#keep chosing her

[cordycepspog]

Love love LOVE the focus on Joel’s boots during his rampage in the hospital. Because it’s not in a fit of rage, or desperation. Joel’s face is blank. He’s not thinking about consequences of his actions. He’s thinking “you took away my daughter and now I’m getting her back.” It’s a skill he picked up from Tess. He knows what’s coming. There’s no need to get emotional about it. It’s the simplest thing in the world to him: “You don’t get to take her away from me. Not again.” Hell, he doesn’t even look at the doctor when he shoots him! He’s looking right at Ellie, his entire focus and purpose laying in front of him! Mans is straight up on autopilot!

Joel is a unstoppable force in his grief. And Ellie is the immovable object that keeps him from walking straight over the ledge.

#AND NOW IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME #Joel chose to cling so tightly to Ellie as his rock that the foundations coming are loose #and in his attempt to keep her safe he’s gonna drag her right over the ledge with him #and ellie will go willingly. #she said it herself #she’ll follow him anywhere #even all the way down to the dark bloody bottom #joel and ellie #tlou hbo #tlou #tlou spoilers #the last of us #joel miller #ellie williams

its much easier to do makeup when you only have one eye

#if one more person in this goddamn campaign gets wave tattoos im killing them. #PLEASE there are more things in the world you don't have to all get fucking wave tattoos im begging you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #anyway yes. not the final tattoo design. couldn't chose between these and the bright pink ones #jrwi riptide #lizzie lafayette #my art #sketch #its very funny to me that lizzie wears makeup while also being on a ship in the middle of the ocean constantly #her eyeliner smudges and drips because of the salt and water but she keeps reapplying it

it was always kind of a weird, fun fact that Kim was like the only miraculous holder that was never chosen by Ladybug (Fu chose him, not her). and... now.... well........... yeah............

#queen bee wasn't either ofc but to be fair Malediktator had a whole scene of Ladybug choosing to keep her so #overall still feels like in a way ladybug chose her #ml spoilers #ml s5 spoilers #derision spoilers #ml derision

Why do you have to make up for being you?

Because I always let everyone down.

#wc #warrior cats #my art #tigerstar #warriors #tigerstar 2.0 #Tigerheart #dovewing #Dawnpelt and flametail are dead and he couldn’t do anything about it #dawnpelts children are dead and he wasn’t there to save them #his father died and Shadowclan fell apart because he wasn’t there #dovewing ran away from him and he let her down #he trained in the dark forest with the first Tigerstar #do you think any of tears him apart inside? #to know he keeps making mistakes and can’t help everyone #do you think he tries so hard to do the right thing now to make up for all of it? #he chose juniperclaw as deputy and he poisoned people #tawnyplet refused to be his deputy #he can’t get things right #but he has too #rowankit is dead #do these things sit with Tigerheart and eat away at him? #is he desperate to save Riverclan to prove he’s better than his mistakes? his past? #he’s wants to be right because he can’t stand to be wrong again #do you ever think Tigerheart’s mistakes ever get to him?

My name is [BRUTUS] and my name means [HEAVY] so with a [HEAVY] heart I'll guide this dagger Into the heart of my enemy

Something about having absolutely no choice in who you marry. About being literally forced by the law to spill blood - to accept this stranger as your husband over a man you truly care for or accept the fact that the man you love might die because you put him in danger. Something about risking becoming the wife of a man you've never even seen before a few minutes prior because you know anything would be better than putting your beloved in harm's way. Something about the trust inherent in that decision and in the way she speaks of it after. Truthfully, T'Pring doesn't know the captain and she doesn't know Spock. Either one of them could have taken her as their wife but she does know Stonn. She knows that Stonn will remain by her side no matter what. They made a plan together. They have an agreement which T'Pring believes will be upheld even though the plan changed with the arrival of Kirk. Stonn will always be there, always, and Stonn will be hers. Something about the language used around T'Pring: Ownership, subservience, non-personhood. T'Pring is an object that Spock can win. She cannot reject him, she has no say in the matter other than having Stonn 'claim' her instead. Even when Spock leaves after being very clearly rejected by T'Pring he says "Stonn, she is yours." as if despite her clear rejection he still owns her and is must formally 'give' her to Stonn. But the language T'Pring uses around Stonn is a break from that: "There was Stonn who wanted very much to be my consort, and I wanted him." Stonn who wanted very much to be HER consort and she WANTED him. The language here is very particular - It's not, for example: "Stonn wanted me to be his wife" - he is HERS. And she WANTS him. There's a mutual affection there and a strong trust - a trust which seems to be well founded since Stonn (though silent) stands by her side at the end of the episode. <- That might seem small but if Spock would reject her for 'daring to challenge' (again, the language is not 'because I don't want you' but more of an implied disgust at her having the AUDACITY to reject him) then it's not a stretch to assume that it'd be considered an insult in the TOS Vulcan society to NOT choose Stonn as her champion after a prior agreement. Anyway T'Pring was a woman in an impossible situation within a society which saw her as more of an object than a person and she wanted Stonn and Stonn wanted to be hers and she trusted that he would understand if she had to publicly pick someone else to ensure his life would be spared and he did understand.

