just thinking about how despite AtS trying to portray it as comedic bickering amongst bros, Spike actually has decades worth of reasons to hate Angel, while Angel has remarkably few reasons to hate Spike. And it should maybe be concerning that from School Hard on, Angel adopts an absolute "don't see what this has to do with me" reaction to him?

#btvs #buffy the vampire slayer #spike btvs #ats #angel the series #spike spent 100 years with a front row seat to the worst damage Angel ever inflicted #spending every day trying to fix in dru what angel tried to destroy #just to later save the world and have angel belittle his sacrifice and mock him for thinking buffy cared about him at all #with angel knowing full well at that point just how much buffy does care #and the show is like 'can you BELIEVE Spike is trying to steal the prophecy Angel EARNED by being so heroic???' #'spike needs to learn from angel what real atonement and personal responsibility is' #anyway #props to Destiny #the only episode that got it right #and then immediately forgot its entire thesis statement

…so can you expand on the psychological ramifications of stewy being in private equity? that has definitely been lost on me given that i barely understand what private equity is

ok this is an underrated funny aspect of the show imo, and also good insight into stewy and kendall. i'm trying to spare you a bunch of stupid business jargon but basically, maesbury capital (which stewy represents but sandy/sandi ultimately own) is a private equity fund, meaning it's a big pile of a bunch of rich people's money, and stewy's job is to take that money and invest in private companies. a PE fund can invest at a few different points: at the very beginning of a startup's life (venture or angel investing), at a point where the company is trying to grow or restructure (growth investing), or when a company is struggling financially, in which case the fund is usually planning to either dismantle it and sell it for scrap, restructure and go public, or sell it for cash to another company. PE firms like to present themselves as doing a lot of growth or venture investing, but in truth many/most are primarily engaging in this third category of investment strategies, because they're lucrative (and because many startups are stupid, and only good for generating investor payouts).

so, when kendall went and dismantled vaulter in season 2 because logan decided that selling most of it for scrap would be more profitable? that's basically a dramatisation of what stewy does routinely, except of course the exact financial instruments and strategies will differ because stewy represents a PE firm. like, if kendall's venture capitalist schemes tell us about his delusions of creating cool new products and services, stewy is sort of the opposite because his structural goal is usually to dismantle companies and liquidate them however is best for maesbury's backers. it's a total destruction of all use-value and a conversion of it into pure exchange-value in the form of capital (which goes into his pockets and maesbury's). stewy generates money by destroying utility, which is perverse if you think capitalism is supposed to create and sustain human life, but actually completely comprehensible if you understand that capitalism is an insatiable growth machine with inherently contradictory internal tendencies and no raison d'être beyond the endless accumulation of pure capital itself.

many viewers think stewy is insane because he is friends with kendall roy. this is true, but on a deeper level stewy is insane because his job is to participate in the inexorable tendency to more and more abstraction in the capitalist mode of production. it literally does not matter at all to someone like stewy whether people are fed or clothed or happy, or have any of their needs met. the point is solely to create money, to turn all social forms and values into numbers on a balance sheet. this is why, when kendall tries to threaten him on axos at the end of season 2, stewy is able to casually tell him that "it doesn't matter; it doesn't mean anything." he and sandy are convincing shareholders that their offer will be able to make them more money, "and that's all that this is." stewy speaks the language of business differently than logan, because stewy doesn't care about dick-swinging competitions or demonstrating dominance in logan's cringey old catholic military way. which makes stewy more rational in certain ways, but also more insane, in that he operates in a way totally detached from this type of social value system and solely motivated by cold hard numbers.

the irony is that, whilst being detached and disembodied in his business practices, stewy is also better than the roys at appreciating the material fruits of wealth. he eats; he dresses well; he enjoys the "several houses" he owns. kendall is always trying to come up with some grand moral bullshit masculinity reason that what he's doing is noble or whatever, and he's alienated from his body and afflicted with severe catholic martyr disease. stewy just bypasses all that shit, measures his success by his payouts, and enjoys wealth because he sees it as an end in itself and not a means to logan roy's respect.

this is also why kendall's line in 'living+' about "it's enough to make you lose your faith in capitalism" is so funny. kendall can't just accept that business is a bunch of meaningless bullshit confidence games played by coked-up assholes who like to win; he always has to try to convince himself he's making cool new tech shit, or saving the world from the spectre of death itself or some shit. it's like, insane that he made it to literally 40 years old, growing up in a media conglomerate of all things, and still thinks that what he's doing requires actual skill or creates actual social value—but of course, part of the reason he still thinks this is because he deified logan and was therefore incapable of ever seeing logan or waystar for what they really were. stewy would never say that line because he can't be disillusioned this way on account of he already knows the whole thing is bullshit. it's just that to him it doesn't matter, because being bullshit does not preclude it from paying well.

