#I don’t have a choice baby

[allthebestnamesweretaken]

I’ve mentally put Delena on the back burner bc Klaroline and Benzo are just *chefs kiss* but I can’t forget my Delena roots. I still think about how Damon gave Elena the happiest summer of her life, how he had to say goodbye to her and said the fact that he was loved by her was enough (even though she couldn’t hear him) and how she begged him not to leave her, how she was completely broken after he died, so much so that she had Alaric take her memories of him away (which took an entire episode mind you!!!), how when Damon came back the first thing he wanted was to see her but she didn’t remember them and how hurt he was that’d she’d erase him because no matter how much pain he was in he’d never erase her, their moment in the rain when she asked him to promise they’d last forever, and when she came back the first thing she wanted to do was see him🥹

#delena #damon salvatore #elena gilbert #tvd universe #the vampire diaries #they meant the world to me in high school #please don’t leave me #I don’t have a choice baby #the sobs I let out when him and Bonnie were stuck on the other side!! #at least Julie plec got one thing right

Prompt:

It’s not that Jason forgot, per se.

But between smuggling a toddler out of the League of Assassins, trekking halfway across the world, and finding a suitable hiding place that’s also child friendly… well, it kind of slipped his mind that he’s supposed to be… dead.

Something that comes back to bite him in the ass when he takes Dami out for some ice cream and just so happens to run into non other than Brucie-fucking-Wayne

#look I’ve found a new fave trope and it’s Brucie Wayne having to keep up his act while internally LOSING HIS SHIT #Jason isn’t very into the whole revenge thing here #his mind is 85 parts ‘keep Dami safe’ 5 parts ‘kill joker asap’ and 10 parts ‘avoid bats at any cost’ #Jason doesn’t know who Damian’s father is #dealer’s choice if Jason establishes himself as Dami’s dad or older brother #his build certainly makes him look old enough #if you don’t look at his baby face lol #Jason runs into Brucie and goes straight into survival mode #Damian who is very observant for a toddler immediately clocks Brucie as THREAT based on Jason’s reaction #Brucie blue screens and desperately tries not to lose Jason in the crowd #jason is absolutely trying to lose Brucie in the crowd #while clutching Damian like his life depends on it #for all he knows it does #the visceral terror that your pseudo dad will take away your little brother/baby #Bruce who just wants to know if he’s hallucinating again: W A I T #jason who is terrified of being put in Arkham for killing people: no FUCKING WAY #hm maybe Jason plays the ‘I’m not Jason’ game again #it’s not gonna hold for long #but Bruce absolutely thinks that Damian is Jason’s bio child for a while and he’s on the WARPATH #Jason was sixteen when he died and never showed any interest in dating so literally every red flag is waving in brucie’s mind simultaneousl #or maybe Jason manages to get away and all Brucie is left with is the memory of his supposedly dead son #running away from him #and clutching a tiny kid #prompts #jason todd #batfamily #Damian wayne #batdad #brucie wayne

Little baby man, what am I going to do with you?

#like genuinely what am I supposed to do with him #just watched him be a blob and thought ‘it’s time. I’m doing him no favors’ #then he started taking a bath and I said ‘teehee jk he’s happy and good (:’ #Duncan baby I am once again asking you to just wake up very sick one day so I don’t ever have to question if I made the right choice #my post #Duncan

[soullessjack]

this isnt rlly a serious post more so than a thought I need to verbalize but like. there’s an INSANE difference between the fandom being like “hey what if jack was actually his age and got to be a little normal” vs y’all treating a grown ass man like he has to cover his ears when someone swears or sleep with a nightlight on because he’s afraid of the dark, and throwing the P word around to anyone who thinks he’s attractive. one of these things is not like the other.

