someone feed me propaganda for why ace is the oldest out of ASL because I’ve had it in my mind that Sabo is the oldest for so long now

#it just FEELS right for sabo to be the oldest #i get that ace was held in rouge’s stomach for 20 months and that would TECHNICALLY make him older #but like #my brain ain’t buying it #one piece #asl brothers #portgas d ace #sabo #luffy #yesterday’s thoughts

are we still doing this because i have a late submission

#🐉#this is less about fan content and more about that awful lazy one size fits all #'10 years later theyre happily married with a cute little nuclear family' trope #because ive read some genuinely incredible fics about characters who would Not fucking have kids #ending up with accidental pregnancy scares or child acquisitions that get treated with all the nuance #and thoughtful handling they deserve #but also. i reread one of my favourite fics yesterday and when one character jokingly brought up the idea of children #and the other reacted with genuine visceral disgust and said what hideously awful parents theyd be #i lit up like a fucking christmas tree

#sent this to my friend in the middle of class and she physically put her head in her hands with such devastation another classmate asked-#-if she was ok. so i hope it can aid u guys in similar manners i suppose!#smiling shakily… Do You Remember. The Time. When W #no one look too hard at the train i don’t care what trains look like. it’s not about that.#it’s about. sing along to the start of forever. as paramore once said.#took the train home for spring break yesterday! just thought of them. x #dnp #dan and phil #phanart

so here is a gargoyle i’ve doodled up. he’s my son

#art #ID in alt text #fantasy art #fantasy character design #umm not gonna tag this dnd because technically it isn’t but #i had the thought to maybe play this fellow and use the warforged race for the function #they’re an animated statue who doesn’t sleep or eat or anything #they were born yesterday so everyone needs to be nice to them

Pop culture reduces It's a Wonderful Life to that last half hour, and thinks the whole thing is about this guy traveling to an alternate universe where he doesn't exist and a little girl saying, "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings." A hokey, sugary fantasy. A light and fluffy story fit for Hallmark movies.

But this reading completely glosses over the fact that George Bailey is actively suicidal. He's not just standing there moping about, "My friends don't like me," like some characters do in shows that try to adapt this conceit to other settings. George's life has been destroyed. He's bankrupt and facing prison. The lifetime of struggle we've been watching for the last two hours has accomplished nothing but this crushing defeat, and he honestly believes that the best thing he can do is kill himself because he's worth more dead than alive. He would have thrown himself from a bridge had an actual angel from heaven not intervened at the last possible moment.

That's dark. The banker villain that pop culture reduces to a cartoon purposely drove a man to the brink of suicide, which only a miracle pulled him back from. And then George Bailey goes even deeper into despair. He not only believes that his future's not worth living, but that his past wasn't worth living. He thinks that every suffering he endured, every piece of good that he tried to do was not only pointless, but actively harmful, and he and the world would be better off if he had never existed at all.

This is the context that leads to the famed alternate universe of a million pastiches, and it's absolutely vital to understanding the world that George finds. It's there to specifically show him that his despondent views about his effect on the universe are wrong. His bum ear kept him from serving his country in the war--but the act that gave him that injury was what allowed his brother to grow up to become a war hero. His fight against Potter's domination of the town felt like useless tiny battles in a war that could never be won--but it turns out that even the act of fighting was enough to save the town from falling into hopeless slavery. He thought that if it weren't for him, his wife would have married Sam Wainwright and had a life of ease and luxury as a millionaire's wife, instead of suffering a painful life of penny-pinching with him. Finding out that she'd have been a spinster isn't, "Ha ha, she'd have been pathetic without you." It's showing him that she never loved Wainwright enough to marry him, and that George's existence didn't stop her from having a happier life, but saved her from having a sadder one. Everywhere he turns, he finds out that his existence wasn't a mistake, that his struggles and sufferings did accomplish something, that his painful existence wasn't a tragedy but a gift to the people around him.

Only when he realizes this does he get to come back home in wild joy over the gift of his existence. The scenes of hope and joy and love only exist because of the two hours of struggle and despair that came before. Even Zuzu's saccharine line about bells and angel wings exists, not as a sugary proverb, but as a climax to Clarence's story--showing that even George's despair had good effect, and that his newfound thankfulness for life causes not only earthly, but heavenly joy.

If this movie has light and hope, it's not because it exists in some fantasy world where everything is sunshine and rainbows, but because it fights tooth and nail to scrape every bit of hope it can from our all too dark and painful world. The light here exists, not because it ignores the dark, but because the dark makes light more precious and meaningful. The light exists in defiance of the dark, the hope in defiance of despair, and there is nothing saccharine about that. It's just about as realistic as it gets.

#it's a wonderful life #i know i've probably reached my quota of long posts about this movie #but i kept thinking about it and wanted to organize my thoughts into something a bit more refined #even though i'm mostly just restating what i said yesterday

what do you mean Phil’s entrapment was just him being asleep for a week. what felt like weeks to Phil was just him dreaming

never mind the book that cucurucho had given Phil when he “woke up” because my mind is reeling over the fact that the federation has this much power to mess with the player’s perception of their reality in this manner

side note: I do love the fact that everyone had asked phil where he had been for the past week but I hope he tells someone about the dream sequence after the event stuff is over cause what the fuck

#love that Phil surprise lore (that everyone totally saw coming)#everything was just immediately put on hold for the new member and event #I find that kinda funny haha #but yea I’m totally normal about the qsmp yep #qsmp #philza #yesterday’s thoughts

funny that the one song about the grinch is considered christmas music just because the story is about christmas. like here's a break from well wishes and gifts and cozy fireplaces to just spend like five minutes describing all of the ways this one dude is just fucking gross. just really ruminate on it. okay back to jingle bells

#thought about it in the car yesterday. im bsnned from the aux so #patch me through to palaven command
