#just always waiting to be seen

[homielander]

shiv's motivations for voting to pass the gojo deal are so layered and i don't think they should be dismissed in favour of any one interpretation. shiv desperately grabbed on to a lifeline for her relationship with tom. shiv was the deciding vote and she couldn't bear to hold the crown only for a moment just to place it atop her brother's head. shiv knew she would have more influence as wife of CEO rather than sister of CEO. shiv absolutely hated seeing kendall crystallize into logan before her eyes, especially when he made roman bleed ("and if we did kill him we get to go to bed") -- succession has always been about siblings so of course she tried to free her brothers before her child. shiv still thinks she can raise her child with all the material benefits of being the daughter of waystar CEO while doing better by her, whatever that means. and all of those things are true

#shiv roy #succession #succession spoilers #ok i'm sleeping #wait i know i just assumed tomshiv baby is a girl but like. i'm right #also i have seen many people say shiv did it purely out of spite and i will say #i don't think they would have had dialogue about shiv saying she's tired and they should all rest #or panned to shiv looking at roman's face fresh with blood #or shown shiv tearing up over her conversation with tom at the beginning of the episode #or had her say 'i cannot stomach you' which has pretty obvious connotations even in the context of succ #or had shiv make up her mind precisely when kendall said the andrew dodds confession was a lie #if her motives weren't meant to be read as ambiguous. they would not have put those things in there without reason #shiv leaving the room may have been impulsive spite but what came after was more complicated #it's also not even wholly altruistic it's just cold admittance that they don't have It. she thinks she does #and i'm not sure why the sentiment that they can't take it but she can surprises anyone #she's literally always seen herself as the exception

the whole time Laura has been playing Imogen she truly has very much since the beginning CONSTANTLY beamed so many enamored looks of adoration and endearment and jealousy and pride and love when she looks at Laudna

like not just in conversation with her but just all the time when Laudna was just being herself

she really has been in love with her since the beginning and yall that is giving me LIFE

#like i have always seen it happening and believed with my whole heart but it feels SO GOOD to know without a doubt #it's so CLEAR in laura's delivery how much imogen just ADORES her dead gorgeous horror girlfriend #they are both obsessed with each other in different ways and i CANNOT wait for more conversation between them i CAN'T WAIT #imodna

Please, for the love of gods, allow yourself to consume content/media uncritically

You can be aware of issues a show/game/movie/etc has but you don't need to be aware of it *all* the time, you shouldn't have to justify yourself liking it every time you go to talk about it.

You shouldn't have to feel like you're the worst person in the world just because you like something that happens to have problematic stuff in it.

And you're setting yourself up for failure if you go into something immediately looking for all of the bad in it, you're setting yourself up to be unable to enjoy it! And if you do manage to enjoy it it'll likely just feel wrong because of that!

I'm begging y'all not to consume *everything* critically and to sometimes enjoy things uncritically.

#its so fucking easy to end up demonizing yourself just because you like media thst isnt deemed “good” #i only just recently realized how fucking guilty id feel admitting i like watching helluva boss to other people outside of my circle. or #feeling thr need to warn people about the heavy racism in baldur's gate 3 for the fear of being seen as an awful person for praising the #game despite thst in it. fuck i even feel bad admitting i like watching law and order special victims unit bc of its content and how often #it just goes- *wrong* but like- i realized a lot of that is bc my brain and my ocd are constantly trying to take content in critically. #trying to always shame it bc its “bad” either bc of its content or its creators and thus my ocd has a field day of turning thst around to #meam that *im* bad because i enjoy it. which isnt fucking true. i enjoy iy #which isnt true. i can know stuff is not good/great for various reasons but i can still enjoy it without that inherently make me bad #anyway bc this is tumblr im already expecting people to try to twist my words and intents to make this seem like s horrible thing #idc atm bc my head hurts from trying to just exist and relearn how to enjoy stuff without fucking purity culture and my ocd shame watching #me lile a fuckin hawk #cant wait to see how freeing it feels tho once i stop giving as much of a fuck/worry

