Ngl, kinda sad we didn't get to witness Percy having a chat with the zebra but it's okay ig...

On another note that car scene had me on the edge of my seat like that's the most intense thing in the whole show, all because lover boy couldn't stop staring at Annabeth–

#been learning how to drive recently #i've been there #with them in the car during the whole shit #Percy baby you don't know how much anxiety you induced #but I mean that's Annabeth #can't blame him #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo tv adaptation

"adora was only truly happy with catra" maybe s5 tried to convince you that, but the rest of the show says otherwise.

hell, in the first two eps of spop, adora was at her happiest getting to eat good food, going to parties, seeing a horse for the first time... and funnily enough, adora never seems to think of catra in these instances. like "wow catra would love this". (though for some reason i remember that quick exchange where catra mocks adora for having a flower over her ear, and adora just tosses it away. maybe i'm going too deep here but it probably says a lot about their dynamic)

like i know it's a silly and quick montage but even then, adora never seems to remember catra in a positive light once they're separated. the only times adora mentions catra are out of guilt - she thinks she's responsible for pushing catra away even though she called catra to join her -, or out of fear, like in s2 when she has a panic attack bc of catra.

like adora was at her happiest when she didn't have to worry about catra. and can you even blame her?

My Ninjago sin is that I love season 11. It's my favorite season, I rewatch it all the time and it's become a tradition for me to watch it every New Years up to midnight instead of... partying and socializing or whatever most people like to do on New Years. I'm 20 years old

Girl, I've got an hour long video essay defending season 11- you know I ain't about to fault you for liking one of the most underrated entries of the show. And hey, do whatever you want at new years, but... maybe find someone to do it with?

You don't have to go out and be super social all night or anything just... spend some time with someone on new years.

#not a ninjago sin #but an introvert sin #spending large holiday by yourself when you know any amount of human interaction would instantly make it better #I've been there #fight the impulse to be by yourself #ninjago #asks #thanks anon! #give me your sins

okay so of course i could just write an angry rant at Aziraphale, blame him and say it's all his fault. And of course i'm mad at him like "i forgive you" THE FUCK YOU MEAN I FORGIVE YOU WELL I DON'T FORGIVE *YOU*-

but my point is, it's nobody's fault. As much as i hate it, as easy it would be to blame him, it's not Aziraphale's nor Crowley's fault. The problem is the conflicting priorities, values and motives and well, of course, their communication.

Crowley just wants to be with Aziraphale, he loves him obviously, he even offered him to run away together to Alfa Centauri and when he saw Beelezbub and Gabriel do what he always wanted - he thought that maybe, just maybe, it's now possible for him and Aziraphale as well. He doesn't care about heaven nor hell, he just cares about "their" side - them and only them. He doesn't want to go back to being an angel - he no longer is one for a reason. He doesn't want to go back to hell either. He just wants to be with Aziraphale and that's it. Maybe also keep his Bentley.

While Aziraphale is an idealist. He wants to make a change. He genuinely believes in people being good and archangels being good even though they treat him like trash. He firmly believes he can make heaven a better place, which means he can see it's flaws but he still thinks he can single-handedly fix it. Well, who am I to judge, as an archangel actually maybe he can. We don't know that. But Crowley seems skeptical. And if they kicked out Gabriel just for saying no to a plan... I don't think he has huge chances. But I digress. The point is, he believes it. And it's important to him. He views it as his duty. Sure, there is a place for Crowley in his idealistic version of reality - in heaven, with him, like the old times, everything perfect. But this vision doesn't include how Crowley himself feels about it. And as we established, Crowley doesn't want to go back to heaven.

Actually he kind of does the same thing. He offers Aziraphale running away together, not thinking whether he could do what he wants (making heaven better and performing his duties in general).

So again, they love each other and want each other to be in their lives but also don't really see or understand each other's needs and goals. And there is way too much tension and unsaid emotions between them to sit down and try to talk about it, instead they have to shout at each other and be lost and not understand why the other one doesn't see it the same way. If they had more time, if their feelings for each other weren't being repressed for so long, they could talk it through, take it slower, establish that they love each other and that they're each other's top priority and start building from there. It would at least prevent some miscommunication about each other's priorities, because for us it's painfully obvious but for them, it isn't.

