#critically injured

[symbologic]

Do you ever wonder if deep down, in Luffy's heart, he doesn't let himself worry about Zoro because he genuinely can't? Because the alternative is simply too horrifying to contemplate for even a second?

Think about how awful it was for Luffy when he lost someone very dear to him at Marineford. This person had even promised — promised! — Luffy that he would never die. That he would never leave him alone. Yet this person who was supposed to be Luffy's constant was ripped away from him, and Luffy was powerless to stop it.

"Devastated" doesn't even come close to describing the abject despair Luffy felt at that moment. He completely shut down and went catatonic.

#We talk about Zoro's devotion toward Luffy #but we don't really talk about Luffy's borderline irrational faith in Zoro #Especially pre-timeskip #when it seems like Zoro was horribly injured more often than not #and there are times where Luffy comes across as insensitive at best and uncaring at worst *COUGH* thriller bark *COUGH* #Not saying Luffy doesn't care. He obviously does; and he shows it in his own way! #But I've also seen criticism of Luffy's apparent obliviousness after Thriller Bark #and imo it's not entirely unwarranted. #There's unwavering faith yes; and I don't doubt Luffy's faith in Zoro is heartfelt and genuine #AT THE SAME TIME #there's whatever tf was going on when Luffy was genuinely shocked that Zoro was running on fumes by Sabaody #as if it never even occurred to him for a second that Zoro might not get back up after getting hit by that pacifista #and maybe it genuinely didn't occur to him...because he refuses to conceive of a world without Zoro in it #because he promised Luffy — promised him! — he would would never die #text post #my meta #one piece #monkey d. luffy #roronoa zoro #zolu #luzo #meta

bumble beating alex after alex beat leafpool feels like the greatest vindication of all time

Alex DeWitt is a worthy opponent, there is honor in Leafpool's loss to such a venerable foe. From that fight, we walk with pride.

But BUMBLE must go to the top, we're gonna do this lads. How many other times have you seen a horrible murder of an innocent woman FRAMED LIKE IT WAS INEVITABLE BECAUSE SHE WAS FAT?? An extra kill for a 'redeemable' serial abuser because ONE unprovoked slaughter of a different innocent woman wouldn't have been "bad" enough?

Or hell... would that be TOO reasonable? We can't have Gray Wing be wrong and need to learn something; he's gotta be right that this contrived, sounds-like-it-was-made-up-on-the-spot account from Clear Sky is the truth and he only mercilessly slaughtered 1 girl for no reason. Because he was scared.

"Everyone clap at my sweet brother. Beating the shit out of women with less power than him is his coping mechanism for being so sad."

But. Anyway. Hold no anger in your heart for Leafpool's loss. Alex is taking fancy pictures of her with her big ass journalist camera. Leafpool never met a girlie she didn't like. Friends <3

#There's a lantern who's a cat I think but idk its color #Red? One of the angry emotions. All I remember is that the cats owner was killed to death by murder. so the cat had a tragic backstory #And it got a lantern ring #Green lantern is dc right? DC vs WC misogyny war critical damage 30 dead 900 injured #Bone babble

BFTC isn’t really a case of terrible characterization for Jason so much as it was a terrible case of victim blaming. Like yeah, some of the things Jason did were a bit extreme compared to his “better” appearances, but that’s nothing new and pretty much true of many stories that aren’t utrh or lost days. The bad parts are are also definitely exaggerated by fans.

The story isn’t centered on Jason. Of course every other character’s description of Jason would be knee-jerk dismissive and misunderstanding, since (again) the intention was to make Jason out to be the cartoony bad guy villain. But if you look past the layers of grime they added, the bare bones of his characterization are not entirely incorrect. It’s a biased story in which their intended criticisms of Jason’s morals often fell short, so to compensate they deliberately cranked up his motivations to be more extreme and unrealistic (but one which, nonetheless got Jason’s overall thoughts and goals relatively consistent with stories that portrayed him accurately).

