#he’s just a weakling lbr.

[day8423]

the idea of fiona being cursed randomly (us as the audience never discovering a reason this unknown witch put a spell on her), has always been so interesting to me. multiple times i've considered diving into writing a backstory, why she was cursed, why this witch decided fiona was destined for true loves kiss. i actually do have a whole load of headcanons and metas stored in the back of my brain, which in actuality would flesh it out and grant a reason why. but i have never put them to paper, nor will i ever, because i kinda love that we don’t know? (yeah it was probably just the writers once again belittling fiona over her male counterparts and deciding their stories were more important… but i ain’t gonna rant about that right now.) it aligns with good vs evil, the stereotypes that these films portray. fiona’s been raised on very straight forward beliefs that put her in that tower in the first place.

we never know what the witch’s motive was: was she plain evil, or was something else planned down the line? either way, far far away proved itself tenfold as a stick to the book kind of kingdom, keeping in line with all stereotypes and never drifting too far from fated paths. in fiona being cursed, harold immediately grew concerned regarding the stray of expectancy, and did everything in his power to get his daughter, his kingdom, and his own happily ever after back on track. rather than seeing how things might play out, he went to a well-known solution and beloved story: a fair maiden locked away in a tower. not actually knowing why the witch cursed fiona, ultimately reinforces the notion that far far away is a very closed minded kingdom (at least where the king is concerned, despite his own backstory). however all this unwillingly places fiona into the role of a princess like no other, the first strike of independence. she steps out of her destined pages, and rewrites her own story. and along that road, changes the entire mindset of those in higher positions in far far away. she gives lesser respected creatures a voice, advocates that being different is okay, and not only beautiful people deserve a happy ending.

i have also loved the idea that it could have been fairy godmother that cursed fiona as a little girl, under disguise as a haggard witch, in order to assure her sons place in far far away when both children grew up. then, she presented herself under a guise of goodwill, promoting this plan of locking fiona away in a tower for her own safety and security, setting the wheels in motion from the beginning. lillian and harold were so desperate for help, and she took that vulnerability for granted. which all this was not difficult given harold’s debt to her; she knew he would listen lest he risk himself and his position. (i genuinely don’t think lillian had much say in all this, but that is a rant for another time!) she waited until fiona was old enough, rather than cursing her as a baby. ‘when i was a little girl a witch cast a spell on me.’ old enough to know how to act and behave as a member of royalty, but still young enough to be moulded and naïve regarding some aspects of the world. that when she returned with charming, she would lack experience and knowledge of how to truly be a princess, given her isolation and separation from her people. thus, charming and godmother could shape her as they pleased, and gain proper reigns of far far away over carefully planned precision.

either way, cursed by fairy godmother or a random witch, fiona is never going to find out, and eventually she becomes okay with that. for a long time all she wanted to know was why. why her. why was she so different to every other princess out there. never knowing why she was cursed really does just strengthen her mindset because while she struggled with it for such a long time, it shaped her into who she is. there’s no grand backstory, she has nothing to truly blame, no one to seek revenge upon; she just needs to deal with it. furthermore, because it was random and seemingly an act of unjustified cruelty, it allowed fiona to break herself free from feeling like a victim, and get out of the tower when she did. it wasn’t destiny that cursed her, it wasn’t set in stone, her life wasn’t meant to exist in a lonely tower. if her parents had said from the beginning that it was supposed to be her story, those three stages (cursed, tower, rescue) then she would have been crafted to live like that. it would have been expected. alas, it wasn’t any kind of fate, so she really just gave a big middle finger to feeling like a victim, and took her story into her own hands!!

