#him the satisfaction.

[frownyalfred]

I 100% believe Lois Lane requested the presence of Bruce Wayne in her delivery room.

Nobody, not even the League, understood until it was time to give birth and Clark froze up at her bedside. Bruce was there to coach them both through it, as Clark’s friend and as Lois’ human reinforcements.

(Bruce flew to Metropolis in a helicopter when he got the news. He found Clark ashen and trembling at Lois’ side, eyes clenched shut as she screamed. He slid into place like he’d never been missing, talking Lois AND Clark through it like he delivered babies every day of the week)

#rambling thoughts sorry #bruce wayne #batman #Clark kent #superman #Lois lane #clois #dc #dc comics #I just hc Clark can’t listen to Lois scream #or be in pain #because with him around she’s never in danger she doesn’t have to be #but this is another beast #he just has to sit there and watch it happen #Lois knows this #so she called Bruce #also she needed the satisfaction of breaking someone’s hand from squeezing #Bruce breaks his fingers every other patrol so this barely fazed him

#every time he beats the shit out those people oooh the satisfaction i get #literal chills #god i cant fuckin wait for the moment he beats the shit out of orter madl #every time he does his little side-hops and the workout clothes come out #im cheering him on like a sub-urban mom at her son's soccer game #'GET HIS ASS HONEY! YOU GOT THIS! I LOVE YOU!' #mashle magic and muscles #mashle #mash burnedead

broke: haru hates akechi and doesn't talk to him ever again after he comes back

woke: haru chooses to be kind without forgiveness and akechi doesn't know how to live with her genuine compassion because it'd be so much easier if she hated him instead

#sera posts #of course there'd be resentment and other complicated emotions I don't want to oversimplify or reduce haru to her kindness #but I just think thats such a more interesting dynamic to explore than 'haru doesn't talk to him' like!!! #haru choosing kindness and akechi Not Getting It. he wants her to hate him bc it's easier and simpler and he doesn't have to #live with the girl whose father he killed in his life. but haru says no. you don't get to leave my life and pretend I don't exist #you don't get the satisfaction of my hate. her kindness is a weapon!!!

cannot stop thinking about that meta that’s like “voldemort’s ultimate goal was to simply destroy the british wizarding world” because it makes so much sense. tom riddle was a poor, orphaned, assumed muggleborn boy with a (most likely) ‘commoner’ accent and a distaste for humanity who sorted into slytherin, the hogwarts house infamous for being filled with loud rich bigots. tom riddle, with his background, could not have possibly been very popular those first few years of his schooling. tom riddle would’ve loathed the lot of them, all those arrogant, spoiled rich kids boasting about their family line. finding out he was the heir of slytherin would have been both a relief (he has something to fit in) and a jackpot (if they knew, they’d bow before him). and he uses that heritage later, when ‘tom riddle’ has disappeared and a stranger called ‘voldemort’ appears in his place. the fanatics literally kiss his feet.

voldemort is canonically a genius. he would’ve known that non-magical blood doesn’t make you dirty or less talented, because he himself is the prime example of that. espousing the bigoted pureblood agenda was simply the easiest way to gain power over the ones in power—all to send society crumbling to the ground from the inside. he takes over the ministry and ruins it, taking the first steps in tearing down the establishment; he kills regardless of blood, implying he doesn’t give one flying fuck what your heritage is; he tries to destroy the sorting hat, which would render the concept of ‘houses’ void.

personally i think it’s very interesting and appealing to put this interpretation in the context of tomarry/harrymort. i’ve always HC’d that harry will grow tired when he’s older, after he’s saved the wizarding world once (at the expense of his own happiness and well-being) and sees that nothing has changed or will change. that voldemort was a symptom, not the disease. that he and hermione and ron keep struggling, working themselves to the bone to make their world more fair and to suppress and eradicate the rampant underlying bigotry, but that it just won’t take.

and with an older harry, an embittered one, turned caustic and cynical by the very world he once viewed as his sanctuary—i don’t really think their beliefs would differ all that much. they’ve both seen and experienced the injustices. they’re both annoyed and disenchanted. harry will always have a regard for life, and voldemort won’t ever, but if anyone would have a wish to tear society down and build it back up again it’s them both.

