[ Headcanon ] A MOTHER'S EXPERIENCE .

Cassandra isn't unaware of the dangers of Zaun, in fact, when she was younger, around eighteen and a rebellious daughter of House Kiramman, she decided to take a trip to Zaun. She, too, felt the hint of the thrill of it that her mother never engaged in, she wanted to see the streets and find something of interest. To grab at her very heart and take her for an experience. Zaun wasn't like Silco's Zaun, it was still inherently violent and dangerous if one wasn't careful.

The Piltovan elite had no idea what she was stepping into. She had been curious and wanted to see what the whole hype about the undercity and her mother demanded never to cross the bridge. The place was to be seen, but never heard from. Still, Cassandra wanted to know! What if they had something of use, what if they could provide more for Piltover? What commerce and political gain could be extended to help them? So despite all the rules, Cassandra descended into the city, wanting to go to the shop that she had heard from one of the Zaunites topside.

However, along the way, Cassandra was attacked. She had never been taught how to fight back, she knew how to handle a rifle but she didn't bring it with her. Cassandra had been stabbed with a bladed hand and her money ripped from her clutches. It left the councillor's heiress shaken when she was young (before she was a councilor). No one helped her, as she limped back through the streets, the way she was ignored, and scowled at, even the children running from her; no one cared she was bleeding all over their ground. Her mother had the best physician and doctors tended to her, stitching up the stab wound on her right abdomen and a hardened lesson.

Zaun was dangerous; it was filled with thieves and killers and dangers no one could anticipate. At that point, Cassandra no longer saw interest in Zaun, her adventuring and rebellious nature immediately quenched like a fire doused by water. At that point, Cassandra's eyes no longer saw interest in Zaun but only the dangers within. She understood why her mother often told her not to deal with the undercity as they were filled with monsters and animals; the savage nature of that city was not for the cultured Piltovans.

Cassandra's hardened views made her determined to protect Caitlyn from that city. It's why she's suspicious of anyone who is a Zaunite and why she curses them under her breath. It's why, when she stated to the council, that "the undercity cannot be controlled by us," and his displeased appearance of Vi when Caitlyn brought her home. To Cassandra, the undercity is its city and she not be interfered with. They are their people, and Piltover should stay on its side. It is why she was so headstrong in protecting Caitlyn from the dangers of the undercity and the threats that linger down there.

She is not coming from an ignorant standpoint. Cassandra was in the undercity, she saw its people, and she witnessed its violence firsthand. She knows of it and what it stands for and she actively tries to protect Piltover and her daughter from the dangers there. There is no surprise when she finds out about the violence nor does she have an interest in providing a working setting between them. The undercity is its own and Piltover is its own; that is how she believes it should be. And Most of all, she wants her daughter nowhere near it out of worry that she might become a victim of the violence.

#[muse] caitlyn — headcanons. #at this point I might as well write Cassandra XD #but kind of gives more on Cassandra's past #and why she is the way she is #I want Cassandra not to be viewed as a toxic parent or anything #cause I don't see her that way #but her overprotectiveness comes from somewhere #and this plus the multiple other headcanons I crafted #gives reason why she is this way #and why she views Zaun in a negative viewpoint #At the heart of it Cassandra wants the best for Caitlyn #she wants her safe and loved and protected #and what parent doesn't what that?

FAMINE: That's one deep, dark nothing you've got there, Dean.

[youtube with closed captions]

dean and his father. dean and his family. dean and how bad it is.

