Random detail in Nimona I recognized:
In the beginning, Ballister sees no problem in calling Nimona a "monster". Because he was taught hat it was fine to use it, he was taught that it is a trait that must be called out.
But as the movie goes on, he loses it. Especially in the last argument, where Nimona dares him to say it. He learnt that it is a slur, that it is not okay to describe someone like that. And so, he does not say it. Even when dared to and in the heat of the moment, he realized a mistake in his past and his refusal to rturn to the former mentality is gorgeous.

I remember after reading the first book I was left with this shock that katniss was able to cheat her way into winning the games. And the shock came from this impression that the games are this perfect machine of state violence that cannot be tampered with.
But then you read tbosbas and you realize that the games have never been perfect. The first games were crude pet projects of a mad scientist and the idea came from a drunken and regretful student's school project.
And then you see Lucy gray's game. Where snow cheats his way to victory. And some of that was his "love" for Lucy gray but most of it was his desire to win and to control.
And he's rewarded for it. Snow reenters Panem and takes the things he's learned over that summer to be even more cunning in the ways he controls. He poisons Highbottom, he institutes changes to create the games we know from the original trilogy.
Snow never believed in the games the way Panem marketed it. He always bent the rules for his own gain. He's self-serving at his core. And HE'S the one to shape the games, to usher it into the future.
So the games have never been perfect and theyve never been played by the "rules". They have always been imperfect vehicles of state violence carefully crafted by the people in power to help them gain more power and control.
It was a house of cards and it fell as soon as the people stood together against it

I'm so grateful that the only GG fans that care about the light novels are the ones that can be normal about things because Lightning the Argent goes from the rawest scenes of carnage imaginable to Ky Kiske doing something mildly religious like offering a short, silent, prayer for someone that got mangled to death by WMD dragons, and I just know that, in the wrong hands, those brief religious moments would generate the most annoying goddamn memes you could ever imagine
#textpost#I have a mountain of beef with catholicism specifically and am negative percent religious#But the punchline to so many Ky jokes is just “ha ha catholic” like come onnnnn get creative#Religion on its own isn't bad. Look instead at how an individual interacts with it and judge from there#Untapped potential in how Ky's consistently depicted praying to Mary/an unspecified female saint for example#Actually... How come I've never seen anyone analyze that aspect of his belief?#His parents died when he was pretty young (iirc) so their influence couldn't've been too much of a contributing factor in that#Maybe he was closer to his mom in the brief time he had with his parent(s)?#Almost all of the Holy Order knights/members they've ever shown have been male too#So I wonder if maybe it's more like the calm/uncombative protective presence of a sacred woman is comforting to him?#It's definitely a stark contrast to the types of things he's generally exposed to in his daily life in any case#Another interesting contrast is how much Sol DOESN'T like religion#He's got some sarcastic lines about God and stuff even pre-Gearification. Wonder what the story with that is...#Anyway Ky only expressing his religion in private moments is interesting to me too#I can't think of an instance where he ever forced it on someone else or tried to explain something as happening just because God willed it#He's smart and logical and yet he still has this spiritual component...#Man is his character is complex. Studying this blond kid under a microscope...

I’m rewatching the consent scene because I love it so much, it’s rare to see such a dedicated and clear consent scene: first checking whether Team’s drunk, whether he’s even capable of consenting and answering questions, and then asking further questions - I truly love to see it. But the more I watch, I start to feel like it also speaks to some insight about Win.
Was it sexy? Of course it was, there’s nothing sexier than consent, making sure all parties are aware and present in the moment, and confirming desire and how you want to express it. Was it necessary? Yes, it always is. But looking further unnecessarily so it also really got me thinking about the scene earlier between Win and Dean.
We saw Win say he’s never had anything that was truly his, it was either given to him (from his older brother) or he had to give it away (to his younger brother). He’s never had anything to care about before. He’s never really had control over those things either, it’s just the assumed “natural” middle child role. He learnt that nothing was truly his and nothing could stay with him forever so he just lets those things happen until everything become unimportant, nothing was interesting enough to care about because it wouldn’t stay his.
And then we see him facing something (both the situation and person) he’s finally interested in, something he wants for himself (he’s never had before). He’s begun to let something become important to him whether he realises or not. Something - a situation and a person - that requires care.
So first he makes sure they both have choice and control in the situation, that they’re both aware of what’s happening and with who, and capable of deciding things. Nothing is taken as a given or assumed, he needs consent.
Second, he makes sure that this situation is his, that this moment with Team belongs to him. He makes sure that he’s not receiving the feelings, passion (maybe body and heart even) that belong to someone else (an existing partner/SO). He makes sure he’s not giving away the meaning of it (if Team was drunk/not aware of the situation or who he’s with). He’s not giving away the power of the moment over to alcohol or the memory of it over to a drunken mistake because this is something and someone that’s important. This moment is theirs, together. A moment that can be his. Maybe something and someone that could finally stay with him.

