One of my favorite moments in the Silt Verses is when Carpenter finds that girl, Eliza, who was hollowed by a god of solitude and can't hear or see anyone around her, who thinks she's been abandoned. When Carpenter, full of rage and fire that we have missed in her, goes to that outpost and kills the people responsible.
I love it because, in the long run, it didn't really matter. It didn't help anyone. It didn't help Eliza, it stopped the government from hurting more people yes, but only for a little while. In a month, the outpost will be all cleaned up and the experiments will start again. Carpenter didn't really make a difference. It was pointless.
But it still needed to be done.
Eliza needed to be avenged. All of those people that were hollowed and killed needed to be avenged. In the end, that act of vengeance was pointless, but that doesn't mean it didn't need to be done regardless.
Sometimes, our actions are pointless. Sometimes, something we do does nothing, it changes nothing, it helps no-one. But it still needs to be done anyway.
Anyway,, Spider-man: Across the Spider-Verse cured my anxiety, cleared my skin and cleansed my aura at thesame time. (It's great and I love it and I had a hard time not screaming the two times I went to the cinema.)
I've completely forgotten how to make friends online and would like to start again after a years long tumblr hiatus.
In an attempt, I am going to try and list every one of my favorite shows, games and so on and have my DMs open for people to say hi if they'd like. No pressure to message, of course. You can also comment on or reblog this post if you're more comfortable with that!

i am on the verge of falling asleep so don't blame me if i'm onto nothing but if you think about it val and carson are both nameless characters. but she had her name stolen from her and replaced with her purpose ("valuable") whereas he willingly gave his away in order to replace it with something that granted him more power ("press secretary"). and we never get to find out their real first names because the people those first names actually belonged to died way before either character was even introduced
Have you ever thought of how these two parallel with one another? How similar their stories are? How they strived so hard for something they could never attain, for love, out of love, trying to be better for others' approval?
I don't just love this ship because it's cute. I love it because of the character interaction. The vibes. They embody one another, what the other wanted to be, what they could have been. What they became. Failures, suffering, broken.
Two great warriors, brought down from pedestals, either made by themselves, or forcibly placed on it, and made to accept their failure.
I think they'd understand one another in a way no one else really could, yknow?
I’ve seen all the memes on YT about this clip, but I added something at the end for my Hollow Knight fans. This is what it felt like in the movie anyways lmao