#amok time #T'Pring i s....T'Pring she....-puts my head through a wall- #PLEASE read under the cut for my rambling about T'Pring in amok time pleasepleaseplease #tired of 'T'Pring is evil/a bitch' and VERY uninterested in 'T'Pring is a girlboss' #T'Pring is a person in a society which doesn't think she has the right to make her own choices who's in [love] with a man who [loves] her #back in what I'd like to think is implied to be a slightly subversive way in its mutual and fervent nature (whether the writers thought #this was a good or bad thing - who knows. We know better RIGHT??) #and yes I will stylize T'Pring's hair differently every single time I draw it HEHEHE #star trek tos #Spock #T'Pring #also of COURSE something something spock/kirk & stonn/t'pring parallels: To keep your beloved safe you have to force someone else to kill #theirs - not BC you hate him (you don't) but you don't love him either and why does HE get to have you even if you don't want him?? Why doe #he get to 'give' you to the person YOU chose?? It's not a hatred on a person level (which I wanted to portray with the 'brothers') portion #but a sort of societal embodying. #I will think about T'Pring not wanting to be 'the consort of a legend' every damn day !!! #They really could have laid it on thick in making her evil guys...T'Pau even makes a comment about Spock's 'vulcan blood is thin' #but all T'Pring says is that Spock is a legend and she doesn't want that for her life. She wants Stonn. #And you're gonna sit there and you're gonna tell her that she's wrong!??? Spock doesn't even want to be with her!! Why is she so hated!? #CAN WE FREE MY GIRL??? She did all that but it's being read in the worst faith possible!! #comix #bea art tag #star trek art #She literally says the word 'FREE'...she's TRAPPED!!!

VIERAPRIL 9 - DAMAGE

Finally, finally, after bathing in the blood and offal of your enemies, finally you prove yourself worthy prey for the hunt!

#vierapril #vierapril 2024 #ffxiv oc #4.0 spoilers #ffxiv viera #zenos yae galvus #ffxiv #wol posting #I was cringing at that last photo for a bit. then I made something close and it was worse. so I tried to make that one work somehow #ig I did it........ it still looks weird but I like her pose too much to let it go lol also STORY TIME for no reason #i was mad MAD when I first played that part and we have like 2 dialogue choices so I was like doing everything in me to piss him off #i remeber saying zenos wanted the wol to say 'i accept you' so I would choose the other option. #and I choose the other option and he was like 'you proved me right :)' and I looked at my brother dumbfolded #he was like laughing. 'you really didn't get him yet?' WELL NO I DIDNT #this was right after chosing the '...' option that I never choose but I didn't want to answer him. and he goes 'how alike we are :)' #I was loosing my mind but now i get him <3 #also ignore that the scene with him and blood is the end.

actually I love Tentoo and he is the Doctor and it was the only ending for Rose that worked and it is a huge gift to be able to have the man she loves grow old with her, they were always heading for that, y'all be quiet. I 100% understand the angst but it's okay, they're okay, good ending-

