Someone pull Pinterest out of my hands, I almost started crying at this image

#he’s so little and itty bitty and young and doesn’t know everything he’s going to achieve #he has no idea how much his life is going to charge #he doesn’t know how many people he’s going to impact #he’s so little I’m so emotional #he has no idea what’s going to happen to him #the good and the bad #this is why I gave Pinterest up for lent #tubbo

riptide is about a lot of things. it's about freedom. it's about corruption. it's about selfishness. it's about selflessness. it's about destiny. but above everything, riptide is about family.

#jrwi #jrwi riptide #its about all family #the chosen and the assigned #the good and the bad #the present and the lost #and what that all means #this is probably nonsense but i havent been watching riptide in months and just recently started catching up again #and ik tumblr will welcome my autistic word vomit

fmab color symbolism again. i think it's really interesting how white is associated with evil in several cases, most notably with father and kimblee.

father as the pale, lifeless reflection of hohenheim, drained of his humanity in the search of godhood, fixated on purity to the expense of compassion.

kimblee as a well-dressed, well-spoken monster, whose sharp suit hides his bloody hands. his pure white suit serving as an extension of what he wore in ishval, the white cloak characteristic of the amestrian soldier.

#my post #fmab #father fma #solf j. kimblee #and these are the two most evil characters in the whole show #or at least you could argue it very convincingly #both grasping at power at the expense of others' lives #and we can't ignore how truth is also associated with white #but its association is balanced- the black and the white #the good and the bad

Today - 5 years ago - Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected as President of Ukraine 🫶❤️

#oh what another time another life #not knowing what the future would bring them #all the things that would happen #the good and the bad #and he would still do it again even if he knew what would be coming #the best president #the best first lady #strong steadfast courageous hardworking #servants of their people

the first sex and the city movie is basically one satc episode inflated with advertising for haute couture and real estate

#i like it but come on #sex and the city #satc #also the humour that made the show so special doesn't work with the way that they shot and edited it #esp the music #we do not speak of the second movie #although it was very much of its time #for better and for worse #that's the thing though #the franchise has always been able to tap into the zeitgeist #the good and the bad #and just like that feels different #but i think that a lot of the criticism that it gets is unfair

She wasn't looking for a knight. She was looking for a sword.

And the other half of the duo. If Bill shares my job, Rita shares my personality. I love her no-nonsense "do what it takes to finish this" mentality.

@nade2308 @malewifebillcage

#edge of tomorrow #rita vrataski #she's my favorite type of female character #because I see myself in her #the good and the bad #the ability to put everything aside for the greater good #and the need to let go and let someone help you once in a while #I think the best characters are the ones that make you look at yourself #and go oh I feel called out #but also I feel seen in the best way #again #tag ramble #but I adore both rita and bill so much

Many sweeps ago for Nymira :)

hi i could wait to post this when it's not 1:20 am but. y'know, it feels in the spirit of the thing

---

It was a still morning in the children’s wing, the quiet dawn disturbed only by the soft pitter patter of little feet tamping down the hall.

Nymira appeared in her father’s doorway with a hand to her mouth, teeth resting against her knuckle in a childish gesture she’d yet to outgrow. Clutched in her other fist was a blanket, pulled straight from her bed and dragged after her like a train.

Within the room, Favion stirred, though she struggled to determine whether he was really awake. Her uncertainty did not last long.

“Come here, little sprout. What are you doing up?”

With her prophet’s permission, she tottered over to the bed, blanket still draped behind her. He hooked his hands beneath her arms and lifted her onto his lap, safe and secure in his clawed embrace.

“I felt lonely,” Nymira mumbled through her hand, leaning into the man’s chest. She paused to soak in the smell of him, the feel of his nightshirt’s soft fabric pressed against her cheek. 

Favion brushed a lock of hair behind her ear, his thumb rubbing gentle arcs along her jaw. “You did very good, coming to me. There’s no reason to be lonely while I’m here.”

“Cylion and Somnia get to share their space,” she added as he laid her down in the bed beside him. “They don’t ever get lonely.”

