#either interpretation is acceptable

DFF 11 spoilers

Gonna have to rewatch that episode like 5x to catch everything, please I hope fandom heeds Perth's words and gets on the Tee -> Non train, Tee just looks so good SAD!!! and Non deserves the closure of hearing that he wasn't targeted out of true malice, or like the way it feels to him, his own innate unstoppable bullyability, but out of desperation and opportunism? You know? His sad boy rizz had 100% hooked Tee by the end and I want Non to get to see that and revel in it. Anyway right now me and the girlies are rooting for a Perth/White/Non secondary revenge team.

#perth helped non fake his death there's no other interpretation #(that i can ACCEPT) #i would be down with either white was deployed for revenge purposes (w non very much in on how much tee actually wanted him by the end) #OR perth was like white i have this guy i know who is very depressed #b/c i helped his friend? who i think he maybe unrequitedly loved? fake his death #he's very tall and def your type maybe you should go cheer him up ;) #just perth being tee's lil fairy godmother #i'll cover your shifts i'll get you laid because i do feel sorry for you cinderella #dead friend forever #i can not talk hingedly about this episode until i rewatch it at least 2 or 3 more times #dff #dff spoilers

I was so worried that they were going to full on write Din’s covert off as an actual cult this is season, and I’m so so happy that’s not that case so far.

I think there’s so much more nuance to Din’s covert that a lot of fandom don’t give it credit for. I swear, some of ya’ll act like Din is being held captive by his covert (and Bo too after the recent episode) and it’s like…they’re not.

The Armorer literally told Bo that she’s been redeemed by the way of their Creed and if she WANTS to she can join them (for however long she wants to be there), but she is free to leave any time she desires. No one is going to hold her captive there.

Same with Din. Yes, he broke his creed and became an apostate, but they didn’t hunt him down and strip him of his armor. This is the Way they follow and they’ve survived so long—have been together so long—because they stuck to is to rigidly. I love how faithful Din is to his Way. I love how much it means to him. The covert is his family. Of course he’s going to fight for it.

I don’t know, some peoples relationship with Din’s covert in this fandom is weird. Like yeah, it’s not perfect, but it’s not a full-blown cult keeping all its members locked away from the rest of the galaxy. They’re a people on the brink of extinction and doing what they can to survive.

I just think we’ve gone so long with just fanon content that it’s skewing perception on canon content.

#I don’t know #people can interpret canon how they want #but it feels like we’ve gone so long with just fanon content that people are getting completely closed off to canon content #the takes ive seen about Dins covert #idk some of them are just weird #no one is being forced to be there #it’s a choice #Din CHOSE to take off his helmet #and now he CHOOSES to redeem himself and continue the creed he’s followed his whole life #and they accepted him back with them #they accepted Bo into their group for however long she wants to be there #she’s not trapped #she can leave any time she wants #dins covert isn’t perfect #but it’s not evil either #jeez #din djarin #the mandalorian #bo katan kryze #Grogu #the armorer #disscussion #fandom discussion

Queueing to make it clear this isn't a one-time thing or vagueing a specific person and more an irritating trend, but: if you have speculation or a personal wish for a story, that is always totally cool and you can and should post about it to your heart's content but it is pretty irritating to post it on other people's theory posts unless you can construct a logical argument and relate it back to their theory.

You want to see a guest character return? Okay, pitch me how this is related to my post, and why it would make particular sense within the story. You think a ship is going to happen? Great, say something other than "Um, I have eyes" on my post if you want to reply to me. You think this campaign is going to go on until level 20? Do you have an argument other than "I want it to?" Then give it, otherwise this would really be better suited to you making your own post.

You don't need an argument in your own post! I think it's wise to have one if you have any interest in convincing other people (and indeed, I tend to find that if there's a lot of MAN WOULDN'T IT BE COOL evidence- and argument-free posts in the tag for something I wasn't already inclined to like, it will make me feel more unfavorable towards it), but if you're posting for yourself and not to make a point you can and should just say what you want! You do need one when you're shoving it onto mine though because now I'm going to get all the people responding to you and I don't want them. Also when people do this and I don't care for their theory I tend to hide the reblog, or I just make the post nonrebloggable if it takes off and I'm sufficiently annoyed, and now no one can see or respond to the theory because they didn't write your own post and I'm in control! Writing your own posts is great! Please, if you are not directly responding to the content of an original post but rather going off on your own tangent, make your own post instead of getting on theirs.

