#thinking about how that scene mirrors the red-and-yellow colouring at the boat party #izombie #liv moore #blaine debeers #literally her hesitation there is so sexy. It really feels like she had a long dark moment of 'if Major is really dead - what's the point?' #I don't think she would ever do it because there are so many other people she cares about. But it is still extremely happy place for me. #plus I really don't think that this was the reason why Liv didn't go for the lethal shot immediately. #I don't think she was in that state of mind to be calculating (she didn't even consider this issue when she was much clerarer) #so I don't think she thought of this issue just after the fake hostage exchange that Blaine set up #I think the reason why she shot him in the side and hesitated is bc she still had hope that Major was alive #(after all she states that he killed Lowell. For Major she -asks-. So i think she stll had hopes of him being alive and finding him)

Shuffle your favourite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. Then copy/paste this ask to your favourite mutuals <3 (ps if there's not at least 2 Swift songs in there I will be shocked)

❤️ I shuffled my On Repeat Playlist (I don't really have a singular favorite) and only got one Taylor Swift song somehow 😆 Fitting that it's shaping up to be my favorite from her latest album though. I do have two Olivia songs for you, however 😌

1. My Favorite Mistake - Sheryl Crow

2. obsessed - Olivia Rodrigo

3. Song About You - The Band CAMINO

4. Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? - Taylor Swift

5. girl i've always been - Olivia Rodrigo

#ask game #thanks for including me ❤️ #ngl my instinct was to omit Taylor’s song...she's been getting a lot of hate in the wake of the new album #and I know most people are sick of her #but also that I've been a bit poisoned by all of it lately to the point of feeling kind of ashamed for just liking her music #idk I know a lot of people are weird or pretentious about that #to the point where I hesitate to call myself a fan #and I definitely do NOT condone everything she does or like worship her or whatever #but I do like this new album I didn't really care for her last one #it's dense and feels like a diary and can get stream of consciousnesslike which #I honestly think works for and against it #the new one not the last one #but I can't even look through her tag right now because it's SO full of hate #anyway...sorry #didn't realize I was sitting on all of that I guess #but to end positively #I really like the metaphors and the way she's playing this dramatic caricature of herself in the song listed

I’ve read one of your post recently and you were mentioning Annie Ernaux’s Les Années, and so I was wondering what you thought of her getting the Nobel Prize for Literature this year? Kinda curious if I should give her a go :)

She is so unworthy of a Nobel !! I enjoyed Les Années and La Femme gelée but the rest of her books range from “meh, ok” (Les Armoires vides, La Place) to banal navel-gazing (Passion simple, Mémoire de fille). She tends to rehash the same stuff in book after book—not just the themes and specific memories and scenes but phrasings as well; if you read all of her books in quick succession you'll notice the same phrases and descriptions popping up in different books and it's like mate, you've already used similar words to tell a similar story, why did this warrant a new book...?

(She writes about the same childhood memories in the same way in three or four different books, but the worst example of rehashing is Se perdre. Her book Passion simple is a shortened and very slightly re-written diary she kept while having a humiliatingly one-sided ‘passionate’ affair with some guy who didn’t care about her—and a few years later she published Se perdre which is the actual (nearly 400-page!) diary she’d used as the basis for Passion simple, without shortening or revising it this time. And it’s like... you’ve now published your diary TWICE, and your affair with a married guy who’s a selfish arsehole really wasn’t a new or interesting story to begin with...)

All in all I don't think her body of work brings something significant and unique to world literature and I'm baffled by this decision. Then again Modiano and Le Clézio didn't deserve the Nobel either so I’m not sure how it works. I heard that Houellebecq was considered this year and that was a horrifying prospect, I loathe him and his writing. Plus he's a man and I personally think the Nobel for Literature should be given only to women writers for the next 85 years so we can reach a laureate ratio that's less grotesquely imbalanced than 17 women vs. 102 men.

(But that’s not an excuse for giving it to Annie Ernaux.)

#ask #''well she's not a /bad/ writer'' shouldn't be enough for a nobel #(i always hesitate to recommend even her best book—les années—because it's so embedded in french culture (it's the whole point) #that i don't know how interesting it would be for people to whom all these cultural references mean nothing or very little) #anyway #french writers whose nobel nomination i won't dispute: camus sartre bergson anatole france and andré gide #le clézio modiano mauriac mistral fucking romain rolland and roger martin du gard didn't deserve theirs #the others i've not read so i can't say

When redditors are admitting that the accusation of transphobia is thrown around too much I get more hope that people are seeing through the rampant narcissism in the TQ+ community .

