#it’s just sad irony

Ughh Rings of Power got me conflicted

#ughhh #I told a friend that the only problems I have with the show are #the male elves have short hair #and the fact that Amazon made it #and that really is the gist of it #but those two things are just so damn important #i haven’t read any of tolkiens work but I still adore the world and movies so much #and I was so mad that Amazon was gonna make the series bc I despise them #especially with Tolkien’s whole anti war and greed and all that #it’s just sad irony #and the elves hair was something I really loved #and now that I know better the dwarves beard as well #just the whole gender non conformity of it all #my queer heart loves it so much #and long hair as a desig choice is just brilliant in general #but seeing the elves being so boringly conventionally attractive just makes me so mad #bc in spite of all this I enjoyed the show a lot #I watched it with my floor mates and I had an amazing time #I almost cried at the last episode and I adored the scenery #at least we watched it five ppl on one account instead of seperately supporting I #I’ll just have to not think about it to much #I like it and will propably watch the next season #illegally if I don’t live with my floormates at that point #but I’m also aware about some of the problems #and now I just really wanna read the books bc tolkiens world is so amazing #hmm #me

Thinking about how Jamie left Richmond with friends on the team and probably came back expecting to have to prove himself but to still have a few friends just to come back to everyone openly hating him and mad at him and not wanting him there or to acknowledge his

Thinking about how in that interview when he was on Man City he was his usual cocky self talking about carrying his team, but he actually didn’t say anything bad about anyone outside or Roy and Ted. He talked about how all of the players on Richmond were good lads except for Roy Kent and called Ted a rodeo clown and Nate showed the team it and they all hated him enough to start throwing shit despite the fact that he wasn’t saying anything he wouldn’t have to their faces if he was still on the team and despite the fact that he was actually nicer to all the players except for Roy than he ever had been in person

Thinking about how Isaac went from being his friend and starting shit with him to breaking a TV because of his hatred toward him when Jamie really hadn’t even done anything to him and Jamie coming back to Isaac hating him as if they weren’t getting up to the exact same shit together when Jamie was there and if Isaac thought he himself was a way better person now and so was Colin but there was no chance that there could be anything redeemable in Jamie

Thinking about how Jamie left and DIDN’T talk shit about the team or make weird personal comments outside of the ones about Roy and Ted that he would have made to their faces if he was still there

Thinking about the way Nate left of his own volition and talked shit publicly every chance he got

Thinking about how Nate came back trying with everyone letting him that easily when HE was a dick in person too, left them of his own volition, and slandered them and made them a public joke for fun

Thinking about how Jamie got kicked out, DIDN’T talk shit about his friends, had to beg Ted to come back against the whole team’s wishes, and then got iced out by everyone whether it was people with a right to it like Sam or people like Isaac and Colin that had been friends with him and decided to treat him like the worst man alive to distance themselves and make themselves look better by comparison

Thinking about how Jamie think his friendships are all dependent on his spot on the team and he’s seen them disappear when he got kicked out before

Thinking about how Jamie still calls Isaac his best friend after this because he thinks he deserved all of what he got and that he was the one and only problem in that situation and how really we never see Jamie and Isaac as close again as they were in season one and there are plenty of other teammates I would have expected him to say over him

Thinking about Jamie watching Nate come back and forgiving him and knowing what it’s like to be in his place but also Jamie watching everyone else forgive him and care about him as a person that easily again while he had to fight for even Ted to let him come back and had to fight to have people even accept him being on the team again and to get them to acknowledge his existence long before he earned their friendship

#Just to be clear this isn’t anti-Nate or saying he didn’t deserve forgiveness #I’m not saying how they treated Nate was a bad thing I’m just saying how they treated Jamie was #And it’s good that they didn’t repeat it but the complete 180 of Jamie’s friends and Ted between Jamie leaving and coming back doesn’t #really get talked about #Thinking about how Jamie and Isaac and Colin were all dicks but Jamie got sent away and Isaac became Roy’s special project first #Thinking how Isaac and Colin got passes for their past while Jamie didn’t for a long time just because he was the one given the boot #Thinking about how Isaac really wasn’t nicer than Jamie he just threatened Roy less so season 1 Roy decided he was redeemable & Jamie wasn’t #Thinking about how Jamie came back to Roy having turned Isaac into Roy 2.0 and Isaac icing him out with everyone else #And about how when he wouldn’t say Roy he said the closest option to him #Also thinking about the irony of it being Nate who showed everyone the video like LOOK HOW BAD THIS IS #In related news I was working on the sad chapter that is not the next one but stays on my mind anyway #Jamie Tartt #Nate Shelley #Nathan Shelley #Ted Lasso #Isaac Macadoo #Mine

Every now and then I remember how some people were trying to diminish Jon’s importance by going “oh he’s not Aragorn, he’s at best Frodo!!” which….one is just super false, Jon is an Aragorn analogue (learn how to deal with it). But also, in an attempt to disprove Jon’s importance they actually proved it. Because what you mean he’s “at best” Frodo? Y’all know Frodo is the main character, right? Not Aragorn. It’s Frodo.

