Me, leaning on a wall drinking a CBD kombucha in sunglasses on a cloudy day, having lived through Critical Role episodes C1 E68, C1 E85, C1 E102, C2 E26, C2 E140, C3 E3, C3 E33, and C3 E91 live:

"Hey, you know what the funniest fucking outcome to this horrible death would be? Or the most heart rending tragedy possible that makes Macbeth feel like a happy ending? Here let me post through the very real and intense grief I'm feeling with memes."

#If you're really going through it with sadness that is a totally valid feeling right now #honestly probably healthier than distancing through shitposting #this is just where I'm personally at after being so moved by these stories so much in the end #I love my blorbos so much and I'd love an ending where they survive and thrive #but I'm also a certified tragedy enjoyer and also live a meaningful death #or a meaningful resurrection #critical role #critical role spoilers #critical role memes #Critical Role campaign 1 #Critical Role campaign 2 #critical role campaign 3 #Vox Machina #Mighty Nein #Bell's Hells #Percival de Rolo #Scanlan Shorthalt #Vax'ildan #Mollymauk Tealeaf #Lucien Tavelle #Bertrand Bell #Fresh Cut Grass #l

i love the mountain goats songs that are about how something bad is about to happen but it’s not happening yet, or maybe it’s already happening and you’re just riding out the joy you’ve found in a place where bad things can’t touch you. that’s just life innit

#hostages heretic pride waylon jennings live! cry for judas amy aka spent gladiator one. mwah #I’ve also made this exact post before but it’s so life affirming to watch jd bounce around stage beaming with his dad friends singing a song #about surviving soemthing that could’ve killed him at 17. it was years between him being 17 and writing the sunset tree #and almost 20 years since the sunset tree. and the song stays the same but we all get older and it becomes longer and longer since he #survived and started thriving. idk I understand why music saves people #tmg #my posts

Not enough writers exploring the idea of bruce retiring from batman and becoming the bats new tech guy once lucius fox dies/retires. Like, bruce is actually pretty good at coming up with new gadgets and incorporating new/alien technologies into the bat stuff so really, I think it would be really cool?? Also, he could help oracle on his free time, and I feel like this would work really well with his paranoid and controlling tendencies, and he would be thriving in a job like this. Not to mention that he would still be helping the league with strategies, research and the diplomatic stuff, so no need for him to stop working with them. And he still has his charity work as bruce wayne.

So my point is, while of course we can all agree that everything bruce does as batman is important, I wouldn't say that activelly being on the field is the most important of his tasks, especially by the time he gets old and has dozens of allies doing it with him. I mean, he already trained a lot of heroes to work in gotham and there's a few of them who are just as skilled as him, some who are even better, so really, him retiring from that and focusing on his other duties as he gets older feels very natural and a much more compelling plotline to follow than just yk killing him off and then having the batfam fight about who's gonna take the mantle (i don't even think someone needs to)

#so many writes making plotlines about batman changing and becoming something NEW and IMPROVED bc gotham changed and he's older #and bro i'm not seeing it i'm not seeing the change #drac rambles #also i just love when characters think they're gonna die fighting and never get to be old but then they survive and have the opportunitie to #enter a new chapter in their lives and really start thinking about what they wanna do now that they plan to live and have a future #<- having flashbacks about dean winchester btw #but yeah let bruce be old and thriving! #also if we could get to see both him and ghostmaker retiring at the same time #and discovering what they're gonna do now together #just like they learned how to fight and become vigilantes together #my heart would be very pleased 🥀 #batman #bruce wayne

Summary:

"I don't write much flowery stuff." Nancy tells her quietly after Robin points out the way the chollas cast their shadows like claws. "I mean- newspaper journalism doesn't have much flexibility for that, you have to get the information in as a priority- but I think I could write about- about this.". Nancy smiles over at her. The stetson she's borrowed shadows her eyes but she still squints with the bright sun in their peripheral. Robin wants to reach out, to place her palm to Nancy's cheek to protect her from the glow.