But well, it wasn't the case. So Crowley gives up. He realizes that he proposed Aziraphale a future together, he opened up and was honest about his feelings and he turned him down both of the times. He thinks it's a lost cause, it'll never work out, there is nothing more he can do and he'll be heartbroken and alone forever. So if he never sees Aziraphale again, then he can at least do what he had wanted for millennia. Because sure, it's gonna hurt, but he won't feel the consequences if he'll never see him again. So he kisses Aziraphale. Just to know how it feels, just to remember this moment for eternity, even if every time he remembers it it's gonna hurt like hell itself. Or heaven, for that matter. And the kiss is awful. It's forced, Aziraphale is shocked, hurt, he doesn't know what to do but he doesn't kiss Crowley back. And Crowley kisses him still, to remember what it feels like forever, because it's never gonna happen again. At last he retreats, knowing that whatever reaction he might get, it probably can't be worse already.

And then Aziraphale says "I forgive you". He looks almost betrayed, scared, aching. We don't know if he wanted it. He probably did. But surely not under such circumstances. And the mix of guilt, righteousness, fear, regret and somewhere there the desire to kiss him back and never let go make him so confused and lost that he doesn't know how to react. But in the end the betrayal of trust that a forced kiss is, probably also a destroyed another one of his perfect visions of their first kiss but also the good in his heart that doesn't allow him to be properly mad at Crowley make him say only the simple "I forgive you".

Which for him is probably a positive message. But for Crowley it's acknowledging that he did something wrong. That he had hurt his Angel. And he can't bear the thought. For him it's a point of no return. So he leaves.

Aziraphale stands there, still in shock but he doesn't have the time to process, because Mettatron comes back with his offer. He agrees because really, what else is there to do? At least it will keep his mind busy. That's how he copes. After their little argument back in the 19th century I believe, he was learning how to dance with a bunch of kind gentlemen that made him forget. At least for a moment. How did Crowley deal with it? We don't know. Probably not the best. We've seen how he reacted when he thought Aziraphale was dead, in the burning bookshop. It didn't go well. And I doubt it will this time. To sum it up, it's terrible. It's awful. I hate it. So Neil... We better have a season three full of fluff. But honestly, I don't know how they could possibly fix this. If you're reading this far, congratulations and thank you, I'll go back to crying now.

Two questions hehe

Do you have an opinion on clone shippings in sw? Basically what if an obikin shipper is an anti at the same time :(((

Are you open for people to slide into your dms to chat about sw? :D

I support everyone who likes it, even though I'm so hyperfixated on obikin that I don't ship anything else. It doesn't light up my brain, but I have zero objections to people chasing their bliss. The idea of an obikin shipper being an anti is deeply disappointing to me, because if anyone should understand what it's like to be harassed about a fictional ship, it's one of us. Maybe they haven't gotten messages encouraging them to kill themselves or calling them a child abuser like I have, but regardless they should be aware that it's not anyone else's business to interfere in what other people ship or how they ship it. If it doesn't light up your brain, filter the tag and move along, you know? People writing and making art is something to encourage, not shut down.

I wish beyond anything that I could answer 'yes' to this, but that would be a disservice to the ten or so people who I need to reply to already and haven't. I'm a weird hermit who gets overwhelmed by one-on-one conversations bc they take more social energy than I have on most days. Sorry >.< there are so many cool people on here that I genuinely regret I don't have the energy to befriend everyone and maintain those friendships. Maybe someday where I'm not quite as severely depressed the answer to this will be yes, but not yet <3

#asks #if you're a clone shipper who has gotten hate #know my heart goes out to you #i've been there #and it fucking sucks #and if it came from an obikin shipper i don't know what to say #except i'm sorry for members of my community behaving so badly #it's not appropriate #be KIND everyone that's the key to enjoying this hobby

[the-chickenshit-oddity]

okay, so the stressful thing is done, i survived, the anxiety ebbed away and now, now i feel the pain. i mean, it's workout pain, so it's good pain, because i'm clever like that, but still. it did help though, that thing could've been much worse. next week, the exact same. i'm gonna be so fit if i keep having to exercise my anxiety away.

#stupid #ps: not that you're dumb if you choose the bad pain as a coping mechanism #i've been there #i just value efficency #so now i get exercise which is healthy and anxiety relief all in one #who doesn't love a good 2 for 1 deal
