#to his detriment....

[carlyraejepsans]

listen. i know it sounds fucking insane coming from me but if you haven't already i need you to log onto twitter and vote for sans in the finals of the tumblr sexyman poll

sure reigensweep is hilarious. but this is more than that. this is SO much more than that i need you to see my vision. twink supreme was funny. it was the introduction. dilf supreme solidified it, but now? this meme can't physically keep going forever. it's not a matter of "if" he loses it's matter of WHEN. specifically, when it'd be funnier. and i NEED YOU to imagine how fucking HYSTERICAL it would be if reigen lost the only competition he actually had the credentials for TO SANS FUCKING UNDERTALE.

it's the perfect 3 arc structure to the perfect joke. i need you to imagine a world where that happens. i need you to imagine the memes. the art people would make. the fanart *I* could make. I'm begging you to see the bigger picture. don't let reigensweep run itself into oblivion. it could go down today, but it would go down in HISTORY. don't let the perfect setup be destroyed by commitment to the bit.

#also i promised twitter i would draw sexy sans so if this didn't convince you maybe me inflicting myself psychic trauma will incentive you #undertale #there are less than 7h less. reigen is winning by a 5% margin. WE CAN DO THIS. #i need you to understand that i am destroying over a year of my personal work of returning sans to his someguy origins #this is actively detrimental to my mission. but it's MORE IMPORTANT. IT'S TAKES THE HIGHER PRIORITY #sans #SANSSWEEP

kinda has me creasing how wilson is just casually on the world’s slowest treadmill for the entirety of this scene. he’s like a hamster

#house’s subconscious knows the Truth #he’s just a little creature… a critter even #unironically though #this is lowkey a goated metaphor for their relationship #wilson continuously ‘helping’ house in seemingly demeaning ways that make himself appear pathetic #when in reality the only benefit to those indulgences is the feeding of his own complexes #whilst being actively detrimental to house in many cases (see the next episode & the whole icarus thing) #idk I’m just yapping atp #house md #greg house #gregory house #hilson #james wilson #hatecrimes md #house/wilson

zac’s “less is more” approach to comedy is always golden but it is working PERFECTLY for colin provolone from both a comedic and dramatic standpoint. everyone else I kinda get the vibe of but colin is Just Some Guy which is driving both me and raphaniel up the fucking WALL.

#it’s VERY funny but Colin what the FUCK is your deal what HAPPENED TO YOU #he’s just some guy we know nothing about his past but we KNOW he has Some Kind Of Past #what kind of past? what happened? we don’t knowwwww #and the whole story treats him as Just Some Guy which is so funny but also like. what the fuck! #but my actual point is like #I love that zac can just stay on the sidelines without anyone really thinking about it #like he doesn’t take up scenes very much #which is cool but sometimes works to his character’s detriment #but here? perfect. #much easier to keep Colin as Just Some Fucking Guy when he barely talks #anyway. zac oyama is very talented that is all. #dimension 20 #the ravening war #colin provolone #d20 spoilers #zac oyama #bishop raphaniel charlock

domestic bloodweave scenario in which as gale ages he becomes obsessed with finding magical ways to extend his lifespan, cripplingly afraid of becoming obsolete in astarion’s immortal eyes

#to the detriment of their relationship perhaps #I mean you know gale! he can’t be a normal amount of obsessed with something! #nights where he falls asleep over his books and Astarion has to drag him to bed #bloodweave #bg3 #astarion #gale #mine

greg said actually i wanna take YOU out and I'M gonna pay for it

#also it's so cute how he says 'visited' instead of just 'been to' like you can tell he learned how to talk from tv #tomgreg #greg hirsch #which side are you on? #fr why is this part not talked about much beyond the Thor Loves Poptarts-ification of greg loving cpk #tom says my gf is out. so let's go out to dinner. the moment greg understands that it's a serious proposal he's SO excited #and it's clearly NOT for any notion of fine dining. he doesn't ask tom 'where are we going' #no. he wants to go out with TOM!! he has a restaurant in mind that's a treat for him and he's excited to share that with tom #i think he is feeling a tiny bit snubbed at the end by the way tom refuses to let greg have the upper hand #like tom asked him out and greg literally asked him out right back. and rather than be excited tom is like no I'M doing the asking out!! lo #but yknow ultimately tom has his own thing that he already really wanted to share with greg #he IS delighted that greg has unrefined tastes bc it means he gets to treat him. he gets to be the reason for greg's awe #also he just thinks it's cute imo #and greg took to it as much as one can when they've already been more or less forcefed (much like the ortolan he eats lol) #anyway. tom's need to feel in control is his detriment bc greg wanted to treat him to some cajun chicken linguine and then fuck him silly #mine

slay the princess swap aus are precious things to me cuz it's where i get blessed to see how the long quiet will be able to hold his voices and say his thoughts on them with the same tenderness and care the shifting mound shows to her vessels in game

