#like i was rooting for him

[blackgirlsuperherorants]

I kinda agree with the takes about Wakanda not being the victim. Not to say the Talocans are the victims or blameless. I think it's not good vs bad or Black vs white, it's grey vs grey. Namor was being peaceful until his friends were killed. Threatening but peaceful. Wakandans would have reacted the same way if it had been the other way around and one of their own had been killed.

But see how your take is reasonable and based on the actual plot of the movie? lol. I don't think anyone was a victim, exactly, in this movie. I mean, it's WAKANDA and the MCU version of ATLANTIS (Talokan). They are the two most powerful nations and peoples on the face of the MCU Earth. (And America stands no chance against either of them, tbh.)

I still maintain that holding a princess for ransom is an act of war. If I was writing a similar plot line in my worldbuilding, that would be enough for the other kingdom to strike. It's enough in most stories. Even Mario is about Mario going to fight King Koopa to rescue Princess Peach (Not exactly war because it's a children's video game, but you know what I mean.)

But that doesn't mean Wakanda is a victim. It means that they were not the aggressor. Namor was NOT afraid of Wakanda and had no reason to believe he wouldn't win should they go to war. Especially with Wakanda having no Black Panther at that point. He knew what he was doing. He was not playing nice. My boy doesn't play nice lol, let's not pretend he thought he was playing nice. He knew what he was doing.

#this is just me defending wakanda from the inevitable antiblack bs #like we're not going to pretend wakanda is some stand in for the US ew #it's a movie about two powerful kingdoms #the battle is the point #and seriously namor is my mannnnn #like i was rooting for him #but not because wakanda was ... being imperialist??? #but because i love him #but i knew he was on his usual bullshit because again he's just Like That #he gonna fuck shit up when he wants to #but every little thing wakanda does that isn't perfect angel behavior #i always see takes like this as if they're the woooorst #they aren't even the worst in the MCU #honestly even in the MCU the United States is the worst #have we forgotten they destroyed Sokovia completely? #even before the city dropped they funded the assault on sokovia #wakanda just minds its business #so does talokan actually until now

I am not entirely certain what will happen once the actors & writers strike ends, but I'm pretty sure Michael Sheen will break the sound barrier with how fast he will go feral on the internets about how Aziraphale wants to eat Crowley's ox rib

#i mean have you seen how he looks at David Tennant #Have you seen how Aziraphale looks at Crowley #it's not a “I like him a normal amount” kinda look #it's more of a “I hope you've put down some solid roots cause Imma climb you like a tree” manic stare #and he has been 0% chill in all earlier statements about it #so i anticipate a feral front approaching from Wales with a hefty precipitation of Sheenussy on display #Is this post inappropriate? #i don't even know anymore #my brains are scrambled to the point of no return #what is reality #hahaha I don't care let me shitpost and die on this hill #good omens #good omens 2 #michael sheen #aziraphale #ineffable idiots #ineffable husbands #aziracrow

i am in love with your sollux i think

sollux love party :]

if you’re interested heres some of my personal fondness thoughts on him.. big warning for the mega long read ahead aye

as we alr know sollux's rejection of participation somewhat mirrors dave's rejection of heroism, but even without getting cooked to completion i still find sollux's character v compelling beyond the fourth wall

as someone who doesnt get a pinch of that Protagonist Sparkle to begin with, he can openly say he wants to leave anytime…. and unlike dave, he actually Can leave the scene anytime. but he can never be truly Free from the story via permanent character death like the other trolls.

his irrelevancy is indeed relevant - he’s there so u can point him out.

while his image is intended to be a relic of past internet subculture, his role is not only about hehehaha being a Chad or a 2000s cyberforum 2²chan haxxor ragequit gamebro.

his continued existence also happens to add a Bit to the overarching themes of homestuck! a Bit that gives him longer-lasting thematic relevance compared to the trolls who could’ve had more character potential but didnt get to survive beyond the main story.