I feel so crazy about that last episode I knew literally in my soul that the lich would appear eventually and be named the last scholar of golb. Throws up everywherr
#i canttt do this. i love betty and simon so much this new view on their dynamic makes me feel crazy#its undoubtedly like a strange power dynamic that simon is unaware of (heees kind of dumb but not a bad person by any means) that drives-#-betty to act how she does with him at first. like her perfect idolized interaction with a author she loves dearly#and for her to put aside her life like that for him in this manic sort of perfect scenario shes so enthralled by#gah i live them so much. simon being unaware of this and it damaging their relationship in the future unknowingly#she gives so much man. not to say simon doesn't i think hes just as great a lover as betty wanted but betty has this endlessness to her-#-devoting her time and her life and her dreams to this perfect world she gets to live in now#i do think she relaxes with it further into their relationship when she feels less like she has to be cool or prove herself to someone she-#-idolizes. and that they get better and closer and more equal (i say theyre never truly equal considering it revolves around simons whims)-#betty really learns to love for that period of their life. for however long it takes them to get to 'fianceès' its really their perfect life#and then everything happens. the crown. the portal. the war. the world ending. ice king. betty in ooo. and its all ruined again and she cant#acess simon so he is again returned to this state of a forbidden person she desperately chases and gives up her life for. she regresses to-#-when their dynamic was unknown woman and author she loves dearly appearing before her eyes#and that unnatainable aspect is what drives her insane. she cant do anything this time. he doesnt even know who *he* is. its hopeless#her trying to date ice king and freaking out about it because this perfect picture is gone and she doesnt /like/ him like this#agh. bety. siom#fionna and cake spoilers#fionna and cake#talking2myself

Actually, it's interesting to think about the sheer amount of footage that Jay never shows us. I'm rewatching Season One again, and Entry #3 caught my eye because Jay says he cut together about 2.5 Minutes worth of clips that he pulled from around 12 different tapes.
Depending on what kind of tape Alex's camera used, a single tape could hold anywhere from 1 to like 5 hours worth of footage -- at Minimum Jay watched 12 hours worth of footage just to make that video where he showed us like 0.002% of it.
I wouldn't go so far as to suggest that Jay was deliberate about framing Alex in any particular light when he started the channel, but it is interesting to think about the footage he decided wasn't interesting or worth sharing, and what kind of story a different cut would have told

vash w this hairstyle is literally so cute.. .. wolfwood matchies or smt T__T
#litearlly dont talk 2 me i saw the knives panel again and smashed everuthing inmy room and set myself on fire#am i wrong 4 thinking that he shouldve had a little more time.am i wrong for thinking this guy.having lived in terrible fear#his whole life 4 what he thought could happen 2 him. to his brother. DID happen 2 his sister#should be able 2 experience some happiness and comfort for once#like yeah the guy killed hundreds of thousands SUREE ok.AND??? let the guy breathe a little#BAHAHA no i think i do still agree w the ultimate ending of him using the last of his energy 2 generate that apple tree#its sweet and i do like the sentiment it was just. Too.soon after it was literally right after#and im like coughing and hacking and wishing.that he and vash couldve spent those few months living (somewhat) peacefully#and secluded.before everything that happened#i guess there is a bittersweet tinge to knives dying before vash woke up / could say gbye but idk.i just grieve 4 this guy#even if a clean redemption isnt like#feasible in a sense U KNOW!!!!!!! but then again i dont think. satisfying endings have to be clean cut and perfect#like he doesnt have to be redeemed i think. not everyone needs Redemption as it exists in its current form#&& i do think that even after all he did.comma.he wasnt entirely wrong?like you cant rly blame him 4 rejecting coexistence#based on the way plants have historically been treated (assuming he also telepathized with exploited plants after the great fall)#though not to say that his decisions/methodology is right ykwim#and i know yeaa yeaa there was a lot of hypocrisy in how he used the other plants 2 amass power#ok this is literally getting too convoluted there r so many conditional aspects to this but long story short i do thnk he deserved.#a little something at the end;______; even if just 4 me to see art of them together post-final arc .#< me dragging my knuckles in the sand w open wounds or smth#sry vash post turned into knives sadblogging EHAHEHA but its like the nature of this^ guys life anyways LMAO#trigun spoilers#trigun maximum#trigun#vash

