Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
vaggie, miss "im not used to fighting with long hair" who's out of practice actually battling someone or really stabbing ppl...
...still had the arm and hand strength, the REFLEXES, to do a bare handed blade catch on a SWORD, who's user had been doing an aerial dive with it aimed at vaggie's FACE
then sling around and THROW her opponent with it
i know she wants a peaceful-ish life with charlie, but i really wouldn't mind seeing her getting into just a FEW more fights >:D
also also side note:
carmilla was able to eff her up earlier so easily bc vaggie fought like an exorcist, no thought to getting hurt or personal defense, the headspace of 'i can't get killed! wheee! DIE DIE DIE' that got that other exorcist killed
and the main advice vaggie got from carmilla was take advantage of that sure, but first and more importantly, defend yourself better
which kinda plays into the whole "be out for love thing" too
aka the fight isn't important, it's what you're fighting to still have Afterwards that matters- the people you love, having a life with them
(the hotel, the hazbins, charlie)
carmilla doesn't send vaggie off with a 'you're ready to go kill angels'. she's only satisfied and ends their little lesson / sparring match when she can say "you might just survive this"
feels like she wasn't teaching vaggie to take out angels. she was reminding her and showing her how NOT to get KILLED
so it's just so nice seeing vaggie blocking, dodging, and grappling lute later. how good she is at focusing on avoiding or neutralizing those attacks aimed at her. how Seriously she takes them
binding lute's both lute's arms and wedging them into her own body so lute's sword CAN'T be angled towards her
the way this shot emphasis's the THREAT of the sword hanging over vaggie
and how her flash-fast recovery and block shows she's READY for it
dodging, not attacking
she's not in this for blood or vengeance, this lady is trying to stay the fuck alive. she's got things and people to live for
things like the idea of mercy. that thing both her and charlie show their enemies, people who came down to hell for murder and spent this fight trying to kill them and got damn close to doing it.
and sure there's a pretty big tone difference between charlie's "Whoa whoa dad. He's had enough" and vaggie's "No, live. Live knowing that you only do because I let you" but both end at the same place, with someone who hates them still getting a second chance
(UNLESS ITS NIFFTY WITH THE ANGELIC BLAAADE)
and vaggie wants that second chance too. she wants a life with charlie, and fights hard so she can stick around for it
epic fail, lute... have you considered getting a hobby...?
Can you finally forget about ever being allies with the racist and fascist leftist progressives?
It’s obvious they just hate you as Jews and will support anyone who goes against you.
You should’ve listened to Ben Shapiro’s wisdom.
First of all, I'm a fucking leftist so watch you mouth!
Second do you think the right is any fucking better? the only difference is that the right usually don't hide behind pretty words when they say they want us dead.
Ben Shapiro is not wise, he is a little angry toy Jew for the American right, and the fact that right now he is not spewing complete fucking nonsense does not means I'm gonna align myself to that fucker without him rewriting his political beliefs. Not to mention he still spews bullshit!
He is literally the American Extreme right pet Jew! And I take anything a "pet minority" say with a grain of fucking salt! no matter from where on the political they are presented!
If two of my enemies are my enemies, they are still both my enemies! I am going to yell at the leftist for being terrible and hypocrites, just like I'm gonna yell at the right for being terrible and hypocrites. In this blog we do not discriminate and treat all stupidity equally. I am yelling at the global left because they are just higher on my shit list right now.
P.S
"pet minority" is any person from a minority that a bunch of bigots prop up to say "look! even ____ agree with us", when we know they are bigots and don't give a fuck about the minority in question, or wish harm on the minority group in question.
ppl genuinely praising the iranian government the way they're doing in the trending page is so insane to me isreal is committing active genocide the solution isn't to praise a government that is committed to violating as many human rights laws as possible against its own people. you should not feel comfortable. iran did not heroically save a nation. you can acknowledge armed defence is beneficial to/necessary for liberating palestine without suddenly becoming an iranian government fan i promise there is a secret third way
idk man season 10 of doctor who is just so special to me, as someone who used to relate to the Doctor's self hatred so much. watching that season every week, I was so changed by the throughline narrative of the whole thing just being the Doctor finally accepting love in so many different ways. like he said goodbye to River and realised that, actually, he could love and be loved and not only that but it's literally the only thing that matters. and he realises how terrible it actually was before so he befriends bill and helps her even though he's not supposed to and accepts nardole's care. biggest of all, the Doctor is like "okay I will take all this love and acceptance of that love and the realisation it makes me better and I will pass that lesson on to my best friend and try to save them how I was saved." idk man, it makes me wanna cry when I think about 12 and Missy and how 12 insists on showing her that caring is the right thing even when it fucking hurts and he does it by caring FOR HER which he couldn't do before because he was so closed off and self-hating. seeing in the Master only the parts of himself he hated so much, but then he loves River and River loves him and it fundamentally changes him. (not that I would know) but I'm guessing knowing and loving someone fully like that and them doing the same for you makes it easier to see yourself and others as people to love. like when the tenth doctor meets river in the library... Oh, man. can you imagine hating yourself so much, literally believing you're a monster and fucking numb to letting yourself love anything and then here's this person who's whole existence is proof that actually you will love and be fucking loved and it's horrifying until it isn't. season 10 is literally the Doctor finally just so full of love so at peace with his self-hatred. It's really about him accepting that not everyone can be saved the same way he was. It's a perfect season, emotionally that's actually about how love strengthens love, how all the ways we love are connected. my deepest darkest truth is that no matter how much I hate his guts, fucking of all people Steven Moffat wrote the season of Doctor Who that impacted me the most and made me feel seen and gave me hope when I was in a fucked up place as corny as that is. Season 10 is so precious to me. I'm glad people who gave up on the show and are now catching up for the 60th will watch it for the first time cos that shit saved my life and that's not even an exaggeration.
