ik it would fuck so much shit up probably, but if they faked wanda's death next to lucy and yolanda's bodies they might actually have convinced ruben to change sides...

Just fyi you do not escape the 'never looked at a female character in my life with my brain turned on bc they're a woman' misogyny allegations just because you lack malice towards that woman you pathologically mad effort to not pay attention to 🤦

The malice, whole concerning, is not the focal point of the lack of noticing women on screen. The malice in these situations is people too thick to realise They're not noticing women's stories and getting mad at bad writing for not having women's stories bc they don't comprehend that They are the one with the problem. Not noticing women's stories and not getting mad at it is doing Exactly the same thing as the first group and just having a different secondary reaction. You're not better than group A.

If you can only notice women having emotions and personalities when they're furiously screaming and rageful and/or (exuberantly) traumatized (or crying their eyes out, but 13 doesn't even get close to that) then like sorry but You are the problem. There are many people who noticed 13's personality and quirks and neurosis and bad behaviour in season eleven, people who clocked her accurately enough to make accurate predictions of where this would go because everything you need is there on screen if you deign to look.

However, if you can't comprehend women as creatures that do more than screech and scream like your average baby then yeah I'd get why you missed it, too.

Anyway, the above is Exceptionally funny bc even most of the painfully dismissive of women crowd noticed her losing her temper in spyfall with he master, and It was so over the top of a reaction from her that I cannot comprehend Not seeing that even if you are on the misogyny koolaid 🫣

Yikes lol some people just like to show their own asses so blatantly that it's objectively funny on top of being yack worthy

When Jazz had first gotten back from her week-long summer camp for gifted children, she’d expected an empty fridge and a sink full of dirty dishes and a living room that would desperately need to be vacuumed. She had expected the empty driveway and the overgrown lawn and the fresh new graffiti that tagged the side of their mailbox in neon green paint and crude, mocking words.

Most of all, she had expected her little brother to be there at the front door when she knocked. She’d expected it to swing wide open before she could even set down her belongings and fish out her own set of keys. She’d expected her baby brother to be standing there to greet her, clad in socks that had worn thin across the heel and had holes where his big toe stuck out, with hair that hadn’t been brushed in a week and still wearing clothes he’d slept in the night before.

What she hadn’t expected was the pungent, metallic odour that hung in the air. Stale and sour, overwhelming her every sense as she stepped past the threshold - suffocating what little oxygen not yet taken up by the foul stench of burning flesh and hair.

She hadn’t expected the strong, chemical smell that wafted from the second storey of the house.

Or the bloody footprints leading up the basement stairs.

Or the dark, patchy stains sinking into the living room rug.

Or her brother’s friends to come racing from the back of the house with wide, watery eyes and ashen faces, tripping over gallon bottles of bleach and haphazardly strewn cleaning supplies.

But most of all, she hadn’t expected to find her little brother, rumpled and glassy-eyed, staring into the swirling green light of her parent’s latest failed invention.

[teabutmakeitazure]

me: there's cinnamon in the tea? ugh I don't like cinnamon in tea.

"you're so picky. you have to go to an unfamiliar house, so what're you gonna do if your mother-in-law likes cinnamon in tea? don't have such preferences. it's not attractive on a girl 😄"

yeah I'm busting my ass off and greying my hair and losing weight at an unhealthy rate for my degree so that a lady who I have never met in my life can dictate my life choices before I even meet her. okay.

inside me there are two wolves. one says "you should OCify muriel before she gets introduced so that you can explore the themes you personally would want to see, before you get distracted by canon". the other says "that sounds like a stupid idea and a surefire way to get disappointed by canon"

Gonna be seated tomorrow watching Bagi, Aimsey and possibly others, all resource gathering as Purgatory 2 begins while drawing q!Tina fanart since I've already drawn q!Bagi. Can't wait to see who starts panicking first.

At least Empanada's admin gets the week off.

i became a kindergarten teacher IN Part to my kinder teacher being one of the only people in my early childhood treating me like she Liked me and that i Mattered and that when i was with her i was safe.

but now as a kinder teacher i have had children who have already suffered so much and whose parents refuse to get them proper help and im not in the position to really Do anything and i just hope that its enough that i let them know that i like them and that they matter and when they are with me they are safe like maybe that will be enough

i’m going through the mgs4 database and cross-referencing things with game/non retconned extra info to see how much of it has a source, and there’s this one line about big boss: “After that, he served as a combat instructor and worked to reintegrate former child soldiers into society.“

gonna be honest i dont think he ever ‘reintegrated’ any traumatised kids back into society, he just taught them that’ war was all they were ever good for

Turns out my mum wants to divorce my dad except actually she doesn’t so I have to keep it a secret and she hasn’t thought to apologise for freaking me out like that because I’m her therapist and she doesn’t care about how I feel :)))))

I truly believe that Anima was stuck between a rock and a hard place when she made the decision to take Seymour on his pilgrimage. The disease she had was slowly killing her, she had limited access to the medicine that was keeping her alive, and she had no idea when their exile would be lifted. It could've been the next week, the next month, two years from now, she had no way of knowing and Jyscal gave no indication of how long it would last either. He might've said something along the lines of 'until the civil unrest dies down', but who knows when that might've happened. I can't imagine it would've died down as soon as Anima and Seymour left.

And so, she was left with the choice of having Seymour watch her slowly die and have to eventually deal with her body (which would've been traumatising) or go on a pilgrimage, become Seymour's final aeon, and stay with him that way in a hopes that he uses her to defeat Sin and becomes a martyr (also very traumatising). Both of which would've left Seymour alone, but the latter would at least mean Seymour would finally, hopefully, be accepted by the people of Spira.

By the time she'd made the decision to go on the pilgrimage, I like to think she'd have sent word to Jyscal that she was going to die. She would've basically pleaded with him again to lift Seymour's exile and take him back because of her own mortality, and never got a response. I can't imagine she reached the point where she knew she wouldn't make it much longer and her first and only decision was to go on a pilgrimage in an attempt to keep herself 'alive'. I think she reached the pilgrimage option when she realised that was the only semi-meaningful option left.

It was obviously the wrong decision and it ended up doing more harm than good. She blames herself a lot for this decision, the regret and guilt chewing at her constantly, and she thinks about how it impacted Seymour in the long run. She inadvertantly taught him that pain and suffering could be used for strength and forced him further into loneliness and isolation.

We're also retconning the idea that she fully blames Seymour for what he became. She 95% blames herself and Jyscal (the other 5% of her blames the Guado and the humans that didn't accept him either, their attitudes towards her and Seymour are just as bad and I won't hear otherwise) for how he turned out. She deluded herself into thinking that it was his fault at first, when she realised how twisted his outlook had become, maybe the guilt gnawed at her that much that it warped her perception of reality to the point where she twisted her own actions into not being that bad.

But I think eventually she had to face reality that it was because of her & Jyscal's actions that caused him to become like this. I think if she were alive, like properly alive and not Fayth alive, she probably would've had a bit of a mental health breakdown at the realisation. She might've had a mini one while she was a fayth and went right back up delusion alley, but for the most part, I think she blames herself and Jyscal more than she blames Seymour

"Why did Rose not take Jimmy and leave?" What? The hotel she lives in, run by her husband, who is also her boss, who explicitly controls her money, who is rich and famous enough to buy an entire fucking hotel? You think he's letting her take enough to create a safety net incase she leaves? He screams at her and makes her bleed for buying things without his permission. You don't think he could conjure up laywers to get Jimmy back if she legs it, with no income and infinitely less financially stable than him? You think she has any capacity to do shit but survive in the scenario?