(via @closetoyou1970)

#spn #vid #mind the warnings on this one for real #woe! fruit of my rewatch be upon ye. #pallas calls this my 'deangirl coming out vid' which honestly. true. but those who paid attention know i've always been a deangirl. #also. after this no more deanwinchester rilo kiley amvs I Pwomise #anyway. i'm not gonna give a full commentary here but a big reason why i chose this song is that the narrator #is essentially dismissing her own problems and instead watching the problems of someone else #and i kind of wanted to play with that theme. this is the parallels show so let's do some parallels. lots of things happen to characters #that are Like Dean somehow. either in personality or circumstance. that we know or can infer happen to him. but we don't see it bc it's #not sayable. not speakable. so like for an easy one. we see meg being tortured in caged heat. she also talks about apprenticing under #alastair just like dean. so i show her being tortured [in a way that is sexualized and demon-specific] and reacting how she does #because i invite the audience to imagine or interpret that this has also happened to dean at some point. we just don't see it #so there are many dean parallels in this video. some obvious. some subtle but textual. some products of my twisted mind. but that's the way #i am using them to make my argument. #oh also: dean voice sam's eyes going black is JUST like when he used to fight with dad and wouldn't listen to me when i told him not to. #i guess also the point is that because it's unsayable. dean can't say it. dean can't even acknowledge it. and so it bleeds through #into everything in his life #that's why it's important that the song narrator doesn't take her own problems seriously. dean doesn't either.

I MISSED THE WAY YUU RAISED HER VOICE TBHHH she is very sweet when she does that and gets mad~

#that and yuu has the braincell that makes her realize too quickly that the best way to handle him is not to yell #fbdhshsh THIS IS THE MOST SUGARCOATED COMPLIMENT EVER THO #SWEET FOR RAISING VOICE #OH IF THAT'S THE GAME WE ARE PLAYING SEBEK IS TOTALLY ADORABLE #HE GIVES U DIABETIC EVEN #i know how the first drawing of yuu yelling at sebek is what makes their dynamic attractive to see #but as time goes by u really get used to him and just go yeah yeah #as much as i want to make it interesting i really don't find anymore reason to antagonize him as much as before #this is why pinning phase is the most interesting #and once u get together everything just falls flat #yuu is not really a yeller tbh #it's just sebek really light the fuse when she doesn't really know him yet #she would say her friends in the real world would be surprised to find her yelling at all #but her friends also know she would yell when their situation would direly need her to #it just doesn't happen too often that yuu doesn't even realize it herself

you will NEVER see anyone writing paragraphs after paragraphs hating on keefe like they do with sophie.

#nah im sorry but i need to get this off my chest #how is it that SOPHIE always gets more hate compared to other characters or yk the ACTUAL ANTAGONISTS of the story? #why do ppl keep bringing up the fact that “she has too many powers” or “all the boys love her” TO SHIT ON HER #is sophie's character perfect? no #should sophie's writing be criticized? honestly yes take it up with shannon #but you ask a dumb bitch why they hate sophie and they'll start giving the funniest reasons ever #and it really makes you understand that these bitches will never say any of this if she was a boy #why do y'all expect so much from sophie #she does one mistake and everyone comes for her #she tries to do something and everyone comes for her #she tries to be friendly and everyone comes for her #she gets together with fitz and keefe and everyone comes for her #she manages to use weapons and fight properly and everyone comes for her #she shows a little emotion and everyone comes for her #hell she DOESN'T DO ANYTHING and EVERYONE COMES FOR HER. #“why did you mention keefe” oh bc yk he does a million mistakes and no one bats an eye #you can just clearly see the way this fandom treats sophie and keefe #kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #sophie foster

i love that bagi relentlessly pursues the truth and answers even if that means stumbling into the things that hurt people. like the jolt of pain through your skull when you've got sensitive teeth and eat something cold. she looks at pac having a panic attack and her first thought is to go, my god, someone else who has more answers, who can fill out this story for me. obviously she's not heartless and she understands that shes poking at old wounds. but it's really really nice from a viewers perspective to have a character who digs, on purpose or by accident, and ends up uncovering all of this history and baggage that these characters have spent 7 months trying to bury

#why bagi in particular has gotten some of the lore she has out of people might actually be a whole other mystery #i think its a perfect storm of her connections to certain ppl + cellbit setting up the murders to give her more of a reason to look #at the past #but shes always been focused on backstories hasnt she? #from the beginning all she knew was that she was an amnesiac and she wanted a doctor #so that they could fix it #shes uncovering her own history and finding out about the rest along the way #i love her im so glad shes on the server #bearvocalizations #bagi #qsmp

i would really like to see people appreciate beau's growth and character arc more without trying to convince newcomers that "she'll get better eventually just you wait" implying she was such an unbearable character you have to make yourself sit through her scenes. i assure you, she wasn't

