#Like you know EXACTLY what's happening

[sanguineswanqueen]

One of the things I love about Discworld is how it tackles heavy things without being too... Depressing or graphic. And still maintains an air of hope.

Like in I shall wear midnight, a book with a stated target age of 12 and up, a 13 year old girl gets pregnant out of wedlock and her father beats her so hard she loses the pregnancy and gets knocked unconscious. The father then attempts suicide.

And yet! The book remains suitable for that age group.

I find it incredibly funny seeing some fans complain that the movie wasn't "lore accurate" as if FNAF has ever been consistent with its lore, like

Wow, the movie changes a lot of stuff and is not accurate to what we thought we knew? *looks at The Silver Eyes trilogy* I can't believe that, how horrible *looks at The Silver Eyes trilogy* Who would've thought they'd change stuff that makes us doubt what we know about the series *looks at the fourth fucking closet*

to forgive or forget

more lore for what ive got going on with carnival hero, for those who wanted to know why he doesnt particularly like kinger.

i like to think kinger was working on the code to remove the collars for a hefty amount of time. poor kinger tried so hard to perfect the code to release his people, but it was particularly hard for obvious reasons. he tried it so many times ; and when it finally worked, it was like a miracle. queenie, along with everyone else was overjoyed!

of course, it wasnt entirely perfect. sometimes, things go wrong when you take your excitement for granted. sacrifices get made, sometimes accidentally. the lovely king ends up forgetting about this sacrifice that was made, like he always does. the reason why shes gone fades in his mind like a bruise.

but others dont forget, nor forgive. hero never forgot this unnecessary sacrifice. he understood everything clearly after that. the collars are there for a reason. sometimes its better to be safe, to stay in ones own lane. to stay confined where you belong, where to remain unchanged is promised. for the greater good.

best ending: they talk it out after lewis wins his 8th wdc and we end up with brocedes in each other's lives again. lewis shows up on nico's yt channel. nico is on lewis' insta. vivian dogwalks both of them for letting the divorce last that long. i join the convent because this is clearly a miracle from god and reblog gifsets of brocedes interacting from the chapel. rinse, repeat.

ending we're most likely gonna get: whatever the hell we have now. nico talks about lewis. lewis will say karting is the best time of his career. for two seconds out of the year, lewis will say nico's name. i will sob, rinse, repeat.

worst ending: they shut the fuck up about each other forever. they process the divorce and move on with their lives without each other. i will go on tumblr and reblog angsty web weaves about their relationship and what could've been. i take psychic damage. rinse. repeat.

Can someone who is NOT a zionist tell me why Jewish people have so much conspiracy and hate? when did it start and why? how and why did it spread?

Preferably someone who is jewish or really knows what theyre talking about answer

[cleradinel]

they were insane for writing this 1 minute 25 seconds scene. the juxtaposition of lucas insisting mike obviously likes el so much vs troy and james showing up to say homophobic shit about will is insane.

[ghost-bxrd]

Prompt:

Dick stumbles upon Jason while he’s at his most deranged and sawing heads off people to stuff them into a duffle bag and deliver it gift wrapped to the GCPD.

Dick is sick to his stomach. How can one person be capable of something so atrocious and laugh while doing it!? He needs to get back to the cave. He needs to warn Batman and Robin. This new player isn’t just dangerous, he’s evidently trying to rival his namesake in blood and violence alone and he’s succeeding.

(If Dick hadn’t been too busy keeping his late dinner inside his stomach, he may have noticed the warning creaks of the support beam.

As it is, the chains holding the beam in place snap and Dick goes down. Tumbling straight into the gory mess giving himself a concussion to boot at the Red Hood’s feet.

