I imagine Vasco and Ludovica have a big painting (portrait but with two people) in Vasco's house (probably his father insisted of getting one of these, people used to do it in the old days, especially wealthy ones). While it's very serious and formal, in the way all these portraits were, it is also very intimate (at least it's implications). I imagine Machete just staring at it sometimes, feeling small while looking at the big painting. And sad, maybe jealous but I don't think he'd resent Ludovica. He, most of all, understands.

.

#I have a feeling he doesn't visit Vasco's estate that often #the situation is crystal clear to him and everyone involved is on the same page #but he can't help feeling like an intruder in their home #it reminds him of what he can't have and makes him fear he will never measure up to Vasco's lawfully wedded wife #he's petty and insecure and watching the two play off each other so naturally still puts a pit in his stomach #he doesn't resent Ludovica on a rational level he thinks she's a smart brave and overall quite likable person in fact #but can't really relax in her presence either #plus even though she's friendly and welcoming she can be kind of assertive and candid and Machete tends to read that negatively #answered #anonymous #Vaschete scenarios #Vaschete lore #I don't think they interact often (why would they) but he could have a distant but courteous relationship with Ludovica's partner #if they ended up alone in a room they might eventually have a few sparse and impersonal intercharges #and maybe feel a sense of lukewarm kinship and understanding even though they don't know each other

One underdiscussed aspect of the bone-deep lack of mutual understanding during the nieyao stairs scene is that Nie Mingjue doesn't know - and can't know - what he's actually asking of Jin Guangyao. Not because he doesn't understand how his father treats him, or how tenuous his position is. But because he has no clue Xue Yang is a demonic cultivator.

Remember: Nie Mingjue is still alive, which means the position of chief cultivator doesn't exist yet and Jin Guangshan is facing heavy pushback for suggesting it. Most of that is coming from a fear that the Jin will try to become the next Wen. So having an outer disciple murder an entire clan and then not even punish him properly? This is a collosally bad move politically! You might as well be waving a red flag around yelling "I want to kill other sects with impunity!" There's a reason that years in the future, the moment Jin Guangyao becomes acting sect leader, he will immediately order Xue Yang's death (He doesn't actually die, either by accident or on purpose on jgy's part. But the point is that as far as the public is concerned he had Xue Yang executed.)

From Nie Mingjue's perspective, Jin Guangshan just shot himself in the foot politically for some random outer disciple. It's morally wrong, but it's also incredibly fucking stupid. In his eyes, he is asking Jin Guangyao to do the glaringly obvious right thing, even when exclusively looking at the Jins' self-interest. The thing that surely everyone else in the Jin also wants Jin Guangshan to do! Jin Guangyao can say that he has no influence on his father all he wants, but it is obvious how much work he does and so, as much as his father may not respect him, he clearly at least trusts Jin Guangyao's competence. Nie Mingjue has already tried shouting directly at Jin Guangshan during the trial and it seemed to work, but then Jin Guangshan went back on his decision like a complete idiot. So now Nie Mingjue is asking the guy who is famous for being good at rhetoric and convincing people to convince his donkey of a father to do the obviously correct thing with minimal downsides because again, to Nie Mingjue, this is all about some random outer disciple. It makes sense to ask this! It's a pretty reasonable request! Jin Guangshan can't possibly care that much.

Except of course he does. Because Xue Yang isn't some random outer disciple. He's the only good shot Jin Guangshan has at recreating the yin tiger tally. And Jin Guangshan reaaaaaally wants the yin tiger tally. So bad that he is fully willing to tank an ungodly amount of political goodwill to get it. Jin Guangyao is fully aware that not only will Jin Guangshan never kill Xue Yang, he isn't planning on keeping him locked up either. In fact, after Nie Mingjue is dead, he'll free Xue Yang and strongarm Chang Ping into denying the guilt of his family's murderer. Jin Guangshan cares a lot about keeping Xue Yang in his employ.

And Jin Guangyao knows this. But he can't tell Nie Mingjue that! Because then he'd have to admit they've been doing demonic cultivation. That the fucking ghost geneal is in their basement. That, oopsie, they actually also killed a whole other entire clan just a while ago after framing their sect leader for an assasination attempt and then used their bodies as fodder to make more fierce corpses. You know, in case one mass murder wasn't enough!

