[ID: 7 gifs from season 2, episode 20 “the maquis, part 1” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show benjamin sisko and gul dukat in runabout with sisko piloting it.

1st gif: benjamin comments idly while piloting the runabout, "i've heard they put cardassian children in intense mind training programs when they're four years old." he turns his head to face dukat, "is that true?

2nd gif: "the cardassian educational system is unparalleled in the quadrant." dukat brags. benjamin looks straight ahead.

3rd gif: "if you don't mind taking the joy out of growing up." benjamin replies.

4th gif: "education is power. joy is vulnerability." dukat preaches, shocking sisko, who instantly replies, "what?"

5th, 6th gif: dukat turns a bit to face sisko, "your reaction surprises me, commander. i thought you would understand. of all the humans i've met, you strike me as the most joyless and the least vulnerable."

7th gif: "i am when i'm with you." sisko replies, much to dukat's amusements who laughs upon hearing this. /end ID]

the alt. thanks to them opening boards are going to emotionally scar me for life. look at his face. luz is terrified but desperate with a hope she feels is unfounded, needing that optimism to imagine a way out of this that doesn't hurt; that doesn't end in more tragedy?

she thinks they're on the same level of bad but sad. that she did as much as hunter in the name of helping belos, without knowing the whole truth of who belos was, who he is. she's traumatized by it.

she needs to not be alone in it.

the i'll keep your secret if you keep mine is a knife to the heart. we are in this together, she is saying. whether we like it or not, at least we have each other. at least i'm not alone.

but what do you say to that? how do you make a witch's oath without magic? you take it to heart. you hold it closer to anything. there aren't words for a devotion like that, the kind of devotion hunter has led with his entire life, and now, here, it's for luz. it's for everyone, for protecting them, to be able for them to get home again.

it's reminiscent of that good old golden guard loyalty, but remade in the light of this new world, new life. it's a cause to live by, a goal, a dream; and as the story goes, we can see - there isn't much he isn't willing to sacrifice for it, especially if the cost is only himself.

(he has nothing to return for, after all. he has a graveyard, filled to the brim with bones and masks and a future he only narrowly escaped.)

sacrifice - that is something he's been waiting for his whole life. so of course he's willing to risk everything for them. what better ending is there, where at the very least, his friends can go home to where they are loved? where no one has to be afraid, anymore?

#toh analysis #the owl house #thanks to them #toh storyboards #the owl house storyboards #hunter toh #luz toh #hey u ever think ab how hunter has been trained AND made to be a sacrifice his entire life? for phillip and the coven? #u ever think ab that frame they cut of the end of the danger deep water battle w/ belos possessing hunter at the end of the ep. #his small; shrew smile he gives after 'never hurt anyone ever again'? #i think of that and the smile he gave at the end of hunting palismen. the smile of acceptance. of i am doing all that i can; #of i am doing what is Right. it's the same thing here. that determination. that need to do what is Right. #obsessed with his ARCCCC look at how much he has changed and yet how some things stay! #how it's almost FORESHADOWED right here in this moment? the soft nod of i'm here with you? i will make sure you're not alone? #bc of course it ends in sacrifice. of course he would give everything for them; their kindness; their love n acceptance? #how couldn't he!!!! it's what he wanted + waited for his entire life and the meaning of that? the power of it? magic of friendship 🥺💛 #and then flap :( which he would never expect. why would anyone sacrifice for Him? it's only supposed to be the other way around? #the hurt of it!!!! the love!!! the way he is never prepared in the face of it!!! i'm so normal ab this !!!!!

huge shoutout to the empress eyes for establishing that ice kings diary goes so far back that it has entries from when, so far as we can figure out from context, simon was still somewhat sane. Meaning that 1. he has NOT written in that very much to still be using the same book after literal centuries 2. This ^ Is Simon’s Diary

