#concessions to love

Which Link is Caesar to be stabbed (with fake knives)? Who’s the chain ganging up on (for fun) and why?

My immediate thought was Warriors— he could drape his scarf like a toga, and he’d be nice and dramatic about it, Really ham it up to the point where whoever is watching this production (some Zeldas maybe? Malon? Wind’s grandma and Aryll?) is totally enthralled. Problem is, having several people ganging up on him with knives (even fake ones) might not bring up the greatest memories 😅

So my revised pick would be... Legend. He has the dramatics for the role, I personally think he’s a pretty good actor, and (very probably) knows the hylian equivalent of Latin. He’s the perfect Caesar. Plus if they’re in Legend’s time, then...

Et tu, Ravio?

#actually ravio is running the concessions but that made me laugh #I also think time would be funny #but I feel like he’d have a very wooden acting style #Time in the most monotone voice anyone has ever heard: et tu brute. #answers from the floor #lovely breannasfluff #linkeduniverse #linked universe

#Doodles #Adventure Time #Fionna and Cake #Simon Petrikov #Golbetty #It's not exactly Petrigrof but like - it's not Not that either lol #I'm really really happy that the show acknowledges that Simon was selfish in his and Betty's relationship - it's Very Good #And at the same time in it's small way Beth does give the concession of ''I guess that wasn't exactly [his] fault'' #They're both called out! Betty's obsession with Simon caused her own self-destruction - and she takes responsibility for it #Simon is still shafted with the consequences but it's not like Betty doesn't get her own consequences #This whole journey is just more consequences of both of their actions! Of what Betty modeled she was willing to give up! #And Simon loves her. He respects her. He was selfish and self-driven but that didn't stop her from taking root and inspiring him in return #Her being self-sacrificing and then in her own selfish way not letting Simon make the same mistakes as her I just hhhhh #They're so lovely ♥ #It's a bit matronizing of her haha but she Wants with her entire essence - she always has <3 #It's her turn to be selfish Simon has had his turn - she won't let him throw away her gift as much as he wants to #They're just both so beautifully flawed ahhhhh <3 <3 #''We made our choices. We could've made better ones but...I don't have any regrets.'' #It's about breaking the cycle! Of him rejecting making the same mistakes! It's beautiful ;; #Also all the halo imagery drives me nuts ♥ Angel bf and his cosmic goddess gf

one day we’ll talk about how extremely xenophobic the atla fandom is in how they justify the original cast’s horrible writing in the (more western 😃) sequel series by demeaning and degrading the cultures that they’re based on

starting with: aang being a bad dad makes sense because he grew up with monks and didn’t have a biological father

how utterly disgusting and weird. but honestly i just feel bad that so many of you have been brainwashed so effectively

meanwhile zuko is, according to the fandom, a good father and that makes sense despite his biological father being abusive for his entire childhood

but watch they will bring up iroh as if aang didn’t have gyatso

watch how they will complain about toph being a cop despite her last canon appearance being a 12 year old just like aang

watch how they will criticize katara and sokka’s (lack of) character development while claim that aang was written perfectly.

#atla #pro aang #pro gaang #their writing was terrible all around and it’s ok to admit that #making concessions for one character and not the rest frankly makes you a hypocrite #and do you not see how aang being an alleged deadbeat reflects on katara who you claim to like so much #pro katara #anti atla fandom #lok critical #defending a whole tv show is crazy #anti bryke #love how the creators suck until it suits you also #yt men making an entire franchise on the backs of asiatic and indigenous cultures was a MISTAKE #packaging it to a western mostly yt audience was an even bigger mistake