#you may like or dislike any character for whatever reason mind you! i'm not arguing with that! #but her flaws are so blown out of proportion in fandom while other characters' flaws aren't treated this way at all #and i'm yet to see someone saying that caleb gets better later on. or that veth does. maybe this is also a thing i don't know #but it surely doesn't happen under all relatively popular content centered around them #also beau surely wasn't the only one guilty of being rude and picking fights at the beginning of the campaign. this is just. not true. #the way she's usually referred to as the least cooperative member of m9 #and she wasn't the one who got threatened with a sword for putting the whole party's lives in danger for her own interests. is interesting #this just. makes me sad. i really don't get why people who like her adopt that misconception invented by people who openly disliked her #and sound like they feel guilty for enjoying her character and have to beg other people to give her a chance #i got into m9 with little to none exposure to fandom opinions and honestly. it was really surprising to find out she upsets people that muc #critical role #beauregard lionett #the mighty nein

I was disappointed that Haruhi was treated like a girl by the host club members. Anyway I’m trans now 👍

this is actually probably another example of cultural disconnect irt ouran! I don't blame you for it because if im right about where you're coming from, it's a linguistic thing and unless you understand japanese/how japanese works it's not a connection you're going to make. I think that much of what english-speaking fans percieve as haruhi being treated like a girl by the hosts, aside from tamaki's obvious Thing about her gender, is the constant use of she/her pronouns. Most of the hosts (sans tamaki) don't go out of their way to treat her like a girl in terms of like, social context, aside from a few bits that are implied to be instigated by tamaki (i.e. lobelia academy plot.) I will admit that the she/her-ing of haruhi is pervasive in the english translations of the show, but it's not actually an accurate reflection of the original content. Conversational japanese largely drops gendered pronouns from most sentences, meaning there's very little overt gendering of haruhi either way by most characters in the show. this is part of the reason why it's somewhat believable that she managed to pass herself off as a guy--it's actually entirely possible that she didn't KNOW that people were assuming she was male until the hosts made a big deal out of it, because it's unlikely she would be referred to by gendered pronouns in conversation with her peers. this is unfortunately one of those things that it's almost impossible to not lose in translation since english sentence structure relies so heavily on gendered pronouns, but i do think it's worth pointing out that in the original japanese the boys WEREN'T openly calling her a girl at every turn. except for tamaki who absolutely was but that's like his own whole seperate thing

#my least favorite anime scene is the beach episode argument bc i will never understand why they made that shit all about her being a girl. #in the manga it was very much more of an issue of her refusing to call for help when she needed it than a 'you are a weak female' situation #anyway. irt the japanese pronoun stuff the pronoun that IS commonly used on her is the one she uses for herself #which IS a traditionally male pronoun but is also stereotypically used by like. tomboy girls girls who dont care abt gender etc #which is another reason people assumed she was male. she was using a technically masculine pronoun on herself #but not in like a 'i am a boy' way in like a 'who gives a shit' kinda way. yknow #asks

i think i’ve learned a lot when it comes to not applying my own values to the media i consume

for my script analysis class yesterday, we discussed two gentleman from verona, and nearly every classmate of mine was up in arms about how sexist the story is.

and i'm not saying it's not, or that it's not infuriating to read. but i'm also not putting my energy into getting upset about something written 500 or so years ago. and i'm not about to put my own beliefs onto these characters that are not me. i'm going to let their choices speak for themselves, and interpret it in the context of the story.

all that said, this now brings me to the point of alastor in episode 5, and how viscerally people are responding to it. those of you up in arms about the choices he’s making, and the violent threat he gave husk, you’re missing the entire point of his character, of this place they’re in, of the story being told. he’s an overlord, and he became an overlord by killing much bigger overlords and broadcasting their deaths over the radio.