 "Are you talking about the view?" She asks hoarsely, hand staying loyally at her own side.

Nancy doesn't answer, but her eyes don't leave Robins.

@unbeleveable the little mermaid au bc we're gay and we like mermaids shut up 🐟

She enjoyed the sea, for the most part. Marisa enjoyed breathing in the air, the sound of the waves, how nice the water felt (although she didn't enjoy it in her hair, as the salty smell lingered in it). They were traveling home after a long journey, Marisa being hinted at again by her majordomo, after receiving a birthday present of a portrait of her. While the portrait was lovely, his comment wasn't.

"I wish it could be a wedding present." he chuckled.

"I don't believe I'm suitable for marriage, Thorold." she insisted. "Besides, my mother wasn't married for most of her reign. Why should I have to be?"

"But she was married at first." Thorold pointed out. "Being a queen who was widowed is very different from being a queen that never married." His expression was soft and subtly concerned. "All I'm saying is that now that you're Queen, Your Majesty, there are different expectations of you. Your mother produced an heir, and you will be expected to do the same. Besides, I think you would flourish if you were in love." He smiled.

Marisa looked out into the sea, leaning on the ship's railing.

"I don't think I know what love is." she murmured.

I want to live in a house with people who love me. There is sunlight coming in the windows. Something smells wonderful in the kitchen. Laughter and music drift in from another room. Maybe there are some vegetables growing outside, or a really fat cat. It isn't perfect, it's maybe cramped, maybe messy, but it's enough.

#franposting #literally. that trigun piece got me #can u tell living in hell (parents) has been weighing on me even more lately #i mean. i would also tske living alone over this #i get lonely easily but also im a weird introvert creachure #love parallel play and cohabitation #but also need a lot of downtime #anyway. anyway. anyway. #i can dream. even if i know its not real #gotta keep myself sane somehow #because. because im slowly dying and every good thing is being choked out of me #i need to live on my own terms again. i was never so happy or hopeful or free aa that #now is just. survival. but i want to thrive and live

i need to talk to gansey and what i need to talk to him about is how the fuck he kept multiple mint plants happily alive indoors. that does not happen.

#(yes i do not have a good track record w houseplants) #but my boy was constantly abusing those plants #and mint does not thrive inside #and those plants were canonically surviving enough to produce enough leaves to be consistently plucked #the most logical solution i can come up with is that gansey was continuously replacing said plants #his mother does canonically gift him a new plnt #and its then like goldfish being replaced #but that doesnt fully track with who he is as a person #so he must have some sort of indoor/outdoor rotation system? #or some other gardening skills or botanical knowladge? #bc i know who he is in terms of soul and potential #but i also know how he lives #and how he lives does not support having a desk by an always open sunny window #unless it does #richard gansey iii #trc #the raven cycle

“lucas, i’m scared. i’m so scared. i’m so scared. i don't wanna die. i’m not ready. i don't wanna go! i’m not ready.” if the duffers kill max in s5 after that we will be having words.