#but like rly i am so pepe silvia abt the implications that this ep + f&c ep7 have abt simon after leaving marcy…….. #is it mean to simon that im a little sad we’ve never seen anything from that part of his life #that nightmare time where hesjust waiting until he finally fully loses it #and has to miss marcy and feel almost as guilty for leaving her as he did for being around her #and even after being alone like that for years hes still somewhat HIMSELF #and also he got fucking hypnotized into being a vampires servant #and in between being hypnotized and losing his mind he mostly just thought she was hot. #i think about it do you #basilposting #atposting

on one hand, it's kinda unfortunate that the very first time hera ever says minkowski's name in the show she mispronounces it the way eiffel does, and it's obviously one of those early series growing pains type things. however. on the other hand. it exists in the show and in-universe it becomes one of those "spending too much time with eiffel" things instead. he got in her head. after being the primary person she's been speaking to for hundreds of days by that point, something like that was bound to happen eventually.

#wolf 359 #w359 #doug eiffel #hera wolf 359 #there's so much intentionality with names and who calls who what. when and why. that sure is a sentence #that those early parts of the show where things. aren't as careful. end up having other implications they weren't really meant to have #gabriel urbina has said so many times that he wishes that line in ep 13 was the first time minkowski called eiffel 'doug'. yeah. i get it. #and then you have... i don't think this with hera and minkowski is really that meaningful in terms of their relationship #but it is an interesting mistake in that. since eiffel is the only one who mispronounces minkowski's name and he doubled down on that #out of disrespect. #it does kinda like strangely work in how it accidentally aligns hera with eiffel. though she would never do that to minkowski on purpose #i think after a certain point it's just habit for eiffel but it's definitely. something. that you can tell how much respect he's showing #at any given moment through most of the show just by whether he calls her 'minkowski' (mispronounced) or 'commander' #and then of course you have hera calling eiffel 'doug' in am i alone now and then never again and never to his face. which. #someday i'll figure out how to express how i feel about that.

im so conflicted bc i wanted to rewrite ep 11 pt 4 where mhok and day actually talk and mhok actually gets to open up to day but while i was writing the outline for the fic, i realized how much more similar mhok and night are re: guilt and responsibility for their siblings, rung and day respectively. like write a scene where night and mhok are talking, maybe about guilt and night notices that mhok is carrying some emotional weight and maybe he opens up bc he doesn't feel like he could open up like that to day (not bc he's doesn't trust day but bc "why should i dump this trauma onto him?" kind of thing yk?) and maybe while night and mhok talk, day overhears and is like connecting a couple strings from previous eps? then maybe something happens and day brings it up and mhok allows himself to be vulnerable to day and day takes care of him 🥺🥺🥺

#haha can u tell this ep got me fucked up? #i am on the bandwagon of 'this ep could've been a bit better' sorry not sorry #i get that breaking up automatically is sort of part of day's character but he's supposed to have grown since then #like I expected him to hear mhok say something abt Rung and he stops and is like actually listening #I mean I didn't rlly rewatch the eps but like mhok never rlly talk abt her but day has heard of her in passing esp by the CAR #and ur telling me he's not interested to hear more abt mhok lore??? #idk I needed day to pause - literally pause and breathe and listen to mhok! #and now my babe's alone and crying outside of the house and he's alone when he gets home! Bruh! #last twilight #blabber time #mhokday

I genuinely don't think I'll actually watch the last Doctor Who episode tbfh. I think I'll just pop my head back in to see what's up when Fifteen actually starts his first full episode.

Lol I've just become too tired of tumblr's Tennant obsession (in the "if I have to see his face in a single gif one more time I'll throw my computer against the wall" manner, not in a "I think he sucks as an actor/person" manner, this is an overexposure issue only) to even care about the last special at all. I'm pretty damn sure I got everything I really needed to know from the online cliff notes anyways lmaoooo.