So obviously he's not gonna say that. Which means Nie Mingjue has no idea what he's demanding from Jin Guangyao, and therefore no idea why he absolutely can't fullfill that request.

I get why it's not mentioned very often because there are a lot of other problems which are both more obvious and more fun to talk about. (Who doesn't love a little overcomplicated trolley problem?) But I think it adds just another layer to the chasm between them in this scene. They're not just disagreeing, they're having completely different conversations.

#mdzs #mdzs meta #obviously there are like 50 other issues plus saber disease packed on top of this #which is what makes it go so catastrophically wrong #but this is one aspect of that i don't see mentioned very often #nie mingjue #jin guangyao #meng yao #i call nmj calling for xy's head 'reasonable' here. obviously it only is if you believe in the death penalty which i don't #but everyone in mdzs does so... yeah if xue yang really was just a random disciple this'd be a petty reasonable thing to ask #but he isn't except jgy can't EXPLAIN that so they're stuck

see ok I don’t think it’s bad who stole the furniture because he didn’t go to f5 and zoom in on himself a billion times

#also a stamp of innocence from foolish is a stamp from me in bbh’s case tbfh #if it is bad I will be extremely surprised. it really does go against all his characters goals rn plus it was so sloppy #if bad had done it there wouldn’t be a damn chair anywhere on the island. he would have been thorough as all get out. his points of #‘ok I didn’t do it but if I did-‘ when he runs into a chair are so fair because yeah! this is so true!! #if he was gonna be petty and throw a shitstorm furniture stealing tantrum to go against forever or whatever he would have gone 100% all in #he would have gone so far in it would have been fucking crazy of him to find some of the furniture he’d be stealing #anyways I don’t got real money on anyone rn I’m leaning towards pac and richas tho #maybe willyrex? I doubt it though he’s going around planting mines totally different MO rn #mcyt #qsmp #bbh #z speaks

Fully back on my bullshit but the fighter jet call…the red wire being prominent and right in front of Eddie’s face, but being interrupted right before clipping it and told he has to first deal with the other piece, then being told he’s supposed to cut the green wire instead when it’s back more out of the way, and ultimately he has to cut the red wire anyway because that was “obviously” the correct choice…yeah…yeah…

#chapel for ts #I’ll take ‘missing what’s right in front of you’ Buddie themes for $500 #plus what feels like subtle petty shots at network interference in prior seasons #like…the way he was a flick of his fingers away from cutting the correct wire and someone goes NO NO WAIT NOT YET #and then goes back to it again only for NO NO WAIT CHANGED MY MIND #does that not sound like the last three seasons in a nutshell

Tim’s done a great job of introducing Marisol says Ryan - yes he saw how bad her acting was and gave her as little screen time as possible while still having her there 🤭🤭🤭

#whist giving Shannon more screen time #and introducing her in the midst of the loudest most queer buddie scenes we’ve had since the poker date (and these were louder) #I’m not petty but I am - she can’t act and is a terrible human #plus I’m expecting conflict with Chris to come up because they’ve been dating what a couple of weeks and he’s already introduced them?!!! #what are you doing Eddie my man - did you learn nothing from dating ana?! #even without my fandom buddie goggles on I can tell you that it’s the perfect introduction to someone we’re not lent to care about #like the ga aren’t gonna give two hoots about her #so it was the perfect introduction- Ryan you’re right #911 spoilers #eddie diaz

It just makes me laugh at the not so subtle shade towards KR and pointing out what many of us have been saying for years. I mean come on ABC you can fix this, do better. By also stating how the quality of the show has gone under once she took over without directly naming her. But also knowing that everyone who follows the show somewhat closely will know it’s about her.

#anyway I love the pettiness because she deserves it #she took everything we love about the show and just meh it all up #and I’m not only blaming her #it’s tim fault for a lot of reason especially seeing how he handles LS #and yes this is about buddie but it’s not solely about them even though they are a major part of it #911 fox #911 abc #911 #buddie #eddie diaz #evan buckley #buckley diaz family #buck x eddie #oliver stark #ryan guzman #and the cast even saying in s5 how the show is different and not the same #and that wasn’t cause of Covid because we are s4 and well yeah #they said it was different not bad in so many words #plus Aisha and Ryan literally making fun of the finale script in her live says all we need to know #aisha hinds #angela bassett #peter krause #etc #also say it with me fire KR now!