#can you tell i’m back on my bullshit again #tomarry #harrymort #voldemort #tom riddle #harry potter #‘you took everything from me and destroying you won’t bring them back but i’ll give me the satisfaction of revenge’ etc #harry is inherently a hopeful and fiercely loving person and that’s what makes him Not Tom #and also morally a way better person LMAO #but i think this would be so fun to explore

tbh i dunno why so many sj apologists are anti-yqy. because like????? he is your mascot. he was the originator. the head honcho of excusing sj's levels of unmitigated villainy. look into my eyes and tell me that qi ge wouldn't blush and kick his feet if he saw xiao jiu commit murder. actually we don't NEED to imagine bc jiumei did just that and yue qi just grabbed his hand and ran, no thoughts head empty. arson? child abuse?? yue qi doesn't care. whatever makes xiao jiu happy <3

#qijiu #shen jiu #og!shen qingqiu #yue qingyuan #inspired by pro-sj anti-yqy fics on ao3 where yqy is just...so OOC #stop bullying yqy agenda 2024 #mtxt hates him enough he doesnt get a happy ending in pidw or svsss #bc living the rest of your live believing that the person most important to you and whom you love most is happy without you is #EXTREMELY tragic on its own but i think yqy could at least find satisfaction knowing his xiao jiu is happy #but he's not. it's an imposter and he'll never know #anyway yeah!!! sj might bite but yqy doesn't care because xiao jiu is xiao jiu. #svsss #mtxt

I’m obsessed with this image. The hatred. The rage. The sheer lividness. Tremendous animosity. Nothing but utter contempt and disgust because your buddy isn’t doing his Scared Guy schtick. This is so funny. This is the epitome of comedy. Nothing will ever top this.

#Im gonna say something controversial #i think ryan should make him mad more #i think shane not getting the satisfaction of ryan being a lil scared guy is the funniest thing ever #ghost files #shane madej

I had this thought after henry had enough of spencers bullshit, he"ll come to him and carry him bridal style and then throwing him into the lake, gordon is very proud of henry after that

I had a feeling that if I don’t answer this ask in the style of a BL doujinshi something terrible will happen to me. enjoy

#asks #mak1lol #ttte spencer #ttte henry #casa tidmouth #senjart #there should be a tag for spencer’s weird unhealthy gay misadventures because it’s starting to become another spencer trend on this blog #henry kept closing his eyes because he doesn’t want to let spencer have the satisfaction of being seen by him. #somewhere on the other side of the island gordon’s permanent frown slowly morphed into a sickening smile

Remember when Kacchan complained about Izuku obviously skulking around with All Might and how they need to be less conspicuous about their connection with each other? When you think about it, no one cared that much what the heck Izuku was up to… except for Kacchan himself. And in hindsight, that interaction is just so freaking cute. Just because this guy is always hyper aware of Izuku and the people surrounding him and absolutely concerned with his business, he thinks others will be too.

Take Season 2 for example at the sport festival… How did he even come to eavesdrop on Todoroki in the first place? By following and being invested in what Izuku was doing with him because Kacchan got so jealous about Todoroki declaring war on his shitnerd 😩 he couldn’t stand the idea of them going off alone somewhere together.

Stop the cap. You were there because you followed Izuku, Katsuki. 

Kacchan’s always overly concerned about Izuku and on top of that, he was jealous of Shouto taking his rival nerd from him. So when he got curious seeing them go off somewhere alone, he followed them and eavesdropped.

And another time he eavesdropped on Izuku in Heroes Rising.

He’s so focused on whatever Izuku’s doing or saying, he tunnel visions like hell. Here he forgot about his icey and it melted off the stick. 

Not only does he always give Izuku his undivided attention, he definitely wants it returned.

