#she's going to try and kill him <3

[clowndensation]

there’s a question to be asked i think about to what extent “getting out” can be conflated with “being saved” in this show, and what freedom actually means to any of these characters.

like you can argue that shiv saved ken by voting against him on gojo, but what if your intent behind saving someone is to inflict a worse punishment than if you’d just left them trapped? can a child weaned on poison survive on milk, or are you just sentencing them to a death by inches, starved of the only thing they know? and if you save someone specifically because you know that being saved is the worst thing that can happen to them, is that kindness or cruelty? at what point does a good thing become a malicious act?

and you can say that roman is finally free, but what exactly is he free from? the company? his father? does unlocking a cage mean saving a dog, or are you allowing him out on the street knowing there’s a kill shelter nearby? if the driving anxiety behind roman is that he’s an idiot and a failure—that he’ll never amount to anything, and trying will only lead to pain—and he’s finally cut loose once all of those anxieties have crystallized into cold hard fact in his mind, what has he actually escaped from? if the cage is in your mind, is it even possible for somebody else to unlock it?

the fundamental truth of a tragedy is that even being saved can be a death sentence, if the characters are incapable of escaping the thing doing them the most harm (themselves and their childhoods)

#'what about shiv' if i think about shiv i'm going to kill myself. she needs her own post. there's too much there to get into. #anyways seeing a tremendous amount of At Least Roman Is Free <3 tags that have me going. right. for sure. free from what? #because it's certainly not the intense amount of self disgust that has driven him in circles this entire time. #i fear he may feel the weight of alienation on his soul for the rest of his life. and he won't even try to alleviate it anymore. #and ALSO the idea that shiv went out of her way to save kendall as an act of like. altruism. like it was a sacrifice on her part #which i feel is a very toothless perspective on shiv and the psychological torment that's been weighing on her essentially since birth #like her choice in regards to gojo is one of the meatiest most harrowing bits of character work i've ever seen #and while of course there was love inside that action (because nothing these characters do is entirely divorced from love) #i don't think it was necessarily a kind or forgiving or sacrificial love #like this was an intense vitriolic snapping from a dog that has been kicked by her dad all her life. #and who absolutely refuses to accept that from her brother (because that would mean acknowledging that kendall takes the mantle of Dad- #and that she's subservient to him. which is the one thing she absolutely will never do #because it's a level of degradation that's finally a step too far) #anyways. um. insane season that i still can't look at directly or i'll perish on the spot. #succession

#⋯ ꒰ა starry thoughts ໒꒱ *·˚ #idk how to describe 'sensitive' rn i'm dying in the head i should be asleep but Man!!!!! #i search up tons of horror stuff for funsies. movies uhh creepypastas stories real life events etc. fun! #BUT it freaks me out wayyy too much. bcs i really don't deal well w Those feelings of paranoia. #my imagination too good i was scared at night going to sleep bcs i'd imagine what to do if an intruder came in from the bedroom door #or bathroom door and think of how i'd escape Death......... #Did Not Help my area before was kinda yk. chillax. chillax meaning grassy tree-sy backyard overgrown trees #old-ish in a filipino chill neighborhood that isn't very fancy ?????? idk. #and the fact one time my dad almost died and someone standing close to him Did die so. haha. traumatized from that. #I WASN'T THERE..... but i rmbr my dad coming home and the news absolutely terrified me. anyway! #wow... rambling on tumblr at 3 and a half am... Nostalgic. #anyway yeah i love love love horror stuff but i am !!! so bad w them !!! like jesus christ i adore resident evil and bloodborne #is my whole bloodline. or something. but i can't even watch my twin kill 1 zombie in a re game Demo (she can't do it either) #and i can only make it to killing the first monster in bloodborne and explore a tiny bit where there are still no enemies. god. #AAAGGGGHHHhhhh ... and the first point of horror in omori then i stop playing for months...... even tho i rlly wna play more :(( #2024 ........ cmon... i will try to overcome my fears more. #i've improved somewhat at least! ...from when i was younger. like. man. i could never stay in night-time in games ever. #ffxv? nah i always have to travel at morning. only when i got strong enough that daemons were nothing to me did i stop #getting scared. ouuughhh... and i always try to be stealthy in games........... for many reasons ofc but 1.

finally beat the first kingdom in p5t the other day and it was truly flabbergasting the way marie fuckin. dissolved. and morgana was like well that shouldn't have caused a mental shutdown... but i don't know for sure! and then moved on. LIKE HUH. WHY ARE NONE OF THE THIEVES. ACKNOWLEDGING THIS. LMAO?

