#lovers over haters

[nonsenseexistence]

It gave me the vibes, so I had to do something about it.

always surprised to see people who are fans of a show - that specifically preaches kindness and fighting for your love for things despite the haters and skinning racists with snail forks - be the kind of "fans" who are the exact antithesis of that like truly what are you slipping in your morning cappuccino babes

Just a glimpse into my dark reality.

The rise of "let people enjoy things" is single handedly the backbone of the rise of anti intellectualism

WHEN TRANSFORMERS ONE RELEASES IN THEATRES THE AUTISM WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE CONTAINED. EXPLODES

[midnightsslut]

just re-ranked taylor’s albums for the first time since ttpd started to settle in, and i’ve realized that a new release hasn’t changed up the order of other albums since folklore came out. now i’m curious. share your pre-ttpd and post-ttpd ranking and which album changed the most.

I've just watched deadpool and in my mind there's a version of loki in which the baddie is president loki. As it happens in the comics, sylvie is a normal girl that one day wakes up with magic powers (that loki gave her). She starts being hunted down by the tva because she's a variant, she wasn't supposed to exist with her magic powers in her timeline, and thus is very easy for president loki to take her under his wing and manipulate her so she assists him in his nefarious plan

that would only add more onto the very obvious paralels between sylvie and loki and loki and thor, in which our loki ends up in the position he always left thor at. loki could just take a look to Sylvie and president Loki and still tell her: this is not the way, while fully thinking about himself and thanos. I know you feel this is your only escape. I know you're in such a bad place that the only solution that comes to mind is destroying everything. that you're ready to do whatever it takes to do it. trust me, i've been where you are. trust me, this is not the way

the way they could have done such a nice thing about loki accepting himself, about him making peace with his inner self i will forever be so bitter about it.

and of course loki and mobius would smooch, but if I start ranting about the missed opportunity of an epic romance OUTSIDE TIME AND SPACE I WILL SCREAM

I said this in the comments of the new TGS page already but I’m gonna put it on here too 👀

I think there’s an important difference in how Jekyll treats Lanyon after their night together.

All the other boys that Lanyon was with were immediately flustered by Lanyon’s flirting and allowed him to have more power in their relationship; they ended up putting Lanyon on a pedestal of sorts. With that power that Lanyon is given by the other boys, he feels as though leaving them is easier, almost punishing them for their vulnerability.

But with Henry, I’m expecting that he doesn’t respond to Lanyon in the same way as everyone else did. He knows what will happen if he shows signs of attachment, so he acts just as casually as Lanyon does. He treats him like an equal in their relationship, as though their feelings and wants are the same. This “lack of attachment” ends up meaning that their relationship lasts eight months and Lanyon is devastated to end it, so I wonder what the progression of feelings was like over that time for both Jekyll and Lanyon 👀✨

Sometimes I think about Indigo Girls lyrics and have to just weep for a minute

maybe once edgeworth got closure about his dad and nightmares and shit he started adding herbal sleep tea to his repertoire of teas. maybe drinking tea with phoenix is like his love language. maybe i only now realized that whenever edgeworth is pictured in his office, in a relatively calm and secure space, he is drinking tea to relax.

So: I think Gregory used to drink tea a bunch and that Manfred didn’t catch on because it was a fancy-ass thing, but it’s always been a comfort for Miles and something about a warm cuppa just finally lets him sit down and just be for a little bit. The voices in his head can be a little quieter, a little more peaceful, because something about the act of enjoying brewed leaves just calms him down in spite of it all.

Phoenix hates tea because of Dahlia and yet just sitting quietly with a drink and his husband is good enough to replace the enjoyment.

oh my god a fellow ****** anti for petty reasons !!!! hello !!!! i am also !!! a bucktommy stan for petty reasons !!!

I mean, I'd argue I don't anti them. I quite love them even if I don't ship them even more (I even wrote a post shooting, pre-bvddie fic way back when) and I genuinely love bucktommy

But I will fully admit that the pettiness inside of me makes me ship them even harder. Honestly it's a good way to get back at the annoying ppl! Oh you hate this thing I already like? well let me be absolutely loud and insane and love it even more. How do you like THEM apples??

Thinking about geto because I want to pour milk on him and throw him against the wall. Imo his beliefs are inconsistent and self serving (which makes sense because he developed said beliefs at age 16/17 while his mental health was at an all time low). Because while he seems to have the primary motive of "only sorcerers = no curses" taking into account how he treats Maki, who has no cursed energy, it shows that the "no curses" thing isnt the main focus- bc while he decided on tbe "forced evolution" thing, theoretically he should not be Opposed to ppl w heavenly restriction bc. They still fuckin. Don't contribute to curses from what I can tell. Also heavenly restriction is pretty obviously something that is punished by uh. Is it just the Zenin's who have it. Anyway they hated Maki and they Hated Toji so he clearly isn't standing for "oppressed sorcerers" bc if so Maki should be like. The kind of person he wants to help more, as someone who would be oppressed by ppl who aren't sorcerers as well as the powerful clans.

Anyway. While getting rid of curses is for sure part of his motivation, as well as helping sorcerers (see Nanako and Mimiko) id honestly argue that his main problem that lead to him spiraling was. How do I put this. Being knocked off a pedestal

Because he was one of 3 people given the ranking of "Special Grade", and he and satoru are grouped as "the strongest". And consider that satoru comes from a powerful clan and literally has some weird omniscience and invincibility shit going on so that's a whole fucking. That's gotta be a wild ego boost, especially for someone who comes from a family of ppl who aren't sorcerers. Like you spend all this time being a fuckin weirdo and then someone finds you and it turns out you're actually incredibly special and strong, given the same rank as a fucking God Child? You're gonna have some wild self perceptions after that

Anyway then you get to watch your invincible friend get stabbed, watch the girl you became friends with and feel shitty about kinda ruining the life of get shot, and get your whole shit rocked by some guy who can't even use the magic power bullshit you have. (Though he's got a whole physical thing going on because of the trade off)

Also writing all of this out actually makes me understand the Cult Leader progression more, like besides the fact they killed ur friend and you want em dead. You're probably struggling with your ego (especially since your weird God like friend got a whole power boost from the situation) so you create a fucking eugenicist cult where you can consistently prove your superiority to yourself (surrounding yourself with people who will agree with everything you say).

Anyway in a similar vein I wholely believe in "a loving father is not inherently a good father" Suguru + Nanako & Mimiko dynamic

Final thought is roughly I feel like looking at Suguru thru the lense of "this character had a level of privilege that they felt they truly deserved, and after experiencing events that are genuinely traumatic and horrific for any person, they develop reactionary beliefs to try and regain a sense of superiority and control" rather than "oppressed minority who killed oppressors and wants to do eugenics"
