#he does not learn her lesson

[cotton-candy-jester]

Hanabi : *leaves Eden's cabin for a few days without letting them know because he finds angry Eden hot*

Eden : *literally hunts her down, drags her back to the cabin and locks him in the cage until they can trust him again*

Hanabi :

#he does not learn her lesson #she often forgets her actions have consequences #when she sees them stomping around town she's like “lmao oopsie” #only to freak out when they find her and yell at him #matty rambles #dol stuff #eden the hunter #dol pc #dol eden #degrees of lewdity eden #degrees of lewdity

Huntlow situationship gives me such intense brain termites you don't get it

#no i dont think its because Hunter needs time to heal first #i think if it was up to Hunter they would plunge into a committed romantic relationship immediately after the events of the finale #he would propose to her in like. 3 months probably #i know that sounds intense but i think this is what ''i literally died and came back to life'' mania does to a guy #he is so carpe diem minded hes become a little insane. he wants everything #no more waiting around. no more hesitating. he cant afford to do that anymore #would it have been the wise decision to enter a romantic relationship immediately #who's to say. but Hunter would have done it without thinking about it #its Willow that makes the decision to slow down and wait a while before they make any committments theyre not ready for #i dont think she's entirely learned her lesson about letting herself be emotionally reliant every once in a while #shes made progress but the events of ftf were such heat of the moment responses #once things are semi-stable she still needs to adapt to acknowledging that her feelings for Hunter are like. serious. and scarily intense #so like. yea Willow is slamming her pedals on the breaks for both their sakes. shes thinking about how this would effect Hunter too #but also. she scawwed. #when Willow tells him she wants to talk and she's like ''i think we should just be friends'' oh the face he makes is DEVASTATED #he didnt expect it was going in this direction at all. but like. once Willow explains how this is the most reasonable decision for now #he DOES agree. he understands what shes saying and he agrees that it's the best decision to take a breather before they jump into a romance #anyway even when theyre not officially dating the flirting continues insistently. they are very obsessed with each other and cant stop #Willow keeps trying to insist to herself that its just messing around. nothing serious. they find each other hot. its fine to kiss a little #but Hunter makes it very hard when he looks at her with big brown labrador eyes. looks at her like shes the entire world #i think if it was up to Willow they would have been trapped in that uncertain limbo forever. shes too scared to take the plunge #even if she wants to. she badly wants to #but Hunter just wont let that happen. every so often he says ''im ready whenever you are'' #he makes his intentions very known. he is not the shy boy from Camila's house anymore #Willow cant just playfully flirt with him without worrying that hes gonna reciprocate. he talks now. he expresses himself #shes a little afraid of that. but she adores it too. he makes her feel safe but also he wont let her stay in this comfort zone #hes giving her the push she needs to pursue this relationship. gives her to push to feel like she can go after what she wants #because god knows HE knows what he wants #they make me so insane

tag the oc that's most likely to get stuck in a time loop and what kind of time loop it would be

#I feel like Kyana has time loop potential but idk what the exact loop would be #maybe the loop is the entirety of DAO and she keeps getting companions killed/locked into their Bad Endings #and the loop only stops when she manages to get them all to survive the Blight #something something she needs to learn to be a good leader and care about others #unsuccessful loops reset via the archdemon killing her (even if the dark ritual was performed) #Selene gets the classic 'your love interest keeps dying and you try to stop it' time loop #to escape the loop she must Let It Happen (and then it turns out it's fine and everyone survives) #Secret gives me the vibe of someone who knows they're in a time loop but has given up on trying to solve it #she's just going through it. trying everything. keeping herself entertained. trying to stay sane #sometimes she clues Varric in on the looping. sometimes she doesn't #actually maybe her time loop rule is that someone else has to save her from it. nothing she does by herself will work #idk what the exact reset point would be #I'm thinking the Arishok fight maybe. or Meredith #I don't think it would go as far as the Fade #also. after writing Homecoming I did have the thought of a time loop story #with Dorian as the one being trapped and trying to prevent Neil from dying/becoming possessed #maybe in his case he's not really trapped. he can stop anytime he wants but he keeps choosing to go back #the reset point is something Solas-related maybe #herearedragons meta #oc: kyana amell #oc: watcher selene #oc: secret hawke #oc: neilar lavellan #oh. actually. Aqun would be pretty fun to put in a time loop #that runs over some part of DAI and/or Trespasser #Adina is his time loop buddy (the person he usually tells about the loop because she immediately believes him) #idk what his reset/escape condition would be though #maybe in his case it's something purely mechanical #like there's no lesson to be learned it's just a magical anomaly he's trapped on #and on a meta level the 'lesson' is accepting that not everything has a Purpose or a Reason

it’s just such a GOOD compelling choice that louis was the one to beg for claudia to be turned. it’s him who can’t accept her death, who clings to his humanity by taking hers away, who sees her as his salvation. and then there’s lestat who knows she’s too young, that louis is naive, that claudia will come to resent not having had a choice. and yet, he walks into it, and that’s the perfect tragedy. what did you think was gonna happen, his eyes say when claudia returns with charlie, dead. she will never grow up, and we did that to her. you don’t get this kind of life without paying a price for it

