#it probably does suck for her though

[wyrmsweven]

the thing about hotd is that it's very smart of them to instead make it a clash between rhaenyra and alicent because absolutely no one would have actually seen aegon II the dogshit and actually wanted him so they had to actually conscript olivia cooke to do some intense love/hate lesbianism pining 600k hurt no comfort for the show to actually sell

#hotd #olivia cooke #alicent hightower #rhaenicent #hotd alicent #this is just my hot take by the way #reading fire and blood...georg tries so hard to make the greens likeable and entirely fails #I was fully on rhaenyra's side #The only qualifications for Aegon II is that he's a man #They both suck at ruling and politics though #they also probably included alicent because she's the only one with a decent head for politics other than her dad and he sucks #alicent #helaena and probably daeron are the only likeable greens #and daeron doesn't even exist. it's very likely they'll write him out because he does very little overall #he just fumbles about in the reach and then dies #I don't know why people are so insistent on him being there #tessarion vs seasmoke is not very important and you can just focus on seasmoke v vermithor.

Me when I think my dad is cool and admirable

#the previous earl lost the game lol #like i think if ciel's dad came back from the dead instead of ciel prime that ciel would have the same im the earl reaction #i don't have a reading of this narrative at all that he's trying to be his dad or wants sebastian to be his dad bc number one i think... #...vincent only looks like sebastian bc that's yana's art style and number two it also gets on my nerves the really fandom-y brain to... #...assign found family into actual nuclear family roles. when ciel's whole house now is made up of relationships that are really only... #...defined by how much they all love each other. it's the opposite of what his life was like before where he was stuck in like. an older... #...brother does this and marries this and the watchdog does this and rich people are expected to be like this and a family is a nuclear... #...kind of family unit and that's honestly what caused madam red and ciel and ciel prime a lot of their problems pre fire #now instead the people in ciel's house care about their roles as maid and gardener and chef etc only insofar as playing that role is a... #...way to have freedom for them and it's a way to do things for ciel only bc they love him. not that vincent and rachel completely sucked... #...and didn't love their kids but it was the opposite of ciel's situation now and uh i don't think he wants it back or to recreate it #i think he sees his parents and the midfords as sheep just like of the rest of the rich people he complains about #it's a category 10 albert moriarty situation #he was raised in it so he understands just how destructive these expectations are madam red had the exact problems with the expectation... #...she should get married and have kids when i don't think she particularly wanted that to the point she had to convince herself she did... #...even though it felt unnatural to her and i think that's why she was so attached to the idea of vincent but anyway comphet madam red... #...different post i have already made somewhere probably #it's the same deal for ciel i think he thinks the way the rich people govern their lives is stupid and sebastian has both spoiled him and... #...made him feel like he's above all that and honestly that mindset genuinely informs a lot of this arc and the sheep motif #kuroshitsuji #my kuro posts #ciel

oh yeah. the reason why i decided to reread tbhk (and thus it was able to hit me like a truck this time around) was actually not bc of mitsukou going canon but actually bc i maybe accidentally started a tbhk book club w my kids at work and wanted to check the contents of it justttt in case before i put the books in their hands

#tl;dr i have this one 4th grade boy who's a total weeb and knows that i'm the only one in this town who's more into japanese media than him #so he pesters me abt it every time he sees me. and the thing abt this kid is that he gets bored easily and if he does he turns into a #complete menace. now a couple weeks ago. he shows up at the program w one piece volume one and spends the entire time he's there peacefully #reading and not causing any problems on purpose. my coworker owen (the one who climbed onto the roof) and i were shocked and in awe of how #peaceful he was being and came to the conclusion that he NEEDS to have a manga volume in his hands at all times. few minutes later. #he finishes reading and isn't bored yet so he decides to go talk to me abt manga. specifically he starts pestering me abt what shonen i've #read despite the fact that i am a shoujo reader and told him that. but he knows i've read kuroshitsuji bc he previously asked me abt what #the worst anime i've ever watched is and i will never not take an excuse to drag the adaptation. and he figures that if i've read kuro i've #probably read more. and so i mention tbhk and he asks more abt it bc of the name involving toilets and him being a 4th grade boy so i give #brief overview and he wants to read it. and i come up with a scheme to make him peaceful AND to give him something to talk to me abt which #isn't 'i know you've read more shonen manga' 'let me gacha on your phone' or 'i saw an ad for rent a gf. thought it was lame. and now want #you to tell me how it sucks bc i assume you know everything abt every animanga ever' (<does unfortunately know too much abt rent a gf bc i' #a bit of a nosy bastard and watched the mother's basement video). so i offered to bring it in bc i own physicals of the whole series and of #as previously mentioned. gave it a quick reread in advance just in case. and got hit by it. hard. i love you tbhk almost as much as i love #when ppl get into things through me. honestly i think getting to live vicariously through him might be one of the main reasons it got me #this time around and not as much the first time (still loved it the first time though). flash forward a little while. one of the 3rd grade #girls is like. really into reading. and also macabre things. like ghosts. and she has two books from the school library. and has had the #same two books from the school library for over a week. she reads quickly and finished them both in under a day and is now bored out of her #mind rereading them. she asks to read the books i've been letting the other kid read. now there are two of them #romeo.txt

