#i can't wait guy see what happens

[dinosaurwithablog]

Giancarlo Stanton is back and kicking ass!! He hit that ball perfectly, and he stood there watching it go before he started waking to first base. When you hear the sound of a baseball connecting to a bat with that kinda clarity, you know it's outta there. Welcome back, my friend!!! There's no stopping him now. Maybe this year, the Bash Brothers will become the Thrash Triplets with the help of Juan Soto!!! I can't wait to find out. Let's go Yankees!!!!

#giancarlo stanton #grand slam #he's back #the thrash triplets #i can't wait guy see what happens #WE ARE NUMBER 1 IN THE MLB!!!!!!! #let's go yankees!!! #baseball #⚾️

Hehe I really enjoy your comantary and captions you're so funny, I can't wait until we see Wen Ning again since we left his brief cameo

I miss him everyday.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wen ning #ask #thanks for reading my silly commentary. I also can't wait until we see Wen Ning again! #Wen Ning is so full of babyboy energy....I just want good things to happen to him but oh no oh god the horrors #They keep happening to my precious guy! My sopping wet rabbit! #You have to make sure your Wen Ning gets head pats every day or he will start to wilt #Even if he gets a little stinky and soggy from being buried for 13 years #he is still so deserving of scritches and goodboy treats! #Goodboy treats are probably worms ngl. You think Wen Qing would *Not* feed her little brother worms as children? To see what happens? #She's a woman of science. Hypotheses must be tested. And now WN is a number one worm eater. #The whole corpse thing was just the most wild coincidence. Let WN eat worms regardless of being a live or not!

at some point i will figure out how to write the post-canon, post-empire edelgard autonomy fic of my dreams. it just feels like a very big task and maybe like with playing the dane, i’m simply not old and traumatized enough to manage it yet.

but my vision is thus: it’s set years (realistically, decades) after the end of crimson flower, when everything has gone as right as it can possibly go. fódlan is thriving. the social reforms have taken effect. the nobility system is nearly eliminated, if not entirely so, with titles made merely symbolic. social mobility, welfare, and prosperity are high. there’s an explosion in arts and culture and technology. brigid and duscur have gained independence; relations with sreng and almyra are much improved; heck, maybe they've even figured it out with dagda. in my most idealistic version, leicester and faerghus would eventually be ceded back to become autonomous regions, essentially disbanding the adrestian empire. rule is no longer hereditary, but merit-based. there's a roadmap for the future, and everything is on track—and more than that, people at all points on the power spectrum have already seen it bear fruit. with or without edelgard, it will be pursued. there's buy-in. they believe.

of course, it's not perfect—nothing can be—but edelgard's vision has been fulfilled. the people are empowered. humanity is free. fódlan has healed.

and somehow, she's had enough time to resolve her goals outside of politics, too. those who slither in the dark have been eradicated. edelgard and lysithea's second crests have been successfully removed, allowing them to live if not full lives, then substantially longer ones than they would have with their twin crests intact. who knows—maybe she finally gets around to having that wedding.

point for point, every item listed in edelgard's manifesto has been checked off. the ghosts of her past have been laid to rest. she can finally take off her crown. she can finally pursue the quiet, humble life she's wanted for so long. she can finally breathe.

... but can she?

edelgard is nothing if not driven. her intelligence, vision, and sheer willpower allowed her to plan and execute a revolution against two countries and the most powerful institution on the continent, all while she was still a teenager. as royalty, her life was never truly hers even before she became heir to the adrestian throne, with all the additional baggage of survivor's guilt and the desire for vengeance and her need to ensure nothing that happened to her can ever happen to anyone else, ever again.

so what happens when that drive has no outlet? what happens when someone who has been constantly in motion, constantly working and planning and preparing every spare second of every day since she was fourteen years old, suddenly has to stand still? what happens when someone whose hands have been bound for so long—first literally in the dungeons of enbarr, then by the weight and responsibilities of her crown—is set free?

being edelgard, she would step away from the throne, no matter how hard it was for her to give up control. she's always been focused on the endgame, and she knows that if she doesn't let go, she'll be setting the wrong tone for fódlan's future. she's too devoted to that endgame to cling to power much longer than she needs to, though i could see her making some excuses and trying to iron out just a few more things to buy herself some more time to mentally prepare before she's done for good.

but who would she be then? who is the woman without the crown? what becomes of a machine once it is no longer needed, when it has made itself obsolete? what about when that machine is a person with legs and arms and an innate unwillingness to gather dust on a shelf?

what happens when you get everything you want? what happens when all your wanting has been for others to thrive, and now you have to want only for yourself? how do you discover who you are when you've spent decades being everything for everyone else? how do you find meaning again? how do you find purpose?

after a lifetime of devotion and passion and movement, how do you learn to sit with yourself, and be quiet, and be still?

gosh, i would love to meet her. i would love to pick her brain. but boy, i do not envy the work that girl has to do.

