He was a kid living in a container he was a kid he was just a child. He was a child and he lived in a cold metal container in a dumpster. He lived alone in a container, a child. Even if he was feared and respected in the mafia not a single person thought “this is a child, living alone in a container in a dumpster, that’s fucked up”. Did no one else think of him as a child? Did they simply think he was a monster? Was he not just a child alone in a cold abandoned dump? Not even mori, who actually saw himself in this little kid? Did he not bother to make him live in a warm home? Eve chuuya got his own apartment. “Nooo but it was probably his choice” yeah since when can you trust the choices of a child who has been alienated by every adult in his life and treated like a monster, when he’s so obviously in pain and alone and needs help whether he likes it or not? I don’t care what he wants to do, hes a child and he needs a home, what the fuck? God, someone give this kid a bowl of soup, hot chocolate and a tv to sit in front of. Someone give him a couch and a blanket.

i also think that cas as a character fundamentally feels like he doesn't Belong and that's something they did accidentally but can be interpreted as an allegory for multiple different experiences that all resonate with people. Misha has talked about how he wasn't intending him to be Not Like Other Angels, all the angels were supposed to be like that, they just. didn't end up doing that. And because it wasn't intentional at first I think the angel/human cas debate/endgame/storylines resonate differently to different people who relate to it in different ways. Outside of the debate of what should/would most likely happen in canon I've seen a cas actively choosing to be a man be important to people for gender reasons. I've also seen a human!cas who chooses to be human be important as an allegory for leaving a toxic family and choosing your own found family. And I also see angel!cas be important to people as an allegory for neurodivergency and the idea that he should be accepted as an angel the way he is, that there's nothing "wrong" with him as he is. he's such a beautiful complex character and i think people connect with lots of different aspects of him and idk i think it's really cool. i love castiel

When I came across that "joke" from Tav to Quill and Z'rell's comment (plus Halsin), I had to take a minute to process what happened. Gale might be a bit silly and eccentric but he's the kindest, sweetest and most passionate character in that party. No wonder the poor man has deep insecurities to solve, so many people reduce him to an easy target! Ofc one of the side effects would be overconfidence and ambition as a defense mechanism. He's obv lonely; only Tara and Morena ever loved him for him.
his eccentric nature might be a part of it. he is loquacious, outgoing, and doesn’t see the point in hiding his enthusiasm. he is considered to be the weird one. naturally, wizards in general being seen as somewhat squishy and physically weak might also add to it.
personally, i really don’t like the implications of the (widely considered) autistic-coded character being the one who faces the most ridicule by far by other characters and fans (and larian) alike.
some might disagree with me on that, but i don’t find it funny by any means either. mostly it just makes me feel bad. “he deserves it. cocky, arrogant, hubris-ridden wizard needs to be taken down a peg” like he isn’t… y’know… already at his lowest. it also disregards the fact that much of his bravado is part of his carefully curated Great Wizard of Waterdeep™ persona that he has skillfully adopted to mask his general feeling of being defective. being fiercely proud of your skill and knowledge and being doubtful of having something truly worthwhile to offer are mindsets that can coexist. according to fandom, gale is either secret hubris incarnate that is only waiting to be unleashed upon the world or pure baby that can do no wrong. instead of a character that is just as flawed and traumatized as all the others, but no less deserving of genuine love.
to me, the constant ridicule just reads as further feeding into his deep-rooted insecurities and his belief that he (as gale, the person) isn’t someone who holds inherent worth. it really, really doesn’t sit well with me.

relistening to mag 78 with my newfound power of hindsight is so funny because holy shit jon’s choice to take an axe to the web table after hearing that statement was actually the most deranged choice he could have made. the statement was so vague about what dekker actually did to the notthem and jon, inexperienced as he was in the realm of the supernatural and the fears, decided Not to consult anyone else, Not to do more research and Not to think critically about his actions, instead immediately buying an Axe and exiling all his coworkers from the building in order to Destroy the table. completely predictable of s2 jon’s paranoid ass but STILL absolutely INSANE BEHAVIOR

My Personal Highlights for the latest chapter.
Heavy Spoilers for book 7 under the cut obviously!
Floyd's ADHD ass floating around because he lives for the struggle™. (Relatable)
Floyd's entire waking up sequence:
Floyd flying through the air upside down, on fire, and collared so fast that you could miss it if you didnt pause on the exact frame.
Riddle quite literally vibrating with anger and requiring TWO (2) whole professors to hold him back when he is a solid 5'2".
Floyd spending the rest of the flashback upside down and you only see his shoes sticking up.
Jade dancing around and cackling at Floyd while he's upside down.
Azul pretending not to see it because he's been dealing with them for years.
The fact that Night Raven College definitely has never had a normal orientation.
Riddle being the thing that triggers Floyd's brain to wake up. It is a character theme for them atp.
Bioluminescence. :) I just think they're neat.
Jade having positively 0 respect for anyone ever and actually being full of himself. (This is the funniest possible outcome for his characterization, no one @ me. As I said in my earlier post, Jade is if Charli XCX wrote Von Dutch about an eel.)
Jade's dream existence is still one where people rely on him - in fact even moreso than reality and he's the center of attention.
Jade being the weakest link of the twins when it comes to imagination.
Jade being the twin that their parents struggled with more because he knows how to act polite but he's actually just a snobby brat.
Jade's internal image of Floyd being essentially doodle bob and his internal image of Azul being a doe-eyed shoujo love interest. 💀 He is so unserious.
THEY HISS AT EACH OTHER LIKE CATS WHAT
Throwing hands is becoming a theme
O c t o p u s
He's actually adorable what the fuck. I will take seven, please.
Azul's ideal world is that he can do a sport™ and be a cool sports guy™. He knows all the songs in High School Musical I am convinced.
Azul's alternate ideal world where he's an arsonist.
Floyd's solution is "Azul is boring like this, let's punch him."
Jade and Floyd's trying to save Azul from slipping deeper but when they can't their response is essentially "good luck don't die" with the cadence of ending a phone call and a high five.
Floyd got his ass kicked by Jade and them bickering like siblings once Azul is safe.
Bonus:
He has breached containment someone come get him

Destroying myself with the thought that the only time when Moon could finally roam around the plex without being restricted it's when the Plex is destroyed to pieces and is completely empty. What if Gregory was the last child Moon have interacted with before Cassidy? LIKE DO YOU REALIZE THE LEVEL OF LACK OF SOCIAL INTERACTIONS THIS BOY WAS GOING THROUGH FROM THE MOMENT HE GOT INFECTED WITH VIRUS???? I'm dying.