There was no reason to remind him, of course. It was Favion that arranged for the boys’ rooms to be connected in the first place. The conversation lulled as he tucked her beneath the covers, settling in himself a moment later and then returning his hand to pet her face.

“Why can’t I share with them?” She asked, with the cadence of someone who had already posed the same question many times before. Her father, for all the whisperings of his monstrosity, had only ever been patient and kind toward Nymira, and the goddess always spoke her thoughts freely.

Still, his answer was the same. 

“You are very special, my little dreamer. The rules are different for you.”

“Do they play games in there without me?”

Favion smoothed her hair with one large, clawed hand, laying a kiss on her forehead as if to ease the crease in her brow. “Of course not, sprout. You are the center of everything.”

"I found peace in your violence" is so very Hawks whose entire life has been fake and meticulously planned and monitored, finally experiencing something new and real with Dabi even if that experience isn't positive emotions in of itself.

#hawks #keigo takami #dabi #dabihawks #mha hawks #takami keigo #bnha hawks #hawks bnha #touya todoroki #hawks life is so fake #but dabi doesnt care about Hawks he cares about the man in front of him #so everything dabi does feels so very real #that Hawks will glady take it all #the good and the bad #just to feel like hes part of this earth #and not exist as a TV show

I came across a question in an application recently and it had me pause and think. The question?

What is the most important quality a storyteller should have?

Now I would like to think I know something about storytelling since I have studied two forms of it within writing and graphic design, but I never really thought about this question before. I sat and thought about it. My mind went back to things I have written, designed, read, and watched over the years. I thought about when I talk to others from casual conversations to job interviews. One answer came to mind when I thought about the most successful ones I have seen.

My answer? A storyteller needs to be human.

Gale’s Best and worst: ML episodes.

So For this I will be going by season, Saying which episode is the Best in the season and which one is the worst.

Season 1

Best: Origins Part 2: I think it’s clear that this episode does have the best scene in the show with the umbrella scene. But this episode also showed Marinette over come her doubt and show how the dynamic of the two started. We see Marinette gain her confidence and that is amazing.

Worst: Antibug: This was a toss up originally but I think in retrospect it was obvious. It cut an episode that could have been for Sabrina, Chloe was wrong yet the episode made Marinette/Ladybug appologize. The set up was a joke and while I did enjoy the ladynoir, it can’t make up for a lack luster set up. That being said this episode is probably the only episode on the worst category I don’t full on hate, it’s just a wasted episode that could have done much better

Season 2:

Best: Darkowl: As surprising as it is, Darkowl gives a good pace, a solid reasoning for AKUMATIZATION a clever akuma, several close calls and a satisfying end. It can be a touch cringe but I think its the best written episode of the season

Worst: Frozer: Everyone is basically an asshole, and while the ice power ups and the akuma design are cool (pun intended) I just feel like this was such an unnecessary episode. It’s got cluttered writing and it’s just not fun

Season 3

Best: Oblivio: I’m constantly fluctuating between this and Chat Blanc, but in terms of the best writing and suspense, Oblivio is a better episode. It allows us to see the core of Marinette and Adrien and it’s because of this episode I didn’t give up on ML. So the power this episode has is something that I can’t ignore.

Worst: Reflekdoll: it’s like every bad decision was made when writing this episode. If the entire series was like this episode I’d call it one of the worst tv shows in existence. It’s message is poor, the akuma is lacking and the Ladynoir appears so toxic in this (which is so uncharacteristic). I’ve pontificated on this subject in length so to put it simply IT SUCKS

Season 4:

Best: Strikeback: This is the best season finale to date. High drama, high suspense, great pacing and a total shift in the story. It sets up the next season perfectly and has the second best scene in the series. I call this episode the savior of the season

Worst: Ephemeral: It finally beat out Sole crusher as my least favorite episode of season 4. I hate this episode because it’s not only full of plot holes, no one learns anything And honestly it’s sort of just an inferior version of chat blanc in every category. Even the scenes I did like feel so much more hollow, knowing that there is zero impact, and the set up for it only gets worse on rewatch. So best thing is to get the clips of the episode and skip the negatives
