behold: my least favorite string of words in the entirety of Tears of the Kingdom.

#totk critical #totk #tloz #gerudos #when will my brain return from the imprisoning war.... #I just stumbled upon it again doing research yesterday and.... #there's so many layers as to why it aggravates me #that it's spoken from the perspective of a masked woman as to embody all gerudos while removing her own identity #in the context of her loyalty to rauru as well #that giving birth to a bad man makes you responsible for his actions (he's not a toddler anymore he's an adult ok) #or more metaphorically that your initial conflict with hyrule makes you Sinful and cursed and you must Feel Bad Now *shame shame* #that she's passing on that ageless guilt with no expiration date onto the shoulders of *a teenager* and it's considered GOOD??? #(wind waker shaking crying right now) #ALL OF THAT to prop her up to swear her loyalty to the people planning to go murder their ancient king (sure he's a Bad but still???) #using some sort of weird ass original sin scenario that is arguably not any gerudo's fault but Ganondorf's #(or if it is then it's not shown so ???) #the vibes are so so so off I just really !!!!! don't like #this is stuff like this that makes me reject that it's a good story about alliances being formed in good faith #because this is just manipulative #maybe the alliance angle everyone's stronger together was the intention but the execution is another story entirely #gerudos never benefited from ganondorf's actions also #so it's not even a case of making reparations for the way you benefit from systemic oppression due to your ancestor's actions #gerudos won literally nothing in ganondorf's war #apparently he even subjugated them if they weren't on his side (like.... a king would.... not to excuse it but the double standard here) #so it just instrumentalizes the ageless sin of motherhood + suffering under a bad monarch billion of years ago for war #so uhhh.... yeah that's not... that's pretty bad imo #the gerudo girl could have went “hey girl this man used us and still hurt us to this day let's kick his ass once and for all” #and this would have been a different story entirely #a little cheap but not.... That Bad

my research partner and i are huddled in a blanket in paddington waiting for a too-late train i already miss you and you and you

#he keeps falling asleep almost on my shoulder and waking up and readjusting but i want to tell him its ok weve seen a lot #of each other ive seen your brainwaves you called me crying a few nights ago. research partner right now is a potentiality #friend is a certainty. i met a banker passionate about finance. he said his advice made the lives of others better and he likes the numbers #more than he likes anything else. on a high rise near canary wharf the view was wonderful and the people even moreso #he said i loved her but i spent 33 grand on her and i cant do this anymore. his voice cracked talking about her. he did love her. #and she talked softly she grabbed my hand she bought me a pack of Marlborough gold she told me to snap #the russian menthol cigarettes of the tortured polish man near us with my teeth i kept staring at her teeth #bright white and sharp. i couldnt find her heartbeat but i did find warmth and i did find her lips and i did feel #how she felt pressed against a wall. a pretty boy held my hand and i gave him my number. i couldnt stop smiling about her no matter #how many runways youve walked on how many collections youve designed how many students youve taught. senior lecturer teaches me how to do #very unethical things ethically over a double shot of vodka made by the half-persian with broken farsi. she talks softly #and she says her eyes are hazel but they appear a shade of red. pure gold on her hands and leather on her back and her fingers on my lips #(she talks softly sees through me she says something i cant hear but i wont forget the way she flies) she talked to my research partner #about the possibility of moving to sunny dubai with the rest of her family and my heart felt pierced. on her arm i traces a tattoo of a #knife passing through a rose. she told me she thought there was romance in severing so i kissed her some more. #he sat me down and asked me what i loved and i told him and he said no romance no person no tragedy will take that from you. #the room was filled with a collection of people in love with something that wasnt a person and i kept looking at her. #red eyes bitten jawline beautiful hands. it is 3 degrees Celsius my head is on his shoulder i miss my friends #we walked out the lecture hall with arms linked a photo of two years ago and we both said #jesus christ. i miss you all. and i miss logic metatheory lectures. im glad i get to stare at the depth of your eyes #i wish i had met you years ago. #crushposting

#I don’t even know how to feel right now #my kiddo moved up into the older kids room #then yesterday I get a message from daycare saying another kid scratched my baby’s face #and I’m like okay a scratch is just a scratch it happens #when I got home and saw him I was like what the fuck this wasn’t just a little scratch it is dark and red and angry #and then I go to give him a bath and I see he has a bitemark shaped bruise on his shoulder #and I’m like what the fuck why wouldn’t you tell me this too #and I go in today to talk to the director and she wasn’t there #they give me the incident report that says basically this kid #wanted to take my sons pacifier and he wouldn’t let him and he scratched his face and pushed him down and bit him #like what the actual fuck #why wouldn’t you tell me the whole thing #I had to find out on my own by seeing a mark on my babies skin #I’m so upset #he’s still such a gentle baby like he doesn’t hit or bite out of anger yet #so it just breaks my heart to know this other kid did this to him #and that the daycare ladies weren’t there to monitor and see it happen

Absolutely no one

Me and my broken brain: What if I made a Nevermore Trimberly Au?

