what's important here isn't if eddie was actually going to punch buck or not, is that ryan was playing the scene intentionally violent. what matters here is the violent undertones in the scene are there and were 100% intentional from both the director and ryan guzman.

there's a self-help/mental health adjacent post that's going around and it seems to be really helpful for a lot of people which is very good. I also personally hate it with all my fucking heart
#it's the anhedonia one btw lmao#if i. have to be exposed to one more goddamn cbt-ass advice post in my life. I will start tearing throats out with my teeth#and I will have earned the right to because I've been through the fucking TRENCHES over the years man#I think it's the appeal to urgency at the end however ruefully humorously packaged that ohohoho. really grrrrinds my gears.#this is obviously not what the person is trying to do with that but the unavoidable implication that the reason you might still#be suffering is that you just haven't tried hard enough to change to like things to open your eyes... hey. respectfullly. fuck off#peak advice for mild to moderate symptoms of mental illness thoughtlessly presented as universally applicable#without any consideration for the deeper thing you're saying -- that if someone is in a real bad way and DOESN'T get better#it's their own responsibility and they just haven't tried hard enough. in trying to be kind you are being so desperately cruel#to the people who are struggling the most. bitch I am fucking GREAT at liking things! it's one of my best skills!! I'm generally curious!#my capacity for enthusiasm and intellectual joy over any old thing that strikes my fancy is legendary and often I suspect quite annoying!!!#so when anhedonia completely envelops me I know it's a sign of something else and bigger going on in the background#it's not a choice. the brain is not solely a cognitive machine!! you cannot fix everything that can go awry with it by Thinking Better!!!#cbt must be great for the people it's great for and I'm sincerely genuinely glad for it. less suffering in the world is great#but it is a way of thinking that is a hammer and you just have to hope like fuck your problem is a nail. because otherwise#you're bruised from being beaten with hammers and the additional shame of what's wrong with you that it's not helping#and again I recognize very keenly that this is not a space meant entirely for me. people sharing resources that amn are not about me#is not only fine it's good it's great! however. it'd also be nice to not get thrown under the fucking bus for once#because my presence fully expressed is an uncomfortable reminder of the things we *cannot* control about our own brains lmao#I'm lucky that I've been in the game long enough and have enough resources to start to smell the bullshit here but...#the pain 'losing years' induces in you when you don't have *a fucking choice* -- because it's not a matter of willpower#or positive thinking or changing your mindset. you're just sick. in a way medicine hasn't quite figured out how to help yet.#well. maybe. maybe don't put that on someone huh. maybe don't make their 'lost years' to depression and doomscrolling or whatever#'their own fault'. I kind of think that's possible to do without submitting to doomposting. is all.#(I feel the same about the 'resting vs. rotting' idea. well friend sometimes the best I can hope for is some gentle rotting#thanks for introducing this layer of disgust and condemnation to the general despair. it's added a patina)#this might actually be the first time I've managed to hold on to my own anger about this rather than it getting drowned out by shame tho#which as steps forward go. *sigh* it's not a moon landing is it. but a small step for man nevertheless I suppose

How was Seth levia's colleague if he was a mask? I'm sorry but it doesn't really makes sense to me
He could interact with people while he was being worn by someone (I believe Ichika has a fan comic where he's able to pilot a corpse if I remember right, but idk if that's canon).
The mechanics of it seem a bit odd to me as well but he didn't suddenly become a scientist overnight in the Third Period. If you can accept the notion that he's always been a scientist, and if you can accept that his true form is as a living mask, then surely it's not that big of a stretch that he was one of Levia's colleagues?

"Rhaenyra being usurped had nothing to do with misoginy and her being a woman -"
Tumblr media
"The Greens are not only constituted by misoginystic -"
Tumblr media
"Aegon and Rhaenyra were just as bad and neither deserved to -"
Tumblr media
"George is writing about how Aegon and Rhaenyra were equally bad, not about how misoginy and patriarchy killed a woman and ruined her entire life -"
Tumblr media
"Rhaenyra being murdered has nothing to do with her being a woman, nor is she sexualized even in death-"

my fave hc of goro is that he's actually a raging anime nerd and loser. thoughts?
If I recall correctly that’s basically canon, since he's implied to be a Neo Featherman fan (which is basically the Persona universe’s Power Rangers) so much that his Prince uniform is almost certainly based on the concept, plus his initial weapons are a children’s toy lightsaber and ray gun. He is a massive nerd, bless him
Also tsun Goro that scoffs and insists he’s “not a child” and doesn’t have time for such ridiculous discussions when you bring up Neo Featherman, only to immediately become passionately and aggressively argumentative when you start giving your objectively incorrect Featherman opinions, I—

The point is, education in its truest form, is the foundation of all human endeavors. It is the most noble of all the civilized elements of human consciousness. Education enables the humans to achieve their fullest mental and physical potential in both personal and social life. The ability of being educated is what distinguishes humans from animals. You can teach a cockatoo to repeat a bunch of vocabularies, but you cannot teach it to construct a space shuttle and go to the moon.
Abhijit Naskar, The Education Decree

do you not like the film Jennifer's Body or is ginger snaps just so different in other ways that you don't want to compare the two?
ermm not saying i haven’t been known to reblog a jennifer’s body gifset from time to time but on the whole i don’t think it’s a very good film. despite how people talk about it. that one post that’s like “imagine if jennifer’s body was as good as the tumblr gifsets make it seem.” sorryyy… + the way everyone simply ignores the racism in it….
wrt ginger snaps i think the movies actually are similar in terms of plot beats hence drawing the comparison. but gs excels where jb falls flat for me. so i don’t always love to compare them bc jb is just not on par with gs imo. but it can be a helpful comparison when people want to know what the horror in gs is like cause a lot more people are familiar with jb

idk if i can fully articulate this but i find it like, Interesting how often people seem to flinch away from the notion of a character having a genuine difficulty in academic settings that is caused by Intellect — how often people will seemingly try to get around the idea by writing something that amounts to, like “No this character is Smart, they just struggle with XYZ and if they were Accommodated for that, then they wouldn’t struggle in school” but it’s like,, why do they Have to be ‘smart’ though?
