when you guys walk on a sidewalk, bakugou never and i mean neverrr lets you walk on the side closest to the road. he'll have his large hand on the small of your back as he guides you to the side away from roaring cars.

anddd he does the leaning his head down to hear you thing when you guys are in a loud environment. he'll have his hands buried in his pockets leaning his ear near your lips. if he still can't hear you for whatever reason, he'll place his hand on the small of your back to bring you closer to him. "say it again, baby."

I cannot believe "You can only save those who want to be saved" is something Ninjago writers came up with on their own and not another bible reference.

Moisted up on a Monday afternoon in honor of me finally finishing his series

[c-kiddo]

was worried parts of cr2 would not hold up on rewatch (especially seeing people hate the aeor arc so much) but ngl so far its either been good and fun as hell (travellercon, pirate arc) or just straight up banger after banger. like the xhorhas to angel of irons through to refjorged arc and then the cathedral.................. unrelenting slay

(green // blue means two main options, red means i need to think about it more)

The main details I'm figuring out right now are

does Celebrimbor still die at Eregion - I don't think he's getting captured/tortured, but he could still die in the battle. On the other hand, he could probably survive by using Narya & Lomion using Nenya, but that would definitely have repercussions further down the line

how does Idril's deal work - I'm currently thinking of Idril exchanging the location of Gondolin for her family's guaranteed safety, because it seems in character for Reverse Idril? But on the other hand, even if I limit it to immediate family at the time of the oath (tuor, turgon, earendil) then idk where turgon dies? Maybe Maglor can kill him but that seems kind of random

where and how does Turgon die

how does Prince Elrond's character even work

how does Numenor still fall when factoring in Prince Elrond - I'm thinking that the morgoth death cult gained enough traction during the time sauron was there that even after Elrond kicks him out, the cult still sticks around and reemerges later? The Fall still happens, but they never go to attack valinor and there's a good deal more Faithful (maybe 40-60%?)

[desos-records]

My Adventures With Superman making me cry with Clark believing he's a weapon sent to hurt people and his friends insisting that NO, what you are or what you were created for doesn't matter, what you choose to do matters. and just. I don't know a lot about comic!superman so maybe it just comes from that, but. I can't help but see...

Iron Giant. a weapon who chooses to be Superman. the creators of this show have to know that, probably grew up on it. I can't help but see the cyclical nature of inspiration and folk mythology. if Superman helped the Iron Giant, did Iron Giant help Superman too? this young Clark who is not the near omnipotent god that renders his narrative meaningless, but a real person. In the same sense that we recognize the Iron Giant as a person.

This Clark's story is one where they address the very real world parallels between Clark and immigrants, between him and so-called 'aliens,' a story addressing the real world parallels of seeing the horrible things 'your people' do and hating that they are a part of you. hating yourself for being anything like them. I just. it's so well-done. and interesting. and impactful in a way Superman has never been for me.
