#why did we ignore this scene?

[fakesmileinalllive-blog]

I may get so much hate for this but I need to say it.

Percabeth ended in Tartarus.

Hear me out. So far they were cute and lovely (maybe aside from first book where Annabeth was unnecessarily mean to Percy) so for me it would be an endgame. Even if I were a little concerned about the fact that their feelings might be based on mutual trust in eachother and their abilities and not necessarily love or some other positive emotions/feelings that are not connected to the fact that they were constantly fighting for their life together (something like relationships of convenience if you know what I mean).

So it was all fine until the Tartarus part.

I admit it was straining for both of them physically, emotionally and mentally. They went through so much that it still amazes me that they were ready to continue the quest. But in Tartarus they also reached their breaking point for example Percy's fight with Achlys. This is the part that bothers me the most. To protect himself and Annabeth (but mostly her, let's be real) he was fighting goddess of misery while being hurt, tired, hungry and thirsty. He gave his everything to make sure that they'll stay alive and I feel like Annabeth didn't appreciate it as she should. I get it she was scared of him, was overwhelmed from everything. I really do. But after it she made him promise to never again take control over poison DURING WAR. It might have been some slip or bad choice of words on her part but the fact that she didn't stop to think about it later really bothers me.

Girl you're in middle of war and hell and yet you make your protector promise to not use a power that may save ton of lifes. Why didn't she make him promise to not use it unless to protect himself or someone else? Why take away from him one of the means of protection?

And the worst of it is fact that Percy kept his promise during fight with Polybotes or while freeing (dunno if it's a right word) infected Nymphs. Those were situations in which his and other people's life were in danger and yet he consciously chooses death to breaking his promise.

Such thoughtlessness from Annabeth is what broke this ship for me. She ignored that he saved her (and it's somehow valid when I think under how much stress she was), made him make a promise that endangered him and other people AND later on while talking with Piper (who she knows didn't have high or positive opinion on Percy) agreed that he need to be controlled.

Just thinking about it makes me sick and I can't look at them (at her) the same. If they at least at some point came back to this promise and reworded it or something then it would be different. But they didn't. And it hurts.

If you don't agree with my opinion and want to discuss it or anything please stay respectful💜

Have a nice day everyone

hey i feel like we're really sleeping on that time Danny possessed Vlad & framed him for assaulting a minor

Editing with the clip because people don't believe me. Episode is 41: Eye for an Eye.

#Danny Phantom #i think this ties into my other post i made a long time ago about Danny siccing the GIW on Vlad #like we KNOW in CANON that if Danny was even a tiny bit more like Vlad he would literally become a supervillain #villain is such a stupid word i hate how it's spelled. why is it like that #anyways i need to like. rewatch DP cuz i remember shit & then i'm like #did that actually happen. because that sounds too insane #but like. he Did That. didnt he #i think that's what i love about this character. but a lot of people ignore it #Danny is like. gritting his teeth going ''do good do good'' it isnt effortless it isnt easy he doesnt even want to do it half the time #& sometimes yeah he WILL do crimes or get back at people who've been assholes to him or whatever #he WILL use his powers for bad sometimes #he'll be like ''dont do that it's bad'' but like. he WILL do it himself #the whole ''i'm a hero'' thing he's got going on is like. more of a. how do i put this #it's like when you're drawing or writing & saying ''it doesnt have to be perfect it just has to BE'' #like Danny isn't a hero sometimes. he's got morals & has a general understanding of good & bad #but also he's 14 & being attacked every day #i would start saying bad words & threatening people that annoy me too man #okay i glanced over the scene again for the first time in years & Danny was literally in the middle of outing Vlad to the whole town??? #hello?? are we really ignoring this????? #VLAD TORNADO VLAD TORNADO VLAD TORNADO #this show is so stupid i love it #love how Sam & Tucker immediately backed him up yeah fuck Vlad all my homies hate Vlad #okay you know what. maybe i will do a DP liveblog. i think it would be fun #on daddyplasmius. only posting this on pa-pa-plasma cuz it's kind of just a. weird rant post? kind of? idk

Neil: *roasts Riko*

Riko: isn’t ur dad a literal axe murderer

Neil: what? are you upset that my dad spent eight years looking for me while urs doesn’t even know you exist?