#bobtalk #p5tposting #p5t spoilers #i guess. for the first dungeon. lol #its like well if it was akc i'd understand but it's whiplash because over and over the thieves are normally like #well....this palace Looks bad. but we should scope out how things are in the real world before we take action! they're generally cautious #and they're stuck here so obviously that's not an option right. like they were going to fight marie eventually no matter what #but they're like *shrugs* about any potential real world consequences to girlie disappearing like that it's really...weird? #i mean. even with kamoshida they only went through with trying to steal his heart because they were desperate and willing to risk him dying #bc they didn't know for sure bc they were new to this but it was better than the alternative. etc. iirc at least. #i'm aware this is a silly spin off this is just. really funny to me? unusual? that the game is like. 'don't even worry about it <3' #like guys i think you might've just killed a woman <- i know she's going to be fine. because they wouldn't do that. but LMAO can u IMAGINE #(anyway barelyyy started the second kingdom (as in. we made it to the first battle and haven't started). are all the rulers just going to b #ppl toshiro has beef with personally. because that's really fucking funny if so. his whole GC hates his ass!)

romancing astarion with sorrow, who by level 12 had 22 charisma and +14 to insight, was very funny.

him, 10 cha and +1 to insight: i am a master manipulator

her: yes dear

#zanarai *is* sorrow as a dark urge #but i couldn't justify keeping her a bard to myself (so she can't put expertise in insight) #murder jesus kills people by. singing at them? that felt too silly #now i don't think so anymore but at this point zan is so developed as a sorcerer that i can't bear to change her #idk maybe i'll change my mind again #she speaks #zanarai #.sorrow #arctic plays bg3 #maybe she can be a three-way multiclass sorcerer/wizard/bard lol #to get expertise she'd need 3 levels of bard #that leaves 9 levels of sorcerer over the level span covered by the game but let's say 8 so she can take 1 level wizard #and post-game she levels wizard for however far she gets as she and astarion search for a way for him to be in the sun #this would be a disaster build wouldn't it #kind of want to try it though #hold on going to set it up on paper let's see what fucking happens

[poisonouspastels]

@beegswaz genuinely i think my favorite tags on any of my work ever. i fucking love when people talk abt my characters like this

#its like blorbo from my show but with fucking minecraft and i love it deeply #for the record both Groda and White Eyes get socialized in the modern world like feral cats #both by the main players but it does happen at different times bc they all encountered Groda first when she held Rana hostage for bait #she'd kinda gone crazy after all those years of isolation lol #did that bc she thought Herobrine was the knight who betrayed her during the time period where people were wanting to overthrow her #(the knight worked for the royal family and was one of Groda's childhood friends. that did not last needless to say) #thankfully at the end of the day all 4 of the main players managed to get out alive though not unharmed with Groda in tow #when there's something trying to kill you every other day in this universe though they honestly cant be too mad about it #it doesnt help that Groda is just Really Stupid sometimes (all the time) #she's literally Peridot from SU in that she seems really intimidating but in hindsight is a massive dork #and also the fact that is the voice i imagine her having its so good #once her ability to use magic is taken away she's literally just like a scared feral street cat. does not know what the FUCK is going on #also rendering her communication with 3/4ths of the players useless since she only knows Galactic and no one alive knows that but Herobrine #(not helping the coincidental similarities to the knight but thats not him) she'll learn commonspeak later tho #ironically later down the line when Groda is spotted by the cult getting her magic back will be a key part in taking down White Eyes #she really does want to change for the better but she needed a LOT of shit kicked into her in order to start actually making the change #that being said when White Eyes eventually gets integrated it IS On Sight #she has had to been quite literally pried of Groda AT LEAST once by the others in order to keep from killing her #but other than that she'll be okay :) she picks up painting eventually #her open wounds are finally able to heal over once released from the influence of the Wither but she's still scarred unfortunately #mentally and physically! #but its only up from here... right? #actually since I talked abt the players first encounter with Groda im gonna reblog that aftermath comic again it still fucks #minecraft au mastertag

Finn. Finn. Fuck you Finn. Idgaf what she said to you that was uncalled for and out of fucking line. Yeah she's mean yeah she's a bitch but wow you can't fucking do that.