Me watching the LGBT community who almost never rarely gives black women and girls, asexuals, or aromantics genuine respect, pretend we’re all friends and have always treated us right the minute it’s June 1st and want to use black women(mainly darkskinned) and girls as their little poster girl:

#asexual #aromantic #It’s always coming from the non black people(including other racial minorities) too #and the stuff coming out of the lgbt community towards black women and girls has gotten real nasty #i have seen numerous people(although they’re mainly black) say that black people are inherently queer because we’re unnatural and strange #in the eyes of white supremacy and white people #like are you ok in the head??? why do you want to say that black people are inherently strange and we defy every social standard #as of our existence is a social statement #I personally think the worst thing I’ve personally heard(from yet another black person) #was that black women and girls would get seen as men or trans women because our hair is nappy #what does our natural hair have to do with getting seen as men or trans women?? #and the white lgbt people just applauded them and hearted their tweet #it annoys me how for some weird reason political and social movements will mainly use black women especially darker black women as rep #and It’s almost always by a non black person #like why don’t you use a girl or woman from your own race in your political and social justice artwork #oh wait that’s right #because in general the lgbt community views black women and girls as magical negras who will be their ride or die sista soulja #who will mule and fight for them no matter how badly they outright insult us or sneakily talk badly about us #pride month is basically another black history month when it comes to how everyone reacts to it #every reaction to it is superficial and they’re only celebrating us because they feel like they had to or wanted social points #had it been any other month they would’ve been focusing on the group that they belong to

Pirate Outfts

I was bored, so I started trying some different outfits on Zara... The last one might be my favorite, if only because I already used another swatch of the first one for Wolf, and I can't have them wearing the same thing... But I also love being able to see all her freckles in the 2nd one...

#ts4 #the sims 4 #sims 4 CAS #ts4 CAS #adventures in cas #my sims #cas #ts4 fantasy #ts4 pirates #sims 4 fantasy #sims 4 pirates #oc: Zara #(she's only about half mine but oh well. I came up with the idea for her and my DM took what I gave him and has been cooking with it.) #I'm so fucking nervous to see how her conversation with Rook is gonna go. #He's planning on surprising her which will be... interesting. #and we recently found out that she knew where he was for those two years and didn't do anything about it... #and the DM says she's been having her own problems in the meantime but she's not a captain anymore... #it's been 3 fucking years since Rook has seen her and she's still nearly a god in his eyes. #I've imagined a dozen ways the conversation could go and there's probably dozens more. #I just gotta wait A FEW MONTHS to find out. 😭😭😭😭😭 #funny thing is I never decided on a surname for her I don't think. #seems like I ought to but I just never did. She's always been Zara to Rook and to me.

no chapter today but soon(tm), i just had to get this out of my head;;

#you can tell i was too lazy to draw his boots #but you also can't tell me he wouldn't train barefoot #morax medium size for comparison #i like to think the size morax was shown in the moonchase festival cutscene is canon #which would imply morax can just change sizes at will #which is perfectly plausible given the man can shapeshift into whatever he wants #so turning into different sizes of his original form for convenience's sake makes sense #hence why the exuvia in-game is so.... small... #bc for those who haven't seen or don't remember moonchase #morax is like... bigger than the harbor.................. #which in hindsight makes total sense given osial was also fucking huge #anyway #last chapter's jellyfish and next chapter's seahorse #along w the classic narwhal #does that count as a spoiler? #i also have skirk's design ready but i kinda put her in the same canvas as someone elese and i think it's best i wait till they show up #ngl since i can never get a clear image of skirk in my head i don't always envision her with the design i made #it only happens with skirk #which is funny and i guess very fitting #so uh #yeah #hope you enjoyed these childes #genshin impact #should prob start actually tagging these things #.png #.png fic #.png cyanide

A nice way you can involve others in the joy of transition is to ask them to help you choose a middle name, I think.

