Vivienne is not pro-templar as many would think. She is just using the resources she has in hand in order to work with a system that would rather throw her and the rest of the mages into an inescapable pit. Vivienne's insistence of using the templars is indicative of her awareness of the dangers of magic but she has made it clear that as much as magic serves man, templars serves mages as protectors. She does not trust templars as much as the average mage but knows that there is no easy solution to the weak Veil and the lack of protection the mage rebellion has brought upon other Circle mages. Vivienne does not hate or look down upon other mages as her efforts are clearly to support the mages if she is made Divine. Additionally, her quest was initially supposed to be about collecting phylacteries in order to keep mages safe from templars and mage hunters. She cares about mages enough to chain the templars and if you have a good relationship with her, allow the College to exist.

People give Valka a lot of shit which makes me sad bc her flaws are what make her interesting, and I LOVE thinking about her character.

Like, Have we considered how she had Hiccup at 20 and was married before that? Have we considered that, though she was in love with Stoick, marrying the Chief (or soon-to-be-chief) is a lot of responsibility? Have we considered how young 20 is and Hiccup takes after her in so many ways, not feeling ready for responsibility or wanting to settle down could be one of them? Have we considered she deliberately didn't come back because she maybe felt she wasn't ready to be a mother? Have we considered she loves Hiccup and Stoick so dearly but needed to live her own life? Have we considered how bittersweet the reunion really was because she realized she missed her chance to actually be a mother and how much the guilt of not coming back must've weighed on her?

I LOVE YOU VALKA HTTYD!!!!!!!

What character from SU do you think Donnie (can be from any au or just the canon show :3) would relate to/kin ? I’m curious .. you can say what you think the other turtles would be too if you want !! YAP!! YAP TO US!!

not only is donnie peridot-coded but he also would ABSOLUTELY kin the shit out of her from the moment he sees her. like cmon she is intended to be autistic. her complete lack of gem abilities, and donnie's aversion to mystic powers for the majority of the show (because he doesnt understand them!!). her feelings of physical inadequacy because she's short! he would get drawn in by the aura-farming and appeal of a more technologically-inclined character and then get hit with SHE JUST LIKE ME FR FUUCCKKKKK. i think before peridot is introduced he would relate the most to pearl though

(just started s5 e1 of Miss Scarlet and the Duke)

and im surprised they brought in another young hotshot as inspector??!

I dont know whether I'm more surprised I didn't see it coming OR surprised they introduced a new potential.... "romantic" rival so quickly??

Which also begs the question, IS he supposed to be a romantic interest??

I think given Eliza's character traits and her professional pursuits and dynamics with any Scotland Yard worker, it feels like it should be unlikely, but I'm not sure whether that's just me being incredulous and teensy bit unwilling to let go of william lol. Still, it feels odd to "move on" so quickly, and I'm hoping showrunners will let Eliza be herself for some time without pressures to have to link up some man.

It's been refreshing (as an ace person) to see the focus of the writing on her hijinks and adventures, and while I enjoy a romance as much as an fanfic-reading fan, keeping her romantic life as second fiddle is what sets MSATD apart for me. (second fiddle in the best way)

Bc there's still romantic tension and banter and EEE glances, so I LOVE that, but I also love being confronted with a woman who pursues, struggles, loses, adapts, but doesn't compromise her professional passion (and seeing all the consequences from that).

for my fake mmo plot here take my beloved two grown men and their online daughter who doesnt have tact (they try to teach her how to be nice online and unfortunately it's not going super well)

Mister Delta - a mage in game who really enjoys PvP and is a high ranker. He's a teacher irl and his last name is Change so he made a stupid chemistry joke for a username.

Lord Kappa - wanted to be King Kappa but it was taken so he's just vibing with a different honorific. Is a chef irl. Has a very big crush on Delta.

Little Lambda - the actual teenager (like baby teen, 13/14 or something) who doesn't really have friends in school. Mostly interacts with her dad irl who calls her "little lamb" and when she realized it was taken online, she googled "words that start with lamb" and went with lambda with no further research. Has zero online etiquette but she's working on it..... kinda.

(her apology was "I'm sorry that you're gay and didn't want people to know" and so Kappa was like "great thank you for this apology." and now he's like WELP my crush knows I'm gay now but we're online so it's fine and nothing will come from this and it's fine)

Arcane has shown me that everyone has become so obsessed with "girlbosses are bad/femininity is counterculture" they forgot that feminine women are capable of doing terrible things & have the privilege of being defended while never extending that same grace to butch women even when they're victims.

i think human nature/family of blood is a really good two parter in how it manages to show how full of shit ten is 🫶

Thinking how much of it is inevitable and you're never ready but all your bonds and relationships have an expiration date and one day it will be the last

my hater moment about marvel designs is that female superheroes are overwhelmingly young. and also other things but thats a big one.

