[romyy999]

Smettila di sentirti sbagliata, incapace, indietro rispetto agli altri,

smettila immediatamente perché non sei nulla di tutto ciò,

anzi sei tanto,

vali tanto,

devi solo avere la forza di riuscire a credere in te e vederlo.

Io parlo sempre molto, cioè pronuncio molte parole, e non mi riesce mai niente.

E perché dico una quantità di parole e non mi riesce mai niente?

Ma perché non so parlare.

Fedor Dostoevskij, I demoni

[madreorchessa]

Grande la mia incapacità gestionale: mi dicono "È successa la cosa X", oppure "C'è il problema Y", o ancora "Abbiamo riscontrato i dati Z" - espressioni che per me non hanno proprio alcun senso - allorché io tiro fuori la mia migliore espressione saputa e offro l'unica proposta che pur non essendo mai una soluzione diretta è, però, una risposta sempre ben accetta "Uau, mi sa proprio che dovrò fare un po' di straordinari, allora."

Perché che Gondrano, l'eroe del popolo, fosse stupido in fin dei conti non importava a nessuno.

(Scopo ora che "Gondrano" come traduzione italiana di "Boxer" non è poi così diffusa).

C'era una volta Ambra (nome di fantasia), una ragazza che ad un certo punto della sua giovinezza, in un soleggiato mese d'agosto, ha iniziato a stare male, a sentirsi inutile, vuota, incapace a fare qualsiasi cosa anche ciò che prima era orgogliosa di saper fare, senza energie né voglia di alzarsi dal letto, tantomeno poi le riusciva il creare relazioni con gli altri, le sembrava solo di combinare danni e dare sempre fastidio... Ha pianto per settimane, finché un giorno decise di parlarne ai genitori, i quali però le risposero che esagerava ed era solo timida e pigra, pianse ancora ma non si perse d'animo e provò a parlarne con un amico di famiglia, il quale le rispose che era colpa sua, che non si stava impegnando abbastanza "manchi di volontà!" diceva... "basta che sorridi e si risolverà tutto" diceva... Lei non riusciva neanche ad alzare le punte delle labbra per sorridere, troppa energia, si chiuse ancora di più e pianse ancora e ancora, ma poi decise di scrivere alla sua amica più cara, la quale le rispose che c'erano cose più gravi per cui stare male e per cui piangere o avere ansia, e Ambra si chiuse ancora ancora e ancora, fino a che le lacrime non le uscivano neanche più... Decise che da quel momento sarebbe rimasta in silenzio, ma non durò a lungo, così prese di nuovo tutto il coraggio che aveva e chiese ai genitori di poter andare da uno psicologo, ma si trovò ancora le porte sbarrate da un "non ne hai bisogno,mica sei pazza!". Ambra continuò a chiudersi e piegarsi su se stessa, serrata da muri sempre più spessi che si era costruita piano piano per sfuggire al mondo, "bunker" li aveva soprannominati, perché così si sentiva, rinchiusa dentro una vita che non riusciva né a capire né a cambiare, un bunker così profondo che nessuno riusciva ad arrivare per tenderle una mano. Finisce così la storia di Ambra, con lei che va sempre più giù e affoga nel suo dolore, in un bunker di dolore buio e forse troppo profondo per essere salvata o quantomeno vista...

POV: you're a Gotham cop checking on Bruce Wayne for his alibi because some shit happened at some rich gala, as he was gone when he had been there earlier.

Also, me introducing my headcanon that Dick used to have fun doing Bruce's makeup, because he grew up in the circus where performers put on a ton of colorful makeup. It's always some very sparkling makeup too. The other batkids didn't know about that (except for Tim because he is a stalker), until an old picture of Bruce, wearing the sparkling makeup Dick puts on him, was found. It was neither Bruce or Dick's goal to hide it from the fam, they just never brought it up. Since then, Steph and Cass has fun putting makeup on Bruce sometimes.

Needing to ask the real questions: How did MC taking Miranda to meet their parents go? Like they went off to university and suddenly they have a wife who looks at least twice their age and a kid 😂 Was Miranda amiable, or simply tolerant?

She actually was so desperate to make them like her because MC stressed their importance to them that she ended up throwing up at the dinner table

You know what's interesting to me? For all people keep claiming at every juncture that perhaps Bells Hells will come around on the gods and see the harm they do (which, as discussed extensively, is, half the time, simply not intervening) not only have they never done so, but also they never quite cross the line into saying the party should join the Ruby Vanguard or aid them - and indeed, they defend against it - so what does this achieve? It feels like they're asking for a story in which the party stands idly by, which isn't much of a story nor, if I may connect this briefly to the real world, a political stance anyone should be proud of.

That's honestly the frustration with the gods and the "what if the Vanguard has a point" conversations in-game. What do we do then? Do we allow the organization that will murder anyone for pretty much any reason that loosely ties into their goals run rampant? The group that (perhaps unwittingly, but then again, Otohan's blades had that poison) disrupted magic world-wide, and caused people who had the misfortune to live at nexus points to be teleported (most, as commoners, without means of return). While also fomenting worldwide unrest?

Those were the arguments before the trip to Ruidus; with the reveal of the Vanguard's goals to invade Exandria, the situation becomes even more dire. Do you let the Imperium take over the planet?