#maybe they do have a similar dymanic as Lenore and Annabel #they were lovers but the thing os #they don't remember and of course they butt heads #trini has so much potential #she already manifested but she also just does not care about coming back #what is the point if she is just gonna suffer again? she'd rather face an eternal void #meanwhile kim is desperate this is her chance to get it right #to not fuck up for once and be who she could should be #of course at first they only remember the worst things and they are just so sooooo bamboozled when they starg seeing glimpses of each other #trini remembers things first like going to school and being ignored by kim #and kim one day just gets a fucking flash of kissing trini ans she is like wtf???? so she tries to approach trini but get a cold shoulder #kim wass trying so hard to remember how she passed away but now she is intrigued #because trini is someone from her before and from those brief glimpses #someone who loved her but now she is just so defensive and a little distant #anyways trimberly unburied itself from my chest #trimberly #nevermore webtoon #ref

I’ll be honest, whenever I start enjoying a fictional lesbian couple I start to ask myself which of them seems more transgender that I can project trans headcanons onto. Usually it’s not that difficult, but for both Marcille x Falin and Sorawo x Toriko I’ve flip flopped multiple times

#for the record I’m now firmly on the trans toriko side. not only is she taller and relatably awkward but she had queer parents #who would’ve accepted her #meanwhile Sorawo is the most autistic person in fiction so I really relate to her #but I think she was too busy with the cult thing to change her gender #Or alternatively ‘running away from my family in a cult who wants to kidnap me and make me one of them’ does embody trans themes #see this is why I flip flop #as for the dungeon meshi duo. Marcille has pathetic girl swag but Falin has autistic girl swag #however I very much relate to Falin not being particularly feminine in her wardrobe and having broad shoulders #now if you read this far you might be thinking: why not both? and you’re right #i mean I’m already projecting my gender into fictional characters why not go wild with it #and again you’re right I have no counter point

[evakant]

nothing wrong with crying and i very much approve of the practice i just don't personally partake in it, so you can imagine the expression my mom had on her face when she turned around in the kitchen to the sound of me suddenly, loudly sobbing as i started doing the dishes

#bro i was bawling. 0/10 not a good crier #also mom and dad kept like trying to comfort me and they were just not saying the right thing so at one #point i just had to pull back from the hug #she went ''what all done?'' and i cringed and went ''this isn't comforting'' #and she jokingly said ''i feel used now'' like bro 💀💀💀 #she was being nice i enjoyed the hug. got her shoulder all wet ✌🏼🥰 #fra.txt #dad just rubbing my back saying the same things #like guys how is it a surprise that ''it's always been like this'' and ''one day we'll all be dead and there'll be peace'' #aren't exactly making me have heart #they try. i love them very much #i pulled back like /trying/ to be nice about it. felt all cried out anyway so i just went ''yeah i'm over it now i'm good'' #if she had not insisted i wouldn't have been... as specific.... in my feedback lmao #delete later. #probably lmaoo

1) Three non-romantic duos: Hmmm...brotps I adore would be Jack and Daniel (SG-1), Sam and Daniel (SG-1), and Lune and Matsen (Jade Torch -- is it cheating to use my own book??? xD) If that's cheating, then Sam and Frodo (LotR).

2) A ship that might surprise others: I kinda ship Link x Mipha from BOTW. I like Zelda x Link too, but something about Link x Mipha is just so sweet and tragic. I like that they knew each other for a lot longer than Zelda and Link knew each other.

Let's be real. I don't have a lot of crazy ships. Although, in SG-1, I do ship Vala x Tomin (but I also like Vala x Daniel).

3) Last Song: Shackleton by Adam Young

4) Last Film: My parents and I watched Hitched for the Holidays last night. Very funny romcom with Joey Lawrence. It's a Hallmark movie from 2012, so just before they all got so unbelievably cookie cutter/copy+paste with their plots.

5) Currently reading: Operation Grendel by Daniel Schwabauer

6) Currently watching: The X-Files. I'm nearing the end of season 1. I've never seen it before, and I'm loving it!

7) Currently consuming: Coffee

8) currently craving: idk. I don't have a strong craving for anything right now.

#i am in a massive stargate phase right now #i almost put john and rodney as the third brotp but i wanted to include something non stargate #and seriously. i am enjoying the x-files SO MUCH!!!!!!!! #the alien episodes are my favorite and i wish there were more of those and fewer of the ghost/spirit ones #but oh well #and can i say? mulder and scully's dynamic is perfection #not just how they trust each other or tease each other but how they physically behave with one another #the acting choices seem very deliberate #mulder wears his heart on his sleeve and i am living for that #and he's big on touch. not in a creepy way at all #but he's constantly putting his hand on her shoulder or gently placing his hand on her back to steer her #so much of it is 100% unnecessary for the scene so it feels like very deliberate acting choice regarding the character #and it doesn't phase scully a bit #even in the first few episodes when they've only known each other a few months or less she has no issue with how familiar mulder acts #again. i need to emphasize---it never comes across as creepy just really cute and tender #i really really like how she is SO TINY compared to him and i think his physicality and protectiveness is emphasized by that #but at the same time he knows she's fully capable #he seems protective of her but not in a demeaning way. not overprotective. just lots of chivalry and honor #that's something that seems totally lost in media today: men who want to protect women just because that's what they should be doing #and women who let them #too many women get bent out of shape when men try to be gentlemen #women have tried to wipe out chivalry and then they turn around and complain about toxic masculinity 🙄 #but mulder is a wonderful gentleman and i love watching him and scully #tagged #sorry for going off in the tags but i've been wanting to rave about this stuff for a few days now xD