#it's the came back wrong grief story it's the perfect tragedy. you can keep her but she will never be a human child again #and it's the fact that he does it anyway. that she's history repeating for him but that louis hasn't learned the same lesson yet #it's not to prove a point i don't think. it's walking into a tragedy you know will come because at least you tried #interview with the vampire #m

something something reckless dangerous decisions something something confronting mortality

#critical role #cr spoilers #ashton greymoore #laudna #laudmoore #my art #critter role #i drew this right after ep77 but the parallels i saw between them got more confirmed for me in 78 #i spent the ep trying to figure out why laudna was so upset (betrayed was such a strong word for something that had little to do with her) #(like yeah the shard was important but like it wasn't hers it wasn't imogen's it was his journey not theirs. i get being upset but THAT?) #''why didn't they learn my lesson'' was very telling to me and all but confirmed my theory that she saw herself in him #she made a choice to kill bor'dor in a way that risked waking up dalilah but did it anyway because she needed it; a sense of control #the same day she learned that dalilah had become extremely strong and could not die without /her/ dying she watches #ashton make a choice that they knew risked everything but did it anyway for a sense of control. and he dies. #he dies right after she realizes she may have to die to protect her loved ones but it will HURT #and it does hurt; fearne gets hurt they all get hurt #''why did they break her rock?'' #ANYWAY it's like i said in another post: 'they are a child' she says as she cuddles a toy and asks an older woman to hold her #also so sorry i'm shit at effects

OH MY GOOOOOOD!!! THE TAIL WAAAAAAAGS!?!!!! THATS ADORABLE!!!

I really love how Donnie and Leo are comfortable being hugged by Gus! Leo seems genuinely happy to be receiving affection and, even with his injured shell, Donnie doesn't pull away from the contact! Plus Donnie was leaning on Gus!

I get the sense that the two of them don't really receive much physical affection from anyone but each other but I'm so happy that Gus is there and just showering them with it.

Is Gus the only staff member that the boys are close with? They obviously don't share information with Gus but other than that, how close are they with him? I'm just so curious about this additional lore about their home lives!

also I think they deserve more cuddles and it warms my heart to see Gus just hugging them with abandon <3

heck yeah tail wags <3 where do you think the gemini learned it from? ;3c

and there are a few other staff members that the gemini are relatively close with, which i've touched on in the past! gus is probably who they're closest with, though, and the only one they get any physical affection from. he's known them since they were first adopted by big mama, and his main 'job' at the hotel has long been to keep an eye on them and keep them safe when they're in the hotel. he has the 'late shift' and spends nights in a big dog bed out in the hallway of the gemini's floor, guarding their rooms while they sleep, just in case anything happens or they need him.

i would say they're very close with gus! he's like a 'beloved family dog' and 'protective dopey uncle' combo and did a lot of caretaking when they were little-- the only constant amongst the ever-revolving cast of nannies, aside from their mother's occasional appearances.

that being said, there's a reason gus shares the color of another gemini character rather than having his own. despite everything, the twins are well aware of where gus's loyalty lies at the end of the day, and who he answers to. and as lovely as their relationship is, it's not them.

#file under “lessons learned the hard way” #gus isnt a bad dude hes just dumb and loyal #he would never want to hurt the gemini. but he does have blind faith in big mama's commands and doesnt question her motives. #he loves the gems to pieces tho #when they were babies hed take them trick or treating around the hotel <3 and the twins would be like :D TRICK OR TREAT! #to absolutely unPREPARED guests just minding their business and who definitely did not have halloween candy on hand #and theyd be like uhhh.... #and gus would be standing behind the little gemini twins like Ò _ Ó #and theyd be like U H H HH H H H H H and figure something out #the gemini got a lot of cash and jewlery and watches when they went trick or treating #gemini au #gemini au asks #gemini asks #asks #anon

everytime i watch secrets of the scroll i want to grab shifu by the shoulders and shake him like a fucking maraca