#did you want her to...not end up with the doctor? #she ended up with the doctor. she ended up with the doctor and they get to AGE together #they get to have a real honest relationship the way they both always genuinely wanted #it's hard that the full time lord version has to carry on without her but that is the way that character's story ALWAYS goes #the doctor does not get to keep ANYONE. it would be a different show if he did #meanwhile there is a version of that same face of his - the one that was MADE for love? particularly born out of love for ROSE? the one 1/2 #2/2 that always wanted a FAMILY? and stability? and a normal life? the tenth doctor longed for that specifically because of rose #now he gets to have it AND be part-human so he doesn't have to watch her get old. he gets old WITH HER #and they're canonically growing their own Tardis so you don't even have to be sad that they're not adventuring in time and space as usual #because they ARE. it's the kindest ending for either character. and if the full time lord hadn't left without either of them- #-he would have had to lose them eventually. lose Rose because she's human? hello? painful? but instead he was selfless and left her- #-with a proper happy ending. which she CHOSE to have so you can't be like “he tricked her!” she chose to kiss one of them and it was Tentoo #they are the same man. Rose won in this scenario. #and I GET IT I am with Billie Piper I think it will always feel a little off that she was left with Tentoo and not the full time lord #I understand. it still makes me a little sad. but I know it's a good ending writing-wise. really the ONLY ending. #yes I know about the popular idea of Immortal!Rose or Bad Wolf Rose or whatever and that's cute and all BUT - it's not a GOOD thing #it's not PREFERABLE to be immortal. Rose doesn't want to live forever. she wants to be with the man she LOVES forever. #she doesn't want to not die or adventure for all time. she wants to be there to hold his hand. and when Tentoo is born she gets THAT! #Immortal!Rose is tragic. the Doctor would not wish the burden of immortality on the woman he loves HELLO #anyway #I ship timepetals. that includes Tentoo/Rose. because he is the doctor #so there #I have more thoughts on Tentoo specifically but I digress #maybe if provoked in an Ask or something idk #doctorrose #timepetals #opinion piece #tenrose #tentoo #handy

dany was so broken in agot, physically and mentally. she was ready to kill herself to escape drogo. her childhood had been a long unfortunate series of running away from the alleged monsters that killed her family and left her exiled and desperately trying to appease her abusive brother/guardian.

but then, after she's resolved herself to suicide, she has a dream. and then, she starts to notice the beauty in the new world around her. how the dothraki grass sea swallowed her up, the new sights and sounds and smells all around. she found solace in the people, she ate with them, learned their language in a matter of months, enjoyed their food. felt freer in dothraki riding clothes than in the fine silks ilyrio had dressed her up in.

I'm still deeply touched everytime I read about dany giggling, joking around, moving forward, hugging her friends, leading, and fighting after enduring so much. it's not about her being right in everything she does or everything ending well for her. she went through hell, was already going through it before the series even started, and she kept going. she grows and fights and fucks and laughs and cries and rages. she falls and she gets right back up again.

dany is ready to end her own life. the next day, she notices how pretty the sky is. she learns a few more dothraki words everyday and starts to connect more with those around her. she tries some new foods and starts to feel more comfortable on her horse.

the dragon dream certainly did Something to dany - a scarlet and black dragon (drogon, balerion come again) baptizing her in flame. scouring her, tempering her, making her clean. after this, dany makes the quiet choice to live. there is no grand revelation, no "i want to live!" monologue. she simply starts to notice the beauty in the world she's traveling through, the loyalty and easy comradery in her companions, the tasty food and comfortable clothes. dothraki smells, horse smells. riding leather, painted vests, the gently singing bells braided through hair. dany chooses life everytime she giggles, everytime she tries a new food or convinces her friends to try one, everytime she stops to stare at a pretty sight.

she was ready to choose death and she chose life. when her entire world had narrowed to the scope of her pain, to the strength of her abusers, to the golden collar drogo had put around her neck - she still chose life. and just like that, her world expanded and she could see all that was worth living for.

#i dont see the fandom talk about this much. how dany was ready to kill herself and then chose life #in a story where choosing life - to live and fight is kinda the whole point #dany already did that! she already chose life #main character of all time. protag of all time #and then she just keeps choosing life. only this time it's not just for herself #her life is not just her own anymore. she chooses life for her people too #idk i just. love to see characters go thru absolute hell and then choose life anyways #mine #this is probably v badly written but i am exhausted and emotional #daenerys targaryen #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #suicide mention

There can be something so special about headcanoning Kian Stone as having chosen his own name…..

#like yes she picked stone as a last name we know that #but i am a firm believer that they also chose kian as like a little kid or something #not necessarily even as a trans thing (even though he is) #maybe her parents just didnt name her #or if they did then i imagine kian just gaslit them until they fully believed that his name was always kian #can you tell im in a certain mood today? i just keep thinking about them #my specialest guy. my silly little blorbo. poor lil meow meow. #just roll with it #jrwi #jrwi show #jrwi bitb #jrwi blood in the bayou #blood in the bayou #kian stone #jrwi kian
