#who he is

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Something something about the alien hand call in 7x05 and Buck being the one being strangled.

Something something about Buck grappling with this new part of himself and coming out to people. Something something about the ‘fear’ of being judged or treated differently having him in a stranglehold because it’s still new to him and he doesn’t have it figured out himself yet.

Something something about being in 2 minds about telling people, about revealing himself - because the alien hand syndrome in this call occurs when the brains two lobes are separated - the connection severed - the brain is split in two

#I don’t know there’s just something about not having control over part of yourself or how people will react to it #something about buck being in two minds about telling people but also wanting to experience the freedom of discovering a new and big part of #who he is #there’s also something about learning a new way of existing #but theres also something about being in the grip of jealousy and not fully in control of your actions or behaviour because you don’t #understand what is going on #(we know this call got shifted from the last ep so the jealousy element is still kind of relevant and I also feel like jealousy is meant to #be a running them for this season) #911 spoilers #911 abc #bi buck #evan 'buck' buckley #evan buckley

Interesting how Buck's clothes gets super tight (like he's not comfortable in his skin) only when he's not mentally stable. Like in 6s. And in 6s he's clothes ALWAYS almost ready to break on him because he's close to break. Because he doesn't know who he is and tries to fit in place not for him. He wears wrong skin, wears mask and his clothes show it

#he tries to find he's place #who he is #but all he tries is wrong #because he's hiding something #from himself #because he tries to still not be himself #evan buckley #evan buck buckley #911 #911 abc

The fact that Jesper is like. a mid-tier fabrikator at best is actually so important to me.

So much of this story centers around the fact that these people are not chosen ones, that they have no sacred destiny or otherworldly power, but that they're children doing the best they can in a system that doesn't care about them, and all they have are their wits and each other. Jesper isn't an especially gifted grisha, and he has no formal training, but he takes that teaspoon of unremarkable talent and applies it to a skill he spent years perfecting to make something even greater and wholly his own. He isn't special because he was born that way, he's special because he made himself special.

#i could literally talk about this forever #this also applies to every other character btw #but jesper is a great example #i love him so much #this is lowkey why i don't love all the meta ppl write about him going to the little palace to learn #also i think its super important to note that wylan doesn't encourage him to embrace his abilities to 'get more powerful' or whatever #he specifically wants him to do it because repressing that side of him is actively hurting him and he can't spend his life ignoring part of #who he is #wesper #jesper fahey #six of crows #crooked kingdom #soc #six of crows meta #also like. the fact that he learned this not from an institution or a grisha specialist but from his mother. it's just v important to me #rip aditi hilli you were a real one

Well, looks like even a broken clock's right at least twice a day; an edelstan on twitter was pissed a few days ago when they saw that Cyril's Meet the Heroes description described his time “working” for House Goneril as “some odd twists and turns”, pointing out that such vague wording was most likely used due to a combination of 3H not caring about Cyril's backstory and IS needing to sanitize Hilda's image so she can sell better in Heroes.

Hahaha,

It's funny because on SPE some people made memes, and you have angry people in the comments, being angry and basically lying or making up facts to either diminish Cyril's uh, "working conditions" in House Goneril, or try to sweep it under the rug to give some "Rhea BaD" takes again

Like :

(meme where Claude doesn't criticise his allies for keeping slaves, but blame racism on the lady who saved the child slave)

"Faerghus is the most violent country because they killed the emperor and enacted a coup while being backed up by mole people" to talk about that time when Loog got his independance

"Rhea BaD bcs Cyril can't learn how to read if you don't support him with Lysithea" even if he writes in the Post TS regardless of recruiting Lysithea or not

"Claude tries to talk to Cyril out of fighting but Cyril drives to a suicide charge with Rhea's blessing so Rhea BaD" in GW, with the source being, idk, since the person who came with that take never sourced it

"Rhea BaD she used the regicide in Faerghus to get rid of her political enemies" you mean the dude who tried to kill her?