#Reddit #Aita #A trans person is getting rent free housing #Isn't not charging a legally adult TQ+ person rent enough to be an ally? #If she wants a say in the decore she should get her own place #The cousin didn't hesitate to turn her side of the family into flying monkeys #At least the cousin has mastered male entitlement #If she didn't go through with surgery she could still get pregnant #The cousin could end up with a surprise that would make it even harder for the op to kick her out without the family giving op flack #No rent and an updated bathroom and someone is going to complain about the color scheme #Sounds like the moms side is jealous that op had a grandmother well off to leave her a house and a father who could gift her a remodel #And resentful that they couldn't do the same

watched all the available episodes of sousou no frieren today and surprised myself with how much i enjoyed it so i want to leave my thoughts here before i forget them; i think it would've been a lot more enjoyable if i was catching it from the start, but i ended up crying more than several times anyway

it's such a good concept to begin with, the storytelling is so compelling, and i really enjoyed the atmosphere in every episode. the worldbuilding is very good, we never really get exposition dumped but we learn things as the characters do, which keeps things believable and easy to stomach... plus, we always see stories about the defeat of the demon king, and much less the story of the aftermath, which got me interested in it in the first place. and especially when you add in the factor of time as a matter of inconsequence to frieren in comparison to everyone else especially with her personality... it's so satisfying seeing the exploration of things like the delicate balance between memories of the past and their inability to be changed with how they have influenced and shaped growth (of both the characters and the world) into the present, the passing of time and its varying (in)significance to the characters caught in its flow, the transience of life and (the learning of) what it means to live...

even then the flow of time passing is animated so well; there's this relentlessness to its passing, but despite that it flows like a calm river, clear and constant and steady, never hurrying, never drying. and mage's comment about it showcasing perfectly how frieren stays the same despite time passing is really neat too. on the flip side seeing how things have changed over time (the borrowing, adaptation, improvement of spells from demons which then go on to be adopted by mages is something i really fucking liked!! and the way fern uses the magic so casually as a way to demonstrate the development of magic turning a death spell into 'ordinary offensive magic' is so so good. frieren using this to teach her a history lesson was Also really good.)

it's hard to dislike any of the main characters when they show such strong cohesion of their complex pasts and personalities, and their actions do so well to showcase who they are even in battle (fern's precision and blunt simplicity stands out here). you can even see how they have changed each other over the course of their journey... frieren wanting to give up on finding the lost ring so not to slow the party down but fern insisting they'll stay until she finds it contrasting with her impatience with frieren spending months trying to find the blue moon weed at the beginning of their journey is something that stuck with me a lot

the other thing that stuck with me is the rebuilding of the original party not only thematically within their roles but also in influence by the original heroes (fern being taught by frieren and their noted similarity in the earlier episodes with regards to magic, stark being taught by eisen and the same way they express and approach fear, sein's choice not to become an adventurer being directly influenced by heiter not to mention their obvious similarities in habits)... and of those it's really fitting how frieren represents himmel's hero role now after she was influenced by her journey with himmel, especially with his death giving immense meaning to her new journey and frieren copying his actions because it's what he would do

but i enjoyed it... will be back next week..... waha.............

#blue/- #blue/nemophila #nemophila-thoughts #nemophila/frieren #nemophila/fern #nemophila/stark #nemophila/sein #nemophila/himmel #i know everyone in the frieren tag is like talking about ships and everything but i didn't even focus on that while i was watching at all #himmel's love for frieren is important thematically so i'm a lot more aware of that but i think this impact is stronger if it's unrequited #i mean. frieren aro represent wahoo but also i hope she comes to understand what it means to himmel even if she never returns the feelings #i think this is one of those pieces of media where au won't ever hit as hard because the canon has all the pieces laid out for it #how are you going to recreate the same feeling in an au... i think i get it now.......... #still i think in regards to the characters. it's easy to enjoy all of them and their complexities even as they slowly reveal them #stark being a coward but then we reveal that he doesn't think being afraid is bad and also the burden of his past weighing on him #also the fact that he just. has never been showed kindness like getting a birthday present leading into his awkwardness w fern's birthday #he kinda just ticks a lot of my boxes. also he's kobayashi chiaki #sein's hesitance to join the party but then becoming someone they can depend on when frieren's disconnect is a bit more obvious #it's like 2am i don't think my rambling is even coherent any more. good night

So some of my friends have never seen Buffy and we're watching through it. I haven’t seen it since I was a kid, so there's a lot I don't remember.

We're on season 6 right now and I'm just-- what the fuck yo???

I know the show was technically supposed to end after season 5, but still, holy hell season 6 is a nightmare. I'm mad about everything honestly but I specifically wanna call out how Spike gets treated???

Cause like. What. The. Fuck???