#there’s a layer here about giving jack the childhood he specifically chose not to have #and ignoring his other choices because that’s just. idk a running theme with any character who struggles to have autonomy #but whatever idk #genuinely i think the past year or so that I’ve spent talking about this has burnt me out #either that or I’m just too fixated on VB to really care too much #like obviously I still care about it and wish more was done to help but it’s not really a warpath for me to walk currently #just. #I’m just tired dawg #it’s like talking to a deaf brick wall #please just do some research into infantilization I cannot keep having a one sided conversation with people who don’t care #spn #jack kline #baby jack #spn fandom #fandom critical #fandom ableism #tfw2.0 #not even just ableism it’s the whole mischaracterization woobified bullshit all over again #and the using baby jack as a prop for everyone else but I digress #jack: *chose not to be a child and hates being seen as one and is more than willing to get violent if he thinks he has to* #y’all for some fucking reason: he’s just a widdle baby he can’t handle the scary movie he needs his daddies to take care of him #I’ve already said all these things before #i am tired. so tired

[otrtbs]

y’all are so weird. if you hate the way i characterized regulus in ahb! then,,, stop reading it? no one is forcing you to read it?? you can just put it down,,, you know that right???? who has the gun to your head making you click next chapter??? you can just stop reading it at any time. no really, trust me!

#but you can’t do that bc then you’ll feel like you're ‘missing out’ on something you want to be a part of #so you’re gonna force yourself to read it so you can understand the references #which is fine. i guess. #but to make that choice AND COMPLAIN ABOUT IT #PUBLICALLY #like it’s the great burden of your life #like bud just put the fic down #or shut up #pink sticky notes aren’t worth it lmfaoo i swear #you hate the writing and you hate regulus ….well i have bad news for u #neither get any better LMFAO. SO WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE? #‘forcing themselves to read it bc ppl are talking abt it’ here’s an idea. don’t. do. that. #haha 😃 #art heist baby! #probably gonna delete this #i feel like i bitch a lot on here soz xx

[buddiesmutslut]

I’m being so ffr rn, if the show runners definitively show that Buddie is not going to happen?

I’m probably not going to be watching anymore.

I mean it when I say that they’re literally the sole reason I watched this show in the first place. I saw a billion TikTok edits of them & was like “Idek these characters I need to watch this show and see what’s going on over there.”

And like, it’s a fun show, I’m not saying it isn’t, but first responder shows are a dime a dozen. There are other shows that have queer characters and found family and wild adventures. Granted, they don’t have Buck & his bi arc, but I’d still read fanfics to get my Evan Buckley fix lol.

I don’t need them right now, I’m so down for the slow burn, will-they-won’t-they & the pining & the yearning & the build up and the GOOD foundation. I want to see Eddie figuring himself out and dealing with his repression and figuring out he’s queer (& Demi, pls God. I hope if I just say it enough, I can will it into existence somehow) before anything happens with the two of them, but if they take definitive steps to have one of them like, marry someone else or something, I think I’m gonna head out. Find me on ao3 for the rest of my days lol.

#911 abc #buddie #demisexual eddie diaz #also pls don’t come at me with “you don’t care about bi representation”. he’s already bi #he’s always been bi & I’ve loved watching him on this journey #but his & Eddie’s relationship is literally the only reason I started this show in the first place #and again if they find good LI’s & bring them more into focus #the time spent on the Buddie relationship will decrease. that’s just how tv & time limits work #and if my favorite relationship on the show goes away then why would I continue watching it religiously? #also I know I’m a bitch & would therefore hate any person they brought in to be the HEA for them & that’s not fun for anyone #not that I would bully the actor/actress bc im not an ASSHOLE #eddie diaz #evan buckley #I literally watched Booth & Bones take like 9 seasons to get together I am IN IT with a slow burn #unless they do what they did last season & shoehorn 2 LI’s in at the last second on the last episode then I guess I wouldn’t have a choice #Tim would’ve pulled a fast one on me #also I will watch literally anything else Oliver Stark is in SNOOKUMS I love you so much. come home the kids miss you 😂 #& probably Lou also bc he’s so freaking cute irl I wanna die #with his curly hair and his silly faces and his muscles and his wanting to be held in the dark #LOU BABY ILL HOLD YOU IF THE POWER GOES OUT #I have spent too much of my life & time & energy to get 0 payout and it’s honestly unsustainable but that’s a whole different problem

i’m such a hypocrite one week ago i was mad as hell with andre but now all this slander and people acting like he’s the villain just makes me want to put him under my wings and use the same arguments i used to talk shit about him to now DEFEND HIM ok hes a shitty friend and lives his life in auto pilot without a single care in his head and hes also a nepo baby but HE LIVED HIS WHOLE LIFE IN HIS FATHER SHADOW AND MIND YOU THIS FATHER IS A FREAKING FAMOUS SUPE

