#do you think they’d be friends

[twinstxrs]

idk if this is accurate but i’ve felt like in previous seasons riz & gorgug have been one of the inter-bad kids dynamics we’ve seen the least of & this season has been so great in that aspect. gorgug having helped make some of riz’s magic gear. riz helping gorgug with his studies. the shared birthday party. gorgug’s gift to riz being something he himself made to protect riz. riz’s gift to gorgug being something he illegally grabbed to protect gorgug. gorgug who utilizes rage to put his body on the line for his friends & riz who will take deep levels of mental stress for his friends. even though it was within the context of a joke, riz calling gorgug an “absolute sweetie.” like yea they might not be in a band together or both part of a presidential campaign team or owlbears teammates, but they’d go to war for each other, because they’re best friends.

#riz gukgak #gorgug thistlespring #fantasy high #dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #these kids are all so self-sacrificing but i do think riz gorgug are the most clear (& juxtaposed) self-sacrificers #riz will mentally tear himself to pieces and get lost in cases and take on ungodly levels of stress for those he loves #gorgug will use himself as a human shield. he will take hit after hit if it means his friends are okay. #and they’d both do the other thing too. riz would let himself get hit for gorgug. gorgug would pull all nighters & take stress for riz. #even if mechanically they can’t or it wouldn’t make sense. they would if they could. #also #the starstruck barry mechanic of being a guard is so gorgug. it’s soooo gorgug like that’s literally him #anyways love this tall green guy & this short green guy so much #especially because gorgug is tall & considered intimidating but protective in a deeply kind way #while riz is short & underestimated but protective in a deeply vicious way (affectionate) #i hope this makes sense but i think riz is primarily ‘i would kill for you’ & gorgug is primarily ‘i would die for you’ maybe #this does not mean gorgug would not kill for riz or riz would not die for gorgug. they both would. #but those are the primary ways their love manifests due to the nature of their strengths/personalities. To Me #idk this is all just me saying stuff when i should be sleeping 😭 #sorry if i missed a riz gorgug moment in the main post btw i’m tired

I had a dream that I was watching The Terror again and it was… a bit different.

There was a plot where Francis Crozier was pregnant. Not by Fitzjames, no; they weren’t close like that. I think by someone who was 1) a casual hookup and 2) dead. He was confiding in Fitzjames about it, though, and complaining of breast soreness. Fitzjames asked him if he was sure he was pregnant and he said yes, that he recognized the symptoms from when he was younger, and then told a story about how his mother had helped him get an abortion when he was a teenager so he could pursue his then-incipient naval career.

Unfortunately, in the dream, I was watching this version of The Terror with my father and brother and they were confused. “But he’s a man! How is such a thing possible?”

“Transgender,” I explained impatiently, because it was obvious this was the direction the show had gone with the character, even though the actor playing him was still cisgender actor Jared Harris.

“But still, no way this would happen,” I added. “I mean, look at him. He’s GOT to be post-menopausal.”

#mt #this was like #well after the men had started dying #there’d been some disaster and the party had split and regathered #they’d gotten back onto the boat? #the ice had melted enough to sail a little? #mr hickey was there and kept trying to joint the conversation and Crozier kept telling him exasperatedly to drive the boat #all the while Crozier had a hand up his own shirt trying to relieve his #breast pain #anyway before you ask he DID have pale pink white person nipples. I seen them. #I think in the dream it was mastitis but that’s so rare antepartum #just one of the many ways the writing was unrealistic smdh! #but shout out to the imaginary Irish Catholic woman helping her kid get an abortion in like 1812. I DO want to believe. queen shit fr! #the terror #god Fitjames was such an idiot about it #it was like month four or five and he was like ‘do you think it could be a tumor’ #TUMORS DONT KICK HE JUST TOLD YOU IT WAS KICKING #DUMB ASS #but he was genuinely concerned as a friend so some crimes can be forgiven #francis crozier’s geriatric pregnancy hour #edit: the croziers were from ulster and Presbyterian. my bad! #sorry for calling his ma a Catholic do you forgive me

I think Basen and Lock should be friends

#Little brothers who watch their older brothers sacrifice everything to protect them #do you guys see the vision #bonus points if it’s like TBoaH universe #I think the side characters should interact with eachother more on screen #I want to see Rosalyn Choi Han and Lock dynamic #let’s watch them blow up palaces or whatever they do #can we have more of the OG Protaganist trio #Also I wish the Henituses showed up more but at the same time I get why they don’t #back to Lock and Basen #I was just thinking about it cause they both want to get stronger and are inspired by their older brothers(Choi Han and Cale) #and like idk I think they’d be friends #they’re both nerds too #its perfect really #tcf #trash of the count's family #lcf #lout of the count’s family #tcf novel #lcf novel #rambling

Which Link is most likely to get banned from Olive Garden

And if you feel like it, tell me who you picked and why!! (And what they did to get banned)