#DOES HE EVER LEARN HIS LESSON #shifu: i have made the perfect student #me: you fucked up a perfectly good daughter is what you did. look at her. she's got daddy issues #the bits in the series that feature tigress' reaction to people with openly loving parents kill me #viper @ sots 'oh father I'm going to make you proud' 'i have always been proud of you' #SHIFU WHEN I GET YOU SHIFU WHEN I GET YOU #kfp #GOD THIS APPLIES TO TAI LUNG TOO #i love shifu but like. rewatching tai lung's fight and all the heartache that comes with it #the heartache that is STILL THERE W TIGRESS #sometimes while watching the series i wonder how he sees her #as his daughter? his student? or his chance at redemption for what he did to tai lung? #either way. pain #agony even #tacking on an edit to this bc i don't think she's fundamentally 'bad' bc of shifu's bad parenting #i love tigress #its just the angst surrounding her relationship with shifu HURTS

hm. i do not like chilshi 🤔

#sylph.txt #everyone likes to joke abt how much of an epic divorce man chilchuck is #but i dont think he ever even refers to her as his ex-wife. i could b wrong bc it's been a while since i read it tho #idk a lot of his arc is him learning to b more open w others (which is essentially what ended his relationship) #and u can see how much he's grown in the chapter where senshi goes into his past #to me it would b a lot sweeter for him to take on these lessons and go back to her and make things work #it's been 4 years but he's remained loyal to her depite their issues. idk to me it rlly does feel like he still loves her he's just a fool #it's made p clear that he's a coward and that he's quick to run away so actually committing to her would b a nice way to wrap things up #we don't get to see much of his wife so i get y ppl r quick to put him w the only other man in the party #but like senshi knows abt his wife too like i do not think he's gnna b making any moves here bc he has morals lmao #(*only other older man in the party. laios doesn't qualify for old man yaoi to most chilshi likers) #(even tho chilchuck isn't old either but shh they don't care abt that) #when it comes to senshi the changeling chapter def helped him w understanding how old the rest of the party is #but he clearly still views them as significantly younger than him #i don't think he views chil as a child anymore but for the majority of their time together he did #and so going from that to in a relationship is uhh rlly weird to me! #senshi has always taken a sort of parental role upon himself #w him romance is no where as interesting as the platonic bonds he has w the rest of the party #similar to how romance is entirely unimportant to izutsumi in the succubus chapter #idk i def don't hate the pairing and there r some takes on it that i find funny #but for me i just don't see anything between them i think ppl just want an m/m ship to play with #that ao3 gap is only gnna get bigger lmao

so twelve says “i let clara oswald get inside my head. trust me, she doesn’t leave.” and then HE FORGETS HER??????? sick and twisted

#what’s even more insane is that he does remember her in the end #so in the long run he was right to say she doesn’t leave #because she did for a bit #but he still remembered the lessons he learned with and from her #ill say it again #sick and twisted #shut up carley #twelveclara #whouffaldi #otp: i had a duty of care #doctor who

I went looking and couldn't find any record of me ever actually posting this on tumblr, oops, but a couple years back I wrote this thread on twitter about how Emmeryn's sacrifice absolutely is not supposed to teach Chrom (or Robin, for that matter) that "sacrifice is necessary" or anything like that and mmmm for reasons I am getting Upset about it again so asdfghjkl I'll actually share the Rant with my tumblr followers this time.

#i'm sorry i'm sorry it's just then whenever i see anyone say that chrom didn't “learn his lesson” about sacrifice from emmeryn i freak out #it's such a common take too??? well okay idk if it's “common” or if i just keep running into a niche take but either way i've seen it a lot #i could also get into (i think i have before at some point) that when robin says “what is one life when weighed against millions?” it's... #it's actually a misquote of emmeryn's “you each have but one life and i do not wish it weighed against mine.” #and despite sounding similar it actually has a directly opposite meaning #emmeryn's saying her life is not more important than anyone else's but robin's saying that their life is less important than everyone else' #also robin does NOT in fact believe in sacrificing for the greater good. look at their supports with virion. and walhart too actually #when chrom tells aversa that one person's life means nothing in the shadow of millions he's basically parroting robin #except neither he nor robin believe that. that's what they say when they feel powerless. like when emmeryn was on that cliff #(also the game literally does call out the hypocrisy? aversa points out he didn't feel that way when his sister was on the line... #like... you're supposed to notice...) #anyway sorry for vagueblogging but do note that i've had this take for 2 years (and well... longer but it took me a while to write it out) #and dang it i have a certain blog BLOCKED but sometimes i go to my mutuals blogs directly and for some reason tumblr still shows me reblogs #anyway normally i would keep my mouth shut it's just that i already had this one ready to go from 2 years ago asdfghjkl