i didn't think i cared much for n's final battle theme bc i'm a sucker for melodically strong pieces aka certified bangers. but i must say it does a good job at making you uncomfortable when you really listen to the details. it's got tritones, clock ticking sounds, heartbeats, fire and lighting sound effects for reshiram and zekrom, up and down flights, ominous choir, plenty of dissonance. i woke up in a cold sweat at like 5am today with it hauntingly stuck in my head for some reason and that makes it deserving of my respect
- the oratrice has to play a role in furina's plan to save fontaine. the original sin committed by egeria is probably what furina, as the hydro archon, is being sentenced to. could there be a way for furina to "separate" herself, sentencing part of herself to death and entrusting the future of fontaine's justice to another? (i'm still stuck in the three thrones so fragmentation of the self is something i think has been hinted at) could this mean the end of the oratrice itself?
- neuvillette looked like he was hovering above the entire city while using his powers. we know he doesn't have his full sovereign powers so if he is the one stopping the flooding, what power is he using? could he be making use of the hydro gnosis?
- the oratrice has been accumulating energy and power as a means to an end, it converts fontaine's people's belief in justice into indemnitium. could this be the power that will save the nation?
- remember nicole's quote after scaramouche deleted himself from the irminsul? "unfortunately, the fate of teyvat cannot easily be changed. perhaps a god may have a slim chance, but for anyone else... who can say. [...] history does not change easily, but human hearts can. believe your own eyes. only that which you see is true. what is unseen is but an illusion." this ties with the themes of fontaine a bit to well for it not feel like some sort of foreshadowing. nicole also appears in the trailer saying" the prophecy... yes, what has been prophesized will be fullfiled." coincidence? i don't think so. arlecchino and furina constantly talk as if everything is teatrichal and the name of this quest masquerade of the guilty also implies a false show. do i know what this means exactly? no. but you can't tell me this isn't big and related to the way atonement will be reached regarding the sin tainting fontaine and it's people.
My favourite thing about the clock I'm trying to make is that it will stop working in 100 years. I think I'm pretty safe in saying that I'm not going to care about this clock in 2127. Chances are I'll have been dead over 30 years by then. Chances are the code I used to make it will be obsolete and broken beyond repair by then.
listen I am someone who will write 5k words analyzing every minor detail of something and then immediately turn around and make a joke about the topic I was analyzing that directly ignores all of the context around the topic because sometimes ignoring every single bit of context for the sake of making a haha funny post....is ok
some shits going down on flight rising again and its become a debate between ppl who havent broken a rule going "lol dont you rule breakers know youre on borrowed time? shouldnt you chill out and accept your doom?" and the ppl who Have broken the rule going "wow now heres another thing i cant do so i can keep flying under the radar and extend my borrowed time. staff is so rude tho" and theyre both like. wrong.
i love being aro. full stop. i have never felt as full of joy as i feel knowing that i don’t need to find a partner, i don’t need to be comfortable with romance, i don’t need to conform to the ideas i internalized growing up.
but i keep thinking about 15 year old me, who realized they were aro and cried. who wanted anything but to accept that part of themself.
so, to 15 year old me, and to anyone else feeling those feelings: being aro isn’t a death sentence. it does not mean you’ll never be happy. it doesn’t mean the people you care about will leave you, regardless of what you’ve been told. you can find joy in not partnering. you can also still have a partner, if that’s something you want! it’s easy to mourn the life it seems like you’ll never have, but if you still want a partner, a marriage, any sort of long term commitment, you can have it. and if you don’t want it, then you don’t have to have it!
i wish 15 year old me could see how much they’d learn. how many people they’d meet and how much they’d come to understand both themself and the world around them because of this wonderful community. i wish i could tell them it’s going to be okay, not despite being aro but because of it.
being aro is a wonderful thing. i am so glad i learned to be proud of it. it’s amazing to see the community become gradually more visible over time.