Shit.)

btw this is probably one of the most insane and telling scenes in regards to stewy nd kendall. like the stewy-marcia interaction first off. the way it’s so clearly paralleling kenstewy with logan and marcia. stewy and marcia literally watch their respective persons in silence. also important to note that stewy was one of the first ppl to greet logan when he arrived probably bc he knew that one of the first things logan was going to do was approach kendall and he wanted to get in there first to gauge the situation + logan. but stewy’s concern for kendall in regards to what could happen when he’s in close proximity to logan is so clear and almost synonymous with marcia’s own concern/love for logan at this point. like it seems intentional that they were shown to be like. logan and kendall’s respective partners here

thinking soft dom ross thoughts because i am. just so. down bad for this man fbrejhlijfr

just imagine he's sprawled out on the sofa on a quiet weekday afternoon, minding his own business. maybe he's even on the console, playing some video games completely unaware of how needy you've been feeling day and how you've been eyeing him in his t-shirt and grey sweatpants... especially when he's manspreading like that... especially when you could just sit between his legs and keep him warm like a good pet.

and that's what he always says doesn't he?

"be my good girl and i'll give you whatever you want"

that's what you're doing now... looking at him with giant fuck me eyes as you settle between his legs and rest your head on his thigh. not like he doesn't immediately clock your intentions but he likes to tease. he likes to watch you fluster and struggle to get the words out.

"what do you want, baby?" and there it is; his voice already holds a tinge of smugness.

"wannakeepyouwarm," you mumble and inch a hand towards the drawstrings of his sweatpants---only to be stopped a second before you can even reach it.

his massive hand is around your wrist, his mouth curled up in a smirk. "louder, baby. you're not getting what you want until you tell me what you want."

so then you really don't have a choice, do you... you try and slightly fail to maintain eye contact but you also want to cockwarm him. and mostly you just want him close, to hear him call you a good girl.

"wanna keep you warm, can i? please?"

his fingers release your wrist gently and this time he lets you undo the drawstrings of his sweatpants, he lets you pull him out while he's only semi-hard. that doesn't matter much to you though, you always love feeling him get harder in your mouth--the burn of your lips as his hard cock stretches your mouth further, the feeling of it hitting the back of your throat as it makes you drool. to lick the tip and taste his precum while he softly strokes your hair.

"go on, baby," ross encourages and his fingers are already in your hair, "always make me feel so good with your mouth. always so obedient and sweet to me."

the praise has you whining at the back of your throat, struggling to fit more of him in your mouth the harder he gets. it's delicious though--the familiar weight of his cock on your tongue, the feel of that one vein that always throbs along his underside. his fingers trace the outline of his cock through your cheek, trace your jaw and the way it stretches to accommodate him.

"you've been desperate all day, haven't you? saw you clenching your thighs before, i was wondering when you'd get too needy..."

your eyes widen at the fact that he saw that but he's always been intuitive about your mood, always known when you're feeling needy and wet and just need a release.

"mmph--" you try but gag lightly as he moves his hips forward.

"shhh, no talking. be good for me, okay? i'll take care of you once i'm done."

and as much as you want him now (because let's face it, you ache all over. especially between your legs and especially when he's so close) you know how good the reward is when you're patient.

so you stay and keep him warm, rest your head on his thigh, and watch him like a love-sick puppy waiting for him to put his console down and pull you on his lap.

So, this parallel, right.

That parallel and the 4x11 shadowpeach fight as a whole:

Macaque: "No that's YOU! You're the one always running off! Looking for more power, more sources of immortality—you're the one who wouldn't quit while were were ahead! Not the great sage, he's got to drag EVERYONE else into his mess!" Sun Wukong: "You're not in this mess, you're still free! Everything I did was for us!" Macaque: "You did it for yourself! You've become like this, obsessive demon! I told you going against the Jade Emperor was a bad idea, but no, Wukong doesn't listen to anyone! He just does whatever he wants! You put yourself here, not me."

(4x11 A Lifetime of Mistakes)

-

A large part of Wukong's motivation to keep getting more power was the freedom of it—the more power you have the easier it is to do whatever you want. It's easier to ignore everyone else and focus solely on yourself. It's also easier to ensure yourself and your loved one's are protected and have the ability to do what they want.

So, a punishment where the great Monkey King is imprisoned and trapped for hundreds of years? It's effective and tragic and fitting. Wukong wanted to have the freedom to protect the people he cared about, and in trying to reach for the power to do that, he completely had his freedom removed. He went from the mountain, to then the circlet, and then all of a sudden he had morals and was bound to those.