#slay the princess #slay the princess spoilers #stp spoilers #just imagine please for example the specter #after doing her thing in this swap au route chapters #she approaches this entity in the long quiet #holding her killer in an embrace she cannot really comprehend is one #until maybe much later because off all the feathers and wings and claws surrounding them #tlq while holding the voice of the cold says his line #this fragment is both cold and calmness. he has mastered himself and veiled the heart he is missing #he seeks that which he cannot have even to his own detriment #but your understanding has managed to touch him despite his apathy #he will become my tenacity and determination #do not mourn him. for you have finally brought him home

something something something loki's love for sylvie more appropriately manifesting as platonic rather than romantic because his love for her is a lesson in healing--particularly the inner child that still holds resentment towards a lying, unaffectionate father. loki's heart breaks for sylvie because it breaks for him too. he sees her and views the version of himself that is still angry and deeply, deeply wounded. his affection stems from the empathy of understanding what it is to have had a narrative for their life controlled/manipulated for them. in their sameness, loki offers the compassion he wishes he would've gotten or would've been able to receive. and because to turn back on her would be to turn back on himself. loki allows himself to be something other than the trickster god he made himself out to be in a desperate plea at taking back control. it is mobius that tells him he can be other than what he was and offers him another mode of survival, all of it a lesson in love. sylvie teaches loki radical self-love, how to show up for himself and others, and mobius is the conduit through which loki practices this healthier way of loving.

#IS HOW THEY SHOULD WRITE IT BUT NEVER WILL GAHHHHHHHH #they shoulda let me be in the writers room cause I would've nullified the draft where they do selfcest #and for all the ppl in the back saying but isnt it the most loki thing to do? to fall for himself bc hes just that narcissistic #and i would argue that that is actually to the detriment of his character arc #to insinuate the only person he can ever devote himself to is him. they prob thought they were clever with sylki but it feels reductive #also. has somebody already said this? #like to me sylki is a metaphor for loki being able to love himself and others #whereas lokius should be the true ship bc loki permits himself to be challenged by mobius in a way that is not received as a threat to him #mobius is his first real friend and seeing them both evolve to care for one another is just ugh #but also i feel like tom's acting is providing all of the chemistry for the both of them in that ship where lokius feels more natural #but anywho #lokius #sylki #loki #loki laufeyson #mobius m mobius #mobius mcu #disney #mcu #mcu loki #tom hiddleston #owen wilson

It's so weird that in angel s5e2 they do a little flashback to Spike's blaze of glory moment in the last episode of Buffy... but they leave out Buffy saying "I love you". It's such a blatant omission, the ONLY omission from that scene, that it feels totally deliberate and kind of dishonest. Considering a lot of the Spike and Angel moments in S5 revolve around their jealousy and rivalry towards each other, and a LOT of that is to do with Buffy like... Why would you leave it out? It's a pretty big moment for Spike's character in general.

As far as I recall they don't even mention it, they just mention the fact that Spike and Buffy have had a lot of sex compared to bangel's ONE disastrous time (that they remember) but it does kind of cheapen it for Spike. A big motivation for him not leaving LA could have been him not wanting to hold Buffy to her words, since he clearly doesn't believe that she loves him (even though she does, as per Whedon). He presumably thinks she only said that to make him feel better in his final moments, because she wouldn't have to actually follow through on her words. Which is sad. But it makes much more sense as a motivation than the weird 'it cheapens my moment of glory' excuse like since when does spike give a shit about that

#spuffy #idk missed opportunity for sure. maybe it's brought up later in the season? I can't remember rn #but they do kind of shunt spike's complexity and make his character all about angel's feelings #though don't get me wrong i LOVE their fight over the cup #i love the symbolism of spike being able to hold the cross while angel can't. #spike pointing out that he fought for his soul while angel had to be forced to change is sooooo cathartic #because that's the thing about angel is he's not inherently a good person. he has to continually fight to be better #he's the faith to spike's buffy #btvs thoughts #btvs #anyway their continued insistence that buffy and angel are soulmates that transcend any other relationships #is rly detrimental to both buffy and angel as characters imo. as well as any other relationships they might have #cordelia and spike who actually put in the work to get to know them as people are automatically relegated to second fiddle #dont get me wrong i love bangel for the angst but i dont buy that buffy will always be in love w the same guy she barely knew at age 16

Ganondorf with Alexander the Great Syndrome, where he’s dangerously clever and fantastic at military strategy, intrigue, adapting to setbacks, and inspiring people under him to action through his energizing charisma, which along with the necessary hubris from believing he is meant to rule makes him extremely effective at the “taking things over” part of attempted world domination.

However, despite his belief he is naturally inclined to lead and therefore is the best possible person to control everything, he is also absolute dogshit at actually administering his holdings and doing the basic day-to-day business required to maintain more permanent control over the territories he invades. Unless he’s motivated to stay put and hold course by a powerful grudge, he’s often moving on to the next, more exciting challenge once he’s finished his business in a location, which often involves physically leaving and abandoning whichever poor patsies he’s appointed to look after things in his absence to fend for themselves. This is why all the kingdoms he’s ever built according to his personal vision of how the world ought to be collapse into dust immediately after he dies.

