#i will never understand this decision

the way marvel made it their mission to kill off every character that we’ve known since day one so there will truly be no overlap between the old and nee mcu whatsoever

MGM in 1939: I hate this Regency silhouette. People want a more Gone with the Wind look.

*Goes with an 1830s silouette*

Me: WTF?!

#Did they not know that the civil war was 30 years later #I just think the 1830s is a weird and awkward period #like I respect gentleman jack for sticking to it and really leaning in to it #I will never understand this decision #P&P40

I feel the need to remind people,

There is nobody Jesus is unable to save

I feel it comes up far too often that I am researching a mental illness or behavior or types of people that people will comment how such people will never be saved, never come to Christ

And I honestly think this is an evil thing to say, let alone publicly, let alone where a record of it is kept for all to see for however long the website is running

Do you have any idea where people who are struggling with all manner of things and looking for help are going to end up? On those exact pages. Do you know where they might look for more information when the article/video/etc waxes on about how rare it is for these people to change or find help? Right in the comments.

How dare the people who post this stuff. To take away the only real hope for the lost. To say ‘this is where everyone can find peace for their soul except for you.’ ‘only those good enough can be Saved’

I have seen people mention being in absolute despair because there’s no help for them even though they want to change. There’s no need to make this even harder. 

No sin, no mental illness, no habit, no personality type, no mistake, no past is going to prevent people who put their faith in Jesus’s death and resurrection from being Saved, so stop trying to turn them away and discourage them.

#Vio's Personal #Now obviously I don’t assume any of my followers have done this #I just find it infuriating #I should do more about it probab;y #I still remember Years ago when I was looking for help about why reading the bible was something I never wanted to do #(I honestly still struggle about it A Lot but at least I better understand why now) #and someone had mentioned that people who don’t want to read the bible probably aren’t saved #utterly soul crushing #It didn’t impact my decisions or any such but #some comment on there for years and years that they forgot about #And just devastating for no reason #And that’s nothing compared to what people say about some mental illnesses #What value was there in saying that? Would it be worth it if even one person was dissuaded from pursuing the Truth from it? #The things you say can impact people. Act like it

These are the updated / new refs I'd post to art fight... If the SITE was loading...

Anyways, have a new style of refsheet I'm playing around with right now. Some have new art, some have old art, some have new art that was rendered over old sketches-- I'm pretty excited about how they turned out! Hopefully I get a chance to upload them tomorrow between bouts of the site freaking out, but if not I'll try to update my stuff within the first week or so.

EDIT: Attack me at ~haxxy

to attempt to categorize aziraphale & crowley's actions into the simple dichotomies of 'correct' and 'wrong' or 'good' and 'bad' is to employ the exact same fallacy that the show warns of. throughout season two we see aziraphale struggle with morals and their ambiguity, no matter crowley's assertion (and demonstration) that there is no true 'good', no true 'evil'- that the lines are not only blurred but frankly non-existent- aziraphale can't move past the principles he was raised on. good actions are good (inherent to angels, inherent to heaven), evil actions are evil (inherent to demons, inherent to hell). aziraphale's decision to try to 'fix' heaven is the perfect representation of the reality of the universe. he believes it to be a simply good decision, something angels do and heaven is all about (he'll get heaven back to normal! back to being good!) but the reality of his decision is so much murkier than that. it isn't that aziraphale did something bad or evil, nor is it that he did something correct or good, he did something that, like many things in the universe, embodies both.

#i haven't done meta in a year guys i am so sad and rusty #i just mean that #you can't define the show that seeks to reject the good/evil fallacy by employing that fallacy to denote their actions #i mean absolutely aziraphale thinks he is being good. he made that choice in the faith that it was a good one. something inherent to him #as an angel #but that decision was never so clear cut. there was no right or wrong within it. he was given a choice and he chose it #it's not going to achieve what he thinks it will. it isn't the path to his happiness #and i definitely think crowley is closer to that path in terms of understanding the reality of heaven and hell- good vs evil #but neither are simply right or wrong #neither is a simply good or simply bad option #the whole point is an 'us' #a middle ground #an understanding that choices and actions are not good or bad or wrong or right. they're just choices. they're inherently made with a bit #of both #good omens #good omens s2 #good omens season two #good omens spoilers #rambling #that tag hasn't been used in sooo long #good omens meta #good omens rambling

i don't know why, but in the sparse five hours of sleep i got last night, my brain decided to plague me with dreams of lilia taking care of an elderly silver, up until the final moments of his life. i could hear silver's thoughts the whole time, and he was so absolutely inundated with shame and guilt it almost seemed like he was suffocating. he kept thinking over and over and over again that this all should've been the other way around. he should've been the one looking after his father in the twilight of his life. he should've been his aging father's rock, his safe place to land, his stalwart defender against a world so unbelievably cruel to its most vulnerable denizens. again and again his heart cried out in vain, it should've been the other way around.