HE IS NOT A GOOD PERSON.

if you started this show with the belief that every character working the hotel is a good person, you’re in the wrong place. watch the good place if you’re looking for a good wholesome story about getting dead sinners into heaven, because that’s not what this show is about.

you’re more than welcome to hate him after seeing the way he exerted power over a being whose soul he owns, but you’re doing the media you’re watching a disservice by writing it off so quickly. if you don’t like to be uncomfortable watching media, watch something else. this is an uncomfortable show, it handles uncomfortable topics, and it’s going to be an uncomfortable ride, and if you’re not up for something like that, then you should take a break from it and pick up something else. you don’t have to get online and defend your own ideals while you watch a show that goes against your ideals.

#hazbin hotel spoilers #that’s not even touching on the fact that husk was an overlord too #he also owned souls that he used as currency to supply his gambling addiction #he’s also not a good person!! #the majority of these characters are in hell for a reason: they’re not good people #i quite frankly love the way this show blurs the lines between good and evil #our heroes are sinners and overlords and demons. while the enemies are angels. but that doesn’t mean our heroes are good people. #you HAAAVE to come to terms with that!! you have to stop seeing the world in black and white or you’re not going to survive this world #if you’re upset because alastor was cruel to husk fine! be upset! but explore why you’re taking yourself out of that world. #in this world sinners own other people. there’s no ifs ands or buts #‘oh alastor is a poc why would he own people’ he was a serial killer when he was alive do you really think you can apply your values to that #(and this is me speaking as a poc. specifically a mixed race poc.) #i cannot speak to who vivzie is as a person. but i’m interested in the message she’s writing and thus far i’m finding it compelling #it’s a similar story as the good place but it’s going the distance to explore even worse people than those in the good place #i don’t think it’s responsible to write something off just because unsavory things happen in it. #and she’s giving us so many different types of representation that don’t involve race (although we’re also getting a lot of hispanic rep) #just like cool your jets and maybe process some of the anger you’re feeling. and maybe nothing will change. #but if you act. instead of react. if you understand why you’re feeling some type of way and then make a choice. #that’s so much stronger and more responsible than reacting and not thinking anything through #hazbin hotel #alastor #husk #hazbin alastor #hazbin husk #anyway let me get off my soapbox #long post

Honestly really hope 4.1 gives ANY kind of interesting aspect to Neuvillette and Wriothesley's dynamic bc rn "token yaoi bait of 2 tall men who live in the same country, work together professionally but are not close personally" is just not hitting for me...

Like give me SOMETHING to work with so I don't have to be annoyed with the Wriolette art when I'm just trying to look for Neuvillette fanart

#saccha's thoughts #neuvillette #wriothesley #gi #the leaked voicelines aren't doing it either #the whole 'oh he held an umbrella for him once' would only appeal to me if I had prior investment in the ship #but I don't #bc pre-4.1 wriothesley is quite literally an NPC #and not once mentioned by neuvillette in the archon quest #give me ONE reason why I should be invested in that ship that isn't '2 attractive tall men... TOGETHER' #inb4 u ask why I think they are not close personally #it was said twice that neuvillette purposefully avoids forming personal relationships with the ppl of fontaine (no exceptions) #and also their respective voice lines about each other do not imply they are close personally in any way #the only non-professional connection they have is through sigewinne #bc neuvillette has a big soft spot for melusines and she works in the fortress of meropide as head nurse

Need I remind Ryan Condal(and the fans of this show who want her cut because she’s irrelevant) that in every piece of media on the Dance [The princess and the queen(2013), The World of Ice & Fire(2014), the Dance DVD lore(2015), Fire & Blood(2018), and The Rise of the Dragon(2022)]Nettles is always there.

Some characters that will be featured in the show like Addam of Hull(he’s not mentioned by name in the DVD lore), Alys Rivers(she’s not mentioned in the DVD lore or The World of Ice & Fire), or Gwayne Hightower(he’s not mentioned in the DVD lore or The World of Ice & Fire) are not mentioned in certain versions of the story, but Nettles is featured in every single version of the Dance.