#If you sit on my lap on the bus (what is tumblr but a giant bus) and thrust your headphones in my ear unannounced you're getting pushed off! #queue #i think some people doing this are like. trying to be friendly and have a conversation but here's the problem #if you respond with like. hey. i disagree. a lot of them get REAL pissy so it's like ah you don't want a conversation you want a yes-man #and also like. the way you have a conversation is by responding directly to other people's points not just saying your own thing. #i mean. i recognize i'm saying this on a website where people act AFFRONTED if you write a post that actually contains an argument #instead of shrieking and florid prose that makes rupi kaur look like langston hughes #but like. learn to write a good argument and to respond to people based on what they said not what you already thought. #and learn to accept that writing a convincing argument =/= people will automatically agree with you #either bc of multiple valid interpretations bc there is a subjective dimension or bc one or both of you are stupid

An argument over whether or not Dan Heng is Dan Feng seems to have begun getting sparked again in certain parts of the Fandom and it does nothing but hurt my head to no end

Both sides cherrypicking or treating it like a strange situation, making false equivalents. "Yknow governments don't consider people who've lost their memories to be separate people" that's a flawed argument to use in favorite of DH = DF because it's not just he lost his memories. He literally grew up, experienced his own childhood, had a whole identity cultivated based on those experiences and that life and continues to live his own life. To treat the situation like it's just him getting a bit of amnesia is wild to me

But also I hate when people continue to insist he's running from Dan Feng and his past and how he's miserable and shouldn't ever confront the past and deal with it as if his and Blade's whole stories aren't centered around rebirth and karma, paying for your past life's karma. He needed to confront the past to ensure a freer future! He literally has!! And he will continue to do so because he realizes this, DH isn't dumb and he's grown since we first saw him. He understands

But yeah uh I'm so tired

This whole thing feels very Ship of Theseus. What makes the ship what it is, the physical aspects of its planks, its sailing history, or both?

For him, the question is what makes someone who they are? Is it the body that makes them up and any inherent genetic factors (like traits)? Is it their experiences, how they've grown up, and the identity they've developed in that time? Or is it both factors mixed together?

Personally in the case of Dan Heng, I think it's both! Yeah he has a lot of traits from Dan Feng. There's a lot inherently there. But we can't disregard his own experiences and the identity that has formed based on his history and what he's seen.

Again I can't stress this enough... It is a false equivalent to compare him to people who lose their memories or get amnesia, he didn't just lose those memories. He started life from the beginning, a whole different kind of life. And even then, the amnesia topic comes with its own debates. Isn't there a whole other thought experiment regarding someone put to trial who ends up with amnesia and what their verdict should be?

I guess in the end, it's all up to people's own philosophical beliefs after what constitutes a person. My personal belief that DH and DF will always be connect but the separation between them is also meaningful is something based on my own ideas of what consisitutes a person and their individual identity, similar situation with how I see Rukkhadevata and Nahida as connected but still not the same person exactly. At the end of the day again, it's personal beliefs

But what I can't stand and can't stand by, is someone acting all high and mighty like they're perfectly right and everyone else is wrong, especially when they're cherrypicking or not holding all their evidence to the same standard. According to some ppl, apparently it's better in the CN fandom where instead of treating it like "I'm right you're wrong" people have divided themselves into "DF and DH one person" and "DF and DH two people" groups and most importantly of all, they treat both like theories and just keep to their space and tag which they believe when it's relevant. Why can't we just do that? Why can't we follow in their footsteps instead of bringing up this argument every so often with the same tired flaws from both sides?