the Bit in question:

his defiance contributes to the illusion of agency (treating characters = people with autonomy). he’s “aware” of it, and that recognition is worth noting enough to forcibly keep him alive as both reward and punishment.

considering how his personality & classpect is designed its definitely a very haha thing for hussie to do LOL. he’s made to be op asf so he's resigned to doing dirty work, gradually deteriorating along the way but never truly dying. as fans have mentioned before, him openly rejecting involvement after a while of grim tolerance is like if the sim u were controlling suddenly stopped, looked up and gave u the finger while u were step six into the walkthrough for Every Possible Sim Death Animation.

but since he’s just a sim… the more he hates it, the more you keep him around. if ur sim started complaining abt your whimsical household storyline you’d definitely keep that little fuck.

but yeah i like that sollux is just idling. the significance of his presence being that one dude who's always reliably Somewhere, root core Unchanged, no individual ambitions (possibly due to fear of consequence?), and design-wise: a staple representative product of his time.

compared to dirk's character, who has aged phenomenally well into the present (themes of control + AR + artificial intelligence, clearer exploration around navigating relationships/sexuality, infinite possibilities of self-splinterhood and trait inheritance), sollux's potential is really... contained. bitter. defeatist. limiting and frustrating in the way old tech is.

the world continues moving on to shinier, brighter, more advanced automated things - minimalist and metaverse or whatever but sollux is still here 🧍‍♂️ going woohoo redblue 3d. (tho personally i imagine his vibe similar to what the kids call cassette futurism on pinterest mixed w more grimy grunge insectoid influences eheh)

conceptually-speaking,

at the foundation of it all, the rapid pace of modern development was built off the understanding of ppl like sollux in the past, who were There actively at work while the dough was still beginning to rise

thats one of the cool things abt the idea of trolls preceding humans! the idea that trolls like sollux excelled back when lots of basic shit still needed to be discovered, building structures like networks and codes from scratch, and humans will eventually inherit and reinvent that knowledge in ways that become so optimized it makes the old manual effort seem archaic, slow, and labour-intensive.

but despite information/resources/shortcuts being more accessible now, much of the new highly-anticipated stuff released on trend still end up unfinished, inefficient, or expiring quickly due to cutting corners under severe capitalistic pressures

meanwhile, some of the old stuff frm past generations of thorough, exploratory and perfectionistic development still remains working, complete, and ever so sturdy.

those things continue to exist, just outside our periphery with either:

zero purpose left for modern needs (outdated/obsolete)

or

far too important to replace or destroy, bcs of its surprisingly essential and circumstantial usefulness in one niche specific area.

which are honestly? both points that sum up sollux pree well.

dramatic ending sorry. anw are u still on the fence or are u Sick abt him like me </3

Danny can't recall many fond memories of his childhood, but ones he did remember often included their summer trips to his Aunt Alicia's in the countryside where he and Jazz would play in the woods just outside the Kent family's farm. The Kent's were a wonderful family who took his parents' ghost talks in stride, and they were always kind to him and Jazz. Danny loved when Clark and his wife Lois were in town while they visited. They always had really cool stories on account of them being journalists. And if Danny seemed to notice that Clark tended to treat everything like it was glass, or that he seemed to hear things way better than he should... well, Danny wasn't going to say anything about it.

It was about a year after Danny's accident that the Fenton family made a trip back out to Alicia's. Clark happened to be in town; he heard the Fentons were coming. He'd heard shouting coming from Alicia's, but had initially thought nothing of it. The Fentons were a loud family, always getting into some sort of trouble. Then he heard the sound of their weapons firing; a little weirder, but still normal for Jack and Maddie. And then he heard a cry for help... that's when he found Danny stumbling through their fields, covered in dirt and blood and green, glowing goop. He had a gash in his side that he gripped at in pain, and his eyes burned a toxic green in his determination to get to the farmhouse. He clung to Clark as soon as he was close enough.