I said, "Can I examine the dead human now?" Indah just looked tired. "Can you humor me and please refer to the victim as 'the deceased' or 'the victim' during the course of the investigation?" She turned to go, not waiting for an answer. She missed Mensah mouthing the words stop it at me. (Fugitive Telemetry, 12-13) Thiago was standing out on said observation deck, trying to reason with a potential target. (That’s "potential" per the earlier conversation where Dr. Arada said Oh SecUnit, I wish you wouldn’t call people "targets" and Thiago had given me the look that usually means It just wants an excuse to kill someone.) (Network Effect, 9)

ugh, hate it when these special snowflakes ask me not to refer to people as "the dead human" or [checks notes] "the human who i'm gonna kill here in a minute," sooo annoying 🙄

#guess who has finally started the network effect reread slash notetaking endeavor? this guy! #and this is the very first thing i noticed #(i feel i should clarify that page 9 is the first page in my copy lol. i can be observant! when i try really hard!) #i just love mb's push-and-pull between how it wants to refer to things and how the humans want it to refer to them #and how it like. snarkily corrects itself in its narration in such a way that you can just feel the eyeroll #e.g. 'Prematurely eliminating the visible targets (excuse me‚ potential targets) on deck #might just tip us out of incipient shitshow into full-on shitshow.' #or how in FT it starts saying 'the deceased' when talking to indah but continues using 'the dead human' in its internal monologue #WHICH i just think is INCHERESTING especially alongside mb's crankiness about very benign preservation naming conventions #it wants to use the words it wants to use! this is a display of independence! but hey guess what mb sometimes #other people have rights too lmao and yeah sometimes you gotta make concessions to their delicate little sensibilities #like ''not wanting to think of people as 'dead members of my species' or 'about-to-be-dead members of my species''' #murderbot #mb identifiers #mb categorization #the murderbot diaries #my posts #f #linked to #i also think it's funny that mb took arada's feedback and just added the word 'potential'. like i don't think that's arada's problem here? #AND it's interesting that later when mb is doing the dramatic rescue it decides 'at the last second' #to change from 'kill-hits' to 'wound-hits' because 'Thinking of Arada’s sad face made me too uncomfortable' #HMM. MUCH 2 THINK ABOUT

also. what would authors even do if they couldn't have jewish characters alert other characters about how they don't eat pork

#i'm sorry it's FINE it's fine it's allowed it's just that ive never kept kosher and i don't think i even knew anyone who did growing up #at least not sufficiently that i like. knew that they did?? so no one i knew well enough to eat a meal with. #we didn't use much pork or anything but we were certainly a bacon and shellfish-loving household and this was. extremely normal #like you didn't bring pork/shellfish foods to temple events but that was literally the only concession and u would joke about it w ppl. #again i don't actually know enough jewish history to know at what points in history secular city jews weren't keeping kosher #maybe this is exclusively modern. i mean no fucking way it is but yk. maybe. #but it also smacks of like. people are soooo glad they have this special Thing to use to Show Not Tell the jewishness #and it's fine! it's literally fine. but it's so funny to me having the special mark of my people in [~socially-just genre lit] books #be a sentence im never going to say in my whole life #box opener #sorry lmao. found something to post about it appears #bookbox

is it normal to need to talk to someone every single day even tho theyre avoidantly attached and feel like theyre forcing themselves to talk to u when they do but u actually want to d!e when they dont talk to u for days. so like what now do we both just die

#im tired im so fucking tired #why do i always have to be the freak #always always all my life #always have to be the one thats more attached #always have to be attached to the ones w avoidant attachment #because i love pain #im always at fault and always way too weird and overbearing #and obsessed #always have to be the one making concessions #always unloved #always rhe loser freak #anyways

Soft pretzels are absolutely amazing and a fucking lifesaver when at an event

#isa babble #was starting to feel kinda out of it #and while lunch is soon it was too far away for me to be comfortable waiting #so i needed Something to eat Now #and soft pretzel is a lovely safe bet at concessions #bread + salt #for once not complaining about how salty the pretzels are #good stuff

email from school abt a seminar for "women and people who identify as women" i am so fucking tired

