Get Their Ass.

"The key thing was of course, the fact that Rick has PTSD and that's very much what's driving a lot of his behavior and being in a place of that level of vulnerability, back with the love of his life in that way.

It's also the thing he fears, the loss of her. It manifests itself in a way that is visceral and leads to the lovemaking not just being about love, but the revealing of pain and trauma and fear. That informs Michonne, that she can't just blast him into making sense. There's something deeper going on here that he can't verbalize. She has to help him get through in a different way. So she gets to see him, as well, as he reveals what's really in there, the wound. That's going to happen most likely in that most vulnerable space." — Danai Gurira

"Yeah, I think it is about pain. As Danai just said, it's about him wanting her and then fearing what he's about to unlock again. He gets to sort of articulate it in the scene further in the episode, when he gets to say that, 'I can't do this again. I haven't got the capacity to do this again. I've worked out how to die and live again.' So it is an absolutely necessary scene that allows Michonne to realize that there's something really broken here, more broken than she's ever anticipated. [...]

So the scene was about a real intimacy, a sort of frightening intimacy. This is a part of his personality he has shut down. It's almost like he's trying to stop himself from feeling this love again. She sees that and she just says, 'Just trust. We're back. We're the same...' I find it very moving. I think it's a very, very moving scene, because it's about them connecting in a way that he's had to deny for seven years. He's denied that connection for the sake of living on in this half life for the CRM" — Andrew Lincoln

i know i don't have to defend myself online but i do feel like explaining that while some of my fascination with the history of execution and torture stems from a morbid thrill, i do actually find it a genuinely interesting and valuable insight into human psychology and sociology and the history of state violence, structures and abuses of power, and the effectiveness of propaganda and spectacle as a tool of that violence. you cant fight the system if you don't even understand how the system works, after all.

Song - Taking What’s Not Yours by Tv Girl.

(I learnt my lesson from last time so here’s the animated version in the original post)

Highlights of Glass Onion

1-Daniel Craig’s terrible southern accent

2-Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc playing Among Us in his bathtub again Angela Lansbury and Stephen Sondheim

3-“it’s so dumb”“It’s so dumb it’s brilliant”“No! It’s just dumb”

4-literally the whole movie is about how dumb Elon Musk is. Also Zuckerberg. And whoever the fuck the other billionaire is. But also definitely Elon Musk.

4-Benoit Blanc is so clearly gay in such a casual way I love it

5-Janelle Monáe

6-The very clear messaging of ‘you will never take down a person like this through the legal ways so just beat the shit out of them until something gives’

7- everyone is clearly having the time of their lives making this movie

when ur ladies man comedic relief pretty boy sidekick turns into the most complex layered queer character known to man 

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

not spop-related but i can't post this on my main blog so.

i do find it funny how most of the fan depictions of belos were far more interesting and detailed than s3 belos. i've seen fanart and fanfics of him where he's a complex villain struggling with religious guilt and then the canon is just like.. lmao yeah he's pure evil. kill him.

[nyaskitten]

Hmm kinda odd people only really draw heavily hated characters like Wu or Misako as Asian, and not any of the other main characters in a show very clearly set in a heavily East-Asian inspired setting!!!

[instantmilktee]

dumb spicy take: L does not listen to math rock or alternative or indie pop. He doesn’t listen to mitski or cavetown

He listens exclusively to hyperpop-ified tchaikovsky bc it overstimulates his brain and stops him from thinking

Every day I find new layers of how deeply The Dark Urge is a love letter to absolute fucking feral freaks.

Juanaflippa died to an error in the code, and so will her father.

Q!Slime's downward spiral started because of a glitch which he thought he was responsible for, and in doing everything he can to undo what happened, to punish and isolate himself, to claw back any semblance of normality after his daughter and niece died even if that means sinking into deep denial, in doing all of these things and mentally torturing himself for months, he's going to succumb to a glitch himself.

I can't handle this, the parallel is actually destroying me. The circular narrative. It's going to end exactly how it started.

It's going to end exactly how it started.

Kinda ironic that ryan said "this goes beyond friendship and I love you to the core" like that's canon eddie -- but buck doesn't know because eddie has never said that in so many words (yet)

i need a platonic "i love you" between these two more than i need air

[party-gilmore]

The fact that some of the best* media depictions of physical disability (including lesser cared for one’s like tinnitus and psychosomatic pain), ptsd, adhd/autism overlap, unpacking childhood trauma, unhealthily codependent parent-child relationships, narcissistic personality disorder, and non-linear progress of trying and failing to address some of these issues, is in… of all fucking shows and characters, Archer???

…kind of sad, honestly, and yet WEIRDLY delightful**

*(read: realistic, not necessarily ideal or unproblematic, just messy and harsh and genuine tbh like real life)

**((given how damn attached I am to this boy and see a more than a little of myself in him and how he’s basically the male version of my original OC I would use to disappear into escapist fantasy where I could be as Mary Sue angry and snarky and bitter and slutty and cool and awesome and edgy as little old middle school me WANTED to be))

@ people who make Ed a "naur my soft widdle baby Eddie-pie just had trauma amd that's why he traumatised the crew and did all that fucked up shit 🥺🥺🥺"

Why do you refuse to have nuanced characters? Why deny him the sauce?

[swooningshadow]

something to be said for some weed earth shattering orgasms old leftover spaghetti and modded skyrim that just screams "lame old pervert" that's just essential to my core

[agentark]

in my head, B & R really are two sides of the same coin