"Please help me," he whimpered through ground teeth. "My parents are hunting me, please you have to help me!" Probably a meta, he thought, angry that Jack and Maddie could do something like this to their own son, meta or not. With gentle hands, Clark lifted the child he'd known since he was a baby and got him to the safest place he could think of for medical attention. It was time to smuggle a child into the Batcave.

OR

Clark has known Danny his whole life, and when an identity reveal goes sideways in the countryside, Batman helps Clark adopt Danny.

the abolitionism leaving my body when I think about trump dying in federal prison

#now i dont agree with the death penalty #and im not rooting for this #HOWEVER there is a teeny tiny chance he could legitimately face the death penalty for felony murder #and it would be. kinda funny. probably especially to the families of the people whos execution he rushed through at the end of his term #anyway found the image thanks guys #for the record i know trump going to prison is entirely different from like a normal ass person but i still dont think prisons should exist #unfortunately they do tho and it would be great to see him face 1 consequence

So is the reason for Tyren getting more unhinged the side effects of the devotion necklace, or was this a downward spiral he would have gone done regardless of the necklace? I remember you talking about how the necklaces have consequences, and I'm curious if this is one of them.

Yeah!

Tyren would have been an already overly-doting and even jealous character on his own without the loyalty necklace, (and had been due to his crush on the Lamb even before recieving it, and what happens when you reject followers in-game) but his spiral into a unhealthy obsession and idolization was aided by the loyalty necklace.

If it was given to perhaps a regular, less devoted follower, the effects maybe wouldn't have had such severity. But Lamb got the materials/necklace from the mystic seller and isn't fully aware of the effects it might have on their followers yet.

So, dog is unhinged a bit on his own, but amplified by the necklace. He's originally friendly, caring and sweet. But you take good traits, too much of a good thing, and they can turn bad

#I want to talk about Tyren in stream again or go on a ramble #he's a character i want readers to like but also i dont want them to LIKE LIKE him #i want to write him in a way that makes you wonder if he did not go down this path he would actaully be someone you'd want to be friends wi #what ifs and what not #also in some reality there would people rooting for tyren in his corner because in his point of view #hes known the lamb for a long time and has been their friend and confidant #and has cared about them and even had a crush on them for quite a while #then suddenly this cat appears and everything feels wrong #dont get me wrong tyren is meant to be a good friend turned bad guy #but i was also never meant to get attatched to and develop the side characters as i have been doing slkdghsld #okay ive rambled enough #tyren oc #trod au

Your posts about wen ning are making me very sad. He just wants a hug 😔 can we wrap him up in a weighted blanket instead of chains? Much more comforting and still deadly when thrown at others!

He has been blanketed and given a mug of hot coco.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #ask #wen ning #WWX made the hot coco so it contains pepper flakes #(I also enjoy hot coco with Added Spices. I love adding cinnamon and pepper flakes. But it's not for everyone...) #I've had people try my hot coco and say things like 'Why' and 'what did you do?' and 'There's no way you enjoy this'. #but I do ! I love hot coco! I just make good on the promise of 'hot'. #Anyways. Wen Ning has a very dulled sense of taste (thats my headcanon) and can tolerate pretty much anything #If he ever has to eat anything it would be scavenged. Like a raccoon. You'll find him rooting through your trash. #Hitting you with those sad wet eyes to stun you into silence as he makes his escape #Anyways! 1 reblog is 1 refill of hot coco for this very cold and wet boy. 1 like is a blanket. Let's see how he fares.

...

Gonna be real for a moment and say that I haven't watched this show in nearly a year, and idk if this pairing is deemed problematic or whatever (i think most people like jenny with brad). All I know is that a few nights ago I was driving home, and this image graced my mind, and i knew I had to make it real. I shipped the fuck out of these two when I was little. Nostalgia is a powerful thing

#i had this thing when I was little #ANY TIME there was a guy in a cartoon #who had a super big unrequited crush on a girl #I was ALWAYS rooting for him #I always wanted them to be a couple #and it was a little bi of me to sort of weirdly see things through his eyes??