They call this dude for everything. Like the moment something goes down they call him to help and he comes running every time. Makes sure Dawn is safe, takes care of anyone injured and makes sure they get to safety, is the other strongest fighter, knows a shitload about the supernatural world and if not where to find it. He's generally super fucking useful, and he's usually pretty damn cool and friendly with them unless someone's a dick first.

So WHY do most of the characters treat him like hes still horrible?? He literally spent the entire last season helping them. He took a freakin torture session from a GOD and nearly got dusted to keep Dawn safe. He also helped take care of Dawn after Buffy died.

Yet most of the group act like he's only out for himself and like he's just fucking evil all the time!

I remember being pissed when he got frozen out of Joyce's funeral too. They clearly had a friendly relationship, they watched soap operas together ffs. Spike routinely got called in to protect her and Dawn and did so without hesitation. There were plenty of times he and Joyce just shot the shit because he actually genuinely liked her. And yet he's not allowed to mourn her???

I don't get how you can depend on someone so obviously but then act like they're not part of the group??

Especially since its pretty fuckin obvious when they hurt his feelings. Its not like he tries to come off as cool and unaffected, he wears his heart on his sleeve. He's actually probably one of the only characters to routinely demonstrate actual emotional intelligence and empathy.

It just... irks me to see him get treated like dirt routinely when he's been doing his best to show them he's friendly for years now.

And like "he tried to kill them" isn't really a good enough reason in this story?? Anya tried to kill them, and is an ex-demon. She's still welcomed into the group. Angel too, tbh and he did FAR more emotional damage. But like even though he's not around for long after, they still talk about him fondly and Buffy keeps in contact with him over the years. Amy tried to kill them too and she got brought back with all the over looked just fine too.

It just feels massively unfair and it pisses me off because there's not a good basis for it based on how his character changed. Even Spuffy, as much as I adore the ship, went all kinds of sideways largely due to Buffy being deadset on the idea that Spike could only be bad for her and treating him like it.

Yes, he rose to the bait and he shouldn’t have. But like. Imagine how painful its gotta be to have someone you love telling you how awful you are and how they could never truly love you because you're wrong somewhere deep in your core, and then sleeping with you anyway because you're hot therefore good enough to fuck, just not to love. That's FUCKED my dude.

It don't know what the hell their beef was with Spike but I hate it.

#btvs #spike btvs #honestly he deserved better #i dont know why they felt the need to make them this horrible dark secret bs #when literally he could have just been her dom #its beyond me #like when Buffy told him he couldnt come in because it was dinner time and Dawn was waiting #LIKE HE DIDN'T FUCKING LIVE WITH THE KID WHILE BUFFY WAS DEAD???? #LIKE HES NEVER FUCKING MET HER??? #LIKE THEY WEREN’T ALREADY FRIENDS BECAUSE HE BABYSITS HER LITERALLY ALL THE TIME??? #he would have been easier to explain than that one episode Riley is there again out of the blue #but she didnt hesitate to bring HIM home even though their relationship was a fuckin dumpster fire #idk it just feels fuckin DUMB

tiny little details: throughout the entire series, riza subtly shows perfect trigger discipline, she only ever places her finger on the trigger when she is about to shoot

and when she points the gun at roy, her finger is on the trigger

#fullmetal alchemist brotherhood #fmab #i'm getting to the point in the story where it's just #''begin crying. do not stop.'' #but like???? she absolutely was not even sort of remotely bluffing #there was absolutely no bluff there #she was actually seriously legitimately about to shoot him #if he snapped his fingers she was going to pull the trigger #period. #no hesitation. no flinch. she was absolutely about to shoot him in the head if he didn't back down immediately. #she believes in him *that much* #she's following *that* order

My reaction to a paper prescription with snot on it: EEWWWW

My reaction to the ones with blood splatter on it: Wow cool...what happened, oh noo, no worries at all, we'll still take them

#lmao this woman was dropping off some paper prescriptions #with the slightest hesitation she asked if i could still fill them if she got blood on them #she shows me and yeah splattered dried blood on it. enough that i immediately was like “what happened?” #i wanted to be like wow thats fucking awesomee but i didn't want her to think i was weird or rude #she just came from the hospital those prescriptions were with her when her iv got pulled out and it splattered blood #even in her purse #we were both laughing because the way she was telling the story was pretty funny #my manager didnt know what to do and some of my coworkers would've definitely refused lol #some things you just don't consider until they happen #bloodborne pathogens training modules help me

Can't explain exactly what it is about these two little moments of people holding onto each other that's making me crazy right now but it's a lot

#we didn't see vel and nemik interact much #but idk i just feel like these two frames say a lot #the second one mostly about vel's guilt #like you know she's wondering if it would've been different if she hadn't hesitated #even if it was only for a minute #idk maybe i just need to sleep #andor #karis nemik #vel sartha #i'm going to keep thinking about them and making myself sad #my posts