Genuinely think if I wasn't my moms kid she would not like me very much as a person

#this is probably my period talking lol #but idk ive talked about it before but my mom is a very affection stunted person #so growing up she like rarely ever complimented me #and her way of 'helping me' or comforting me was telling me how wrong i do things so i can 'figure out' the solution loooll #she still does this and even though im conscious of it it still sucks.... #plus every person with similar traits to me she finds annoying or unbearable so its like what was I supposed to think?? #also has maybe complemented me once or twice in my entire life about something to do with me as a person

everyone sees santana as the jealous one which is true. but i think brittany would be jealous too just more low key about it

#i mean after s4 i think santana really gets over it #like that’s her acceptance. she just can’t have brittany like that anymore and it sucks #because well also my bpdtana headcanon. she probably felt really possessive over brittany for a bit there #and also hated brittany a little i’m not even gonna lie because she was so frustrated at how seamlessly brittany moved on #but then she accepted it after she realized brittany wasn’t out to get her nor was sam #it was just. moving on. and santana would have to accept that. also need to mention the distance definitely fucked w santana’s head about it #being away from brittany for so long? yeah. she took it as a sign that brittany was abandoning her which caused her to kinda freak out #cause she spent so much time being so dependent or close in general to brittany. the sudden distance was Weird and Bad to her head #and heart #but then you know brittany talks to her about it so she realizes she needs to move on #then dani comes in right #she’s over it. they’re both just fine. but then 5x12. well brittany certainly didn’t like that there was another person in the picture now #-for santana. like she may not have shown it as much as santana does but she was kinda pissed about it i’m ngl #like the whole immediately kissing santana and then bringing up their history? she was about to KHS over the idea of santana just finding #-someone else and even preferring them more over her. llikeeee she wants santana so bad #jealousy im telling youu but she was trying to be normal about it #endgame though so we’re good. i just think about it sometimes #god nobody can rip jealousy tropes out of my hand i just love them #draft clearing spree! woohoo #and also i mostly just think that brittany was jealous in s5 going crazy. near end of s4 a bit. SHE NEEDED HER GIRL BACK asap. #gleeposting

[aaobjectionposting-va4]

Ok but can we talk about how out of all the major male characters that Ryunosuke interacts with throughout the story, van Zieks is the ONLY one that isn't hiding something from/lying to him at one point or another?? Sholmes lies about Kazuma being alive, Kazuma hides the fact that he's going to Britain as a hired assassin, Yujin hides details about the Professor killings from him in 2-2, Stronghart lies about... Well, everything really. Like there's so much I could say about him lol. Gregson hides the fact that he helped frame Genshin for the Professor killings, McGilded lies about having been the culprit in the omnibus case, Jigoku lies about having been the one to kill Gregson... Etc etc. I personally can't remember a single point where van Zieks was hiding things from Ryuu or just straight up lying about important things to his face. He's an ass to him at first, sure, but he's ultimately on the side of justice and finding out the truth, even if it means hurting his cases or having his worldview challenged (except maybe in the case of Klint, which I'll get into).

Now one might say, "Oh but didn't he hide the fact that he had a brother from Ryunosuke at first?". And to that I say... So what? From van Zieks' point of view, details about his personal life (and ESPECIALLY about Klint) are hard to talk about and, frankly, Ryuu really had no reason to need that info about him, other than just to be nosy. That's why he's so cagey about the topic in 2-3, and why he's (somewhat) more willing to talk about it with him in 2-4/5, because at that point Ryunosuke absolutely DOES need to know more about Klint (and the Professor killings in general). And as for Ryuu's point of view, he really has no reason to be asking about van Zieks' personal life at first, other than the fact that he's just curious about it.

