*takes mic*

If Jiang Fengmian really followed his Sect's motto and attempted the impossible, he would love his son despite the fact that his marriage is a wreckage and Jiang Cheng resembles his mother so much.

*throws the mic at the crowd with full force, jumps right after, screams bloody murder, throws punches right and left, bites you*

Guys while hallucinating on my new meds, I came to the realization that Mihawk was out on the open seas as swordsman since he was a teenager maybe even younger…. Did he ever finish a normal education?

Scratch that did he even have a normal education? Does he know math? Can my guy tell me the quadratic formula? Like I think we all forget as individuals how much school taught us yes the school system is broken blah blah but guys we understand germ theory and how birds fly and chemistry and biology that people just 60 years ago wouldn’t have known and would have killed to know, like I’m sure he can write and I’m pretty sure he can read but does he know how the moon pulls the tide? Did he know the earth wasn’t flat until he saw a globe for the first time?

Have we as individuals been bamboozled by the stoic gothic refinement of luxury that Mihawk projects we completely overlooked they fact the guy probably doesn’t know salt is a rock? Like wanna bet he saw how cool the over the top refined gay goth was and just like tailored that too his vibe but he’s never actually read a classic in his life?

What I’m trying to get at is Shanks who grew up around some of the smartest people in the world who spoke multiple languages, one was a doctor and you know Rayliegh who definitely doubled as a quartermaster might have a higher education then Mihawk.

Like I think it would be funny if Shanks was the guy who read books on Philosophy and artistic historical movements throughout the world (cough to impress Mihawk cough) and Mihawk doesn’t know how fish breathe underwater and has never read anything higher the a YA novel. (Which are awesome books but talk about reading a book by its cover! Lol… I’ll see myself out.)

The sukugo fight can't get animated any sooner I'm craving sukugo tiktok edits

[puppyeared]

i wrote this as a joke because I wanted to strangle a guy watching tiktoks without headphones on the bus, but im genuinely disturbed that we've gotten to a point where convenience comes first. and it depresses me even more that its used to justify and monetize greed

[overqchiever]

no but what do you guys think this fr means? it's only been 3 episodes, no way it's all over already.

[bogkeep]

it's been over a whole month since i had a stupid argument with my parents about driving, a skill that i legally possess but hate doing because i have a special brain illness that makes me fear death and injury, but i'm still chewing over an absurd claim that it's "equally dangerous to go on a 14 hour train ride like you just did". literally how is that more dangerous. in what way. in what world. public transport is nice and good and i like it and i don't have to enter my personal torment nexus

saviour

She picks it up, gasping. The last barrier, her child, is gone. It is time to rest, and she has been ready for so long.

Still: she hesitates.

He tackles her, and she lands hard. Her eyes are wild and she struggles to be free; he does not let her.

“Give it to me.” His voice is dry and crisp and lacks emotion. She hesitates again, then hands it over with numb fingers. Then she makes eye contact.

Vaniah looks very tired as he says, “Why?”

“You know why.”

His eyes close and his shoulders sag a little. “I left the child with Anneka,” he says quietly. “You can meet her someday, if you like.”

“Who is Anneka?” She doesn’t care, but has to say something to fill in the empty space.

The smile reaches his eyes and she likes the way it makes him look. “My wife. We’ll take care of your child—if you want us to.”

“I never want to see her again.” Her voice catches, and she cannot look him in the eyes. “I want to die, Vaniah.”

“I know.” He pushes back his sleeve and shows her scarring; it is terrible to see, but it seems like his destiny.

“I’ve wanted to for a long time. I stayed for the child. Now she doesn’t need me.”

“The world needs you. Mordecai needs you.”

She shakes her head. “I haven’t spoken to Mordecai in a long, long time.”

“He still loves you,” says Vaniah with certainty. His expression is very gentle, and she still cannot look at him. “I met him in the street recently; and he has forgiven me.”

“I have been a fool.” She is unable to speak any further.

“So have I: and God has forgiven me.”

“What do I care of God?” and she is blazing with rage. “Where was he when I went through hell?”

Vaniah is silent. At last he says, “Right beside you.”

“I thought you didn’t believe in God.” She studies his hands, wondering if she can wrench it free and complete her mission.

Vaniah sees her gaze and shifts his hands more securely. “I didn’t. I do now. But if you don’t want to talk about it we don’t have to.”

Her shoulders slump and she wants to cry. “I don’t want to live, Vaniah.”

“Neither did I. At risk of sounding cliched: it gets better. Life becomes worth the living.”

“Teach me to live.” Her voice is bitter, sarcastic. “If you’re going to stop me dying, teach me to live!” This time she does cry.

For the rest of her life she remembers how he looks at her, at the kindness and love with which he treats her. How he doesn’t pity her. How he saves her from her worst enemy, herself. How he doesn’t leave her alone until he’s found someone else who can take care of her.

