#she’s compassionate and caring

[kaltacore]

merrill dragon age isn't The Character in terms of being the guy with the juiciest backstory details or protagonist material but she is The Person. The Heart. she was working on one of the most important researches of elven history and no one believed in her. not her keeper, her teacher and mother figure. nor her clan, the only family she's ever had. nor hawke's friends, the only people who were surrounding her for six years. the only person who can actually place their faith in her is hawke but if they don't she won't mind. she is used to it, being on her own. and, despite everything, she believes in people. she knows it matters. better than anyone.

she has never heard a nice word from fenris, but she still tries to cheer him up from time to time. she has never heard a nice word from anders either and she still feels for him. varric annoys her when he tries to distract her from the eluvian, but she appreciates it because she knows he means well. aveline refers to her work as senseless and potentially dangerous for the city, but she is still happy for her when she falls in love.

if hawke sides with mages in the last straw merrill is the first to support them. "I believe in you, hawke", she says, when everyone else is consumed by doubt. and then she's the only one who openly suggests sparing anders. so he can put things right.

she knows the feeling. when you're on your own and everyone thinks you're beyond salvation, undeserving of compassion or understanding. and this is the best she can offer for people she cares about: her unconditional faith, her sympathy, a second chance. the things she was desparately looking for and never had. she believes in people because she knows: there's no one else to believe in them

#going through my screenshots and every time i see 'i believe in you hawke' i want to explode #she's an unacknowledged genius but also she's the brightest person in kirkwall with the heart of gold #and i wish we talked about her smartness and willingness to discuss and defend her opinions more #but she's also genuinely such a good person. not in the 'haha silly pretty and clueless naive girl' way #but in the 'thoughtful and caring and compassionate woman who tries to learn from her mistakes and deepest regrets' way #her banters are full of these themes. believing and second chances and atonement and it just makes me feel things #if i were to put it all in this post it would be practically endless because i really lack the ability to shut up #spiraling back into my merrill brainrot. i love her i love her i love her so much #merrill #dragon age

So it's kind of implied that yaad takes care of thistle after everything, and I guess the villagers probably help, but I'm also curious... would falin help? Would she sit with them and hold them the way she did as the red dragon? Would she take them on little adventures or bring them especially tasty snacks? Idk I need to know what happens there!!

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #thistle dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #dungeon meshi manga spoilers #thinking about thistle makes me so sad!!! #i just want them to get the same quality of life as mithrun!! #poor baby :( #also like im not about turning falin into some sort of mom character against her actual characterisation #but she is deeply compassionate and as the red dragon she clearly cared fo this misguided little imp #i think if she had seen what the lion dod to them in their last coherent moments she would have gone ballistic

I think calling sesshomaru a racist is a bit of a stretch. Yes that applies to koga but I’d say sesshomaru is classist not racist

Calling people of a certain race “vile creatures” is, in fact, racist.

“But he changed! He developed compassion for humans!” he learned that there’s some humans & hanyo that he can tolerate/respect, and he cares for Rin, but he still sees human lives in general as worthless even at the very end of the series.

(Mind you Rin had already spent some time in that village at that point and Kaede took care of her. The thought that she might care about Kaede and the other people in the village doesn’t even cross his mind so even his care for Rin doesn’t extend very far)

But you’re right he’s classist too, and generally completely incompatible with someone like Kagome Higurashi.

#ask #Anon #sesshomaru-critical #sesskag-critical #Not about you anon but it annoys when sess/kag shippers admit they don’t understand why Kagome loves Inuyasha #like…. it’s extremely clear in various scenes that she loves him because he’s compassionate and a hero despite all his barking #also #the fact that he cares about Kikyo and want to save her despite her being undead IS an example of his compassion and loyalty #maybe Sesshomaru and Koga don’t have exes for a reason you know #(ignoring Ayame bc she’s not canon) #anyway that had nothing to do with your ask lol

No one left behind 😭👍, that was so cheesy of Felix but I love that for him.

It was SO cheesy and I'm SO proud of him. I think Felix has the biggest heart in the Blue Lions, which is saying a lot. He's way too loyal and loves way too much and it burns him. He's one of the characters who changes most throughout the story, and it was rewarding to show him grow up. And I loved writing him as a POV character, he was perfect - perceptive, insightful, funny, provocative, has lots of internal conflict, starts a lot of external conflict, says what he thinks. and emotionally intelligent or stupid as the situation calls for. 10/10 character.

