crowley being alone while creating the stars while needing a second person to kickstart them & muriel having a desk alone in heaven and getting vistors only once every few centuries & aziraphale being put on earth for six thousand years with no other angel in sight & hell being constantly overcrowded to the point where just getting through the crowd is the first torture method they use on humans & furfur and shax wanting a promotion just so they can have a chance to not have to constantly be crowded & demons showing up on earth so often that theres even a group teleporter thats used enough to get broken all r just living rent free in my head at all times

random thing but. I think part of the cultural migration that vampires have made from unsympathetic to sympathetic has to do with modern awareness of the many, many ways one can harm others without even trying

like. this is just me rambling cause my brain is in the Vortex but. it’s the guilt, right? it’s the guilt. so so so many people feel guilty for just existing, because by just existing we are complicit in harm. existing as a human being in a modern industrialized culture harms the earth. existing as a majority demographic group harms those in minority demographic groups. every single thing some of us touch is built on bones

phones and cheaply made goods (ie most goods) are products of slave labor and resource exploitation. food is grown in ways that harm the environment. food that used to be animals? almost all of it is from animals that suffered. we are all prolonging our lives via the consumption of animals, the difference is that most of us aren’t killing them ourselves. vegans aren’t exempt; farms are all too often staffed by abused workers, some of whom are literally enslaved. countless -isms are ingrained into our brains and we perpetuate them often without realizing.

and on a more personal level, we have all become hypervigilant towards toxicity and manipulation and all of the ways that we can hurt the people we love completely accidentally. yah, a lot of people direct this blame at others, but who hasn’t quietly freaked out about it like. what if everyone I know would be better off if they had never met me. what if I am parasitizing them by existing. feeding on them emotionally. what if there’s no other way to exist. what if I can’t stop. what if that’s just what I’m made of

and that’s vampirism! vampirism is, to some degree, about parasitizing the world around you and being unable to exist any other way. some vampires can mitigate it— feeding off of animals or willing donors— but they’re still feeding on the life force of others. harm can be lessened but never undone.

maybe I’m just being mentally ill about it, but I can’t be the only person who relates to vampires out of fear of being a parasite. burdening others with my existence. i don’t think I’m alone. so we’re being more sympathetic to vampires in the modern day, because we have to be, right? if you look at the monster and you see your own traits in it, then what does it mean about you if the monster has to be destroyed? so modern vampires can feel guilt, even if the older source-material vamps didn’t, because the wider culture has started to align itself with monster more than with victim. the monsters feel guilty and they try to mitigate their harm and they try not to hurt the people around them. because that’s all any of us can do, yeah?

"gay movies are turning kids gay" WRONG. arwen and eowyn are turning your kids gay.

maybe the plot doesn't have to be intricate. maybe i can just bullshit it and focus on what's really important: getting those disaster queers back together

As an adhd kid who did attend 6 schools in six years and has struggled to make friends my entire life, it was so cathartic to see 12yo Percy Jackson tell his mom he finally has real friends who like him. He’s not the weird kid anymore, he’s not the outcast. He has found his home. Two episodes in and my inner child is already healing.

Aside from starting it up and playing till you had to get a plunger (which is like 20 minutes into the game and 3 into actual gameplay with all the cutscenes lol) I've been playing this game from the moment it started until now, and I'm nearly 10 hours into it WHAT-

Bury me boys, I've gone terminal for yakuza, I adore it too much.

I've just gotten to survive bar, so if anyone is kind enough to, please ask me any questions about the game so I can talk both the ear and ass off of you about everything In this game because OMG I HAVE TOO MUCH TO SAY AND IDK WHERE TO START ITS GAME OF THE GENERATION ICHIBAN IS JUST.... AAAAAAAAA-

Okay so I was very wrong but on the other hand my heart is in a bunch of bloody pieces and I am mourning something I didn't know I could

(havent stopped thinking about latinx multi-cultural wolfstar. where remus is colombian. and sirius is cuban. and they have cute little spats about coffee at least once a week.

can’t stop thinking about how the whole overarching theme of bg3 is “i am so much more than what you made me”:

astarion breaking the cycle of abuse cazador tried to trap him in and helping people post endgame

karlach using the time she has left to fight for faerûn and love her friends fiercely despite how awful gortash and zariel were to her

shadowheart reclaiming her life and her memories after being lied to and confined her whole life

lae’zel reshaping her whole worldview and freeing her people after being molded into someone for vlaakith to use

wyll breaking free of his pact and not becoming duke to instead swear to destroy the devils that would do to other people what was done to him

gale letting himself let go of mystra’s expectations of him and build a life where he’s able to do what he loves

durge rejecting bhaal and becoming the child of none, protecting the slice of home they’ve carved out for themselves in this mismatched group of weirdos that they love so much

minthara taking down the cult that broke her mind and used her like a pawn

GOD i could go on for HOURS

The Eleventh Doctor having such a young face and being the Doctor to live possibly the longest. The one who abandoned his companion more or less because he chose a bigger (in number of beings) duty of care. The Doctor who often acts the youngest and yet is the most frightening. The Doctor who, at least to me, marked such a difference in the character.

The youngest-looking, most underestimated because of that, the one who sacrificed his memories to save a moon without a moment's hesitation, the one who lost his parents-in-law (who were his best friends), the one who saw his grave, the one who found the impossible girl and did his best to keep her safe just as he kept him safe...

The one who experienced the highest high and the lowest low of his whole life. The one who lost and won and lost again. The one who waited and withered and aged and practiced patience as best he could because one could say he gave up on saving himself.

The Eleventh Doctor.