#what does that MEAN. what does it mean #like. 'people we think are women and i guess anyone else brave enough to come'?? #genuinely might be worse than 'women femmes and nbs' which already enrages me #levi.txt #sometimes i feel like weve made so many concessions in the past to make cis people understand and feel as unthreatened by us as possible #'identify as' language/'preferred' pronouns/using the terms afab+amab outside of necessity/etc etc #like. its not a fucking option! theres no 'can i have coke' 'is a pepsi ok instead' here! #it feels like collectively saying 'you dont REALLY have to think of me as i am dw i know thats way too hard just please pretend at least' #i love that were moving away from that as a community (and from respectability politics/begging for scraps in general) #and i dont blame anyone in the community for the genesis of this language bc were all just trying our best out here. i get it i really do #but god. its done some damage i think

My biggest material weakness is earrings and I fully admit to that and it's just. I will not buy myself more funky earrings from Etsy. I will not buy myself more funky earrings from Etsy. I will not buy myself more funky earrings from Etsy.

do you guys think my friends new boyfriend will feel threatened if i give her a handwritten valentines card with a box of sweethearts. because ive been doing this for my friends for years but i only met her a few months ago so while i do have seniority its not enough to be noteworthy. and like. its a new relationship. i should text by allistic interpreter about this i think bc while my new friend is not allistic its probably safe to assume the boyfriend is....

#my thots #much to think about #ive drafted all my notes already including the ones for some of my beloved mutuals so! #i am In the Valentines Spirit! #ive started handwriting notes but hers is last on the roster because i Just Dont Know yk? yk #guy who truly believes it all comes down to love voice I Am Excited For Valentines A Normal Amount #its barely even a romantic holiday to me outside of making concessions for my friends in relationships its just abt love <3

anna from supernatural was at the community theatre show i went to today not clickbait. i did not say hi

#she's also larry's beard in doom patrol <3 #like she wasnt in the show she was there with her family #i did a double take when i saw her in the concession line then immediately googled her to make sure i was right #and shes local so like. yeah it was her. #i think if i'd like seen her around town at like. starbucks or something i would maybe say something #but like she was seeing a musical with her husband and kid it didnt feel like the time #it was cool though #my other 'celebrity' encounter (outside of stagedoors lol) was seeing christine adams (simone from pushing daisies) #in the audience at angels in america #so i guess this is just a trend for me #anyway love that both anna and cas are from wmass lol #r.txt

i missed that class what dont you like about starlins rendition of their relationship?

(and also like, DID you think he did something in particular well or was it all…meh

the crux of my issues in this regard stems from batman #416. in the post-crisis era you began to see this way more lopsided depiction of bruce and dick's relationship wherein the former was portrayed to be almost.. bitter that dick had moved on to establish his own life. and it stood in great, great contrast to the bruce of the pre-crisis era, who was certainly devastated at the realization that dick was growing up, but also very intent for him to find his own happiness and way in life. they would have their disagreements on occasion (e.g., bruce initially disapproving of dick dropping out of college, bruce immediately taking leadership of a situation where the titans were involved when dick was better equipped to handle it, etc.) but the outcome of those situations was never outright bad yknow. bruce was very much capable of recognizing where he might have overstepped and subsequently stepped back to let dick have his own space. and i think initially max allan collins expanded on that dynamic in the post-crisis era in interesting ways by juxtaposing bruce's desire to see dick flourish against his own constant fear for dick's life. so instead of mike w. barr's comedic and lighthearted backup stories in early 80s tec where bruce disguised himself to keep an eye on dick's shenanigans and assure himself everything was going alright, you got this more serious confrontation within bruce with regards to his position as a parent. i don't think a lot of people read it that deeply but i've always viewed batman #408 as one of the most sensible depictions of that dilemma. the general complaints tend to be that this issue robbed dick of his pre-crisis decision to retire robin on his own, and i'll concede that as a worthwhile concern. but i don't think it's esp damning what with the implication that bruce no longer wants to be the person indirectly making the decision for dick to continue to be in this line of work. their moment at dick's bedside is less about bruce robbing him of the decision and more about him saying, if i let you still be robin, that's a direct reflection on me, bc i'm the one who got you to do all of this originally. i'm the one who put you directly in harm's way. if you're going to do this from now on, you need to do it on your own terms. you need to decide for yourself that this is who you want to be, without your relationship with me even being a factor.