#andre anderson #gen v #you have enough reasons to dont like him #you dont have to act like hes the villain #when you have shetty right there #he made shitty decisions but everyone else did #you dont have to like him #but for the love of god stop acting like this freaking boy is the worst person in this show #when theres grown up using this school as a bait to attract manipulate and torture kids #PLEASE #i already have enough on my plane defending jordan and cate #i don’t need another client #and it doesn’t help that he’s portrayed by chance #but i wont have another choice #i literally made a post calling him a bad friend and a fucking nepo baby 😭😭😭

[theromanticrationalist]

Just found out that a super secret third “Big Bang Theory” spin-off show could be in the works. If it isn’t a Sheldon and Amy domestic dramady, then I don’t want it! I seriously could watch Sheldon Cooper’s entire life Truman Show style. 😭

#Sheldon cooper #my string bean baby bean #sorry Jim and Mayim #you don’t get a choice in this #Shamy #just shamy things #my thoughts #my Sheldon Cooper thoughts #young sheldon #the big bang theory #I should talk about the Amy Farrah Fowler show I thought up at 3 am #it was SO good actually #it would be fantasy realism comedy mash up #that would have underlying existential themes and be very sad #kind of like series of unfortunate events #but of course the joy would be in knowing Amy gets her happy ending and Prince Charming of the Dorks #amy farrah fowler #jim parsons #mayim bialik

“No.” He could hear the defeat in her voice. “Sorry to be of trouble, m’lord. I only … they said the king keeps people safe, and I thought …”

[…]

Jon watched her go, his joy in the morning’s brittle beauty gone. Damn her, he thought resentfully, and damn Sam twice for sending her to me. What did he think I could do for her?

Jon III, ACOK

This is one of my favorite ‘Jon is the king’ passages because it’s less about him being king by birth and more about him displaying one of the core qualities of kingship - that a king’s key role is to protect his people.

Because its adorable that Gilly heard that Jon is a bastard but upon meeting him, immediately bent the knee (as one would to a king) and then entreated him to help her by appealing to the idea that a king protects people. And with a severe lack of kings north of the Wall, Jon Snow is her best shot; yes there’s Mance Rayder but he’s quite far from Gilly.

And how ironic that Gilly appeals to Jon, a mere bastard boy who is sworn to an order that requires him not to hold any lands or wear any crowns. Jon’s closest relation to kingship at that moment is that his brother, Robb Stark, is king (as Gilly is told that he’s a brother to kings). But Gilly doesn’t say, “in the name of your brother who’s the king help me”. She doesnt say, “King Robb should help me”. She asks Jon to help her; she kneels to Jon. She recognizes that he may stand in for her but is probably seeing Jon, the mere boy, as the embodiment of the king’s duty. Really, it’s an interesting study of kingship as a quality outside of any official titles.

But I do think that Sam had something to do with it. Jon went out of his way to protect Sam in AGOT, so Sam probably used personal experience when speaking to Gilly. He understood that Jon is someone who protects people so he went and told Gilly about it; how ironic that Jon questions what Sam was thinking, because did he forget what he did for Sam?

But Gilly upon hearing Sam’s story asked for Jon’s help not in a “please help me like you helped your best buddy” type of way but in a “please help me like a king would” type of way. I wonder what stories Gilly grew up learning of kingship and if she decided that Jon was a king, despite wearing no crown, once she heard Sam’s story. I’m inclined to think that while Sam told her that Jon would help her, she is the one who then connected that promise of protection to kingship.