as a child he had once wished - prayed, even, to the same force now threatening to reclaim his spirit back into its unconscious designs - for his father to live a long and prosperous life, and it was as though that very wish had backfired on him in a way he never could have possibly imagined

#twst silver #lilia vanrouge #twst spoilers #twst #mumbles #txt #i hate it here #i litearlly woke up crying you gusy dont unerstand #he was so ashamed of himself but not once in my dream was lilia anything less than happy to take care of him #i feel like part of the reason lilia is trying to run away is because like so many of our elderly and our disabled #he didn't want his loved ones to worry about him and “waste” their time taking care of him #so he thought the best decision for everyone would be if he just went off to go die alone #i have no idea if twst would actually touch on something like that but i do think you could interepret his departure that way #anyways if any of you have caretakers or aides or just are disabled in anyway #i want you to know you are not and have never been and never will be a burden on anyone or anything #and that i love you so so much #im getting so emotional over a dream fkjgh but i want silver to understand that good parents dont have kids expecting that #their children will someday “pay them back” for everythinng they did for them growing up!! u don't owe ur parents jack shit!! #silver you just existing as you are is enough for your father!!!

I initially found it strange that we Lucy Gray doesn’t seem too affected by what happened in the games, she says through music that she’s not going to let the capitol take anything from her and she’s not going to let the games change her or break her. Lucy Gray is a survivor, Because of this you could say that she’s accepted that she did what she had to to survive and she tried to do the least harm as she possibly could. However I find it hard to believe she never got angry or upset about what they put her and the others through, that she never thought about her friend jessup and the other tributes that she got to know, who died horrible deaths.

But then I realised WHY we don’t get to see her feel anything about the games and it’s victims. It’s because we only see the story through Coryo’s POV and he lacks the capacity for empathy. It’s that inability to empathise with people that stops us from witnessing Lucy Gray’s trauma and grief. He doesn’t think about what she went through, he never asks her about how she feels about it or even about how she’s feeling in general. Lucy Gray never confides in him or brings up the games herself because (perhaps unconsciously) she knows he won’t understand or truly empathise and therefore, he wouldn’t be the person she’d choose talk to about how she’s feeling.

We don’t see her trauma because snow never cared about her trauma, he only focuses on how they fell in love during the games, not the horrors of it or what the girl he believes he loves had to go through, despite having a small taste himself of what it would have been like for Lucy during the games despite having a front row seat when he went into the arena and had to kill a person to get out alive, but he lacks the capacity to empathise. Despite his front row seat to Lucy Gray’s trauma as well as the injustices, and poor quality of life that she faces in district 12.

#lucy gray baird #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #coriolanus snow #the hunger games #their relationship was doomed from the start because of his inability to feel empathy or understand their differences #he’d never be able to understand why she sees their world differently and respect her difference of opinions or their different in decisions #no matter if he tries to fight his narcissistic tendacies and his lack of empathy those traits still come through and influence #his relationship with lucy #theres a lot i can say about the power imbalance that shaped their relationship from the start and how he had ownership over her and how he #never stopped feeling ownership over her and how his natural lack of empathy shapes their relationship despite his apparent love for her #but that’s a whole other post #i might make a post analysing their relationship and my interperation of it bc their relationship is more complex than just a lovestory

People who don’t want to go / continue to go to college because you’re looking out for your mental health: YOU ARE VALID.

Honestly I hate it when parents force their kids to go to college without even considering how their kids feel. What if they don’t feel like going at all? What if they just don’t have interest, huh? Why can’t you just let them choose to not attend college? WE HAVE A CHOICE.

WE HAVE THE CHOICE TO NOT DO COLLEGE IF WE DON’T WANT TO.