it's a moment contributive to that delicious dynamic between them wherein every decision bruce takes to service dick's agency is inevitably read the wrong way by the latter to imply that he's not valued or not worthy of being seen as bruce's equal (and before the hounds pounce on me this obv does not include the increasingly abusive depiction of their relationship as the 90s progressed). that is an unavoidable dilemma when you're simultaneously someone's ward/adopted son and also their partner-in-crime! dick wants to be bruce's son and to be entitled to all of the love and care and protection that that entails but he also wants to be bruce's brother, his equal, his confidante, the one person he trusts more than anyone else in the world, etc. it's a tough place to be! it is paradoxical! and i'm so, so open to seeing that explored and think the way collins attempted to approach it in #408 was marvelous. but the way starlin (and other writers as well) totally swerved right in #416 to create this sudden resentment in bruce that dick had grown out of needing him was.. so utterly bizarre. like completely out of left field in a way i don't understand why people don't question it anymore bc in light of everything in the immediate fifteen years prior to the crisis it makes so little sense. their relationship with each other was so valued, bruce was so anxious to see dick establish himself while nonetheless maintaining a protectiveness over him, but it was all very much in good will even if he could overstep on occasion. it had all of the potential to allow for a very nuanced, empathetic exploration into the dilemmas of parenthood and esp when you are someone like bruce who has to forever live and contend with the crime of taking kids with him out onto the streets. bc he has to feel guilty! there is no escaping it. this is history, done and dusted forever, can't go back in time, so on and so forth. whatever harm comes any robin's way he has to live with as in some part being traceable back to his own actions. and i frankly believe that would be far more likely to evoke grief and anxiousness and concern than it would be bitterness that his son is charting out his own life

#as to do i think starlin did anything well. hmm #i like that he was able to acknowledge that jason's parents were loving people despite their circumstances #it didn't matter that willis was a criminal. what mattered was that he loved his family and would've done anything for them #which was a rare concession from starlin bc his writing could be pretty classist elsewhere #but at the same time idk sometimes i read it back and it's like. i don't think he was actually as classist as winick was ultimately #like it's been a While since i reread the starlin issues #but you could tell he believed jason's demise was less about his social class and more about being unable to fully recover from #or process his trauma as a result of the life he'd lived and the things he'd experience. hence the garzonas saga #and even in a death in the family the question is never about whether jason is acting out bc he's criminally inclined #bruce explicitly says he doesn't think he's given jason enough time to mentally and emotionally recover and that's why #he suspends him. so even starlin knew it was about the trauma first and foremost #and i mean that somewhat goes in line with his reasons for wanting to kill robin to begin with #he thought robin was symbolically representative of child abuse #in that it wasn't the conduit through which a young boy should necessarily grow #and ideally? the way to explore that in a medium that Requires the existence of child vigilantes #would have been to make the distinction that while there is always going to be some danger to every robin at the end of the day #what made the danger to jason distinct was that robin didn't work to resolve His trauma specifically #what robin did for dick is never something it could have done for jason let alone tim. there were too many other factors at play #so if this dilemma had been approached that way rather than starlin pursuing a blanket robin is child abuse ideology #that was subsequently picked up by other writers. then i think we might have gotten somewhere quite interesting #but anyway yeah so he's not my most hated by any means. there are parts i love there are parts i hate #ultimately at the end of the day winick will always be a gazillion times worse #outbox
