#and it’s entirely his own fault

[moreespressoformydepresso]

I’m currently Very Pissed because Krita sucks rn so is anyone interested in a no Hunger Games AU about Snow losing everything because he’s a terrible partner and every person he marries leaves him? Which ends up destroying his career?

i recently picked up the sims (4) for the first time and. Like finding shapes in the clouds, I’m high-key loving the way random game elements crash together to occasionally produce actual coherent story-beats

i really think the fandom kind of glosses over the trauma annabeth endured in ttc. like, the poor girl fell off the side of a cliff, was manipulated into holding the literal weight of the sky on her shoulders for hours, and (if i remember correctly) was tied up at one point. but this is all we can be certain happened because that's all of what percy saw. but what about what we didn't see? the poor girl probably spent the first few days immobilized and in so much physical pain once artemis took the sky from her. she was probably starved, or at the very least, not getting the amount of food and water she needed consistently. she probably spent most of her nights in an endless cycle of torment knowing that her friends were coming for her, but not knowing how long it would take them to find her. she probably quietly cried herself to sleep knowing the reason she was even in this mess was because of luke. i could go on and on, but you get my point.

I’m going to be so real with everyone for a sec: lando would have probably finished in p3 if mclaren had just told him to give the place back, or immediately encouraged him to build a five second gap after the overtake. instead they acted like they were OBVIOUSLY in the right and even went as far to preen on the radio about it instead of actually doing their job as a pitwall and realising that that was going to result in a five second penalty. this whole fiasco alone proves that they need to fire they entire strategy department if they’re going to be serious about being a formula 1 team.

I think one of my favorite parts about Year One is the fact that despite all the genuinely horrible aspects of Jon's backstory, his life only gets actually completely ruined by something that's entirely his actual fault! I feel bad for the guy but he totally deserved to be fired for the handgun stunt he pulled!

there is a difference between being born to a throne, maliciously vying for a throne, stealing a throne, and having a throne thrust upon you when you are already in the midst of an identity crisis. And I fear Loki's place in the line of succession has people unable to differentiate between any of these

I think what's getting me about the ending, more than how bittersweet they are is just that (endgame spoilers lool)

There's just no trust. Whoever the player sides with (and you HAVE to side with one of the them, no way out for you) just illustrates that Verso and Maelle don't trust that the other will follow through if they decide to listen.

Maelle can't trust Verso to not destroy the painting while she's gone to recuperate (and she's right). Verso can't trust Maelle to actually leave the painting after ostensibly fixing things up. (and how long would that even take? A day? A week? A year? Real world time or canvas time?)

And it makes me think back to their final relationship conversation, where Verso can either lie or be truthful about whether he let Gustave die. I was bothered by how subdued Maelle's reaction was, and eventually chalked it up to her putting it behind them. For context I chose to tell her the truth.

But I think whatever you chose, Maelle had already made up her mind about what Verso was capable of, and what she was planning to do with her life. She had already figured out that she can't trust him - he had already left everyone Lumiere to die instead of giving her Alicia's letter, telling her that shes' Alicia. (Maybe at first she still wanted to trust him. She understood why he did what he did, but by that point she asks about Gustave, she's made up her mind) And she'd already proven that, when push comes to shove, she's not going to listen to what Verso has to say, even about him not wanting to be alive anymore. Killing Alicia was a kindness to her, but she didn't let Verso even say goodbye. Yeah, it was her (Alicia/Maelle) decision, but to Verso it must've felt like he didn't matter.

He was just another portrait of her brother she couldn't lose.

And it kills me that they couldn't trust each other enough to reach a compromise, but they'd already made their decision long before their fight.

stg, being an enjoyer of jane twdg is like being forced into an expert-level course on the way misogyny manifests in video game spaces.

god forbid a woman be complex or difficult or provably mischaracterized (see tags) at the end of her arc to service the culmination of a man’s storyline.

How have we still not figured out that hating another girl because your ex cheated on you with her is exactly what your stupid ex wants. You guys should both be hating on him and also kissing each other

anyway i actually sort of think that if dean didnt take sam having his own life as a personal insult, he wouldnt have killed amy pond

Every single fucking thing about Joey’s character makes sense when you consider he has internalized that physical abuse is a good thing

Thinking about me and the boyfriend. Cuddling with the boyfriend. Tracing his tattoos while we sit/lay together. Listening to him bitch about his sister and about how hardddd and annoying everything is. Big baby/j

everybody that's desperate to dunk on dubas is missing the compelling point of the whole dubas thing.... him actually wanting to be here, but being forced out because of a misstep... watching a team he literally had a hand in building come together for each other like this and add to his own problems... having to logically be in it with the pens but. you can't just turn your feelings off about this team that you raised and that raised you..... like it's devastating and delicious

ngl it sort of pisses me off the way adults regard Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen at times. Which could be a very interesting and poignant point in a good way if well written, but as it is it becomes mainly just frustrating and sad in a negative way.

Nanami saying Gojo never cared about anything or anyone other than himself crashes interestingly with Kusakabe saying the whole situation was just all his fault because he refused to kill Itadori. The students are very aware of those aspects of Gojo's personality, but overall they seem to regard him with way more kindness and fondness even when at their rudest, not truly coinciding with either Nanami's or Kusakabe's views.
