nah but like
they're "seiros lapdogs" because they're fighting back against the people who attacked them completely unprovoked??? also because it so happens that thales is at garreg mach so they have to go there to reclaim the area to defeat him???
i just hate this because it's just perpetuating things about faerghus and its people that just aren't true. it frames it like they jumped into the war willingly for the church and that they're only here for the church. like nah buddy, it's not faerghus' fault you're out here fighting to protect thales and ludwig.
it also is batshit to me how he and leopold are fighting to stop faerghus from advancing but like... they know what's happening to the empire and that edelgard isn't even calling the shots anymore, yet they still stupidly fight for the very person who is literally razing their country and burning their villages. they know the empire is in shambles and that the kingdom isn't targeting them and is specifically aiming for gm to get it back from who? thales; who, mind, at this point is in his real form and not posing as arundel anymore. everything is laid out plainly, but they still act like faerghus is the bad guy.
but yeah, okay. faerghus BaD for defending themselves, fighting back, finding out who is behind all the puppeteering and heading to take him out. sure, that makes them seiros lapdogs. like what are you, an agarthan mouthpiece??? may as well be like yeah you go retreat and leave you agarthan lapdog. if they don't realize it's Someone Else in charge of course, then ludwig lapdog works fine too.
and it sucks because other than this shit, i like waldemar just fine as a character. it's just like, it feels like they forced someone to have to stick in that final faerghus BaD insult before the grand finale so they just randomly picked someone to remind us that faerghus is Always Wrong as long as they continue to fight back and prevent being attacked in the future.
waldemar here is just basically ag caspar. fighting and risking his life for thales, who is destroying the empire and basically holding the emperor hostage. if the writing here had any decent plot points, they would've all stopped and have been like hey wait, shouldn't we be fighting to get our emperor back? why are we stopping these guys from killing the people who are destroying this country?
and like, they literally went from siding with ludwig during the insurrection to siding with edelgard in this timeline to... jumping immediately back to ludwig as soon as he was at the top of the food chain (thales notwithstanding). as soon as the person in charge changes, they jump ship immediately; then of course get mad that the people they attacked are coming after them... and fighting them as they defend the very people who are letting adrestia become a literal, physical ruin.
it really just tells me that these people don't care about adrestia itself, but status, power and wealth. they don't care about the country itself as long as they're doing well. that's like, the only thing i can get from still fighting with/for ludwig/thales. the fact that they just fight for ludwig again as soon as edelgard is out of commission is also pretty gross to me. they have no loyalty at all.
and it's like, i want to like waldermar and leopold, but they come across as just selfish, entitled and only there for their own asses to be covered. and i get that - that is a realistic take on politicians, but the fact that the game regularly loops back around to faerghus BaD despite that and despite portraying these people as opportunistically selfish is like... what are they even trying to write??

At this point this site is my thoughts dump regarding Thai shows(and rarely something else)
So I was watching a reaction to MLC cuz I can't have enough of this show and I wanna see what other people feel watching it, I was watching and noticed that some scenes where missing and went to the comments to see if it was said that thei edited the video and cut out part of it to make video shorter and there the reactor said that in the reaction they accidentally skipped I believe the third part of the episode and whent directly to the fourth, anyway I decided to read the comments and replies and somebody was talking about the cheating plot and how it wasn't present in the final cut and was wondering what could have happened between Alan and Wen and what could have Alan done to make Wen that pissed and this was a normal comment asking questions a lot of people are wondering about this 2... but then in the replies a person said that it was probably in the og script by Jojo and remarked that he is the director they hate the most... HATE THE MOST??? exuse me have we watched the same shows by the same person? like Jojo is amazing and mind you I have yet to finish a couple of his shows(mostly 3 will be free cuz it gaves me anxiety lol but that is just a me thing) mostly cuz I have barely any time to binge watch, but I saw Mama GoGo, Warp Effect, Dirty Laundry and am halfway trough NLMG(again no time!) and the first 2 are some of my favourite of this year! I love how he is able to meke me like even the messiest of characters and he make such compelling storylines that are actually quite unpredictable from the start of the show also I really like his directing style a lot and he always give us new and original stories compared to remakes or book adaptations(wich can be good but the nivelty of them is not there and a lot of people tend to spoil for those who have no possibilities to get the source matirial)...
I really felt bad reading that comment cuz I love Jojo not just as a director but as a person as well he is such an adorable guy so happy and smiley with a good pool of references to Western and Asian pop culture
I had to say this cuz I cannot accept Jojo slander! the man is a gift to that hellish company and we need him and his shows!
thanks for reading this rant appreciated
here take this🚩 in honor of Jojos next project Only Friends...

