#and i just think that's kinda girlboss of her

[gold-rhine]

Honestly I don’t get why hoyoverse decided to make Yae bully like all of the characters. Like with Ei it’s fine since it’s an (presumably) immortal character trolling of even more so immortal disaster friend but she like basically force-femmes Gorou which is weird, creepy, and not at all funny, normally Thoma’s line about her isn’t too bad in a vacuum but with how she treats Gorou it’s kinda not good. Of course there’s how she treated Scaramouche when he was basically just born. I didn’t actually know the Sara bit but that’s another strike against her.

It only really works when the character either a. Doesn’t realize they’re being messed with ala Itto or b. She’s battling wits with someone ala Kokomi.

They could’ve made her a tricksy girlboss without making her an utter dick

gorou force-femme thing is obv kink bait, so i dont even hold it against her. its marketing. its less about gorou and more for the subs self-insert to imagine her doing it to them, like lisa mommy bait with electrocution punishment on the side. i dont think its like, well done, but its playful and wink wink nudge nudge enough that like, whatever man.

everything else is kinda yeah. no one is getting off on that, thats just on her. and i don't think its wrong to write cruel petty characters, but the narrative doesn't really address it bc we need to keep her likable bc marketing again.

itd be much more interesting if we actually got into all toxic implication of being possessive ei's pet who immediately tries to remove anyone who can take raiden's attention, to the point of preferring raiden sitting isolated in a room for 500 years and country going into civil war, but yae is raiden's one and only friend and sooooo special

you can like taco without thinking her actions are acceptable or whatever. shes my favorite because shes interesting and she has more to her than just "evil girlboss". shes genuinely interesting to me and YES i know shes evil and hurt other people but theres NO WAY that she does it "for fun" or because she wants to hurt other people!! why does she want the money SO BADLY that shes willing to hurt and KILL other people?? to damage them emotionally?? what makes her that desperate for money?? i know that if she didnt need the money for whatever reason she wouldnt have done that kinda stuff. whats the reason. whats the motive?! shes so interesting i must know more about her like last week -🦇🪐

did you know that when juliet says "wherefore art thou romeo" she's not asking WHERE he is but WHY he is? she's looking up at the sky and being like WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU WHO YOU ARE

I love your idea of Martha and Thomas bring separated in death out of bitterness and spitefulness of both families but I have this idea of Thomas and Martha not being separated because Alfred would have threatened both the Kanes and the Waynes with his shotgun and everyone knew Alfred wasn’t a person that could easily reasoned with when it came to his family

I hear you, and both have such delicous potential for angst, and while I’m sure Alfred would rather eat thunder and spit lighting than give Bruce over, how fucked up would it be if Martha’s brother made him choose?

“Give me my sister, and you keep the boy.”

A ghost for a corpse seems even.

Philip already terminated his custody rights, — it’s the easiest choice he ever made; it’s the hardest choice he ever made, — so he has no say. Only calls Jacob a fucked up son of a bitch, and he can see their mother in him.

It’s not often Alfred loses, but when it happens, it’s fateful, and it’s definitive, and it’s never, never well for the other person. He can’t win, because there’s no winner.

Imagine Bruce, young and scarred and sleepless with grief, staying wide awake. He’s not haunted by his parents’ graves; He’s haunted by the fact they’re empty.

I've been offline for a while due to a combination of being tired and just not feeling like self shipping, and more recently wanting to give all my attention to my partner who'd been visiting 🥺💖💗💖💗 it was amazing, she just left for home and I'm really sad hooough,,

But I'm reminded that I had a very interesting dream the other day where I started shipping with Space Dandy from the anime Space Dandy (again. I shipped with him when I was a teen lol) with an s/i that was my own original alien species and everything! Most interestingly my beautiful partner ALSO ships with Dandy and we've never done a polyship together before so I'm kinda 👀 thinking about rewatchinf it and seeing where this goes...

Wait why do you think Jason would never talk to Barbara if he saw early dickbabs I'm so curious 👀👀

bc the og stuff was shady!! babs was like. a decade older than him and flirted w him when he was a teen. not even bc she was that interested (she had the hots for bruce, which made sense bc they were both Adults lmao) but bc she liked the attention of having a cute teenaged boy fawning over her. honestly she's funny. kinda swag even. but mr "taking advantage of children is bad" todd probably wouldn't agree smh.

[guideaus]

this page is still such a funny moment from guideau. dornez is hyping up her witch crush she puts on a pedestal, who doesnt actually love her, and guideau's just sitting there like wtf are you talking about 😐about what should be a normal thing. truly one of the guideau moments of all time

Macbethposting Friday anyway I am thinking about the come you spirits etc etc and just… the implications of it all. Lady Macbeth’s motivations to do the Thing aka kill Duncan aka have Macbeth be king aka be queen herself are never cleared up and only there to be built with clues. But in any case— whether self-serving or altruistic (wanting it for Macbeth not herself)— it’s something extreme.

Extreme enough to make her want to rid herself of her very nature to achieve it. She’s insane 2 me bc she’s self-aware but not self-aware enough to know that going against who she really is will end terribly. But thing is that she Knows that she, as she is, with the qualities she has Now, won’t be able to do it. She’s desperate enough to say “okay, make me able to do it then. Rid me of my nature. Make it impossible for me to prevent myself.”

Like, the Thing that makes her do it, whatever it is, has to be big enough to get her to That Level and I fear there’s too little talk of… what it could be that also makes sense.