#not only would it destroy the message of hope and perseverance in the face of personal struggles- the message that’s been a consistent #thread through all four seasons- it would make max’s first “death” scene incredibly pointless when it could have been #so impactful had it been real #obviously i very much want max alive and healthy and happy but there’s something so cinematic and so awe-inspiring about that #shot of max in lucas’ arms with el by her side and the blue light bouncing off their blood-and-tear-soaked faces #before the camera draws back and begins to spin over them... anyway. my point is: #i will be very angry if they end up killing max via coma when they had OPTIONS. well. one option. but it was a really extraordinary option. #her death in s5 despite /everything/ would cheapen the final season immensely and would come off as almost laughably #desperate- but above all so so CRUEL to max and her friends #if she can't live and she can't just die in the attic don't prolong her and her friends' suffering for a far less impactful departure #and furthermore if she can’t live don’t purposefully degrade the meaning and remove the consequences #of a visually and emotionally stunning moment to string along viewers who want to know if max is going to be okay either!!!! #they're already on thin ice from the whole 'el revives max' thing (which i will expand upon in another post) but i've made my peace with it #because it kept max alive and it would actually tear me in two if she died for real but even so. thin fucking ice. to drag max over to #another season after all of that fragile ice walking- only to pass on resolving her arc in a careful way- would be devastating. #in terms of emotional and visual impact we have ‘max actually dying in the creel attic’ up /here/ #(imagine my hand hovering slightly above my hairline) #‘max pulling through the coma and learning to survive and thrive’ right /here/ (hand at eyeline) #and ‘max dying at the hospital’ allllll the way down /here/ (hand at stomach) #which would really fucking SUCK #to be clear i think she’s going to pull through the coma (thank god) because a) the duffers are cowarddddds and b) narrative reasons that #i don’t have enough time energy or tag space to elaborate on #but i also have trust issues from this season so i can envision a scenario in which they metaphorically pull the rug out from under #us and we all riot at dawn together <3 #max mayfield #stranger things #s4 spoilers #** #millie talks #st 4

iiii like to hc that someday in the future when tav dies and astarion doesn't because he's immortal that he goes down into the underdark and finally makes amends with all of the spawn he brought to cazador all those centuries ago. where he can see that all of the work he did, that impossible choice of giving up ascension to be better, that it all paid off in the end because the spawn have built themselves a civilization that's thriving and happy. that he can sit down next to sebastian and properly, truly apologize. sebastian has no obligation to forgive him, certainly, but there's an understanding between them of the position astarion was in at the time and the fact that, no matter how horrible what he did was, he did not have a choice. and id hope by that point that maybe astarion would have healed enough as a person to understand that and not hate himself forever for his part in ruining these people's lives, but also i feel like he'd be just as likely to take a place there beside them for a time just to feel like he's making up for just a sliver of it. idk i really want a fic where astarion and sebastian just talk post-game, because their interaction in game shattered my heart

#bg3 #tama talks #astarion #bg3 spoilers #i just think about what happens to all of those spawn a lot #like how do they fare in the underdark?? how do they survive?? are rhey all ok?? do they thrive? #i like to think that they do #i imagine the other 6 og spawn take leadership positions to help organize them all and teach them how to control their hunger #maybe they find some way to get blood through hunting or trading or something idk #mass deals with butchershops lmao #but i rlly wonder what it would be like for astarion to visit them years and years down the line and see how these people #who he was half tempted to either use for his own ascension or just kill out of fear they would become problems being loose in the world #are surviving and okay and kind and living #everything he always wanted #in a way tav gave that to him #and gave that to them as well #like damn lasting impacts of being good people really puts it into perspective #maybe it is worth it to be kind even if no one had been kind to you because look what it can create #idk im sappy

here's the thing about shadow: his role, as the protector/savior of the world, is already being utilized. there's someone else filling his role. sonic.

shadow fulfilling his goal of protecting the world would have been fine as a one off thing. shadow being the protector and dying valiantly thus fulfilled what gerald and maria originally intended for him. he kept his promise to maria, even at the ultimate cost.

but by bringing him back from the dead, sega brought about a very big question- what do we do with him now? the role he wants is already being filled. there's not really a need for him. so what's left for him?

i don't think sega honestly has a concrete answer. the route they seem to take is that shadow's trying to let go of his past but also keep maria's promise. but i think, for both fans and sega, that they put far too much emphasis on maria's promise. i don't think it's a satisfying arc for shadow to save the world just because he feels he has to, just because he promised he would, just because he was intended to do so. shadow 05 was all about a deep exploration into morality and identity. what is shadow, now that maria and gerald are no longer in his life? what is shadow, now that someone is already fulfilling the role of the hero?

personally, if i had been in charge, i would have put him on team chaotix. having shadow align with g.u.n. is frankly a bad move- the very same branch of government that literally killed shadow's family and is filled to the brim with corruption? i don't see shadow joining, not willingly. and i definitely don't see him joining as an alternative to being a hero. the commander and him still have a lot of unresolved conflict and there's the fact that g.u.n. KILLED maria and EXECUTED gerald.