#sterge.rtf #fire emblem #fe3h #edelgard von hresvelg #realistically edelgard is not getting all of this done in her lifetime. but that wouldn't keep her from stepping away anyway #'cause a funny thing happened to edelgard during the crimson flower route: she learned to have faith again. #so even if she couldn't check every box and fix every societal ill she'd still be able to pass the crown to the next ruler. #maybe not without fear. but with confidence. with optimism. with the belief that she's leaving the world better than she found it. #she'd have faith in her people. faith in the future. faith in the groundwork she's laid. faith in the systems she's put in place. #faith that her vision will be carried out with or without her. #and that faith would allow her to eventually let go. #i so love edelgard pulling a george washington and saying nah i'm good on power. peace #though unfortunately i could also see her pulling a teddy roosevelt #and saying nah i'm good on power. peace. wait what are you doing. you're ruining it. you're bungling everything. i can't believe this #and making several (failed and increasingly insane) attempts to get back into politics #who is the taft to edelgard's ted tho. i don't want to do ferdinand the disservice of saying it's him even though i think it's very funny. #it's literally the opposite of his character as taft notoriously sniffed roosevelt's farts for a long time #until he finally pulled his head out of the guy's ass and realized there are other smells. such as the sewer. and garbage. #smells which he pursued quite happily much to ol ted's chagrin #meanwhile ferdinand does not think anything of edelgard's ass except that his is definitely better-looking than hers #(he's wrong on so many levels but you try telling the guy that) #in fact ferdinand has always taken great joy in pointing out all the things that smell better than edelgard does #which gives him an instant up on mr Take-Advice-From-Theodore #all this to say i think ferdinand von aegir would have been a much better president than william howard taft. that's just my opinion. #i'm getting off the rails in these tags idk what's wrong with me #sorry for equating your blorbos to long-dead american politicians everyone. i know this is a cardinal sin #also please don't take this to mean i think positively of washington or roosevelt or taft or whatever. #i hate all dead old white guys who ever held a modicum of power #i just had a hyperfixation on american presidents when i was in grade school and unfortunately now my brain works like this

it makes me sad how many aspec posts (and videos and other individual-generated content) are just being upset about this depiction or that one. we NEED more (semi-mainstream) aspec rep so bad, so that nobody has to feel hurt when 1 kind of aspec that they are not is represented and the only 1 they see :(

#wait have u guys ever seen 'the dangers of a single story' TED talk bc that's what happening to aspecs rn #except many of us also idnetify with the 'single story' so we get hurt when ppl criticize it as bad rep and unrealistic #we NEED to eliminate the single story to stop the aspec negativity chamber. except as individuals we really... can't. #that's another sad part: we can write our own indie stories but it won't really help the root problem bc it won't be popular #enough for a majority of aspecs to see. there will still only be a handful of portrayls most aspecs won't relate to and thus not like #aroace #aro #ace #apl #aspec #aromantic #asexual #aplatonic #arospec #i mean i'll be real we could do a communial magazine but proper publishedor smth but the problem is when it's all centered around 1 identit #having a story frequently becomes incidental... at least that's why i think that sort of thing doesn't really appeal to me in general #i said this #or maybe it's just me thinking of Common Bonds being uninteresting to me #maybe bc i really am apl-spec deep down despite having a very alloplt/plt-normative mindset still

hmmm unfollowing and blocking lots of people

#this is raw in the tags so if you're easily triggered by mental health stuff don't read it!!!!!!!!! #last night i reblogged one of those asylum posts before i was like wait that's fucked up and i deleted it and i feel really bad #like i've been to a mental health hospital a few times i know what it's like in there and how dehumanizing it can feel #i remember everything that happened. and the things i saw and the people i met there. the time i was threatened with sedation. #watching you take your meds and ensuring you swallow them because you can't be trusted #the hard beds and them opening your door every 15 minutes to make sure you aren't hurting yourself #taking my clothes off in front of people multiple times to prove i didn't have drugs and that my self harm scars had already been there #and i'm seeing lots more and other mental health/lobotomy/asylum 'memes' and jokes and it's.... it's really not okay guys #you have to think about how this might make someone else feel who has been through this shit #it's reality and it's not a meme #please be more careful #jen talking to herself #ttpd

Poppy has arrived in Chains of Heart!

Look at the smug bastard looking delicious in his villain era. Poppy always looks so damn fine in a suit.

I still have no idea what is happening in the second episode of Chains of Heart, but it remains visually delectable.

Even when depicting death, it's beautiful!

Chains of Heart is serving looks not answers.