To be honest this "things will not be handed to you" idea that Ewan may have instilled in Greg may have actually worked against Ewan's other and more clearly stated goal of bullying him into being a kind person who cares about his principles (whatever principles Ewan has, not Greg's own)

Because, as I also said here, Greg has become and always has been a person who will take anything he can get, anything he wants, the moment he sees an opening. Things might not always be handed to him, other than the job itself, but he has no misgivings about taking- food from work, protection from Tom, an apartment from Kendall, the ear of the goddamn president if he can just get close enough

I think it makes most sense that Greg was raised with and knows scarcity, of both love and proper support and material things. He absolutely is in his position due to nepotism, but hasn't actually been given everything, a lot of it he takes, and takes before it has a chance to slip through his fingers. again.

#succession #succession spoilers #greg hirsch #ewan roy #I have seen someone say n*c braun thinks Greg was coddled by Marianne but this is why I don't seek or take actor's assertions as.. canon #. Maybe she did baby him #but I can't believe she supported him adequately and I don't think being harsher would help) #i forget and cant corroborate right now didnt she also tell him he couldnt move back home? i know she said she 'had no money for him' #i have a bit of a more personal chip on my shoulder abt that because i just moved home w my parents and im glad i did #this is also something that makes him good for Tom because Tom is king of going after what he wants no matter what

The face of a lizard grappling with the very real possibility the angry lady with the big sword could see exactly what he's thinking about instead of listening to 90% of the words she says.

#ronan: you can look into my head #but only the past ten minutes #dont look any farther #sometimes he's thinking how how irritating his armor is today #sometimes its opening his mouth and setting her on fire because she's insulting him in some fashion again #sometimes? sometimes it's a certain someones ass in their stupidly tight pants. #someone whos right over his shoulder #ronan has many thoughts and lae'zel is very confused and emotional right now #please dont do a stab to your cleric who keeps you alive and well #she already threatened him like three times in the past half hour. got very mad when he wouldnt kneel to her queen god lady #this was a fun quest #and ronan got the cool OP mace as a reward! #bg3

Say what you will about the Cyrano movie (and one day I'll be able to in a halfway articulate manner), but I am still mildly obsessed with "Every Letter", and I think about this ending couplet all the time...

Your letters are drawings on me from above I know who you are and I know you are loved

Just... the idea of Cyrano and Christian receiving a letter in return from Roxanne and feeling their breath catch both with ecstasy and with bitter regret.

I know who you are...

But she can't. But she mustn't. But it would break her heart--she would never trust them again. But it wouldn't be fair to Christian. But Cyrano could never show his face again. But they already feel themselves burn under her gaze, and to meet it honestly without the armor of a soldier, of these letters, would scorch them until nothing remains. But the only true honor is to hide, even if they know it's really the coward's way out. But the only safety (if they were being brutally honest with themselves) is to hide.

... and I know you are loved.

But God, they wish they didn't have to.

#It's four thirty in the morning and I have been slam-dunked back into Cyrano Hell... #Listen okay ever since the movie introduced the idea of *Roxanne actually writing back* I have been even less normal about these idiots. #The imagery is so fucking delicious either way because you get to imagine either the two of them sitting close enough together #that they can both read either together or over the other's shoulder and just... occupying that space together the two nearly becoming one #and I get to lose my mind over the proximity and the warmth between them forged in the fire of their love for Roxanne. #OR *or or*... the two of them taking turns reading and just *watching* the other's face as they read trying to glean from their expressions #what she might have said and the intensity of that study becoming its own terrible intimacy that right now they can only show through proxy #and I *also* get to lose my mind over Cyrano watching Christian and musing that even if his partner might look like a marble statue #he's never seen a marble statue make that face before but he's *definitely* seen it from Roxanne and it's just as coronary-inducing on both #and Christian watching Cyrano and musing that this might be the closest he'll ever come to seeing the pride of the cadets #and the mythic figure he's built around himself completely *shatter* if only for a moment... he's *human* and he's *exquisite.* #CANNOT be normal about it... it's 'So--here's my heart under your velvet now'-- #it's 'I've loved but one (man) in my life and now I must lose him twice'-- #it's the darkness of the balcony and the endless sunshine metaphors regarding Roxanne herself-- #it's the goddamn Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known and how much Roxanne *craves* it from two men terrified to submit to it... #God these three make me sick I love them so much. #cyrano de bergerac
