Okay but for real, the season finale for the first season is something else, just in terms of Jane’s actions. He gets all upset with Lisbon about their plan and being led to Red John and Jane has so little regard of his own life. Even when Maya is mentioned, he just. All he wants is Red John. If he can’t have a go at him, he needs Lisbon to get him, even if it means his own death.

This guy is practically allergic to guns most of the time. But the moment this guy makes a move - as obsessed with Red John as Jane is - Jane shoots him in defense of Lisbon. Like he doesn’t even think, he just picks the gun up and does it. And then his hand kinda shakes and he drops it immediately.

Say what you will about the first season of The Mentalist, it’s more episodic nature and Jane’s behavior etc., but the dude cared about Lisbon from the get-go more than he probably gets credit for. And I appreciate that.

Up till this point, they've mainly been just in their heroes identities and fighting random made up villains of their own. This is the first story that starts to mix in their other stories, mainly with Garth and the pulling in Ocean Master, a villain from his Aqua-side storyline, although there is also the mention of Dick Grayson and his guardian.

It does depend on how you count Donna's whole thing before because she is arguably the first one to have her outside of Teen Titans side of life pulled into the story, but no villains from her yet! I wonder if there'll be more of their villains joining in the story~

I’ve said this before but it really does feel to me that Kristen Reidel has one vision for the show and the entire rest of the writing team, directors, and honestly some of the cast have a completely different vision

The nature of Tumblr is such that I’ll often see posts that make ZERO sense to me because they’re meant for a very insular community. I enjoy this because it’s a look into a subculture I’d normally never engage in. But sometimes it’s really weird

Fic I will definitely write after this season is over and I’ve firmed up my Collector characterization (hold me accountable for it) is The Collector Babysits A Grimwalker. It’s two hundred years ago and Uncle Belos has to go spread the word about wild witches! He’s leaving his sweet four year old nephew (attempt 5 at making the perfect lad who will never betray him) in the hands of his good ally The Collector. And The Collector? The Collector is bored.

Sure, he hates being lonely but he’s watched a couple of these tykes come and go already! He knows not to get attached. And they’re pathetically dull, all Belos has scheduled for this one is cold gruel and practicing letters and numbers for a week. He’s just supposed to make sure he doesn’t topple off a cliff or light himself on fire. No fun at all!

But hey, Belos has been telling his poor brainwashed moppet that The Collector is a fellow messenger of the Titan his whole life. Surely, if The Collector said it was the Titan’s will that they go outside and play… a few dozen games of Hide and Go Seek can’t hurt anyone, can they?

It turns out this little Grimwalker is fun when he’s given a chance to play. So much more exciting than the last one! Whoops, he didn’t say that out loud, did he?

Wait I just saw a fanart, and I had a thought, why does fandom characterise Kakashi as a slob?

Like, he’s meticulous? He even was judgy of Naruto for being messy? And we’ve seen his room/apartment? It’s always been clean? And he’s been shown tidying as a child etc etc

So why do we think he’s dirty and lazy and a slob?

EDIT: CHECK MY LATEST ADDITION BEFORE YOU START SHIT IN THE NOTES, THANKS.

warning for discord users

If you're on the app, immediately go to your dms and then "add friends". After the latest update they allow your contacts to find you and have that option turned on by default, so make sure it's unchecked!

This is very obviously not great for a multitude of reasons, but especially for people in vulnerable positions who do not want people in their contacts to see who they are on discord and/or know they have discord in the first place. I've also tried finding out if this is a thing on desktop but haven't been able to find any mention of it, so either it's not a "feature" (yet) or they've hidden it. Either way, stay safe, and turn off finding friends via contacts!

[ID: three screenshots from the discord app with circles around the buttons to press to get to this "feature". 1: the messages/DM button, 2: the "add friends button", 3: in the add friends page, the "allow contacts to add me" checkbox. /END ID]

this man's moral compass is probably a roulette wheel

[aspiringwarriorlibrarian]

You know, it's kinda funny how much of high fantasy centers around kings and nobility and courtly intrigue considering that the archetypal high fantasy, Lord of the Rings, had the rather explicit moral of "saving the world is up to this backwater hick and his gardener because no politician, least of all inherited nobility, would have the ability to see past their own ambition and throw away a weapon". Oh sure, Aragorn is a great king and all, but there's a reason he's over there running a distraction ring while the hobbits do the real work. Sauron loses because he gets distracted by kings and armies and great battles (i.e. typical high fantasy stuff) letting Frodo and Sam sneak through his back door and blow it all to hell.

Just saying, maybe old Jirt knew what he was saying when he said that the small folk doing their best and holding to each other was more powerful than a dozen alliances and superweapons and we should respect him for it.

this whole oceangate submarine fiasco has actually led to a lot of interesting talks and debates about the grey area of human empathy vs the inclination to recoil at the bizarre behaviors of the ultra wealthy and how people struggle with both ideas and is actually very interesting to watch play out in different types of people