Where do you shop for your clothes? Are there any particular brands you look out for?
OH SO- this is kinda gonna be a frustrating answer.
i shop almost exclusively at this re-sale/second chance/excess store that puts together the unsold clothing from places like free-people and anthropology and the indy brands that they carry. It's INCREDIBLY local to my stretch of the woods- it's called retail 101 in naugatuck connecticut. i got a 350$ dress new with tags for 30$ and that was the most expensive clothing item listed in the store. it's definitely worthwhile to make the drive. it's about an hour for me, at least two if you're in nyc.
shopping there helps me feel better about getting clothes- because they're generally a lot bit better quality than like h and m or primark (which is what i can reasonably afford). it's also not directly supporting like- all those big businesses and keeps unsold clothes out of the landfill ect. It's helped me get some very very nice clothing for very cheap. it's a very overstimulating experience because it's basically just a football field sized warehouse filled with clothing.
i greatly recommend it if you're overly small or overly large because their greatest selection is in the Xs and Xl range like- I think i saw a size 14 jeans that were originally 400$ on sale for 14$ so- if you're more middle sized it definitely requires some hunting.
but tbh i also hit up the target clearance section for most of my jeans because they have really reasonable sales. i got my favorite pair of ripped jeans there for 6.50$. Target just for some reason happens to fit me pretty reliably- which is honestly rare because i have a 28 inch waist but a 40 inch booty.

Why do we not like Michael Italiano?
For the restrictive diets, which agreed is quite common place in F1. For the monetisation of Daniel. For the breach of privacy by revealing medical information to journalists and constantly talking away on podcasts. But most importantly, for the complete mismanagement of Daniel’s well-being in 2022

i plan on staying single until i'm at least 30. tubal ligation has many dangerous side effects like post tubal ligation syndrome that according to some statistics affects even like 30 percent of women who undergo it and apparently is more prevalent in younger ppl and well, i'm in my early 20s but i've seen also posts from women in their late 30s who suffer from it (so maybe it's not dependent on age of patients but it's just once again medical misogyny??). i can' even research these things bc i get sick and disgusted after seeing words related to female r*productive system

considering taking a major break from everything rn, I've been talking about my fic for a while and my mental health has just been so shit lately that I haven't been able to work on it at all. I think I'm going to take a break from tumblr altogether and revisit this later
#I just need to focus on some things in my personal life#and after this fic (which will be posted eventually- I promise...I'd just rather it be good than be rushed)#I think I'm going to have to make some major decisions about tumblr and social media as a whole#my depression has been dogshit so that's kind of why I've been so absent lately#I'm not looking for sympathy or anything I'm very seriously considering leaving for good so.....yeah#that also means deleting discord and just getting rid of fandom from my life in terms of the social media aspect#I'll still be on ao3 and I'll still write but tumblr and social media as a whole causes me way too much anxiety#anyway if you're looking for an update on push coda...if I find the motivation sooner rather than later it will be up in november#but right now the plan is to step away and come back to it in december when I'm hopefully doing a little better and can think more clearly#there's just too much going on rn between finding a new therapist and applying to uni that I haven't been able to focus#so that's pretty much all I have to say#if I dissapear completely that just means I've deleted tumblr (as in the app...my blog isn't going anywhere)#I'll pop back up from the dead whenever I finish my fic and then after that I'll probably just switch to being on ao3 only#I think it's about time I left tumblr behind sadly#if this is just my depression talking then I'll delete this and pretend nothing ever happened#right now I just need time away from it all to really think about everything#I'm not going to do anything impulsive#but right now it is looking like this is a change I need to make in my life#har rambles