i think him being a part of team chaotix would be a good compromise. shadow's allowed to let go of his past, to no longer live up to the expectations of others. he's not just fulfilling a role, he's not just doing what he was always originally intended to do- he's carving out his own path and his own identity but he's still able to keep maria's promise, just on a smaller scale. he helps the chaotix with smaller level cases, helps keep people smiling and happy, becomes a hero to the little people.

the chaotix could definitely help him loosen up and learn to create his own identity without worrying about other people's perception. shadow fufills his promise without compromising the idea of giving him a life separate to the one gerald and gun intended for him. he's not a weapon or a cure or a saviour or whatever. he can just be shadow.

#there is something quite lovely to me in the idea of weapon of revenge shadow the hedgehog #ends up being some guy that helps old ladies cross the street or gets cats out of trees #its about the choice of living a peaceful life after seeing so much hate and tragedy #its about being able to choose mundanity #its not about surviving or fighting or whatever #its about thriving #sega official speaks #i don't know #like im fond of the idea that shadow wants to keep his promise but i always HATE how much like..... spotlight/focus is on that aspect #i think its counterintuitive to have him only be a hero because of maria #i honestly don't think thats particualry canon #or at least wasn't the direction they were going with him until they jsut gutted his character into edgy sonic rival #in my mind he'd more of a bonus back up character #like he's plan b if something goes wrong with sonic #but he wouldn't be a part of the main cast #also i don't necessarily mind team dark as a family but i just don't really think they would be able to #and i stress #HEALTHILY give shadow a sense of identity while fufilling maria's promise #omega can teach shadow how to live beyond what his creators wanted from him #and rouge can teach him the value of selfishness #the value of your own life #but ultimately i don't think they would give him the color he's looking for #the two of them live VERY exciting lives too #and i think it would be nice for shadow to end up being a bit more mundane. still here to help but in his own way. #after years of thinking youre just a weapon or you just need to dish out revenge #years of straggling and uncertainty. i think he deserves a bit of peace. like emerl/gemerl did. #etc etc etc etc also i think it would be funny for shadow and charmy to be on the same team. thank you for your time

Bad vibes but 13 dying after she convinces Yaz, somehow, to leave, and Yaz knows it has to happen and it shows growth from the timeless children because she lets it, and we get the same shot of Yaz as she walks off and hears 13 dying as we got of 13 walking off in demons of the Punjab where we hear the fatal gunshot.

And the final lesson in Yaz's Doctorfication is that, no matter how much you want to help people... Sometimes you can't. It's that you tried.

#dw shit #they'd never kill a doctor via gunshot BUT imagi ne the parallels #so yaz goes back to sheffield #and Lives #and it hurts but it's fine #she will survive and thrive and be happy #just like Umbreen #yes i Am obsessed with dotp parallels what of it? #Ryan's last doctor lesson was 'the doctor fights back when necessary' #yaz's should be imo.... recognising you can't always win but that it matters that you tried #basically 13's entire thing

sometimes i see ppl praise nds for being passionate about their interests and just feel bad :/

#mine.txt #tw vent #ig #this isnt really directed towards anyone #since were in the audhd website this is honestly to be expected #but like idk my passion is entirely artificial and manufactured #something made in conjunction with me and my mind to make my stay here feel like its worth something #not in the existential sense but in the transactional sense ie its worth it to stay alive cause this and that keeps me entertained #and id see all these genuine shows of passion and im just like. how. #cause the thing is im not depressed im actually quite content with my life even with its down moments #but i kinda have an ingrained neutral nihilism in me wherein i dont think much of reality and existence #it makes survival easy but living and thriving so so hard #cause why waste energy doing all that when in the end its all the same anyway #i do things in the moment if they make me happy ofc #but they rarely ever go past a moment #its why even now i struggle with the concept of happy memories #theyre just memories to me