#ii. every princess is a beauty / every dragon must be cruel : study. #long post / #also this might seem like a harold hate blog. #(kinda is) #i DO think he loved his family a hell of a lot. #and genuinely thought he was doing what was best for fiona at the time. #but his mindset would have been VERY different if he wasn’t so scared of risking his own position and happy ending. #he’s just a weakling lbr. #also all this really is taking from my own interpretation rather than anything canon with shrek. #i probably shouldn’t need to reinforce that but like. #shrek is NOT canon here. <3 #unless specifically stated. #fiona runs her own world thank u very much!! #but yeah just the curse is so interesting to me!!! #the fact that there is legit no backstory when there could be an amazing one! #fiona being cursed really was the best thing that ever happened to her mkay. #after like... #twenty five years or so she comes to realise that rifp. #the irony in the fact that fiona’s curse was not destiny. it was random. and as such allowed her to break free from the shackles #of those emotional and physical restraints and become who she is. #but if it WAS destiny then she would have remained the dutiful princess because it was apparently who she was supposed to become. #she wouldn’t have questioned it. #i am overthinking this i know but. #i just LOVE that we don’t have a backstory. #i think it makes it way more intriguing.

i want to say black sails but i feel i know most of these already. BUT black sails (i dont think i know about your eps).

the first character i ever fell in love with: I fell in strong like with Silver in his very introduction (not to mention I was already a Long John Silver fan), but in love-love, it was Max in 1x03, when she rebuffed Eleanor's help. I was transfixed.

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: n/a. If anything I went the other way around with Eleanor, from being wary of her to outright loving her now. Also yes, I still like Billy xD

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: n/a. Again, I went the other way with Maxanor.

my ultimate favorite character™: Max. She's a wonder. I need to finish this one long meta post I've planned to write about her for over a year now lol.

prettiest character: all the women are so, SO mesmerizing (the men have nice personalities xD). Rn I'm particularly feeling Anne and Idelle, idk.

my most hated character: the disdain I feel for Peter Ashe is endless. What a weakling.

my OTP: Silverflintmadi. Or, Silver x love, loving and being loved xD (alternatively, Max x Nassau :P).

my NOTP: Silver/Thomas, Max/Madi (they wouldn't be able to stand each other, lbr), Eleanor/Rogers.

favorite episode: LITERALLY every episode I watched of season 4 had me going "no, THIS is my fave episode" ñalkdsfaf. All of s4 could be here, and I particularly love the series finale.

saddest death: Miranda's. That other one in season 3 too (although I found both fitting narratively. The one in s4 as well, you know what I'm talking about), but I don't want to say the name because another friend is watching now and I don't want to spoil her lol.

favorite season: season 4 BUT season 3 is my comfort season lol. I had to ~process each episode in s4 because they gave me psyche damage lol, while season 3 was increasingly high screams of "MY HEART <333" (given some of the tragic shit that happens in s3, this might say something about me lmao).

least favorite season: I still love them but it's true season 1 is not up to the same ~blacksailsicity and that s2 is at times too... not slow, but paused? The rhythim stops to a halt sometimes. Which isn't necessarily bad, but it's not s3-4, yk.

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: not hate, but tbh I care less and less about Thomas the more I see people lose their minds over him. He's Just Some Guy LOL.

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Rogers is my love-to-hate-him guy LMAO, so I'm putting him here.

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: I'm gonna say Charlotte.

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: mmm... Rockham? (Rackham/Rogers). I'm so sorry about it Jack, I just enjoyed your scenes together xD

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Silver/Muldoon, Max/Georgia or Max/Idelle (though I like that one more the more I think about it, actually).

#grapecase #grapecaseschoices #replies #talking to the void #my thoughts #black sails thoughts #black sails #ty! #and well you might know some but i still welcome discussion lol

JESUS, JUDAS, MARY 8,9,10

8. share a car with: jesus take the wheel 😉

share a bank account with: judas, since he's the only one sensible enough to not be spending 300 silver pieces on ointment

share a cake with: Mary bc she wouldn't be weird about it and start saying the cake is her body like jesus probably would

9. watch a soap opera with: judas idk I just think we'd have banter

go to a play with: jesus bc he seems like he'd be the posher one who's into Theatre, dahling

watch your favourite movie with: Mary, that'd be fun (lbr Mary is the most fun one, mostly bc she's not as much of a mess as the other two)

10. netflix and chill with: Mary bc Mel c is hot

go ice-skating with: judas bc he'd probably fall down a lot and it'd be hilarious

play dodgeball against: jesus but now I'm reconsidering this bc I was like 'lol jesus is a nerd and weakling I'll easily beat him' but then I remembered he has divine super strength oh no...

