#she deserves to be upset

[modawg]

i wish annabeth held more and was able to express more seething rage bc i feel like it would truly elevate her character and i know she has the capacity for it

like i just want her to break some shit and i want her to be fiercely protective and i want her to physically harm people

the only moment i can really think of her doing that is the scene where she punches percy’s bully but when i went back to read that i realised how much it’s really not looked into by rick

for some reason i had it in my head that it was a big moment where annabeth looked like this actual crazy badass who beat tf outta this kid for bullying percy and tho she does look like a badass bro hit him once told him to fuck off and dipped i wanted her to like BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM

annabeth had followed percy all day watched every instance where percy was bullied and just punched him once and walked away ?? nah my annabeth chase would’ve had percy pulling her off him she does not care that he’s mortal she will actually kill him

where’s the feral child on the streets ?? where did she go i want her back

feral abandoned and raised by wolves jason grace ?? more like feral run away and raised by teens annabeth chase

i want her to punch more people please and probably scream a little

Sometimes I think about the fact that first living being to orbit the Earth couldn't understand what was happening to her, couldn't understand the history she was making. Laika wasn't a volunteer. The technology to bring her back alive didn't exist. They sent her up anyway. She died, scared and alone, in a malfunctioning spacecraft hastily built to meet a political deadline.

When her heart rate tripled from the stress of acceleration, did she understand the magnitude of what she was experiencing? When she saw the stars outside her little window, did she believe the world had gone dark? In her final hours, did she feel wonder, or just fear?

"The more time passes, the more I’m sorry about it. We shouldn’t have done it. We did not learn enough from this mission to justify the death of the dog. When you understand that you can’t bring back Laika, that she perishes out there, and that no one can bring her back…that is a very heavy feeling." Oleg G. Gazenko

For me, there's some small consolation, at least, in knowing that although her death was unnecessary and cruel, Laika will never be forgotten. I love you, Laika. May you find peace among the stars.

This is actually what happened and we got a better ending

[momentomori24]

I may just be insane about this but does this feel like foreshadowing to anyone else. In this scene we see her trying to replicate the skill of someone else (her mother) and failing to achieve the same results that they would. That feels really specific and it's driving me insane.

Like, we see this come back again in the aftermath of the trial. Diana has repeatedly voiced her admiration for Wolfgang's ability to speak and inspire those around him in the darkest of times, saying she wished she could do the same. We see her pour her heart out and give her own speech to inspire the others-- except the reaction that she receives is cold and miserable, far from the newly kindled warmth and hope Wolfgang was able to create every time.

Diana is a chameleon. Her whole thing is to reflect, to replicate and to adapt. Do you think that this small scene where she tries to make a butterfly out of her hairclips-- a butterfly, an animal associated with transformation and change-- and the end result looking nothing like what she wanted it to be is a metaphor for her future character arc? She has declared that she wants to follow in Wolfgang's footsteps, wants to become something new, but do you think that by the end she ends up being the furthest thing from him? Do you think that by the end she will be left distorted, fundamentally wrong? Do you think that if she could see what she will become in the future, the only emotion that she can muster is horror as she gazes at a stranger that's supposed to be herself? That by the end, she won't be able to recognise herself, because there's no "her" left anymore?

Penny stardewvalley makes me so sad because she's SO sensitive to, like, basically everything you tell her (telling her that you can't stand children while two children are nearby is a pretty lousy move but -1500 friendship?? being a jerk to other characters' faces typically loses you about 50 points, and if you choose the option labeled "creepy" and ask Leah for a kiss in her 2 heart event she physically hits you and kicks you out of her house but that's only -100 friendship…) and so if you want to befriend her it's a whole lot of lying and tiptoeing around her feelings (2 hearts: George was right but saying that makes her feel bad. 6 hearts: her food sucks but even if you try to be polite about it she feels like a failure; only a bald-faced lie pleases her. 8 hearts: saying you don't want to be tied down with a family loses you a little bit of friendship and she's only happy if you say you want kids) and I can't help but think she's a product of her environment. She lives in a trailer with only her mother, who gets drunk every night and has something of a temper. Penny's like a skittish rescue animal who won’t even come out from hiding under something unless you leave her lots of treats

… thinking about Crystal Palace…neglected girl with super empathy….no wonder she turned out like that. She knows exactly how cruel people can be, including those who are meant to love you.

Ooo your micnight art is luring me closer,,, midnight is SO underrated and the way you talk about her bond with yamada is making the brainworms wriggle,,, ooo this is so fun,,,

Congrats on the worms. Join the club.

If The Hunger Games were in Peeta's POV, and he would talk about Katniss the same way Haymitch talks about Lenore Dove. So I don't want it anymore.

THATS IT I’M TALKING ABOUT IT!!!

Carmilla’s character in Castlevania would have been SO much more impactful if they’d included Laura!

Can you IMAGINE?? What if the reason she tells Dracula “If you loved her, why did you not turn her into a vampire?” Was motivated by the fact that once, SHE loved a human woman? Loved her so much it nearly ached? Filled her world and her otherwise miserable married existence with color and life and vibrancy? Only to loose her to senseless violence and cruel men, in a way not unlike Dracula. Because she couldn’t save her, because she hadn’t turned her. But she didn’t have the power to burn the world for her lost love, she had to sit and fester and grieve and bleed and rot and rage and do nothing.

And even in his grief Dracula has more autonomy than she ever did! Why did his human lover deserve the end of all humanity but hers didn’t? Did it mean she somehow loved Laura less? All she wanted was to be safe and happy and men took Laura from her too, AND her power to avenge her!

It would have paralleled her so much stronger with Dracula. Both fueled by grief and rage, at loosing the woman they cared for most. Except Carmilla did not seek to die, but to feel safe again, to build the world for people like her that Laura did not get to live to see. Maybe it was something they spoke of when Laura was alive. But the rage and the despair twisted Carmilla and ate her alive. Two people so entrenched in grief it would lead to death. One cold and quiet and one loud and screaming, but the end just the same.

Anyways, Castlevania would have been infinitely better if you’d had Carmilla motivated by that sweet specially flavored sapphic grief.

oh i really appreciate how trigger used the boobie bounce in service of making that scene as horrifying as intended (beautiful girl arrives in almost a classic anime girl pose and smile after squashing someone's head like a tomato) i just wish they'd be more consistent with understanding the assignment

[superxnovae]

Why are y'all mad that a bisexual woman who made characters based off herself drew said characters being bisexual
