felix being referred to more or less exclusively as "your soldier" in-game speaks to how little the writers put into his character beyond his noggin full of sith secrets & his relationship with the consular; still, i do find it kind of sweet and funny, in a way. he's not a republic soldier, not even your personal bodyguard; he's your soldier. the consular is a small nation-state in and of herself

#accurate. #felix iresso #swtor #jedi consular #open tags for My Rant: #going back through rishi and doing the cute little holocron quest got me brooding - as i often do - on my best boy felix #that the writers could not think to give him anything in KOTXX that wasn't Torture Angst is deeply shitty but a little understandable. #all the other consular comps kind of have a way forward that isn't consular-related when the consular goes away #nadia has the jedi. zenith has balmorra. tharan has his old illustrious career. qyzen has little baby clan and also his religious directive #meanwhile felix isn't involved with your order or a supergenius or a politician or even someone with a lifelong goal #he was a guy doing his best at a dead-end job that turned into a far more enjoyable but still lowkey dead-end job #i would argue they could (should) have sent him to ossus but i can see them balking because Doc was already there #that's a little narratively redundant especially bc Doc has an extremely useful set of non-martial skills you would want to center #when telling a story about survival and persistence against the odds like with ossus #(also he was in the group of companions second-closest in proximity to the emperor in base game) #HOWEVER. #because i am immensely sexy and cool and have a huge brain i think i've cracked it #the way to give felix a compelling story post-consular is to put him the fuck in charge. #no longer your soldier or anyone's. his own. maybe even in charge of a large group of people in need of someone to follow #considering he used to be really good at that #a group like...idk...maybe the rest of the people incarcerated on his prison colony? #much to think about.

Me, whenever I look at the Teen Wolf tag:

#seriously he wasn’t even in the movie yet his stans somehow find ways to make it all about him #I’m so sick of hearing about him #and I’m sick of watching everyone throw the POC main character under the bus for the generic white boy #I used to be indifferent about him but his stans have made him insufferable #I just want to see content about the other characters without it all being about stiles #especially Eli and Derek #just give me some father/son content without involving the irrelevant white boy #anti stiles stilinski #anti stiles #anti sterek #stiles stilinski #derek hale #eli hale #teen wolf #teen wolf the movie #pro Scott McCall

Who knew Eddie's dream sequence in 5x14 of Christopher, present yet distant, would be foreshadowing for the arc they're going to go through in Season 6

#The tone of that dream has a different feel in light of the fact that Eddie's going to have to learn to exist without the title of #'Father' as his primary source of identity #Eddie in that dream is very much so Dad to a Young Boy: his joke his silliness is that of a father still so enraptured in the youth of #his son. But then the dream turns on its head; Christopher is there but not. Eddie dies in front of him and he doesn't even flinch #I said when the episode aired that the fact that Christopher was in Eddie's trauma-induced dream at all is indicative of the fact #that one of Eddie's primary fears is losing his son. Or (more to the point) his son not needing him anymore. #So I imagine this period of transition that they're in is going to be... a challenge... in many different ways #Especially as Eddie contends with all the time he *missed* being Christopher's dad when he was in the service #Christopher was six years old when Eddie started taking care of him full time; that's six years that he missed #Now Chris is twelve/thirteen and what should have been over a decade with his son was really just 6-7 years #I imagine there's going to be a lot of guilt involved here. Even if we don't see it on screen #knowing the way Eddie's brain works and the incredible standard of honor he holds himself to? #[Honor that exists absent of trauma but just a standard he holds himself to intrinsically...] #It'll be interesting to see that's for sure #jack.txt

i don't like season three when viewing it as a continuation of seasons one and two, but i do very much like season three when viewing it as the prequel to seasons four and five... hmmmmm.

