Proud to say I’m at a place where I’m very ambitious w my goals, but still very content w where I currently am. No matter my financial or academic or just any personal aspirations at all, I’m so in love w my life as it is and realize that it will be no objectively better when I do attain all the tangible things I want to attain. Legitimately so happy to just be here, surrounded by love and books and privileged to be studying and gaining knowledge. At the end of the day this really is all that matters to me. And this is a feeling no amount of money can buy

Actually, no, I disagree. Astarion has his reasons for many things he thinks and disapproves of, but some of them are just ... He doesn't like it when people are nice. He actively likes cruelty. Those are both true.
And yeah, you get why. He's well-written and his motivations are understandable! You can have a lot of very long and sad meta posts about how he thinks cruelty is natural and kindness is fake, but that doesn't remove his joy at cruelty and his distaste for kindness. Those things are still true. He can get better, yes. He does get better if you encourage him to. But he starts out as an absolute jackass.
Stop woobifying him fr. He's a piece of shit, even if he's a well-written one. Just because you understand him doesn't mean he's right or somehow the only sane person in the group. Cruelty is not intelligence, kindness is not a weakness. xoxo <3

Need asoiaf fans to be disabused from the notion that anyone “deserves” the Iron Throne. Not a single person deserves it, doesn’t matter how good they are. And I’d take it a step further and say that no one deserves to be king or queen or lord. We shouldn’t be equating kingship/queenship with a happy ending. This series does so much to criticize this awful system so it’s particularly jarring that people will go “I want my fave to get their happy ending and sit on the iron throne”. That’s…kind of antithetical to what the series has shown us so far I think.

“I know that Elvis put his heart into helping others. He hated to see anyone suffer. It was one of the reasons I loved him. Even if it was sometimes ridiculous, when you looked into his eyes as he preached or healed, all you saw was a sincere desire to help. Only those close to Elvis knew that part of him”
(excerpt from Good Rockin’ tonight by Joe Esposito)
what always hits me about Elvis is just how much he cared and how pure his heart was. I don’t think anyone who was ever friends with Elvis or was loved by Elvis experienced something like it again after he passed away. he was just a once in a life time kind of person…

I just finished watching Hannibal for the first time and I’m having emotions (I’m not okay, help)
Will had such a chill life after everything that had happened to him. A nice life, a simple one, some might say. Then Hannibal came back into it, all went to shit... or did it?
Will could have chosen not to get involved with the FBI again. He could have chosen not to get in the car with Hannibal in the end. But he went with him. He chose him over the simplicity he might have had a chance to go back to in some way.
But in truth, he didn't have much of a choice. He went with him because he needed to. Because he was too deep in the whole thing again. Because the Dragon was still free and alive. Because Hannibal would have gotten away and Will would not have had peace in his life either way. Because the side of him that needed Hannibal was awake again. Because they understood each other in a way that nobody did before they met.
"When life becomes maddeningly polite, think about me", Hannibal had said. He coaxed that part back out of Will that Will had tried to bury over the years.
Will's whispered "it's beautiful" about the life he and Hannibal could have had. Seeing beauty in what he had tried to ignore but in some way still wanted.
This was not about winning each other over anymore, or helping each other become a "better version" of themselves; each with their own perception of what better means. This was acceptance of the impossibility to cut each other out. There was acceptance and relief in their hug in the end, the way they clung to each other. There was Will's final acceptance of it all, of himself, in the fall. They fell for each other in whichever way that might have been. They fell with each other because it was the only way left to be together at this point.
