#connection and understanding with a man

Ravi “who’s Tommy?” Panikkar meeting Tommy for the first time and he asks him if it’s weird being eddie’s friend and dating Buck since they’re divorced.

#ravi panikkar #buddie #911 abc #bucktommy #listen #Tommy goes???? no???? they’re not??? #and Ravi just lays out everything he knows about Buck and #and Tommy starts to second guess everything like shit are they???? #no that was bucks first date with a man #Ravi insistent like no you don’t understand #and Tommy starts to watch Buck and Eddie #and he starts to have a crisis because he knows Buck wouldn’t like cheat on him but #they act like co-parents #and the do couple shit that comes from being together for a long time #Tommy isn’t even upset at this point #he’s making graphs and connecting string with Ravi in a basement #debating the timeline of Buddie and their divorce

#persona 4 #p4 #persona 4 golden #p4g #hanamura yosuke #yosuke hanamura #narukami yu #souyo #OK I LOVE THIS PARTICULAR SCENE FOR MANY MANY REASONS #the first is that the question is a false choice because all answers lead to him calling yosuke anyway #because whether YOU the player like it or not yosuke is yu's first choice and first point of contact his confidant his best friend #the person he relies on when he needs something done his right hand man etcetc #and yosuke doesnt just show up #he anticipates what you had in mind and goes above and beyond #SECOND him calling all of your friends so that he can bring them to a party for a kid he doesnt know #this is once again Yosuke's empathy on display here he understands loneliness and he understands both what shu needs from a single call #as well as what Yu wants because he also gets Yu's empathy and kindness towards Shu #thinking about how Yukiko said Yosuke was more well connected than she was and it kind of destroys me because in practice #any one of them could have called and everyone would have showed up BUT on some level it is understood that it's yosuke's role to rally the #also that's that extra level of like... yukiko actually being from inaba and having lived there all her life... #while yosuke was the “outsider” that had only been in inaba for a little over a year yet he's still regarded as the one with friends #and you know that Yu knows that too thats why he called Yosuke #calling yosuke when he decides to get a cake or presents makes sense because junes is probably the only store still open at night #but calling yosuke as well when yu decides that he needed to call on his friends #that itself means something #god my fucking heart guys #he's good with his queue

when you grew up like we did, it… it impacts how you see the world. everything is filtered through a very specific lens. and ward got that.

i think it’s important to realize you can miss something, but not want it back, paulo coelho.

#daisyjohnsonedit #daisy johnson #aosedit #daisy x ward #anti skyeward #to be clear this isn't meant to romanticize them it's just exploring a facet of their dynamic i find interesting (and utterly terrifying #and sickening) #how much of daisy's connection to ward to begin with was in their shared abusive backgrounds #how he specifically could understand how she grew up and the impact it had on her and her worldview #it physically hurts me to think about how vulnerable she was with him and how much she trusted him with as her s.o #how much she would have felt for him in regard to his own abuse and wanted to help him and what a role that in of itself would have played #in their relationship and in her feelings #something i think aos does really well is allude to daisy's history - how clear it is that she is a survivor of abuse and how consistently #present that is in how she perceives and navigates the world #it's subtle but so very there #her face in that scene where ward goes off because of the staff. CHILLS #and it hurts me so very much to think of how connected she felt to ward in that regard while he himself was preying on and manipulating her #tucking away every vulnerable detail she shared for later use #how he convinces her to trust him and that he won't turn his back on her just to be yet another person who has abused her #how when he starts talking about how he isn't a good man it must be so easy to think he's just like her - thinking she's bad and worthless #and wrong and unlovable because that's what abuse does that's what it does to you #and daisy is so keenly aware of that so much more self-aware than she's given credit for #abuse / #daisy who is actually able to articulate what ward was to her and who maybe misses what she thought he was sometimes because how could #it not be nice to for a moment have someone who understood #but who is also so keenly aware of who he is and what he has done

I finally watched the episodes. And might I say, I see why people started shipping those two...

#huskerdust #hazbin hotel #i was like pressed against my pillows in the sheer amount of “OH MY GODS SHIP” that screamed in my head man #my body was shaking as they sang like wtf they yes please I'm enjoying this #i don't care if they were to get together ill take just their friendship I just enjoy their story and connection and that understanding they #that they have and I'm so not okay about them in any way shape or form man #i don't know if I need this but I'm putting it ig→ #hazbin hotel spoilers #thats all i gotta say folks

abed is better than me because I would NOT have been chill with the prospect of sloppy narcissistic season 1 jeff sharing my dorm room with me indefinitely

#sure I might have offered at first #but I cannot handle someone else constantly being in my space like that #I have my own room rn for the first time since before my little brother was born (he’s a year younger than me) #and I am NOT going back unless there is literally no other option #also yeah yeah I know characterization #abed craves genuine human connection and is under the impression that jeff is a master #and jeff is slowly realizing that everyone at greendale can tell he’s a materialistic douchebag with little substance #and the two of them understand each other in a way no one else does #catalyzed by their mutual love for tv #but I still would have been driven crazy by this man in my space 24/7 #anyway I think the tags are annoyingly long enough #community #nbc community #community nbc #abed nadir #jeff winger

forever being absolutely delusional and loving a rich old man who is unattainable to him, he's the realest member on qsmp