The conceit of the AU was, of course, "what if the Blue Lions stayed together during the time skip". They were each other's only safety and security, the only people they trusted, and in the most dangerous situation possible they were each other's only safe harbor. The Rules were why they stayed to take care of Dimitri (ergo, it's also "AU where Dimitri wasn't alone for five years"), but I think it was taking care of Dimitri that finally solidified them as a family. To them, it was a replication of what Byleth had done - gaining the ability to show compassionate, empathic, and unconditional love because that love was given to them. As Byleth gains the ability to feel love through the love felt for her. Byleth's upcoming arc is very much a 'oh no, I'm having feelings' journey. AKA Come get your Dimileth food lol

I think Felix is a very loving person, but his love had fueled his hatred and resentment, and he had to re-learn how to show it. That involved releasing a lot of things within him. Becoming a caretaker tends to mature you fast, for better or for worse, and Felix had to process a lot of stuff very quickly. I think namely the fact that Dimitri and Felix had been caught in a toxic PTSD cycle of Felix punishing Dimitri and Dimitri using Felix as a way to punish himself. I think Felix's desire to punish Dimitri was stonewalled by Dimitri's psychotic break, because it must have become incredibly apparent that Dimitri was punishing himself enough for the both of them - and that there was no point to punishing Dimitri at all when Dimitri could barely even understand him. Everybody's seen Dimitri homicidal now and everybody believes him. The homicidality has lost a lot of its monstrousness and evil - it just seems sad, now, the misdirected fear of a sick person. There's no satisfaction out of hating Dimitri anymore. There's no longer any point. And Felix is left alone with the fact that the boy he loved is sick, and needs him, and if Felix was cruel to him now then it would only be cruelty for the sake of cruelty, and he would be no better than Dimitri. I think Felix forgave him, and I think it took a lot of maturity.

Felix's journey is super interesting. He got, like, two side stories with his POV just because I found him so interesting. This is also really why I'm not a Dimitri/Felix person - what they actually have going on is just so much more interesting (same reason I'm not a Dimitri/Dedue guy - Dimitri and Dedue's actual thing is FAR more fascinating). Felix's decision to forgive Dimitri wasn't about Dimitri - it was about Felix, and Felix being nineteen years old, and facing a crossroads of his life where he decided what kind of person he wanted to be (again, another journey Byleth has). Would he exhibit decency, humanity, and compassion to the person he hated the most? And if he did, would it release something old and rotten within him? Who knows! We will! When I post Catleth!

#my asks #my writing #to emphasize something ive emphasized b4 in other contexts: #dimtri did not have to earn compassionate care. #when ur in a vulnerable period that care is a human right #during part 2 Dimitri is actively a deeply unpleasant person to be around #and its not easy to be the people who support him. but it wasn't in question #it's dimitri he's a blue lion blue lions stick together #byleth is a deeply empathic person who extends unconditional care and compassion to kids who need it #when she's barely more than a kid herself #nobody else is around to take responsibility and step up and provide what the kids deserve #so she does it no complaints #and BECAUSE the BL recieve that from byleth #they can give it to dimitri #and BECAUSE dimitri recieves that #he can give it to byleth #i definitely want to talk more about that when i post part 2 bc #that's the point of the story. lol.

got 12clara on the brain do we all agree the cloisters confession involved them having some sort of time lord psychic exchange

idk if this is something other people have thought about, obviously they said they love each other normal style as well but i feel like there arent gonna be any words that could scratch the surface of the Everything

itd be the most emotionally intense thing either of them had ever experienced like 1000 acid trips at once but all that remains of it in the doctor’s mind is a beautiful song. clara, on the other hand, gets 4.5 billion years worth of suffering beamed into her mind in a matter of seconds and goes absolutely batshit insane (moreso than she already was)

