#they aren’t a good match

[the-darkestminds]

I think this is the scene where I decided I didn’t want Elain and Azriel to be endgame. We’ve just experienced this super intense and dangerous rescue in which Azriel (and Feyre) saves Elain from the Hybern war camp. Azriel’s wings are shredded, he’s leaking blood everywhere, swaying on his feet, and all Elain does is kiss him on the cheek and walk away. No outward display of distress over his horrific injuries, no panicking, no words exchanged. I know people will say it’s because she doesn’t know him well yet but think of the interactions between Nesta and Cassian at this point. The instinct that takes over when a mate is injured is everything, and Elain and Azriel will never have that. And that fact was really noticeable to me in this scene.

#sorry y’all #their interactions are weird #they aren’t a good match #sarah j maas #sjm #acowar #acomaf #acotar #acosf #acofas #a court of wings and ruin #a court of mist and fury #a court of thorns and roses #a court of frost and starlight #a court of silver flames #anti elriel #anti e/riel #Lucien #elucien #pro elucien #Lucien x elain #pro Elain #pro Lucien #pro lucien vanserra #azriel #azriel acotar #elain acotar #pro gwynriel #gwynriel #pro azriel

i feel weird when people credit the hito hito no mi model nika for luffy’s good deeds because luffy isnt kind and frees people because of his devil fruit, he’s kind because its who he is &it’s the type of person he’s grown to be. its because luffy has these traits that his devil fruit chose him & he was able to awaken it

#I love g5 and the idea of Sun god Nika but that isn’t luffy #I think it’s entirely possible for luffy to be a good person and that be an entirely human &natural aspect of him #&I’m still under the belief zoan awakenings only happen once the user is fully in sync with the zoan #it’s more likely that luffy’s ideals just happened to match up with nika’s #but then again we aren’t even sure if Nika is real or just the personification of a collection of hopes and dreams #idk #does any of this make sense #one piece #yapping

Ohhhh, Anon's perfect apple ask is now giving me blessed imagery of Dusknoir cutting apple slices into bunny shapes. Maybe for Opal, maybe for him to show off, either way.

The soft, the dexterity, the GENTLENESS after such a prolonged period of violence he had undergone. Opal called him her gramps for a reason, after all.

(Referencing this post)

Hey how does it feel to have given me a prompt that had me tearing up all throughout the process of drawing it because of how unbearably heartfelt and endearing it is?

#I need to incorporate this into a fic somehow. it’s so sweet 🥺 #Dusknoir cutting apples into fun shapes and patterns is now 100% canon #he’s always coming up with new ways make apples and other fruits into unique treats #Twig once asked him to teach her how to do all these crazy shapes and he refused. #sorry Twig this is a trade secret in the grandpa industry #anyhoo #FIRST RUBY CAMEO YEAHHHHHHH #I’m tentatively deciding that she’s a unovan zorua and her siblings are hisuian zoroarks #but Ruby (whenever she’s supposed to be in her ‘normal’ appearance) is usually transformed into a hisuian zorua #it takes a while for her to feel comfy enough to be in her true ‘default’ form— even after her siblings aren’t around— #because she always felt like a sore thumb when compared to her siblings. #after a while she reveals her true appearance to Opal before anyone else. she’s scared of how she’ll react. she’s scared to be rejected. #but instead of rejecting her Opal gets super excited about how ‘we match each other so good— we’re basically twins! this is so cool!’ #it takes a bit. but Ruby doesn’t feel like she sticks out as awkwardly when her pelt matches Opal’s shadowy form and red eyes so well. #they’re sister your honor. #the present is a gift au #shadow baby AU #pmd dusknoir #dadnoir #pmd oc #pmd ocs #pokemon mystery dungeon #pokémon mystery dungeon #pmd explorers #pmd sky #pmd eos #pmd2 #pmd #sofie answers asks #stuff by sofie

can I see your new tattoos? 👉🏻👈🏻

of course!! the first 2 pics are from my tattoo artist so that’s why they’re better looking than the others 😩

#i promise they’re all really good i know the photos aren’t great #also the match one is a cover up that’s not finished yet cos i physically could not sit any longer #bethanie answers

One of the most interesting things about religion to me is that so many people don’t even see the mental gymnastics they are doing to try and shape the biblical texts into a framework that is acceptable in the modern day and it comes out looking like something that none of the authors would have approved of.