#my mom has been forcing me to go to college for a few years now and I keep telling her I DONT HAVE REAL INTEREST IN GOING. #but she just won’t understand #there are classes that im hardly interested in #and honestly? I’d rather earn money than be pressured by deadlines and be graded on for my skills #she says she’s not doing it for herself but for me #when im not even ASKING to go. I never asked to go at ALL #I have the choice. I have the decision. #at least I have a job

“i don't think luke is presenting an argument either way. because i think luke also, of any jedi in the galaxy, understands what it would be like to be with the person you care about most -- to be with your father figure”

#dinluke #filoni gets it - he gets that luke wanted to present grogu w a choice #a modern jedi who wouldnt make the decision for him like his predecessors would #luke knows what its like to lose his uncle and aunt his master and his father #hed never want grogu to lose his dad #or make that choice for him #luke is such a good egg #i just have the big sad thinking that luke was only a cameo bc although he was a good mentor he wasnt destined to be grogus master #thats the vibe i get #so it gets me thinking they wont bring him back #but god i hope im wrong #like he was the perfect jedi for grogu to learn that lesson from and the perfect person to show him kindness and understanding and compassio #compassion #at that point in grogus young life #and thats all it will be #but heres hoping im wrong 🙃 #i do feel like s3 will be all abt mandalore tho and luke wont be in it #maybe s4 grogu will come back around to accepting both his jedi abd mandalorian halves #but not before that #but anyway.. just slowly breaking it to myself not to expect luke so im not heartbroken lmao #tagging dinluke because cmon theyre his dads #star wars

Something about this interaction between Harry & Janeway - specifically Janeway but it's notable that Harry's the one listening because I think, say, Chakotay or B'Elanna might push back against the idolization of this 'it was different back in those days' way of thinking.

#Get the Tranq she's 'Good Old Boys'-ing! #never beating the Starfleet stooge accusations #which I think should have been brought up more between her and Chakotay #instead of just making Chakotay like Starfleet again so they can be together #the Tuvok/Chakotay/Janeway command trio should have been like #Janeway: I love Starfleet in an uncomplicated way and though it's painful sometimes I believe following code is the only way to proceed #Tuvok: I agree with the captain and this makes her believe in her decisions more - though I would attempt to obey her commands even if they #weren't regulation. #<- Janeway doesn't want to examine this #Chakotay: I hate Starfleet because of very valid reasons and I don't think following orders and codes from superiors is the best thing #in every situation. I want everyone here to examine their biases which cannot necessarily be done if biases are written into the #codes. We aren't in Starfleet space. We might have to adapt. #but it's nowhere near that nuanced bc you know. Starfleet Good. Starfleet Good. Starfleet Good. Maquis Bad. Maquis Bad. Maquis Bad. #Or you know: 'Maquis doing this the WROOONG way...violence isn't the answer :(' maybe violence is the answer sometimes. #when it's the only language the people in power understand. #maybe 'let's talk about this' is an insidious military tactic sometimes actually #Also Harry immediately going from 'They falsified logs?' to 'I always wondered it'd be like back then...~' #He and Janeway................Him and Janeway are!!! AGH #People think Harry's way too timid. They think this because he's asian and an ensign so they make him timid & obedient #But he's very willing to break or bend the rules - he's willing to fight he likes action and adventure and he's very similar to Janeway #where they'll both die and go to hell and come back just to save their crew - their friends - their family

Okay

I somehow understand the decision Williams made but I also don’t understand it

They are complaining that Logan isn’t confident in his care and they are like oh Alex destroyed his car let’s give him Logan’s car

I know they need points but I’m still disappointed

I just needed a place to rant a bit

What’s your opinion on this topic?

#logan sargeant #f1 #formula one #alex albon #alexander albon #williams racing #a decision I will never understand #kinda made #disappointed #would have to wake up at 5 am to watch the race #not gonna do it know