#for context santanas been kinda harassing finn for a bit cause theyre on rival glee clubs now and she went to try and apologise #and failed miserably and ended up just being really mean and roasting him to hell again #and she goes to walk away. gets like 3 metres down the hall. and he goes hey santana why dont you just come out of the closet #finn. what the fuck. im going to kill you. #not even just cause im a santana stan. that's fucking despicable dont do that idk if he actually knows or not #but she is so fucking insecure about that and its an entirely off limits thing to say LOUDLY IN THE MIDDLE #OF A CROWDED #HALLWAY #WHAT THE SHITTTTT #thats what you missed on zeeth

meanwhile, despite the fact that a dozen people have gone missing in the local area and abigail keeps bringing tupperwares full of food to the bunker, none of tfw ever suspects there's anything weird going on with her or her family.

#okay. doesn't suspect beyond the realistic initial suspicion where they come back one day to a random person in their house #and jack is like 'i made a friend! :3' #cue sam & dean trying to stealthily test her to see if she's a monster who is trying to. idk use jack's powers for evil. #she passes every test and they have to reluctantly agree that she's human and therefore they can't hunt and kill her #(normal conversations to have in the room adjacent to where jack & abigail are playing monopoly. they can hear them btw.) #(funniest option to me here is that lucifer is the only one aware of what's going on and just didn't mention it. it didn't seem important. #no one asked him about it so he didn't say anything. and look. jack's happy! he is being such a good dad for encouraging this!) #jack kline #abigail hobbs #hannibal nbc #spn

deciding nigel aperture tag had mommy issues but specifically abt glados and he's just constantly desperately trying to please her and gain her affection but she she knows this and uses it against him to get what she wants is what made me like his character

#he just wants her to be proud of him for all his hard work and she'll NEVER give him that bc he's much more useful to her if he's still #trying as hard as possible to fail her approval <3 #he kills for her he suffers for her and she literally does not care. #there's more but it's past midnight i need to go to bed mayhaps you all can see into my mind some other day #sassy speaks

Well that was... unsettling...

#ariaplays: isat #isat spoilers #bro i was like wondering where it was gonna go wrong at that part after i beat the king cuz i was like: aint no way its over yet? #and i was having such a good time talking to everyone cuz i thought siffrin gonna get killed by a trap after that room or smth #AND THEN! euphrasie just suddenly looked so devastated and the music got so distorted and she knew siffrin's name (how?) #and like oooooohhhh mygod what was that. and now im at act 3 back in the meadow and siffrin ououououghghgh....... #siffrin telling mira a lie bout a silly nightmare like i legit saw that split second timeframe in which he decided to just lie #ouououghghghg painful bro. painful. but the most painful part is that id have to beat the king again orz...... #it took me AWHILE to beat that guy. he killed me like TWICE with his hp down to the quarter and i refused to let that count to the loop #cuz i didnt wanna lose my bomb and yea sure tbf i couldve just equipped the memory for it but like-- siffrin's extra hp tho #and if it was possible to kill the king without having to loop and lose the bomb i crafted then id take that chance #it was a terrible experience tho. i had to exit the game itself to reload a save for that. first defeat happened cuz i THOUGHT #he'd only do that deadly attack ONCE and i had the shield on cooldown when he did it the 2nd time and uuuuggghhhh #2nd battle was the worst my rng during then was ASS everyone was in life support cuz the king kept BUFFING HIMSELF #and i couldnt use the shield cuz i cant count the turns. i dont even know how to and even if i could my memory cant keep up #and with the king buffing himself. the tears reducing my team's def. it was the worst possible combination like bro... #and now im in act 3 and gonna have to fight him again ouououuoghhghghghhg..... ill try and level up everyone before that fight then.... #everyone was at 50 by the king's fight (except for siff ofc he was at 59 i think?). i know i can get the others at 52 tho

