#until he had no choice

there really is something so interesting about billy never actually landing a punch during the fight at the byers until he’s cornered

This might be the most beautiful parallel in young royals.

Fun little game whenever you come across a shallow parody of YA female protagonists: take a tally of the traits she has and see how many apply to Luke Skywalker.

Luffy: Hey everyone! I want you to meet my new friend. His name is Tra-guy! Say hi!

Law: Hello. I’m not his friend. We are just working together. I’m only here for a little, then I’m leaving

Sanji: Hey welcome to the crew

Law: Crew? No like I said, I will only be here for a little while. A week or two tops

Sanji: Yeah sure. Luffy liked you. So you’re a part of our crew whether you like it or not. Hell, I refused him outright like three times but he made me join

Law: He..made you? Are you like his prisoner?

Sanji: No no, we’re cool now. He just doesn’t give up until he gets you on his crew. It’s not just me too.

Law: Not just you……*looks to the rest of the Strawhats* How many of you didn’t want to join his cree at first?

Zoro, Nami, Chopper, Franky raise their hand

Nami: Really only Robin and Brooke were the ones who wanted to be here. Ussop was in the middle. Luffy said “we’re friends so get on” and he came happily but everyone else..

Law: That’s…so he built his crew by just seeing people he likes and making them part of his crew? No wonder you are all so……odd

Nami: Odd? You should feel lucky! We stopped him from inviting a guy stuck in a treasure box, A tree-Zombie and a unicorn-zombie that were drinking sake, A pair of Legs and a centaur.

I can’t stop thinking about the parallels between Angel and Rhys

Not only were both of them pretty damn young, Rhys being closer to Angel’s age than Jack’s, but they also used to seek some type of validation from Jack – Angel wanting her father’s love and attention and Rhys wanting his hero’s approval and praise

And Jack used that among other reasons to control them, starting off with promises to have their backs and telling them they’re a “team”

Before he isolated them, continuing to keep Angel locked up (not just “for her own safety” but also for everyone else’s, essentially telling her she’s a danger and that if anything were to happen it would be her and Jack’s fault) and convincing Rhys he couldn’t trust Fiona and co unless he wanted to end up dead or screwed over

Until they eventually tried to break free from Jack which he responded to by attempting to guilt trip them

Both of them also just went through a lot of pain just to get away from Jack; Angel literally asked you to help her commit suicide, screaming in agony as you destroyed the injectors to kill her. Rhys ripped all his cybernetics out, clearly in pain and almost dying from blood loss afterwards

And Jack’s reaction to all of this was very similar as well. He literally pleads with them to stop yet still not acknowledging his own wrongs, telling Angel that he will forgive her, once again deflecting all accountability onto her

In Rhys' case Jack begs for his life which is really interesting because when he is about to die in bl2 he doesn’t. Instead he goes on a long, angry rant spitting insults and yelling until you kill him

Jack is naturally manipulative, sure, but the way he manipulates his enemies vs the people close to him is so different and I feel like Angel and Rhys being treated similarly despite having very different relationships with him shows that 1) yes, Jack actually did care for Rhys somewhat and he really did consider his rejection a deep betrayal and 2) history always repeated itself for Jack and he never wanted to acknowledge it. Instead, he tried to reel them back into his control by making them out to be the bad guys

Basically, I’m insane and I would give anything to see Rhys and Angel interact and talk about their experiences with Jack. Also, they both have chair related trauma. Chair-ed trauma, if you will

As a big sibling with a lil sib with epilepsy, when they read TBC they Honestly thought if they got struck with lightning reciting the lord's prayer they'd be cured like Shadowsight is from their epilepsy. I had a discussion with them on how that's not how it works, but ge was so upset they took it away from Shadowsight that he hasn't picked the books back up and has stated that 'he hopes Ashfur wins and starts a new religion.,'

I do not even know how to respond to this besides saying that your little sibling is 100% right to be pissed and I now also hope Ashfur wins and starts a new religion.

actually it's kind of funny how people will say Alex's fatal flaw is that he 'doesn't ask for help' and that it's his determination to handle things on his own that leads to his deterioration and eventual death when his whole introduction to the present-day timeline was a very literal cry for help that simply went ignored

time to get pissed about the fact that constantine's father's hatred for and dismissal of him extends all the way down to his fucking name.

like yeah, john is a fine & normal name. he doesn't have any strong feelings about it and neither does anyone else. but john's mother wanted him, loved him, and iirc might have already had a name picked out for him before she died. (his older sister was named cheryl, which wasn't even in the TOP 100 most common UK girl names at the time, so there was a precedent for putting a lot of thought into naming her kids!!) and then she dies, and thomas just. doesn't. care. john, number one most common UK baby name for the four preceding decades. like john smith. like john fucking doe.

how it must feel to him when people say that name with actual affection instead of rage. how rare that is in his line of work. how different it must sound when he's wanted.

EVERYONE! EVERYONE! EVERYONE!

RED IS THE COLOR OF THE ROSE BRIDES!

ANTHY HAS A RED DRESS

SHE HAS A CHANCE TO LEAVE IT BEHIND AND START HER OWN LIFE

TOUGA HAS RED HAIR

(spoilers below?)

HE DIDNT HAVE THAT CHANCE AND HE DIED WITH AKIO

UTENA HAD A RED TUNIC/SWEATER IN ONE OF THE LAST EPISODES

BUT IT WAS NOT HER "STYLE" AND IT WAS AKIO FORCING HER TO WEAR SOMETHING TO PLEASE HIM BUT IT NEVER FIT HER RIGHT

Also, Anthy's last outfit in The series is link which could symbolizes both that she is closer to Utena and that she isnt ready to completely throw away the rose bride life (and so the movie happends)

Karen: LMAO every guy I meet reminds me of my big brothers that's so funny except if Paul is already my brother and you're also a brother that's a bit awkward, huh Hot bartender: THATS MOVING REALLY FAST AND I LIKE YOU AS A PERSON BUT - Karen: having my brothers date would be SO WEIRD Hot bartender: Well on the bright side I literally cannot speak more than five words to him so we aren't dating because he's so cute

(Everyone else: that is somehow the most depressing bright side we never want to hear)