"Supreme Leader wouldn't be able to continue warring if Rhea DeD bcs else she would be invading people and would lose public support" like the Supreme Leader? From the land of MAGA? Lose public support?? If she invades nations to restore Adrestia to its glorious past???

"Cyril never said he wasn't eating well in house Goneril" but the JP line says he was always hungry in PAlmyra and Fodlan before coming to the Monastery...

Anyways, as expected, even if FEH tries to sanitise some of Fe Fodlan's most, uh, contentious points, we will always have discourse because some people just prefer their fanon to canon, and while I can understand them to a degree (look Willy is basically fanon at this point) it's always hilarious to see people refuse to engage or even consider that the game they "love" says X when they prefer Y.

When it comes to, in general, Church related characters or Kingdom related characters, we see a lot of discourse like this popping up because while FE Fodlan shat on them (to an extent, for the Church related characters) FEH has to give them the minimum spotlight they give to other characters of the franchise, so yes, Hilda's popularity most likely is the reason why Cyril in MYH just had some "odd twists and turns" (tfw Begnion Senators aren't as popular :( so Muarim was mentionned to have been a slave) but his voiced lines has him mention he was captured as a "war prisoner"...

Putting everything it adds up and we have : Cyril was captured as a war prisoner when he was 11-12 by the Gonerils, was hungry there, complained about "work being hard" there (when Cyril doesn't complain at all in GM despite the huge workload he has!), and implies to Mercedes to have been mistreated in House Goneril because he was Almyran (which matches Hilda's prejudices in her C support about Almyrans).

Why is Cyril's backstory so "discourse rising" then?

Is it because Rhea BaD cannot rescue a child from slavery from a popular character's family/household? Or because Hilda's laziness and preference to let other people do her chores looks especially wrong if we take into consideration that those "other people doing her chores" at home might be children "kept as prisoner of wars and fed twice per week"? Or because it reflects badly on Claude (in both games) who wants to end discriminations and prejudices by getting rid of the institution that rescued an abused child, while working hand in hand with the family that abused said child based on his origins?

(lol@the "but Faerghus BaD" bonus point in the earlier SPE thread I mention, I don't even understand why it was brought up lol)

Back to your post, it's hilarious how this edelstand was pissed becayse FEH whitewashed Cyril's backstory to maybe sell more Hilda alts, when Pat'n'pals try their hardest (in FE16, Nopes and even FEH!) to "alter the script" to shit on Rhea, Dimitri to make Supreme Leader alt'able.

Maybe there's hope for this twitter/X stan?

#anon #replies #I can't type X seriously lol #fandom woes #i think this is more on the Fodlan games treating serious points like these as jokes or not giving them any serious thoughts #how can the Deer routes pretend to tackle racism if House Goneril is never tackled? #I'm not asking Hilda to become like Tellius!Jill #but even just a thing or a reaction from Claude maybe in their support #like they really really get along but Claude's afraid her prejudice against Almyrans will make her turn against him if she ever learnt #who he is #but if Rhea has to be the giant red herring and even scapegoat to drink Hresvelg Tea everything she does must be sus #if Rhea isn't the reason why Fodlan might not like foreigners and is even the one who welcomes and shelters them #then maybe Supreme Leader's point that erasing her will save the world is completely stupid? And you wouldn't side with her or be sad #if you kill her? #idk #FE16 #mention

I've been so fixated on ed's suffering but stede is sitting by the deathbed of the man he loves and he's blaming himself for his death. from his point of view he left and now ed is gone and stede is taking all the blame for that

#fucked up!!! #someone get that man a blanket #like he very much did fuck up but he also very much did not do this #ed was suicidal before they but even so stede leaving is not what pushed him off the cliff #it's the belief that life isn't worth living because he can never be who he wants nor have what he desires and no one will ever love him fo #who he is #and that was cemented there by a certain someone we all know very well while ed was raw and vulnerable from stede's abandonment #so sure stede has some blame but nowhere near as much as he thinks #and i can't wait for him and ed to communicate and reassure each other that they are in fact not monstrous but unconditionally loved #hey sorry in advance #ofmd spoilers #alex watches ofmd

i don't expect anything good from jjk anymore since gege killed kenjaku so poorly. my hopes are under the floor.