#Lore discussion in this community can be so tiring #I wish more people would be open to their viewpoint being challenged instead of believing they can never ever be wrong #And seeing people throw out wild accusations #Like someone saying people are transphobic if they believe dh is df like what? #I get it if you identity with dh and read it as a trans narrative personally even if I dont #Doesn't mean you can call people transphobic over it #I dunno I'm tired #Everything I see this topic I get mad #“He says you're my past in the ichor of two dragons!!” #He also says right after “But you won't follow me into my future” so your point is? #Additionally if we're being 100% real that animation feels like it's less about his rejection and eventual acceptance of DF specifically #It feels more so like his rejection of the role of Imbibitor Lunae given what I've talked about about the DF being there would never say #Any of those things how it's based on his biased view of him and is a projection of things he was told growing up likely #So I'm tired #One of the only good arguments I've ever seen to say DH is DF is in regards to how he clings to DF's old stuff #I have things to say about it personally #But it's a MILES better argument than some of the other ones I've seen and even then my arguments against it would still be an up for #Interpretation kind of thing like the initial argument rather than pointing out someone is looking at the full picture #Again I respect how people see it! Believe what you want to believe about it again it's all about our own perspectives #Just don't be a dick to people on either side if you don't agree with them #Dan heng #Dan feng #Hsr #Honkai star rail

3:35 to 4:10 in Levitate is so unbelievably comforting to me. In the best (and worst) way possible, it truly does feel like levitation.

The best way I can describe it is laying in someone's arms, lover, friend, foe or family, and simply basking in the comfort they give you. One arm wrapped, gently, around your middle, fingers tracing invisible patterns on your clothes, and the other hand softly combing through your hair as they whisper soft nothings in your ear. You're on the brink of sleep; half listening to their words and half being drawn in by the comfort of the drowsy void.

It's a warm hug that you never want to leave. (catch me replaying that part over and over)

#and then the breakdown #(since you all seem to like it so much when I get depressive with these I'll pull out my thoughts) #my mind always conjurs two things with the breakdown; death and mourning #when you think of levitation you either think of magic or death; the soul rising up to Heaven #the choir that joins Vessel singing are angels as he tries to comfort the person dying in his arms. #the breakdown is when he finally realises that's it; they're gone #he brought down Heaven like an ancient bygone for them knowing their own wings wouldn't find it #but by God he'll scream and cry and year himself inside out over it even if he told himself that he would accept it #('death' can either be interpreted as actual death or the act of leaving someone for good -> #those last few seconds of calm is having one last moment with them before they rise to where he can't reach them) #if you can't tell I'm in my sad yearning hours because I didn't sleep last night and I'm stressed about trying to get tickets but we ball 💪 #sleep token #st #sleep token analysis #levitate (song) #levitate #sundowning #mel's rambles

as a Rebecca enjoyer I would really like to see some options in book 4 digging into how little has changed if your detective is seeking or ambivalent to reconciliation, or the absence of apologies. As well as detectives who aren’t seeking/rejecting reconciliation but Rebecca cannot let go of anyways. Especially since we’ve now had one of the few times, according to the detective’s memory, Rebecca explicitly expressing regret for her actions.

#I kind of disagree w most people that the narrative is pushing you into forgiving her #kind of. #I think wayhaven’s writing style is intentionally pretty transparent to the reader on character motivations #even when they/the detective aren’t explicitly aware #there’s enough context clues to get an idea of what’s sitting underneath the surface #so I think the emphasis on Rebecca’s grief around her kid is more about telling the audience that her feelings on these matters ARE sincere #in nature. at least to how Rebecca interprets then #but what id enjoy seeing some more of in book 4 is the choice to pull open the conflicts happening here #Rebecca runs away AND engages w the detective irrespective of their wishes because she simultaneously cannot accept this relationship as #broken beyond repair AND is unable to acknowledge to herself the core issue to their relationship #the job was an obstacle yeah but the true conflict to their relationship is Rebecca’s avoidance w dealing w grief #and it results in what we see in either relationship state #I can’t let you go/I can’t believe it’s broken beyond repair <- can’t acknowledge what I chose to do #I can’t break down these walls/won’t spend time with you <- won’t acknowledge I ran away from you out of grief #and I think the next step narrative wise now that the tone to their relationship has gone through the big revalation arcs #is to start unpacking the WHYS #allow the detective to have those hard conversations and deal w whether Rebecca runs away from those or not #tunes talks wayhaven