#belongtohufflepuff #jcs #thanks for these Marki they were fun!

Vader for the Character meme thing,

do I like them: like is not strong enough a word. j’adore this crazy murderbot, he’s like my emotional support animal. that being said, it would probably take writing a book to figure out why I would sell the moon for this trash can

5 good qualities: urk lbr he doesn’t even have five emotions

At his core, he loves wants his family intact and safe - wants to be loved.

He has a code - a very twisted one, but it’s more than one can say for most - of honor. That is to say, he asks for the very best from his men (Kreel, whom he even trains and sort of implores to carry on the legacy of the Jedi) and rewards merit (Piett) and sacrifice (Trios) regardless of gender (his female aide in Purge) or species (bounty hunters), if only so long as it is in his own interest to do so and without ever taking steps to change the status quo. Genuine or even grudging respect leads to some of his strangest comments (Kenobi was a teacher, if a failed one) and actions (the first time he tries to kill Aphra, he asks her to hold still - as though this would make asphyxiation less painful; what’s especially notable in this instance is that he doesn’t go for the death she fears most). On a related note, he seems to respect opponents who value dedication and sacrifice and (perhaps even in a certain way connected to his Force religion) life, who in effect share his honor code and/or zealotry - most prominently Leia.

There’s a reason he’s more effective than any other villain in the OT, and I think it’s this – he has empathy with his victims. Instead of destroying Leia’s mind, he chooses to understand her - it is Vader, not Tarkin, who pieces together that Leia will only ever reveal the base by going “home”. He understands Luke less well but is still able to lure him to Bespin - once again, I tend to think, because he understands Leia well enough to know how to make her broadcast pain.

This is not exactly a quality, rather a skill, but he is very good at manipulating the arrogance of others, at hiding in plain sight, at subverting expectations. As a slave it seems he learned the value of knowing as much as his master and more and also of hiding how much he knew - and so he is a master at appearing dumber than he is and showing his hand only through clipped sarcasm and/or during the sudden finishing blow. For what it’s worth, this lifelong strategy of never quite being what he seems - of allowing himself to be underestimated - makes it possible for him to get the jump on Palpatine.

Dedication. By his own admission, he’s a slow learner, but if he recognizes the need to learn something my sense is that he becomes obsessively focused on mastering it. This is speculation based on how much of a planner he is in both ANH and ESB. Perhaps he plans as a result of the hard lesson learned from being slower and more ungainly than he once was, but perhaps this tendency also reflects his need for control and absolute mastery of knowledge or a situation.

3 bad qualities: selfishness, which also covers his confusion of possessive and compassionate love and his gigantic, nearly unconquerable ego and his grudge-keeping; stubbornness, since once he convinces himself he is right about something he is never going to be totally unconvinced and since it works into his repressive complexes; MURDER

favourite episode/etc: easily ESB. I’ve talked about this before and perhaps too often so I’ll keep this short: the camera work and lighting is phenomenal (he dominates the camera bewitches it plunges the screen into darkness; he also owns the creepiest scene, the shot exposing his scarred head), plus we get to see him at his worst, at his most ruthless and possessive and malicious and clever.