Yes, him shooting Damian was out of character, but granted we’re all in agreement that it was a true case of “bad writing decision”, I don’t think it’s hard to look past. The only other bit people probably complain about (which felt iffy at worst) was him being “a bit enthusiastic” at times in trying to convince Dick to become another lethal Batman (you can just as easily say Jason wouldn’t have been personally invested enough to have acted in the way he did). I don’t care though because he was probably doing it for shits and giggles, and it was funny watching him push their buttons on his spare time while being excellent at his job. Same old ‘none of them deny that he’s effective, they just can’t get behind the killing’ conflict.

Looking past the fact that Jason still had a valid point, the “he’s the bad guy” plot falls apart for other obvious reasons, which happen in the 3rd issue. It’s kind of hard to focus on how much of a bitch Jason’s being when the other characters are written in an infinitely more problematic way (which ends up happening in most “hate Jason” stories). Not only did they heavily imply Jason is a victim of SA, but the way Dick/the batfamily treats Jason about this is … horrible. Arguing that this was a case of character assassination for Bruce and Dick would be more realistic than using this story to claim Jason is a Bad Person™.

Even though Bruce does have a bad track record with his perspective on victims of SA.

Hey. Maybe listen to the living person begging you to turn it off.

Geez. I wonder why he never felt safe enough to confide in Bruce or any of the rest of them. Implying that enduring what he did made him “broken beyond repair”, that he needs to be “fixed”, and saying verbatim, “you are my greatest failure”, not “I failed you greatly”. Then deciding on behalf of Jason that a bunch of people who weren’t involved in what happened to him should all know about this so they can decide what should be done. And everyone agrees with this garbage. Unbelievable.

Aka, any sort of healing he may have tried to accomplish was ruined by you lot. When exactly am I supposed to see that Jason was evil all along.

The story collapses in on itself in the third issue because where Dick is supposed to be at his prime within the arc, he just sort of rambles about how Jason was a shitty victim and then awkwardly shifts to talking about personal growth and coming to accept his own heroic destiny.

I do resent this, but not because “Jason sucks here”. Jason’s “bad portrayal” pales in comparison to the problematic mindsets given to the other characters (namely Dick) which were framed as good-natured intentions and “tough love”. As for people who describe this as “vilifying Jason to prop up Dick” … I don’t really know what to make of that.

#my post #the way they constantly go out of their way to praise Jason’s marksmanship and overall combat skills #and how everyone he killed died because he meant for them to #and Tim and Damian weren’t critically injured. he didn’t attack them with the intention to kill and it’s obvious #not only that it’s made clear they were both wearing heavy duty kevlar #and considering Jason’s an expert on this stuff himself he knew it wouldn’t really do long term damage. #he also knows how to attack people to do any specific kind of damage. if you claim that about Bruce smashing a dude’s skull #against a brick wall and not killing him then you can claim the same thing for Jason #but of course people will always dwell on inconsequential bullshit and try to make a grand point out of it if it’s about Jason #even as they point out that it was a dumb decision made by the writers #‘Jason was violent towards children' do you want me to never shut up again about who is consistently violent with his own children? #not only was this pretty tame compared to the things Bruce has done to Jason and the other batkids #in the majority of his appearances Jason has always been deeply sympathetic and caring towards kids #hence why people always point out how this is a shitty outlier

really funny to me that clockblocker is my favorite ward when comparatively kid win has done more to alter my brain so you would Think he would deserve that spot however. clockblocker affects me by making me go heehoo and waow and yippee and yeay every time he shows up and his power utility also lets me flex my strategy game brain muscles in an enriching way & therefore i love and adore him. kid win affected me by jumping out of the screen, strangling me, stabbing a knife into the side of my head, throwing me out of a moving car in the rain and leaving me to lay in agony waiting for a slow inevitable death in three days time & therefore I hate him. he’s neat tho. i like 1.5 wards <3

