ppl are too quick to point to laios' disability as the reason his friends think he's a freak sometimes. so many instances of laios getting yelled at are, in my eyes, a case of "this guy had to emotionally mature very early in order to be there for his little sister" combined with "much older friends who never had to learn to manage their own emotions to the same degree"
a lot of the time he's right about needing to be more direct/deal with things in a way that may seem scary/needing to put your gut reaction aside. he tries not to make his friends uncomfortable and he puts up with a lot because he's trying to keep the peace, but he also pushes the others out of their comfort zones purposefully to try to get them to think more constructively. everyone else in the party is prone to acting on their gut instincts and avoiding uncomfortable situations even when facing them head-on is very much necessary. part of what makes laios such a great leader is the fact that he knows from experience how to put his own feelings aside to help someone else grow.
yes, he does make a lot of social blunders by accident and he does struggle to connect with others, but not all of his positive influence on others is accidental or "despite" making people uncomfortable. a lot of the time, I think it's clear he knows exactly what he's doing and he's trying to help the people around him process emotions in a healthy way as they all go through some truly harrowing shit. all the main characters support each other as well as they can with their unique emotional skillsets. laios' skillset just happens to be "gently talk child into eating her vegetables"
#deerchatter#dungeon meshi#laios touden#of course this IS also connected to his disability. bc having an iron grip on your own emotional reaction is often needed to survive#in an ableist society. and he wouldn't have had to parent falin so much if the two of them hadn't been ostracized growing up#but the point of the post is that laios is a lot more emotionally intelligent than his party (or many fans) realizes#he's not just stumbling ass-first into being helpful he is clearly applying a skillset that is direly lacking in his friends#marcille and chilchuck in particular haaaaate uncomfy situations and are under the impression that if smth Feels bad then it Is bad.#and senshi avoids so many situations and feelings because of his trauma that he's been unable to grow past it on his own#this post was particularly inspired by the griffin meat scene. everyone else suggests senshi just avoid his trauma forever#and they're absolutely shocked when laios suggests senshi try to grow and overcome his pain bc. That Sounds Scary. lol#so many of the story's themes revolve around overcoming your own impulses and biases#and laios is uniquely suited to leading that change.#r.i.p. laios/toshiro friendship you guys have so much more in common than you realize

viago "fashion police" de riva
#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age fanart#lucanis dellamorte#andarateia cantori#viago de riva#illario dellamorte#rook de riva#rook datv#Marisol de Riva#i saw a post once upon a time that mentioned Viago was probably appalled by the mercenary rags Rook was wearing lol and kept that head cano#another scene from the fanfic i have in my head lmao#in my HC story for Marisol the recruitment missions go a little different to kind of take away the game-ified aspect#once in the lighthouse Marisol reaches out to Viago (though lol she does wait for a bit because she got kicked out so she's still upset)#Caterina has been keeping her people watching the Ossuary for any changes because she's been slowly connecting the pieces over the past yea#solas's ritual and other stuff happens and the location gets revealed and weakened etc#rook gets in contact with a letter and a candelhop for viago to use to contact her#bc that's how i'm hc'ing that they get messages in the fade lolol#Caterina approaches Viago with a coded contract packet to send to Rook and the contract is basically to breach the Ossuary#and rescue an imprisoned Crow (Rook is unaware Lucanis is “dead” since she was gone and the contract keeps it vague)#but there's the implication it's someone important since Caterina wants to stage a rescue#the packet with info on the Ossuary also ties the operations happening there with the red lyrium artifacts they've been hunting in Minratho#and the appearance of abominations that aren't like any they've encountered before#so going to the Ossuary ALSO is important to the 'stop the Old Gods' plot#BUT ANYWAY that's why this comic reads like she's just seen Viago again despite having Lucanis with her#and also Lucanis was dirty and naked etc in the Ossuary got temp armor and clothes from an inn keep once they escaped#Illario ALSO moved his plan to attack the Diamond after Zara accidentally let it slip that Lucanis was still alive#he'd been fully operating under the assumption that Lucanis was dead for the past year and was plotting to like...#try to stage things to gain favor with Caterina because she still wasn't budging#but then he overhears Zara yelling at Calivan in a magic mirror or some shit that the Ossuary is being breached and Lucanis has escaped#so Illario panicks and directs the venatori attack on the Diamond and kidnaps Caterina so he can have JSUT A LITTLE LONGER to figure it out