#rewatching it bc i wanted to make another foreshadowing compilation post for myself regarding what will's actions will #likely be in season five re: vecna and lmao. so many things are just... it's like. it makes me laugh how In Your Face it is now #that we know all that we know. so many direct parallels both with dialogue and actions. mike/will/lucas/el foreshadowing their s4 roles. #the flaying of the holloways and the creels. the dormancy / activation shit. the building shit. the natural progression of their arcs. #the different ways that their characters approach problem solving and how we see tht reinforced by s4. it's so fascinating #genuinely i think idk it was just such a big culture shock i guess u could say from 1 and 2 that it was hard to digest on its own for me #but now that 4 is in the same vein it's like Oh. Okay. Yeah no. I get it now. That's cool. I'm forever bitter but I get it and respect it. #3 4 and 5 are a package deal considering they also said 4 was like part 1 of 5. #it also makes sense bc the point of 3 was that everyone was changing and building themselves in a new way and that #includes vecna so. just so fascinating how they link everything and how their vision is so consistent with certain plots and characters #like. the lucas max mike n will + el involvement is right there. the idea that they have to kill vecna and not just his puppets is right #there. that 2nd point starts in season two but three is where it really turns into an ''the end justifies the means'' situation #(especially for will which i think is something a lot of people overlook but—) #s3 is painful when considering their personal character arcs but fucking delicious when considering the overarching supernatural vecna plot #bc thts also when he starts his ''there is no stopping this'' shtick and actually enters the story #and he's fucking slimy lol. which i Love #anyway. omg first i defended mike in the rain fight and now i'm saying i kind of like season three who the FUCK am i!!!!! #crazy what feeling the need to defend a white boy's honor will do to you 😳

the way this fandom treats characters is astounding. like y’all do realize that every single character is shitty, right? literally every last one. your blorbo is not an exception. no, “but my fave—” no exceptions. literally the only character that i can’t think of any issues with off the top of my head is farah.

#call of duty #cod #obviously some characters are worse than others #i think we can all hold hands and agree that makarov takes the ‘most evil character’ cake #and lots of people acknowledge graves’ actions #and i’ve even seen people bring up valeria’s actions #but the way y’all (general) just. pick and choose who to criticize #it’s important to acknowledge and discuss the flaws these characters have #and i think it’s important to allow people to explore problematic characters #but if you’re gonna do that— acknowledge EVERYONE’S flaws #price nikolai and gaz literally kidnapped a civilian woman and child. used them as ‘bargaining chips’. held a gun to a little boy’s head #soap & ghost may not have any highlights (that i can recall) but they’re SAS. #the military– especially the specops– are not known for being above board and clean #price’s catchphrase is literally ‘we get dirty world stays clean’ #this cast is full of fuckin war criminals. they’re ALL shitty. #obviously some are worse than others (motioning to makarov valeria & graves) #but acting like the ‘good’ characters are unproblematic is harmful imo. there are real people that have been victimized by the military #–including the SAS. your blorbos are in an organization that devastates entire countries with war #i guess i’m sick of seeing people’s obvious favoritism in this fandom. #y’all (general) love to discuss shitty behavior and read-world equivalents until it involves your faves #and i’m not saying this to tell people to stop writing for everyone. i personally dislike the ‘don’t write for problematic charas’ mindset #but hold every single character to that standard for the love of god #and ‼️be mindful while writing/discussing potentially harmful stuff‼️ #be sensitive to the groups that might be seeing this. remember that COD is a war game that romanticizes the military and war #with the sole intent of getting people to join #no one is perfect. they’re ALL shitty people. some are worse than others– but they ALL represent real-world issues #the ‘only enjoy unflawed characters’ mindset links back to purity culture and media literacy dying #seeing people expect an imperfect media to have a perfect fandom is draining #the community needs to be a safe space for everyone. but groups will inevitably clash and that’s why we have the block button and filtering #just like. don’t disrespect people. be mindful with your work. but also— BE LIBERAL with catering your fandom space!

Not sure if anyone's pointed this out yet but if you weren't all already traumatised by this hateful character here's some salt for your wound. It's interesting that when Uea finally goes home, and following a happy moment with his sister, this evil incarnate appears from the one room that represents the trauma this man and Uea's mother caused.