Riko:

Jean:

Literally everyone else sitting at the table:

#this is what happened in the Riko roast scene #we support Neil being a problematic king #Riko being salty because Neil’s dad looked for him even when he was in JAIL #we’re gonna ignore why Nathan was looking for Neil in the first place #Neil: did ur dad even show up for ur birth #Riko: *butthurt* #I bet Riko’s MOTHER didn’t even show up for his birth #like dr doofenshmirtz #Riko Moriyama is a bitch #aftg #all for the game #the foxhole court #neil josten #tfc #aftg hc #aftg headcanon #the raven king #aftg incorrect quotes #tkm #trk #aftg trilogy #the king's men #incorrect aftg #riko moriyama

my reaction to the sodex kiss:

#kotlc #kotlc sophie #sophie foster #dex dizznee #kotlc dex #kotlc sodex #sodex kiss #please ignore the horrifically edited youtube captions i beg i plead i implore you #but seriously #why shannon #she could've written ANYTHING else #anything #and THAT'S what she chose to do??? #in a story where the MAIN CHARACTER is adopted #she really went and pulled this #because she wanted this super cringy scene #WHY did we need this WHY can't shannon leave even ONE boy-girl relationship alone without romanticizing it #just ONE platonic teen-boy-teen-girl relationship where they aren't implied to have any sort of romantic feelings for each other whatsoever #is that so hard shannon #is it #i don't think it is #hhhhhhhhhh ok

I saw some people take what Pete said literally (and of course we're all entitled to our own opinion) but to me this is definitely Pete trying to convince himself that he didn't like it, because he's actually disgusted with himself and his feelings (the fact that he actually did like the sex and probably BDSM, and somehow cares for Vegas despite everything).

#kinnporsche #to me there was nothing fake about pete in the kissing/sex scene he definitely wanted it. we all saw his real smile after #if we get told anything different in the next episode i will simply ignore it lmao don't take pete's agency/consent away #vegaspete #i don't think he enjoys the torture or getting treated like a pet and punching bag by vegas tho i think that's taking it too far #which is probably also why he's so conflicted because he's hating some things but enjoying other things #also to the people saying pete doesn't enjoy bdsm: then why did he give vegas the rope?????

i always see people talking about the scene in Daredevil where Frank kills that pawnbroker for offering him cp, and that Frank was thinking about his daughter Lisa, because of him saying “she’s barely 12”, the same age Lisa was when she died, and that is very much true and definitely part of it, but also think about the fact that Frank’s best friend of many many years, a person he was so close to, “the life or death kind of friend”, was a victim of csa at around the same age, and trusted Frank enough to tell him that. Think about how even before Frank became ‘the punisher’ and started killing regularly, he straight up offered to murder the person who’d done that to his friend.

So, of course, Frank was thinking about his daughter, and how much he hated the image of a girl her age experiencing that, he was probably also thinking about his best friend who did experience it.

#just a thought #i always see people talking about frank thinking about lisa at that scene #but i’ve never seen people mention it and the connection with billy’s abuse #obviously that scene was written before billy was introduced or that plotline was created but it still counts #the punisher #daredevil #frank castle #lisa castle #billy russo #daredevil s2 #frank hates child abusers for multiple reasons and would murder them #even before he fully embraced being a mass murderer he was still willing to kill a child rapist #and thats why we love frank #jon bernthal #also we are ignoring everything billy did in this post. it doesn’t matter rn

manifesting 35$ to come into my life in the next two days so i can make a video setup SOLELY to rant about how shitty Pickman’s Model was