#*person whos done acid once voice* woah itd be just like doing acid #post hell bent clara being properly evil is a really fun idea i dont think about it enough #but it makes sense right #she became more and more like the doctor in the worst ways #and now the person she cares about infinitely more than anything else is gone #and its not like ashildr will be the compassionate human companion to stop her doing genocides #twelveclara #going back to my original point this is def something ive accepted to be true basically since the episode comes out #i feel like they would have done psychic stuff all the time anyway like clara was flying the tardis and shit she could do that too #but every time theyd both have big massive vault doors with a billion locks stopping any kind of feelings getting out lmao #maybe psychic time lord stuff is a metaphor for sex maybe not up to you #fresh n sexy dr who tag #mine

#just saw a post that was like 'if you have religious or moral objections that stop you from providing certain types of medical care maybe #you shouldn't work in healthcare' (paraphrased) and... #what a way to look at the world tbh #like. they're talking about me i think - i am a conscientious objector when it comes to euthanasia #(which granted has come up exactly twice and both cases in a theoretical capacity only this is not a frequent request to me) #and... i am also a good doctor #last week i told someone that her weight doesn't matter to her health with receipts to prove it and she cried #no one had ever told her that before #and that was something that came from me specifically. that was something i would not trust all of the GPs in my practice - a practice of #excellent and compassionate GPs! - to say #i am verifiably doing good in my job that is coming from specifically who i am as a person #i cannot put that down when it comes to issues i care deeply about #fundamentally the fact that i cannot put it down is what makes me a good doctor #i think that's what i'm trying to get at #the reason that i do well by my patients is that i practice out of my values and my ethics #if i did not stand on that core i would not stand at all #so you can't have it both ways. you can't have engaged and active and compassionate healthcare providers without sometimes those engaged an #active providers having things they do not feel comfortable doing #and it is to everyone's service if they are up front about it and do not try to hide (i am suspicious of people who try to hide this) #i am literally figuring this all out as i type hence the v long tag ramble and also being nowhere near the post that started this train #(honestly in med school we talked so much about ethics as like. abortion! euthanasia! trans rights! and the ethics in practice is the littl #things. do you apologise when you mess up. how do you manage a consult with your patient with paranoid dementia and her child in the same #room at one time - or one by one bc that's fraught too. (that one's on top i had one of those today.) how do you act with grace when #you're a bit stressed and your patient is a bit stressed and the nurse wants to add five more things to your book. the day to day ethics is #SUCH a bigger thing when you come to actual practice.) #this is obviously entirely about me and leans on the fact that i largely do think i am doing a good job i am really feeling my own way #to a Thought. but i think to a certain extent it is generalisable

still in my loki era but I'm having morgana thoughts. I would like you all to know that I fully believe morgause turned morgana into the end product we get of her. we never see what happens to morgana after morgause takes her. we have pretty much no idea what happened the year or so that she was gone.

I know morgana has been through a lot and that she's even right in some of her thoughts (uther 😒 hope he burns in hell) but the morgana in the last few seasons is a complete 180 from the morgana from season one. even with all the terrible shit she went through at the hands of uther and the neglect and fear she suffers from, I don't think she would've ever naturally turned into the dark sorceress she later becomes.

#season 1 and season 5 morgana are completely different peopls #she used to be so sweet and compassionate #i think other people have had this theory but i think morgause did to morgana what morgana does to gwen #remember when morgana made guinevere #sweet and caring lovable guinevere #madly in love with her husband arthur #turn against him and try to kill him #she was completely different from the gwen we all know and love #i think it's entirely possible morgause did it to morgana #bbc morgana #morgana pendragon #morgana le fay #bbc merlin #morgana bbc #merlin bbc #bbc arthur #bbc uther #bbc lancelot #arthur pendragon #lancelot du lac #merlin emrys #the adventures of merlin

[winxwiki]

I utterly loathe these vocal winx "fans" who have nothing but contempt and disdain for the series, only nostalgia and what they made up in their head over the years. No respect whatsoever for the original writers, artists and designers, complete ignorance on the original italian version, doing nothing but complaining online about how much Winx sucks but they could totally fix it guys! How bad the character writing is because "Bloom is soooo annoying", no real criticism and media literacy. Surely this english parody is superior to the original.

And then you cry and complain on why hasn't Iginio catered to adult fans till now. Geez, maybe don't scream online how Winx is shit and your fix it parody fic is totally better. I dunno. Good thing Iginio changed his mind thanks to italian fans at conventions being passionate! And they do listen to real criticism, like regretting Season 8's artstyle or fucking up the story continuity for the sake of broadcasters' approval.