And then I think about his end of s3 choice to go face the Lady Bone Demon alone. Once again Wukong was trying to protect his loved ones (not to mention the whole reason he went after the Samadhi fire to begin with was to have the power, the freedom to stop LBD (which in itself is another case of SWK believing he needed to be stronger for such freedom)), but he also wanted to make sure MK and himself both had agency. He didn't want MK to have to fight LBD, and he didn't want LBD to end the world.

This is exactly the sentiment he tells Macaque in the 4x11 flashback:

Sun Wukong: "It's so we don't have to worry about anything or anyone ever again! Just living a lazy life, sitting in the sun, eatin' fruit, and doing whatever we want!"

But where does it all lead him?

To possession, imprisonment. Once again Wukong no longer had the freedom to do what he wanted (which is to protect the people he cares about). Once again in his attempts to help his loved one's, he only hurt them.

This can be applied to his relationship with Macaque, to MK in s2, hell, even Wukong trying to get the map in the first place left him powerless, which then led to him and the gang being imprisoned in 3x02. It's a familiar pattern, one we see with antagonist and protagonist alike.

MK in s2 trained to become more powerful, which in the end only strengthened LBD and forced him and his friends on the run. Mei in 3x12 protects MK by letting herself get captured and placed into LBD's crystal. Mei in 4x05 goes to protect MK, breaking her sword and leaving her vulnerable to being captured by Kui Mulang ("How am I supposed to protect everyone without my sword?"). DBK reached for more power and then became possessed by LBD, hurting his wife and son. Azure reached for the Jade Emperor's power and bound himself to that role, jeopardizing Peng and Yellowtusk in the process.

It's a cycle of reaching for power, endangering others, and then being imprisoned.

So anyways, here's why MK is going to lose control (his agency) next season and hurt his friends with his own- *get's shot*

[tomwaterbabies]

genuinely obsessed with this scene. Romeo KingOfPuppets spends the whole game up until this point desperately trying to communicate with you- all of it amounting to countless failed attempts. every messenger cut down. every word indecipherable to pinocchio who only hears, at the time, garbled nonsense. by the time you arive to strike down the king of puppets he has one final attempt which takes the form of a puppet show. like that's what his desperate final attempt looks like. incredible

Jesper: do you guys ever wanna kiss Kaz just to see if he can do something other then resting bitch face and scheming face

Matthias: no

Nina: yes

*Nina and Matthias stare at each other*

Nina: I love you but I want to know

Matthias: *stares unbelieving for a moment, then shrugs and nods* fair enough

I personally love and obsess over disillusioned and self-isolating protagonists which is one of the reasons why I advocate for a Young Wizard who just leans so much into their role as the Savior that they're now just this broken down individual who now genuinely shares everyone's fears and legends of them of being this Ultra Powerful, Non-Human, Above-All-The-Peasants Legend Amongst Men. Being picked apart and analyzed (INCORRECTLY might I add) by strangers and people who fear/hate/revere you, no matter where you go or what you do, over and over and OVER it just literally whittles away at who you used to be, what used to make you happy and now you're replaced with what everyone made you into. Not You, but a Hero.

But you know what's even better 😈😈😈 a wizard who cracks in a different way and is now just baaaareeely holding it together. A wizard who just is not All There anymore. A wizard who's Good Maybe, but someone who genuinely gives you a GOOD REASON to fear a switch in allegiance. Someone who reminds you that your entire life depends on their mood

Give me Harley Quinn YW, give me a YW who cackles and shrieks in joy as they batter the evil to the ground, give me a YW who pushes at the very edge of the EXTREMES even when they don't need to. I want a YW who doesn't carry around a gleaming sword, or a mystical staff, but a bat with nails studded inside or a rusty machete; I want poems and songs of not a Hero but a wolf in sheep's clothing who just barely gets by in masquerading as the Commoners. An unhinged YW is the second to best Bad Ending you could ever get from this situation and I want everyone to think about this actually