#scarf.txt #wormblr #parahumans #clockblocker #kid win #anyone who has ever met me knows that I have a godawful fucked wishywashy relationship to my brain operations #so when i read kid win’s interlude it injured me critically. in a way that makes me appreciate him but fucking despise what those words did

I used to think it was weird that Percy brought up the River Styx incident in MoA because I thought I remembered him being chill about it at the end of TLO... but upon rereading, Percy never actually tells Nico that he forgives him. He doesn't even think it to himself.

and Percy's complete lack of empathy about the whole thing is crazy. Nico, aged 12, can't remember his own mother's name and the most empathetic thought Percy can muster is "If I hadn't been so mad at the little creep, I might have felt sorry for him." Which like... is fair play in the moment I guess, but he never gives it a second thought! He just leaves it at that!

#percy jackson #nico di angelo #this is more a criticism of how it was written than about Percy as a character #My memory of the og series is so much worse than I thought it was #The part toward the end of BotL when Tyson runs to get Percy because Nico is injured #I could have sworn that happened at the end of TLO #and I thought that was when Percy tells Nico that he'd regained his trust by convincing Hades to help in the war #But that conversation never happened!!! Where did that memory come from!!!!

It’s The Calamity, Baby!

[Image Description: Digitally painted fanart of various scenes featuring Zerxus and Asmodeus from Exandria Unlimited: Calamity. On the upper left, Asmodeus is massive, wearing armor and holding Zerxus in the palm of his hand. In the lower right, Zerxus stands with his son, Elias in front of a burning landscape and a hole that opens up to the light of the starts. In the center right is a tree with a silhouetted figure in the distance. To the left is Zerxus kneeling before a gravely injured, reclining Asmodeus. Light shines from his spell. Zerxus is healing Asmodeus’ wounds while Asmodeus looks at Zerxus.]

Probably unpopular opinions:

YELLOWJACKETS: Engrossing but half-baked Showtime horror-thriller series, obviously inspired by the TV show LOST and the real-life Uruguayan rugby team lost in the Andes in 1972, about a suburban high school girls' soccer team that descends into madness while stranded for two years in the wilderness following a plane crash in the mid-1990s, split between the period leading up to and following the crash, with the characters as teenagers, and the present day, where the rescued survivors are now maladjusted adults struggling to live down what happened to them 25 years earlier.

While the show's dark humor and assorted plot mysteries command attention, it's marred by a growing sense, even in the more tightly written first season, that many of the questions have no actual answers, and the showrunners are basically just winging it — unwise with a series this structurally complicated, and the same mistake that eventually reduced LOST to an extended shaggy-dog joke.

The plot holes really begin to accumulate in the clumsy, badly paced second season, which leaves the capable adult actors struggling to navigate obvious gaps in their characters' histories and interrelationships that the writers haven't yet gotten around to mapping out, and causes what are supposed to be fireworks-laden confrontations to fizzle ineffectually. An initially amusing plotline about the adult Shawna (Melanie Lynskey) trying to cover up a murder with the help of her loyal but useless husband (Warren Kole) and snotty teenage daughter (Sarah Desjardins) eventually reveals itself as a weak imitation knockoff of SANTA CLARITA DIET that doesn't know when to pivot, and the introduction of Elijah Wood as a (ludicrous) hetero love interest for the adult Misty (Christina Ricci) creates an obvious tension between Ricci's decision to play Misty as a closeted lesbian in love with Natalie (Juliette Lewis) and the writers' apparent determination to there-homo the main characters.

However, the biggest problems with YELLOWJACKETS remain the show's ongoing reluctance to make up its mind about whether it's a psychological thriller or a supernatural horror story in the mode of Stephen King's THE SHINING — an ambiguity that's more exasperating than intriguing — and the troubling fact that the characters of color are consistently treated far more brutally (and more dismissively) than any of the white characters.
