#literally sobbing thinking about them

[mediocrefruitlover]

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THEY BUILT A HOME AND A BEAUTIFUL LIFE IN A TRAGIC DYSTOPIAN WORLD. THEY HAD 16 YEARS TOGETHER AND THEY DIED IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS. THEY GREW STRAWBERRIES AND WATERED THEIR PLANTS AND PAINTED AND COOKED AND THEY LOVED EACH OTHER 😭😭😭😭😭 THEY WERE EACH OTHER'S PURPOSE 😭😭😭😭

I've never felt so seen than seeing Kamala Khan's room and just watching her throughout the entire movie. Like I'm sorry the mention of fanfiction threw me completely. Like oh my god I love her so much. I read the Ms Marvel comics when I was 11 and I cried when her series was announced and when it came out. To actually see live representation of her in a MOVIE was more than I could've dreamed of. The Marvels is such an amazing Movie 😭💕

I feel bad for Starlo.

Star has a point, idk what the four were ticked off about, there is like 99% chance everyone willingly participated in the trolley problem, based on what we've seen of his behavior thus far it's not like Starlo to be that big of a jerk/drag them by force/yell at them to do it. Ed's words:

he does it because Star asks NICELY

clearly jealous

It genuinely seemed like a fun time/fun roleplay, especially since every day is the same. Like, the five are supposed to be a rowdy and adventures bunch, what exactly did Starlo do wrong, I'm genuinely confused and curious. Except taking a big liking in Clover (his posse should know that this is a big moment for him, according to Blackjack they've known each other since high school and had the same liking for westerns. So they were basically a nerd gang.) Starlo was kind, patient and considerate towards Clover the whole time, even warned Mooch about them not being bandits, taught Clover gun safety, wanted to bring his posse along for a fun time, thanked Ace for telling him about getting Clover a new hat...

Sure, at first he only liked Clover for being a human, but as Ceroba says, that changed and he grew to genuinely care about them, plus I can't help but think Star saw himself in Clover and that's part of the reason he was so proud of them all the time even when they messed up (I'll talk more about this at some point)

What exactly made Ace want to leave the gang? He even said how he doesn't mind "getting run over by the fake train"

he's so nice. says sorry for forgetting the safety goggles even when he was scatterbrained due to his excitement. I love him so much

The only real "faults" (I'll call them temporary faults) I saw in Star during the Wild East section was that he was even more enthusiastic and more proud than usual. But how couldn't he be when he met a member of the species that he has admired for so long because they have real cowboys and sheriffs on the surface (who are seen as brave heroes who deliver justice, while Star canonically feels like a nobody farmer). His posse should have realized Clover wouldn't be there forever and just let their boss enjoy himself with his "deputy who'd have to leave sooner or later anyway"(or be more patient with him/ask him why he feels this strongly towards Clover/if there's a deeper reason for that). His friends including Ceroba just turn their back on him so quickly instead. The moment he's gotten the chance to feel valued for once and put himself first and not have to take care of this whole town and everyone in it and live his dream of meeting a real human, suddenly "his personality is damaged?"

Star's literally built this whole town, organised everything, he worries about everyone, Ceroba (plus was the one to give her emotional strength before and after Clover's sacrifice), Kanako, the monsters, his family, struggles with feelings of worthlessness yet never wipes that smile off his face, always does his best to be hopeful and optimistic and make others laugh, gave his posse a nap time so they don't become exhausted, gave Ceroba a free home, didn't act upon his feelings towards her and was a 110% supportive, caring friend instead. THAT'S who he is. He's the papa bear of this friend group, the glue holding everyone together.

He was just *really* excited. Y'all know he's insecure and just wishes to escape who he is and yet y'all blame him for liking Clover so much. Yeah, the four are very clearly jealous. But why won't the four of you control your feelings for a while? As mentioned, Clover WILL HAVE TO LEAVE EVENTUALLY. They won't be Star's "deputy" forever (the kid who's just as into westerns as he is, who values justice just as much, who also values doing the right thing. Someone he clearly felt understood in the presence of, whom he loved; just look at the way he talks about Clove during Showdown). Star seems genuinely confused of what he did wrong poor guy just wanted to live his fantasy for once and feel important:

Even at the beginning Moray's like "oh no Martlet is upset" Mooch replies "don't be a buzzkill nothing exciting ever happens around here" and Ray's like "Yeah you've got a point"

If you all agreed to have a little fun with a human who will very soon leave forever why is Starlo's enthusiasm such a big problem? If the posse weren't into this after all (unless they were simply too jealous which could have been solved with a honest talk and a little patience) why are you doing this "rowdy" job with Star in the first place? Do you want your boring routine day to day life so much back? Or just for Clover to leave (which they will soon enough)? You, western enthusiasts, literally met a real human, A HUMAN FROM WESTERNS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PASSIONATELY INTO (clearly not as passionate as Star but passionate ENOUGH to understand where he's coming from).

... okay.

i watched Dead Poets Society a few days ago and havent been the same since:( just been thinking about how Todd grieves, its the purest form i have ever seen. like at least once a day i have thought of that one scene and almost started crying. just the thought of feeling so much emotional pain, the chock, the throwing up, the nonsensical screaming and the pure p a i n he must have felt… imagine loving someone so much that the loss of them feels like the loss of yourself,..