#i ! am! so! disappointed! #i know GDT didn't write or direct but you'd think a show with his presence #would at least not be *more* sexist antisemetic and vaguely homophobic #than fucking lovecraft??????? #not to mention that even if we're ignoring that it's a horrible adaptation of pickman's model the story #(which is one of lovecraft's best imo #it's my brother's fave and we revisited it after the ep) #it's a badly made horror story! on a technical level! a writing level! a pacing level! it doesn't flow! #not one scene has a natural and satisfying consequence! #it constantly shoves references to other Lovecraft stories in our face #but its relation to pickman's model itself is so thin i'm left wondering #if the writer or the director actually. read the story? if they did then they can't have liked it! #so WHY ADAPT IT

the sense of having any lore about the ancient [ten to thirteen years ago] of marble hornets times like granpa granpa tell us a greentext story....the only hitch is not having stories and instead having "i guess you had to be there" tales from the fringes, unless instead of a hitch you frame this as a bit

#like what's crucial info from then? who knows. smthing neat abt mh is its iterative resurgences apparently lol. got a wavelength #from the start it was always [queer fans queer fans trans fans trans fans] etc to be sure #by ''thee start'' i mean i showed up a couple of months? weeks? before s2 started. i think amnesia: the dark descent was partly to thank to #i mean of course it is in all things no matter the topic. and i feel manesia the dark manscent in this chili's tonight #one of the more [umm] first true spikes in New Ppl was when that game with the pages got streamed a lot #not a lot to work with there re: [you are already at mh hq] but brought ppl in like umm yea it's a little youtube movie here.... #Back In Those Days...when youtube had a Reply feature for videos which i would have forgotten was anything if not for tta really.... #the saga of [we didn't have any crisp behind the scenes pics of tim's mask for a while so deciding what its design seemed to be was tricky] #or [lucky that alex's striped hoody had both the inner seam highlights & the patch on the waistband] re: identifying it.... #the hoody was already Out Of Production lol the base masks were from michael's crafts which i hear has recently discontinued them; pensive #paper mache cosplays here we go.... #anyways nothing makes a good story. one time i sprinted to beat everyone on unfiction to solve a scrambled dvd cover #i managed to post it first (here on tumblr) And Then on unfiction; where it was also first lol. this was ignored #(one reply did a nominal shoutout like ''[other user] and others'' lmao) #i blog to this day....where's unfiction (rhetorical) #they were great for crowdsourcing codes but the Analysis(tm) left many things to be desired (i mean on tumblr too sometimes of Course) #unfiction would be like ''why is this entry delayed [thinking emoji]'' & truly the answer like ''they explained the behind the scenes reaso #in this linked facebook post here (the funy saga of joseph losing the distinctive out of print hoodie before its Part Two appearance)'' #and the unfiction thread would continue apace like ''hmm guess we'll never know'' yeah apparently not #unsurprisingly my best Retro Tales From Behind The Scenes would be like; that fun mh viewing party commentary bit live event.... #that there was overlap w/my first coming out transly times & probably had my Best Experience w/that from the mh creators lol #that thesis simply Is the tale. the bit abides

Not me thinking overthinking this line eternally :)

For all the SQX dislikes Pei Ming and opposes him in the aftermath of the Banyue incident, she still knows him well

#tgcf #peixuan #i just really like the wind master's debut scene and her talk with pei xiu #he goes from flippant to immediately respectful and remorseful (and completely ignores ming yi lol) #and their whole interaction has a very 'i'm disappointed in you' vibe from sqx's side #pei xiu mentions that sqx was already suspicious of him and i'm really curious about that #why the suspicion? xiao pei what did you do?? or is this just an extension of sqx's rivalry with pm #with how firmly sqx opposes pm in the aftermath i wonder if he's not disappointed in pm too #despite the personality problems sqx knows pm to be honorable and responsible and yet he's being pretty shady for pei xiu's sake #sqx meddling in the pei family drama is extra painful given his own family drama later... #suddenly not so easy to condemn pei ming from protecting his own huh #i will forever wish we got a scene with pm & sqx post bw arc (revised tgcf pls pls pls???) #but i also really really want a post bw px & sqx encounter

y’know, we’re calling it a Win that the mall scene is still under 5k, all things considered