#hbo I am watching you #nettles #house of the dragon #hotd spoilers #I’m not trying to piss anyone off because I like all the characters I mentioned #I am however trying to point out how this show is treating certain characters #netty #nettles asoiaf #hotd #she’s been there since the beginning #again if GRRM or even HBO itself could always find some way to squeeze her in what is stopping them now 🙃 #why change it up 🙃 #nettles f&b #what would be the reason 🙃 #if someone replies to this with ‘HOTD has reached their Black quota’ you won’t like my reply 😊 #they also shouldn't push her back a season #they've squeezed in everyone inlcuding freaking silver denys and give a storyline before the sowing for twiddle dumb and dee #give us nettles ✊🏽

finally decided to share my Dealer with the internet! Her name's Buck, she's the butch ever, and she is my everything atm, i'd let her step on me, crush me under her large arthropodic body and shoot me in the head- the USUAL response yknow? Bonus doodle of her and Charles arguing:

#buckshot roulette #buckshot roulette dealer #the dealer #choo choo charles #also yes. she can squish her body up and go into a more bipedal stance if she wishes #because all her organs are distributed appropriately #those back legs are more like fucked up kickstands that can walk and somewhat grab?? #also do NOT ask me how long it took to give her pants #there's a reason i never gave Charles pants and i see why now #shudders #she'd probably just walk around her apartment in a wife beater and a blanket/cloth wrapped around her lower half #because ain't no way any store makes underwear big enough #the pants might as well be homemade too #or altered after being bought

The idea that Mettaton knows about the amalgamates and that's why he and Alphys aren't friends anymore drives me insane and it's an interpretation no one can change my mind about

#MTT knows the reason Asgore hired Alphys was bc Asgore saw that Alphys had made a vessel a soul could be put into (MTT)& thot itd be useful #the fact we know from her logs that Alphys and Mettaton were still on speaking terms *during* the amalgamate experiments #the fact that MTT could probably see the true labs elevators shaft from his hiding spot in the wall #(i made a diagram showing this once but I'm too lazy to find it) #(point is idk why Alphys would choose that spot for MTT if he doesn't already know the elevator's there) #the way his 'all so you would think she's the great person...that shes not' bit kinda implies he doesnt think Alphys is great like. morally #the way the game refuses to give us a clear answer about their falling out #adrien says stuff #utdr #Mettaton #Alphys #headcanons analysis au ideas and such #edit-also his ''Since the flash of light [Alphys]'s been working hard to set everything right.

i dont think the comic version's end of nimona is negative specifically because the villain she happens to attach herself to is a villain by label only. blackheart is pretty much the kindest and most noble character in the book, if she happened to associate with anyone else, she probably would have been different, her killing everyone in the beginning wasnt exactly fake and i think she couldve easily been influenced to actually be worse if it was an actual villain, lol.

but a big thing in the comic is that no matter how many times nimona is evasive, lies, threatens him, gets aggressive, whatever, blackheart still forgives her and unconditionally supports her and thats what helps her in the end. him keeping this attitude

and her being able to reflect on all his actions, even if he did end up hurting her in the end, is what helps her go on a new path thats not focused on fearing the possibility of being hurt because shes different

#personal #nimona #she retaliates HARD against any kind offer from blackheart though. even in the end #her actions of interpreting an offer of help from a kind person who hasnt harmed her so far as a threat is bad. its a fearful response #that i think she learns to work on overcoming in the end #the end is a turning point for her. in a hopeful way #the movie gives her the reason of choosing to be w him bc everyone else now hates him as well #while i guess the comic is like that too? i cant definitively say the movie was bc of society vs the comic or not #theres no way of her knowing if boldheart did just randomly decide to kill the queen lol. while in the comic hes kinda like... not winning #theres no dead monarch there until nimona kills the king. she just suddenly shows up and its anyone's guess why #and boldheart kind of has less of an excuse. the comic nimona could be conflating his actions into villainy as she speaks abt herself #so idk. if blackheart was like 'sure lets kill everybody' idk if she wouldnt be pursuaded from it. she truly doesnt want to but also could #think lol. shes very neutral imo