Will never get over how Starscream and Skyfire's relationship is always doomed. There's never an iteration of them where they both stay on the same side at the end. They always end up being against each other, tearing each other apart (whether intentionally or not). They always end up losing each other, be it by a snowstorm, by the war, or by death itself. They never receive a happy ending together, one if not both of them is doomed to suffer.
Skyfire is doomed to be an Autobot, by forces out of his control. Starscream is doomed to be an Decepticon, by his own self destructive tendencies. They are both doomed, because of who they are. They always try to save the other, in their own way. But it never works. They are doomed to fail, whether they stay together or not.
#Starscream and skyfire are parallels of optimus and Megatron. do you understand me.#believing in someone when no one else did. seeing something worth supporting when no one else did. being the one person they trust.#they both ended up being torn apart by the war and their own ideals. losing each other because of their conflicting views.#one became an autobot and the other became a decepticon. one of them must fall.#i have lots of feelings about them yknow.#doomed yaoi shit going on here#will never get over how much g1 starscream cared about skyfire. like. he kept trying to have skyfire stay by his side#he was still a shitty guy and treated skyfire like shit but there was genuine care and emotion under it all. he still cared#i need a universe where they get to reconcile. where they get to be happy. pull an earthspark and let them be friends again#i need a skyfire who learns to love and accept post-war Starscream. i need a Starscream who despite everything still want skyfire with him.#i need them not to be doomed but rather learn and grow. accept the flaws and faults of the past and learn to move on#can you tell i love skystar#can you tell i love them#skyfire#jetfire#starscream#transformers#transformers g1#g1 transformers#the fire burns#skystar

me: to really understand the tragedy Maximus bears throughout Gladiator, we have to take into account the fact that his entire worldview is based on the idea that Marcus Aurelius was a good man and that everything Maximus had done up until that point was in the service of an empire whose values he could trust and support. I would even argue that, excluding the loss of his wife and son, the greatest loss Maximus has to grapple with is the loss of his unswerving belief in the goodness of Rome. once he sees its corruption and becomes its victim, he has to reevaluate everything he's ever done and believed in, which affects not only his desire to free Rome from tyranny but also—
the burglar who broke into my house: his guilt about his role in the fate of Rome and his service to a man who was indirectly the cause of all this corruption?
me: exactly. now,
#i just kinda think that maximus is tragic in even more ways than we give him credit for#like obviously the loss of his wife and son is the primary tragedy and the main grief of his heart through the movie#but even more than the death of marcus aurelius is the fact that maximus has to reconcile the marcus he knew and loved and trusted#with the marcus who (1) allowed rome to focus on conquest rather than progress#(2) neglected his own son and indirectly caused rome to fall under the tyranny of a dictator#and (3) is both the opponent and perpetrator of many of the evils maximus has to bear#maximus has always imagined rome as a golden place filled with light#and he has to go through quite a painful enlightening#to see that rome is corrupt and brutal and dark much like he considered the barbarians#and what an incredible thing that maximus begins fighting alongside and allying with the very barbarians he used to conquer!#juba and haken would have been his enemies if they were not his fellow gladiators#and he becomes their brother in defiance of the roman emperor (an office he has always served)#the battle of carthage is INCREDIBLE because maximus is not only winning the victory humiliating commodus introducing himself as a champion#but ALSO showing that he has ZERO love for rome by becoming the leader of the “barbarian horde” and defeating the roman competitors#it's a statement just as his removal of his tattoo is a statement#i just. think this movie is amazing and i love it so much#and i love maximus so much more knowing he has to overcome so much more tragedy than is immediately apparent#he has to overcome his own devastation and disillusionment to find himself again#and it's in finding his quest for revenge and redemption that he accepts the past and creates a new future#literally MARRY ME SIR#gladiator#maximus#maixmus decimus meridius#gladiator 2000#russell crowe#text posts

