when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes

OR: what were we supposed to take away from episode 4 if not ‘bucky is a war widow’

#masters of the air #motaedit #hbowaredit #bucky egan #john egan #clegan #like it's genuinely a 1:1 parallel and i'm NOT supposed to read bucky in ep4 as a grieving widow??? #this kind of also turned into a rumination on how willfully optimistic bucky is that they'll both make it through the war #(he has no other choice. his heart couldn't take another—) #hence the titular smoke getting in his eyes. you understand #he's blinded by love and then by rage. and i adore him #this ended up being more of a video essay than an amv so i hope people enjoy it!! #i had a really good time making it and i'm really proud :') #particularly the sequence of him seeing the bomb in london -> seeing the bomb in germany -> the sunset in algiers #also clearly continuing my mission of making mota amvs to big band / jazz :))) #ANYWAY. #kbsd.amv

Jiao Liqiao is wild btw. I love the way she smiles.

#not sure if i hate the way she was smelling up di feisheng’s clothes but hey it’s whatever #let her do what she wants #i support women with hobbies #if she wants to talk to herself and be possessive of some guy that's her choice <3 #Mysterious Lotus Casebook #that she's giving out this energy from her introduction is wonderful #gojo fangirl stereotype except her heart eyes and very clearly not completely mentally present. she will kill multiple people i fear #good for her good for her nothing wrong with that

rewatching S6 in bits and pieces for current fic and ahhhhhhhhhh but the whole Jack, Diana, Mosley and Lizzie final dinner is so *viscerally* fucking satisfying on every sensory and intellectual and emotional level of consumption.

#every single movement facial expression breath flick of an eye the choice of 'mosley' not 'mr mosley' #the way mosley says 'lizzie' for the first time #jack's buildup and his mad fucking innuendo just before diana and oswald show #particularly how every drink is taken and by whom and when #lizzie constantly holding herself back the entire time from Saying Something all these flinches and half-breaths #insane #INSANE #as much as the end of S3 is roaringly wrenchingly furiously emotionally good #this dinner is something else #this whole episode is pretty much something else though fffffffffffff #jack's patronising constant reference to tommy as if he's a much younger man/boy when you look at these two guys and jack looks younger?? #by design i am sure #in the scene with the tie before the dinner.the way tommy's face says one thing while facing away from lizzie #then he puts on that mask as he turns to face her and you can SEE HIM DO THAT jesus #it would a writing exercise and a half to actually try to capture that scene in writing and work out what needs to be said/described #to carry the same effect because @coffeeatnight23 -> this scene is totally Tommy ripping his own heart out then eating it with relish :) #it *is* the saddest thing but also a fucking *reclamation* of something that tommy hasn't had since his suicide attempt. there's lots of #small reclamations of self that happen in post-Ruby S6 i seem to recall. despite flicks old trauma/foggy memory wandering also this- #-sort of structural shift/acceptance he is who he is and that is how he has agency (not solely money?) #anyway it's not triumph but there is *something* that i haven't found the word for yet #acceptance is one word but there's something more vicarious and dark in it that acceptance doesn't connote

Just found out that in the Netflix ATLA, during his Agni Kai with his father, Zuko…fights back. He fights back. They just couldn’t resist having their cool little action sequence so they have him. Fight. Back.

The original Agni Kai scene is fucking heartbreaking to watch especially as an adult because it’s so clear that Zuko is just a boy, a boy so different from yet so devoted to his cruel and abusive father that he falls onto his knees and BEGS not to have to fight him. He’s not violent, he’s not angry, he’s a boy trying desperately to get approval and love from a man who probably isn’t capable of either. It’s one of the greatest Zuko scenes in the entire show because it so beautifully and heartbreaking tells the audience—WHO ISNT EVEN ROOTING FOR ZUKO YET—“he’s not like his father. He is not your enemy”