#qsmp #qsmp liveblog #philever #idc what yall say philever is just the funniest ship/duo in the server #also imagine the unattainable part being cuz phil is an angel and how angels are normally depicted above regular humans #maybe there could be some rethoric somewhere on how humans want to connect with beings far from their understandment #but im dumb as hell and english is not my first language so someone could probably do that #anyway i love philever forever is so cringefail go get your mans

do you guys ever think about how gansey described adam as being “poor in love” and how out of everyone in the gangsey he had grown up with the least amount of love and had never had someone to really love him until ronan and how he had been so ready to sacrifice himself for everyone and how he viewed himself as corrupted and having “monsterblood” because of his dad because wow i do

#the raven cycle #the raven boys #the dream thieves #the raven king #adam parrish #gangsey #wow this man destroys me #i am connected to him on an emotional level #like baby pls no i love you i understand

queerplatonic johnlock is so important to me i don't think you understand

#like #it's what they have don't deny it #sure i like when they're romantic/sexual a lot #but i have issues and i just need them to be happy and let holmes be aroace #idk man i'm tired #sorry this doesn't make sense #but do you get it? #i want you to get it #i need to have more connection to sherlock holmes than i already do as well y'know #because i don't understand romantic/sexual relationships at all and i want him to be like that as well #idk i should just write fanfic instead of ranting in the tags #they're my boys okay #will protect them until the end of time #sherlock holmes #john watson #johnlock #acd holmes #queerplatonic

[worstloki]

imagine being Loki and you're on thin ice playing pretend to fit in on a tyrannical mystery garbage planet until you find a safe way to get rid of the murder-happy ruler who you're very clearly keeping up the bit of having no suspicious connections to the shiny new gladiator that was rounded in and then Thor gets angry about it and immediately gives the lie away by saying you two are brothers.

#weeks of work down the drain #i'd be so annoyed #that loki visited thor in that cell waiting room area at all to have a decent conversation was too much grace #do you think loki compromising work to account for thor is a regular thing bc i think it was done pretty seamlessly #like he's very used to it #thor then goes in the ring and alerts everyone to the fact that loki has a connection to HULK too like #thanks thor you bludgeoned through everything then ALSO lost the fight. not to mention the man now wants to melt me into burnt goo #and has an excuse to do it too #did thor really have to denounce loki as a liar 1 sentence into the conversation with no understanding of what was going on #like sure thor was angry but loki was waving giant warning flags at him and NOW he argues for their brotherhood??? #thor had enough context to not do that stuff!!!!!??? #that sounds so tiring #loki should've gotten to kick him at least once

one of the things that makes wolf 359's characterization work so well and feel so genuine is how much it's about perspective. maxwell is a manipulative backstabber in hera's story, a "gift of a friend" in jacobi's, and - from their subjective perspectives - both of them are right about her. i love eiffel, and i'm completely on his side, but... if you were kate garcia and your ex you had a toxic relationship with, a man you had to tolerate in your life because you had a child with him, who - after you were awarded full custody - attempted to kidnap your daughter, and got in an accident that left her disabled... if you thought that man was serving 26 years in prison for what he did, and then you thought he was dead, and then he showed up alive - walking free - and wanted to make amends...? would you want to hear him out? eiffel has suffered so much, and he became a better person in a way carceral punishment would never have done, but from kate's perspective, it must seem like he has never had to face consequences for anything. and that's... complicated, but it's real.

#wolf 359 #w359 #he is both the luckiest and unluckiest man in the world #like. eiffel is who he is to me because of who he is to hera and minkowski and lovelace #and he is that person. he's a person i love. i sincerely believe i would also love eiffel if i knew him irl. #but it's understandable. people can see such different sides of each other and the way wolf 359. understands that and acknowledges #all of those connections... yeah. #i really want eiffel to have a relationship with his daughter some day. he wants that and he'll never stop wanting that #and i care about him so i want that for him #but it's up to her. if she decides not to then. it's entirely her right. #and needless to say but. i think eiffel and kate. probably bring out the worst in each other #and it's such a weird situation to think. how people close to eiffel who don't know that version of him at all #would respond to how she sees him. #... i honestly think hera probably hates her and it's completely unjustified but it's the kind of person she is. #she judges everyone from an extremely close personal perspective and i think she does have kind of a. My People vs Other People mentality #which makes sense given how she's had to protect herself but also. she's just petty and spiteful and defensive sometimes. anyway.

