#i have conquered at last

[ask-ozai]

"My way of showing Azula acceptation has always been putting her in charge of military strategies and she turned out alright"

Actually, about that...

Azula is fine. I was exactly like her when I was young and there was nothing wrong with me either. Zuko has manipulated the population into believing she is insane because how else is he going to keep the throne? Zuko is the kind of person that has to sabotage everyone else to feel better about his own incompetence.

#Every single piece of evidence points to Azula being a genius but Zuko convinced everyone she's mad and put her in a madhouse #Could she have conquered Ba Sing Se in a week if she were mad? No #Could she have successfully defeated the Avatar in Ba Sing Se if she were mad? No #Could she have had the strength to put her traitorous team mates in prison if she were mad? No #I didn't choose Azula as the next firelord because of her manicure #Although I must admit she was the only choice but still #The difference between insanity and genius is who tells the history #And Zuko™ is the one telling the history now #ask ozai #Azula #Ozai #Zuko #Atla #avatar the last airbender

Signalis Spoilers///

I think its so telling that the scariest thing in Signalis (to me at least) wasn't the cosmic horror, but the fucking dread of living in an uncaring system

Meat monsters. A god that will devour all life. Entropy. A corruptive force that will devour and eat away at us physically and emotionally.

And the part that pulled me the most was knowing that Ariane and Elster got sent out on a mission they were almost certain to fail, because a dying empire demands some form of glory and subjugation.

You can kill the corrupted replikas. You can avoid them and still finish your objective. But in the end, you and one person you live are still going to die a pointless, painful death. She's going to suffer, and you're going to have to take her last breath for her, and you're going to have to die knowing that there was nothing to be done.

This whole thing was just a system demanding blood.

The horror was just there to drink it.

#signalis #signalis spoilers #idk maybe im just so desensitized to gore #the fact i was more teary over filed reports that no one bothered to read #more than the bodyhorror #like #the bodyhorror plays into it #i dont think any authority was posed to handle something like the King in Yellow #but the system youre in was suffering far before it all happened #i just #fuck #hhhhh #Almost 20 fucking years out in space #a human life sent to its death because we need more planets to conquer #A human-replika that got to fucking fall in love only to have that wrenched from her hands #the way the last notes are just Ariane begging to be killed #the way Ariane asks for Elster to end her suffering #the way she assures you to please kill her #fucking #OUGHH #I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE MAKE GAY ANIMATIONS OF THEM ALL #WE ALL JUST WANT THAT DANCING SCENE #IN A SYSTEM THAT ONLY SEES US ALL AS TOOLS #WE WANT A QUIET MOMENT TO DANCE WITH SOMEONE WE LOVE #AND NOT REALIZE WE WERE DOOMED FROM THE START #FUCKING GOD

Not to toot my own horn but I just walked the whole length of my apartment twice without crutches 💁🏻‍♀️

#considering I’ve been using the wheelchair… this is a big deal for me shdkfjshsjfje #SO HUGE ACTUALLY like I figured part of my issue was relying on the crutches and therefore just always feeling unbalanced #idk what my problem is. I couldn’t use crutches last time either #anyway. taking it slow for now lol but that is a heartening development #still haven’t left my apartment since Monday so I still have some more obstacles to conquer lol

[guideaus]

look at her

#personal #i love every time falin is shown not using magic. shes abt to mace this guy's head in #on an excellent kabru page btw #anyways i get la/bru as a ship and it feels impossible to talk abt kabru w/o laios but its based on his role #this section sums it up well. kabru wants to be the main character but isnt. our guy is the monster weirdo. and kabru hates monsters #kabru relents to laios having more of a chance of conquering the dungeon but also isnt sure abt his goals (monsters vs humanity) #and... idk if its the fucking elves or failing in a dungeon but he is cynical as hell and is prepared like hes scheming in game of thrones #agonizing endlessly even up to the last minute over laios. and post dunmeshi is very happy to be his advisor. elated probably #im looking. im looking

Genuinely need a break from this arc real quick why does One Piece delve so deep into the ethics of war this arc, like holy shit I'm gonna fucking die

#so much emotional shit been happening during the marineford arc im gonna come out of this feeling like a jaded war soldier #seeing coby having a downright full-on panic attack while bodies fall to the ground around him?? isnt this kid like 15-17 #and literally any scene where some shit happens to luffy is absolutely mortifying in nature ever since drum island #one piece sets itself up like ''lol look at these pirate friends getting into hijinks and saving each other and conquering the world!'' #but then shit gets crazy every time #i can no longer in good conscience recommend this without warning people abt how scary it gets sometimes #i feel like the first taste comes during arlong park where we see nami repeatedly stabbing herself #then with us seeing zoro's wound stapled shut and bleeding like a motherfucker as he still tries to fight #because they couldn't get professional medical help even if they probably saw his fucking guts and ribcage #but shit just keeps getting more terrifying every arc #alabasta? civil war. we see the princess of her country screaming her lungs out in vain for her people to stop fighting #sky island? mass genocide. for funsies. by a man so hopped up on delusions and apathy he thinks it's funny #water 7? we see the downfall of ohara and robin trying to Fucking Commit Suicide because she finally found ppl who like her #thriller bark--THRILLER BARK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. #seeing brook's crew sing together one last time as they all progressively drop dead one by one until only one is left #and the utter terror as we see zoro standing surrounded by his own blood in a 20 foot radius around him #impel down we see the horrors of the world government and how they treat their prisoners with layers of hell #and marineford we see a war even worse than that which we saw in alabasta #horrible horrible shit