BUT NO LETS JUST COMPLETELY THROW THAT IN THE GARBAGE BECAUSE OOOO COOL FIGHT SCENE

FLAMING HAMMER EXPLOSIONS UPON THE NETFLIX EXECS FOR ONE MILLION YEARS

#I CANT BELIEVE ANYONE CAN SERIOUSLY WATCH THIS AND EVEN CALL IT ‘OK’ #fr if watching it inspired you to go back and watch the original for the first time good for you you’re exempt from what I’m about to say #ARE YOU PEOPLE FUCKING STUPID????? #atla #I AM ONLY THIS MAD ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I JUST WATCHED THAT EP OF THE ORIGINAL #AND CRIED MY EYES OUT #but like. how are we meant to root for Zuko if he acts just like his father #it’s so clear in the original that he’s not like him. they give us a REAL villain in zhao early on #so we understand that Zuko isn’t the bad guy #but how is that message supposed to stay with us if Zuko acts now and has always acted just like his father??? #no we NEEDED Zuko not to fight back because we needed to see him make a choice his father would not have #we needed to see that he was abused and disfigured for the sole crime of being compassionate and soft hearted #IM GOING TO KILL SOMEONE #Netflix atla #NETFLIX WHEN I CATCH YOU NETFLIX

Same anon again- hearing your reasoning helps a lot, thank you. It helps to understand its a (unfortunately for bramblestar, funny) critique of a personality trait rather then connecting intelligence to morals. Thank you for explaining your thought process and for being civil about it < 3

No problem!! I'm glad it helped!

#This is why kindness is super important #90% of the time when I get a concern like this it's legitimate and just meeting it with good faith is the easy solution #If you keep an eye on Stumptail and Billystorm you'll see my intention to very much make sure most unintelligent characters are good people #And for cats like Tangleburr who are unintelligent but also villains it's not the unintelligence that makes her a bad person #Though it is part of her and factors into how she makes her choices. Heart-first. #But the vast majority of my villains are explicitly quite intelligent or JUST average-intelligence. #bone babble

If you don't read any of these, pick the better sounding book to you. TCH 2 probably has an unfair advantage since we've only have 2 chapters of HS and 3 chapters of Guarded, but oh well.

#choices #pixelberry #playchoices #choices polls #tch 2 #the cursed heart 2 #Guarded #guarded choices #hot shot #HS #Prefer Ash to Kieran and Casey #But I really like being nb #Tho the mc in tch2 is kinda annoying #But guarded is pretty good so far #And again #Ash doesn't give me a migraine #Like Kieran does from rolling my eyes constantly

mmm thinking with my stupid brain about how i'd rewrite mountain tim so hard its making me ill

#mountain tim no longer gross JSUT being an older brother to lucy #and generally meant to be a symbol of a golden heart #the lone golden heart of the cold and mean empty wild west #surrounded by the dark and depressing cast of sbr #surrounded by characters like johnny and HP and gyro and diego and ect who SPEW negativity into the world #and Tim meaning to be this pillar of hope and justice despite the cruelty of man and nature #and his final choices being to protect lucy even at the cost of his own life to do whatever he can for her because she is just a child #she should not have to bear the cruel winds of fate if he can be a breaker to the breeze #but in his death he would pass on the torch of his 'golden heart' to her #i have soo many ideas and thoughts bout lucy being 'the heart' of SBR #she is the keeper of the holy corpse heart in my rewrite #as johnny is to the left hand and didi and gyro to the eyes of the corpse #ect ect #but in the sacrificial death of tim bleed onto lucy her place in the world #to shine bright with hope of the good in the world and of the young innocence of a child #I JUST THINK IT SUCKS SO HARD MOUNTAIN TIM MEANT A LOT TO THE NARRATIVE OF SBR JUST TO BE GROSS TO LUCY IN THE END #I CAN FIX HIM IM SORRY #I CAN MAKE HIM WORTH HIS WEIGHT TO THE STROY

I really feel like some of you genuinely think that if all billionaires died tomorrow the world would magically be a better place. Their wealth doesn’t come with a will ensuring it’s redistributed fairly across the planet - it goes to their kin or organizations of their choice. The systems that allowed such vile people to maintain their status will still exist. 4 dead billionaires isn’t this victory you think it is - there’s 4 new billionaires inheriting their wealth and status. Killing every billionaire would just shuffle the pieces and players, it wouldn’t change the game.