not the paper nor the words we waste (but time and lives) - pettiot - Peaky Blinders (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
Post S4 and pre S6, snippets of Thomas Shelby's political career.
Ch 1: On the proposed Measure to Grant the Government Additional Powers to Seize the Children of Narrowboat Dwellers who fail to comply with compulsory School Attendence. A day very early in his career where junior Minister Thomas Shelby must defend the right of families to live together on narrowboats.
.
Note, notwithstanding the 'incomplete' nature, each chapter is substantively a standalone work/one-shot. Tags will update to reflect additional chapters.
.
Tommy Shelby, Various Ministers | (Superficial View of) Politics (as a Forum for Identity Assault), Parliament, Alternative Universe Politics, Public Speaking, The Inherent Humiliation and Sledging Associated with Speaking in Parliament, Slurs, Nastiness, Bullying, Irony <-Deep Deep Irony, Schadenfreude, Fremdscham, Secondhand Embarrassment, Work, Imperialism, Class Issues, Colonial Constructs
.
Writers notes for any interested (also in the tags):
Chapter 1 was drawn from a transcript of a similar argument tabled at Parliament in 1930 (?) I think and again over time (IIRC? read it a few months ago with some searing statements burned into my brain, flinching a little). The politicisation of the lifestyles of people who live and work on narrowboats has a very long and painful history.
I imagine the possibility of the rueful and somewhat bitter realisation when Tommy walks into Parliament to discover his (at that time unknown to any minister) very specific childhood the subject of heated political debate. That he doesn't necessarily want to defend that for personal reasons, but has to recognise that his life wasn't everyone's life, and also that cannot *not* defend that way of living because...well...the alternative he notes in his argument. The consequences of sweeping policy that is typically unconsidered.
I also imagine that suddenly having this in his face in Parliament at a time when he is least mentally stable, could feasibly have contributed further to the breakdown of those boundaries between his war trauma and childhood trauma -> this way in S5 his narrowboat references / childhood trauma references become that increasingly heavy shadow.

it will never not be funny 2 me that in fnv, if you’re not either stupid or a gay man, the only way to get arcade as a companion is to undergo the pain of performing 500 billion Tasks for the followers and/or giving them all your med x. but if you’re stupid enough or gay enough you can just go up to him like Hey I’m stupid / Hey I like Men and he’ll just drop everything and follow you into the desert to go get killed in the desert. also doesn’t he drink your soda if you give him soda

it's fodder for excellent drama but let's admit it, hush and war games and identity crisis and under the red hood all happening in relatively close succession is insanely funny. just bruce speedrunning the worst fucking 365 days of his life. they should release a compilation book of all four and just title it 'batman and the terrible horrible no good very bad year'

The agony of fighting an iteration of Riku for the thirteenth time this series. I've been keeping count.
I'm spiritually putting Riku, Riku possessed by Xehanort's Heartless, Replica Riku (especially you, you angry mf, I had to fight your ass 6 tortuous times in one game), and Data Riku in a box where they can't hurt me anymore.

embarrassing projection<3
Milligan finds Nicholas one night, curled up on the couch in his study. He looks distressed. He won’t answer when Milligan asks what’s wrong. He’s rubbing his palm into his forehead like it hurts.
“Headache?” Milligan asks, to which he receives a terse shake of ‘no’.
Milligan sits beside him. He seems okay, physically. He’s not shaking. No tears. But his eyes are pained, and his eyebrows above them are scrunched up with stress, and he can’t quite seem to sit still. He rolls over, grabbing at his clothes and at the blanket he has half-tossed atop his legs, and he won’t speak.
Milligan knows better than to push him. He just sits there. He pulls him into his arms, and he rubs his large fingers in circles around his scalp. Nicholas deflates as some of the tension melts away. He hums a little, making sounds of distress, pain, worry, and then contentment as he begins to feel better.
Milligan sings. It’s a song he can’t remember how he knows, and his voice is scratchy and off-key, but he sings, and Nicholas listens. Milligan wishes that he could see into his friend’s mind. It was hard to know how to help him when he didn’t fully know what was wrong. But holding him helped, and the singing did, too, and Nicholas calms, slowly, slowly, slowly.
His voice takes the longest to come back. Not until much later— after a nap— does he speak again, saying “thank you.”
He shakes his head again, though, when Milligan asks softly if he’d like to talk about it.

no thoughts just once again thinking about bucky suffering from refeeding syndrome as a result of going 70+ years without eating solid foods and steve helping him through it on the worst days when nothing will stay down and he’s just feverish and nauseous and in pain all day, bringing him cool cloths to wipe his sweaty face and rubbing his stomach to try and ease the cramping and just holding a bucket in front of him to be sick into when bucky is too tired to do it himself anymore
