#etc etc. She's a mess

katara’s fatal flaw when it comes to politics and also just general communication is that she cannot fathom why anyone would wish to act in a cruel manner and knowingly harm others, whereas sokka’s is that he does not understand how people can be willfully ignorant or even just plain dumb. it’s why sokka is always having to point out to katara that someone is a malicious actor who is taking advantage of her compassion and idealism (jet, hama, aunt wu, etc) because he knows that not everyone has pure, altruistic intentions, but he also doesn’t understand that king kuei isn’t just sheltered, he is also straight up an idiot (or that hahn isn’t just arrogant, he is also incompetent, etc etc) until it’s too late.

i think an interesting part of the whole insane dynamic where riza has orders to shoot roy if he strays from the right path after ishval is that the only time we see her act, it involves flame alchemy. he wasn’t making a miscalculated political decision, he was acting impulsively out of hatred (and wrath 👀) for envy and using flame alchemy to exact as much pain as possible. obviously riza felt a moral obligation to stop him.
but how much of that judgment was specifically triggered by whether or not he fell on the “right” side of the scales of justice versus the fact that he was specifically abusing her legacy once again? was that the first time since ishval she questioned his responsibility with such power, or were there more instances we just don’t see? she did (somewhat disapprovingly) go along with him recruiting a literal child to be a state alchemist. so where does the line he can’t cross fall, between all of riza’s beliefs and roy’s good intentions?
we can say roy learned his lesson and was shocked back into reality enough on the promised day that he wouldn’t forget his better judgement ever again. and i genuinely think that was a huge character moment for him, and it’s extremely telling that the thought of hurting riza in any way brought him back. but as someone with a huge number of important and personally stressful decisions ahead of him, it’s impossibility to say he couldn’t make some major mistake.
and we can also say riza’s guilt and sense of self are so tied to the impact of roy’s actions that her judgments are very clear, that no amount of love could blind her. and i believe she would feel immense further guilt at the implication that she would ever neglect her responsibility because of her personal feelings and vulnerabilities. but i don’t know, especially after the promised day when the story has given us a hopeful future and positive outlook for our heroes, her perspective is bound to change to some degree. maybe not too much, but certainly better than when she had just spent months assigned to wrath, surveilled by pride, and separated from most of the connections she had built since ishval.
so: would riza react the same way in the future, when roy gains enough power to make such damaging mistakes that don’t involve his destructive alchemy at all? what if he contributes to social unrest or civilian violence? what if his trajectory off the right path is so slight at first that eventually she’s a frog in boiling water with no idea how things went so far? how much could she justify to herself as long as it isn’t that obvious? does she realize this about herself? does she fully trust herself with the responsibility he gave her?
i do lean toward believing in riza being a good judge and roy keeping his ass on the right path for her, because that’s what the interaction on the promised day shows us. but it’s interesting to think about as a hypothetical.

visiting the hometown
(want everyone to know this edit came to me in a dream and i changed the lore just to do it)
#in the dream i was like editing it but i was also there? it was weird. it started as a dream about lawson in a zombie apocalypse#ok important tags first so i can write an essay#ts4#ts4 render#ts4 edit#the sims 4#beckett#lawson#blood sports#but yeah if you haven't been here before beckett and lawson never knew each other as kids#if they did it would be a butterfly effect and mess w a bunch of other plot details. so i decided to work around it#also if ur new they've had a friends with benefits thing going on for a long time but lawson is in love with him. beck doesn't know#originally beckett was put in foster care as a baby bc of neglect and was bounced around foster homes for years#he was a troubled child always getting in fights a kleptomaniac undiagnosed autism etc etc foster families tried and just didn't want him#then when he was around 12 a very nice old lady named cora got him and they ended up forming a great bond they loved each other#she was going to adopt him then when beckett was around 15 or 16 his birth mother reentered the picture and wanted him back#it started a really nasty legal battle and cora died. we can't say for sure it was the stress of this fight but beckett certainly thinks so#anyway he did go back with his birth mother and things got really bad for him. he dropped out of school started doing worse crimes and so o#but none of that is what even changed#now LAWSON is also from west virigina like beckett. it's a small town lawson was new he had no friends#he was a very clingy possessive child who cried and threw tantrums so much#he met beckett and the rest is history. beckett didn't really mind how lawson acted he didn't really find him annoying like everyone elsedi#besides he didn't have friends either#lawson has wealthy parents they were welcoming to beckett at first if a little apprehensive. then he stole something from their house#and lawson wasn't allowed to hang out with him anymore. but he still did in secret. they still have no idea that beckett's even still aroun#or just how involved lawson is with him and his. activities 😬 they just think he's their good little college boy#in the original beckett moved to Not Gotham City when his mother got him back but in this version lawson is going to college there#and beckett's been distant from him for a while things are awful for him and lawson says hey. what if you gave the city a try. and he did#so really you could say the events of blood sports are all lawson's fault the end

ok so. one of my mobility challenged cats wants to be the center of attention literally all the time especially when I am cleaning and working and she pitches a fit if I’m walking around the house without holding her under my arm. so today I made her a sling to cart her ass around in. she fucking loves it

