#like this isn’t a joke anymore

[chekhovstrap]

One of the things that makes me a little 😵‍💫😵‍💫about rhaenicent interactions is that there is always a certain point where everything falls away. The starts are hostile, more bluffing than anything, but it always recedes into fondness. Like the look Rhaenyra gives Alicent when she says “you speak as if from a distant dream” is so achingly tender. All pretenses are gone. Alicent asks Rhaenyra to come with her and Rhaenyra doesn’t scoff. She doesn’t balk or laugh cruelly at the plea. She denies her as kindly as she can and hints that there is a part of her that would if she could. It is INSANE to me how much their love for each other has endured through everything they’ve put each other through.

I hope more people who feel they’re leftists begin to realize that genuinely hating men AND/OR immediately assuming a man (or someone you perceive as a man) you don’t know is out to harm you is t3rf behavior. This belief will not keep you safe, it’s meant to isolate you and put the marginalized men around you in danger. Hating men will not do shit to the bigoted cishet white men in power, but it’ll tell the marginalized men around you that they aren’t welcome around you. This extends to anyone who looks like cis society’s idea of a man, but isn’t actually one, too - do y’all really think trans people of ANY gender say “okay I’m x gender now” and are immediately treated like that gender by society as a whole? Do you think your fear of anyone with facial hair and a deep voice will stop at dangerous cis men, and that only dangerous cis men have those traits? And I’m specifying DANGEROUS cis men because cis men as a group aren’t inherently dangerous. The way someone looks or identifies says nothing about whether they’re “safe” or not! I thought we fucking learned this!!

Poorly explaining my Pikmin LGBT+ hcs cause I’m bored(might be edited in the future)

Olimar: I’m kinda torn between demi or straight ally

Louie: somewhere on the ace spectrum(grey ace probably) but he does like men, uses he/they/it

Alph: gay trans man

Brittany: bisexual who leans VERY heavily into women

Charlie: bi

Lisa/Pom: nonbinary sapphic, uses they/she.

Collin: either gay or achillean(I hc he’s married and has a husband back on Giya)

Shepherd: lesbian(sorry not sorry Dingo)

Russ: pan

Dingo: thinks he’s straight but he’s actually bi

Yonny: transmasc(he did his own top surgery) and is probably somewhere under the nonbinary umbrella. Also no one can quite figure out his sexuality, uses any pronouns.

Bernard: gay(he and Santi are the most on and off pair there is)

literature degrees are just a commitment to die on hills you don’t even fully believe for thousands of footnoted words

Wow they have a lot in common!

They should kiss about it

Damn that’s crazy, who said that???

I'm so curious! What do you dislike about the way Spence is usually written/characterized in the fandom?

I had a longer and more detailed post but then I thought it might make the hoes mad so I’m just gonna say this: he’s infantilized WAY too much for my taste

[sadgirlautumn]

It’s tiring that everything in the Taylor fandom has to be a debate and that people have to worry about getting anons whenever they post their real thoughts on things that happen. People just feel what they want to feel and if they’re upset about something it’s rude to say their feelings are invalid or wrong.

This is how I envision a Bruno and Pacha interaction:

“Mihoyo learn that deifying you’re character and making them capable of no wrong actually makes them less interesting, not deeper” challenge. “Mihoyo stop shooting yourself in the foot” challenge

Seriously though, the sudden shift to the “umm, actually, all the moths were perfect and our girls are following in their footsteps” narrative is… so weird. I can excuse Elysia saying it because her thinking everyone in her close friend group is perfect is very on brand for her, but everyone backing it up? I’m a flame chaser enjoyer, but they fucked things up for themselves. They lost because they were divided and constantly at each other’s throats and couldn’t get their shit together until it was too late, I sure hope the girls aren’t following in their footsteps.

I just don’t get why they wouldn’t just stick with the “the flame chasers laid an incredibly important foundation for the future, but ultimately the current era needs to follow a different path” narrative they had up until this point. I also don’t get why’d they try and make Mei the only one carrying on their legacy when up until now, their legacy has been carried on by pretty much everyone in the story. Other than Fu Hua just you know… actually being a surviving flame chaser (which I would argue automatically makes her connection to them more important than Mei’s), you got Durandal carrying on Su’s legacy and passing his research on to Otto, Seele meeting the AU/memory Sakura, Void Archives, mantises, literally any character who uses a Devine Key…

I’d get it if they were just having Mei be grateful to them or have her truly learn about and appreciate everything they did for the world and how their sacrifices are what gave the current era a fighting chance, but the straight up deification…

Idk man. Senti, Seele, and Bronya are my favorite characters now because they are the only ones who completely survived the shredder

no, i think i get it now

through no fault of his own, gojo was so busy becoming “the strongest” that he didn’t realize he wasn’t there for geto when geto needed it the most.

when geto said “are you gojo satoru because you’re the strongest? or are you the strongest because you’re gojo satoru?” he was intentially trying to hurt gojo. the context and the subtext is important.

gojo was BORN to be the strongest, whether he wanted to be or not. some people are born with blue eyes, some with brown. and some people are born the strongest. that’s what gojo’s strength is like to himself. it’s a part of him, but it’s not who he is. when he was friends with geto, they were close despite that fact. it’s one of the first times someone stood side by side with gojo and didn’t really care if he was the strongest or not.

throughout his life, everyone else hates gojo for something he didn’t ask for. something that he can’t change or give up but something that he was born as. they all stare at him like some kind of circus freak, either in disgust, or in awe.

and geto just says “it’s because you’re too strong.” but they BOTH know that’s a lie. what geto is actually saying is “i’ve decided that you aren’t gojo satoru, the person i’ve loved and lost and fought with side by side anymore. i’ve decided i don’t want you in my life anymore. i’m saying the words that hurt you the most, because i hate you.”

and gojo is angry because his best friend, someone he loves, has just decided to have nothing to do with gojo anymore. it was like a sudden break up because he didn’t give a reason. he gave his reason for leaving jujutsu society but not why he didn’t tell gojo any of it.

tldr: gojo is asking “why didn’t you rely on me? aren’t we friends? why did you choose to go through this all on your own? why didn’t you tell me anything? i thought we were friends!”

and geto is saying “i hate you, just like everyone else. you’re the strongest. you’re not my friend. you’re barely even human. you wouldn’t understand.”

and geto’s saying that because gojo was practicing and training and getting stronger and wasn’t there when geto needed him to be there. and it wasn’t gojo’s fault, he was doing what he was supposed to be doing. gojo wanted to be there but geto chose to shut him out

Just realized reading the piggyback script that the Jonathan and Nancy scene at the cabin, with them covering the window with the wood, parallels to the Steve and Nancy scene at the end of s2 where they’re hanging up the blanket to make the shed look indiscernible for possessed Will… both conversations involve her saying she was impressed with them caring for the kids… and both give the vibe that they’re not exactly not not together with it sort of being up in the air 👀