But there is also a larger theme that kingship isn’t easy, and Jon is just started on his character development here. He may want to help Gilly, but he hasn’t yet began to understand the wildlings as people in the way that he will later on. What Jon fails to do for Gilly here, he does for thousands of wildlings two books later (and will presumably continue to do so into Winds). While he didn’t challenge Night’s Watch tradition to save Gilly and remove her from a terrible situation here, he later challenged this tradition to remove thousands of others from a terrible situation later on; and even paid for it in some way. Thus, he does eventually live up to the ideal that a king protects the people; though how ironic that he protects the wildlings while still being crownless. And there’s also Alys Karstark who will later kneel to Jon and ask him to perform the king’s duty in regards to marriage and inheritance. What a curious display of Varys’ “power resides where the people think it resides”.

#jon snow #jon the king #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #canonjonsnow #didn’t put in the post but it’s quite interesting how Gilly is connected #to moral choices and moral pragmatism in Jon’s story #there’s this and then there’s also that scene in ADWD where he has to #mentally toughen himself by repeating the ‘kill the boy’ line #so that he can perform a king’s duty and protect someone - mance’s baby #i personally don’t think he was callous or uncaring of gilly’s wellbeing #because we have that one line from sam’s pov where Jon is watching Gilly breastfeed monster #with a sad smile on his face #it’s most likely that jon is still a work in progress and so pragmatism sometimes ties the line of cruelty #however necessary #but I’m confident that he’ll learn to do better later on ☺️ #my stuff

Lmao one of my friends is getting married in August so the friend group is planning trips etc. and my friend and her partner were thinking of flying into the us and then roadtripping from here (New Mexico) to LA, which I had volunteered to drive for and to take everyone to the Grand Canyon on the way, you know, all that jazz

So they are trying to buy tix from Heathrow to Denver and then not fly here but instead drive which is six hours and I’m kind of like… have yall ever driven for that long before, let alone on the wrong side of the road in a backwards car? Like my American ass did the 5 hour drive from London to wales once, first time doing the wrong car on the wrong side thing, and let me tell you I loooove long driving roadtrips and six hours is literally my preferred length of driving day but that 5 hours s u c k e d oh my god I was so scared the whole time, just white knuckling it the whole way.

They want to spend as many days in Colorado as possible, which is great and all, but still need to come here to meet me and, theoretically, take my truck to LA instead of a rental car. And I just know that if they drive all day to get here they won’t want to do anything the next day because they’ll be exhausted, so we won’t do anything fun and I won’t get to show them around and stuff and then we’ll get right back in the car for two more days. And I get a little irked when people don’t consider that there is, in fact, tourist stuff to do here. Honestly tourist stuff is the only stuff to do in this whole damn state, and where I am is just Colorado Adjacent™️, same damn landscape. but when I moved out here I thought it was gonna be like the Sahara or some shit, so I assume that’s what they’re thinking, and I don’t know how to make it clear to them that they should spend two days here if they intend to drive from Denver so they can see stuff, and if they tell me the kind of stuff they want to see, then I can plan accordingly. Because I think we’ll all be sad if they don’t get to spend any time here, because they’ll get here and go “oh wow it’s actually pretty, I would’ve liked to check it out” and idek? I don’t want to be pushy but may have to be like “listen if you bypass me because you think there’s nothing to do here I will be butthurt about it and feel like I missed out on sharing my new life with you” because I mean I’ve never been to Denver so maybe it’s awesome and they should just stay here but… don’t you want to come crash for free and let me chauffeur you around and go to ruins and tourist traps and national parks and go swimming in beautiful mountain streams and have a ride on my pony? I guess it’s one of those “I would love this, why don’t other people love this” kind of things

