Why does it bother me to be accused of something I know I didn't do? Dunno but here we are feeling like the trash someone said we were.

i really find cesare and lucrezia's intense and destructive relationship so interesting and captivating. their love for each other fed off all the energy from the people who ever loved them, they even pursued substitutes as lovers as they were unable to attain what they truly desired - each other, with cesare taking ursula's love and affection, lucrezia taking paolo and alfonso's innocence, and both of them alienating juan by pushing him away and making him feel lonely and excluded. it's almost like they didn't rest until all of them were dead. their narcissistic and extremely dangerous love led to tragic outcomes, leaving only each other behind.

While waiting for new episode of Mary My Husband I've started with Perfect Marriage Revenge and I gotta say I love it so much. I'm at episode 6 rn.
It gives me the 90s-00s latin-american telenovela vibes in the best way possible. They embraced all the tropes and cliches of the genre and did the absolute maximum with it in the best way possible. Stuff like that are just not made these days and maybe that's the reason why I love it so much.
I've seen mentioned how low budget production it is but I gotta say that I can't really tell. And if they're able to keep up this work with low budget then the crew deserves applause because they're doing perfect job.
The cast is absolutely awesome and they all embraced their characters. Special shout-out to Lee Min-Young as the evil stepmother Lee Jung-Hye, who clearly put her everything into that role and did a great job. What a dedication! Cinderella's stepmother appears as a kind loving lady compared to her.
The main couple have great chemistry and they look great together. Plus points for Sung Hoon (as Seo Do-guk) 's sad puppy eyes whenever Jung Yoo-min (as Han Yi-joo) shut herself off when they have a moment together.
So overall I love it and I can't praise it and recommend it enough.
Only negative thing is the fashion choices of the ML. That's probably tied to the low budget, someone mentioned how they clearly used the money for the actresses' wardrobe and they had nothing left for the male counterparts. Which may be actually true.... I mean we could argue that loose and baggy clothes could be called trendy these days but it just didn't do Sung Hoon any good. The tops were alright sometimes great even but the bottoms.... Even if he wore slim fitted or at least regular trousers it would elevate the look so much. Loose top and slim fit bottom could work really well so I'm really sad for all the baggy trousers lol...
Also the first episode was dragging a bit but it was all worth it and important for the rest.
If you consider watching it I'm saying definitely go for it!!!

It’s time to properly introduce my next character with my regular group: Savryn Elorrenthi d’Phiarlan, or just Sav.
He’s an elf fiend warlock who dropped out of circus training after receiving some horrific, life-changing news that has led him towards a life of piracy on the high seas.
In terms of personality, Sav is an irreverent, hot-headed, flippy little bastard with a deep grudge and a dark secret. I think I’ve shared art of him before, but I finally did a proper full body pic

See the further irony is:
That in using 'Mall Goth Sauron' as the take on Dark Willow over 'misogynist has character randomly killed for LULZ' it also allows for greater accountability on the one hand and for Season 7 to thematically focus on repairing all this damage in the midst of facing an enemy of shadows reliant on lies to further itself. The only way to break the Druj is the absolute Truth in a very Zoroastrian sense. Characters don't get to neatly skip past accountability for their actions, and this would spiral over into further later seasons with the essential reality that in an otherwise lower-level setting this one random girl from California is a Dark Phoenix-tier reality warper and the most powerful person on the planet, or the universe.
And the questions of how that power could and should be employed on the one hand and that Willow is essentially a Doctor Strange type who beats up Gods and Eldritch Abominations for her regular line of work where her counterparts deal with the more 'street level' crises would in turn be the logical conclusion of where the show ends. She doesn't do as much physical fighting for the same reason that Stephen Strange never uses magic to go punch the Hulk in the face, her narrative role is ultimately that of Sorceress Supreme of Earth, with literally nobody in an ancient established war anticipating that this one random ginger from California was and is the new Sorceress Supreme and that if they had had such awareness the realities are that this power would and could have taken worse forms.
Unfortunately for the world, the reality too is that it is a shy computer geek who has a not at all subtle dark side and the usual teenage anxieties and insecurities given the equivalent of being able to reliably actually do things other people might dream of but can never do.
