I'm telling ya if you want people to get better then you have to be nice to them. you have to make an effort to understand why they currently act the way they do and give them compassionate encouragement, it's both way nicer and a million times more effective than trying to slap a bad behaviour out of someone's hands and scream at them about why they were holding it in the first place. maybe you're not up to making that effort, fine, but in that case just do nothing instead of being a dick.
Phil: Doin' a lot of traveling around the New Years. Oh boy, oof. Oh golly, oh gee. But it should be worth it! It should be really good. I'm looking forward to it, Kristin's looking forward to it.
Random Chatter: What about Tallulah and Chayanne?
Phil: I told them already what's going on. I already told them. They already know when I'm getting back and all that stuff, so.
Random Chatter: The cookies though?
Phil: [Shrugs] So? I'm... physically not here? [Laughs] There's more things - there's more important things in life than feeding a virtual egg cookies, I'm sorry to say, dude. [Laughs]
Random Chatter: Get Tubbo to feed eggs cookies.
Phil: [Laughs and mimics the chatter in an annoying voice] "Get this person!" "Get that person!" ALSO IGNORING THOSE PEOPLE ALSO HAVE LIVES! Jesus Christ. That says a lot about what you think of your streamer. Oh my god, dude. Let them have a fcking week off man! Let the Eggs have a week off, you kidding me? They're people, too, they're admins!
Random Chatter: The eggs need to live.
Phil: They do! By having a week off! [Laughs] Leave them alone! Holy fck! Good lord... If I- if- Dude. If anyone in my chat is genuinely like gonna come into stream, and like - be pissed off that different members of QSMP are just not logging in, I'm banning you on the spot, 'cuz that is so fcking toxically online of you. That is SO chronically online of you. You need to take a break, and I'm giving you that break. I'm forcing you to take a break from your PC. Fckin' get up from the - look away from the screen.
the horrible thing about if ted lasso eventually comes back for a surprise fourth season is that i'm going to bounce right back to believing that tedbecca is the endgame plan despite the show creators literally saying multiple times that tedbecca was never the endgame plan 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
Loved the new episode, I sure wasn't ready for Afomura becoming a thing so soon, like that scene is still... that
But otherwise wow
also a quick thank you for this scene having THIS track (a bit off from the original version) and voices of both AFO and Tomura mixing in places there
to other things
little dangerous hand man
I'm in love with the ending... "Believe" and "Sketch" and now this one are like a Holy Trinity of Villain connected endings and this one FEELS like it belongs to MVA or something like that WAY MORE than the ED version of Believe did, even if the song was directly connected to Tomura and Izuku via text
that's just my "I want THIS SPECIFIC WAY" of wishing an ED was and I got what I wanted in a way with everyone from the LoV having their moment to shine (from the current arc aside from Compress) - so Spinner, Toga, Dabi and Tomura all have that. IN BOTH ED and OP
Really fucked up that two ppl can care about each other and make their best efforts to communicate and still end up hurting each other so badly they cannot stand to be in the same room.
Imagine, if you will. A universe in which Adrien finds out about Monarch's towards the end of Season 5.
As in - instead of or in addition to the "move to London" plotline, Adrien is sitting on the secret that he knows his father is Monarch. They could have kept up their will-they-won't-they about he Sentimonster thing - is Adrien staying quiet because his father ordered him to? Or because he's seen the man's injury, knows that he's dying, and also knows that Marinette is in danger if he spills anything.
It doesn't even have to happen early. Just early enough that, once he's in his sensory deprivation cell, he knows that him transforming would leak his identity to Monarch himself. So he sends Plagg away to give the ring and the message to someone else, and we can still get the writers' precious Bug Noire.
(In fact, I think he should also find out about the Sentimonster thing at that point, because that means that as soon as Gabriel knows that Adrien is Chat Noir, he also has control over him. It means Adrien knows what he's fighting for, and it makes the gesture of giving up the ring so much more meaningful. Heavens, does he even know there's a battle when he does it in canon? No, it's just because he's afraid of akumatization.)
(and on THAT note clearly he should have been told about Chat Blanc because why else did his worse nightmare change from being controlled to being out of control?) (yeah yeah Destruction but. bleh.)
I know I know they didn't want to give too many important scenes to Adrien but they point is. This could have shifted the focus back to Marinette in a COOL way instead of a baffling way. He's the princess! She's the knight! Nobody would think the Knight was all that cool when she kills the dragon while the princess is saying oh he's not so bad... he just wants to play.... he don't bite....... and then the knight says oh you're right of course he wasn't evil he just had to. Go. Live on a nice farm. Anyway why don't we get out of this tower maybe
being surrounded by insecure jaded emotionally closed off teens who dont take anything seriously sure is emotionally conflicting like i hope y'all grow up to be better people but at the same time y'all are being assholes to teachers and saying slurs in the hallway you guys suck

I dare not defy the fate bestowed upon me, for I know it would not be kind. It never was and it never will. Ice destroyed all that I held dear, yet it is that same ice I had no choice but wield.
But the lights; oh how they call upon me.
So when I see a sun so incandescent—
The brighter I wish for it to dazzle.
You are not worthy
You are not worthy

“What are you zoning out for? Duty calls.”
“But Lord Tartaglia, your injuries—”
“Eh, I’ll be fine,” the harbinger blinked and smiled almost knowingly, “… Or would you rather stay in Liyue?”
“What?! No! Of course not! I—”
In my clouded chase of a disillusioned future, I have ruined everything.
“There is… no place for me here.”
Not anymore.
“…. If that’s what you think. Then, I guess you’ll be going with me to Fontaine.”
“Of course. It is only right, seeing as I am your underling.”
The two pairs of boots crunched against the stone pavements leading towards Liyue Harbor’s gates. Coviello reached into their pocket, habitually checking to see if they had their Delusion - yet their fingers brushed against two folded sheets of paper. One, they recognized, but the other....
“……?”
a friend of mine gave me this for protection, but i don’t think i’ll need it, so i'm giving it to you.
stay safe and drop by whenever you're in liyue. i wouldn't be opposed to hire such a capable part-timer. the patrons will miss you.

.... Should I send her a letter, at the very least?
........ No.
I'm sure she's already back arrived back home safely.
It's always "character who will do anything to protect their loved one, even commit horrific acts of violence, learn kindness and mercy at the request of their loved one" and never "merciful character who hates violence and fighting makes an exception because they love someone so much they will disregard their own morals and values to commit horrific acts of violence if that's what it takes to keep their loved one safe"
@togrieve4 put the idea in my head and now i can't stop thinking of theo being there when rakiel meets king harnant. of theo seeing how this man, proud and dignified the way a monarch has to be, cracks the moment his son's illness comes into play. how he broke down a door to see his child and how he has been counting the days since he last saw him. how it breaks his heart to have his kid hide away in his room but cannot bear to be cruel enough to force him out of it.
theo who went to beg his father to not humiliate his brother in front of thousands of people, to not be so cruel as to make his defeat a public affair to be gossiped about only to be immediately dismissed. theo who basically gave up on life and spent a year hidden away in his palace with an eating disorder that would've probably killed him if rakiel hadn't intervened. theo who must've known his father kept tabs on him,,, and that he never bothered to do anything about it.
young devout Catholics: A lot of laity don't really seem to know or understand a lot of core Church teachings, so it's important that we clearly teach and live it :)
boomer hippie Catholics: Wow, so arrogant and unkind. Extremist millennials like you will be the death of the Church.
