#cause WE of course won't

[sarcasmisfluffy]

So, I’m watching Downton cause I’m super late to the party and people have probably pointed this out but the way in the first season Robert (and the Grantham’s as a whole) is like, “Now Matthew, you can’t fire Mosely because you can manage without a Butler or Valet because it would be bad for Mosely and we as the upper class have to give our peasants jobs so they feel useful.” And later on with Mr. Mason, “Well, we have to offer this man a tenancy at the farm because he’s Daisy’s father in law and we can’t have him out in the cold” 

But then in the same season looks at Thomas, the man who saved his daughter from burning to death and is the favorite of all the grandchildren and is like, “Ew, no throw him out in the trash. His job is out of fashion. I don’t know why he just can’t go to another house and get his unfashionable position there. Let’s start referring to him as the Barrow Problem where he can hear” and Carson and most of the other staff are like, “Let’s isolate him and make it unbearable to stay here because Andy might catch *The Gay*” then is all surprise pikachu face when Thomas tries to end himself. 

AND THEN they still are like, eh, Thomas, get thee gone even when Mosley is leaving to become a teacher and Carson gets to wear the surprised pikachu face when “Oh dear, I only have one footman left! What will I do now that I’m getting to old to do my job?” 

I don’t know. Maybe that’s why you should have kept your underbutler instead of yeeting him out the door because other high class families lost their money so it wasn’t fashionable to have an underbutler anymore? 

I just can’t with them. Maybe if there had been another Cricket match during the finale season Robert would have fought to keep Thomas on

#Bonus points for Lady Mary asking Thomas to specifically stir up trouble while they’re in Scotland #and then being like #no #that's too much trouble #Thomas Barrow #The trouble was only supposed to effect the other Butler #even though I know you caused yourself to get dressed down in public #and that you would defend yourself #cause WE of course won't #unless there's a Cricket match at stake #you're not Carson afterall #or the Bateses #downton abbey

Sometimes I wonder if it even makes sense for Arya's first stop back in Westeros to be in the Riverlands. I feel the same way as Arya's response to the Kindly Man when he offers to get her on a ship leaving for Duskendale and Gulltown. She just got there from the Riverlands, what point is there to go straight back? Especially with the way it seems to become a meandering hell for every POV there lol. What developments in TWOW would motivate her to go there? I can really only think of wanting to reunite with Nymeria, or if the faceless men are touchy about cheating death and put a mark on either Lady Stoneheart or Jon that she either has to fulfill or prevent.

It's just when I see actual Arya fans speculate on her TWOW arc it's about running into Jeyne and finding out what's been going on in the North through her name, finding out about Jon's death or resurrection, something to do with the Hardhome wildlings, Bran watching Nymeria through the trees and maybe contacting her the same way he did with Jon, discovering what's going on with the Sealord and maybe getting in his favor, anything involving the keyholders and the Iron Bank, potentially discovering secrets about the red door or even the Sailor's Wife being Tysha, a climax involving the Uncloaking of Uthero... almost everything I can think of would point her back north, to claim herself as the true Arya Stark or getting revenge for Jon's death. Or wanting to reunite if she hears of his resurrection before leaving Braavos.

The only benefit I can think of for landing in the Riverlands first thing is going up through the Neck and meeting Howland Reed. He could give her Robb's will and laugh if she tells him she found out Jon's mother is Wylla through Ned Dayne lol. I want her to meet Lady Stoneheart as much as anyone, but I would prefer Lady Stoneheart stick around long enough to reunite with both Arya and Jon. I don't want the gift of mercy to be given to her before that happens.

See, the tricky part about speculating on Arya's TWOW arc is that she has so many plot connections that it's difficult to imagine that she'll be able to fulfill them all. Arya going to the Riverlands first and ending her story in Winterfell/The North is a way of hitting as many of those connections as possible. I don't think that Arya going to the Riverlands is confined to her antis because a lot of Arya stans make the same speculation, but I do think too many people discount the possibility of her going North. She has several plot connections there in her proxy marriage, Jon dying for her, her connection to Bran (seemingly highlighted in ADWD and hinted at in TWOW), her personal connection to Roose, the likelihood of her encountering Jeyne, her connection to the magical plot, etc. It's also, like you mentioned, unlikely that she intentionally sets out to travel to the Riverlands. George could continue her "never seemed to find the places she set out to reach" and she could get knocked off course, but even then there are other places she could end up. There's a good case for her traveling to both places, or even somewhere new, but there's just too much in the air to say definitively.