How he shows her the first light she’s seen in her personal darkness for a very long time.

thinking about young vegas and macau makes me so violently upset

little macau wanting to be just like his big brother and vegas praying to god every night that he never does

(Vegas wanting to shield macau from their father and their life will never not be devastating to me)

i wish we got to know their canon ages in the show, vegas is supposed to be early teens here but the scowl seems to be kinda aging him :,) pete asks vegas how old he was there and honestly he has no clue. He’d grown up too fast, felt old for so long the years started to blur together and he doesn’t recognize himself. he counts up from the age he thinks macau is, and goes from there

I wish all the tiktok and Instagram «tutorials» that wildly cut on the beat and show what they do so fast you can’t follow because then you have to repeat watch multiple times which games the algorithm a very merry stop

[solradguy]

My mom and I got our hair cut today (she had coupons :)!) and the stylist that did her hair asked her what grade I was in

I've been out of middle/high school longer than I was in it for...

The wish was granted many years before prompt

Okay, give my brain a Minute to formulate its latest spitball. So, if I got this right, while the wish that Raziel promised to the shadowhunters could have been used for anything, it was kind of universally understood as a failsafe in case of demonic overrun. Like: "Okay peeps, so here is the tea. If you mess up and can’t do what I hired you to do and take care of pest control, you can ring me up and I will do you a solid. As in a one time spring clean deal, got it? If the critters get too much, I will come down and sweep them off the mundane plane. But after that, I expect you to keep the invasion levels to a minimum. Cool? Cool."

Like that, right? No talk about closing the rifts permanently. No talk about destroying all greater demons and hell realms (which I honestly don’t buy that Raziel could, even if he is the head honcho feather thing. That would make him far too op) One time deal, will make all demonic blood disappear, and give the shadowhunters the opportunity to gather back together to then continue their work without getting overrun. So the demons will, in time, get back to earth, just not in such overwhelming numbers. And the shadowhunters will fight them again. Just now, if the wish has been granted, there are no downworld allies. No warlocks to close rifts or ward institutes or heal wounds. No vampires or werewolves who might have taken care of some stray demons on their turf before. No seelies to ask for assistance on any matter.

Okay, now lets pretend that the wish was used by a shadowhunter like Valentine, without true cause and for asshole reasons, decades or even centuries before the show's start. Now you have a generation of shadowhunters cursing the very name of the bigoted asshole that robbed them of any downworld support, wasted the wish, and left them to deal with facing being overrun by demons for real. The few downworlders that have come into existence since the wish are treasured allies, but they are no where near the numbers or power/experience needed. And then one day, a warlock fights his way out of the hell dimension that his father has kept him in for the far too fucking long!!!

That is the day that Magnus Bane comes back into a world that has drastically changed.

Hi!

Okay! Listen!

(Did i come to bash Odette again? Ehhh... you be the judge)

The thing is, that despite the fact that she doesn't regret what she did, Odette doesn't expect nor want most people to see the situation in the same way she did (exceptions maybe some other rulers, like Callan, or some nobles). She knows what she did was unforgivable, but it was her burden to bear as a ruler. Like I said, she doesn't blame Ákos at all, and she doesn't want him to blame himself.

She still loves her friends, and doesn't expect them to do so in return.

And Odette's really smart. She'd pick up on the fact that Aiden is very fond of Ákos by the way that he talks about the kid and how probably extra antagonistic he is towards her and she'd be genuinely happy that Ákos has someone like that is looking out for him.

And she'd probably say as much. Something along the lines of:

" Thank you for looking out for him" or something. And you can tell that she's not being malicious, or mocking, she's serious.

And this would probably make Aiden so mad.

Also, I can never decide if Talon would react to Odette with contained or uncontained anger, because on one hand Talon is smart but on the other hand, Ákos is the kid who when he first saw Talon, ran up to him with no hesitation with the biggest bug eyes and asked him if he was a knight like in his storybooks, and if Odette had her way that wouldn't have happened.

If I were one of your characters, I’d have little to no patience with Odette, I’ll be honest. I’d get so frustrated with her ignorance (though she might call it being selfless), I’d probably stop bothering with her.

And I think Aiden would do the same. Sure he’s mad at the start when he hears what she did, especially after learning she’s not even regretting it.

But I think he would be quick to just not care about her instead of being antagonistic. Aiden is someone to rather give his attention to people worth it. He’d be more focused on being nice to Ákos than on being angry at Odette.

With Talon I think he’d be angry for longer, simply because he tends to hold grudges against people who wronged him or others. But he has his anger in check. He’s master of hiding and/or holding back emotions.

So yes, he’d be angry for sure, but he would hold himself back. Because as much as he might like to punch Odette a) you don’t punch a lady and b) it would help no one