So you guys remember how after Hinawa was announced as dead, Flint was immediately tossed into jail after he (very understandably) lashes out in his grief. And then by the time he breaks out of jail (not released by a fellow Tazmillian, breaks out with a nail file), the service is already over and she's buried six feet under the dirt with no proper goodbye from her husband or even a glimpse at her or anything???
That was fucked up

Both the nanovores and the villain who would eventually wield them could be classed as man-made monsters.
I didn’t record the sketch process (nobody deserves to watch that it’s so bad) but I did remember to hit the button during rendering time.

as promised. grimmons drawing based off this post :3c
Tumblr media
+ a little huggins in there. bc i love her.
[id: an ms paint drawing of grif, simmons, and huggins from red vs blue. grif is looking at simmons smugly, and wearing a shirt that reads “i like my men like i like my keyboards”. simmons is looking away, flustered, and gripping the edge of his shirt. his shirt reads “select all squares with cutest girl:”, followed by a grid of orange squares to represent grif. they are both holding hands (however, the hands were not drawn, and were instead covered with text that reads “hand hold dot png”) and blushing. huggins is in the background, floating above grif. she has the outline of a body, and is pointing at a gay flag (posed like the jerma meme) saying “waaaa! gay people real!” end id]
bonus drawing! autism. (i forgor if ive posted this already. if i did then no i didnt <3 lol)
Tumblr media
it got a little fucked up. bc ms paint hates me. but we stay silly!
[id: an ms paint drawing of grif and simmons from red vs blue. grif looks appalled, with a cartoonish sweatdrop on his head, and is pointing at simmons while saying “my boyfriend is wearing a fucking suit to his autism diagnosis appointment.” he is dressed casually, and has two friendship bracelets (one blue with a purple sparkle, from huggins, and one yellow, from kaikaina). the drawing is blurry and pixelated. simmons looks defensive, arms crossed, saying “its a special event!” he is wearing a suit and tie. (also i don’t really like how i drew him...) end id]

Impressive detail level packed into that Emerald PFP. I dunno if she'd want to *advertise* the 5-fingered discount occupation in a groupchat, but maybe Neo supplements their hauls with game tournament prizes. Also morbidly curious how deep Yang's officer ball headcanons go.
ask in reference to this post
Tumblr media
come with me, step into the beautiful world of officer ball OC

Kizuna comphet lesbian is a headcanon that you'll need to chop off my hands if you wanna take it from me
#look i know that this sounds borderline unbelievable when you think of Kizuna at face value but hear me out#has Kizuna ever show genuine attraction towards men?#she flirts and goes around with guys for what they can give her (money. gifts. protection. etc) the story makes that incredibly clear#because she was taught by her mother + the environment she grew up in that it's men who are gonna give her the things she wants#and girls are “competition” of sorts#and I know there's her interactions with Yuki in her FTEs#but Kizuna gets bothered that he's not falling for her advances not because she genuinely likes him#but because she wants to get something out of him. like she does with literally every other guy#when he doesn't fall for it she takes that as an insult because of how normal he is in comparison#to other guy's she's gotten wrapped around her finger. she's mad that he didn't fall for her trap not that he doesn't like her back#the FTEs make that clear#and while there are some other lines from the final FTEs and that extra one you get from giving her a specific item#they read to me more like a mixture of Kizuna trying to leave her old habits and her teasing/messing with Yuki#like i REALLY can't see those as genuine romantic attraction#and that's saying something because as much as i dislike Ayame's final FTEs her talk with Yuki there feels more like a genuine crush/romance#than the ones Kizuna has with him in her final FTEs. you know what I'm saying?#anyways. that's the ramble for today 🥰#dra#danganronpa another#kizuna tomori#hyena ramblings

Paige Duplass is such a badass. "If my sternly worded emails couldn't keep my coworker from being ritually lowered into the maw of capitalism, maybe my new god of sacrifice and grief (which I created with the help of my estranged father and a wet cat of a man on the run from 2 separate governments) will."

(re-ish)watching ncis in 2023 is like came for the murder and crime solving, stayed for the absolutely unhinged tiva plotline
#zanna talks#ncis you beautiful mess of a show#like yeah it's blatantly nationalistic and Very post9/11 and us military propaganda#it likes to be misogynistic and xenophobic and try to play it as a joke#sometimes gibbs will do things that make me feel ill#and also it looooves praising cops and idolizing the maverick mentality and villifying defense lawyers#um point being it's got a lot of flaws and if i hadn't associated it with childhood nostalgia i'm not sure i could have made it far enough#in my rewatch to hit the point where it actually feels worth it past being a good distraction when i feel bad#like the point where you watch tony really start to grow and the plotlines get better and the relationships deepen etc#but man when it hits it hits#wild to watch it as an adult and realize actually the tiva stuff was there all along with effort put in and it wasnt just me making it up#75% of the time theyre just sniping at each other and being annoying coworkers but sometimes they give u a glimpse#not just of how good thye are as a dynamic but just the mcrt in general?#tony burning the letter from jeanne and trying to let go after realizing his team is like his family??#them being the ones to get ziva out of somalia and not her shitty bio dad and sticking up for her when she wants out???#them always believing in each other when they get framed ?? thanksgiving together??#coworkers as family is highly unrealistic in this day and age and maybe just in general but im willing to allow it bc man. they care.#sorry this got. away from me. what was i even talking about#ncis