#bed friend #it was difficult watching these scenes #I had to mute the sound and cover the screen with one hand #this must have been difficult for the three actors involved #(uea. the uncle. and young uea especially) #I do hope they got counselling/support. especially the young boy #I want to yeet the mother into a thousand suns. as well as the uncle

It's been 4 days since it ended now but i'm still emotional about saturday night takeaway ending and I just can't get over it yet... and one thing that I can't stop thinking about is how every time they started the show they always welcomed us by saying welcome to YOUR saturday night takeaway even tho their names are literally in the show's title. And honestly the show really was a massive comfort for me at times. There were countless times I'd had a shitty day/week and just watching it on a saturday night lifted my mood so much and made me forget about my problems for 90 minutes. It was just something always guaranteed to put a smile on my face and make me laugh no matter how bad things were. So I'm just a bit heart broken that I may never get that feeling again when i need it 😔💔

#also i remeber reading a comment about it on social media one day #and it said the show is literally just two best friends having fun and sharing it with us #and honestly i think that's the perfect way to describe the show #and i loved when the boys said it's the kind of show they enjoyed watching growing up #cause they are literally just doing their best to entertain and make us all happy #which is why i can feel a little selfish for wanting them to continue the show when they clearly need the break #and then that also reminds of the time ant went through his personal problems #a lot of people weren't very sympathetic towards him and yes he made a big mistake #but i was always supportive because i believe in 2nd chances #and especially when it involves mental health which is something i've always struggled with most of my life #so i saw it as a way to return the favour for the all the times ant (and dec of course) have made the world a little brighter for me #anyway i'm going on a lot here #but i need to say all this to express just how much i love them and to process the fact that a show #that has given me so much joy could be over forever #ant and dec #saturday night takeaway

love watching new media and knowing that if i had watched this as a teenager i would be the least normal person on the planet about it

#current contenders: h*mest*ck and kingdom hearts #just the. multiple worlds. insane lore. everythings interconnected. nothing makes fucking sense. ridiculous op fight scenes #i wrote basically my own version of KH in my paracosm except it was every animated boy i had a crush on #while not even knowing KH existed btw like i just did this on my own #where my OC Sara went around having adventures with these characters and helping save their worlds from shadow monsters #like. cannot stress how similar KH was to Warriors #ESPECIALLY with the light/dark and heart/heartless themes???? like im pretty sure i had an almost identical system #with like. some people having no hearts (souls) and some people's hearts being dark or light but can change #I had so fucking many characters that started out with dark hearts that turned light #i remember making a diagram with the hearts like. a dark heart turned light had a white dot in it #inspired by yin and yang #and it involved like. httyd; rise of the guardians; big hero 6; fuckin henry danger of all things- #so many things #a lot of that old story has morphed into more completely original characters (and paratives) #im too exhausted most of the time now to obsess over stories like those #but by god if they had hit me in the middle of my hyperfixations on similar stuff. i would be the most annoying motherfucker about it

one thing i was not prepared for when i started this rewatch of sdmi has been for it to finally sink in how absolutely heartbreaking daphne's whole deal is. this poor kid, man

#sdmi #scooby doo: mystery incorporated #daphne blake #abused kid with zero self-worth: casually; gruesomely self-harms in the *second episode* unprompted to get an extra clue #me: 😰😰😰😰 #someone help her please actually god #i know it tends to get overshadowed by people being annoyed by the Obnoxious Het Teen Drama and all; and i get it #but like. that's a major manifestation of her *larger* deep-running issues; sexism and misogyny have shaped how she tries to deal with them #and it kind of sits less and less right with me these days that of her and fred #she's the one whose issues get dismissed and ignored with 'i don't care about boring hets so i'm not gonna bother 🙄' #whereas fred's issues which his involvement in that subplot are an expression of get explored and taken seriously #and treated as Tragic Best Boy Protect Him #(which by itself i don't have a problem with! he is very dubious and fucked up but he's also really tragic and likable) #especially since he's a *catalyst for or outright cause of* a lot of the heartbreaking stuff that happens with her in the series #i understand he has issues of his own and the misogyny is a manifestation of his own abuse history; that toxic masculinity has harmed him #but it is a plain and simple fact that he is a misogynistic abuser toward daphne in sdmi. like. he just is. that's a thing #and i think it is. revealing. that of the characters involved in the Annoying Het Subplot(tm) #it's the man who is a perpetrator of misogyny who's considered Worth Exploring the Tragedy of Despite the Annoying Het Subplot #and the girl who is a victim of misogyny; in ways her entire life is shaped by and suffocated in; is fair game to ignore the tragedy of #and the way the most i have ever seen her get in the show or otherwise on that front is #She Deserves a Better Boyfriend and to Be Confident in Herself Hell Yeah Girl Power #and not 'the way this kid's parents talk to her in the car outside the college is a punch in the gut to watch' #........bothers me. it bothers me. #anyway #misogyny cw #abuse mention cw #abuse apologism cw #self-harm cw #SDMItag