Not people making bad faith complaints and unfunny parodies that misunderstand the very core of the series.

I'm not saying the kids multimedia project made to sell everything with a Winx license is exempt from flaws or something but these people do nothing but complain and disrespect what they claim to love instead of just moving on, understanding that Winx isn't for them (anymore) or actually engage in good faith by watching the original, as so many complaints are the fault of a badly translated english dub or made up dialogue... because this isn't even about later seasons but fucking S1-3, the very classic Winx.

People like you aren't fucking welcome here. I will throw rocks to your window

#long post #text #youtube recommended me this short that was like “abridged bloom is better than canon <3” #and it was the unfunniest shit ever #FUCK OFF #sure she's badly written later on s4 onwards. classic bloom? she's great #she's compassionate she's traumatized she's impulsive she's caring #she's a dork she's fun she's pretty #dragonball abridged has ruined a generation of people. fuck you all #and your petty painfully unfunny parodies not made out of love for the original

We accidentally overfed a dog at work because the directions given by the front desk AND by the owner were deeply unclear and passed down to us incorrectly so we had to call the mom and I'm thinking, like. She's going to be upset that we ran out of her dog's certain special food and even if we give him our wet food for free (obviously) we accidentally wasted what she sent and changing a dog's diet unexpectedly can cause tummy issues. That's an understandable level of upset and I hope we can make it right.

What she ACTUALLY yelled at my coworker about was the fact that NOW she has to take the dog to the VET because he ATE too much and how she "didn't sound very empathetic" (coworker is 21 and was trying desperately not to cry, which sounds pretty empathetic if you don't know it's from abject terror) and then she's like "I looked at the cameras and he seems lethargic!" alright well. You're straight up lying now. He's perfectly happy. He's just also a little round. The worst he's going to do is maybe barf and it'll be over before you pick him up. We'll be the ones cleaning it. He got two days of too much food. And he ate it all. He's literally fine. Maybe stop yelling at folks.

#Nevermind the fact that the word she was looking for was compassionate #This isn't even half of what happened today this is just the absurd and weirdly funny part #Ma'am your tiny living teddy bear is having the time of his life and thinks he hit the jackpot #There were three entire failures along the chain of command BEFORE I was involved in feeding him at all #He's been here since the evening of the 20th he's FINE #Stop treating people like shit maybe #She isn't even a front desk person she got pulled up there to help out after the actual front desk person #Had to take a dog to the vet cuz he got bit real good #(I wasn't kidding today was absolutely fucking nuts) #Dog days of care

i absolutely adore the interactions between dream and lucienne in episode 9 bc dream has just enough self-awareness to know that he’s fucked up by insulting lucienne, but way too much pride to admit that he was in the wrong. 

like just their conversation earlier in the episode alone, when dream’s trying to make amends in a roundabout way and still not-apologizing to lucienne!

lucienne’s upset at dream, and she has every right to be - not just for imprisoning gault for wanting to be something other than a nightmare, but for dismissing everything she’s done outside of serving as his librarian in his absence, everything that she could possibly do outside of that limited role

and dream knows that he’s fucked up!! look at him, he absolutely hates this! and yet he is so full of pride that he can’t even properly apologize to one of his most trusted confidantes, one of the only residents of the dreaming who believed that he would return

i just love these two and their dynamic so much, i need more immediately

#the sandman #the sandman netflix #lucienne girl you deserve a raise #hell at this point you deserve your own castle #and he apologizes! #bc he's not perfect and every day he's still learning how to be more compassionate and caring #but there's still room for improvement #the nuances in their acting fill me with delight #especially the quiet devastation in dream's eyes at lucienne's reply #and lucienne shifting from passive-aggression to voicing her opinion on the vortex honestly #bc at the end of the day she is loyal to dream and dream to her #dream of the endless #lucienne the librarian

[dai-nana-han-agenda]

What's your response to people saying Sasuke viewing Team 7 as his family is “unrealistic” because they only knew each other for a few months?

Ouuu I’m sorry this is such a late response, I was drafting it out and I totally forgot to finish it!