#jon snow #asoiaf #honestly it just comes down to people’s fixation with having their fave be le king #and trying to say jon can’t be king because he’s going to fuck off at the end of the story like frodo but like #they forget or maybe don’t even know that frodo was mayor and helped rebuild the shire for a good number of years #and then he got to fuck off with the elves FOR HEALING!! #like magic left middle earth which was super sad but frodo got to go live with the elves which is cool #really it’s just the irony of trying to say jon’s not giving main character energy…and then proving that he in fact is #by comparing him to frodo of all people ansjsnnsbs #the irony is not lost on me with that one

*rubs my grubby little hands together* alright here we go~ stick with me for a minute, this Does come around to murtagh and eragon's relationship i promise

-

I find it ironic that the circumstances of Murtagh’s life that went so awry- his capture by the Empire, his and Thorn’s enslavement using their true names, and them being forced to fight against the Varden- can paint him in a particularly selfish light. Eragon’s perspective reveals some of this, like the way he calls Murtagh’s oaths to Galbatorix a betrayal, one that favors his own wellbeing over Eragon and the Varden, or how he feels like Murtagh takes satisfaction in his new power and in lashing out at the world. And the fact that these things can be seen as self-serving specifically is ironic because it directly contradicts the actual quality of his character. Every time we see Murtagh acting of his own volition, over and over it proves that, more than anything, he is deeply devoted to the people he cares about- to a self sacrificing extent- and that he has an innate desire to help others.

Repeatedly, Murtagh puts protecting his loved ones above his own safety, and that’s true even in the act Eragon calls a betrayal. When they talk in Uru’baen, Murtagh admits to Nasuada that he willingly chose to swear loyalty to Galbatorix, but also reveals that he only did so after Thorn hatched. Murtagh himself had already suffered savage torture without relenting, yet solely for the sake of Thorn, to keep his hatchling partner from suffering as well, only then does Murtagh swear loyalty. And this is a self sacrifice. This undermines what he tried to make of his life before being recaptured- striking back against the Empire, aiding Eragon and Saphira, and proving his good will to the Varden. He had to give up all these things about himself and submit to slavery under a man he loathes, but Murtagh was willing to do that to protect Thorn.

And yet, while still trapped so hopelessly under Galbatorix’s thumb, Murtagh also goes out of his way to help Nasuada too. He convinces the king to capture her in the first place, instead of simply killing her, and whether or not this was his place, it demonstrates how he genuinely doesn’t want her to be harmed. He goes out of his way to help Nasuada by healing her pain, warning her about illusions, and promising to help her escape. And he makes good on that. From what he tells Eragon in their last duel, he had a plan to free her the next day. Murtagh goes to great lengths that put him at great risk. Galbatorix could have just as well discovered his interference and then nothing would have saved him from violent punishment. Freeing her would have guaranteed that. There’s nothing for him to gain, yet he still does these things for Nasuada time and time again.

The care Murtagh gives to Thorn and Nasuada proves that his selfless protectiveness toward his loved ones is a persistent part of his nature, but it’s never more clear than it is in his relationship with Eragon in the first book.

In Inheritance, Murtagh tells Nasuada that his initial motivation for going out to track the Ra’zac was to hurt the Empire and to prove himself as more than his father’s son. Nevertheless, from the time that he saved Eragon from the Ra’zac onwards, he demonstrates a desire to help that goes beyond a personal gain. On the contrary, I feel like his constant willingness to help while he personally strives to be recognized as his own person indicates that his helpfulness is a genuine part of his nature that shapes his desires and actions. And that nature shows itself repeatedly. Murtagh rescues Eragon a second time when he’s captured in Gil’ead, planning with Saphira and sneaking his way in to free him. When Eragon later thanks him for it, his response is, “‘I’m just glad I could help. It...’ Murtagh faltered and rubbed his face.”

After going to great lengths and knowingly risking his life to free Eragon from Gil’ead, Murtagh's instinctual response to his gratitude is that he simply wanted to help his friend. And this comes up again. When they fight in the Hadarac Desert, Eragon tells Murtagh he never had to travel with him or rescue him. “‘I haven’t forced you to do anything.’” Murtagh’s response is always funny to me because he’s irritable, afraid, and angry and so he’s deliberately trying to be mean and act like he doesn’t care about Eragon, and yet his reply is, “‘Oh, not openly, no. What else could I do but help you with the Ra’zac? And then later, at Gil’ead, how could I have left with a clear conscience? The problem with you...is that you’re so totally helpless that you force everyone to take care of you!’”

