ive always appreciated his bisexuality

okay, but, like, THAT'S how you do a villain story. in the FIRST scene, you watch him shoot a man in cold blood. the show tells you right away "this man is not a good man".

but then it gets you to sympathize - look at how much the world has stepped on him. look at how terrible the whole of gotham is. and even when he kills more people, does more terrible things, you still root for him. because it's fun to watch someone be terrible to terrible people. you root for sofia too, because if anyone deserves revenge its her, but you're rooting for both of them somehow.

and then the show tells you "when he was a boy he killed his brothers". but even still, you want to see what he'll do. the show is called the penguin, you want to see the penguin rise. when he lets his mother's finger almost get cut off, you pity him. he's a sad, broken thing. how could he be anything but bad? but he loves, so there must be something else there.

but then. but THEN

the show always told you: "this is the devil". but you thought, maybe the devil can make hell a little more bearable for some people. the devil is so often nuanced, sympathetic, complex. maybe he's like that.

you're wrong. there's nothing good within him and YOU rooted for him to succeed. you wanted to watch the destruction. and now you have to live with the consequences of thinking, even for a second, that he could be redeemed.

could you expand more on the lavender marriage? i wanted to look up more posts of yours when you mention it but... tumblr search function... function't...

I don't think I've said much about it because it's kinda self-explanatory okay so the lavender marriage mention [that I can rember] is from le fameux "inheriting the earth" + 5yrs patho kids now adult designs & lore post with both Khan & Capella having "[material] wedding ring, purposefully mismatched as a sign of lavender marriage". for the uninitiated a "lavender marriage" is a type of marriage of convenience that one (or both) party/ies enter to conceal their homosexuality and attempt to reap the social benefits and personal safety of being in a heterosexual marriage. it can happen with both spouses being gay and using the appearance of a heterosexual pair for reciprocal protection, or only one of them being gay and entering the marriage for protection, the non-gay partner may or may not be aware of the other's homosexuality. if both spouses are gay, they may typically lend each other freedom to see other people.

in khan & capella's situation, a marriage of convenience is decided upon early [cf. Capella's lines] for the sake of "bringing the families together" (political alliance). Oh I have sooo much to think about how the older generation (in that case Maria and Vlad Jr) expect the one after them to rub off their blood and rebuild their shed (pivotal element of pathologic anyways [cf. Burakh]) but that's not about this rn. anyways yes marriage of political interests.

anyways now this is where I'm real I think they're both homosexual. capella knows this about khan because she's clairvoyant. khan knows this about himself. he knows capella knows when she gives him her little bunny smile and he remembers she's clairvoyant. he learns later [this is still pre-wedding] she is too and is like oooooh so we fundamentally can't love each other. thank god I just thought it was a me problem. Capella had been taking theatre classes and she learned to do a theatre-kiss [move the mouth to the side so the other kisses cheek, head angle important] for the wedding day. They shamelessly lie to the population to explain why they, bit by bit, stop living together very quickly after the wedding ("we need separate blankets he keeps stealing if off me" "we need separate bed she has such cold feet it's giving me the shivers" "we need separate rooms he snores" "we need separate houses my presence is draining her of her powers"). Maria knows that's not the truth, she's clairvoyant. Whether she feels anything for the brokenness of the ruling families having been pushed onto her brother as a teenager I haven't decided yet. Katerina knows because she's clairvoyant. Basically all the kids know they don't like each other and a select few adults do (not about the gay thing they just think they're in a normal loveless marriage of convenience like is unfortunately really common [a lot had own parents in one] just slightly happier about it)

In my mind's eye (in my eyes' mind) they both have their own lives pretty separate. Khan fucks off overseas, goes to boarding school, and travels, sends back copious amounts of books. Capella gets the telegram installed into the town and he sends short updates on his travels. She stays in town for Mistress Purposes, reads plenty of books and orders khan to go fetch some in obscure londonian libraries, carries the new administration on her shoulders frankly. the marriage stays as a constant reminded to the oldest siblings and the rest of the adults that it is their bullshit that created this unnatural and uncomfortable situation which reflects poorly on the town with how free both "spouses" live their lives. Capella goes dancing with the girls in the warehouses. Khan routinely goes and hang out with [gestures] this one guy who we don't know what their problem is or if they even have a problem anymore. nobody will let them divorce because that would force the town to reckon with its massive political mistakes and fundamentally broken systems. Capella had gone dancing with the girls in the warehouses on her wedding night and khan had found himself there also because he wanted to tell off notkin for running his mouth during the "speak now or forever hold your peace" and insulting the oldest siblings for cf. like 2 paragraph above and when these two begin jokingly asking what capella is even doing here in this dress she goes "it's my wedding day!!" and they make faces and pretend to be gobsmacked and khan says "and I wasn't even invited??" anyways yeah. very funny to me.

okay now what's this "i haven't said much because it's self-explanatory" >proceeds to say much. well hope you enjoyed.