#I think it also makes me feel like they are saying- and everyone who didn’t want to come with us too- that #they aren’t interested in seeing what I’m up to and don’t like my lifestyle and maybe that’s not true but it’s what it feels like #I’m not asking you to come meet me in fucking Iowa homeslice it is absolutely fucking gorgeous here in the summer #maybe they’ll end up wanting me to come meet them in Denver and idk I’ve never been and have a cousin there so it’d be worth a visit #but the shortest way to Arizona would then be right back through Santa Fe so that seems stupid to me #blah blah blah I am an oversensitive baby who just wants her friends to approve of her choices and say “this is cool and #we miss you but it’s cool you live someplace like this’ #I want that validation because I sometimes really really miss school and I always miss Europe and #I don’t know I just want to play your guide you know it’s really fun to do that for people I love to do that for people #LET ME SHOW YOU MY WORLD ITS WEIRD LETS GO SIT IN A STREAM AND SMOKE WEED

fun thing that folks really apparently don’t want to acknowledge if we’re discussing canon Jiang Cheng and the thing I think people are truly failing to grasp in regards to fans of his and why they care about him. His actions throughout the story repeatedly, over and over again, belied his words. Yes, he has a harsh exterior that is used as an armor against this world that repeatedly took everything from him. He uses words as a weapon at times, but his actions say everything his words don’t.

Additionally, he fucks up. He doesn’t always do the right thing, but that’s the thing about MDZS, not a damn one of these characters were in the right 100% of the time. But he cares and he works hard to do what is right by his sect and his family and yes, at times, those two groups come in conflict and he makes tough decisions because of that, but regardless he still repeatedly shows his love.

And it may take an additional time through the story to see that, but the narrative supports that fact time and time again despite the fact that Wei Wuxian as the protagonist doesn’t see it (but their struggles in communicating and understanding one another’s actions and intentions is a whole different discussion).

And that’s not even mentioning the whole plethora of cultural context that is being ignored, but again. different discussion.

#not tagging this anything fun I just wanted to ramble #because man the “high horse” the folks are on as if fans of the character completely lack an understanding of him #or like we got our understanding of him from a fic here or there and some fanart #its got me bummed at 8pm on a saturday night #I love me a good murder kitten #See: both of my DnD characters or Qi Rong or Xue Yang #but I love jiang cheng for his complexities and his pain and his imperfections but also his unwavering strength and his heart #and I don’t particularly appreciate folks acting like this character I resonate with so deeply is just something #that we as a fandom have collectively hallucinated #and yes I’m screaming at a brick wall that won’t be swayed by anything I have to say #I’ve been in fandoms since I was 14 and I’m… much older than that now. I truly understand this is not a winnable fight #I just don’t care for the shitty insinuations being made #because while he’s my perfect baby boy who I love with all my heart and has never done a thing wrong in his entire life #he’s also the man who kept chengqing in perfect playable condition for 13 years #and had it on his person at guanyin temple despite only going there for JL #he’s the man who begged to be taken instead of his nephew when JGY had a guqin string around the boy’s neck #the man who took a knife for wwx after everything #and who was willing to sacrifice himself to the Wens for WWX knowing there was no good outcome to that choice

It’s wild how many people think saying Taylor Swift is unmarried with no kids is some gotcha. Come join modern times with me

#the amount I see this #y’all live in the 50’s #and from certain fandoms who’s favs have very questionable marriages #many woman are waiting and not settling it’s called standards #you also don’t have to want that #I remember that one article that called her childless #women don’t exist to have babies #I’m child free and single by choice !

all i want is to connect with people easier and to not misinterpret those connections, it’s always so hard for me to feel like i’m not turning people away with who i am as a person and when i don’t i always perceive them as viewing me closer than they really do

#like i’ll think we’re friends but really i’m just an acquaintance #idk i just have such a hard time making relationships n i thought it would get easier #but now i’m 24 and have no real friendships and i’ve never had a relationship n i just feel hopeless #n like i’m wasting my time #but i also have no motivation to find friends or a partner #i just don’t think i have people out there for me idk #i’m just being a baby #but i’m also just over emotional from isolating #but i also don’t have a choice in the isolation lol #the only social interaction i get is at work or the store
