catalysts, protectors

#man those episodes #so many things put into perspective #like Simon’s role as a protector and his kindness and empathy and compassion and existence being the catalyst for the rest of ooo to #flourish #and Betty is a protector of Simon #I wonder if the last two episodes will explore more of her character? there’s so much to be explored about her giving so much of herself #to Simon but not thinking about what she wants for herself #do we get to explore her feelings or see her at all? will she have changed or learned to let go #I think there will be some sort of closure for the both of them #but at what cost #I am still crying over that scene with Simon’s memory of Betty and their song #my art #fionna and cake #fionna and cake spoilers #simon petrikov #betty grof #petrigrof #golbetty

#so many thoughts about her #the handmaid #the handmaid homestuck #homestuck ancestors #damara megido #homestuck #egg art #according to hussies book aradia was in contact with the handmaid to receive game instructions #which is interesting considering megidos can speak to the dead and the handmaid is one of the few ancestors alive #so either handmaid channeled a dead aradia or future aradia channeled a dead handmaid #handmaid could of also just manipulated the timeline to make sure aradia was the catalyst for the game being played #or something less more or equally complicated #and without this we just have to assume its maid powers allowing aradia to have flawless instruction of what to do or shes just a #level 3000 gigabrain girl genius at 13 years old #and instead of putting that interaction in the story we got. the dancestor flashes #so im a little miffed about it really

Finally finished this piece of a very cool Magda moment from our dnd campaign! 🔥

#drawing #digital art #dnd #dnd character #fantasy art #oc #magda #dungeons and dragons #elf #eladrin #backstory: Magda is an eladrin who was trapped in her winter form all her life #and the catalyst for her shifting into summer rage mode was seeing a bunch of women about to be burned at the stake #(campaign is in a puritanical witch hunting type setting and her childhood friend/first love was falsely accused of witchcraft) #so yeah she went sicko mode and telekinesis’d an inquisitor upside down in the fire meant for witches

actually Lily is the main character of the marauders era

#she's the catalyst for everything. she unites snapes arc with the marauders/order #she's the one who sacrifices herself and starts the entire plot of hp #ultimately james and snape are side characters in her story!!! #i think a point of DH was 'you spent so much time thinking about your dad but actually it was your mum who was important' #she is Protagonist and its time she was treated like it

Quinn Laghari is honestly one of my favourite characters in Destiny. She's not some guardian legend, she's not a super-soldier or a paracausal entity of any sort. She's a fucking librarian. She has one of the most normal, grounded jobs in a science fiction setting. Because even far into the future, records still need caretakers. She has multiple PhDs. She gives sarcastic tours of her own archive. She flirts with you, regardless of your species or gender. She canonically has a prosthetic leg, although currently only manifests as a hologram. She's absolutely vicious, she comes up with absolutely brutal methods of fighting off the Cabal invasion. She is the character ever. Quinn Laghari, I love you so much

thinking about how lord asriel believed it was his life's purpose to change the world and defeat the authority and his arrogance caused fractures in the fabric of the multiverse, but lyra belaqua saved possibly billions of souls stuck in the purgatory, returning their essence to the multiverse in the form of dust, offsetting the authority's response to asriel's provocation, not because she wanted to be a hero but because she wanted to help out her friend

#and I cry about it #hdm #his dark materials #i just love this series so much #also how great is this fucking continuity? #roger gets taken at the very beginning of the story #her love for roger #the only family she has as a child #is the driver and catalyst of the entire plot of the story #her loyalty to her friend is what pushes her to fulfill her destiny #🤌🤌🤌🤌 #y'know

people rightly criticize how team 7 reacted to sasuke's pursuit of justice for his clan, but one thing i feel is always overlooked in these discussions is how sakura literally is not granted the option by the narrative to learn about what sasuke has been through — not in the way that naruto, kakashi, or even team taka are. throughout all of part 2, she is operating under the assumption that sasuke killed itachi and then turned on the village for no apparent reason.

in part 1, she offers to help sasuke with his plan to kill itachi and even says she'll come with him so he won't have to handle a clearly dangerous and unstable sannin alone. she tells him she wishes he would be more open with her because she wants to understand what he's going through. (all of this stands in stark contrast to naruto, who says he'll break every bone in sasuke's body to bring him back, or kakashi, who projects his own traumas on to sasuke.) then in part 2, she can't bring herself to hurt him despite ample opportunity and even though (as far as she knows) he's become a violent criminal. throughout the series, she's averse to inflicting harm on others (aside from the punching naruto gag). is it really so unreasonable to imagine that if she knew sasuke was avenging the state-sponsored genocide of his clan, she would respond differently? with more empathy and compassion for his circumstances, and anger of her own towards konoha?

