#but we're angry at everyone

[atalana]

so the good place is widely lauded on this site for its takes on morality and capitalism, which i totally agree with

but i think it should get more recognition for the line "all humans are aware of death. so we're all a little bit sad all the time. that's just the deal. we don't get offered any better ones. and if you try and ignore your sadness, it just ends up leaking out of you anyway. i've been there, and everybody's been there. so don't fight it. in the words of a very wise bed bath and beyond employee i once knew - go ahead and cry all you want. but you're gonna have to pay for that toilet plunger."

it's been said before and i'll say it again: image descriptions are not meant to be added later by other people. they are meant to be written by op and included within the op.

It's intriguing how Supernatural subverted the conventional trope where the hero's love interest is perpetually endangered or taken hostage because she's his 'Achilles' heel' or 'weak spot' (wild that samdean explicitly dubbed each other with these two btw). Instead, the show replaced the heroine with Sam, seamlessly reimagining the dynamic while still adhering to traditional gender roles.

and they wonder why people are shipping the brothers maybe bc the brothers are written like the show's surrogate token lovers

What's it like having an emotionally absent father

What the―?!

You. How dare you talk shit about my Pops like that? Who do you think you are? You don't know anything about him. He's not "emotionally absent", he's fucking traumatized. War does that to people.

Of course things are going to be hard for us, but they're hard for him too. You ever think about how frustrating and scary it would be to suddenly have these uncontrollable bad reactions to something that used to make you happy?

Probably not, you seem like the type who only thinks about yourself. If you haven't experienced it, it doesn't exist and everyone around you is just stupid, right? Right?!

Keep my dad's name out of your mouth.

the closest ill ever get to being a pick me girl is the joy that fills me when the chefs at work so clearly favouritise me. like im there nicely cleaned up in my smart-casual uniform just a 20 year old waitress smiling my customer service smile and behind me spawns Scary Dog Privilege 10x in the form of several burly middle-aged chefs at least three of which have criminal records and would all stick a bread knife in someone for bothering me

So I don't know if it was ever revealed how Duncan felt when we killed Malistaire all three times but I'm wondering if maybe some part of him could hate us for that too. Like you hear that and you go "but why. Malistaire was terrible and even Duncan knew that(?). Why would he hate you for getting rid of him."

But like I think it's so....... interesting in a very, very, very sad way how Duncan so easily latches onto anyone who directly feeds into his delusions of grandeur. And that's no fault of his own that he was manipulated by the nasty Schism but when you think about how desperately clung to the idea that Malistaire, easily one of the greatest necromancers any of us had ever heard of (at that time), somehow actually recognized Duncan's talents (even when canon supports that Duncan wasn't all that talented, at least no more than the next necromancer) and then praised him for it so often that Duncan believed that he would be the next Death Professor is. I mean ☹️

So like with that mindset I unfortunately feel like it would be quite easy to twist even Malistaire's death as something that's horrible and awful and all our fault. ESPECIALLY if the Schism was feeding into Duncan's already broken mind and shattered ego and was constantly telling him that everything bad that ever happened to him ever in his life was Our Fault. That's like a realistic conclusion that someone like Duncan could come to

And like, at this point in time, are Malistaire's crimes even a factor in how he thinks????? Was Duncan ever able to separate Malistaire's talent and skills and prowess from the terrible and awful things he did? If Duncan wasn't able to consciously tell that distinction in the first place I can't imagine it would be any better during the years he was being manipulated and isolated and lied to

Like in Duncan's mind it probably isn't, "maybe I shouldn't idolize a national criminal, or idolize anyone at all for that matter, and aspire to be like someone so harmful when I can recognize my own talent and build from there" it's probably more like, "you (the wizard) permanently got rid of a brilliant mind, an innocent person who just made a few mistakes, and someone who believed in me no matter what just so that you could be the better than me and loved by everyone else" and that's! very sad actually!

im so close to outright fuckin beggin my mom to get a divorce at this rate i cant deal with my fathers narcissistic asshole behavior anymore

[navree]

i'm sure someone has talked about it before with more insight than me but it is WEIRD that the narrative of the show is that we are meant to root for the only black family in westeros to have their ancestral home and lands stolen out from under them by some random white kid simply because his mom is the nominal protagonist

[werebutch]

sorry im gonna be an asshole but if my dad knew he couldnt take care of us with the progression of his diseases then why did he fight so hard for custody. im 20 yrs old i shouldnt still be thinking abt this but still like. a billion years of neglect the fact that he is sick is irrelevant when he knew very well that he wouldnt meet our basic needs. sorry. and now its on me to take care of 2 mostly-adult teenagers who hate my guts and still think they're 12 years old and cant go to the store. or clean. or whayever. AGHHHHHHH

[literalite]

Having Cheese, who's such a kind and patient character, admit that he's angry at Daniel for committing suicide was such a shocking and powerful moment.

the thing about 'negative' or 'positive' emotion is that it's all information. it's all your brain and body telling you something. and like any conversation you can pursue it further or shut it down. you can dissect it in the shower later or write about it in your diary or sit with it or let it pass or hold onto it for years. but in the end it's nothing more or less than a message from yourself