#ask #anon #arya stark #personally I think there's a good chance she goes North but a better one that she goes to the riverlands #because I doubt she'll set out to make it to the riverlands again unless she somehow? hears about Lady Stoneheart #In TWOW she'll learn Bran + Rickon are alive that Jon has died and of /her/ marriage to Ramsey which are all connected to the Northern plot #and I think that would do more to push her plot forward just as well as going to the riverlands #I do think th elong night will filter into the riverlands though and that makes me think that she'll be going there first #or she could find herself somewhere inbetween #my best guess is that she sets out for the North gets knocked off course and finds herself closer to the riverlands #there's just a lot to speculate and we won't KNOW until we get TWOW so it's hard to say #either way she's gonna have a whole arc in Braavos and I'm so excited to see it after the slop D&D gave us #speculating for Arya is so hard and fun cause there are so many ways that it could go #either way I need a reunion between Arya and Nymeria at some point

what if the journals ranging from jealousy to near worship weren't that bad what if it was just william's gay ass theater kid poetry about his crush that looked really bad to a divorced police officer without context. i don't actually think that's what happened its just fun to think about. like what if

#angry roomba whirrs #five nights at freddys #fnaf #william afton #william afton fnaf #fnaf william afton #do you think hes a cannibalism as a metaphor for love kinda guy or does he go for a more catholic guilty ohh my love is corruption angle #like i dont really know much about catholic gulit or catholicism in general cause im not a catholic but like ive seen the tumblr posts #and the gay religious fanart #oh shoot i forgot to tag willry #willry #willry fnaf #fnaf willry #ok done PHEW #so anyway like what would a divorced police officer know about romance? firstly hes a cop secondly hes divorced so clearly not much #and we all know william hes theatrical hes a romantic or at least he seems like the romantic type im kinda jumping to conclusions here #so he would write gay ass theater kid poetry about his crush! he would! #and then when some normie ass unpoetic cop reads his DIARY of course hes not gonna understand the poetic passages dedicated to his love #like HELLO????? thats not ““““raving”””” its a SOLILOQUY come on man #and! he read his DIARY. like idc that he was investigating a murder you! dont! read! peoples! diaries! #if i were will and someone read my diary i would be so horrified like im surprised that HE wasnt the one who built a suicide bot after that #also! if you picked a random ass average target goer probably likes golf or something and showed them cannibalism as a metaphor for love #poetry they probably wouldn't see the poetic devotion part of it i think that they might think that you're crazy #or maybe. im just severely underestimating the poetic literacy of the average golf playing target goer that could be true #but anyways maybe thats what happened between clay and will like clay saw his poetry and was like yeah this is weird #oh shit i just realized a lot of the contents of williams diary are just public knowledge now like at least a mention of the raving passage #has to be somewhere in the case file just for anyone to access. oh god they live in a small town too word travels fast ohhh crap #well he kind of brought it upon himself like idk maybe don't kill children and your diary won't be read #by poetically illiterate and romantically stunted divorced cops #sorry im yapping. im yap deprived i needed to yap cough cough yeah that's me coughing from how yap deprived i am cough cough cough

i may be pretty dedicated to avenue q but i will never be as dedicated as that one guy who has an 100k+ fic on rod/nicky

#fish.txt #avenue q #dude i was tryna sleep. but i was having a crisis over the fact that avenue q will not always be this much of an interest for me #cause with all of my other interests they fade just before they last a full on year #and well. that time is sort of coming for Q. but we will see how long it lasts #of course whenever i do fully lost my fixation/interest on it it won't stop being important to me it just like. won't be my waking thought #anymore. and i wont think about it as often. but rod is still in my pocket so lmao

oh yeah i don't know if i mentioned this but ghost got nominated for a grammy this year which means my husband could still win a grammy yippee ^^