Loki didn't even do anything to the other Asgardians personally, unsure why they didn't like him so much and thought he was so suspicious

[all-pacas]

ok but there's something about how in s6 chase and cameron (2 seconds before she's written off) talk about working for house again, and chase suggests they should and how she was the one who liked diagnostics, not him

and it's like

chase was never in diagnostics because he had a dream of being a diagnostician? he was there because he liked house. he wasn't there to lead his own team or take the job elsewhere, he liked house. he didn't need to be there. he's the best and most magical surgeon on the planet. he can have an entire career as a surgeon. he's not been blacklisted or forced out of a practice and he's not just starting out: chase is here because he likes house. he enjoys being around house. unlike foreman and cameron he never has any real ambitions to lead his own department or team or hospital. he's not dreaming of being a famous diagnostician, he just likes house.

and so when chase's life falls apart he comes back. and so when chase has nothing else to do he waits for house to come back. if house was teaching orthopedics or rheumatology or cooking it wouldn't matter. and the absolute irony of it is that this low-ambition nepobaby very desperately hoping house will love him some day is also brilliant. he doesn't want to be a diagnostician, but as early in the pilot he's coming up with Solutions. he's observant and can read house like a book. he's a good manipulator. he solves cases. he's just here to have fun and yet he's got more natural talent than foreman and cameron. no wonder house bullies him so much. no wonder he punches him in the face. how absolutely insufferable. imagine how good chase would be if he gave a shit at any point of his life. (imagine if his life had been different, and he hadn't learned so thoroughly that giving a shit just meant heartbreak, that caring just let others hurt and leave you.)

he's the only fellow house ever fired, and yet house is the only constant in chase's life. the only one who took him back time and again. he doesn't have to be here, he doesn't care about diagnostics, he's here because he likes house,

Time to use this meme again!

not sure abt everyone else but a couple people have expressed their distaste for Libby's card but I actually really like it

to be fair it was pretty unexpected

but like the pigtails actually do work with her goth aesthetic. in fact when I saw the silhouette it immediately brought to mind Misa Amane, another iconic goth girly, and I feel like Libby would 100% take inspo from that

Like it's very mall goth it's very 90s, here's a cosplay version

The pigtails are also very Harley Quinn-esque and a popular hairstyle in gothic lolita fashion, and ofc the 90s goth aesthetic in general

like guys it's so Libby Grambs!! the only issue I have with the card is her height, I didn't think she was that tall lmao

September Choices Insiders Tidbits

All the brain storm ideas for the weapons in Blades 3! Number 3 for the magic crossbow would have been epic! It looks like a machine gun. I wonder if that's why they reverted back to a more crossbow look. Number 3 shield is so pretty! It look like a shield of the cosmos.

Cg pairing of the LIs. Nia and Aaron, the contrast of them using Light and Shadow magic. Mal with his favorite buddy Tyril and my 2 wives together ❤️ I got a feeling the one with Imtura and Valax is going to be my favorite cg of 2024.

🥹 oh I love them! I hope they get along with our owlbear. I got a feeling Blades 3 is going to be an expensive book lol

So ID 3 next year and Blades 3 for wide release in November. Lol I think they're getting tired of all the people begging for a TCH 3, I'm always seeing a comment under all their IG posts with someone asking for a book 3.

Inheritance? I wonder if they're rewriting/putting a new spin to Rules of Engagement. Though with a goc LI thank goodness. I also wonder if Years Apart is going to be about a long distance relationship or exes getting back together story, like Filthy Rich but no billionaire lol.

I am so so so excited for TeFe tomorrow and AoU coming later this month!! This is a good month of books. And obviously Plus One is coming out in October and Blades 3 in November.

Oooo interesting, so our hunch that it would be about vampires and werewolves was right. They're throwing in TCH references so I wonder if this book is going to take place in a different world, like a fantasy world. I hope we don't play as human. We probably will but it would be really cool if mc was a fairy or a selkie or something magical. Being a human dropped into a fantasy world with LIs more powerful than us is getting old.

Anyway, what do you guys think about the upcoming books?

My friend (who only read the first tig book way back when it first came out) told me that she pictured Jameson looking like and having the same vibe as Matty Healy…….chat should I break off the friendship 😭

everytime i rewatch black sails, i find myself like vane more and more ngl. the first season really tries hard to trick you into thinking he’s just unnecessarily, banally, and uncompellingly an asshole (in the overwhelmingly compelling asshole show), whose one redeeming feature is that he’s kinda pathetic too. but geez s2 really nails home everytime that hes the best and the coolest and the most honest (maybe even most compassionate) of the mcs up until this point, barring anne of course. and on top of that i actually kind of think he has the best pre-s3 speeches. like obvs s4 flint is yknow s4 flint. and s3 max is so insane i actually cant handle it. but oh my god charles vane’s letter and his fuck your legitimacy eleanor speech and his hanging speech are so good. and fuck what i said earlier isnt even true. bc his s1 speech while hes looking in the eyes of the little boy he used to be is actually like the bestest. like fuck ok. charles vane is the best actually. #1 anarchist boy. 10/10 would want him in my commune. hed point blank refuse to help with the dishes tho so 😬.
