can i say something. for years i thought the joke of the song short skirt/long jacket by cake was that he wanted a woman who was hung like a horse. like i thought when he says jacket it was a last-second fakeout because he very obviously meant to say cock. and the rest of the things in the song were just her personality and interests. which were secondary to her awesome penis

I love when azula calls herself the earth king’s humble servant while pretending to be a kyoshi warrior because suki would literally never say that (not even to avatar kyoshi herself), that line is ALL azula. that line, specifically, is not an attempt at impersonation or a performance, besides the fact of whom it’s directed towards. no, it actually reveals exactly how she sees herself, her role in the world, her relationship to ozai. despite her pomp and grandiosity, servitude best defines her role. and not just humility, but negation of the self entirely. suki would never present herself in this way, but how is azula to know that, when her entire life has been defined by her obedience and undying loyalty to the ultimate patriarch. his humble servant.

it's immensely funny to me how andrew lloyd webber read this passage from the book and was like yeah the journey down to the phantom's lair is this really breathtaking magical gondola ride where christine is just captivated by the strange and fantastical beauty of it all (see below)
when in the novel they're both like in a rowboat in the dark with christine scared out of her mind and confused as hell while erik is paddling like he's out for an extreme day of fishing and just staring christine down for the entire duration of the journey without blinking once . like mind you his eyes quite literally GLOW in the DARK and he's just fucking staring into her soul and silently rowing and probably not even breathing like

one thing that is fascinating to me about merrill's arc is the way narrative manages to convince a big part of the fandom that she's immature and irresponsible and overall stupid. what we know about merrill and what we actually see on screen is that she successfully avoids possession for 6 years while working closely with a demon, almost every time she participates in some magic/spirit-related discourse she acts calm and confident and has some interesting input, she actively uses her knowledge of dalish lore and tradition to reason with her keeper, and that she actually did make progress with fixing and studying an ancient long forgotten artifact no one knows particularly anything about. but then an old woman who's never been shown to be an undeniably wise and reasonable figure, a guy who got willingly possessed with no awareness of possible consequences and whose whole mindset is still deeply andrastian and a bunch of people who know nothing about magic start judging and doubting her and everyone's like. yeah. she's so fucking dumb.

Why do people think lacking empathy means a person is outright aggressive and has no concept of manners + can't differentiate between right and wrong

just chilling and suddenly brain hits with the thought that what if I fcked up something in Gale's romance route and he may leave my Tav in the end to try to become dumbass god anyway (so to die like a total fool)
im too far from finishing this playthrough to figure it out so I'm just.... gonna be very cautious and afraid all this time, I guess