#some1 also asked about that kendall line and it seemed like it wanted to be bundled into this post lol i hope that answers yr q #blood sacrifice #typing this gave me flashbacks to when i did freelance transcription and i used to do this guy's podcast on angel investing #literal nightmare fodder. the hours-long homophobic baptist sermons were better

Constantly rotating Falin Touden in my head as one of the best examples of "haunting the narrative" I've ever seen. Schrödinger's maiden. Schrödinger's chimera. She's the saintly little sister they have to save and the savage dragon they have to slay and the girl they love that they have to eat.

They literally fridged her and defrosted her.

#CHARACTER OF ALL TIME #I say this about every dunmesh character. Because it's true. #Dungeon Meshi #Falin Touden #DUNGEON MESHI SPOILERS #don't even get me started on how Kui deconstructs her in the 'angelic girl on a pedestal' role #how every time she appears she's in conflict with her own selfless desires versus her selfish ones; being consumed versus devouring #Laios's last memory of her is of her self sacrifice and Marcille's is of Falin saying she doesn't care if saving her hurts someone else #let's talk about that!!!! #musings with Dea #sorry I'm going insane because my only two friends reading the manga are doing it at a snail's pace

This rambling post includes spoilers for episode 8 of Hazbin Hotel:

Okay okay okay, so, the thing about Alastor's fight with Adam is...

He was doomed to fail from the beginning.

It's been established that, much like sinners, angels can only be killed with angelic weaponry, but Alastor went into that fight with only his own powers. Was he that arrogant that somehow he'd be the singular demon in all of Hell - the Sins included - to be able to overcome this rule? I mean, Alastor is pretty arrogant, but it's not like he's stupid. The reason he decided to needle Lucifer by positioning himself as a father figure to Charlie (aside from the daddy issues I like to imagine he has) is because he knew from the very start he could never take Lucifer in a straight fight. It's not like he couldn't have used an angelic weapon; several of his shadow tentacles were throwing axes at the exorcist army before his shield broke.

Fuck, maybe he would have WON that fight if he had used an angelic weapon! Alastor put up a pretty good fight against Adam. He's obviously the more skilled fighter between the two, Adam just had overwhelming angelic power.

Alastor threw himself headfirst into a fight he had no hope of winning.

And he almost died.

The distinct SHATTERING of Gul Dukat in Sacrifice of Angels (S6E6) was peak writing. I have my beef with Rick Berman, but that was one of the most BEAUTIFUL endings to a Star Trek episode I have EVER fucking seen.

One reason.

I would like to thank whoever created this parallel. Because oh my lord did it move me to tears.

A one piece x satsuriko no tenshi crossover. Where Zoro is Zack and Sanji is Rachel. Other one piece characters occupy the building as God and other angels, but i haven’t yet decided on them. The focus is on zosan and their death pact.

Zoro is terrible at figuring out his way out of the building but is good at fighting. Sanji is the brain of the breaking out operation. He makes a pact with Zoro. “I’ll help you get out of here if you promise to kill me at the end.” And zoro agrees and makes sure Sanji doesn’t get killed by anyone but him. Along the way, they learn to trust each other and Zoro realizes that he likes Sanji too much to kill him. Even after he realizes that Sanji isn’t a sacrifice but an angel himself. Even after he realizes that sanji had killed his father and his brothers (i know. It’s uncharacteristic behavior for sanji but it has to be this way for the crossover to make sense). Zoro finds out that Sanji’s father and brothers have been abusive to him and Sanji is grappling with a lot of self worth issues and thinks he deserves to die for his sins.

Anyway, they finally make it out after the building collapses behind them. And when Sanji asks Zoro to honor their oath and kill him…zoro confesses instead.

#there are too many parallels bw these two wow #haven’t figured out the details but even on the surface it all makes so much sense #zoro as zack and sanji as rachel and their death pact #the reveal that sanji isn’t a sacrifice but an angel #we can even have that whole danny thing obsessed with sanji’s blue eyes #you guys have any suggestions for the other characters?? #one piece #zosan #sanji #vinsmoke sanji #roronoa zoro #angel of death #satsuriku no tenshi #zosan fic idea
