost #with like the faded gauziness and how the tarp almost looks like brushstrokes #I TOOK ONE ART HISTORY CLASS PLEASE DONT BULLY ME ABOUT THIS #and i do think it adds to the effect. like its over. theres no fighting it. hes a saint. #the rest are in focus and vibrant and the last one is kind of blurred out. okay maybe i like it now. #anyway its really about how scott doesnt get to be a kid and so rarely are the adults in his life adults #and its not necessarily their faults. like. very many of them are also human. #deaton steps up for him a lot and melissa does her best and imo only ever really fails bc of poor writing choices #and by s6 when chris is trying to be his stepdad i think he's stepped up in a big way too #but. like. melissa raised a good kid. and shes a good mom. but life still happens and no one really talks abt how scott was parentified too #like. you gave a kid with a fixer complex supwerpowers. he is obviously going to feel the need to be a superhero #he barely got to be a kid before that and he certainly doesn't get to now which we see as early as season 1 #when he leaves his friends and girflriend in a room to hide in a room to go fight a monster #he doesnt get to hide. he doesnt get to not fight. by formality he's saying that he has to protect everyone #in fury matt shoots him in front of his mom and makes him leave her and threatens to kill her and he still cant help but show him sympathy #during his Tragic Backstory. like. scott wouldve saved matt if he couldve. i bet he thinks about matt honestly. #WAIT FUCK #FLASHING GIF TW #for the fourth andddddd seventh one #maybe the third one? im not sure but its him breaking thru the mountain ash its all glowy #anyway #scott doesnt get to be a kid and by s5 they forget that he's even a person #and by s6 they try to assert that as a positive #every villain makes him kinder but only because he doesn't have an alternative. it changes him. it can't not change him. #he can't be the same after. so it's kinder or crueler but crueler was never an option. #theyve made him into a saint by robbing him of his personhood

Anyway I hope the audience is still screaming Cha Cha Cha in their minds. I hope Käärija got serenaded backstage with people aggressively screaming Cha Cha Cha so loud he couldn't hear the sad noises of being disappointed by not winning anymore. I hope he goes home and the Finns will hold some sort of event where he'll be met with people singing Cha Cha Cha and doing the dance moves. I hope he gets a week off just to walk around different places that have put up Käärija stuff and look at all of it and see how much people loved his song. I hope Cha Cha Cha gets one billion streams and that people will also listen to his other music.

#come on. he deserved this. loreen already won once what was she even doing back there #i see people saying it's not her fault she won but no one forced her to go again now did they #that just seems really selfish to go again when that spot could have also gone to someone who wasn't already internationally known #and yes i'm including alexander rybak in that he also shouldn't have gone or been allowed to go again #actually i'll even say if you competed already you shouldn't be allowed to go again. every country has so many wonderful artists #it doesn't seem fair that an artist should be allowed to take the international spotlight like this twice #esc23 #mine #käärija #esc finland #cha cha cha bitch

Otto/Alicent is much like Daemyra where there cannot be a divorce because you cannot divorce your uncle, likewise you cannot divorce your father. Although unlike Daemyra there cannot be an actual marriage however Otto is still Alicent's husband in every way except legally.

true!! people go like ew that's her father but like they are socially married, she's the lady of his household and he's the father figure of her children. what else. it's not because i'm biased but him asking this just when he's leaving the castle as if he's the husband giving concession to an affair.....

and i don't think he really wishes it!!! he still keeps her closer than he should. like, it really feels like viserys is the interloper, not otto.

#ask #anonymous #very sorry to alicent....not my fault she has so many husbands #alicent x otto