#not to mention that they were written by authors at different times and for different purposes #so they say lots of different things #which makes it easy to pick and choose the interpretation that best matches what you want #like the ‘one man one woman’ definition of marriage that doesn’t exist literally anywhere in the Bible #women were property and men could have as many as they wanted #but then once the Greeks influenced them a bit in the New Testament it says leaders of the church should have one wife #so that means the Bible is against polygamy even though every man in the Bible had multiple wives #or the people that say the Bible is against slavery #even though there is literal chattel slavery described in the Old Testament with commands on how to do it #and in the new testament slaves are told to obey their masters #then they say that they aren’t slaves just servants #which is completely false #it reminds me of how so many Protestants are vehemently against alcohol #so whenever the Bible refers to wine in a good context they say it’s juice #and whenever it’s bad it is wine #even though several different words are used that basically all refer to fermented alcoholic wine #they translate them all differently as needed #like how Jesus said sell all your belongings and give them to the poor #then the Bible tells how literally all of the early Christians sold all their possessions and donated the money #and now people say that just means to be generous #and then don’t even leave a tip at a restaurant because they hate handouts

I know all they did was make me suffer through awful matches but…. I kinda miss barça

#though it’s good that there aren’t matches rn bc I’m suuuuppperrr busy #so if I had a match to watch I’d be neglecting my responsibilities to watch it #fcb #barça #fc barcelona

People hating on a literal child because she doesn’t physically look like a character in a book who we only ever saw in concept art and fanart vs me who was kinda sad when I realized book Percy wasn’t black because the description of a young boy living in New York who’s close with his single mother parent who is constantly seen as stupid troublemaker by both peers and teachers and his moms awful boyfriend and who’s only friend is the only other Outcast (non white) classmate who’s only ally is the literature teacher who then he finds also has doubts about him felt very if not fully black then at least mixed coded.

But then I moved on and enjoyed the story for what it gave me, can some of these people say the same 🤔

#I have not yet watched the show I’ll probably wait for more episodes bc I canceled D+ like two months ago #but idk many of yall are not 12 anymore and saying Leah won’t do a good job or it won’t be as good #we only saw any of these characters in our minds eye #or concept art #im not saying you can’t be disappointed when things aren’t 100% a match bc you want to see a good adaptation of the Book #and I need to do a reread but I would think Annabeth’s whole other shit aka running away cross country at 7 always being nosy and wanting #a quest being ready for battle but learning to have fun too #is more integral to her character ESPECIALLY IN MARK OF ATHENA #the blond hair in the books is a trait from Athena so it’s not a unique hurdle other girls in the cabin wouldn’t also face #it mattered bc she was a main character #But taking the core struggle of not being taken seriously works pretty damn well for any girl but especially black girls AT ALL TIMES #and not to be funny but saying the other characters are already diverse feels like a side step #like look Hazel in her eyes and say not being taken seriously BECAUSE of your HAIR COLOR is on the same level #as not being taken seriously because you’re a black girl #and if this breaches containment #yes the show would have been fine even if a picture perfect accurate cast had been hired #but if we want to move past people being cast bc of how they look vs how they act #you can’t hold the gospel of a book series against literal children who are probably having the time of their life #or would be if grown ass adults were attacking them bc SOMEONE ELSE HITED THEM #if the show is bad it’s not bc Annabeth is black or Percy is blonde #hell in good omens both leads are older in the book they’re described as looking 25 and 30 #can you imagine good omens as it is now with book accurate casting bc I can’t

If we really get Becky vs Rhea AND Bayley vs Iyo AND Jimmy vs Jey at WM? I’m gonna lose it for real 😭 Those are matches I’ve been DREAMING about for fucking ever. Please, I’m begging you Hunter! Don’t just tease that shit, make it happen!