If you’d like to do something similar for the Zeldas, here you go:

#lu chain #linked universe #legend of zelda #they’re my silly little guys #and they do silly little things #at least one of them is definitely getting banned from an olive garden #bear with me and let’s pretend olive garden even exists for them #personally i think it would be wind #second to get banned would be wild and hyrule #they’re all up to something #loz #all the links #the whole chain my beloveds tbh #but i can admit they’d get banned from several restaurants #for one reason or another #they’re up to some stupid antics #and i love it #ill shut up now #actually i have more to say #actually my friend does #but i agree with him #wind wouldn’t be the one kicked out #he would get a warning #and time and twi would be told to put their kid on a leash #wild on the other hand #that fucker is an adult #(depending on who you ask) #he is fully capable of being kicked out

Every time Aaron and Justin talk about Rayllum in an interview a solid 15 years are shaved off my life.

#do not blow this you two do NOT #I will disown you I will disown the show nothing happened after s3 #I just keep thinking about this book series I read as a kid #that wasn’t even good but #in the last book the main couple decided they’d ‘misunderstood their feelings for each other’ this whole time #and that they were deep friends but nothing more and the guy was paired off with some girl who was only introduced in the last book? #I don’t remember anything else I don’t even remember the name of the series #but that haunts me to this day #I didn’t even ship them! but still… haunts me #anyway I’m done for now #the dragon prince #rayllum #tdp crew

Every time someone compares Astarion to that guy from the Barbie Princess and the Pauper movie a star is born

#bg3 astarion #cracks me up every time #you think they’d be friends? #mortal enemies? #enemies to lovers? #either way been doing it #baulders gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #baldurs gate astarion #wtf even if the name of the barbie movie villain anyways? #astarion bg3

#antares speaks #no listen!! hear me out #i LOVE the character choice to have him join with Anders i think it’s perfect #i just wish they’d let him be his own character still more than just like… Anders’ understudy :/ #he’s so interesting and tbh i wish you heard him and Anders speak to each other out loud!!!! #but of course they weren’t going to do that 😒😒 #can’t be seen to be showing humanity to ppl who talk to themselves or… idk how to talk about this right bc i don’t know very much about it #so forgive me if my language is clumsy!! #but like some people have more than one personality or ‘voice’ i guess in their heads and that’s totally cool and we COULD let it be normal #just give me Anders AND Justice as distinct(ish) entities even even they get confused about who’s who!! #let me interact more w Justice!!! he’s in there even when Anders is being Normal:tm: and he could have been his own character still!!!! #give me back my friend okay :c #anders dragon age #justice dragon age #dragon age 2 #dragon age awakening #i’m playing awakening again and i’m having SOOOO many anders + justice feels :((( 💔💖✨ #okay sorry for giving a ted talk in the tags. it will happen again lol

I honestly just don’t get how people default to thinking southern accents are like unserious and unintelligent, I know I live in a bubble and I’ve never been outside of the south so like my world view is skewed but like idk I can’t like conceptualize hearing someone’s accent and going “your accent is too stupid and silly for you to have a brain” like ???

#deity dialogue #sorry I’m rlly half asleep #obvs my worldview is different cause I’m southern I’m surrounded by southern ppl I hear the accent all the time #so it’s like normal obvs but idk it still baffles me #idk if I ever go north are y’all gonna be mean to me cause I talk in a way that y’all perceive as stupid and lesser than how you do?? #I’ve already mentioned that even here we aren’t safe from the ‘haha youre a dumbass southern hick’ statements #which is rich cause like bitch who are you to be talking you live here too I don’t wanna hear you call me a red neck cause you’ve been here #for a long ass time to and I’m sure if you went up north they’d be on your ass the same way they’d be on mine #like what gives you the right? #like I will say also that I do make fun of the accent but in the way that lexi and I will be heatedly talking and get more southern with #each word and that amuses and delights us like idk it’s fun to look at someone who just said one word in a more extreme southern accent on #accident and repeat it back to them #but like at the end of the day we like being southern we don’t think there’s anything wrong with it or like inherently worth mocking #plus there’s a difference between two friends being silly and strangers telling you you’re a stupid redneck hick :) #this is also coming from someone who compared to other southern ppl doesn’t have the most strong southern accent (it’s there onvs but ya #know) and I still have to deal with this shit :/ #sorry I need to go to bed and shut up no one caressss

Last post before I crash and no-one hears from me until I return from my first final the morrow’s eve (a changed man no doubt) but there’ll never be anything funnier to me than consistently being viewed as a composed and calm saviour by peers while I’m, actively and uncontrollably losing it.