I saw this Tiktok talking about how the proportions on Yuma are closer to a child character rather than an adult, which means Yuma is very much minor coded, and like ?? Thank you ?? That is a boy !!

an interesting thing abt jgy antis is like. where is the source of their, shall we say, negative opinion of jgy? like, 1. jgy is a villain, he does horrible things with no remorse, he’s willing to do everything to achieve his selfish, egotistical goals. --> 2. the source of this claim: this, this and this scene. --> 3. alright, but to me -- says someone who’s not an anti -- this reads differently. that he did all those things, and did them on purpose and without remorse, is not that obvious to me. why do you think that? --> 4. well, obviously because he’s a villain and does horrible things with no remorse.

like... he’s evil because he does bad things, and he does bad things because he’s evil. i’m interested in how antis came by those opinions, but a, unfortunately i have them all blocked, and b, even if i or someone else made a poll, it wouldn’t be authentic because no sane anti is going to say “well, people hated him and wrote all those things about him on twt, so i started hating him as well”, or “i only care about wgxn, you could sell me anything about other characters if your arguments were convincing enough because i zoned out during the parts when wgxn weren’t on screen/pages of the book”. it’s all “written in the book/shown in the show” and “logical arguments you’d agree with if only you could read”.

#thinking back to my early c/q/l days where i reblogged this dumb ass meta abt how jgy FOR SURE pushed lxc away because he WANTED HIM #to be tormented by uncertainty forever. like 'the worst person you know just saved your life; what now' kinda thing #i was like oh... THIS IS SO RIGHT... because it felt bittersweet and painful and i am Still guilty of accepting/agreeing with headcanons #or interpretations that aren't 100% what i think because i have this ingrained idea that other people are always more mature and #sophisticated and smarter than me and so they Know Better #the person (i think?) later went on to write a meta abt how jgy is a badwrong narcissist. so #(this is also the reason why i spent months praising and getting excited abt a fic where jgy was dating nmj for like a decade despite #not loving him; and why he cheated on him many times with lxc Just Because. i didn't think jgy would do something like that but everyone #else was like omg this is SOOOOO good so i was like shit i guess it is! IT'S SOOOO GOOD OMG;;;;; have i mentioned i have no brain on #my own? yea) #anyway i'm not gonna paint myself as this genius from the first watch because I Too had wgxn goggles fucking ON and didn't even notice #the box hand touch during my first watch. (have i mentioned i am not very smart or observant) and when wwx was whistling ghosts at jgy #and jgy was clearly Going Thru It in the guanyin temple i was like 'haha good for him' #but iirc i Was nonetheless drawn to him (although xy was first <3) and it was like. well he's evilbad but maybe he felt bad when he murdered #his child? --> well maybe he's not 100% evilbad... maybe... --------------> a-yao did nothing wrong and i will kill you if you even suggest #otherwise. (<-- a joke.) #anyway a whole bunch of antis seem like kindasorta stuck in that initial wgxn-centered; everyone else either has 2 personality traits Max #or is either wgxn allies (good) or wgxn Haters (we hates them forever!) just like. unwilling to accept any new viewpoints At All #and then there are Types of those jgy antis because you have people who hate him for Other Reasons and people who hate them because they. #honestly seem like they've only read moralistic books for young children where the brave kind hero is the one you're supposed to cheer for #and want to be like; and the villain has all the traits you're supposed to know are Bad (mean greedy selfish lazy etc) AND NOTHING ELSE. #its like that *man who only saw boss baby watching another movie* damn this is giving me some serious boss baby vibes ! meme #anyway. love it when the tags are 3x longer than the post. cheers #shrimp thoughts

It's always a bit concerning when different meta turns into something akin to discourse.