#ra speaks #personal #sorry last I’ll post abt this until there’s some closure on the OceanGate issue #but like. ‘why should I care??’ well a dead billionaire is a dead body but a living one can still make choices #and a traumatized living billionaire may be reminded of their mortal humanity enough to see how they live the way we see it #and maybe. just maybe. channel all of that wealth into actual functional good in the world. #i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again #if your solution begins and ends with ‘bad people should die’ you are at best ignorant to how poor of an ethical code that is or at worst #knowingly encouraging the perpetuation of the current system where ‘bad’ is anyone inconvenient to the current authorities #violence does solve some problems! but not one of this scale and systemic magnitude! there is no glorious revolution! #there are only small victories won for by small acts by small people! #is it so wrong to imagine that someone of greater status in the hellmachine of capitalism may be able to win greater victories #should some event reopen their hearts and eyes to the horrors they have created and perpetuated?

Mav crushed it at the scent detection trial, sniffed so many things (including a rabbit in the parking lot) and had beautiful committed alerts for all of his runs. He Q'ed in Open Containers and Open Exterior, and I NQ'ed us in Interior because I got too excited - I'll be more patient at the next one!

It was a really fun Saturday with my faves 💜 cheers to @youngventure and @mongrelization and their perfect dogs.

#dogblr #maverick #scent detection #focused sniffin' #ribbon photos #open has a toy distraction in every component #and mav absolutely found every single one #he made good choices and didnt dq us by stealing the toys #but on the way out of our exterior run he made GIANT heart eyes at the toy and i had to make him sprint past it to avoid a theft #hes such a funny dog #i love him so much

[daylighteclipsed]

YES BITCH

#kingdom hearts #you can’t separate light from darkness #bad feelings from good feelings #there’s no such thing as pure light or pure darkness within people #which is what ymx doesn’t seem to understand #he thinks because people have dark within them that the light within them is false #but that light wouldn’t be light without darkness to define it. like hot and cold #you can’t label specific feelings or people as all good or all bad #and such labels are arbitrary. in the end it’s not what you are but what you do that matters #his big plan almost feels like religious extremism. playing judge jury and executioner #except in his eyes everyone is damned and unworthy of salvation. everyone is impure #and summoning the big kh is like bringing on judgement day #but… the only one who really decides whether you’re worth saving or not - worth any good or not - is yourself #it’s your choice and that’s one of the reasons i really like that ven lets vanitas go here #he respects vanitas’ choice even if he doesn’t agree with it #and it hits especially when you think about how little agency ven has had over his own life #he understands while sora doesn’t #even though they both share this feeling of ‘i never asked for this!’ #idk I’m rambling #i just really like this scene

A few scattered thoughts for the day (all Good Omens related bc i live here now):

A) I think I really want to do more for the GO fic I wrote, even though the reception it got was lukewarm at best because I apparently enjoy making myself suffer with one half of the OTP not remembering the other. BUT I can't settle on the next point in time I want to put the new scene in, so I'm just languishing in Writer Hell. ToT

B) It just struck me that it is super weird that apparently NO ONE in Heaven thought check the security footage of Gabriel leaving? I mean, like IMMEDIATELY, when they couldn't find his memory and realized he was gone. It would have been obvious that he got off the elevator at Earth, though it might have been harder to tell WHERE on Earth he had ended up. He must have actually meant to hit the button to go all the way down to Hell instead, which would have been kind of hilarious, honestly. The part of me wearing a tinfoil hat sort of wants to blame the whole thing on the Metatron. Obviously, he couldn't plan for Gabriel and Beelzebub falling in love, but once it became apparent that Gabriel was not going to play ball anymore, he became a useful pawn for something else that the Metatron wants to get rid of before the second coming (Crowley and Aziraphale's partnership). I mean, really? Of all places, Gabriel just HAPPENS to end up going to Aziraphale? He doesn't even like him! He tried to kill him!! The Metatron never seems surprised or even upset that Gabriel "got away." I think he used Gabriel to get Aziraphale "in trouble" so that he could show up at the last minute and "save" him from the other angels. Maybe. As I said, tinfoil hat. XD