#people never factor this into their sakura discussions and it does upset me #like no offence but no one raised in konoha is going to have a political awakening where they realize how awful the system is #without some major catalyst (ie what happened to sasuke's clan) and she never gains access to that information #it's also been pointed out that her speech to him at tvote2 is really stupid and like. i agree #but if all she knows about the situation is from naruto and kakashi @ sasuke saying he's given into hate or whatever #of course that is going to be her response? like what else would she even say. she doesn't know what's going on LMAO😭 #don't get me wrong i think in canon (pt1-2) their relationship has a whole body of issues but a bunch of them are intrinsically tied to thi #uchiha sasuke #haruno sakura #sasusaku #this is not really a shipping post but that's my tag for their relationship in any form sorryyy #naruto meta

its interesting to me how everyone’s wishes in persona 5 royal have to do with the catalyst for their rebellion. like ryuji getting to live in a world where kamoshida doesn’t break his leg and force him off the track team, or yusuke where his sensei doesn’t betray him, doesn’t plagiarize. they get to skip those moments that revealed how unfair the world is, that made them want to fight back.

so logically joker’s wish should involve his false conviction. it should involve that event which forced him to transfer schools, to live in a store attic, to be labeled by everyone he met as a delinquent, a criminal. but even in a perfect world, all of that remains unchanged. he accepts that that experience Made him Something, that it was for the better in that it let him be a phantom thief, got him to meet all his friends.

no, to joker, the real thing that betrayed the world’s unfairness was akechi dying. akechi’s circumstances, being used by shido for years and then being discarded the moment shido didn’t have use for him anymore, the fact that akechi not only didn’t get the revenge he committed himself to when he was just a kid but therefore also didn’t get the opportunity to move on from it, is the one thing joker couldn’t stand. and it’s not just that joker wanted akechi to go to jail in his stead, because notably, akechi isn’t actually in jail in the third semester.

really, joker just wanted to see akechi again. he wanted to see him again because he loved him.

#persona 5 #shuake #goro akechi #akira kurusu #ren amamiya #I have ryuji and yusuke as examples because they’re the most obvious #like makoto and futaba’s catalysts were things they’d kept bottled up For Years before their awakenings #and haru is a little more complicated considering her dad didn’t die until after she awakened #(​which ruins the point i try to make in the first paragraph a little bit but WHATEVER. you get it) #and then ann’s seemed like kinda heavy subject matter for this post about persona 5 yaoi #but that also means I don’t mention a single woman in this post. I’m sorry women

Been thinking on how Maggie would technically still be a brand new member of the Simpson family if the timeline wasn't however many seasons long. Don't know what to do with those thoughts but I have been having them.

I’m so glad you brought this up because it happens to be something I think about continuously. I need everybody to embrace my theory of The Simpsons where the family having an unexpected brand-new member is fundamental to all of the characters as we’re currently (constantly) perceiving them:

Marge’s difficulties with her, up to this point, uneventful marriage (tempted to have an affair a few episodes in!) are the result of all her hormones still resettling combined with the stress of the pregnancy itself where Homer struggled to come to terms with the fact that he had to go back to his old job, and wasn’t very emotionally supportive as a result. As her older two children grow up, she’s gaining a sense of her identity outside of motherhood, while the new baby is simultaneously tying her more closely to the heart of her home than ever. She’s both more rooted and more unsettled than she’s ever been before and that conflict is reflected in her episodes.

In the episode “Lisa the Simpson” we’re told that Bart was a good student when he was in Lisa’s year, before his grades took a rapid dive from which they never recovered. The episode attributes this to a “Simpson gene” which makes all the male members of the Simpson family lose their intelligence at the age of eight. I have not lost my intelligence and think it’s very obvious that Bart is still trying to recover from all the aforementioned sources of stress that would have occurred right around that exact point in time. He faced some upheaval shortly before we met him and the Bart we know now is still trying to get his head above water.

Lisa tends to feel neglected and overlooked, identifies herself with her intelligence to the point where she has an identity crisis any time she’s not the smartest person in the room, and is constantly embarking on socially disruptive moral crusades. All of the above are clearly the actions of a child who was the baby of the family for most of her life and is now actively engaged in determining her value beyond that designation.

And finally, Homer’s contribution to his family up to this point has been completely based on his role as the provider, having spent the better part of the past decade since he and his high school sweetheart had that accidental pregnancy paying off the family’s debts and looking forward to the time when he had definitively done right by them and could transition to a lower-paying job without worry. Instead, the presence of yet another unexpected baby and his transition to the role of safety inspector have forced him to an awareness of the fact that his responsibility is ongoing, that his other two children—at ages eight and ten—aren’t babies anymore, that it’s no longer going to be enough to clock in every day to provide for them and then clock out and nurse a well-earned beer, that they now need him in a way they didn’t before and that leaving all the parenting to Marge is no longer going to be enough. I think that this reflects a reality of life for many working parents whose primary duty hasn’t been at home, until suddenly their home starts to demand them. That’s why The Simpsons doesn’t take place in 1989 or 2024 or any year in between, it takes place in the year that Homer Simpson becomes a father.

#The Simpsons #awesomebutunpractical #TLDR Maggie is the catalyst for the entire series as we know it and everything that happens in it and all the characters being who they are #She’s the reason we’re looking at them at THIS point in their lives and not at any other

Oh don’t mind me, it’s just 1 am and I am once again thinking about how throughout the show Lena is constantly Kara’s grounding tool and and let’s her show the vulnerable side of her and keeps Kara from just going “full supergirl” and reminding her that Kara Danvers is important too.

#supergirl may have saved me but KARA DANVERS YOU are MY HERO #and she’s the reason Kara has a job #both because she was the catalyst in picking her job and she told her to and I quote ‘unquit’ in s3 #and her in s6 trying to get Kara to do the gauntlet instead of sg #LIKE GOD THEIR SO #kara danvers #lena luthor #supergirl #arrowverse #supercorp