#Chains of Heart #episode 2 #What is happening? #No idea but it's pretty #And Poppy showed up! #Can't wait to see him be the bad guy who shot Din #I love that for him

THEY'RE FUCKIN BACK! JOHN AND THE TEAM ARE BACK!

I'm honestly so damn hyped to see the funny British man again. I can't wait to learn how the system is fucked through depressing clips and funny jokes. And I haven't watched it yet, but I bet the writers are back with full force with their amazing skills. Couldn't be more happy to have them all back, especially now of all times.

#words can't describe how happy I am to see John and the team back #I missed this show so much #welcome back guys #can't wait to see what's in store after everything that's happened it the last few months #last week with john oliver #last week tonight #john oliver #Youtube

#holy shit i hate the fb groups so much #like do NOT tell people dont speculate as if its something bad #we're left with nothing but speculation #you wake up one day and they tell you good morning btw this person is gone anyway bye #and youre just supposed to say ah ok i see thay sucks #?? #obviously the friends and family sre a priority and its way too early to tell the fans anything #but i hava the right to wonder why and how and like. why #it's a natural response to seek closure #and you have a bunch of people who are like oooohhh you can't speculate thats baaaad if friends and family want to share at some point they #will #like shut up dude #i dont claim we have a right to know about what happened because we really dont and this is truly up to the people close to him #and in the end if they want they can also lie #but we do have the right to wonder why something like this happened so suddenly wnd out of nowhere #ranting because i hate it when people tell you it's unethical to ask questions about something even if its just thinking out loud #as an emotional response #like how the fuck do you guys think I'll process this #with this dry and vague announcement #if it works for you great but for me it doesnt really #i know because its been 3h now and im still waiting for them to maybe say something more about it #logically its not going to happen so soon but still

✨pond theories✨

#I don't have pond theories I have commentary on the latest episode which I got around to watching today #because I was watching gran turismo on sunday (amazing movie) (maybe an even better soundtrack I'm listening to it for the third time today #I just really love kat and thomas's dynamic I'm not saying I ship them I'm just saying they're just really fun to watch together #I know it was unrealistic to expect kat to smash a bottle of rum on thomas what with jacob dying in the background but can you #can you just imagine. if she did. can you imagine how great that would be. #and can you imagine how great it would've been to see him unceremoniously drop her into the ocean like. get drenched idiot. #the way home hallmark #also NOAH we finally got a NAME my word #it's so strange they waited this long to mention it like did I miss it before?? #right now he's barely interesting but idk after that scene where they're singing in alice's room #I feel like he might have the potential to be a friend #I just don't want them to make it a ship because good grief do we need it (no) #and not everything has to be a ship #and also girl. alice. you barely know him. why?? #alice asking why guys can't just say what they mean is the most relatable thing I've ever heard lol #I think it'd be interesting if nick put the pieces together that his alice and this alice are the same alice #it'd add to the chaos which would be fun #that look elliot gave nick at the fire on the beach was soooo so tired. he's just so tired. #and please WHAT happened at the estate WHAT went down at the party and WHAT happened in the past that elliot's so worried about #the way they're drawing this out is sublime #also how painful this is for kat?? and for del?? but especially kat in this episode?? wild #what a good episode #earl crow ramblings

moving to the UK has made me develop an irrational fear of ordering take out

#i simply refuse to order at this point like here you go : #i was craving taco bell after ages and i got back from work at 11:45 p.m and placed an order. like literally they were gonna close in #2 mins. and so i wait and i'm so hungry and i open and it's meat. when i'm a vegetarian and i couldn't even order anything else because #it was already midnight #THEN i ordered taco bell in the afternoon next day and same fucking thing happened #THEN one time i was at work it was a long shift and every one of my supervisors know i'm a vegetarian #so they made sure to tell the guy who was serving food to get me the veg lasagna #and i take my food and go to the backroom and it looks suspicious and luckily my friend was around and i #made him take a bite and he was like yep it's meat #and so because of all of this bullshit instead of ordering take out i went to mcdonald's down the road recently #because i was like absolutely not. and i order a veggie burger. and peep in and check to see it's a green box before heading home #and me and b are sat watching gogglebox and i finish my fries and open this green ass box and lo and fucking behold #it's a meat burger. INSIDE a fucking green box that says veg on it #but i was craving mcdonald's badly so i ordered it online. and guess fuckin what. meat again #i basically stopped ordering food and just physically go out to places to eat #and today it's cold and i'm tired so i ordered food from a mexican place and it took two hours for them to #deliver the food #and it was legit supposed to be veggies beans and rice. and guess fucking what. they put meat in it #i can't even get my money back anymore because i've complained too much but what the fuck honestly #YOU keep sending me meat 😭😭😭😭😭 #i'll just make some quick pasta and call it a day 😔✊ #food mention

