Finally left Twitter for good because I couldn't stop seeing the "Ed is irredeemable" takes. Like, yeah, in the real world cutting toes off is a bit much, but this is the same show where Ed begs Stede to stab him just because he wants to be held. The show doesn't ask us to take this violence the same way we would irl.
Plus, like. I'm on Ed's side here, obviously. S1e10 frames Ed as the victim in the whole situation. If someone told me to stop fagging it up or they'd call the cops on me again, I don't think I'd react half as patiently. Frankly, I applaud Ed for his restraint. I feel bad that Ed's obviously triggered and deeply hurting, but it still is definitely satisfying to see him get to fight back against a man who abused him and not be a perfect victim, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
Michonne, wait. I've been wanting to say something...It's a broken world, Michonne, and you're the only thing that puts it back together. 'Til my last breath, I am yours.
just something about "you don't get to say that to me".
Not "you're lying" or "I don't believe you" but "I know it's true but you don't get to say that to me" because "I know you love me sure as the sun but you've not yet earned the right to tell me" and "you don't get to say that to me" because "I know you love me as pure as grief but we're not getting over this that easy" and "you don't get to say that to me" because "I know you love me sure as you know that I love you but I don't know if I'm ready to hear it yet" my god this fucking show
sometimes you read posts that are like "blorbo loves pineapple on pizza!" and it's like. well i'm not sure why he's obsessed with it in this fic, but at least there is a canonical scene where he orders hawaiian pizza. inferring it's his favorite food ever is sort of a jump, but there's both evidence that he likes it and no evidence that his favorite food is something different.
and then sometimes you keep seeing "blobo just has the Vibes of someone who mods furbies" and you're like. there is literally an episode where they go to a furby factory and he is indifferent to them AT BEST. there's an entire season with a furby engineer on the team and he actively ignores her. there is lots of evidence that is literally the opposite of this headcanon
i must not stir the pot. stirring the pot is the notifications-killer. participation in the discourse is the little-death that brings total activity obliteration. i will face the bad opinions on the internet. i will permit them to pass over me and through me. and when they have gone past, i will turn the block button onto their source. where the discourse has come from there will be nothing. only i will remain.
genuinely one of the saddest parts of this new era of the internet is how hard it is to rick roll someone now. with people's attention spans shortening so much, they wouldn't even get through the first few bait seconds before clicking off the video. like i saw a comment that ended with "btw i made all of this up" and the replies kept treating it so seriously because none of them finished the entire 4 sentence comment. and We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