But again as long as Dawn Summers being a good thing is a narrative convention that's established memory magic is a poor choice to show the corrupting effects of reality-warping. It's a case of 'yes as established in canon all of this is true for that one season but then they decided to retcon it, so the fans are not obligated to care about it any more than the canon does about this itself.'
#willow rosenberg#tara maclay#dawn summers#you will never convince me as long as Dawn Summers is a plot device that 'memory magic unforgivable' is anything but bad writing#it was the choice used but there are other equally toxic things that could have been done instead#the basic theme of 'very powerful person decides things for another in an abusive fashion' works just as well without it#Tara's growth arc in refusing to tolerate abuse even from the person who brought her out of her shell can stand perfectly fine#it works even better with a budding Sauron than abruptly deciding 'wholesale memory rewrites good retail unforgivable.'#killing Tara off also denies her any sense of closure or ability to get that closure with the person who does this#the entire element here with the way things went down is bad writing from Point A to point Z#and it's also easily forgotten but Tara wasn't in fact intended to be Willow's love interest#she was replacement Willow for sympathy points#her entire arc as such became Willow X Tara but it was a choice from actor chemistry#So in giving Tara a role besides 'Willow's Girlfriend' it arguably does better by her character#tara x willow#btvs#and yes yes the 'scale changes things' argument is true but only to a point#it's really no different to introduce Dawn than what Willow did#if the retail is wrong so is the wholesale and the decisions to make this that point of no return is an avoidable mistake#plus honestly imagine a Season 7 Tara going 'sweetie no' and a Season 7 Willow dealing with those consequences in real time#equally one can have Tara's cold turkey approach stick exactly as it was#and serve as her role in the time bomb because she's a product of an abusive family and not an infallible moral guide#she rightly sees the problem and at least tries to address it when nobody else did#but unfortunately her solution was pouring gasoline on the fire and then vacating the range where the fire would burn#still further between that and Willow being human enough to resent being told to take that pain and do it going it alone#there'd be plenty of reasons for a surviving Tara and Willow to spend season 7 broken up as is#Tara would not at all be wrong to be wary and not want to touch reformed Sauron with a 400 foot pole#Willow equally would resent someone whose bad advice helped create the problem and who evades any recognition thereof#good old fashioned drama with entirely human motives

Spite and Resentment
Just a little Todoroki family angst I wrote on a whim. GN Reader is Touya’s twin sibling and has a Quirk that’s different from everyone in the family. Slight AU for things like Touya and Shouto each having twins.
…………………………………………………..…..
It is the little undoing of things over time that drives you to resent your father, Pro Hero Endeavor.
First, it’s how he doesn’t see you because your Quirk isn’t what he expects (or because for so long he thought you lacked one at all). Then it’s how he doesn’t see Touya because of what Touya lacks, too. It takes Endeavor forever to stop fighting your brother about Touya really being a boy (even if Endeavor sometimes still forgets), then everything seems fine—mostly—until Touya burns himself. Things change from one day to the next, and you see how it kills Touya inside to have that man reject him.
Your twin slowly withdraws from the world, isolates himself from everyone but you, because Natsuo currently possesses all the emotional availability of a rusted teaspoon and Fuyumi makes excuses for a man who won’t even glance Touya’s way when he returns home from work. Sometimes Endeavor glances at you every time, frustrated and hopeful, but you scorn him. So what if you have a useful Quirk that doesn’t hurt you and can be used offensively in combat? It’s not a perfect combination of his Quirk and mother’s, and the last time he tried to make you train, he had to very awkwardly explain his injuries to an entire team of doctors and nurses without incriminating either of you.
He hasn’t asked since.
Mother…Mother tries to make things better, but it only helps so much. Touya stops speaking to her the moment her belly starts to swell for the fourth and final time. He locks himself in his room, opening the door for you and no one else. You spend most of your time together more often than not. Watching him train until his skin turns red hurts your heart, but you refuse to be the one who crushes his dreams. That will never be an acceptable option, so you work with his ambition instead of against it. You try to push him toward achieving colder temperatures because you have a hunch about his Quirk, but Endeavor’s voice in his head just urges him to go hotter instead. You spend your entire allowance now on bandages and burn salve and wound cleaner so you can patch him up on days your Quirk reservoir is too depleted to utilize the energy stockpiled there for healing. It feels better than pulling away from him knowing he would just continue to go it alone without anyone to help him or tend to him while experiencing far more pain and discomfort.