#of course we won't actually see him on the red carpet or accepting the award if they do win #because as far as i know tf doesn't do award shows in character anymore #which sucks cause terzo at the grammys was iconic and i'd like to see copia there... #but still! exciting nonetheless! #he's been nominated twice too in the past #including for call me little sunshine which is neat because that's my song that i headcanon that copia wrote for/about me #what do you have to say doll?

if you want people to be kind to you then you need to be kind to others. it is exactly that simple and exactly that hard

#there is nuance of course #times you have a breakdown and times you just fucking snap #times you can't control when and where you lash out #but then what's important is what comes after #whether you try to make up for whatever hurt you caused #it's HARD. #and sometimes it is thankless #and sometimes it doesn't feel good #but some of the most important acts of kindness are those that don't feel good #admitting that you're wrong almost never feels good #but imagine the world if people in power did that more often #imagine if we gave more grace to let people change #even if it feels bad #even if we're sure it won't do anything #because the alternative is giving no one anywhere to go except to double down on their hatred #or made it Even Harder for them to admit they were wrong and all the screaming hateful people were right #do no harm; take no shit #like absolutely dont set yourself on fire to keep other people warm but #god. please. try to do no harm

Alternative universes are such a cool concept to me.

Like, imagine there's a universe where Colombus never sailed across the world, or even one where he was just not a shitty person. I wonder how different my life would be sometimes. Or maybe something a lot less impacting.

Maybe one where Ranboo Live or Wilbur Soot never got popular. I probably would have gotten over my DSMP faze a lot quicker than the almost three years it took me. They definitely helped shape my humor, no way I would be the same person.

Or a universe where I was actually born a boy. I think about that one a lot as well. I don't doubt my life would be easier, I don't doubt I would also be a LOT happier.

Maybe in a universe where the Library of Alexandria wasn't burned down, how much more literature would we have? How many more things would we know?

Do you think there's a Universe where there's a place that holds all the universe's secrets? I've thought of that a lot too. I've always pictured it as a ginormous library with bookshelves touching the ceiling to the floor, golden engravings etched along the side, and one of those moving ladders from Beauty and the Beast. There would be an area in the middle of the bookshelves with tables and tables seated next to each other in an infinite amount of rows. Of course, there would be two floors, maybe even a third! I think one of the floors would have a couple of restaurants. I'm picturing a Panera and a Tim Hortons, placed along the sides. The books would contain anything you could ever want to know, from the Meaning of Life to a Do it Yourself Book: Origamii Edition, to your favorite fan fiction in physical form!

#alternate universe #christopher columbus #trans man #trans rights #Cisgender AU #ranboo #wilbur soot #I would normally tag the DSMP but I'm a Dranti now so I won't. #library of alexandria #Knowledge #Thinking #shifting #? kinda #ok but another thing BLACK PHONE I'm sorry but I would love a place where everyone survived or maybe an entirely different concept where its #still the 80s and the same characters and shit but an entirely different concept where the Grabber doesn't exist and it's just a sitcom #comedy thing but they're aloud to be gay course let's be honest there was something with Robin and Finney. #and Brance too cause even tho they had no screen time together I still ship it so add them too. #also the show has like 12 seasons with super good acting and it's a well-written slow burn with Rinney end game and fuck it I want a Billy #episode all we got from him was that he has a dog and he's a paper boy. and I change my mind I want double the seasons but I don't want it #to END with Rinney I want it to start in season 12 out of 24 and after that it's just fluff and drama. but also I want more Donna #it's just fluff and drama. but also I want more of Donna not necessarily as a homewrecker character but I wanna introduce her as one #at the start of the series later her character gets more complex than just ‘Finney’ I want depth not just boys. I also don't want it to just #revolve around Finney even tho he's the main character I want the point of view to change now and again. I want to know what its like in #the day of the like if Vance #of Vance Griffin Billy Bruce AND ESPECIALLY ROBIN Holy shit I wanna see so much pining with him and I want to audience to be border on #mad at Finney for not realizing that Rkbin likes him back.

[smol-tired-binch-blog]

It baffles me sometimes how Yakuza 0 is about the weight of taking a life and how death and killing is a big deal and then the rest of the series it's like lol no.

Female character? Kill her off with little fanfare and development. Helpful side character? Dies for the protag. Antagonist? Have them off themselves.

