Thinking about "your weakness is how you always want to be the hero" and how the series returns to this at the end
Li Lianhua hated how he acted as Li Xiangyi and spent years trying to distance himself from it, but ultimately he still fell back into the similar patterns, for all his added experience
His main priority was always to "do the right thing" regardless of how that would impact on those around him. And it *did* impact those around him. From Qiao Wanmian and Shan Gudao as Li Xiangyi to Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng as Li Lianhua
Giving the Styx flower to the emperor so he could use it as leverage to guarantee Fang Duobing and his family's safety. Using the last of his power to save Yun Biqiu. Constantly putting others above himself whilst actively refusing to recognise that his self-sacrificial nature would hurt those he cared about most
And sure, he thinks he's going to die anyway. They're going to be hurt regardless and he can't do anything about that. His odds are low of the Styx flower even working. But ultimately, he refuses to even consider trying. Li Xiangyi has been dead a long time and Li Lianhua is just there to tide things over. What value is the life of a ghost
To the end, he lives and dies a hero. To the end, he refuses to live for himself.

the thing about bakoda. is that even if they didn't get rid of bato (the fact that they DID is proof of what i'm about to say) they would not have made it gay because that episode/tension that would ensue is actually too good. like it's Too thematic. these new showrunners would not... they would not be able to juggle katara's "why are you trying to replace My Mom bato?!" and sokka's "so what does that mean for my concept of masculinity then?!" in a way that brings the story to a new place while honoring the original. it would be awesome if they could. but. alas.

I think The Riddler is a bad choice for a starting Batman villain if you want to show off Bruce being A Detective because The Riddler’s whole thing is literally leaving clues specifically for people to find and solve.
Like, idk, to me, it’s not super indicative of how great a detective someone is if they’re finding the clues left by Mr. Leaves-Clues-A-Lot.

Update regarding last night's post: My brother (age 13, definitely has heard worse when he went to public school) has now been banned from watching Spy X Family because of the "language".
If you want evidence that my mom is an absolute whackjob, she willingly let him watch Deadpool and Venom when he was in elementary school.

Today is the day of Be My Favorite EP.2 and also June 🌈
so it's a perfect time to remind everyone that Krist Perawat is back to playing in BL (with adorable Gawin who's getting his main lead role and the whole introvert world shaken) — and he's been consistently supporting LGBTQA+ community and rooting for the queer rights for years *-*
And even recently Krist openly supported the Move Forward party on political voting in Thailand in 2023, which is a progressive liberal party who works for the good and useful changes, equal rights in the country and especially prioritizes the same-sex marriage bill. Their color is orange, and that's why Krist posted about voting with the orange heart 🧡
So please support Be My Favorite series, the first episode already got a lot of attention and positive reviews ^^ I hope the other episodes will continue the hype🔥 It's about time-travelling, romance and huuuge character development!
Krist is really sweet as a person and an actor, he's loved in Asia a lot, and his character Kawi is your local chaotic gremlin xD You cannot help but love him (or at least be entertained by him)
Anyway, just wanted to let you know about a good ally who genuinely enjoys working in BL and take on new challenges, and also does his best to support the queer community. Go watch Be My Favorite and Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈

canon divergent AU where OG! Bianca and Ailette's deathdates were later, so Cardinal Cartelyena only visits the Gilette Mansion and brings Ailette to the Vatican some time after the Day of Sacrifice, after the mess caused by the Toy Mansion is settled.
There's two ways this AU can go:
1. Ailette meets a heavily traumatised Tesilid who watched his roommate kill everyone else and then himself.
2. Ailette doesn't cross paths with Tesilid. When the 17th starts, they do not have the pre-established trust that they have in canon. Ailette is playing on ultra-hard mode, as if being in an SS-class world wasn't already hard enough. Tesilid also has no reason to pretend to be nicer than he actually feels like being, so their dynamic is also very different.

im so sad didn't get the experience of being a xmen fan in the 70 up to the 2000's, it was the golden era, the moment to be a fan
the latest xmen movies are just not good ... ( days of future past is okay but dark phoenix is a huge no ) and there is no very active fandom like for others marvel superheroes