As soon as Shouto and Shizue are born with their perfectly split dual toned hair, Endeavor wears an expression so smug it prompts you to crush up laxatives in his coffee. He experiences a less than pleasant morning patrol, but it can’t detract from the fact that Mother finally gave him what he desires. Now he has two perfect little masterpieces that he drags to the dojo as soon as they’re old enough to walk, trying to teach them martial arts before their Quirks even come in properly. Part of you feels sympathy for them. The rest of you is too busy hating Endeavor for how his actions—and inactions—make your brother suffer.
Touya loses his voice for an entire six months after his emotional outburst incident with the younger twins. The doctor Mother calls diagnoses him with selective mutism and leaves pamphlets about alternate means of communication. You and he learn sign language and morse code together, and you teach him Esperanto to spite Endeavor, who by now knows better than to say anything…troublesome…to you. He leaves you to your own devices, and for a majority of the time you manage to pass beneath his notice by staying out of his way.
When Endeavor eventually finds out about Touya’s training, he raises a hand to Mother. He never gets a chance to land a blow, though, because you’re right there hissing and spitting like some deranged cat-snake hybrid, lobbing curses at him in English that clearly make his blood boil, but he knows how dangerous your Quirk is even for a child without heavy training, so he storms off with an aggravated huff. Mother whispers something so soft you can’t hear it, but you turn and hug her anyway. Her tears wet your shirt and hair. You don’t care. She’s as much a victim as everyone else.
Father hits her anyway when you aren’t around. You get him back with various small yet effective (and hilarious) inconveniences, yet he still punishes her for Touya’s refusal to give up or be forgotten. Every new welt or bruise on her body makes your blood boil. The first time she comes in with a black eye, your hand twitches in barely restrained rage.
You think sometimes you want to kill him.
You almost do when he grabs Touya by his arm, lifting his shirt up to see swaths of burned skin on his belly and chest, and promptly screams in his face and starts shaking him. It’s as if he’s forgotten himself, forgotten you exist, when he slaps him. He doesn’t even see it coming when you rocket forward and use the remaining energy in your body to punch him in his stomach so hard that he doubles over wheezing. Your head spins from over-exertion. Another hit won’t be possible without you collapsing. You’ve gone too long without replenishing your stores and now you’re paying the price. Touya allows you to lead him down the hall to his room where you collapse across the foot of his bed, nauseous and lightheaded. He lays there next to you, face pressed into your neck as he cries. The headache forming feels worth it considering you know Endeavor won’t dare mess with Touya again today, even if it won’t alleviate Touya’s heartbreak.
Endeavor doesn’t touch Touya in anger after that, but Mother has bruised knees and a busted lip when you see her again, so you dump an entire cup of salt into his omelette when she isn’t looking. You also spit into his coffee and conveniently forget that he needs the non-dairy creamer instead of milk. He chokes on the first bite of breakfast, then chugs his coffee to clear his throat. The look on his face once the wrong taste registers would seem funnier if you didn’t have to send him vaguely threatening expressions once he can breathe again so he won’t blame Mother.
At this point you’re surprised he doesn’t outright hate you or try to kill you himself. Instead of raging at you, however, he just gets up and leaves. If you didn’t know better, you’d assume he’s afraid of you. Enji Todoroki, grown man and Pro Hero, afraid of a child? Nonsense, he’d say if anyone asks. Yet his eyes have become warier over the years at every targeted retaliation.
He won’t do anything to get rid of you. It would look too suspicious, and he would either look weak or sound crazy if he tries telling someone he’s being bullied by a child. Endeavor’s entire existence has made you reevaluate your stance on bullying. Any new bruise on Mother that she doesn’t put there herself convinces you that if anyone deserves this treatment, Endeavor does. After all, you wouldn’t have needed to break his ribs that one time if you hadn’t caught him kicking Mother in the stomach after shoving her to the floor.
Every time he hurts her, you prank, hurt, or inconvenience him. Just talking won’t help. Kami knows Mother begged him enough the few times you’ve caught him red-handed. You’d asked him too, calmly and without violence, once upon a time, but his attacks didn’t scale back until you started fighting for her. A child having to literally knock sense into their parent isn’t ideal, and you hate even resorting to this, but eventually, he learns the hard way and gains some semblance of self-control. It takes longer than it did with Touya, and you watch him like a hawk in case he turns on your siblings.