SET SIX - ROUND ONE - MATCH THREE

"Electric Fan (Feel it Motherfuckers): Only Unclaimed Item from the Stephen Earabino Estate" (1997 - John Boskovich) / "Untitled" (Portrait of Ross in L.A.)" (1991 - Félix González-Torres)
ELECTRIC FAN (FEEL IT MOTHERFUCKERS): it makes me literally insane that’s all that’s left of him and he made sure it would stay remembered, something something the last trace of a breath immortalized the only way it could be. Feel it, motherfuckers. (courfeyracs-swordcane) (also submitted by callixton and weeweewhirlwind)
UNTITLED (PORTRAIT OF ROSS IN L.A.): It fucks me up SO MUCH. The artist's partner was named Ross, and died of AIDS in the same year this was created. The ideal weight is roughly the average of an adult man. The allegory there... people taking the candy, decreasing the weight, the same way people took away from Ross and every other victim of the AIDS crisis by refusing to help, to do anything at all. Except this has an "endless supply" of candy. People can take and take and it keeps coming back. They can't get rid of us forever. We will prevail and we will rebuild and I WILL be fucked up about this forever (ceaseless-rambler)
("Electric Fan (Feel It Motherfuckers): Only Unclaimed Item from the Stephen Earabino Estate" is an electric fan encased in plexiglass with vinyl faux etching and a plexiglass base with casters by gay American artist John Boskovich--Stephen Earanbino's partner. It was the last item left in Stephen Earabino's estate after his death by AIDS and measures 56 7/8 x 22 3/4 x 12 1/2 in. (144.5 x 57.8 x 31.8 cm). It is held by The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
"Untitled (Portrait of Ross in LA)" is a modern art installation consisting of wrapped candies (constantly removed and replaced) by gay Cuban-American artist Félix González-Torres after the death of his partner, Ross, by AIDS. The weight is equivalent to a healthy human male - approximately 175 lbs (79kg). It is located at the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago.)
#art that fucks you up tournament#polls#atfyu polls#id in alt text#did you know wikipedia has an entire page on Art of the AIDS Crisis#i am SO sorry about this matchup. like genuinely. i am torn.#GOD i cannot express how these two make me feel#feel it motherfuckers. feel his breaths. take the candy and know that we are always coming back. that is him and he is here.#idk how to insert this information but john boskovich was not left anything by his lover's family. the refusal of his love by others...#he only got the fan because no one else wanted it. more in the rbs under my main though.#ross in LA has a lot more propaganda but we're going to cycle it. if it doesn't make it past this round we'll post it all.

genuinely, it's so funny to me when jon.elias shippers hate j.mart for the specifically stated reason that "martin isnt good for jon". Yes, the guy with realistic flaws and traits that occasionally create conflicts with Jons own flaws and traits is bad for him, so jmart is toxic. Jon deserves someone who treats him right.
In fact, you know who's good for Jon? The person who effectively used him as a puppet, made a plan centered on scarring him for life 13 times and executed it without remorse, then used his body to end the world, an experience so horrifying that Jon would rather literally kill everyone on earth than risk someone else feeling it too. Now that's a guy Jon deserves!
#not gonna maintag this#i feel like over text this sounds angrier than i mean it#because like. i dont care if you prefer jonelias over jonmartin#have fun with it i can see the appeal even if i don't personally enjoy it#but the specific reason that jonelias would be better -IN CANON- because Martin is bad for Jon.....#lol. lmao. rofl even.#it's such a specific reading of the text#its very... dramatic. jmarts conflicts arent dramatic. they're mundane. thats why they bother people#but marking someone and using them to end the world... that's Drama. Fantasy. doesnt really count as a real life horrible thing to do#spurred on by a recent post but it's an argument ive seen several times#i get that in a more nebulous sense the je argument is that Elias like... pushes Jon to reach his full potential. or understands him#on a deeper level or smthn#it's just. like i said. a funny argument to use against jmart in a canon context#joos yaps#ok gotta spoiler tag tho#tma s5#- i mean jmarts conflicts CAN be dramatic (finale...) but for the most part it's talking past each other#martin making an insensitive comment here and there#jon not knowing how much to communicate so communicating v little#martin purposely acting dumb so he doesn't have to face reality#mundane shit that gets under peoples skin way easier than 'literally ended the world'#but i think i can say... from jons perspective... ending the world is 🤏 a tad more egregious than not listening to him sometimes

