#we dont deSERVE HER...

If Wreck is still alive, I hope he has the world's biggest crashout. Like, if being forced to play your bf's nemesis, watching as your bf gets pushed into a very public lavender marriage that gets plastered on billboards, and then only finding out he committed suicide while fighting his replacement (cuz the dude who got his identity is the only one with enough courtesy to say anything) isn't a valid enough reason to have a joker moment, then idk what is

obsessed with this scene bc langdon is pretending he still has a job and that he can, like supervise their work. but also he’s only really talking to mel but mel is focusing on santos and the patient meanwhile santos does respond to him but u can see that langdon’s face is like ‘i wasn’t talking to YOU’ but santos and him seem to have some kind silent truce that they’re not gonna fight in front of mel but in the last cap mel is looking at santos like ‘hmm i know some shit went down but idk what and there’s a bald bleeding man in front of me so i’ll just table this for now’ and poor santos looks sadly overwhelmed by all of it.

but later in front of ellis, santos and langdon have no problem talking back to each other to the point that ellis asks her about it.

they thought they were being slick in front of mel but she just had more important things to deal with. she is not about that chisme life.

i know i said earlier that my interpretation of curly as a victim of jimmy's manipulation as well wasnt necessarily implied in canon but im gonna double down and say it is. ESPECIALLY with the how fish is made dlc.

curly doesn't only enable jimmys behavior towards anya - he enables jimmys behavior tomwards himself. we know jimmy doesn't fulfill his duties to standard, we know curly was putting up with his shit since day one on the tulpar. curly was the only one implied to also be trained as a pilot, meaning that he took on significantly more work rather than confronting jimmy. he let every awful comment jimmy made towards him slide - he let jimmy put him down and villainise his desire to be happier in life. like, its fucking crazy to get mad at your friend for wanting to change his career to be happier? especially on his birthday?

this isnt to say any of that is as bad as literally being raped like anya was, but what little we know of jimmys and curlys dynamic is that jimmy was bitter and spiteful and would take it out on curly, blaming curly for wanting better for himself. curly never pushes back, implying he's accepted this dynamic - he's accepted jimmys tendency to do awful things and then take no blame (no responsibility) as a quirk, as something entirely acceptable.

if you've ever deeply cared for your abuser, chances are you know that desire to view them as innocent. everything harmful they do to you is fine, and thus everything harmful they do to ofhers has to be fine, because you just cannot reconcile these two ideas in your head. they cant be innocent if theyre harming others, and if theyre harming others, what are they doing to you? curly doesn't behave like an enabler, he behaves like a victim. the men who support rapists everybody labels curly as would push back at their friends actions towards themselves. curly never does this.

as curly is effectively unable to communicate after his injury, we dont get his point of view after being directly violated and forced to acknowledge jimmys abuse within the game itself. the game paints very clear parallels between anya and curly - both pregnancy (especially as a result of rape) and disability (especially as a result of violence) result in a loss of autonomy, unwanted and uncontrollable changes to ones body and in this case- the perpetrator getting away with it. like, the way jimmy twists the tale to make curly out as the bad guy is purposefully reminiscent of men who blame women for "asking for it" when accused of rape. curly caused the accident - jimmy is just an innocent victim of his.

in the last one and then another, curly regrets ever joining the pony express. his thought process sounds a lot like that of an abuse victim (because he and everybody working under pony express is a victim of their abuse, of course): "We're defined by our past, but not slaves to it. We said tomorrow will be different. Today would be the last day. The last one. The last one and then another. And another, and another, and another... " its the cycle of forgiving your abuser because you believe they can change, because you believe you can change and break the pattern, and pushing through day by day, never giving up on them. even if curly wasnt abused by jimmy and jimmy was "just" toxic towards him, its clear he has this pattern of thought deeply engraved in him. we don't know everything jimmy did to him, we barely know of what he did aboard the tulpar, but at the VERY LEAST he exploited curlys trauma for his own benefit. it could be argued curly shouldnt have passed the psych eval, but neither should have jimmy.

lastly, anya and curly clearly serve as parallels in the game. anya is an incredibly capable doctor, she wasnt unable to give him medicine because of disgust - she bandaged him herself, thats far more dirty work. she related to him too much. she saw herself in him - somebody who lost their body and their voice. even without knowing the same man did this to both of them. theyre both victims of abuse, of violation, of a man who could never take responsibility, of a sistem that allowed all of this in the first place. curly shouldnt have enabled jimmy, but curly shouldnt have had anything to enable in the first place. jimmy shouldn't have raped anya, he shouldnt have crashed the ship. pony express shouldnt have abused its workers. whichever regime holds power over it shouldnt have allowed it to happen in the first place. you can acknowledge somebody made a mistake, and yet understand they were abused too. jimmy was exploited by the capitalist society he lived in. if he had access to mental health services, he couldve gotten better. everybody in this game is a victim of circumstance, but jimmy hurt people nonetheless. curly hurt anya nonetheless.

anyways im going to set everybody who says curly "deserved it" on fire to prove their point.

If I think about the double standard and the disparity with which the media handled Daniel in comparison to everyone else I may lose my mind.