It does nothing except prove how much he cares about Eragon and wants to help him! “‘What else could I do but help you with the Ra’zac?’” is especially funny because the glaringly obvious answer is to just. not help. But then that makes it clear that Murtagh so genuinely and inherently believes he should help that he doesn’t see not helping as a real option. And even though he phrases it insultingly in his frustration, what he ultimately says about Gil’ead is that he couldn’t have made himself abandon Eragon when he couldn’t defend himself. He would have felt too guilty because he considers saving him the right thing to do.

I feel like a large part of this springs from Murtagh’s core morality and desire to do good, but there is also an element rooted in his relationship with Eragon specifically. They get along; Murtagh likes him and he trusts him and that matters when the help he gives him puts him at such risk. Murtagh is self sacrificing in the way he protects and looks after Eragon. Sneaking in to Gil’ead to rescue him could have cost him his life- Eragon himself acknowledges that when he thanks him for it.  And the risks he takes for him aren’t just overblown or inconsequential. When Murtagh enters Gil’ead beforehand, in Eragon’s stead, to find out the Varden’s location, he’s recognized and has to flee. When he stays with Eragon as they run from the Urgal army, it forces him to the Varden where he’s imprisoned.

And yet those repercussions don’t undermine Murtagh’s devotion to Eragon. Even when they reach the Varden, the one place Murtagh did not want to go and will rob him of his freedom, his heartfelt care for Eragon doesn’t falter. After Eragon’s mind is searched by one of the Twins who then tries to do the same to Murtagh, they have this exchange:

“‘Eragon has been declared trustworthy, so you cannot threaten to kill him to influence me. Since you can’t do that, nothing you say or do will convince me to open my mind.’ Sneering, the bald man cocked what would have been an eyebrow, if he had any. ‘What of your own life? I can still threaten that.’ ‘It won’t do any good,’ said Murtagh stonily and with such conviction that it was impossible to doubt his word.”

Murtagh’s statement is striking to me because the blatant, undeniable meaning behind it is that, if they’d tried to test Murtagh first and threatened to kill Eragon if he didn’t comply, he would have done it. Murtagh would have let the Twin examine his mind to save Eragon’s life. And the privacy and sanctity of his mind is of paramount importance to him. He says as much to Ajihad when he also tries to convince him to be examined. He declares as much right here! Murtagh explicitly states that protecting Eragon’s life is the singular thing that could make him yield. He would give up his own life before exposing his mind. This has even more gravity for Murtagh specifically. He’s self sacrificing, but not reckless in the same way several of the other main characters are. He’s not one to toss his life aside; he fights hard to survive. So his willingness to die to guard his mind hammers home how important that is to him.

Because of that, even though such a situation never came to pass, Murtagh’s admission that he would give that up to protect Eragon’s life is the most salient proof of his devotion to me. And that’s considering he also fights the Ra’zac and infiltrates Gil’ead for him! I honestly don’t have another word for it- Murtagh holds a truly profound devotion to Eragon that is built upon his desire to help others and to fervently protect the people he cares for. These aspects are so integral to him that they determine his most significant choices.

#i dont think they are greedy corporate monsters. i think they are creators trying to run a business with no knowledge on how to do that #icarus flying too close to the sun and all that #is just so clear they didn't make any kind of market research #a youtube poll would have helped them #is just a shitty thing because they clearly just want to have more creative freedom and do bigger things #but if you are running a business then you also need to think about your audience. which i don't think they did #and the international issue with dollars in this economy #+ the need to use a vpn in order to watch in certain countries apparently #+ an audience of mostly 20 somethings and younger people who have other priorities #and like nearly every single person that i've seen that actually likes this idea. has also said that are not paying #because they can't afford it. so even if people were on board with this. is just not viable with their audience #like sorry. but 'streaming service' is not plan b on the list of things to if you dont wanna rely so much on ads #and them doing a 14min long video that is edited like a shitty corporate apology video #in which you say 'if you can't give us money. bye ig' while promoting #a show about people traveling to dif places and paying expensive meals #while also saying you have no money to pay your 25!!! employees #not to mention not clarifying anything and leaving everything in vague terms #like international issues. whether you are deleting your previous youtube content or not (they don't say anything about this on the vid.... #....