#if they make a spinoff with goddamn fourteen and donna that steals all the audience from ncuti gatwa as fifteen i will genuinely #fucking throw a brick at the BBC #i'm sure tennant had fun but leave him ALONE #give him an ENDING #please let's just move on #they've already overshadowed poor fifteen with their s4 wank-a-thon excuse of 60 anniversary specials as it is #doctor who critical #jen rambles #wild blue yonder was a banger #and as a solo episode i didn't mind the first one #but i'm just soooo personally weary of this and wish thirteen regenerated right into ncuti gatwa's doctor #which like. this all sucks. bc i hate being negative about doctor who #but i genuinely am Not a Fan of the whole concept of “tennant is back as another doctor” #wasn't a fan when it was announced and the eps didn't convince me #just feels like cheap and lazy pandering to attract audience #instead of taking risks to be new and inventive to attract that audience instead

✧ HAWKS VS TWICE | BNHA 6

the first real meta-analysis of this season, one that is highly deserved and one i've been anticipating for the better half of a year. hawks vs twice and the dichotomy of good and evil in respect to hero and villain and arguably one of the most important scenes in the entire animanga.

the first, and most important thing to understand is the frame in which this fight is set up. currently, the heroes are invading the paranormal liberation teams villa. this information has been acquired through hawks - who's been playing a double agent in the league for a long time.

the second most important thing to understand is who is inhabiting the roles of good and evil. of light and darkness, and why hawks is the evil.

as hawks points his feather towards twice, we witness twice relive the overhaul arc and begin to cry. he blames himself, going as far as to say it was his carelessness that's brought this upon him. this is the second time twice was experiencing betrayal and believes that the losses suffered to his comrades were his fault.

it speaks a lot to twices character. ultimately a vulnerable but kind, well-meaning person who puts the lives of his comrades above all.

but it also speaks to hawks, an agent of war and a weapon of the state. in fact, the viewpoint of this entire fight is noticeably reversed. reversed from the overhaul arc in which the league laid over the amputated body of kai chisaki, is hawks over the head of twice.

i want you to take notice of the lighting from the first episode in the second screenshot and i want you to notice the contrast between whats happening and what the story tells us.

the first screenshot has a light surrounding hawks with twice in the dark, surrounded by feathers. in the second, there's a thick wall seperating them with people surrounding hawks and no one to save twice.

what this fight has always been about was an explicit performance demonstrating the misconstruction of good and evil in heroes and villains.

there is a shadow cast on hawks face through every minute of this fight. the warm, friendly and cheerful hero is faded to nothing. cold, emotional, unreactive. he's done what he's always done - remained unfeeling in the face of all actions to accomplish what he needs. to survive. this is a crux of hawks character, it's crucial to his behavior at every point we see him.

✧ "You were just unlucky."

its something i want to highlight as its more information on hawks. ive mentioned before in a previous analysis that hawks sort of has the complex of a good victim. his inability to forgive his mother is birthed from this disposition. the "pulling yourself up by the weight of your bootstrap," mentality and his natural inclination to compartmentalize his emotions.

unlucky is a fascinating way to describe such scenario as premeditated as this one. it's cruel. it's frightening.

it's deeply, deeply unheroic.

but it's not that hawks is unfeeling. hawks tells twice here to atone. there's time to start over and that he's a good person. it's one of the only times in the entire scene we can see his whole face.

and he looks... mournful. he looks sad. he no longer looks unaffected.

hawks tells twice to shut up and we're no longer able to see his eyes. it's because hawks can't answer this question, and it's clear that he doesn't want to do this. he says it not even moments later. he even calls twice by his name when he exclaims that he has no interest in fighting him and i do believe that sentiment to be true

twice begins to accept hawks betrayal, creating a plethora of clones to try and stop his feathers but ultimately being unable to keep up. they exchance dialogue back and forth in which twice goes on to talk about not giving up.

the battle is tenacious but twice is unable to keep up with the sheer speed at which hawks is sending his feathers through his clones. the magnitude of hawks is speed is something twice mentions, to which hawks replies this

his reason for killing fast being that there's nothing worse for heroes' than a villain who can't give up. in this way, it becomes clear that hawks truly and sincerely idolizes the hero class. going so far as to put them above someone he genuinely considered a friend.

hawks eventually pins twice to the ground, feather to his neck. he calls hawks a traitor, making a comment about how everyone is the same. they all abandon the down an out (a truth that hawks knows firsthand) and he says something that's always struck me and did just as much in the manga.

