When men tell me of the cruelty of women, I think that no woman can be really cruel because no man is capable of suffering. A woman, if she is thrown aside, does suffer.

Man, Rhysand was never the dreamer in that god awful series. It was always Tamlin
Tamlin is the one who has always done everything he can do to stop injustice. Protecting mortals, always accepting fae from other court in his land, trying his damnedest to find a way to break the curse instead of stealing a mortal. He has always dreamed of a safer and more just world and has always tried to make that come true. Even after loosing so much he always did whats right and true in the end.
but hes doomed by the narrative. His good deeds and genuine soul over shadowed by the biases of the narrator. Hes the age old tragedy of wanting to be the best he can and do the best he can.

I don't normally watch YouTube analysis videos about tcoaal because most of them are, quite honestly, trashy and superficial but I just watched one and
From all the bs I've heard about the game and/or the siblings, this is the one (i'm paraphrasing):
"Ashley doesn't have self-worth issues, she doesn't struggle with self-image. She just pretends in order to manipulate Andrew with that."
BOY, DID WE PLAY THE SAME GAME???? Literally all the complicated shit between Andrew and Ashley starts because of her insecurities and fears (there's stuff regarding Andrew but you know what I mean)
What about the lady from 302 and the outcome????
I literally had to pause the video when I heard that. More reasons why I only consume stuff about tcoaal on Tumblr.

love (ironically) how we went from seeing shockwave immobilized going to ghost headquarters to being mind controlled in the middle of nowhere and he just casually drops that croft betrayed him so ig they made a deal or whatever but for what?? earthspark writers we need the offscreen stuff to be explained better sometimes, specially with the decepticons characters

DINLUKE || WAVES
“Are you a jedi?”
“I am”
“I need your help... they took the child.”
are you also disappointed with what's happened in season 3 Mando? Here is my little fix it edit - lets all just pretend this is the direction the show went in ??
I started this project at the end of last year but never had time to work on it, my pain over season 3 mando kicked my butt into action
interpret the edit however you’d like! I tried to build a small collection of DinLuke interactions & moments which perhaps give ground to a bigger picture that isn’t always shown on screen.
anyway- if you want to see more DinLuke edits please take a look at my channel! I currently have 5 DinLuke videos up, with over 40 handmade masks between them. DON’T MISS OUT!

And yet she was now sick and sore, almost beside herself with the agony of the wound, because this man whom she had been able to throw aside from her heart had also been able so to throw her aside.

wwdits spoilers ahead, just watched exit interview and are u kidding me. all of that. for nothing. its like they realised "oh shit, we finally made guillermo a vampire so what else can we do now? guess we'll make him human again." and the fact that after everything, the 13 years of being a familiar, the obsession with becoming a vampire, KNOWING what he would have to do to survive as one, THE DRINKING HUMAN BLOOD AND GOING FULL VAMPIRE AND BEING THE HAPPIEST AND MOST POWERFUL HES EVER BEEN, guillermo just then decided he would rather be human?? what even happens now? hes not a familiar, hes not a vampire, hes not even really their friend, so where does guillermo go from here??

tag game~
tagged by the amazing @coquelicoq to list 5 topics i can talk on for an hour without preparing any material! thanksss <3 <3
this is honestly a really difficult one for me cos as much as i love to ramble, the prospect of having to do a talk for an hour about anything would a) make me INCREDIBLY anxious and 2) i would promptly forget everything i know about said subject literally the second i have to do the talk pfft.... wait... the prompt doesnt say i have to do the talk in front of people so hmm... maybe i'd be ok lol
anyway topics time lol (these aren't really in any order btw just writing them as i think of them)!
art history ofc... i could equally talk as much about art i love as much as art i HATE lol (duchamp's goddamn toilet fountain you're going fucking DOWN bitch)... can't promise my hour speech won't just be a list of fun art-y facts lol (like uh in medieval paintings that used gold leaf, artists would put down this red gesso/glue like mixture (called something like boll?) because the red gave the gold a warmer glow than just sticking it onto the plain wooden panel lol) or that it won't be me massively misremembering parts of my degree pfft...
history of the british monarchy lol! ok so i may not currently like the monarchy, but i am a MASSIVE fan of the history of the royals lol... especially the tudor era! a lot of my talk would be me trying to remember the order of the monarchs from william the conqueror until now (which would mean me singing the horrible histories monarchy song lol sorry not sorry)... i would also spend the time being like 'yeh so this one had allegations of being gay, as did this one, and THIS one had several male favourites who he was definitely in relationships with' lol
kpop lol... not really sure what i would talk about? maybe specific groups (exo would be in contention for sure, they have a very interesting history tbh), or just the wider cultural phenomenon and history of kpop? or just like talk about niche kpop groups that basically no one remembers pfft (like that group that jackie chan made lol! already mentioned it on my kpop haveyouheard blog but people in the notes were like 'wait jackie chan did WHAT???' lol...) like i definitely don't know a lot of stuff, but i know more than the average joe so like... it might be fun idk??
queer films lol... i'd also say films in general, but i definitely feel like i have more niche and interesting knowledge specifically of queer films so.... i DEFINITELY could talk for well over an hour about that lol! this would also definitely include me complaining about films like call me by your name and blue is the warmest colour lol... (i actually was speaking to myself the other day about both films and how perceptions of both have changed SO much over the years since they came out lol...) but i'd mainly want to talk about the amazing queer films i've watched over the years!!... i'd also throw in some talk of asian queer media here since i've been watching it for literally 6 or so years at this point lol...
back to history, this time ancient egypt! returning to my childhood roots with this one lol i know a lot of random things about ancient egypt that i could potentially string into an hour long talk? actually recently went to an exhibition at the place where they film downton abbey (it's not called that btw lol) where it had a whole thing about the discovery of tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 which had a lot of interesting info tbh! dont come to this talk if u dont want to hear me talk about all the incest that went on in ancient egyptian royalty pfft... (like...historians believe that tut's mother was also his aunt, and his sister was also his wife, which kinda explain why none of their children survived... royals of all eras really were like 'we have to intermarry to keep the bloodline pure' and it's like (breaking bad bald guy meme) jesse NO that's what's KILLING you!!!!!!!!!!)
for most of these i'd basically say something and then immediately be like 'don't fact check me on that though' because chances are i remembered the thing wrong pfft...
tagging (no pressure to do it ofc!): @abnerkrill @asoftspotforangels @sylvasa @dollopheadsandclotpoles @zelvuska @micamicster & whoever else wants to do it!!