My best friend chose my middle name, and that is honestly something I really cherish as an adult. She supported me before everybody else did, and it honestly helped save me. I think it's a great way to memorialize others, even if you grow apart.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #i say middle name because it seems like people always forget about choosing new middle names haha #i can't count the trans people i've seen being like 'wait shit maybe i should change my middle name...' #obviously you don't have to and this is just a niche piece of advice #shout-out to my bestie who decided on a name from a fucking MUSICAL lmao #it goes with the rest of my name though and that's what it legally is now so :p #i also think having them pick a middle name can be a lot less intimating because middle names tend to only be used for official purposes #so it isn't like you always come across it (which os probably why so many people completely forget to change theirs lol)

thoughts on leatin?

i do believe thats where they were going and we wouldve seen it happen in s3. i cannot think of any other explanation for shelby telling fatin about how much she loves toni and fatin saying “ditto different girl same sorta idea”. theres no one else she could have been talking about and shes very confident and fluid in her sexuality.

plus leah was basically confirmed as bi too. i still havent gotten to my rewatch of s2 so i forget the context of this scene bc i watched it a while ago but i know she was hallucinating some guy and he was talking about her crushes and he mentioned some girl names too. and leah needs to get over that fricken older guy oh my god. a hot slutty girl would heal her.

i also think kirin is bi and wouldve gotten together with ivan eventually but im not sure how popular that opinion is. and again, ive only watched the season when it first came out so i kinda forget a lot of their dynamic but i know i thought something was up with them. and i remember hating kirin at the beginning cuz he seemed like such a frat boy lax bro but he ended up being my favorite one. im so mad it got canceled i wouldve loved to see more of him.

#the wilds #leatin #just tried to google what kirin and ivans ship name and i REMEMBER WHY I SHIP THEM #THE WAY THEY SAID ‘I HATE YOU’ TO EACH OTHER ALL SMILEY #that probably sounds crazy to people that havent seen it but trust me it was flirting #i couldnt find their ship name tho #wait no im looking through my tags and he said ‘as always fuck you’ thats romance baby #eden answers

#wingull #i've started saying that anything that looks funny staring straight at the camera has “ffp syndrome.” just as a noun. i think it makes sense #but. i think wingull has a bit of ffp syndrome. bc this one is pretty good. but i always love pokémon with big beaks. they're usu the best #just wait 'til you guys see pelipper. THAT one is gonna be a doozy #not sure when i'm queueing this up if that's gonna be later today or the next day but it's a good one #wingull is definitely *a* pokémon. 4x weakness to electric is like good for me because i love electric-types and i always use them #so it makes the whole wingull line ohkos for me in most playthrus but y'know. wingull is like. it's okay #i like the whole seagull thing going on but what's its shtick‚ y'know? it's always t-posing? i can think of wingull when i hear its name but #might just be because i've seen it a lot. known 'em for a while. i dunno if it's because they're particularly memorable for what they are

Marissa, victimized by an infection

I came up with the concept of an infected Marissa who could become a secret boss in the game

When you come to her for the first time, she behaves as usual and asks you to listen to her song. You sit down in your seat, listen, she thanks you, and you leave. However, if you don't convert her into essence right away, the next time you visit her, she changes her appearance a little, and again asks you to listen to her sing, a little more insistently. As a result, with each of your visits, the signs that she is infected will become more obvious, and she will ask you to stay more and more intrusive, until finally she wants you to listen to her forever, and then the boss fight will happen

I think the Radiance captured her mind with bright memories of her beloved city and its inhabitants, now stricken by the plague, of her bright concerts and former glory, and of close friends who disappeared, were infected or were preparing to fall asleep forever. Most likely, she died possessed by these visions, and her ghost, who remained on the stage, unaware of his death, was also possessed

