I'm so tired of hearing that Phoenix saved Miles without hearing about any of its implications.
Because Phoenix's savior complex is a major problem not a solution. Because Wrightworth is not about Phoenix saving Miles, it's about them saving each other. Because in Farewell My Turnabout, Miles Edgeworth said "We aren't some sort of heroes. We're only human." and he was right.

I was feeling like a bit of slightly-angsty isolation this thursday, so...
AU where, instead of a double transmigration happening, RokSoo transmigrated to ogCale's body, but ogCale was put into a newly made double of his body and confined into a dimension pocket.
And just, no one knows about it and he can't get out until certain conditions are reached. For example: that someone finally gets rid of WS.
Luckily for him, RokSoo and company are rather fast to kill the white star. It only took them two years, way better than in his previous timeline.
Although, those are still two years in which og!Cale, the 40-year-old war soldier turned an 18-year-old time-traveler, had to spend trapped in that place. Completely alone except for the occasional god checking on him, and a few animals a god had the kindness to let for him. (It was Loki, but no one is going to call him out).
Og!Cale is a person who loves easily and deeply but, contrary to his true nature, someone who lived through decades without deep boundaries to gave him feedback. Whether it was during the war that took everyone he knew from him, or before that, with the family he choose to stay at distance and love them from the side-lines. He lived so long without feeling genuine care, making any emotional bond that isn't one-sided, that he's hungry for them.
Being in the past, where everyone he loves hadn't died yet, where they will live, and being so close— just a dimensional door away, really— but not being able to see them, hear them, nor even talk to them... It hurts.
He's happy and so, so glad. They're alive. They can laugh and eat and breath again— and, someday, he will see them again. Even if they don't know how to act with him and is uncomfortable. Even if, most probably, they don't know he's not there and don't miss him, he will see them again.
So, yeah, he's fine with this situation. He accepted this.
That doesn't mean that the waiting doesn't suck. He, a freedom loving person, trapped in the godly version of a safehouse. Most of the days it's only he, his thoughts and the ridiculous massive library Athena managed to fit in here. And his friends, the animals, of course.
Inside of that lonely place, of course, Cale gets attached to the animals that are by his side everyday. He was already an animal lover, to begin with. The little guys who just go through their lives being absolutely adorable and are more loyal than most people around... How can he not love them?
Besides, Athanasia, the griffin, gives the best cuddles he has ever had.
He gets used, eventually. It's not like he never had lived in a big house where the only beings around wouldn't speak more than three words to him. (Well, at least the animals try to talk with him. He just needed to learn what they mean.)
And Cale can do whatever he wants here. If he wants to play the violin or paint, do acrobatics or keep his training, he can just do it. There's no need to hide. No need to restrain himself.
There's no one here to get sad at her memories. No one to spread rumors about 'skills' or 'talents'. No one to turn his interests into weapons against his own family by comparing Bassen to him.
Eventually, it feels like a different kind of freedom here.
—And then he gets out.

Hreavsvelgr: gets a wing ripped off by Nidhogg
Me: Oh shit
Hreavsvelgr: the battle isn't over yet camera zooms on his eye who's actually missing only to show it in front of WoL
Me: OH SHIT !!!
Piano starts playing
Children of the Land, do you hear ?
Echoes of Truth that once were clear
Two souls entertwined, one true love they did find
Bringing land and heavens near
Me: Nope, I'm not going to cry. We have a wyrm to kill and a friend to save.
After-fight cutscenes happens:
Me: floodgates opens

Yom HaShoah (the Jewish/Israeli day of holocaust remembrance) is upon us. I was looking for interesting or informing posts to reblog, I mean there is always a lot to say about the rise of antisemitism or the violence Jewish communities keep facing nearly 80 years after the holocaust, and like... what's a better time than right now? It's literally the remembrance day for the holocaust, the most brutal act of hatred and violence and antisemitism in the modern times! A systematic mass murder, the destruction of centuries old communities!
The word "genocide" was invented after these atrocious and vile actions against human beings, actions that happened just 80 years ago. When you look at the vast history of the world, these crimes are so close to us, there are still holocaust survivors living with us today!
These are all facts, and yet people have doubted them for all of this time. Fuck, people continue to doubt them to this day! Doubts that keep growing and rising, doubts that grow into "alternative facts" which in turn grow to hatred and more antisemitism and more ignorance and more violence in a cycle I thought have stopped in 1945.
So when I was looking for more coherent posts that say exactly that - I found way too many antisemitic users spreading lies and hatred against my people, the Jewish people. I don't know what to say to that. I'm just sad and broken in more ways than I thought I would be today.
Antisemitism is here to stay, I guess. These voices are too loud, unafraid to be heard, roaming not just the internet but that's their base these days. These horrible posts will circle around, not just in the right wings but in the left as well, until someone decides to act on them and murder a Jew just because of their identity. It's 2023 and the past has taught us nothing.
I'm not naive anymore, I'm not hopeful. The world is a violent place, more than it used to be when I was a child. I'm scared, I truly am.
Never again, am I right?

Happy birthday, Clem 🌟 (I hope I’m not late to the party!)
How about a round of fuck, marry, thrill? (no killing required 🤭)
- Sir Thomas Sharpe
- Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy
- Thor Odinson
HI HI HI !!!!!!! omg hi 🤭🤭🤭🤭 you are not too late my love!! just in the midst of the party <33
NO KILL REQUIRED !! god bless. i love how it is very clear we are both on a Thomas Sharpe spree (thank you for the blessed crimson peak content on my dash it was time for a rewatch and it was blessed)
OKAY LETS SEE
Thrill... Mr Darcy i dont know. i wouldnt want to marry him, and i dont think i want to fuck him either, but a little something in between. fun vibes all around yknow
Fuck Sir Thomas Sharpe ABSOLUTELY ok despite my belief i am not any better than Edith and I too would have fallen for that man's STUNNING face and sweet voice and pretty soft eyes. he's sooo mysterious and alluring.... but no yeah i would fuck him. i want to ruin him. i will not fall into the trap of his tragedy but perhaps a good fuck can help him escape
Marry Thor okay this was a hard one and truly i would normally say I'd fuck Thor and marry Thomas Sharpe but. idk. first of all, Thor is always easy access to Loki (not that i would ever betray Thor in any shape way or form i would die for Thor) but. yknow. Loki. and also, Thor is just such a fun vibe. like i want to do the most crazy batshit stuff ever with him. he's an enabler and so am i. "do you want to climb the Eiffel tower together?" buddy i will not be the one to tell you no!!! lets go. "should i really be spending all this money on books...seems a bit much..." "mortal life is short! and joyous moments are fleeting! cherish them when you can" "well you dont have to tell ME twice" we'd be unstoppable. who am i to turn down his ideas and who is he but the best husband to enable all my bad choices !!!! Anyway. Yeah no Thor would be such a vibe. i don't think i'd ever romantically love him, but it would be a happy marriage nonetheless. Perhaps he will hook me up with his fine ass brother. perhaps this marriage was a silly accidental drunk cliche idea after an Avengers trip to vegas even when we BOTH know im only eyeing Loki sinfully and it just becomes one big miscommunication but its all silly games. idk idk idk you tell me.