Izuku’s always looked at his back, right? Whether that was walking behind him in the woods, or being seated behind him in class... I think at some point Katsuki came to crave his gaze on him and secretly loved his praise too and that feeling was exposed in the joint training arc with his “Keep your eyes on me, Deku” 😂

Oh Katsuki don’t lie ❤️

You knew he’d be watching you like this with his big and shiny doe eyes didn’t you ;)

Turns out you’re allowed to be obsessed with Kacchan, Izuku. He was just being a hypocritical tsundere whenever he said stuff like this:

Remember when there were a bunch of Kacchan apologists that victim blamed Izuku for sticking around when he was told to leave him alone? What if I told you Katsuki never truly wanted Izuku to leave? Because if he did leave, then who would Kacchan stalk? 😂

Honestly!!! Kacchan’s Izuku complex and how he projected it onto him like Deku is the only one who’s obsessed, is one of my biggest sources of amusement with this ship. Heh. 🤭 They are true equal partners in a lot of ways…

Between all the “Did I do better than Deku?”, 

the eavesdropping

and every single time Katsuki targeted him, if you’re able to describe all of this as nothing other than PURE UNADULTERATED OBSESSION...?

DING DING DING. You’re damn right it is!

Then you flip the hate around because it turns out he was wrong to hate that person in the first place after all, and what does Katsuki’s obsession start to look like? Maybe a little something like this.

They’re obsessed with each other and always have been and this is perfectly fine. It used to be very antagonistic attention on Katsuki’s end but his attention has since become all soft and gentle because now..? Now he’s just in love. ❤️ And that’s the tea~ ☕️

#Kacchan calling Deku stalker is literal pot meet kettle #kacchans obsession is so obvious 😩 #he's adorable #like in hindsight of everything he ever said lmfaooo #bakudeku #also... #bkdk canon #op #bnha meta #Kacchan loves deku #kacchan was the one interested in izuku deep in his heart from the start lmfao #though izuku never denied himself the self satisfaction of his admiration of kacchan #kacchan slowly coming to terms with being JUST AS OBSESSED with izuku is such a blessing #I excavated this post from deep within the drafts xD #its always bothered me when people downplayed the fact THEY ARE BOTH OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER and that is OKAY #bc it is okay #its okay if its kacchan <3 #thank you guys for supporting Kacchan’s obsession along with me #1k #everyone knows he’s such a huge simp… ​I love that for him #must read meta

overwhelmed by the comedy of Dracula learning to cook & perform light housekeeping in order to convince His Good Friend Jonathan that there are invisible servant lurking in the background. And then it turns out Dracula is an excellent cook! to the point Jonathan remarks upon it in his diary!

#dracula daily #How did this happen! Who taught him! #Where did he get the Ingredience! #My theory is he has an Understanding with one of the Village Grannies #wherein she comes in to teach him to Home Economics skills #with the guarantee of immunity from bloodsucking + very generous payment #AND she gets the profound satisfaction of chiding DRACULA HIMSELF for under seasoning the soup #'no dear it needs more garlic' #...oh that's a HILARIOUS MENTAL IMAGE actually!!! #Vampires and their garlic/salt allergy #Dracula getting all suited up in his personal protective equipment to handle garlic & salt for his dear friend Jonny's supper #ART PROMPT #THAT IS AN ART PROMPT

the amount of crits Zac got for the Last Stand is unbelievable. it makes sense for Gorgug though, after figuring out that perfect combination of barbarian and artificer and pretty much being so tired of everything at this point lmao this boi is no longer taking any shit

...and then Arthur Aguefort tells them they were stupid for working hard when they just passed with the Last Stand with A+ grade. everyday, we get closer to the day the Bad Kids just straight up just murder Aguefort 😂

#fhjy spoilers #fantasy high junior year spoilers #fhjy ep 15 #but then aguefort will approve #bc trying to kill him is in the spirit of his goal for the school #or some other shit #and sadly that will take away the satisfaction of trying #rip bad kids #d20 spoilers #dimension 20 #fantasy high