Anyways. I really do believe that, despite how rocky these two's dynamic is at first, it's been built on honesty and straightforward-ness from the start, and I really appreciate how we have an Ace Attorney prosecutor who's more than willing to not hide the truth from his lawyer rival (even if he's making dunks on Ryunosuke half the time, lol)

#GOD im so glad i finally wrote. something. about these two's dynamic #like their dynamic is so underrated and it sucks because it's so good like!! #as early as 1-3 these two are working towards finding the truth no matter what it may be. even if it means they might lose #ryuu in 1-3 openly admits that the omnibus was tampered with even though that may implicate his client #van zieks in as early as 1-4 not only gives evidence to the defense that he 100% didn't have to give #(and that would potentially cause him to lose the trial) #but he also calls out the actual culprit and makes it very clear that he won't tolerate her hiding things from the court #he does this in 1-5 as well with graydon.. and in 2-2 with ms green #i'm currently doing my second dgs playthrough and i'm at 2-3 so my memory there is a lil hazy lol #but i do remember that in 2-3 he had an absolutely insane premise for his case and probably sounded like an IDIOT to everyone there #and it 100% feels like it was a way to subtly tell ryuu 'hey mr naruhodo you're smart you should have 0 issue ripping my case apart' #(to be fair 2-3 saw his one friend as the defendant so that's probably why he went through all the effort. but still) #anyways im obsessed with their dynamic and y'all SLEEP on it goodbye #va4 rambles in the tags #vu's posts #tgaa #tgaa 2 spoilers #barok van zieks #ryunosuke naruhodo #also to y'all who ship them you can absolutely ship tag this lol. like im not a fan of the pairing i just like their dynamic platonically #but tbh if you wanna use this as ship fuel then honestly just go for it lmao #o shit i almost forgor... their dynamic tag omg #reaper/resolve

Kindred spirits appear when you least expect them (geddit?).

Normally it wouldn't be a massive deal hating something popular, bc inevitably, everyone's gonna hate something popular at some point in their lives. But what do you do when you hate Me Before You and LOVE Sam Claflin, what do you do then? What do you do, when you see an article about him and get that dreaded feeling in your stomach as you click to open it, bc you know that film will be mentioned? (I want to hug every journalist who doesn't bring it up. Nicely done work, Men's Health.) What do you do when you see all the comments from people who love that film saying how much they cried? (Why? WHY???? What is there to cry about? How easily impressed people are by a cheap tearjerker?) What do you do when that film is sold as the best thing in romance, a True Love (how?), a "doomed love story" (how????? Romeo and Juliet is a doomed love story, not this trash). What do you do when you know there are much, much better, more quality films with Sam to watch, with better developed female characters AND love interests--but everyone ignores them? What do you do?

Will: You're the only thing that makes me wake up in the morning.

Also Will: kills himself.

How truly inspirational! /s

#sam claflin #me before you #samblogging #i guess it's him i should be mad at most for taking that role #the biggest downside to being his fan #the absolute worst #like love rosie sucks but had i been a teen watching it i might've liked it #tbh teens are the audience for that film probably what with its immaturity #but this... PAIN. SHEER PAIN #emilia fucking clarke has GOT and is now in marvel and i bet you nobody thinks of mby when they think of her #yet it keeps coming up for sam even tho he is miles. MILES better actor than her #and there's so much good stuff #watch adrift now that is inspirational #that is a tearjerker in a good way #you got that cute romance with a mermaid on potc4 #snow white and huntsman with william & snow white childhood friends to lovers #if you just look at the love stories #as far as 'dooomed' goes... their finest #he wanted to marry her! #while will chooses death over being with louisa #will does not love louisa #don't blame him she's the stupidest protagonist in the world #a pair of stripy tights does not a personality make #florence nightingale syndrome does not a love story make #ugh #i hope rupert and alicia lived happily ever after though #villains are always better #so glad at least i got it out #jojo moyes sucks #mypost

i don’t look at prsk fandom much less vbs fandom even though theyre my 3rd favorite group but anhane is #good in canon because an’s mental illness is so good. where she’s wanted to achieve a dream by herself for so long that she doesn’t know how to go about sharing it with someone (kohane) without belittling them and subconsciously seeing them as inferior and she has to really make steps towards understanding them as an equal and not someone she has to guide or protect