C) I am back on my bullshit for the final 15 and I'm taking you all down with me. After Crowley walks out, Aziraphale turns away from the door to try and contain how upset he is, and when the Metatron comes in, he turns around SO FAST, because for half a second he thinks Crowley came back. And when he sees that it isn't him, he has to turn away to collect himself again. :'))) After I noticed that, it was so clear how badly Aziraphale did not want to go to Heaven. At least, not without Crowley. He's just staring out the window at him, he's choked up when he talks, his face is full of panic and longing. He actually chases after the Metatron for a few steps when he leaves, shaking his head, and nearly throwing the whole deal out. There are still tears in his eyes when he shakes himself out of it and puts on that big fake smile and says "nothing at all."

But he still does it. He still goes. Because he clearly thinks that he has to. And he doesn't even know about the second coming yet, so it's not to prevent that. Is it really just "making a difference"? I mean, he didn't even seem interested until being with Crowley was on the table, so "making a difference" didn't seem to matter that much until he thought they could also be together. Which would make one assume that if Crowley wasn't interested in going, Aziraphale would also lose interest in going, since that was the carrot that allegedly walked him through the door on that totally legit and non-threatening deal.

I DON'T KNOW. EVERYTHING IS SUSPICIOUS. I JUST WANT ANSWERS. T_T

#good omens #good omens 2 #rambles #crowley x aziraphale #look i'm sorry but the more i watch it the less i can believe #that Aziraphale would actually chose Heaven over Crowley #if he had any sort of real choice #there are just too many heart eyes #that and Aziraphale pulling off the magic switch in 1941 and saying 'I got it right the time it mattered' haunts my dreams #He knows how to lie and he's WILLING to lie to save people and he can trick someone WHEN IT MATTERS #i am so normal about them #so so so normal

HOWL YOU ARE KILLING ME HERE.

it’s not fair bc i’m the one emant to cause pain ehre NOT BE THE SUFFERER OF PAIN!!! also the way i was shocked, flabbergasted, bamboozled by the inclusion of tess??? MY HEART.

also idc i’m gonna say it ehre and link it to the part 3 anyway. THE READER AND ELLIE CONFRONTATION ONE IS SO SO GOOD. i’ve seen some people not happy with ellie for her reaction and i just want to say SHE IS VALID!!! READER IS VALID!!!

lets think of everything ellie went through on that journey after leaving jackson. she has been through SO much. and she gets back to jackson, to this actual town, to find the reader there. and the reader is angry? angry for being left in this slice of heaven? for missing out on events that ellie WISHES she could forget? she’s angry and she’s hurting and so is the reader and they’re not understanding each other. they’re not seeing the other’s side of the story.

the first lot of lyrics fit r’s perspective SO WELL in my view too, because to her, ellie hasn’t felt the pain of all those deaths before jackson like she has. especially with tess. it’s not the same. BUT THEN, they also fit so well for ellie, especially in the second half of their journey. I CANT CONTAIN MYSELF WITH THAT SPECIFIC CHOICE. ITS SO INCREDIBLY PERFECT.

#heartpascal says #howl <3 #SOBBING #all eyes on me for reader’s perspective too???? ITS TOO PERFECT. #ITS TOO GOOD #all of the ones for reader are SO SO APT #as always but i just feel especially passionate about the choices for this part #WAR OF HEARTS AND SOON YOULL GET BETTER??? #THE LYRICS FIT TOO WELL AND JUST !!!!!!!!! #also you cannot add cavetown in here and expect me NOT to sob and cry #I AM A CAVETOWN LOVER!!! #HOWL YOU REALLY HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELF WITH THIS ONE #I CANT EVEN PUT INTO WORDS.