I’m actually I think maybe more mad about the treatment Ethan got in that film. People talking about him like he’s James Bond and I will not stand for it. He’s never disrespected or diminished a female agent and he’s NEVER let a GF die not even in MI2 which was so bad it was retconned (unless I guess you count MI OG?? Like I wouldn’t but). He’s just nice. Benji has played damsel in distress more than anyone in the series. Furious they would even TRY to paint him that way.

#lIKE???? he doesn’t NOT kill the blonde girl because she’s a girl!!! he didn’t kill her because she was incapacitated before being dead and #he’s a good person and he doesn’t finish people off when he doesn’t have to! he thought about it! but he’s a good dude! I HATE them trying #to act like he’s fkn James Bond he is NOT!!!! ahhhh!!!! he just does not love killing he’s nice!!! #the man is not DEACON st JOHN or smth!!! MI one happened and now NOT being his father is 87% of Ethan’s personality that’s IT!!! #‘he always does this w women he thinks they’re all over their heads and need rescuing’ go fuck yourself it’s literally a comedic line in MI #Fallout — THE LAST MOVIE!! that Ilsa goes ‘you don’t understand what you’re involved in.’ and he goes ‘/I/ don’t understand what I’m #involved in??? //I// DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IM INVOLVED IN??? … what am I involved in?😅’ #Ilsa is introduced saving his ass. Julie - a civvie - spends the end of MI 3 killing people and bringing him back to life #and he’s like ‘you did all this? wow. 🥺💙’ Carter and he are parallels. tf you bitches mean did you even watch the show #I just have so much anger rn you cannot say this shit about my little guy #and I know it’s the lesser bad saying it but the narrative was trying to reinforce it #mission impossible dead reckoning #mission impossible dead reckoning spoilers

I NEED to update my Radiance's gijinka design I stg I have such cool art ideas for her and PK but I am. So lazy.

Two sides of the same coin, equally as awful morally grey people that would maul each other to death if put in the same room, I love them 💜

I need to also focus more on her role in my AU because while I've rewritten pretty much the entire thing she was left behind and now idk what to do with her in the long run oopsie. All ik is that she ends up being mortal or near mortal after her fight with Ghost and Flower and she is Not happy about it, but it's also the only way PK would have left her alive and Flower is big on second chances so now she's just here, bitter and angry and a shadow of her former self (and actually I just didn't have it in me to kill her before I could do something cool with her + I like the potential dynamic she could have with other characters)

#thylacines can talk #faaf au #dunno where to put her now. originally she was going to return to her moth tribe and i might. do that still. have her try to live as just a #part of her people? what do ya think? humbles her a lot over time id imagine. but at first she's furious #she DESPISES the entire Palelight family especially PK and the two of his spawn that did this to her. doesn't help that Flower likes to go #to the blue lake to relax and its worringly close to the resting grounds. might have to abandon that habit for a bit if a certain #malice-eminating moth finds out about it. hard to relax when theres an angry ex god glaring at you. looking as if theyre planning your #demise. ya know? #i like the scene where Flower takes her to the palace and they walk in on PK having a meeting with his court about possible solutions to the #plague. suddenly becomes most stressful meeting of his life <3 #pk: And what stops me from just killing you right now? | Radi: UH- #flower steps between them #Radi internally: Oh thank god they're this stupid #one of initial character traits of Radis was the fact she kept referring to Flower as PK's child and praising them and rubbing their #existence in his face. like in a 'oh you must be so proud' way. because she KNEW it made him feel awful and she took delight in it #couldnt give two shits about flower she just liked to use them as a poking stick on their father #theyd bicker so much it was funny #WL sarcastic: Oh. Great. Wonderful. Thanks for that. As if we didn't have enough on our heads. #Flower barely standing and bleeding all over the place: 👍