Characters whose deaths could've and probably should've carried more weight but we don't get enough focus or development on their character. Potential is often squandered. And yes, there is something hard hitting about losing a character before they truly had the chance to flourish, but when it keeps happening? We can't build on character bonds, that'd mean cutting down on substories!! What do you mean we've done this one before it's different now!!!

Not to mention when the franchise decides that completely fatal wounds Are Fine Actually They're Alive And Well All Along. And, y'know. The Heat Actions. Akiyama has kicked many men to death and you won't convince me otherwise.

Idk I like the franchise but I feel there's a bit of lack of tonal cohesion here and there. Notably.

#smol speaks #smol plays yakuza #you are free to disagree but i cannot take the idea the franchise treats death with weight seriously #every one so far has ended with an antagonist who's actually really interesting and could have so much more done with them only for them to #fuckin kill themselves whilst taking out the ACTUAL villain who is far less interesting and basically always just 'Bad Man In Suit' #just Dude Who Wants Power. which yeah in a franchise about yakuza makes sense but they're not interesting about it despite being the REAL #mastermind or w/e. and then Yakuza 4 switched things up by not even giving us an interesting secondary antagonist so very brave move there! #and of course wasting Yasuko's potential but that's fine I'm not bitter. and before you go 'but what about Sayama/Makoto' they get shipped #off to the States and Hana-chan got made skinny so shh. There's a greater pattern at play here and we can talk about the #writing for female characters another time. i'm just saying there gets to a point where death in the franchise doesn't shock me #it does often disappoint me though. if it's not Kiryu or Majima or Haruka or some other protag don't get too attached cause even if they #don't die you likely won't see them again. also they likely will die because fuck you actually. or rubber bullets. as a double fuck you

people who are batshit insane bipolar narcissists who happen to take an unfortunate interest in religion: yeah like I get told off by my entire family because I won't stfu about how they're all going to hell. I can't believe them. or when I tell my friend the same thing and they insult me or call me too religious like I am literally stating facts?? not my fault it's god's 🙄 can't believe they're following religion wrongly and not like My Holy Interpretation and way of practice

#no bc. i am muslim and 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 its a struggle if not for my absolute convinction in god #man. honestly #i'll like a story and then come online or talk to someone else about it and they'll have the most absurd and obviously wrong interpretation #so of course something like this happens with something so important as religion. the vast majority of people are stupid no matter what #unfortunately #idk im not denying the quran either. i Really Really hate being delusional and denying whats Infront of me or whats otherwise #literally the truth of. everything #but yknow we are human... the truth is that we aren't angels who do no wrong and are perfect and we shouldnt treat others like that #like i cant fathom seeing someone do something even factually wrong and instead of trying to figure out the Core reason theyre doing that #or their feelings or their mentality #which are the cause and root of everything btw #you just insult them and call them names and say theyre better not practicing at all or FORCING THEM to do whats right #like idfc if the thing youre forcing them to do IS factually right I do not care youre ruining and tainting islam by your actions. #that mentality is so disgusting. to be the judge of someone and order them around #at the end of everything Everyone has their own opinion and choice #if you truly are convinced islam is right then you won't force your child to practice. your child will eventually practice by themselves #when they grow up! and realize how the world works #and if they dont then oh well. everyone is going to be judged alone and that's their problem yknow #it may be incredibly frusterating but ultimately cope #theres nothing right that will be right with yelling and fighting and screaming and force.

The knowledge that other people make aus like Milo Murphy characters as Wizard of Oz has me so relieved but so anxious

Relieved because I'm not an insane weirdo who has to hide it anymore

unclear whether i'm getting upgraded to principal on the KC concert or not...?

#sasha speaks #oboeposting #dan says he 'got his dates fucked up' and won't be there but the roster still says i'm second #(lol of course we aren't swapping seats i'm just the replacement if he's gone) #but it's weird cause we're recycling a lot of the KC rep for our april concert and i wouldn't expect them to have us swap parts again #well we'll see i guess... it's all opera for us for the next month anyway. then i'll get a week before KC lol #so there's no time to fuss over it anyway #(it would be nice to play principal on the vltava tho. i think it'd be nicer to play principal with a sectionmate playing second #rather than being alone up there again but. still nice)