Okay I'm actually going a little insane in my enclosure

#ramblings of a lunatic #I'm a bad studier (piss poor concentration and lack of hard skills on How To Do It) and i have locked myself into. like #it's like Waiting Mode (you guys know what I'm talking about) but I'm waiting for the exam to happen and its bad and scary. I'm scared #don't get me wrong I've got things I'm looking forward too when its all over #(I'm gonna see my friends! we're gonna do stuff! I HAVE TICKETS TO BOYGENIUS WITH MY FRIENDS IN AUGUST FUCK MAN!!!) #but the actual exam period right now when i can't even like. feel productive bc I'm such a poor studier #is uhhhh killing me a teeny bit ngl #i can't even let myself get lost in the hyperfix sauce bc then i know my inability to study will get ten times worse

[roobylavender]

it’s really quite concerning to me how many people are black and white about bruce’s no killing rule (esp in recent years) bc i don’t think there’s a full cognizance yet of how easily that insistence upon all killing being the same and equally deplorable can facilitate the white supremacist rhetoric that believes killing oppressors is equivalent to killing the oppressed, anti-racism is equivalent to racism, etc. it’s why it’s always odd to me how mike w. barr is such a frowned upon batman writer for depicting a bruce who will not necessarily go out of his way to kill but will not save certain villains either bc he understands the egregious of their crimes and inflicted harm upon humanity. it’s a “gray area” that’s necessary to explore esp when taking into account the harm inflicted upon marginalized communities at large, and even then barr wasn’t free from falling prey to the rhetoric that all intentional violence is equivalent regardless of which race or class of people it was perpetuated by. obv i agree with most people that in context of under the red hood bruce is right to not use his vigilantism as an excuse to play god and decide who lives or dies, and i always make the point that bruce originally was intent to kill the joker only to be stopped from doing so by other people. but i wonder now if the conclusions to under the red hood and jason’s depiction thereafter inadvertently allowed for the facilitation of that white supremacist rhetoric i mentioned earlier bc jason being written by a white writer didn’t allow for a proper contention with the topic of marginalized communities and their relationship with violent resistance. the complexity of the no kill rule and whether it enables oppressors (even in cases where bruce is more lenient and willing to allow villains to die despite not pulling the trigger himself) is something that needs to be addressed by nonwhite writers specifically, and it’s no wonder that the potential for really potent social commentary with it is all but absent in the modern day considering main batman titles have never been written by anyone other than white men, not to mention the genre is alarmingly christian dominated now despite its jewish anti-fascist origins 

#this is an incoherent mess sorry. i read dc annual two and i have a lot of thoughts #short summary of the issue: a story about bruce's brief time being mentored under a detective in huntsville #they were both on a case where a group of men in their fiftiesish kept being lynched #and bruce eventually discovers that the mastermind is a biracial black man who is killing these men in retaliation for their activities #as klan members. bc one of them happened to father a child (him) with his black mother and she 'blackmailed' that klan member #so in retaliation he and his friends raided her town and slaughtered everyone including her #so now as revenge her son decided to get back at these klan members #and in the end it's like. bruce moralizing to the guy about how killing is wrong blah blah blah and vengeance is bad or whatever #like he does mention once that maybe the guy's 'victims' deserved it but #he's unequivocally written as frowning upon it and making the guy feel bad for avenging his mother bc she was literally a klan victim #and idk it just got me thinking like. even in the best case scenarios where bruce is lenient about who he's okay with seeing die #at what point does he become an enabler bc he's just waiting for some of the bad people to die #bc he's in that place of privilege as a white man who doesn't have to think about taking action into his own hands #marginalized communities can't just wait for their oppressors to die. and it's alarming to make bruce lecture a black man about that esp #oh btw the best part about all of this is this issue was written by mark waid lol. fucking racist weirdo #personal essays

evan and emma kissed one (1) time and then immediately made a pact to never mention it to anyone ever

#emma: so. that was not my thing. in related news i think i'm a lesbian #evan (similarly disturbed): thanks for the??? gender affirmation i guess??? #dark lord wip #i was thinking about this in the wake of writing something sweeter #because understandably i wrote it as regulus never having kissed anyone #with the assumption that evan at least sort of knew what he was doing b/c he's evan #but then i was like: wait. Who Has Evan Kissed #the next question is 'Whose Idea Was This' and i can't decide which is funnier #emma going 'hm i mean i GUESS if i were to date a guy it would be evan? like if i had to?' #or evan going 'well my sister fell in love with HER bestie so i guess it's a thing that can happen??' #i can't see either of them approaching this with anything like enthusiasm #but i also think it definitely happened #in a 'ok let's rule this out' kind of way #And They Sure Fucking Did Rule It Out #evan: i like girls just....... not you #emma: and i genuinely appreciate that #i should go to bed afshgjsghf