I fear Kevin Day is the type of person whose struggle always came second. He funcioned enough that while everyone knew he wasn't alright, it was also nobody's problem, as someone else was actively having a harder time and they took precedence. He internalises all his problems and keeps going and going but he is fueled by alchool and sheer desperation a 100% of the time. If he were to stop for even a second he wouldn't know how to start again.

Did he ever, at somepoint in his life -away from the ex foxes, a pro player, married to Thea- wish he had it worse, just so that maybe it would have been his turn being saved? Being first? How badly would he feel, just one second after thinking it, because he knows damn well he has enough trauma to fill a stadium and he isn't actually jealous of his friends that had it worse, he isn't . That's a fucked up thing to think, stop it, stop it.

Would he still drink himself into a stupor to shoote the ache, to banish the thought? That's the help he got, when he was at his worst, a drink, and then two, and then a thousand. And it worked, it made him go, it picked him up when he was down, and now he can't get down without crashing.

Did he wish to be saved? Did he hope somebody, anybody, took the time and put in the effort to help him, just because they saw him down, not because he begged, but because they noticed he could use a hand. Or two, actually. Was it torment, to always be under the spotlight, yet never been seen? Did he run toward fame hoping the more eyes on him meant it would be easier to be noticed?

ok i don't think NEARLY enough people are talking about how extraordinarily brave nicola coughlan has been.

she is an up and coming actress, just breaking into hollywood, and has taken a stance few would have courage to in today's political climate, raising over £100,000 (!!!) for trans people in the uk. even more, she has spoken out against the new harry potter adaptation, and by association, HBO, one of America's most successful television companies.

after the way zionists attacked her all of last year, it's so upsetting to see transphobic/terfy creators with thousands of followers bodyshame/criticise her on all platforms.

its a shame a loud minority of her fans would rather discuss the man they think she's dating, or criticise the man they think she's not. this isn't about anyone but nicola. pls find news articles/posts about her from deadline, the independent, etc. and give her all our love, bc ppl are being genuinely horrible and disgusting and its breaking my heart :(((

... With Mark finally saying goodbye to Luke Skywalker... Idk. I feel like... It's a bittersweet feeling.

Because Mark is old already. So it would be very hard for him to actually play Luke Skywalker on screen again. And he gave us his legacy, and his appearance on The Mandalorian was epic, nostalgic and everything.

But at the same time... I feel very sad.

Look. Hamil loved Star Wars and his character from day one. For years and years. Literal decades of his life, he always make clear Luke was a character he loved.

And people like it or not, it Luke's story is what made star wars be what it is today. Everything we have today was because of Luke's character. Luke, Leia and Han made Star Wars famous, so other character like Anakin, Ahsoka, Rex, Erza, and many others could have their stories told.

And Luke? We have little to no content about him after the og triology. Yes, we have a few books and comics. But I am talking about TV Show, about the theaters. Very few people actually consume star wars out of it. And we don't even have a name drop on any kind of midia. Luke never appeared in animation. Never. Not even a cameo of him in Tatooine. . Saying "Yeah. My name is Luke, btw." What was completely possible to do.

We had Leia for a very brief moment, but no Luke. Even in Kenobi, Luke barely appeared, and Obi Wan was on Tatooine.

So yeah. I am happy, because Mark deserved to rest now and let it go. But I still feel sad for him. Because the character he loved so much, the character who made star wars become what it is today, was basically put aside as it wasn't important.

Sorry. Thinking about Toga's accidental autism again

She is a classic case of character that acts weird because they weren't socialized properly/had a fucked up childhood but whoops you just made them autistic.

She struggles to understand the difference between platonic and romantic attraction/affection and thinks being fond of/attracted to someone means she has to not only be like them but become them in a literal sense

Learns via mimicry hence the above points and her particular fixation with Ochako and Izuku since they're some of the few people her age she's seen show signs of unconditional kindness with their friends

Wore a 'mask' trying to conform to the behavioral expectations of her peers and parents and was miserable until she couldn't keep going

Goal is to make the world an easier place for her to live and be herself

As a little kid she bit herself to drink her own blood (reads as unsafe stimming to me ngl)

Shes seen more than once shaking her hands when excited (also stimming)

Got called demonic and inhuman as a little kid due to her unusual behavior (honestly reminiscent of how autistic/disabled kids would be accused of being changelings and stuff for their 'unnatural' way of being and unfortunately this is still a sentiment some hold even now)

Immediately written off for her behavior, never had why it wasn't okay fully explained and was never given a chance

Nonexistent emotional regulation due to the above point. Hence why atp she embraces inflicting pain because she was never taught how to use her quirk in a controlled environment or safe way

Quite literally autistic child failed by the system (quirk counseling or whatever)

Toga is a weird girl among weird girls, a little freak I hold dear in my heart..

Playing as lavellan again just really cementing how lovely and kind josephine is, and honestly the best romance for lavellan. She is the only one who shows you respect and kindness as a dalish elf and goes out of her way to find out if you are being treated poorly and do something about it. Mean while the elf companions are the ones who are worse to you.