[vamppvania]

They're still toxic Yuri btw. They couldn't be together in any universe because their mutual obsession would cause them both to make harmful sacrifices for the other. It wasn't necessarily healthy but it was everything. There's no regrets because what matters is that love was there. It was always there. Everything stays but it's still changing.

wanna talk about your ocs some moreee? (plsplsplsplsplsplspls)

DO I. vibrating at incredibly high frequencies rn what better place to start than once again w the yarrow siblings bc WOW. THEY DRIVE ME NUTS!! like. for example ive been thinking of bella again more recently n feel incredibly sick ovr it all, ik I briefly mentioned sm stuff abt her before BUT? shes actually the eldest sister of all time guys n let me explain:

where to even begin. she was the first of her parent's eventual "failures", while being graced w gen love n kindness at first from them they quickly grew "tired" of her n she could never understand why. one day they were indulging her whims, pinching her cheeks n letting her come everywhere w them, n the next she was tugging at her mother's skirt hem n her fathers hand asking to be picked up n they only tiredly looked at her this time n told her to "stop being fussy" n that was that. when she heard they were having another kid it felt like she was being "replaced" n her chest hurt so bad and her eyes welled up n she ended up running to her room n slamming the door n crying into her pillow bc she just wanted her parents back n knew that now she'd really never get to have them again. when her baby brother was finally born tho, her mother made her hold him n at first bella only frowned sullenly down at him bc really- this is what they were replacing her with? but something inexplicable softened inside of her against her will when he softly smacked his little fist against her chest n ended up snuggling closer to her, n she ended up walking around the house simply carrying him for a while until he fell asleep so her mom could rest. when they eventually realized there was something wrong w myer- that being his near inability to see pretty much anything- suddenly he wasnt their cute kid anymore he was something that was "too much work" bc of this, n so what do they do? they pawn him off on bella of course, n u can guess how well that goes over. not only have they replaced her but now they've turned her into myers sole caretaker pretty much bc theyre gone so much of the time (AT AGE 8 MIND YOU.) once, bella shut the door in myers face n told him to go away, only to open it hours later n see him sitting right outside fiddling w the carpet in the dark. she felt so guilty tht she started crying n hugged him close n said she was sorry over n over. like she really felt like he “took” her parents love at first, but now? it feels like he's simply in the same boat as her n she has no choice but to step up for him bc if not her then who else. tht doesnt mean she still didnt struggle w him, far from it in fact, but while she has these mixed emotions, she also knows that despite myer not being able to see her much, whenever he hears her voice its enough to bring him running from the opposite end of the house to her n that means something to her. AND I HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN TO KEITH N LORELEI YET THE FUCK OF IT ALLLLL. when bella once AGAIN hears tht her mom is having another kid, TWINS this time she nearly loses it because she simply doesnt understand why both her n myer arent good enough n why theyve been discarded. when keith n lorelei arrive ofc its only a matter of time bf theyre all but pushed onto bella to take care of, n shes so so tired at this point but she simply steels herself n accepts bc she wont allow them to be abandoned. keith is a sullen little brat who's too angry so much of the time but she understands bc shes like that too deep down still. lorelei nearly never sleeps n her n keith cause so much trouble tgt but shes also the one to hug bellas leg n tell her she loves her no matter if they just fought or not. n bella may feel bitter but she'll still read them the books she found at the dump at night n listen to them all n let them pull on her apron n whine when shes trying to make things n like. they annoy her so much she wishes her parents never had them she doesnt know how to live without them now she'd do anything to protect her broken little family she wouldnt know what to do if she lost any of them, n all of these feelings just explode when the draft comes n her parents abandon them all n now its officially her turn to be the head of their fam. do not even get me started on bella being the one to go to the war in place of myer either bc I will not stop SOMEBODY SEDATE MEEEEE

@starsweepers liked for a starter!

"okay, kiddo." steve started, an almost serious look on his face. he holds up two little bottles, nail polish - the sparkly kind to be exact. "what're we thinking for the nails tonight? pink or purple?" and by 'the nails' he meant his own of course. he had no qualms about walking around with sparkly pink or purple nails, especially if it made dawn happy. "and y'know what? we can do yours with the other color so we can be matching."
