kristen trying to convince fabian to pursue mazey by causing a small earthquake and saying “if there’s one thing i know, when love is in the air, there should be a tiny emergency!” hits a little different when you rmr that her and tracker’s first meeting was at the black pit bar and their first kiss was followed immediately by an undead brawl

The next one on my list is Robin Arellano!!!
He likes rock n roll, milkshakes, and watching scary movies!
In this au, Robin definitely is trying to block out everything that happened to him. Any mention of the grabber and he’s changing the subject, and is uncomfortable.
He tries very hard to not be affected by it, to not think about how he couldn’t kill the bastard who did that to him, but in the end it does effect him. It effects him a lot.
Robin can’t stand the scars on his forearms, they’re always going to remind him of what he “failed” to do in his mind, something he knows isn’t his fault but can’t help but blame himself for. He doesn’t wear his bandannas anymore after having to see his cut up and bloodied one from his own kidnapping be put in an evidence bag.
He tries everything to forget what happened to him, to try and be stronger, and better in case there’s another grabber out there.
Robin blames himself a lot for what happened, he doesn’t know how or why it is but he just knows it is his fault that Finn was kidnapped, it was his fault that he couldn’t kill the grabber, it was his fault that he was kidnapped because he should’ve known better, and it was his fault for getting murdered…
He tries to keep it inside and tries to look unaffected and happy like he used to be but like all the others, Robin is a traumatized child who didn’t know any better and that is something that infuriates him.

Actually, want to return to this post real quick because people are now reblogging to agree with the inane addition, but I want folks to know that when you’re making an argument of literary analysis, “what I want to happen” is not valid evidence. “Well nobody in Mu Qing’s life died except for his dad, so him being passionate about committing war crimes must be because his dad got punished for saving people!” Literally nowhere in the book is Mu Qing’s father’s execution relevant except to say why people discriminated against Mu Qing. Mu Qing’s father is never brought up outside of that, not by Mu Qing or the narration, and it is mentioned once in a throwaway line. “Mu Qing’s father, the fallen hero” is a headcanon, not evidence for character analysis.
What we actually see in the story is Mu Qing, in his care for Xie Lian, saying that Xie Lian’s (and the people of the capital’s) lives are more valuable than the people of Yong’an who they are fighting. We see this reiteration before the flashback reveal when Mu Qing says that soldiers of one country should not worry about the safety of the civilians in another that get caught in the crossfire of their war. We see it again in the flashback with the one cup of water scenario. You do not need to headcanon some convoluted explanation for why Mu Qing would possibly think genocide is ok when the story makes it pretty clear that he and other characters place intrinsic value upon people they decide are “of status” that they do not apply to others. This is literally just in-group/out-group mentality.
On another note, 1) people get executed for more than just treason, past and present (and in fiction, since this is a fictional story not set in a real place or time), 2) using Xie Lian’s Central Plains General story to say that Mu Qing’s dad must have gotten executed “for treason” because “he was helping people” makes absolutely no sense when you consider the fact that Xie Lian, himself, didn’t get executed for helping people, either, 3) if his dad’s execution is what made Mu Qing forsake caring about people and promote genocide, then guess what? He’s still a shit person promoting genocide! You just made it worse because now, he’s promoting genocide to spit on the legacy of his own father! So now we’ve circled back around to: Mu Qing is not a working-class hero because he does not value people below him.
Mxtx said that we shouldn’t take the words of the general population and especially not the rich and powerful at face value when they unite to spread certain narratives, that we should find the truth by looking at the actual facts and the characters of the people involved to discern the truth. What she did not say is that if we don’t like the picture the evidence presents because it makes our favs look bad, then we should make up evidence of our own in disregard of the truth.

Losing my mind over the Wagstaff short but I have seen ppl shit on him for leaving the guy to get crushed so like… what did y’all expect him to do??
The man was pinned under what was probably several hundred pounds of rubble- and the other stuff fell before Wagstaff could even get that close!! There was nothing he could’ve done!!! The guy was fucked regardless imo

Okay I can’t keep this knowledge to myself and not post it on tumblr. That beautiful scene with Palm and Maggie where Maggie is just truly the best friend Palm can possibly have? There are two backing tracks for that scene. They are both Christmas carols.
First it was O Come, All Ye Faithful
Then it was Silent Night
This is not the first BL to use arrangements of Christmas carols as part of the soundtrack
I had this knowledge and now so do you