Honestly tragic that Light went down the path he did in the 2nd half bc in the beginning Tobias would've really liked him. He wholeheartedly agrees that the only way to bring REAL "justice" is by making sure the perpetrator will never be able to do evil again, which will never be achievable through lawful means like incarceration (especially in cases where they're connected to a bigshot who can bail them out) so the only way to truly get rid of evil is, like Light figured, through kiIIing them all

#muse: tobias. #Ironically enough Tobias thinks Light isn't (wasn't) harsh enough in his 'judgements'. HE would've made sure they suffer WAY more #I think the biggest differences between Tobias and Light are that 1) Tobias doesn't view himself as a 'God' or anything of the sort; #though he doesn't hurt innocent people for fun or money like they do; he views himself as not THAT different from his enemies #I mean sure he's disgusted by 99% of them but he's aware he does many things the faint of heart would never be able to stand looking at too #2) Light does everything as if he's not involved. He sets out 'judgements' to people who are far away; through more indirect means #whereas Tobias is much more involved. He PERSONALLY sets time aside to deliver the payback to the people who are in high positions #Most of the time he makes sure their last ever conversation is w him. Sometimes their death is remote (but still horrible; i.e explosions) #other times it's by his hands in which case they Wish they could've died like that ^ instead bc his torture isn't Only physical #3) Light doesn't care who he has to discard; being willing to kiII even his closest allies who would never think of turning on him #whereas Tobias would Never abandon his true allies like that. He knows damn well how hard to get across they are and he treasures them #so he's willing to take heavy losses to save them if need be; and certainly won't ever discard them the way Light would #4) Tobias knows damn well that by doing what he's doing it means he's eventually going to end up dead like his enemies and he's fine w that #meanwhile Light seriously thought he would conquer the world; have nothing happen to him whatsoever; then die a peaceful death #I should write a proper meta on the similarities and differences between Light (+L) and Tobias sometime bc I keep thinking about them

Reading physical copies of The Queen's Thief series for the first time and realizing that the maps in them are inconsistent???

#the only map i'd really seen before was K's map to P in Thick as Thieves #but now looking at the map from the last story of Moira's Pen I'm like. wait. the empire is opposite in this one. #like according to K's map C and K generally move west in TaT but the other map has them moving east #it's not that big a deal to me bc i had to read the entire series twice to conceptualize where anything was #(bc i spent the whole of The Thief not realizing just how important every nation mentioned was. good move mwt you genuinely fooled me.) #but now that i thought i had it down i am once again thrown off #also the map that's referenced in Moira's Pen shows up in the physical copy of TaT? #the beauty of this series is that I NEVER would have guessed what was up in that story even had i seen the map beforehand #anyway all i wanted was to conceptualize where Roa was & now i'm like spiraling. like is K's map incorrect bc its from an imperial lens #which honestly? yeah absolutely (it makes the peninsula look so small) but also how would the mede empire have #conquered so much land with inaccurate resources even if it is for propaganda's sake #nothing in this series is accidental so i'm like *pepe silvia meme* #anyway this is just me trying to put my thoughts somewhere ignore me my tags are a mess #The Queen's Thief #The Queen's Thief spoilers #like not exactly but since everything is spoilers i'm tagging that just in case #Thick as Thieves #Moira's Pen

[eldrichthingy]

Ascended Astarion and Durge actually have such an insane dynamic. Durge is the only reason why Astarion is free - all thanks to their evil plans and devotion to their Father, and they're the same person that helped him ascend. And they're also his first spawn??? Like. Gods.

#what if the only god that heard astarion's prayers was bhaal? what if durge is that answer?? #whatever anyone says but durge has a very different dynamic with asc! astarion #because they're.. practically.. his saviour? and the one that allowed the sacrifice to be made as well? no wonder he says that having one #person that fully trusts him is enough. like THINK for a moment durge is just. gods. and at the same time - he's their sire. #he made the child of bhaal. the weapon created to conquer the realms and butcher the world. to be the last soul alive. HIS SPAWN?? #I swear this is going to kill me one day #it feels so much different with durge. because whatever people think about durge they're much much worse than astarion in a lot of ways #they WERE so much worse and they can continue to be. holy fuck their relationship INDEED feels special #nonsims #delete later #olya's rambles

if the absolute height of queer activism or homophobia you can imagine is a tv show with all-pastel-wearing-pirates/said show's cancellation, i just have nothing to say to you

When she loved me.

#HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAV FICTIONAL TWINS!!!!!! I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY HERE #okay so I started this SEVERAL months ago and their bday gave me the motivation to finish! #while I think this far is my best work I have such an emotional attachment to this one #when I was finishing this up last night I put on blossom from porter Robinson and just. this artwork combined with the song and the twins’ #relationship just BROKE me. #blossom IS a romance song with context but I love interpreting it as just a really strong bond between two people #like these two have such an unreal sibling bond and it breaks my heart. Wendy did everything to keep her sister after death and Abby even #persists after death JUST to be with her sister. it is so sad and so beautiful and it kills me #like how close do you have to be to literally conquer death in a sense? #while all this doesn’t exactly relate to this pieces mood at all I just want to emphasize how much I love these two and their relationship #willow is my favorite character but I think these two have my favorite story and relationship. they are everything to me. #ANYWAYS LMAO #went for a children’s book vibe with this one! #snorlarts #wendy dont starve #abigail dont starve #dst