#text #personal #writing #in btw #driscoll #hazard #we are also ignoring the fact that the beginning and ending of this scene need Overhauled lmao #future me problem #(if i ever get out of this tiny scene which is current me's problem lmao) #(i THOUGHT it would be quick and easy!!!) #(dear reader: it was and is Not) #on the bright side i'm much happier with where it's going lol and i think i found all the out of order shit #adhd whomst??? #so i did two of my three writing goals today but. really. i do feel better about this tiny scenelet so that's a Win also #(i didn't love the ending and i felt like there were redundant bits in the beginning) #i was correct on both fronts #i have figured out Why i'm just trying to re-execute now #love retconning my own thought processes from six years ago (not) #(okay that's a little harsh it is sort of fun to troubleshoot and problem solve) #(but dammit i want a Eureka moment soon bls)

naomi's character in mgs4 exists just to piss me off I swear

#hey snake I know we left off on the first game of this woman being considered Bad because she literally injected you with foxdie but let's #ignore that because she says she's being held by LIQUID so there's probably not an ulterior motive there no not at all #and then you're supposed to feel bad for her like aww she doesn't want to be a double agent :( #also all her scenes with otacon feel so UNCOMFORTABLE #they fuck after otacon rejected ALL OF HER ADVANCES #she's just manipulating him and we are still supposed to sympathize and I don't understand that shit at all #I did like naomi in mgs1 though her motives were all put together and it made sense why she would do the things she did #but with this game I just feel confused like who are you ???? what is your deal ???? her motives don't make a lot of sense imo

[merrysithmas]

real talk i think the only one truly miscast in the prequels was portman

#i know padme is supposed to be (in actuality) also incredibly naive alongside her strength in the senate #padme is ignorant of the struggles of the outer rim (TPM) abandons her beliefs in justice to have anakin for herself (AOTC) and #unfortunately lucas cut all her cool scenes in ROTS when she founded the rebellion and was going to try to kill anakin so she came off as #truly a wet noodle there too #TCW does a great job at rehabbing her character which i feel was the most needed out of the whole trilogy #i know lucas' direction cinematography and dialogue was like 80% the reason why padme comes off as unconvincing as she does #but i genuinely think another actor would have done a much better job as padme #the inctricacies just did not read and padme felt like a nonpresence #like you genuinely pity her (as you should in the tragedy narrative) and understand how she got caught in this web #but we dont SEE how #we dont see anything beyond girlboss padme who somehow (???) acts against her own sense of logic to be with anakin who js clesrly less #mature and less unstable than her #we dont see WHY she would do this although we know through the 4th wall she is supposed to be also corruptible and ignorant in her own ways #and her relationship w anakin is engineered to be thin and superficial but clung to w immature fantasy by the both of them #and that i think falls a little on the actor #we never see those shifts in padme #and i thinj someone would have done a lot better #if padme ever came back or had a diff series i wouldnt be opposed to her being recasted #this isnt hate this is just my opinion i liked portman in thor #but imo she isnt a great actress as many think #*** more unstable #unpopular opinions

[inutaffy]

thinking the real reason we start seeing less of mike in s3 and then less in s4 is because it's trying to show how he's slowly drawing into himself and that he's closed off/emotionally repressed, we as an audience quite literally have no clue as to what he's thinking

#my tags have a lot bc idk if this would go w the post but #he was a bitch to el in s3 and then switched up so fast in s4?? how did they even get back together? #he's mean to will one minute and then el leaves and he's back to being a sweetheart #the inconsistency in his behavior better be explained bc we have gotten like no 'just mike' scenes in awhile #he's always been around people or talking with people #let him have an arc pls duffers #i want to see him break down #they need to realize how much he's been repressing oh my gooodddd #i just don't get what the 'why?' to mikes behavior could be besides homosexuality #he was so friendly and protective of will in s2 and then in s3 he ignores/ditches him all summer for eleven..... #it's not adding up... #and s4 he acts like him and will are strangers one minute and then his ultimate absolute bestie for life the minute eleven leaves #bc like really it's so confusing #the ambiguity needs addressing ! i deserve it ! #mike wheeler #stranger things #michael wheeler #gay mike wheeler #mike wheeler is gay #byler #stranger things 4 #s4 stranger things #stranger things s4