And do the arguments against the gods even hold up? If Ludinus is so angry at them for the Calamity, what does it say that he destroyed Western Wildemount's first post-Calamity society for entirely selfish means? (What does it say about the validity of vengeance as a motivator?) What does it say that Laudna told Imogen she could always just live in a cottage quietly without issue before the solstice even happened? (Would this still be true if the Imperium controls the world?) What does it say that when faced with a furious, grieving party and the daughter she keeps telling herself was her reason for all of this, Liliana can't provide an answer to the question of what the gods have done other than that their followers will retaliate...for, you know, the Vanguard's endless list of murders. (That is how the Vanguard and Imperium tend to think, huh? "How dare your face get in the way of my boot; how dare you hit me back when I strike you.") She can't even provide a positive answer - why is Predathos better - other than "I feel it", even though Imogen and Fearne know firsthand that Predathos can provide artificial feelings of elation. Given all the harm Ludinus has done in pursuit, why isn't the conclusion "the gods should have crashed Aeor in such a way that the tech was unrecoverable?"

Even as early as the first real discussion on what the party should do, the fandom always stopped short of saying "no, Imogen's right, they should join up with the people who killed half the party," it was always "no, she didn't really mean it, she just was trying to connect with her mother." Well, she's connected with her mother, and at this point the party doesn't even care about the gods particularly (their only divinely-connected party member having died to prevent the Vanguard from killing all of them). So they will stop the Vanguard; as Ashton says, the means are unforgiveable. As Laudna says, it's not safe to bet on Predathos's apathy. As Imogen says, she's done running; the voice that she used to think of as a lifeline belongs to someone she doesn't trust. So I guess my question is: if they're stopping the people who are trying to kill the gods (and defense of the gods isn't remotely their personal motivation)...do you think the next phase of the campaign is Bells Hells personally killing the gods? Reconstructing the Aeor tech and hoping none of their allies notice? How does this end? Does your ideology ever get enacted? Or is this entirely moot and pointless and the story ends with Bells Hells saying "well, I'm really glad we stopped the people who [insert list of Vanguard atrocities from above]; none of us follow the gods or plan to, but honestly, the status quo we return to is preferable to whatever nightmare Ludinus had concocted in his violent quest for power and revenge"?

Una rana nuota tranquilla in una pentola d’acqua fredda. Sotto la pentola c’è un fornello con il fuoco acceso e l’acqua comincia a intiepidirsi. La rana rimane lì, a godersi quel piacevole tepore. Ma la fiamma continua a scaldare l’acqua, la temperatura sale ancora e la rana, seppure stia iniziando a soffrire il caldo, non si muove, non scappa. Quando la temperatura è ormai diventata insostenibile la rana non ha più le forze per saltare via, salvarsi, ed è destinata a morire bollita.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO POST THIS ONE HERE BUT UM

So last week I went to see les mis for the first time (Sondheim theater, London). And being the obsessed person I am, I bought the obligatory programme. And this is inside

Was any of you planning to tell me this one or was I really supposed to find out by myself

It’s true that they didn’t hide Kat’s pregnancy very well. At the same time - I actually love the fact they didn’t. I love the fact that she just looked like she put on a lot of weight and no one even made an issue out of it. Think about what would have happened if the creator and showrunner for WEARP wasn’t a woman.

More specifically - wasn’t Emily Andras. How do you think they would have addressed that “problem”? Because it would very much be a problem to them.

I can tell you how immediately: “You can’t do the job.”

Kat is pregnant, not incapacitated. But I guarantee you if it was anyone else that did this special that they would have behaved as if pregnancy was incapacity.

Emily did the opposite and said: “Your character ate too many lemon scones and that is completely fine.”

Because fat characters are fine.

And pregnant actors are fine.

It’s not a problem. It’s not incapacity. It’s human nature. And the fact they didn’t bother to hide it well…

👌

Kat got a fucking job and Nicole got to be a Fat Amy.

And I think that’s fucking awesome! Good on Andras!

AND… I also very much guarantee you that that off-screen WayHaught sex scene wouldn’t have been off-screen if Kat hadn’t been pregnant during the filming. So what’s even more amazing is that Emily sacrificed what would have been “necessary representation” to the fans so Kat wouldn’t have to take off her clothes.

WEARP is a gay IP targeted primarily to gay people. They would have absolutely tried to one-up 4x02. So the only conceivable reason why they didn’t was that. Putting the priority on the safety and comfortability of Kat over “WLW representation” points with the fans is an honourable, respectful and admirable thing to do.

So instead we got a pretty passionate intimacy scene between WayHaught that we were cut away from in exactly the same way as we were with the WynDoc intimacy scene. But I absolutely can guarantee you that were Kat not pregnant when filming the special - it would have been more than that because… in that case… Emily would have prioritised the fandom needs. That most definitely tells me straight away that what was most important to Emily Andras (and Tubi as well) throughout this venture with ‘Vengeance’ was how safe and secure the cast was in coming back to do it.

And I don’t know about you guys but I absolutely think that’s much more worth having than a sex scene. So if there’s any fans that are disappointed about that…

There’s your answer. Take it or leave it.
