You ever just see people talk about the Percy Jackson books and know somewhere, deep in your heart, that none of these people have understood that this is a series made for middle schoolers. And that fandom will very frequently lie to them like, all the time. No, that character probably isn’t ooc, you’re just thinking of what the fandom turned them into. No, this book isn’t a horrible stain next to the others before it, literally all of them were like this. It’s Percy Jackson. It’s cheesy and occasionally makes a very questionable writing decision.
You gotta be in this for the long haul or jump ship my guys. Be cringe and free or be gone

you know the contrast between how Vergil is presented vs thinking too hard about Vergil’s story is pretty funny. Man’s reputation is this iconic badass, the pinnacle of what video game rivalries can be, the coolest guy to play as, the guy who breaks every game he’s added to,
and then you go to the story and like. man’s lost his free will and autonomy at 19 and then came back a fractured man half of which was a lovecraftian eye beast the other half of which was a chronically ill goth man. and then he reunites and hes in like his 40s now I believe but legit the last time he was actually in a game where he wasn’t being mind controlled when he was 19 which is both sad but also thinking about how this guy who’s considered one of the top badasses of gaming has never really lived life outside of being a teenager.
Anyways this is the secret comedic potential of post DMC5 for Vergil because not only has the human world probably changed a fair bit in terms of technology, if he’s sticking around Dante he’s gonna actually have to learn in depth how taxes and grocery shopping work. Amazing.

i think its so crazy the way having power as a shinobi always seems to be such a double edged sword on naruto. like on one hand, u need it, its a tool for survival and it earns u respect from ur peers. but on the other .. it can also lead to the exact opposite. if u have too much power it can lead (or contribute) to isolation and becoming ostracized from ur community bc it makes people fearful of u .. this is applicable to madara i think and to naruto and gaara as well. madara isnt ostracized only bc of his power, it is also his lack of skill in forming bonds bc he has trust problems but his power is a major contributing factor. he is feared for his power (but also admired) and the more he gets isolated, the more he starts building his own identity around it as well and starts thinking its the only thing valuable abt himself. naruto as well is feared for his power as a jinchuuriki even tho he is also a bit of a special case since its only the grownups that know abt this so his peers ... they ostracize him for the opposite thing. he's a failure at the academy and a difficult learner so he gets no respect. it is only when he starts gaining more power (or controlling it better) and using it for the sake of the village that he gets everyone's respect and acknowledgement. he's a hero even all of a sudden. but gaara is an even more extreme case. gaara is also a jinchuuriki and he's ostracized for it to such an extent that he does not get to build bonds at all and in a bit similar fashion to madara starts self-identifying only over his power. both him and madara end up consumed by their power but while madara decides to use it for the sake of saving the world, gaara just fully decides to just live for himself, fight for himself and love only himself ... madara also becomes a bit self-absorbed but its not something he does purposefully i think. gaara just goes, well, everyone fears me and despises me anyway, so i might as well give them a reason. my only purpose in this world is to kill ... i have no other reason to live. i forgot where i was going with this but .. something something isolation, objectification and dehumanization from others on account of ur power and it leads to the person internalizing it and seeing themselves also as either below or above being human .. madara perceives himself to be above it, he develops a god complex and comes to think that he is the messiah who will solve the world's problems (with power) and gaara seems to perceive himself to be beneath it .. as a tool and a servant. both to his village and to the bloodthirsty voices he hears in his head.

just listened to the lost boys novelization and some of my highlights include: sam biting michael being the reason theyre running around the house, sam quoting bruce when they get to the boardwalk because hes overdressed ("i wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face"), high michael staring at dwayne skateboarding and wondering when marko would come with the food (real), david making a move on michael to be inturrupted by marko with the food, sam tearing off a leaf of grandpas marijuana and trying to smoke it, star saying the boys are her family multiple times, star biting michaels neck when theyre making out multiple times, david catching michael after he falls off the bridge, paul trying to cheer up star, and michael saying david looks like the lord of the vampires when he first sees him in the final battle

you know what fuck it c!sausage loved the roseblings so much and it came out most often in his protectiveness. in one episode fwhip runs to him after Xornoth makes an appearance and hides behind him, and Sausage makes a point to shout and yell at the demon and keeps repeating ‘i’ve got this!’ ‘nothing to be scared of!’ and doesn’t tease him for being afraid.
“we’re fine, we’re fine, we’ve got this!— … just stay in here, stay here, don’t worry, I got this!”
later on in another episode gem runs to him after seeing the demon and even /with/ her concerns that he’s somehow entangled in all of this, she asks that he come back to her kingdom and check that its safe, and that he holds her hand too. he agrees Wholeheartedly, not a single moment of judgement, and when theres OBVIOUS HORROR happening, he denies everything that’s happening and promises gem that everything is okay
“Yeah it’s fine Gem, don’t worry about it!”
“I’m worrying about it!”
“Nah, I’ll protect you.”

RE: the pope saying priests can bless gay couples
(from an ex-homeschooled ex-Catholic apologetics-trained queer)
Reaction 1: wow I can’t believe he even dared to TRY saying that in the modern Church, especially after the shit that’s gone down with the recent synod
Reaction 2: how the FUCK?? Does that work with the Catechism’s pretty darn specific language about being careful to not even slightly condone people choosing to live in a homosexual lifestyle?
Reaction 3: oh my god the various schismatic groups are going to lose their shit and this will be VERY interesting. “Pope Francis isn’t a legitimate pope he’s a plant influenced by Satan blah blah blah. not MY pope” etc. get fucked lmao. die mad. you might finally cause enough ruckus to get officially excommunicated and join SSPX in war-of-attrition limbo! you already basically divorce yourself from the slightly more normal devout Catholic crowds because of how you act anyway lol
Reaction 4: this is going to shred the USCCB and all the current devout practicing Roman Catholics in the U.S. my god this’ll be interesting.
Reaction 5: I am so glad I no longer have to hear EWTN and Catholic Answers every day now. I cannot imagine how much Catholic Fox News is going to focus on this in coming days and months
my main thoughts:
I genuinely don’t understand how this is possible when the official Church doctrine still describes “same-sex attraction” as a “disorder” of “Natural Law” and clearly states that while people who bear the cross of being queer can be faithful Catholics, they have to be chaste and never act on their desires, and that the homosexual lifestyle and acts are not allowed for Catholics and cannot be condoned??
Blessing queer unions would sure fall under the category of “could be viewed as at least partially condoning homosexual lifestyles”.
I can’t wait to hear the reasoning behind this one. It’s sure going to give nuclear firepower to the “Francis isn’t a legitimate pope, he’s a plant from the Satan-influenced Jesuits and leading the Church astray” near-schism crowd!