I love Tao so much but what the fuck was the ending of episode 7 actually

#finally beginning to get into the things this show DIDNT do well and #what the fuck was that #also???? why did Elle tell Tao and not Charlie why did they create this scenario where Charlie acts so different toward Tao than he does in #the comics?? #also. I wished theyd clarified what Imogen’s ‘some girl’ when Darcy was right there was about #did she now know it was Darcy Tara kissed? was she specifically ignoring Darcy? #what are we to make of her character and that decision #ALSO ALSO the fact that Nick has none of his own friends. #Charlie is the center of his world and all of his friends are because of Charlie #I know we made the rugby team more of a THING (/neg) but also... less of a thing? why don’t we ever see Nick with Otis Sai or Christian? #less scenes with Harry being a dick and more scenes of Nick actually having friends so it makes sense that he stays in the rugby team so #long - even with Ben literally having sexually assaulted Charlie and Harry actively antagonizing Charlie AND Nick #how do they rationalize Nick staying through all of that when he absolutely didn’t in the comics? FOR A GOOD REASON LOL #Idk man this show did do a lot of good things but I think some picky things have me bothered lol #I’ll stfu now sorry

Thinking about a certain scene in Dungeon Meshi that completely encapsulates the Autistic experience of making friends as an adult and how hard it is to try and navigate it without ending up getting hurt.

Like IDK about y'all, but this is a common problem ALOT of Autistic Adults face when trying to make friends with other people, because unlike children who aren't good at keeping their opinions to themselves, Adults ARE. In society, we're even encouraged to "keep the peace" "be polite" and etc, which commonly leads to awful scenarios as shown above when Laois finds out his buddy has come to resent who Laois is without actually telling him. All too often the friends that we love to hang out with, people that we're so happy to spend time with, don't feel the same way and in many cases, come to blame us for our social cues or lack thereof.

And when/if we do eventually find out how our friend feels, Dungeon Meshi hits us with another painful panel of how that usually ends up playing out.

It's hard for Adults with Autism to make friends, and even harder to maintain them because alot of the ways Neurotypicals tell other Neurotypicals that they don't like a certain behavior is by quietly disengaging. Whether that involves having one sentence answers, going quiet, or having a certain tone in their voice, all those things signal annoyance or disapproval, but for the Neurodivergents, those subtle cues are completely missed.

And yet when we inevitably discover we DID do something, it is natural to ask "well why didn't you tell me?" because in our minds, it should've been the next step in the equation. However for the Neurotypicals, that's NOT something to bring up. Its important to be SUBTLE about the issue at hand and rely on signals to tell the other person. Blame is placed on us for not noticing the "obvious" signs of disapproval rather than the idea of talking it out as such things are uncomfortable and harder to do. Alot of the time what ends up happening is resentment due to the idea that it was "obvious" and the fact one didn't notice indicates a deliberate ignorance rather than a complete unawareness. It ends up calling into question our quality as a person and our sincerity. We get called "fake" or "malicious" or even "stupid" for failing social cues rather than questioning the decision to be indirect and vague.

For a manga about exploring the dungeon, it seems that the artist would rather explore very real and prevalent dynamics in society with the adventuring premise as a backdrop. I felt VERY seen in these panels, and many others, because it happens so suddenly and dare I say it, plainly. There's no dramatic build-up or spectacle made and in essence, it just Happens.

I think that's what makes the scene hit even harder. It seemingly comes out of nowhere for Laois, like how it always comes out of nowhere for alot of people, and it's never a dramatic twist either. It's always mundane and hurtful. A sudden unforeseen bump in the road that ends up calling into question one's entire friendship with someone and consequent other friendships. It asks "what if other friends feel the same. What if the people that I really like actually hate me and I don't know it?" Or at least that's what I came away with after reading the chapter. I've been where Laois was and the only reason I'm not there now is because I lost the naivete I had and doubt everyone else's sincerity.