#add Sami vs whoever holds the WHC at that point too while you’re at it #yes I’m still on my Sami for surprise rumble winner or ec winner agenda #also still on my Bayley win the rumble agenda #these are still going strong #and give Jey and Jimmy a proper build up to their match too #those 3 second Jey appearances every Monday really aren’t it y’know? #anyway #add a good Roman match that he wins to my wishlist as well #he needs to beat that record before he drops it or retires

[solacebean]

I’m just saying there IS a difference and it’s kinda important

#like if you’re gonna call Raph’s other selves alters #then I feel like you should understand #that they aren’t fully differentiated personalities from Raphael himself #they are literally called mind raph and savage raph #they share the same name just different ‘modes’ or like jobs or whatever #Raph is supposed to be the host that lives a normal life with his brothers #savage raph comes out to protect raph and the rest of the system #mind raph is there for guidance #etc etc #raph still experiences amnesia #though he’s been shown to have a good enough relationship with mind raph to be able to communicate #osdd 1a is did but without fully differentiated alters #osdd 1a can also still experience amnesia #lots of systems can learn to work together and trust each other enough to communicate #I’m not an expert on this subject I’ve just done lots of my own research #and I do mean a LOT of research #which is why I was always confused whenever I saw people use DID headcanons for raph #since his symptoms didn’t exactly match the research I had done on it #but it does match a lot better with osdd 1a #I’m just saying if you’re gonna headcanon him with alters at least try to get the right information #btw if I got anything wrong or whatever feel free to correct me #I may have done tons of research but like I said I’m not an expert #rottmnt #rottmnt raph

anyways I can’t believe I have to watch novak djokovic play one of my absolute favorite tennis players in a late-round match at the australian open not once but twice

#rip taylor you came you served and you died #it’s not that the matches aren’t high quality it’s just that he’s too fucking good at the ao

ok but when will the ml writers realize that kagami is gay

#me @ the writers: you created a lesbian but you keep making her date boys who clearly aren’t a good match for her #saw some spoilers and… ive got so many issues #and even if i didn’t think she was gay #not every single character has to be in a romantic relationship oh my god especially when it comes out of nowhere and there is no chemistry #miraculous ladybug #ml spoilers #kagami tsurugi #txt

[darlaxfurrr]

why did i not notice this…

#pierre gasly #yuki tsunoda #yukierre #they really are writing their own fanfic aren’t they… #i hope they have matching toothbrushes in white and navy as well #good for them

[halfasl33p]

pedri, babes, what happened. I blinked and you were limping

#this match was so?? #it was getting tense at the end there we rlly need to start closing these games earlier #I’m happy for the wins but these 1-0 games aren’t good for my soul #dembele u slayed today #gavi u also slayed today #barcelona #fc barcelona #gavi #pedri #dembelé

[buffysummers]

1) No, she shouldn’t have.

2) This is such a weird fucking thing to do. If you hate the ship, why reblog the set? Just to be an asshole?

3) Blocked. Fuck off

#if you have to dumb down a character to make their relationship believable #they aren’t a good match lol

[peach-pot]

I will say one thing I always think about while watching the good place is how like…. interesting the balance it strikes between conforming to and defying amatanormativity is.

#idk how to describe it exactly I think. but it both very clearly says like #no yeah soulmates fake look some people aren’t going to be happiest with a romantic partner as a necessary part of their life #look how all these people have importsnt bonds even when they’re not romantic #but then also like. trying to avoid major spoilers in case my bf is reading this. lexicon stop reading. #ok spoiler time but then like at the end when they’re finally seeing their houses for the first time in the good place it’s like #all the couples live in their houses with their s/o and everyone else seemingly lives alone #and yeah they’re right next to each other but still. #and stuff with Janet sometimes feels odd towards the beginning to me I cannot describe it on the fly #and then the big one in my head is like. famously indecisive chidi being told he has two women who could be perfect matches for him #and he’s like ‘oh geez gotta choose’ GIRL you do not. i mean he’s being told he has to but he never even pitches being poly? come on #you could argue it’s because it’s not just that he struggles deciding but that he’s obsessed with finding the one correct answer to stuff #so he would want to find the one correct answer to who to have be his soulmate… but that is dumb #because to his knowledge some magical afterlife tech already figured out they’re both equally matched #wat ever idk if this makes sense when it’s fully out of my brain #hannah talks sometimes #i should write an essay about this to get it outa my brain. it would suck a little but.

he’s toeing the dangerous line of pedro pascal core and i fear one day he’ll give in to it

#misc. #those last two are outfits pedro would wear on his good days #i’d say the first one is very him too bc that jacket reminds me a lot of him for some reason #but i think pedro would’ve worn it with black shorts and david put on a blue shirt and green pants that match it #like i don’t hate that one as much as i should #and the second one is so close to pedro too #but the pants are too cool and the shoes aren’t running shoes