feeling so normal about li bing and qiu qingzhi btw

#their dynamic is fascinating no matter which medium you choose #but the cdrama's choice to deep dive on the 'old friend' deal and all that entails just hit my specific niche so hard #idk what it's like to experience the cdrama when you haven't got the donghua in the back of your head but as someone who did? #the irony was so much. despite the changes enough was kept intact that going in I knew two things for sure: #1) despite seeming antagonism they do both care for each other. 2) qqz was never getting out alive. #was sad to see the li bing|li bao stuff get dropped but the new backstory worked + explained the differing characterisation for lb rly well #white cat legend #white cat legend spoilers #<- for my own tags oops #no but like. the way that lb admitted he always thought he'd die young but maybe he could live on through qqz #and then in the end it's lb left alone with no choice to die even if he wanted to. whilst qqz would rather die than become a 'monster'. #and he meant it in a different way (addiction metaphor) but lb had his own worries that his demon state meant he was now a monster. #sth sth choices about living and dying and being a 'monster' and how lb had support but qqz was surrounded on all sides by wolves #he chose to be there because he had to be to survive. as a former slave he knew he had limited choices. but it's still so....

Which Old God are you affiliated with? (Fear and Hunger)

The God of Fear and Hunger

A newly-born being able to rival the power of the Old Gods. You find yourself affiliated with her. Perhaps in your life you have gone through many changes. Some you wish not to speak of. But do not lose them to time. Remember your beginning. Remember your life. If humans are anything but two things that is hunger and rage. And like the ones before you, you can consume, swallow and devour until you are sick but you will never be satisfied. You may find yourself at an inability to express yourself, like your tongue has been cut right out of your mouth. By the hand of your father or God. It doesn't matter to you. You will change. You will change yourself and others. No one can tell if you are showing mercy or thinly disguised cruelty.

[hangingoffence]

here again to talk about rdr2 but i absolutely love this scene in "Money Lending and Other Sins VI" where Arthur approaches the widowed Mrs. Londonderry to reclaim their debt.

And these. These frames may just look like regret on Arthur's part for trying to rob a widowed mother and her son.

But i think this means something deeper to his character. Only twice in the entire game does Arthur mention that he used to have a son. Both are hard to miss and require high honor.

Eliza and Isaac were people from Arthur's history whom he seemed to love at least in some level. Isaac seemed to be an accident with Arthur and Eliza but still Arthur visited them from time to time and gave them money so that they could live a normal life. But Arthur tells to Rains Fall how one day he came to visit and only found their graves. Killed in a robbery. Arthur also tells how it hardened him. And how he never really coped with their deaths.

So this moment where he is in the position of the robber coming to demand money and seeing a small boy with his mother. The way he looks at the boy and then away in shame. It must have hurt him even more than what seems from the surface. I think he felt disgusted with himself even more than previously.

In the previous debt collection you've had the option to absolve or reclaim the debt. But in this you only got the option to absolve the debt or absolve the debt and give money to the mother. The game doesn't give you and option to take anything from them.

#this game is just so sad at times #you really can see the conflict in arthur to help and the voice acting of roger clark is just perfection #his his voice breaks as he tries to apologize tot he mother #you can hear the regret #also there's irony in the fact that mrs. londonderry's dead husbands name is arthur #arthur morgan #rdr2

I saw @overobsessedfanboy23 talk about the whole Rush Duels will speed up the deaths of Velgearians

It's sad that the thing that brought them salvation is the thing that will kill them. It makes me wonder if The Creator knew about this when creating them (either as a tool to discourage them from Rush Duelling, as The Creator saw it as a failure, or because he knew that the war would be solved through Rush Duelling so he used it to signal the end of their utility as eternal soldiers).

Hey if you could make any full fledge fic materialise just by outlining, how would you outline a Moulin Rouge AU for obikin?

Moulin Rouge AU would be too sad 🥺

The closest I could do and have thought about is an au where moulin rouge happens and obi-wan ad Christian gets on the Titanic to go to America for a change in scenery, no i don’t care about correct time periods, and he meets rich socialite anakin and even though he’s sworn never to love again, Anakin gets under his skin and suddenly he can’t stop thinking about him and they find solace together

(And they survive because Obi-Wan cannot see another love die so even when anakin is like “you have the float, I’ll stay in the water”, obi-wan gets in the water with him and refuses to use the float until anakin takes his turn and theyre both saved)

(Obi-Wan, very close to dying, does call Anakin ‘Satine’, but Anakin doesn’t even hear him)

#asks #the irony of me saying no moulin rouge its too sad only #to talk about a titanic au is NOT lost on me ok #but it’s just that satine’s death in moulin rouge feels like her ultimate freedom #but in titanic they could hoth thematically survive #obikin