✧ "You don't know do you? How Toga wraps me up in gently in her handkerchief?

it's such a devastating line. it's just so heavy, weighted with the connection of two people doomed by society. It's something Hawks has never been able to attain in his entire career, completely isolated by his line of work.

the fight doesn't end so cleanly, as only minutes in - dabi appears in a rush of fire. he burns hawks wings almost completely, stepping on his foot and breaking his glasses. Here they have an encounter where each party faces themselves the most honestly they ever had.

we get this iconic line, where dabi reveals he knew hawks would betray them from the beginning. indeed, dabi once again releases his flames - breaking the wall apart in which hawks escapes through and circles back.

when hawks is gone, dabi provides words of encouragement to twice. saying that only one of him could take down any number of heroes. something he seems to say sincerely and follows up with a high five. neither party is able to predict hawks coming in through the front.

it's here hawks lands the final blow on twice.

despite it all, twice is able to send one of his clones and protect toga and mr. compress from being captured. in his last moments, he apologizes to toga for making her sad before gently returning to back her handkerchief

as twice succumbs to his inevitable death, he reflects quietly on his life. lamenting about his circumstances.

"...I was blessed with friends I could put above myself,"

in his final moments, toga reaches out to hug his melting form and expresses her thanks while calling him first name. here we bear witness to his final thoughts before passing. saying he couldn't have asked for a better life, all while cursing Hawks and rebuttaling against his words.

✧ "Who are you to say I was unlucky?"

✧ "I was happy to be here,"

there is no scene in the entire series that summarizes the woes of it so succinctly as this one. not only does it highlight the concepts of good and evil as relative perfectly, but it provides immense insight on the human condition like no other. what hawks the hero could never manage is something twice cherished until his last breath

the importance of companionship. this scene was worth the wait by every means.

#fang.meta #fang.bnha #what an episode #how am i gonna get through this season it took me two hours to finish this ep alone #absolutely fantastic scene #well done and well paced to every degree #great animation #perfectly done i have no complaints

[lunar-years]

The thing about this Ted speech is that it was utter bullshit that Colin rightfully calls him out on. Like, he tried to do one of his Stories to be relatable but he could have just said some shit sincerely to Colin and not tried to bring a story into it. And Ted admits it was a misstep but like. Why did we have to see that. Instead of seeing Colin actually come out and how he chose to say whatever he said.

Completely!! Like, Ted was doing GREAT when he started with "Actually I do care, Colin." He could and should have stopped there, end of. I appreciated that Colin called him out, but it was also like, well the damage is done and we've now wasted significant screen time on another convoluted endless Ted story that has nothing to do with anything.

(And again I don't want to be overly negative about an episode that I did largely enjoy and that I know is already meaning a lot to people. But I do think for an episode about Colin coming out... we did not get enough Colin. I loved the Isaac stuff! I loved the Roy stuff!! They were really incredible scenes and some of my favorites of the season, actually. But my honest opinion is that the Isaac stuff and the Roy stuff outshone everyone else's stuff on the episode, including Colin coming out which should have been the focus.)

#the best scenes were the roy scenes and the isaac alone scenes and the isaac and roy together scene. if I am being truthful with myself. #and i wish that wasn't the case I guess #ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers #ted lasso critical #? idk is that a tag lol #trying to keep my hot takes away from people who just want to enjoy the ep in their bubble #sorry folks #asks

[cosmicrhetoric]

i finally started the w359 reunion episode and it's great but i just think it's funny that when asked what their favorite episode is nearly every single one of them is like "yeah of course we have a specific episode that's our fave to listen to based on our personal recording experience and our characters. but it's memoria"

#it's cause memoria is THAT GOOD like i have fave eps but i recognize that nothing is going to touch memoria ever #also i think im actually going to start listening to pairings i want to be able to pull wine knowledge out of my ass and emma seems fun #it was nice that someone shouted out am i alone now though. and time to kill. #wolf 359 #w359