Getting this man to do paperwork will get you the same response as trying to force him to chew broken glass, which is why he will always be defeated unless he eventually develops the good sense to appoint either a whole cabinet or a single reasonably competent secretary to do all the boring stuff for him.

#legend of zelda #loz thoughts #ganondorf #ganon #tbh this is one of the reasons i love pairing him with ghirahim #ghirahim may love a good scrap but he also seems like he’d also love being helpful with menial bureaucratic tasks #he’s a little like pink diamond #much cleverer and more manipulative and strategic than he looks #(and is very good at hiding his competence when it’s to his advantage) #and is an extremely dangerous enemy to cross #but also possesses a sense of whimsy that often functions to his detriment unless he’s got someone more disciplined to reign him in

Is it true that they made Dean throw away the amulet in Dark Side of The Moon (my old enemy) because Jensen got sick of it smacking him in the face during action scenes and it just so happened to be a good metaphor for the disintegration of their relationship or is that just misinformation?

Cause if that's true that bitch should of stuck it out I don't even care he should have endured it for 15 years. Sure it's annoying but what about Sam. What about me. Wear the amulet or die trying I'm sorry that's just how its got to be. Sam and Dean can have their fights and drama - but watching Dean toss that amulet away was an attack on me personally.

#spn 5x16 #spn #supernatural #sam winchester #dean winchester #or at least like... idk have him tie it on the review mirror or something #write it out in a way that is less detrimental to me in particular #like i knew it felt like an overreaction from dean #couldnt he just like put it in his pocket or something #idk #this episode is just really one that makes me want to tear my heart out

thinking about hades pulling hermes aside one evening to tell him he cannot use nico as a distraction to pull a bank heist and hermes is just pouting "but he likes it!!" pointing at lil toddler nico on the nearby table loudly counting and stacking cash

#nico is his angel baby boy #bianca is the asshole who snitched on them lol (she was upset because he took nico when she was gonna play dress up with him) #(she also will ALWAYS snitch on hermes to his great detriment because terrorizing him is one of her hobbies) #hermes (pjo) #nico di angelo #hades (pjo) #happy talks pjo

@ everyone who is upset about characters being morally flawed. do you not understand what drives the narrative

#like fuck dude can you stop shitting on gale for being arrogant that is literally the trait he has to temper in his character arc #and astarion is meant to be bitter. it is a huge shift for him to prioritize 7000 lives and be a hero where no one was to him #halsin is so afraid of anyone else ever being hurt like he was that he will protect them to his detriment #also some characters are just bad and its still okay to like them. they're fictional. and also it gives them necessary complexity #anyway its about FLAVOR #bg3 #astarion #gale of waterdeep #halsin

HERE IT IS. my second favorite snw tweet

#like its WILD. i don’t think i’ve ever seen such a clear cut case where like. #the writers desperately obviously want to make it so so queer #but the studio is doing SOMETHING that’s making it the most loudly in-your-face aggressively straight trek thats ever existed #(at least that ive seen) #to the point it’s detrimental to everything else abt the show #f: star trek #trek: shows #trek: snw #t.txt #I WONT COMPLAIN ANYMORE I PROMISE LMAO. i do like the show but ive taken a break from watching it #i need more time to recover between episodes #also my first favorite snw tweet is saying basically the same thing i said here but they had a mark.06 icon. hi pot its the kettle

@melancoliefatale | prev

meeting the vampire in this state, which was actually unexpected for Antoine when he was conducting his own business and carrying out these magical experiments with a view to the building being abandoned. so seeing the oldest and most powerful vampire sitting on the ground with his back to the wall and holding his wound…he was almost shocked but Antoine quickly regained his composure even if the other didn’t want his help even when his hand was slapped. “You’re not going to drink my blood…I have other ways than let you biting me.” he sighs softly as he stays in a distant where the other could be more comfortable with his presence. but his vision hardens considerably as he sees how the bleeding continued and stained the vampire’s white hand with vermilion liquid. “I have medical materials with me including bandages that help hide the smell of your blood and something to do an emergency blood transfusion…but if you don’t want my blood at least let me stop your bleeding. Either you attract other creatures of the night, begin to feel an urgent thirst, or simply pass out.”

He growled in response to Antoine's initial comment. Not drink his blood, as if the man hadn't practically offered. That was blood on his hands, wasn't it?

Medical materials. Medicine. He stopped trying to search his coat pockets. Joseph's lips curled back as he let out a vicious hiss as he held his left hand defensively to his side now. "Actual bandages, or another trick?" he shot back. "Don't think this is my first run through.

"Why should I trust you over any other blood-sucking, parasitical, power-hungry vampire?" His side bled more as he growled. Fresh red covered the charred flesh and painful glowing veins of his injured hand.

Lower, "Don't pretend our kind gets along for anything other than petty bureaucratic business. Or as if I haven't encountered you before trying to chase me out of what home I have left. If not outright wanting to kill me because my way of eating is so much lower than yours."

His gaze narrowed. Through gritted teeth, "What reason would you have not to kill an old leech and take what's left? Why should I trust you haven't tainted everything?"
