season 4 jesse pinkman makes me wish i had always been dead. we know he has suffered tremendously and has acted out because of it in a variety of usually emotionally explosive ways, so seeing season 4 jesse literally shut down because he can't cope is so jarring and excruciating. nothing brings him any pleasure. everything is just a way to distract himself, to silence his thoughts. he self harms by detaching, he tries to die by living with no concern for his wellbeing. seeing him fucking sitting there in the middle of his now wrecked childhood home (the purchase of which was a little triumphant story beat for him, something significant), surrounded by strangers and loose cash that he doesnt care about having or spending, body pressed up to a thrumming subwoofer so the deafening music and violent vibrations can physically prevent him from forming a coherent thought or feel Anything. it's "show don't tell" at its absolute best: we dont need an outburst, a diatribe, a breakdown to know that jesse is massively traumatized and depressed. no one needs to point out that he shaved his head or ask why he did it. we Know. all too well

lloyd 'survived on one meal per day for years' frontera would absolutely see sharing food as a love language and javier 'lived in the streets for months as a child' asrahan would be fluent in it
i do believe there is a point in their lives where they both heal from the trauma of going through severe food insecurity but neither of them ever quite really forget just how important food can be. and when the other shares their food with them, they appreciate it as the show of affection it was meant to be

here’s the thing. about zolu. puts myhand on your shoulder Here’s the thing. luffy? aromantic. zero interest in romance. zoro? gay. very low interest in romance. has two braincells and they’re both devoted to thinking about swords. they are not dating. it is not romantic. it’s not sexual either because luffy, much like his views on romance, could not give less of a shit about sex. maybe if they both feel up to it at the same time, but that’s rare and when it does happen it’s more of a physicality and, to a lesser extent, affection thing than anything else. occasionally it���s a “hey wouldn’t it be weird/funny/fucked up if we [insert some david cronenberg-type shit]” thing and the other one goes “haha yeah do you wanna try.” but i digress.
however. HOWEVER. they Have A Thing. what that Thing entails is a mystery. luffy is both incredibly straightforward and frustratingly cryptic whenever he’s asked about it and zoro just kinda shrugs. they’re just luffyandzoro and zoroandluffy. the king and his lionheart. drift compatible. partners. captain and first mate. the sailor and the north star. sun and moon. they simply Are. what does that entail? well brother. they hang out

It's very funny to be a blog that dislikes Anakin but loves Palpatine.
Now I obviously recognize Palpatine is an evil toad who commits genocide after genocide and is, generally, just an absolutely awful person. If he were REAL, I'd hate him.
But he's not, and so his unapologetically evil behavior is just SO IMMENSELY ENJOYABLE. I love that he's not some tragic uwu baby, I love how much enjoyment he gets out of ruining people's lives in the most melodramatic way possible, I love that he cackles as he toys with people like he's just playing with his food.
And maybe that's WHY I feel like I can enjoy Palpatine in a way I just... don't enjoy Anakin, or Kylo, or Maul, or even Dooku. Hardly anybody ever tries to uwu Palpatine. MOST people recognize that Palpatine is intended to be a bad person and that he does bad things and because he's not generally considered super attractive, he doesn't have a ton of fangirls rushing to make excuses for his actions so they can feel better about stanning him. Palpatine can just be enjoyed for the evil asshole that he is, I don't have to deal with tons of fans being WEIRD about him all of the time and it's GREAT. Palpatine is an incredible villain, one of the few who is honestly made worse by adding more nuance to him.

i feel bad for everyone saying nolan can’t get a redemption arc or that he’s gonna be some big final antagonist
his redemption arc is a huge part of the plot of the comic guys they can’t not do it. Doesn’t mean anyone needs to like him or anything but yea don’t worry he’s gonna pay in his own blood for his crimes. mark got his proneness for getting his ass beat from his father