#respectfully **** *** #it doesn't make sense that you kill your main villain like that #who had been well written so far #with good consistency #with a logical and different plan of why he wanted to see the world burn #and you kill him without giving us his past... without showing us his origins #who he is #where he came from #every time I think about it I get even angrier #jjk spoilers

#he could be a little shit to people the whole season i dont care i actually encourage that #but like he’s not gonna try to help vecna #yk what i want?? will to be a little shit that beats the shit out if vecna because he loves his friends and family that’s an important part #who he is #will byers #byler tumblr #byler #stranger things #will byers my shining star #stranger things s5 #willel

As the BOOTH is wont to do, she deposits the Inspector right in Mona’s path.

But, Mona clearly doesn’t know who the Inspector is … because of all that muck he stuffed her brain with in order to confuse it so she didn’t recognise him!

@arkatrine just nodding a long to your tags and fully agreeing with them and this is why Kieran said Connor is the worst of them.

#like Greg is annoying but Connor is on another level than the other kids #if we saw more of him I think more viewers would get it but that’s also a part of his curated persona he will never fully reveal #who he is

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

Knowledge Revenge.

#dungeon meshi #chilchuk tims #senshi #Somewhat of an unofficial sequel to the Dragon Comic. I promise I have more versatility in my jokes. I just had to take this opportunity. #Senshi is pretty much a recluse. I think he would know a few of these 'gottems' but not all. #Chilchuck would know gottems that are nearly lost to time. The deep cuts. The ones that you fall for because they are that obscure. #I would also like to take a moment to confess that after the last comic in which I posed a gottem - #I fell victim to a Mind Goblin Attack. I was thoroughly got. I will be on higher alert this time. #So NOBODY be funny in the tags. I am gullible and I like to share things with my friends. Who are *ruthless*. #I have a mild resistance to Vicious Mockery at this point but I can only take so much. #Happy Thistle Thursday Everyone! See you next week!

The funniest thing about the discourse Daemon stans keep trying to start with me is like. If you're insisting that the character in the show is different from the one in the books (a valid approach), but also that the showriters don't know what they're doing and wrote him wrong and that the actors don't know what they're saying when they talk about him...what exactly are you basing your understanding of the character on? Where are you getting all these positive qualities that "disprove" that he would act this way but that we never see on screen? At what point do you realize that the man you're talking about exists solely in your head? Is the real Daemon Targaryen in the room with us right now?

#like if none of the people who made the character agree with your take then hes not out of character when he acts this way. thats literally #who he is #im sorry your shitty white boy turned out to be a bad person. im sure thats really hard for you sweetie #maybe if you didn't keep woobifying abusive war criminals you wouldn't need to be fighting for your life on tumblr.com #anti daemon targaryen #house of the dragon #hotd #daemon targaryen

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

#talk tag #IT KILLS ME. REIGEN IS NOT MOB'S DAD. HE HAS A DAD. INGO IS NOT AKARI'S DAD. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN ANYONE HEAR ME #(not even necessarily to say that ingo is in his late 20s but still) #(even if he was a 30-40-50 year old no matter how old he is no fucking teenager is gonna call some guy they met as a 15 year old ''dad'') #GAI IS NOT A FATHER FIGURE TO ROCK LEE HE WAS LIKE 13 WHEN HE WAS BORN! PLEASE!!!!!!!! #one time i saw that a ​person wrote a fic where mario was like a father figure to luigi. #they are TWIN BROTHERS. #not what this about but idk where else i can say anything about this. #just horrible #also sometimes someone is just An Older Friend like no familial relationship just a friend or acquaintance who is a lot older than you

"he would not fucking say that" but you ever be looking at fanart and suddenly its "he would not fucking have abs"

#txt #guys. guys this is not about hcs. do you hear me this is about when a guy with no logical reason to have abs is drawn like a hollister model #like when a guy who does nothing but go to coffee shops and read books is drawn with abs like hes been hiking mountains and climbing trees #do you hear me are you hearing me