#did i miss like a whole chapter of tumblr stuff while i was at con ?? #i stick by everyone has their right to their own opinions and interpretations and whatever #but i dislike how one singular person is considered the expert and is put on a pedestal. #to the point that they're mentioned when someone doesn't agree with a take #unless they're the creator i'm not taking what they say as canon. at all. widely accepted or not. because it /isn't/. #because widely accepted doesn't equal accurate or right #no matter how well researched it is either. because i still don't think one singular person is 100% right when it comes to /everything/. #except the creator or creators themselves #popularity is just popularity #also yeah i'm bias too because i really really dislike a lot of their takes and could counter a lot of them too but it's pointless. #there can be good interpretations and shitty interpretations. but that's the beauty of fandom spaces #thank you for coming to my tedtalk #personal #i would love to post my own meta and probably will sometime when i grow a second braincell. so it's a little less jumbled insanity. #also it's mostly krauser centric so that has little to no bearing on leon. #also we're talking about a series that's almost as old as me #that has multiple timelines and retcons and inconsistencies and a novelization and live action movies. #like /come on people./ #we all know where i stand when it comes to ID too tbh

Okay OKAY IM A BIT LATE (As in days late) SO UH RIGHT SO SORRY ABOUT THAT-

BUT HAVE THIS I FINALLY FINISHED IT

Happy Birthday Big Green! :]

For context: it basically is like "Oh this is what happened during his birthday!"

To explain further, the first scene is the public celebration of his birthday (being that I envisioned it happening in a museum), the second scene is yknow.. Contiplating life. WHILE WHILE- The third scene is just him celebrating his birthday with Truro, just the two of them :D (They spent the rest of the night hanging out with eachother that's why it's near sunrise)

#note that Truro and Scot's relationship here can be interpreted as either platonic or/and romantic #Im not set on what their dynamic would be in my au but I just placed it as “Old friends who accepted eachother's company” #Happy Birthday big green :] #ttte #the candle-lit railways au #tc-lrau #funfact: I was supposed to add like a ghost-gordon typenthing behind Scot during the second scene BUT LORD MY STORAGE WAS NEAR DEAD BEJQHDJ #cheesy designs

this would be such a buzzkill thing to do and i won't do it anyway because it's impractical and That Sign Won't Stop Me Because I Can't Read but i feel such a need to add a "please don't be playfully rude with me if we're strangers" disclaimer on my art blog/posts from now on because several times already i can't tell if a rando is genuinely dissing me or if they're just trying to be sarcastic and funny but i don't know them enough to recognise that's their sense of humour

#why is this such an accepted thing to do. i don't know you. #also am fully aware of how impractical it would be to add this disclaimer bc ppl have different standards for what's rude or not etc #but like surely you can think to yourself 'will they interpret this as an insult because they don't know me' #idk. usually i'm ok with snarky comments on my art because i know tumblr is a snarky place and half the time i post joke stuff #but sometimes yall can be a bit much and i stop being able to tell lol and it doesn't help that i have the Misses Social Cues Disorder #i'm not saying i'm immune to missing the mark either but at some point even i would think oh that's just straight up mean #and if you DO have an issue with what i post why not just block me??

WIP Wednesday: I'm Not Alone, and Neither Are You

The original idea for 'Name', but it has more of a focus on Leon and the fourth 'prince's' scenes together.

Regular warnings: raw writing, not edited, more like glorified notes than anything. It had been a while since I had done Leon's route, so some things I'm sure I got wrong, but this is an AU where the original prince has a different gender than was in canon, so I think I have some leeway in making shit up.

----

"Prince Leon," a snide voice called to the figure on the bed, startling them as a young boy with black hair and golden eyes was thrown onto the floor.

"Meet… Prince Leon."

The boy on the floor, covered in scratches and bruises, gritted his teeth and looked up at the figure on the bed, seeing the same black hair and golden eyes staring back at him, widened with fright.

Slowly, the child on the bed swallowed their fright, hand on their chest.

"Please be kinder to him," the voice was gentle despite the fright running through them.

"Only what is required of me, little brat." The snide man chuckled, "I'll leave you two to become better acquainted. You'll be spending quite a lot of time together, after all."

With a laugh and a loud slamming door, the man left, leaving the two children that looked like perfect mirrors of each other.

"Umm," the child on the bed said, "I… I'm sorry for all of this. I-I'm sure that Mother has compensated your family for this but I-"

"I don't have a family." the boy said bluntly, making the child on the bed recede further away.

"Oh. Oh, I'm so sorry I-"

"That man picked me up from the quarry for a copper penny. I didn't have a family to begin with. Don't know my parents. No mama or papa to speak of. Nothing but work since I was born."