#ramblings #an is interesting i dont think enough attention is given to this part of her character #shes just like khn's cool butch gf even though the point of her narrative is that she doesnt ahve to BE that for khn #because kohane is capable in her own way and she should be allowed to make mistakes and for an to see her as an equal in achieving their #mutual dream of surpassing rad weekend #this is my thoughts on it bc i saw someone talk about anhane fanon sucking #and it does bc it gets reduced to protective more masc lesbian and fragile more fem lesbian LOL #i've told people that an is like utena adjacent unfortunately kohane is not very anthy adjacent #just bc shes way too nice. im not caught up on vbs stories so maybe they did fight but idk #i think an is interesting though since this is obvs something she struggles with and she probably sees herself like #in a separate class from most ppl because she's ken's daughter

my hobbies include watching the sheer horror on new therapists' faces when i tell them about my childhood

#eliot posts #i keep going through therapists cuz i get my therapy for free from the university #and they started putting limits on how many therapy sessions you could get from the normal clinic #so i go to their other clinic that has like. grad students getting their first clinical experiences while being supervised by a real doctor #(through recordings and a 2 way mirror. i do not get to see the real doctor's face. it's odd.) #so i get a new one every semester or so as they complete their programs #so these are fresh faced newbies that i probably make question if they're REALLY uo for the job #i mean i HAVE been told i'm a good client very open about shit very willing to try things etc etc #but they do have to listen to an hour of Horrifying Shit That My Parents Should Be In Jail For #this new lady is nice though and she Gets my issues for the most part #my previous lady that i had for the summer kinda sucked. idk if she was bad at her job or just didn't click with me #but she always managed to zero in on shit that was Not The Main Issue #some therapists have this tendency to like. focus on the Standard Depression Shit and try to treat that #(sometimes even trying to treat depression symptoms that you don't even experience) #cuz that's what's in their wheelhouse #like i'll tell some long complex issue but briefly mention like ''i kinda wish i just didn't have to keep living through all this'' #and they hone in on that minor thing because suicidal thoughts is something they know how to handle #they don't know how to handle Whatever The Fuck I Got Goin On. no one really does. least of all myself. #mental illness mention #abuse mention in tags #suicide mention in tags

I can't imagine there will really be any more content of the Seisho girls after Climax. Not only was it a reinterpretation of the movie, but it definitely acted like a finale. I hope this means Aina Aiba can get out of Bushiroad hell soon b

#i mean #i loved her as claudine and i WOULD like to see more claudine #but bushiroad loves to monopolize their talent #probably not though #they'll just move her to the next bushiroad production #which sucks because she's so good at what she does and i want to see her in a lot more #*imagining an aina aiba precure*

The Belle Agency's means of recruitment

The Belle Agency acts as a talent agency but secretly is a supernatural awareness foundation. They carefully use the most appealing and skilled members as agents by utilizing the most common talents or skills they might have to be able to be known for (for example Shanice is a model and actress, and Alasie is a teen idol) to give an excuse for them to be known all around thus granting them more access to more locations than just their main branch.

The recruitment tactics of the Belle Agency in recent decades versus when it first started are drastically different. At the end of the day, the agency's ultimate goal is to protect the supernatural and those with extraordinary abilities. However, the methods are built through calculated pragmatism such as often those recruited as agents are usually the most exploitable from vulnerability to foster loyalty. The unspoken agreement of being indebted to the Belle Agency creates a complex dynamic where loyalty is both a choice and a consequence.

This highly contrasts the genuine compassionate legacy of the original founders before the new head, Natasja Belle took over a decade ago (she's the oldest daughter of the original founders and a dhampir). The original magical human and vampire married pair (Wilma and Clavell Belle) that founded the Belle Agency and treated it for the abnormal and supernatural to have a safe environment to live in, building it to be a society or to eventually adjust to a human-run society (whichever they chose). They used Wilma's acting career as a way to help fund the foundation.

#focused; character development #i wouldn't go as far to say they're a cult but maybe a really fucked up mlm scheme #like they promise you all this great stuff but you have to complete so much stuff for anything #cause natasja the head lady in charge is just kinda of a bitch #like she got her own reasons but she still is #her mom though is a sweetheart like wilma cares about anyone #all the og belle agents are the biggest wilma stans they hate she retired #hell i am sure like most quick after they realized how unhinged natasja was #in a way they kinda represent how actual talent agencies swoop in to take young talents that no nothing about the entertainment industry #suck them into shitty contracts and throw them away when they become liabilities or stop doing the numbers #like they probably only keep shanice around because well she's good at what she does despite being a pain to higher ups #but as soon they get enough her they will instanstly replace her with alasie who is much more naive and just is happy to be a popstar #belle are legit manipulative fuckers lmao