#yes yes yes I know meng yao isn't ACTUALLY trying to kill nmj here in any iteration of the canon #but I refuse to believe he isn't deriving some satisfaction from venting his frustration and anger on da-ge in this moment #u've heard of method acting now get ready for 'method espionage' #the best deception always stems from the truth #mdzs #cql #mdzs shitposting #the untamed #meng yao #jin guangyao #he did crimes??? good for him 😌

Creature. (The rendered ones are referenced from manga panels)

#mediocre art #tokyo ghoul #On some level I think I should like Kaneki more than I do but there's this weird sense of detachment #I have not only from him but being able to perceive him as a character? #I don't even dislike him it's just that I can't feel any which way about him at all. He's a catalyst for events #feels more like the conch from Lord of the Flies or something rather than a fictional person. #He doesn't suffer and learn from the consequences #he just suffers and does what got him there again. It's arguable that the lack of punishment denies him the satisfaction #but if that's the case why does he end the story with everything working out perfectly for him? #Why do his friends oblige his flaws and accept his lack of change? #Is the problem my lack of understanding or his lack of good writing? #Is he well written? #Why do I like a certain character from a different anime who's a very similar person with very similar dynamics #but with a goal and acceptance by himself and those around him that his actions really are reprehensible and cannot truly be atoned for #not only more but to the point that he's actually one of my favorites? #Am I just sitting upon a throne of entitlement #because his thought process and experiences are not catered to be applicable to and understood by myself? #GOD IF I KNOW ANYMORE #I'm not pressuring myself to like him or anything I just don't understand anything about kaneki these days and I don't know why

Beautiful moment of foreshadowing in SVSSS, after Luo Binghe learns that Shen Qingqiu praised him:

"Luo Binghe felt like a steady strength had taken root somewhere in the depths of his heart and was starting to bud. Even his hand, carrying the heavy wooden bucket, seemed to become stronger. At this time, not only did Luo Binghe not feel like other people were making things difficult for him, his expression became joyful and satisfied."

It's not suffering and trauma and Xin Mo that makes Luo Binghe stronger. What makes him stronger is feeling loved.

#SVSSS #BingQiu #Luo Binghe #plus the strong hint about Protagonist Satisfaction Points #I love the degree to which SQQ is distracted by protagonist dick in this whole section #his companions literally have to call his name several times to make him snap out of it #and then after a bit of conversation he goes back to thinking about the Heavenly Pillar

Ok so in the May art

All of them are our little gremlins we love who just had the best time destroying the pots.

And Time’s standing there all dignified so I think a lot assume he was kinda calmer…

But not only is Time holding the Biggoron’s sword, with his smaller one stowed away on his back, but he’s next to the largest pile of pots in the room near someone.

Bro went apeshit

#He’s the father he just let them do it and supervised! #like no #he was the most insane #if he wasn’t crazy he wouldn’t be the leader #the others were kinda scared of him swinging that huge sword #the pile next to him is HUGE #anyways #I like to think he was just #standing that way out of satisfaction not dignity #me and my sword did good #linked universe #linkeduniverse #Lu #Lu time #may art #Jojos awesome

deeply tired reminder that the proverb “blood is thicker than water” has been used in the English language since the 1600s, and its ultimate origins may be from the 1100s; the longer version that tumblr likes, “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,” is first attested in a book from the 1990s by a “Messianic Rabbi” with no sources. It’s literally prefaced by “Warning: The truths contained in the following teaching are not for the faint of heart, or the lukewarm! You can be sure that haSatan (the adversary) will do all he can to keep you from understanding and applying the concepts and truths contained herein”. The whole covenant framing is being used here to justify a “Jews for Jesus” interpretation of Judaism. It’s not “original” in any sense. The idea of blood covenants is a very old one, but there's no evidence that that's what that proverb refers to at all, and certainly not in those specific words (and this guy never even claimed that the specific words were original, just the sense of them). And the Brothers Grimm even suggested the "water" being referred to in the phrase was the water of baptism.

You are not obligated to like the sentiment expressed by “blood is thicker than water.” You don’t have to agree with proverbs. You are perfectly allowed to like the sentiment of “ the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” better. But it is not in any way “authentic” or the “real” version, and it was not corrupted into the common version. Please.