"So, a slave boy then… I'm sorr-"

"Stop apologizing."

The child stopped, biting their lip and clenching their hands in the white sheets.

"Why are you in bed?" The boy questioned, "it's the middle of the day."

The child touched their chest once again.

"My heart acts funny when I get too excited. It's… it's why you were brought here."

"I dunno how to fix funny hearts."

"Not to fix me. The palace physiker has already tried. You're here… to be me, Leon Dompteur."

"Be Leon Dompteur?"

"You're…. You're going to be my replacement. I'm not supposed to live much longer, because my heart acts funny sometimes. So you were bought to become me."

"Sounds stupid."

"It is." the child sighed, breathing slowly and careful. "But Mother doesn't want the secret getting out about me dying. Or… about my other secret."

"Other secret?"

-----------

[Later, on more friendly terms]

"When we are alone, I would prefer it if you would call me Leona."

"Leona?"

"Yes," she smiled sadly, "Since… well, it won't be my name for much longer, I would like to be called something I feel suits me better. And, Leon is going to be your name from now on, after all."

"You still have some attachment to your old name though. You could go all out and choose a more fantastical as your name."

"I think I like Leona best, since I was called Leon for so long. Something completely different might not register."

"Heh, whatever, Princess Leona."

She smiled.

"What was your name before?"

"Before?" He quirked an eyebrow, "don't know. No one ever gave me a name."

"Then, I'm giving you my name."

"A princess's hand-me-downs. How gracious of you."

"Is there another name you would like to be called then?"

"Not really. I kinda like Leon. Like a lion."

Leona smiled,

"You are very fierce and brave. It suits you."

"Your brother's the one the start the fight. I just had to defend myself."

"He tends to be like that, the few times I've met with him."

"Do you think it's because he's suspicious of me?"

"Chevalier is rather perceptive, it can be frightening sometimes."

"He was fun to fight though. Didn't hold anything back."

"Please be nice to my brothers, Leon. They'll soon be your brothers too, you know."

"You're far too nice when it comes to them. They're you're half-brothers."

"I know," the girl sighed, sipping tea, "I wish I knew all of them better, to not have to hide myself away from them."

Leon frowned.

"Do they know you're actually a girl?"

She shook her head.

"No, they only know of me as the fourth prince. It would not surprise me if Chevalier knew, however."

"Yeah, that guy is scary smart." Leon scratched his head. "Crazy good with a sword too."

I'm actually going to bring this up again but my headcanon that Optimus calls too many colors red and that it's lead to funny conversations

#it's most definitely not canon compliant but idc he/she/they Starscream isn't either but i still refer to her with all pronouns #tfp au #tfp optimus prime #He's learned the slight differences between colors but he interprets it as different shades of red #spoiler alert: hes colorblind and very much cannot see red at all #he's called Ratchet red which i mean is very acceptable and considering who you ask can be correct #he's called elita one red which the 'bots can let slide even though she's technically closer to coral/salmon/pink #but the moment he calls Bumblebee red everyone's gonna look at him like he's gone mad #this wavers between a hc because it's funny and a hc that has very interesting implications #because I'm pretty sure that the two colors you're most likely to learn first in Cybertronian society are red and blue

Can't BELIEVE that the RD fandom is sleeping on the "You've (Rimmer) ruined him (Lister)" quote from the scary accented hologram lady in Back to Earth. Much more to say but can't put it into words at the moment.

I'm not even IN the fandom wow oh no #either way it shows how much they HAVE changed each other to become better people that the rest of the world can't accept because #they each have roles and duties to perform yada yada that really is just from Supernatural isn't it. oh no. #cos Lister's supposed to save humanity and bring everyone back #restore life humanity and morality #a sense of being #he isn't supposed to be a depressed alcoholic drifiting meaninglessly through soace and time whilst being harassed and endangered by #a dead delusional low-ranking member of a mining ship #but they both chlose to tolerate each other and maybe learn something along the way #maybe the REAL friends are the people we harass to the brink of insanity along the way<3 #can be interpreted as shipping or just comradery like I have