otp: vader/pain. seriously, though, I have trouble imagining any sort of non-gen relationship with him - trouble imagining him wanting it (black swan theory: the suit and the extent of his burns and his guilt over Padmé and his utter devotion to the Force - he’s very Jedi as a Sith, almost completely unattached except to Palpatine). Also hard for me to imagine anyone wanting or, better: succeeding in getting close enough. Aphra makes for an interesting exception in that regard - she enters his life at a stage when, thanks to Luke, the rules are changing for him; she loves to live dangerously and to reanimate dangerous things, to put them into circulation once more; she seems to see him not as some man with power but as a living relic-weapon/extraordinarily volatile and powerful and scary object, which is arguably precisely how he wants to be seen (as Vader as mask not as that weakling); they have certain shared interests - fetishes - even beyond droids and weapons, if one recalls how he used to crave fast speeders and dangerous stunts; plus she’s smart enough to recognize a ticking time bomb, to not expect a future. But even here, I admit that I can’t imagine him letting anyone that close except to kill them until a post-ROTJ situation

brotp: if one can find a way to convince him not to kill them, Ahsoka and Aphra both make for wonderful foils, not least because both can find ways to unsettle him with their respective forms of honesty, because both know how to find and create the windows through which he can be reached. I have particular love for Ahsoka - Anakin loved her and she loved him, and that’s not something either can just forget, plus she’s got a sharp eye for his bullshit and an equally sharp tongue and can actually defend herself (whereas Aphra would have to escape) if he lashes out. She’s surpassed her teacher in many ways, and even if he can’t admit it, there’s pride to be felt (something of his old self to be loved) and lessons to be learned there.

ot3: if I can make this about gen, then let me say that I especially adore the particular gen combo of vader + leia + character growth that you, dear @chancecraz, have mastered

notp: vader/one of his kids omg

best quote: all of his lines are the best! but if I had to pick just one, it would be: “The Force is with you, young Skywalker. But you are not a Jedi yet” — the sheer malice expressed in the “yet” always gets me

head canon: he’ll never be free of the suit, at least not entirely. There’s an idea I like from old canon, I think it was that he was given an opportunity to upgrade the suit shortly before ANH, but decided against it because it would have involved shutting down his life support and have potentially killed him. In my head, he’ll always have a panel in his chest and tubes in his throat, even if he can ultimately reach a state where he doesn’t need a full or even partial mask. There’s also a psychological aspect to this fantasy of mine — I don’t think he would ever be able to give up some of the advantages the suit offered. Anonymity, the unreadable surface that let him subvert expectations so well (and spared him from having to emote or be seen as a burn victim), etc. For many reasons, I also think it would take quite a bit of work on Luke’s part to make Vader adopt Jedi robes again, to so completely negate the suit and his history by returning to that heroic role. The mental image I have of a post-ROTJ Vader thus tends to cover his face in sun-protective turbans and scarves and sight-enhancing goggles (to look, in other words, much like Rey in her establishing shots) and to adopt a dress similar to what he wore as a boy on Tatooine — a combo that offers even greater anonymity than the suit, that lets him blend into masses, that marks his choice to free himself from slavery but also as one who once was a slave, that keeps him from ever having to look anyone straight in the eye and silently lets him make his point to his children that no, he does not want his scars removed, no, he is never going to be Anakin Skywalker the Jedi the Hero With No Fear who btw was a Weakling and Never Should Have Existed —while still acknowledging that there are ways to be Anakin Skywalker, ways perhaps the Sith and Jedi made him repress, he can now invent or reclaim.

katie and lou ;)

send me a ship and I’ll tell you… || Accepting (selectively because this shit’s long lol)

Bc they’re not a ship (yet?) I’m just gonna wing it and fly by the seat of my pants for a whileEither some random modern verse or friends verse whoevenknows

who is more likely to hurt the other? Probably Louis. Katie maybe, she seems the attentive type to figure out Louis’ hot buttons, but Louis goes out of his way to be aggressive and an asshole when he’s in his Mood, so there’s usually some decent damage done on a more regular basis by Louis. 

who is emotionally stronger? Katie duh Louis is an emotional weakling 

who is physically stronger? Louis sorry Katie baitie 

who is more likely to break a bone? Louis obvs

who knows best what to say to upset the other? It’s probably pretty even but Louis doesn’t use it unless he’s in his Mood. 