#not said sarcastically or as a vent by the way I genuinely find it so terribly amusing. you think I have it together ? aw <3 you fool. #i’ve been pacing around my room like a starving lion since the past week in whatever free time i’ve had. #and i keep getting people in my messages begging me for last minute help ? which is endearing but. i’m hanging on for dear life myself #helping isn’t foreign to me; i have 4 (?) people in my class who almost exclusively refer to me as ma’am and even refer to me as a teacher. #but helping last minute is so. deeply chaotic. #and I have this issue with me where having others around me makes me immediately drop into a ‘role’ of sorts? #i’ll be freaking out but then someone else starts freaking out around me and my immediate response is to just. #hey. we are going to make it out of this. it’s easy as pie. do you see me worried? no right? <- on the verge of hyperventilating #there’s this one guy in particular who got so excited to find out we have the exact same examination set-up tomorrow. #i gave him like basic pointers and i don’t think i’ve ever been thanked so earnestly and desperately in my life. #i remember during mocks my friends would message me what I wrote in questions and then they’d immediately go oh thank Fuck. #they’d literally just act like they’re absolutely going to pass now just because we had points ​in common. #as if i’m some sort of fucked up correct answer sheet incarnate. #it’s genuinely really sweet to me though; like i’m not posting this ranting or such. #having so much faith in another to the point that you can put yourself completely at ease says. alot i think. #and i’m glad i can be that person for so many. #and I feel like it helps me in a way too because i become so concerned with others that I forget to drown myself in my worries. #i forget that I’m worried because there are others to care about and console and help. so i suppose they help me in a way as well. #but also who is going to be that person for ME. who is going to console ME. im going fucking neurotic /jest #<- woman with ego issues & control issues who would rather die than accept help. #sigh. oh well. I’m sure we’ll do just fine. cannot wait #🥀🍷 — colloquy.

Also quick focus on Mal… If I ignore some of the things that happened in this chapter, I still like his “reunion” scene from last week. It was fun and felt kind of like old times. But when you factor those things in — mainly the fact that he said he thought we were dead — the way he acted last chapter is so upsetting and doesn’t even make sense now. If he really thought MC was dead, why wasn’t he more shocked to see her? If he couldn’t express that during/after the heist, why couldn’t he express that on the dock or at camp or literally anywhere else? Why has everything been so rushed? What are the writers doing??

#choices blades #choices bolas #blades of light and shadow #mal volari #playchoices #the problem is that the heist scene is good on its own #but it’s not like we can just pretend it happened outside of the story #the narrative they’ve crafted for this book is based on MC being kidnapped and experimented on for a year #but the Mal scene does not work within that narrative #it would work if the group had just been separated for a while or if MC had gone off on her own for whatever reason #but that’s not the case and I really don’t know why the writers are making all of our friends act like it is? #idk how the individual scenes with the other LIs went bc I didn’t get them #so that’s also why I’m only speaking on Mal’s but overall the interactions with everyone are so disappointing #I’m kind of suspecting that it’s because they said they were planning to introduce one or more new LIs #and I’m assuming one of them is Valax #but if the writing for the original LIs has to suffer for that then don’t do it! #I mean how hard is that to understand #maybe I’m wrong though but I can’t think of any other reason why they’d be botching the story this bad already #choices #choices stories you play #choices app

look. listen. i am a davits draven apologist but i still know canonically there is little reason for jyn and draven to try to get along even in nobody dies! aus but at the same time. the comedy of these two cranky wet cats being shoved into close proximity because they both, in their own ways, care about the fate of the galaxy and also cassian andor is simply too good

#draven; glaring: do u know if cassian remembered to eat today. #jyn; glaring back: yes he did no thanks to YOU. #like i think if they had time they’d never be like FRIENDS but they would develop a grudging mutual respect #jyn erso #davits draven #r1

I try not to get personally invested in the mcyt content creators, but even so I do enjoy it when they do little things that remind you that they’re friends and very specifically online friends. Because as someone who finds bonding with people over the internet much easier than irl, and as a result whose best friends all live far away, it’s always lovely to see that kind of friendship represented and embraced

The Barbie movie’s got me digging back into Roland Barthes

#something about the sign and the signifier and removing #and how an image divorced from its original context and placed in a new one can have completely different meanings #a French flag in France has a totally different meaning and narrative than a French flag flying in Algeria #was I think the example he used #and I get that gerwig was pulling Barbie out of the box/ her context and just playing with her the way weird little girls do #to work out their understandings of the real world and building one they prefer #but CAN you divorce Barbie from a corporate capitalist context?? #like I get why you don’t want to include issues of class in a Barbie movie #but feminist statements about patriarchy and it’s creation and its maintenance CANT exclude class #I think it was de Beauvoir who pointed out how patriarchy and private property are entertained #and I know steinhem wrote about how her middle class existence was sold to her as an American ideal but it made her and all her college #friends completely miserable #like they’d won the class lottery #but even still the system was actively oppressing them #but these aren’t really coherent thoughts #I did enjoy the depressed Barbie commercial so much I howled with laughter