Figuring out the timeline of Naruto is HELL, but from what I gather, Sasuke was a part of Team 7 for about a year. For plot purposes, we don’t really see how Team 7 bonds, but we know they basically meet up / train / go on missions every day. During the Wave arc, Kakashi gives the whole “abandoning your teammates makes you worse than scum” speech to a group of impressionable 12 year olds. Not only that, he’s been drilling the idea of teamwork since the very first meeting. On top of all that, it’s established at the academy that it’s essential for teams to gel if they want to survive on the field (the team becomes your second family, wink wink.)

Considering all of that, no I don’t think it’s unrealistic to believe that Sasuke begins to cherish Team 7 (something that is CANONICALLY proven, and I’ll prove it after this.) His time with his team provides structure, routine, and an escape from his relentless thoughts abt revenge (and if there’s one thing I know, kids need routine and structure, even if regrettably, that comes from being a fucking child soldier.) Team 7 becomes Sasuke’s support system. I’m not pulling this out of my ass btw - after seeing Itachi again, Sasuke himself acknowledges that because he spent so much time being with his team, he forgot abt his revenge (for clarification cos I’m too lazy to find the manga page, this is when Kisame and Itachi come after Naruto while he’s training w Jiraiya.)

During the invasion arc / Naruto’s fight against Gaara, Sasuke calls Naruto and Sakura his “precious comrades.” (Even without the words, if you read the manga, it’s clear from Sasuke’s body language that he cares about/is very protective over his team.) When Kakashi is trying to convince Sasuke to forget about his revenge, Naruto and Sakura are the people he thinks about.

Somewhere between the formation of Team 7 and Sasuke’s defection, Naruto and Sakura have become important people to Sasuke, so much so that the thought of leaving them behind almost convinces him to stay (but of course, in the end, his hatred for Itachi and need for revenge wins over.)

I’ve seen the criticisms and I’ll admit that the execution of Team 7 as a family is not as strong as it could’ve been. But I do think that if you read the manga, you can see Kishimoto’s efforts. And canonically, Sasuke cares deeply about Naruto and Sakura, and anyone who tries to argue against that is wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

#i always see people say shit like omg nrt and skra don’t rly care abt ssk cos they never actually supported him #like let’s get something straight #nrt and skra supported ssk killing itachi even if they didn’t understand it #what they didn’t support was ssk going off w orochimaru’s psycho ass and being consumed by his hatred #i’m gonna touch on skra and ssk’s relationship specifically bc i feel like nrt & ssk’s is strong on its own #but as much as the fandom shits on skra’s crush on ssk there’s something v innocent/protective abt skra’s love for him #lemme explain: after ssk gets the curse mark skra threatens to tell kakashi abt it. ssk lashes out at her #skra continues to express her concern abt ssk and the way his hatred/desire for revenge is consuming him #when she confronts him before he leaves the village she tells him that getting revenge won’t lead to happiness #this is basically the same discussion kakashi had with sasuke earlier that day #all skra rly wants for ssk is for him to be happy #is that naive? yes probably. but i don’t think her crush on him was as superficial as people make it out to be #let me remind y’all that skra was one of the first people that saw firsthand what the curse mark did to ssk #all she wanted was for him not to fall deeper into that darkness #team 7 has always been compassionate to ssk. they just didn’t want to see him destroyed by his hatred. #which is essentially what almost happens to him in shippuden #I can keep going but for the sake of readability i won’t #team 7 #pro team 7 #dai nana han #ask #thanks for the ask!

Personally, I will not accept any criticism of scooby doo that doesn't acknowledge that the gang is autistic af.

'Fred's a jock he shouldn't be so awkward'. Autism.

'Shaggys a gymnast why is he such an outcast'. Autism.

'Why does Velma talk like a computer'. Autism.

'Why does Daphne act so weird'. Autism.

#scooby doo #i also hate that fred is characterized as a misogynist in popular fanon #and daphne as shallow #also in general i hate when characters who are caring and kind but also materialistic and vain #have their kindness ignored in favor of portraying them as shallow and mean #like yeah dahpne can be vain and materialistic #but shes also a good and compassionate friend #these are not mutually exclusive traits #fred jones #daphne blake #velma dinkley #shaggy rogers #op