who is most likely to apologise first after an argument? Louis probs unless he’s being a pissy little brat or Katie’s a pissy brat after the fact 

who treats who’s wounds more often? Katie tends to Louis’ 

who is in constant need of comfort? Neither? idk Katie’s life but she doesn’t strike me as an emotional damsel in distress. 

who gets more jealous? Does Katie get jealous? If so, her. 

who’s most likely to walk out on the other? Louis leaves when things get too intense, so probably him 

who will propose? Louis because he’s lowkey sexist and thinks the guy should propose because it’s romanticer 

who has the most difficult parents? …. what are Katie’s parents like?

who initiates hand-holding when they’re out in public? Louis mostly 

who comes up for the other all the time? I still think this question is asking who would travel for the other, and Louis would definitely travel to go see Katie if she moved away while they were together. 

who hogs the blankets? Louis (maybe? Is Katie a bed hog? LOUIS GET TO KNOW YOUR GIRLFRIEND BETTER SO I CAN DO THIS DAMN MEME) 

who gets more sad? …. neither? Katie seems pretty perky and Louis doesn’t really do sad. 

who is better at cheering the other up? KATIE AND HER PUNS. 

who’s the one that playfully slaps the other all the time after they make silly jokes? Louis probably shoves lightly at Katie when she makes her puns but lbr he loves them 

who is more streetwise? I’m gonna say Louis 

who is more wise? Katie 

who’s the shyest? Neither *laughs at the idea* 

who boasts about the other more? Louis brags about his SO’s so likely him 

who sits on who’s lap? Katie on Louis’ lap. Unless she wants him in hers, he’s easy, he can make it work lol

Other various thoughts

- Slightly concerned with just how much Barnaby talks to his plants! And he still only has one chair.

- Side note about said chair, rewatching the first season and it still cracks me up in the babysitting episode Kotetsu just.. decides to take his shirt off simply to sit in the one chair and get drunk? Class act, haha~

- Johnjohn... Who the fuck lets Keith name anything. WHY DOES HE LIKE THE NAME JOHN SO MUCH???

- I always quite liked Ryan but now we know he is actually v.soft makes me like him more? Although Keith is forever the Himbo king lbr.

- The whole ‘cheating’/breaking up episode was gold. Barnaby all “I trust Kotetsu completely, he wouldn’t break up our partnership...’ *cut to him and Ryan literally hiding in bushes to spy on him*

- Hopefully now everyone will realise that just because Ivan is shy he was never some weakling who couldn’t do anything for himself. He kicked some ass and bit back when he felt he needed to.

More under the cut (spoilers for all episodes)

- Karina annoyed me much much in less this part! Maybe the simple fact her character is older now and better written? Either way her and Ryan were a delight together!

- Antonio getting more screentime and his teaming up with Ivan was pretty great! Him yeeting Thomas out the window did make me laugh though.

- I knew that lasagne was dodgy!

- Yuri talking to children like it was a board meeting cracked me up. Also I wonder how many times he’s set his desk on fire by mistake by burning files like that, lol

- Kotetsu literally getting no sleep after Barnaby was injured.. Between his usual work, he visited him each day by the looks of it and then spent his free time looking for the bomber NEXT. Damn man, yoga can’t help if you don’t rest too!!

- I felt bad for the twins. They were clearly very stunted emotionally and just wanted to make their old man happy. At least they went together in the end. :(

- Not sure about how I feel towards Thomas and Subaru. I get the feeling I’ll end up loving them when the second part arrives now that they’ve actually worked as a team properly.

- Pao-lin and Lara are super cute as a team! Pao-lin trying so hard to be a good mentor, aah my heart~

- Nathan stressing about hurting Keith’s feelings was very sweet and they make a very good team together! Keith’s confessions to show he wasn’t perfect were adorable, bless.

- Kaede wanting to become a superhero was a surprise! And I really liked how Kotetsu talked to her about it and how he needed some time to work out quite how to express how he felt about it but would support her nevertheless. We stan a stand up Father!