I’ve been playing a lot of small indie games and god I wish the rest of the game industry understood that the whole point of farming and grinding is so that in some point of the journey the player can go HAHAHA I PLANNED FOR THIS and pull off crazy crap earlier than they should be able to. Like Teenage Exocolonist letting me just walk past all the checks when I’m outside the colony and go to the boss immediately because I farmed the fuck out of my perception skill should technically be game ruining but it’s not. I planned for this so I could get the ascension ending easily while simultaneously putting the rest of my effort into figuring out as much about engineering as possible at the same time so I can pull off a full shield run. Having advantages in certain contexts should allow me to interact with it in a way that opens an entirely new path for me to take. Poisoning the campfire survivors at the very beginning of my Inscryption run lets me take a route where I focus on building up the cards I already have instead of hunting down new ones. Advantages are good!! Grinding so you’re high enough level to beat one boss only for the rest of the game to balance itself by making everything else many levels higher than you once again is unrewarding. If your player cannot face your game from multiple angles then maybe it’s not that worth exploring. If your player over relies on an ability they spent a long time working up and they’ve made the game too easy make it so that steers them into a new situation where they have to innovate on their strategy to get things going again. Just hand me a game like Inscryption where I farm the whole game with fecundity decks and then get to Kaycee’s Mod and realize I have to relearn the whole game from a completely new perspective now that I can’t rely on that anymore. If it’s just a matter of “the numbers are too high we have to turn all the other numbers up too” then do the numbers really mean anything anymore or are you just keeping me stuck in a role where I’m saying to myself “once I have the advantage I’ll be able to explore so many new things” but then never letting me have any advantage until near the end when the world has lost its charm because everything is just a damn numbers game.

#Crow rants #again #idk what to tag this I’m just saying shit man #uhh #i was a teenage exocolonist #a rare game that understands the value of having skill stats #I can go on a long rant about how I’ve never seen any other game pull skill stats off that well #the system has its flaws but they balanced the whole advantage thing AND time loop replay advantages at the same time #and they make skills connected to certain plot lines and jobs and other skills #it’s amazing #good example of making grinding fun and not soul sucking #not to mention how they manage to make them work with role playing!! #the players ability to make clever choices still has value while also giving the skill levels value simultaneously #that is a HARD thing to pull off believe me

musical!dmitry isn’t as good as his movie counterpart to YOU. i get him though.

#i get him in way you’ll NEVER understand. #y’all acting like the depth that was given to him is a BAD thing?? #him having more connections to anya and a real reason for spending time with vlad is a BAD thing?? #they literally put the sad pathetic man from screen onto that stage what’s not clicking??? #this is also 3/4 a joke i dont want hate in my notes please. #anastasia #dmitry sudayev #anastasia 1997 #text #userevaz #musical: anastasia

i think there is something to be said about queer subtext in glass animals songs almost always being likened to obscurity and murkiness throughout zaba vs explicit queer text being likened to the sun in helium as in…literally coming out into the light.

#i could write a whole essay about this like genuinely #my zaba masterdoc is like 50 pages long #if u don't understand dave's weird mumbling that's on you #because to me it's alllll connected #and not to overstep but dave has talked about gender and masculinity a lot and is very vague about his sexuality #so i hope this doesn't come off as invasive but when you look at his writing through this lens like...it's truly in the text #comparing tasting a man to the sun like what the fuck do you think that means #zaba is just more abstract and tbh big if true but i think its purposeful abstraction is a great expression of queerness #and a search for a primal truth and a hidden world that challenges your previous worldview #zaba #dreamland #glass animals #maya.txt

btw I don’t know if this is a thing anyone is thinking about but I’m not gonna stop drawing Jimmy as a canary. It’s a lovely bird. It’s still something that’s been really important to his series. There’s no reason to drop the canary headcanon just cuz Lizzie fell into the void.

#warning: don’t open up these tags I went on a very heated and rather unrelated rant cuz I’ve been mad #trafficblr #life series #secret life spoilers #secret life smp #jimmy solidarity #also I’m sick of seeing ppl celebrate Jimmy surviving because they hate the canary curse fans like SHUT UP!!! LET US HAVE FUN GOD!!! #LIKE LITERALLY EVEN IF NOBODY CAME UP WITH THE CANARY METAPHOR WE WOULD STILL BE TALKING ABOUT HOW HES ALWAYS DYING OK WE DIDNT MAKE UP THAT #HE DIES FIRST HE JUST DOES. GOD. so what if some people make shakespeare sounding posts about the curse that I don’t understand. we are JUST #having fun and making connections where we don’t need to BECAUSE ITS FUN. NOT CUZ WE DONT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE. sorry for the past few #days I’ve been genuinely mad at this fandom’s growing hatred towards its own community. #LIKE IM FINE IF ITS NOT YOUR THING BUT GOD. WE ARENT EVEN DOING ANYTHING 😭😭😭 THE LORE LITERALLY WRITES ITSELF OR IS WRITTEN BY MARTYN LOL #I’ve just been getting SO TILTED man. like ohhh yeah okay ur right i said too much guess I won’t say anything anymore #does anyone else genuinely not know wtf ppl are talking about when they say a certain hc takes over everything about the character #cuz I literally see so much varied Jimmy content yet I’ve seen several ppl complain that ppl ignore aspects of his character in favor of #WHATEVER when I literally don’t see that happening to him. step out of ur circle or something I don’t even HAVE a circle man