#Infected Marissa is like WOW #I was watching the passage of some newbie who had a boss waiting on every corner #And he thought that Marissa's location also leads to the boss and I'm like #WOOOOOW #I want this damn thing #Marissa's reaction to the player's departure would have started from grateful to frankly annoyed that he was leaving #Why can't you just stay and listen to me forever??? #Is my singing not good enough for you??? #Did everyone else leave because I wasn't good enough??? #If I rip off your legs and rip out your eyes you'll have no choice but to listen to me. #/and the aggressive vocals begin/ the soundtrack is purely from her voice/ #Maybe in the process of fighting as always we would break the surrounding things #And behind them would be the corpses of beetles without legs and eyes which had not been seen before #hollow knight #hk #hollow khight marissa #hk marissa #hk boss

if you're still not boycotting israeli products, protesting against the genocide, sharing the news, asking for a ceasefire, I am judging you. I know my followers, I know my mutuals. I know the ones who selectively interact with my anime shitposts and ignore the ones about palestine. I am seeing you and I am judging you. I won't call you out on your bullshit personally, because if you can still ignore this humanitarian crisis while being active online and seeing all those posts, you're just not worth trying to reason with. But know that if you still choose to be silent, if you still think this issue is too political or complicated you're an ignorant, pathetic little bitch. you can't live without your starbucks? grow the fuck up. you think celebrities don't owe anyone their support and it is okay for them to stay quiet when it's the brown, the muslim who suffers? you're fucking delusional and you're pathetic. you think you get to turn a blind eye because it's not effecting you? you're a self-centered whiney little toddler. stay in your bubble and keep quiet all you want, i know you will lie to your kids one day and tell them you stood with palestine.

none of us are free until all of us are. free palestine 🇵🇸

#the biggest dumbfuck arguement i've seen esp from turkish media was 'well there are other genocides going on too 🤓' #and i think that's like the lowest you can sink #trying to use other ppl's suffering to promote the idea that any act done against genocide is in vain bc ppl always suffer and always will #like how fucking out of touch with reality do you have to be to think that's a valid point #yes many people are suffering #when we say free palestine we mean free the opressed. anywhere in the world #my heart cries for uyghurs. for sudan. for congo. for yemen. every single nation that's being massacred #the reason we put so much emphasis on palestine right now is that if we dont their freedom will be lost very very soon #this is not to say i'm prioritizing one nation's liberation above another #just the reality that if we dont speak up right now it might be too late #they are literally waiting for us to stop talking about it #to forget and get used to it #that's why its so important #all of them are. but if you're using the others to justify your apathy you're a disgusting person #freepalestine #free palestine #free gaza #boycott starbucks #boycott israel #boycott mcdonalds #boycott disney #boycott zara

Yeah my brain is having all sorts of thoughts over Pepa meddling in Eddie’s dating life after Margaret brought Buck a new couch that doesn’t fit (and is going to meet a bad ending) and the fever dream that was Buck on Eddies couch and a new kitchen scene in 6x12

In an episode called performance anxiety and after whatever the poker thing turns out to be and the couch of it all

I am squeeing over it so hard!!

#meddling families is just so juciy to me #and especially because Pepa has literally been there since the beginning of it all #I can’t help but feel like it comes back to the stick of it all #Pepa being the one to give buck the background info he needed to bring Carla into the mix - helping Eddie get unstuck #and now Pepa meddling in his dating life when we could argue Eddie is ‘stuck’ there - with the whole repression of it all etc #so Pepa doing the thing that will help get Eddie on track is so interesting to me #I love how she’s always been there in the background as his advocate and I don’t think we talk about it enough #- she was the one standing up for him in a lot of the Diaz family scenes we’ve seen #it’s like she knows when to push and when and who to give information to to get Eddie’s path corrected when he’s got himself kind of frozen #or stuck in a way of thinking or being #so her being involved here is so so interesting to me because it’s clear her appearence will help put Eddie on the right path #and I can’t wait!!! #911 spoilers #911 on fox #911 fox #911onfox #eddie diaz #tia Pepa #eddie #buddie #s6