Suzanna Collins never fucking misses. TBOSAS is fantastic but primarily the way she shows an origin story for a villain, making him sympathetic without ever forgiving him. Snow is a product of his circumstances, but he also continues to be awful and continuously makes the choices that make him a bad person. Choice after choice he chooses wrong. He knows he’s making the selfish choice and does it anyway. He didn’t have to be like that - his cousin Tigris turned out completely different because of her choices. Snow is a guy who could’ve been good and choose to be bad, who could have chosen to be a little more selfless and improved so many people’s lives - but he kept choosing to be selfish.

#tbosas #don’t even get me fucking started on how he tries to be selfless but not wholeheartedly and he learns the wrong lesson from that #he does the work for him and clemensia and is ok with her taking partial credit. then Gaul turns that kindness into monstrosity.

bones episode in which brennan has to learn a lesson about class consciousness after it becomes clear exactly how wealthy she is, and she's just completely not getting it meanwhile booth is trying to re-learn how to do his own plumbing because he can't afford the 800-dollar bill and wendall is losing his scholarship because they ran out of funding . and brennan is like oh well here's your plumbing for dummies book you can pay me back later it was six bucks and when wendall asks her (a woman who just got another million dollar check for her books) if there's any other funding, anywhere, she's like oh i'll be so sorry to see you go but there's nothing i can do. girl i love you but christe alive

#like obviously she does learn her lesson in the end #but it takes everybody else figuring out how to swing the cost of the scholarship for it to click for her #like hodgins is richman but it's not really liquid. he's a man from a rich family that is capable of and willing to support him #bones #q

I started reading EragonxRed QueenxFrom Blood and Ashx--oh, shit sorry.... 4th Wing today, because everyone in my reading group said I had to, and... I'm 7% of the way through and I'm already so tired. Did no one edit this book? Did no one... read this book out loud?

Me currently finishing chapter 1 and going through the 5 stages of grief because I know this whole experience is going to RUIN my reading for 2024.

Anyway, I'm writing a whole ass review that is pretty much line by line my thoughts XD If I make a google doc of it I'll let people read it. Might be more entertain than the book. 🤷🏼‍♀️ plus I'll only put like 0.1%-1/4 of it on Goodreads so think about what you might miss out on (me being upset and cranky and rutheless (((: ) Updating that doc might actually help me get through reading it faster.

#about me #fourth wing #who wants to join me on this quest??? #cause god damn if it does not feel like a fucking chore already #maybe I should just listen to the audiobook. It would probably go faster #my reading #my tbr for 2024 is exactly 12 books long #and unfortunately this and iron wing or whatever the second one is called are on there #i have never been afriad to be an anti #and I aint starting now #I dont care how dope your YA cardboard cutout male love interest is #I will rip his jugular out with my teeth if he's boring as fuck #and I will tear your “I'm so frail and weak and tiny with curves cause what else makes me a woman” MC apart #I will clean my teeth with her bones #You would think I would have learned my lesson about reading “books booktok is raving about” but no I have not #and I'm about to learn it again #like a dog that keeps pulling on the leash #(*shut up lily*) #(*lily reads fourth wing*) #new tag to follow if you are interested

Jian is an insufferable brat. unfortunately i love him dearly and want desperately for him to find a happy life. even more unfortunately everyone in the world wants him very dead and its not even for the insufferable brat thing!

#Universe Ends Posts #the art of prophecy #the war arts saga #i... truly it is impressive how closely my journey about jian mirrored taishi's #at the end was she was like 'oh he actually grew up a bit'- i was EMOTIONAL #he DID grow up a bit! he learned some lessons! he's gonna become such a great man some day! #and also he is SO annoying and i Love Him Deeply #also shout out to this book for having such a toxic yuri dynamic in it #Sali and Qisama.... there is NO way this works out well for you two but bless your gay lil hearts i hope it does #ALSO ALSO- so absolutely delighted at how many Grizzled Older Legendary Mentor tropes that usually male roles fill #that were instead given whole heartedly to Taishi #including the string of lovers who are varying levels of still-in-love-with/attracted to her #iconic. no one is doing it like her. tough old bitch refuses to die a humiliating death #genuinely there's so many good fuckin characters in this book #and somehow i am invested in Each One i want Xinde and Meehae and Pahm to have satisfying arcs!!! #gonna be Thinking About Them a lot for the next few days