What’s so interesting to me about Odysseus’s transition in Monster is that he hasn’t changed all that much. He was always capable of violence and we know that because of everything he’s done in the war and in his journey. The only change that occurs is he’s chosen to no longer feel guilty, and to stop hesitating when it comes to violence.
#look my outlook is everyone always is capable of horrible things. under the right circumstances we will do violent atrocious things#that capability is in all of us. Odysseus shows that he was always capable of killing (and killing an infant!)#the fact that he feels guilty doesn’t change his actions#sure he tries to be better and be kinder but at the end of the day his efforts matter less than his actions and outcomes#right?#yes he streamlines his violence but he’s committed violence before!#when one intends to kill the speed at which they draw their sword doesn’t change the outcome#feeling conflicted about the thing doesn’t matter if you still do the thing#so in monster what he decides is to stop trying to preserve his ideals of morality#but from that his actions won’t exactly change. he’s going to kill people in the future and really that’s no different from his past#in letting go of his moral preservation isn’t he returning to be just a man? a man with no illusions of himself?#my post#epic the musical#epic the underworld saga

The Life I Can't Have
#three body problem#3 body problem#三体#chu yan#褚岩#my art#chu yan strikes me as someone who knows better to yearn for something that's part of a bygone era (relative to him)#however that does not mean that he doesn't consider both the past and the future in forming his actions such as the group vote#not only would that end a several billion years long history (as emphasized by cheng xin) it would also end its future#yet the group vote also opened up choices to better the chances of preserving said history for humans on earth#regarding the opening of choices for the people under his care as captain and himself...#even if the choice to live a mundane life was unavailable to him and i think his duty would take precedent over that possibility now-#there's the hope that maybe future generations could maybe have that sort of simple life again if not his#all of a sudden during my commentary i hear a voice behind me#“wallfacer elliot i am your wallbreaker. you wanted to draw chu yan in cute outfits and made this piece as an excuse to do so”#okay fine... that's correct... there was probably a better way to do that but oh well it's posted#also!#person with blonde hair is akihara reiko and the person with brown hair is dongfang yanxu! inspired by their 我的三体 designs!

☆ It's online! ☆
Dissolutely Leisurely is on AO3 now. The fic that started it all. Hans and Sam discuss their respective feelings as well as poetry interests.
Go and show it some love!
#gotta admit something#it took me until today with the help of comments under some unrelated tumblr post to realise that hans had an alive mother in kcd1#still in shock and disbelief ngl#i just always assumed even before kcd2 (where they apparently changed him to the parentless loser that he is) that he was an orphan#idk perhaps because of his mother's heirloom necklace or the way everytime henry can ask him about his parents he just goes:#yeah so my dad fell from his horse into a stream and drowned so yupp i'm all alone#and then hanush just goes: your mother in polna --- like what?#it's the same thing as with pebbles being a male horse in kcd1#the 'luke i am your father's of this fandom#so no. he will always remain a parentless loser in my hc and stories just as he has been for the past 7 years i don't make the rules

Seeing Jaya angst where Jay is being extremely hurtful to Nya and sorta taking advantage of the fact that she can't bring herself to fight him is sad, but also so fucking funny
Like bro, have you seen how this guy acted when he met Bonzel and she literally immediately knew that he didn't like his job or the fact that they're hunting Zane (without knowing that ofc)
#ninjago dragons rising#jay walker#bonzel#zane julien#I get some of you might say that Bonzel is a spell#And thus she's more powerful and can read people easier alongside knowing their past#But at the same time#Uhhhh S1#He was playing VIDEO GAMES#And told his agents not bother him when it's not an emergency#BTW this post is not to mock those people whatsoever#Because I do somewhat get the vision don't get me wrong#At the same time#I-It's Jay#I can't see this man being evil or heartless in any scenario#Unless he's under the influence of someone/something/magic#Zane style basically

the worst scenes for me are when a character is just like. normal mean because they’re having a bad day and everyone acts like they just shot someone
#like. no they should not have said that but also give them a break????????#but really what i think is that they should let characters ACTUALLY be shitty to each other#like. if you want a dramatic scene where someone is mean then let them be MEAN!!!!!#let them get really really personal and cruel in a way that isn’t easy to get past#let them say what they REALLY think and then never be able to take it back#and THEN let everyone else be shocked and horrified#i am ALL for consequences but like… you gotta set it up well!#that post that’s like FUCK therapy speak! flush his blood pressure medication down the toilet because he called you lazy!!!!#THAT is what i am talking about#i am so desperate for these characters to get worse it is UNREAL#i can’t care about characters unless they get worse - sorry#i don’t want to LIKE them - i want to analyze them under a microscope like a paramecium#how am i supposed to assign characters mountain goats songs in this environment????????#terrible…#[REDacted]
