I love how Discworld introduces Granny Weatherwax.

She is introduced as a witch, but it's not actually clear if she can do any magic for quite some time. At first all she does is herbal medicine and Headology, aka make-believe, mind tricks, placebos and basically tricking people.

Even when it becomes clear that she flies around on a broomstick and can project her mind into other living things, it's still not obvious if she can do any magic beyond that.

And then she and her buddies magically move an entire country 15 years into the future, and it becomes very clear that she's not only very much capable of doing magic, but she's one of the strongest, if not the strongest magic user in the entire world who can do stuff like summon death himself with nothing but a candle, and I am not even sure she really needs the candle.

Compare that to the wizards. The first impression you get of them is that they're powerful magic users, I mean they are wizards in a fantasy world, people fear them for their magic, and they got a whole magic college, so they must be powerful, right? They even look down on witches because they "don't use real magic"... and because they're usually women.

Granted, the very first (and best) wizzard we're introduced to can't even do any magic, but he seems like an outlier. Then you hear more and more about the magic college and other wizards, and it becomes clear that most wizards are arrogant and lazy fucks who can't do much magic beyond basic fireballs, turning people into frogs and maybe teleportation. Even the head-wizard of the college was completely helpless after running out of juice from a single teleportation spell.

Even when all the wizards become incredibly powerful, thanks to circumstances beyond their control, all they use their magic for is building really tall wizard towers and raging wars against each other. Wars which are ripping holes into reality, which threaten to release unspeakable horrors from the unspeakable horrors dimension.

Like... the books used most reader's assumptions and expectations, aka 'Headology', to make them underestimate Granny Weatherwax while overestimating the Wizards.

Just *chef's kiss* world building.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was famously pitched as a subversion of the horror cliche of a young woman walking into an alleyway only to be killed by a monster. What if, the show asked, the young woman turned around and killed the monster? What if she was the thing that monsters have nightmares about?

For the spin-off series Angel -- a "darker" and "more complex" show, as its creators love to describe it -- the writers decided to further subvert the premise. What if, they asked this time, a young woman walked into an alleyway, only to be saved from a monster by a handsome, brooding man? What if the young woman was pregnant? What if the handsome man didn't actually save her, but he felt really bad about her death and brooded extra hard about it for the rest of the episode? (Maybe the monster had lawyers -- everyone hates defense lawyers, right? -- and maybe he could threaten to kill them!) What if the young woman was pregnant? Or what if she was the monster, and so he had to kill her and then feel really bad about it? And what if she was pregnant? Wouldn't that be terrifying? What if there was a young woman and she got pregnant and became monstrous and died, and a stoic brooding man who didn't like to talk about his feelings sat in his office and felt sad about it?

Mono no aware

Here is an obscure emotion that took me a few days to understand but Mono no aware is a Japanese idiom that describes the feeling of bittersweet and a deep appreciation for the impermanence of life. it can be translated as "the pathos of things."

If this is confusing, it's the feeling of nostalgia but instead of longing for the past, Mono no aware longs for the present moments. The moments where life and time becomes still as you appreciate the beautiful sensation of euphoria, however you're sadden that the sensation won't last for long.

If this is still confusing. One prime example is in studio ghibli's Spirited Away, where Chihiro sits on the train in solitude as she stares off in longing. The scene captures this stillness and poignant feeling where it feels like the story has taken a pause. It's the quiet moment where you finally enjoy the silence after going through hardship, where you reflect and appreciate what was lost and what has changed.🌸🩷🌿

I can't help feeling like Kim has a martyr complex every time I think about

"ESPRIT DE CORPS: If an assault were launched on this building right now — if the windows came crashing down and the whole world descended upon you — this man would hurl himself in death's way to save you. You are sure of this —but why?

You: Hold on, who is he to me?

ESPRIT DE CORPS: He is your half-brother."

Because Its plainly obvious that not every cop would do this for Harry, despite the half-brother thing. This isn't a cop thing, its a Kim thing, and Kim *just* met him when you get this check, but he's already willing to die for you no matter what? You could be horrendous to him, and he's still willing to die for you.

Thats Not Mentally Well Behavior, right? Am I wrong for this? Am I doing that thing where I hyperfixate on a character so hard they morph into something else?

People should acknowledge the fact that alcoholism has become a part of Logan’s character in like a genuine way, like yes it’s used jokey in the show but GODDDD it just makes it so clear what direction his character is going in. He is falling apart, he is becoming more and more dependent on destructive coping mechanisms, he’s pushing the light sides away more often and being more friendly with the dark sides and especially Janus, who has showcased a lot of similar traits which Logan seems to be developing, he’s a HYPOCRITE, he’s an ASSHOLE, he’s got issues opon issues!! He is a spiteful alcoholic and the nickname “nerdy wolverine” is becoming a whole lot more literal these days!! And I FUCKING LOVE IT!! DESTROY HIM, MAKE HIM HURT AND HEAL AND DO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, ABANDONMENT IS NOT HIS ONLY ISSUE!! MAKE HIM HATE HIMSELF!!! WRITE HIM LIKE THE MESS HE IS YOU COWARDS

"Aw so cool ur a therian i wish i was a therian ive always wanted to be a parrot" ok then be a parrot.

If you know what a therian is and you want to be one. Then go ahead. Be one. Its ok. Go for it. Be an animal, whos gonna stop you?

"You have to be BORN a therian"

Oh? Fuck you. I wasnt born an agender transmasc selkie actually. I was born as a very annoying little girl.

I thought this whole movement is about the freedom of identity and how who you are at birth isnt set in stone? Or is it just another label for those with the most power in the community to dictate and police?

Isnt that an interesting thought.