OKAY ONE LAST POST ABT THE FINALE. aka: how we almost got petrigrof homura/madoka level timeline fuckery

i had a huge revelation while coping. the final bus stop scene is REALLY important, i have a feeling it was a little more than a visual parallel. golbetty was basically communicating with simon the best she could by hijacking his mind and putting him in situations- the whole bit with casper and nova was her heavyhanded way of explaining to him what shes been thinking about regarding their past . not in a breakup way, not in a "were not good for each other" way, she doesnt regret it. its never been about blaming simon, he was only ever a bystander. shes just telling him how she feels, what would need to change. he realizes this and understands! she takes him to the bus stop and we all know how this goes. he passes the "test" and meets her on equal footing, shes so so happy. and she is SO ready to drag him onto the bus before he stops her. the bus stop is an ultimatum. if he follows her, they potentially both die in the mushroom war. he isnt there to take care of marcy and ooo gets overrun by vampires. every other horrific alternate universe without a simon in ooo could come to fruition if they never pursue the enchiridion. but they could start all over here, with a healthier beginning. they could both be so so happy. betty offers him the chance to go back and fix their mistakes, to study petroglyphs together. but there are no do-overs. not unless youre a god of chaos merged with a woman with a penchant for disrupting time to be with your fiance, that is! i believe this was more than a metaphor, she was 100% ready to pull some timeline bullshit to get a new begining. but this time she lets simon decide if he wants this- a chance he didnt get when she jumped through that time portal so long ago. simon makes his choice: this isnt how it happened. he has people that care for him back in ooo, hes okay with where his life has lead him. he has marcy and finn and everyone else- he doesnt want a do-over. now that hes finally seen betty again hes ready to go back and finally live the life she gave him. shes okay with this. its bittesweet but her wish contract is fulfilled, simons safe now, and she can move on. he chooses to continue his life as it is, and so she chooses to continue hers, wherever her reincarnation leads her, without him for once.

TLDR; the bus stop and the petroglyphs were an offer from betty to pull some timeline bullshit and give them a happy beginning. one last crazy chance to fix EVERYTHING. but its time to end the cycle. its been doomed since the start, and they wouldnt have it any other way.

#schizobabble #fionna and cake #fionna and cake spoilers #f&c spoilers #petrigrof #simon petrikov #betty grof #this is 99% copium #but like. i was so fucked up over the idea that what we got was the only option. she leaves him. thats it. #this interpretation feels way better like they both actually made their decisions for a reason #like there is no way that betty- crazy even without magic i love her for it- would just move on that easily #and simon! his only tether to sanity had been betty! shes the only thought that could offer him comfort in his depression! #giving them another option they didnt take makes their motivation and last meeting make more sense. to me. #pleasee understand that this is literally just me being in denial that the canon ending could ever do them bad. #i need this to make sense to me and be satisfying in the most canon compliant interpretation possible. or ill never recover

[radiashen]

to me vashwood is not even about betrayal vashwood is about knowing someone so well you can communicate without needing words. its about loving someone enough you let them change you fundamentally as a person. its about wanting and knowing its reciprocated and knowing its all doomed from the start. and to still want it anyway

#while i enjoy the betrayal vashwood interpretation its like. there is so much to say about wolfwood's loyalty first #because this guy. this guy picks his choice one at a time. he picks a side at a moment's notice #his plan is to let the Situations get to him first. then he will decide where he go from there #and sometimes his decisions arent the best (clutches trimax vol 10) but he never strikes me as someone with undying loyalty #in the end he chooses to stick with vash because vash's views aligns with what he REALLY wants #to me there was never betrayal between them. to me theyre about wolfwood finding the courage to pursue what he really wants #and about vash understanding that sometimes both the options are horrible. and that youve got to pick anyway #anyway so many thoughts. all starting to sound incomprehensible but my god. they make me feel ill #i want to share a tomorrow with him... #trigun

The Tibet story makes me want to bite and scream

Like it's full of love, it is a love story, but not just the obvious "Tintin loves Chang so much he risks his life" but more of "Haddock loves Tintin so much he doesn't abandon him"

Like even for Tintin alright? Like he risks his life for Chang and believes he's alive but that's not new, that's Tintin's core as a character

BUT the moment Haddock is ready to sacrifice himself for Tintin, he is "WE BOTH DIE OR BOTH LIVE"

LIKE LIKE HADDOCK GIVES TINTIN A REASON TO LIVE INSTEAD OF RISKING HIS LIFE?! LIKE LIKE

And you can feel how huge the whole adventure was for him as things change after Tibet and Tintin wants to stay at home with his family and and I am emotional 😭

#copying pasting a huge message i sent to a mutual because i will never word it better #like it is HUGE how tintin finds his reason for finally WANTING TO LIVE #and this decision follows him till the end #like i can't understand people who don't like the later books as much #the last books ARE tintin's pinnacle of character growth #tintin in tibet is a love story #tintin #the adventures of tintin #haddotin