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

hold on wait im unable to Scribble rn but i had this Lights Out interaction in my head and i need to put it somewhere before i forget. Okay so the scene is Howdy, Poppy, Frank, and Wally are all having quiet time in the post office. just vibing.

Howdy: i'm going to say something harsh

Poppy: that's alright. we understand <3

Howdy:

There's always a slight yearning in the back of my mind wishing I had been born in the right place, time, family situation, income level, etc. to have just lived in one single house for my entire life. Imagine being born in a place that still suits you, even through all of your personal evolutions and etc. The idea of deep familiarity with an area because you've lived and explored it for 40+ years, being encased in a web of memories and connections. Being able to clean out your old childhood bedroom and find personal artifacts, to dig in the yard and remember. I know those lives can still be plenty imperfect, but there's just something so seemingly solid and stable and Grounding about it that I sometimes wish I could have.. (At least from my outside perspective as someone who's moved around a bit geographically and even within the same area, never lives in the same house/ apartment /etc. for more than a few years usually.) Like... having a place that is printed upon, fully your own, rather than chronically a visitor, every thought of a space always tempered with the notion that one day soon you'll have to pack it all up again, etc. There's something peaceful about the permanence.

I'll truly die on my Baatar/Asami besties agenda like they're both smart, rich bitch, engineers who come from family money, you CANNOT tell me they wouldn't have the absolute most Donatella-by-LadyGaga coded friendship of all time. Even when on opposing sides they still go to brunch to gossip, talk the latest in fashions, architecture, and innovations, while also waging subtle psychological warfare on each other trying to get information from the other. And when things actually get serious and everyone else is throwing hands the absolute WORST thing they could do to each other is say something like "Brunch nest Tuesday? It is OFF." or "Oh and your outfit. A bit tacky wouldn't you say?" and the other would take ACTUAL PHYSICAL damage from that LOLOL worse than if they'd literally fought each other hand to hand, it's so serious for them.

Then weeks later at some social/political gathering they are standing next to each other not making eye contact and be like "I am NOT talking to you. However-" and then proceed to gossip like nothing happened askdjf please I need their friendship so badly it's my FAVORITE. Korra and Kuvira are standing there looking at the two of them talking in their upper class gucci prada versace-ass language and are like "what the fuck are they even saying?"

the thing that really breaks my heart about arthur and sadie's friendship is the fact it's so rooted in loss. they're two characters who love deeply and know the pain of losing that love, know there's no going back to being the person you were before it. you see this instinct in both of them to want to pull back and be alone, and yet they never do it with each other. it's like they can't. like they need each other to reflect the loneliness, to acknowledge the empty spaces but also their deep-set capacity for love. they remind themselves of the worst and the best in one another. they remind themselves that, they can't go back, but maybe they aren't all changed either.

and it fucking kills me that when arthur dies, sadie loses that. she ambles around, blindly reaching out for that marker in her life that tells her that awful pain and meaningful connection can co-exist, and she doesn't have it. she reconciles with the thought of dying. she even welcomes it. she's alone and angry and chasing the worst of the worst and seeing no evidence that the hurt fucking means anything.

then she reconnects with john. she sees his love for abigail and jack. for arthur. sees his effort in building something new from ashes and the stale stench of gunpowder. and suddenly she can reflect again, see the good in them, in herself if the light shines just right. she can protect the things she had loved so very dearly as a different sadie long ago. she goes from wanting death to gritting her teeth and refusing it because yes she's a ghost but she's brought into flesh and blood through the goodness of the people around her. their love. their connection. she's real. she can make something good happen here.

in the end she can't stay. she doesn't belong, not really. sadie's great tragedy is that she believes she can't hold those wonderful things in her chest anymore - it's too full of death and regret and long, long grief. but i'd like to think she learns in the final chapters that she's still tethered to the living. there's a life for her out there, as joyous and awful as her last, if only she would reach out her hand.

I was watching A Very Supernatural Christmas (bc tis the season) and I was really struck by this moment towards the end of the episode that I totally forgot about. It's hard to capture in just screenshots but god, it gutted me. In just that ten second pause between "Hey Dean," and "Do you feel like watching the game?" you could see that there's so much Sam wanted to say, but couldn't. With just his eyes I could hear him saying, "I'm going to miss you next year. I'm going to miss you once you're gone. And I love you." But he didn't say that, because he didn't want bring down the mood. He just wanted to leave all that fear behind for the time being and appreciate this moment with his brother while he had it.

Jared's always been an incredible actor to me, but this really proves it. There's so much that he says with just his eyes and tone of voice that can convey so much love and so much grief, all at once, while barely saying a word. It takes a lot to say a line as pedestrian as "hey do you wanna watch the game" and make it really about how much it hurts that his brother is going to be dead by the end of the year. It's such a beautiful performance and seeing Sam talk this way just breaks my fucking heart.

had a dream last night that GVF put on a Christmas concert in Nashville

naturally, they opened with Built By Nations
