one thing that is fascinating to me about merrill's arc is the way narrative manages to convince a big part of the fandom that she's immature and irresponsible and overall stupid. what we know about merrill and what we actually see on screen is that she successfully avoids possession for 6 years while working closely with a demon, almost every time she participates in some magic/spirit-related discourse she acts calm and confident and has some interesting input, she actively uses her knowledge of dalish lore and tradition to reason with her keeper, and that she actually did make progress with fixing and studying an ancient long forgotten artifact no one knows particularly anything about. but then an old woman who's never been shown to be an undeniably wise and reasonable figure, a guy who got willingly possessed with no awareness of possible consequences and whose whole mindset is still deeply andrastian and a bunch of people who know nothing about magic start judging and doubting her and everyone's like. yeah. she's so fucking dumb.

Hmmm should I trust this text message I got from "United States Postal Service" that came from a number that has the country code of 62 (Indonesia's code) telling me my package was undeliverable and I need to re-put in my personal info by clicking a link that has been abbreviated so I can't see where it directs to or... ?

anyways i fully believe that canonically madara and/or zetsu made her do it with a slave seal because the alternative leaves me too salty to mention.
YESSSSS. I'm of the opinion that while the seal didn't fully control her, it wrecked her ability to think rationally and also probably made her mind fixate on the idea that she had to die or everyone else would.
Either way, the seal having an Effect on her that pushed her to do it makes so much more sense than her (canonically incredibly intelligent and compassionate) not considering the danger she would leave Kakashi in, or the fact that their teacher is a teleporting seal master...

I am extremely sad and miserable and angry today, and I want to do something stupid, but I almost certainly won't, because I think I am mature enough now not to do something stupid, but I can't tell you enough how much I hate it. God I hate it. I hate life. I hate being alive. I wish I had never lived. Where is it all even going? Nothing could possibly be worth this. God damn it.

stupid stupid drama, but I really hate when people call me "girlie" & "baby girl", particularly strangers. like Don't. I don't give a singular fuck how "gender neutrally" you mean it. You don't fucking know me like that.

i cannot recommend publically embarrassing yourself on the internet enough because then you can do and say like pretty much anything and it’ll never feel embarrassing again in comparison

i know the hidden strife event kinda established that kaeya only started wearing the eyepatch after the fight with diluc to hide a scar but. i like the idea that his right eye is different from the other in some khaenri'ah/abyss/curse related way. and that he always kept it hidden even if it wasn't blind exactly (maybe it worked fine, just looked strange? maybe it worked strangely too. im fond of the idea that his right eye has something to do with his spy role. i mean, he has to pass information to the other side, right? that's what being a spy implies.. what better way than having an eye connected to said other side in some nebulous way. anyways this is a very disarticulated thought and i digress). i also like the idea that said eye is still scarred, and that diluc, in that fit of rage, aimed at it on purpose lol

Have picked up some new tumblr followers recently, some of whom aren't even pornbots (I KNOW!) so I thought I should clear up a thing I almost never bother to actually explain.
This:
is Default Hawkeye. To distinguish him from Arrows Hawkeye, star of several things that I... mostly haven't actually got round to watching yet (he was in the first Thor film, wasn't he? I've seen that! More than once, even!) but I have seen many giftsets of Arrows Hawkeye and I have a friend IRL who I occasionally ask to remind me whether or not he is Deaf in the MCU. (And then I forget almost immediately and have to ask again. And again. And...)
But Default Hawkeye remains my default association with the name, which is occasionally confusing though nowhere near as confusing (and disturbing) as the fact that my default "Chris Evans" is still Billie Piper's ex. *the yikes emoji goes here but I can't find it rn*