Let’s be honest here, if James and Sirius were girls (into eachother or not) they would be known as the “lesbians” around school.

As someone who went through highschool as a girl having a very close friendship with a girl (and let’s face it, yes I was desperately in love with her and no it didn’t end well, but that’s bedside the point because these rumours went around before I fell for her) we were Always asked if we were dating and when we denied it people didn’t believe us. And if people didn’t think we were dating they thought we wanted to date, and yeah it was primarily guys thinking that which I’m not even gonna get into because that’s a whole sexist fucking gross thing there, but still!

You can’t tell me, if you’re like gen z or in a generation where queerness is known through your highschool and like not the worse thing in the world, that you didn’t have a set of girl best friends that everyone thought were in a queer relationship.

I happened to be in like, almost all the “lesbian” rumoured relationships at my school because, after the first one, I shaved my head and became the school dyke and then any close female friend I had meant I had to be in love with them and if they seemed smiley around me back it was assumed we were dating.

But like, James and Sirius were That Close, and if they were girls, they Would be The Lesbians. If they were just best friends, everyone would assume they were lesbians. If they were secretly in love with eachother and never said anything until it was too late, everyone would assume they were lesbians. If they were dating and just didn’t tell anyone, everyone would assume they were lesbians. If they were dating and did come out and tell people, no one would be surprised.

I think there’s something special about that. And I know from personal experience being known as the lesbian couple of the school even when you’re not isn’t the greatest, but like as someone who’s experienced that and also experienced it in a more positive way (where people were just supportive and wanted us to date because they genuinely thought we’d be good together and we liked eachother) it’s just something that’s bound to happen.

Apparently you can’t have two girls that close to eachother that aren’t your typical “straight laced “normal” girls” and have them not be cast as the school lesbians.

James was a quidditch captain nerdy smartarse, and Sirius is an alternative black sheep with severe mummy issues. They’re gonna be the lesbians.

And I adore that.

#someone write me a fic about it #and make them kiss and be in love #ALSO no hate to ‘normal’ girls obviously. it’s just there were a lot of girls in my highschool with close female relationships similar to my #own and they were never cast as lesbians because they fit into the typical norm of girl that guys liked. you know they were very feminine #and would hem their dresses to be shorter and shave their legs and what not. I’m talking in the earlier years of highschool too. and they’d #just be very typically feminine and often be involved in boy drama and blah blah blah. where as me and my friends cast in this category were #often seen as weird. or at least I was. we weren’t seen as pretty in the way they were and often had hairy legs still or came to school #without makeup. we were kinda nerdy or had strange humour and less of a fashion sense. #mostly we were just a little bit different. especially me. and so yeah we got casted as the lesbians. especially me because I was typically #undesirable to those mysoginistic sexist teenage boys 👍👍👍 #wow I did not mean for this to turn into a little rant #it was just a midnight thought that kinda made me laugh that I could relate too. wow. go to sleep jay #jay talks #prongsfoot #James potter #sirius black #James x sirius #marauders #sapphic prongsfoot #lesbian prongsfoot #lesbian James #lesbian sirius