Despite this, you’re too little too late.
Touya…
Touya burns.
Between the sounds of screaming and the scent of burning flesh, you manage to drag him into the lake with you after minutes of you both being roasted by his flames. Your muscles protest as you keep both of you treading water for hours. Touya nearly drags you down, his body a deadweight, but you persist. Only when embers remain do you manage to swim to shore. You carry him up the bank and collapse, your skin itchy and uncomfortable. Touya had burned you too when you grabbed him to save his life. Without your Quirk healing the worst of your injuries, you might both be dead. As it is, although the damage could be worse, it remains severe, especially on Touya. Your Quirk has a built in defense mechanism that forces it to allocate energy toward healing you and keeping you alive, prioritizing your own survival over anyone else’s. As a result, you look mostly normal, while Touya will need serious rehabilitation unless you can restore your reserves soon enough to heal him yourself.
Your Quirk works by accumulating energy, which it derives from any pain you endure. Burning created an enormous amount of energy, yet it also consumed an enormous amount. With how hot the flames Touya produces become, your Quirk had to work in overdrive to prevent his flames from incinerating either of you. Not to mention that you had to apply it continuously to both your bodies while you stumbled around in the blaze trying to find the water’s edge, then had to use it to supplement your own stamina so you wouldn’t both drown. As it is, bone-deep exhaustion makes staying conscious impossible.
Your last sight of Touya before you succumb is of a boy so badly burned he looks grotesquely raw and half-dead but for the faint rise and fall of his chest. His lower jaw is missing, his hair has seared off completely, and little trickles of blood run down his cheeks like tears. With great difficulty, you use the last of your strength to hold his hand. Your eyes slip closed just as a twig snaps nearby, as if someone stood just out of sight. 
Waking up in a hospital bed with Endeavor at your bedside, for once looking lost and forlorn, sets your teeth on edge. For once, no wariness lines his gaze. Instead he looks tired and grieved, with sadness lingering in his eyes. His eyes—Touya’s eyes—shift to your face when he notices you’re awake.
“Where is Touya,” you whisper, as hoarse and raspy as a chain smoker.
“Gone,” Endeavor says, gaze traveling away from your accusing stare and looking at some spot just beyond your shoulder.
Like he can’t bare to look into your face when you can look back at him.
“He’s home already? So someone healed him.”
“No, he—”
Endeavor hesitates. He never hesitates. He clears his throat, fidgeting in his seat. You glare at him, spiteful and resentful of the man who can’t even look at you when you’re in the fucking hospital.
Like he can sense your thoughts, he flinches, so subtle no one else would notice.
“Spit it out, Endeavor.”
“He’s dead.”
You blink as if that will clear your ears. The room tilts, spinning dangerously. Your hands grip the sheets as if the bleached white fabric is Endeavor’s thick neck. If Touya died trying to prove himself to this flaming piece of shit—
No.
“You’re a liar,” you spit, mean and full of bitterness.
“I’m not,” he refutes instantly.
“You are,” you snap. “Isn’t it enough to be a useless excuse for a father and husband? Now you have to lie to your kid when they’re in the fucking hospital too? Can you not sink any lower?”
Endeavor shoots to his feet, the flames around his face and chest blazing higher than normal and his fists clenching at his sides.
“You may hate me, brat, but that gives you no right to spew such hateful rhetoric at me. I’m still your father, even if you would prefer otherwise.”
“Oh, I think I have every right to do so after all you’ve done and failed to do, Endeavor.”
He takes an aggressive step forward then visibly restrains himself. You offer him a bitter smile to match your churning emotions.
“Really, Endeavor? So you want to hurt me even now in a hospital? Go ahead. Try something. Try anything. I dare you to do it. I won’t even fight back this time.”
“I am not some coward who feels the need to defend himself against a critically injured child,” he bites out from between clenched teeth. “Even if said child is you, you vicious little hell spawn.”
“Oh, that’s right,” you simper, “You only beat up scared women and minorly injured children. Such a brave man.”
Endeavor scowls, but before he can say anything more, a knock at the door grabs both your attention. A moment later, a doctor and nurse enter. You still feel weak from earlier, and Endeavor’s declaration still rings in your ears. Surely it must be a lie? It has to be, because otherwise…
Otherwise, Touya is gone.
