#Goddamn. Get better

Oh, Nier too?

Maybe SE is the problem.

This line always fucks me up a bit whenever I see it. Cos what does he mean by this??? What is "everything we stand for" Zack talking about here??? After getting shot by 100 bullets, I honestly think Zack would know better than anyone else, why would a SOLDIER, especially Sephiroth, will turn his back on all the "values" Shinra's fed them back then. "Everything" they stood for was a giant brainwash military propaganda by Shinra. Zack has a whole ass Crisis Core to come to term with it. Shinra harms innocent people, his mentor, his idol, his best friend, his girlfriend, THEY KILL HIM, MULTIPLE TIMES, RIGHT BEFORE THIS BATTLE! He'd been pickled in a lab for 4 years. He's ready to cut hundreds of his old colleagues. He threw a fucking stop sign at Shinra's helicopter at the very beginning of Rebirth. Why is he saying this now??? Genuinely what more does Shinra have to do to Zack for him to let go of the glorified ideal of SOLDIER? Took Cloud way less to see Shinra for what it is, including the nature of SOLDIER. What's the point of Crisis Core anymore??? He can kill anyone from Shinra that stands in his way, but letting go of SOLDIER title is where he draws the line?

What do YOU stand for, Zack? As a SOLDIER? You can't just separate SOLDIER from Shinra. That's not how it works. Everything every SOLDIER in existence has done is for Shinra and Shinra alone. There's no way Zack isn't aware of this.

Anyone well-versed in Zack's lore can give me a logical explanation of this dialogue after everything he's been through? Like I need an actual character breakdown that naturally leads to this conclusion, or else, to me, this single line sets his journey back several steps, unless there's some translation issue, and his JP line carries a different meaning. But that's a whole different problem.

POV. You’re a foot soldier stationed at Heaven’s gate and the sexual tension between your boss and his second in command is getting weirdly high these days for some reason

Being a batfam fan is funny because people will make a post like “here’s my headcanon-“ and it’s just something that’s directly canon to the story then post about major canon events and get everything wrong.

People treat Steven Universe's views on political violence as naive, as if there wasn't that time Steven accidentally broke a peace treaty and sparked warfare between two enemy factions, and was only able to create peace by making him and the Gems pose a bigger threat.

The factions were a pizza shop and a fry stand and the threat was good cooking, but still

I so desperately need to see more folks write abt the inherent dynamic of how Cygate is like. a very much mutual, back-and-forth protective relationship. They protect /eachother/ and I think that thats such an important part of it all. Tailgate gets dumbed down a lot but he’s soooo far from stupid or plainly naive, his naivety comes from his optimistic attitude and lack of experience with more extreme situations. But he’s so fucking smart, and hes a stubborn lil’ shit, and he’s gathered every bit of how Cyclonus works and keeps it all in mind for whenever something happens and the guy /needs/ someone who /gets/ him to step in.

The “See, that wasn’t so difficult.” line speaks soooo many words. He’s so fucking patient man, if there’s one thing he has oodles of experience with it’s the passage of time having to be spent for a Good Outcome. That’s sorta what the whole arc of that development was about, showing what /he/ is willing to do. They are equal in what they give and take. They’re anchors for eachother and I NEED more of that it’s like my favorite thing to see in art and writing of them. They’re going to make me so ill i genuinely teared up writing this wtf

Does it ever hit you that Martha sat down in New New York and told the Doctor that she needed his honesty more than she needed to go home and that religious music played in the background at that scene and it was almost framed as a confession, in the most religious sense, and go a little bit feral? That as early as her third episode, she was framed as his equal, equally divine, equally a doctor, able to confront him, able to make him honest, able to sympathize with him, able to abide with him? That so few companions have ever spent so much time in one time period with the Doctor (1969/1913, for example), being with him/her, not running, just staying? That for every fucking thing Ten did wrong as John Smith/after coming back to himself in Human Nature/Family of Blood, he trusted her enough to leave himself vulnerable and human in her care, because he trusted her as a Doctor, because she was just as much a Doctor as he was? That Martha was, more than any other companion of the Tenth Doctor's, his equal, that her final speech about not being second was not just talking about her not being second best to Rose but about being second best to him? That she finally understood what had been true from the moment that they met and she closed Stoker's eyes and the Doctor realized that she had not just bravery and cleverness but a kindness that he had forgotten, that Martha Jones, more than anything else, has been and always will be The Doctor?