So one of the biggest things I've taken from this is that Reigen Arataka could not beat Light Yagami in a verbal spar because Reigen is only ever able to out-argue reasonable adults

#light is childish and petty and stubborn #plus hes better at being passive aggressive than reigen lmao #but mostly reigens just looking at this festering void of matyred arrogance and desperate self-righteous coping mechanisms like #wtf am i supposed to do with that??? you think murder is okay as long as its YOU doing it??? #death note #yagami light #reigen arataka #mob psycho 100 #the mob psychos

[duncanor]

Unpopular opinion but Legato should not have been introduced in season 1 of Stampede.

#dunkar rant #trigun #Trigun stampede #legato bluesummers #Listen he's one of my specialest blorbo #HOWEVER #His introduction is botched and his screentime minimal #His behavior in episode 6 to 7 is incomprehensible to me #Like I know Legato isn't above petty vengeance #That's part of his thing sure #But with Zazie on board? And Livio??? #Plus why making Legato focus on Wolfwood #Hmmm #They probably will develop this further in season 2 #However as it stand now it's weird 👀 #I'm not really liking the religious zealot vibe either so far #But that might be an emphasis on his younger side so I will let it go.. FOR NOW 😤😤

[dirty-bear-rick-sanchez]

I can’t believe that Rick canonically had a slap fight with an old man because he was jealous that Summer wanted to spend time with him

Like it 100% sounds like the sort of thing we would make up for a funny post on here but nope… canon

Edit: for some reason the order of the pictures is a bit fucked up but I can’t be bothered to fix it lol, sorry

#rick and morty #rnm #rick sanchez #summer smith #mr needful #rick is such a petty and dramatic manchild and i love it #honestly as much as s1 has its bad moments (such as the r word conversation in this very episode 😬) i love the way it portrays rick #like it’s very apparent that he’s jealous and needy and just bullshitting his way through life #he feels much more… human? if that makes sense #like yeah there’s a lot of fun stuff with the whole ‘smartest man in the universe’/god complex stuff #but it’s also nice when he’s just a man who’s very good at science and a massive dumbass in all other areas of life #honestly he’s much more emotionally vulnerable to the audience #like we see him here being insecure and needing summer’s approval #and later on in the episode when he’s very clearly lonely and bored alone in the house #and greets morty too enthusiastically and then corrects himself to try and seem cool #again i was really struck by how… nice he was in meeseeks and destroy after morty shouted at him #even before he realised what had happened to morty #(i know he was an asshole before that but still) #plus the citadel episode has him crying over his memories of morty #i think i just have a mental image of s1 based on the ‘anti-pc’ jokes and dudebro perceptions of it #so i forget what it’s actually like #i mean don’t get me wrong there are definitely a lot of extremely cringeworthy ‘anti-pc’ jokes #but rick is actually much more human in s1 #also i find it so funny in this episode that at the end rick and summer actually work out #rather than rick just using some sort of technology to make them jacked #like i know they use steroids #but the fact that they actually went to all that effort cracks me up #also i would say this is the first episode where rick and summer start to actually develop their own interesting dynamic #which i love

Hakuba seems to notice something about what KID and Conan are doing, but can he really tell the nature of what is going on there?

Also side note but honestly if Hakuba is gonna put his hand on Conan's mouth to try to shut him up like that, then he should expect to fucking get bit. It's what I'd do for that level of disrespect.

#Detective Conan #Magic Kaito #Mun Post #but then I loathe the idea of people touching me without permission #and also would rankle severely at the idea that someone would try to shut me up like that #he's treating him like a child; which; for all that he LOOKS like one; he very much is Not #plus I don't even think you should treat a child like that; no matter how badly a noisy child may grate on my nerves in a public place #thinking something bc you're irritated and at your limit is one thing; Doing something bc you're irritated is quite another #idk I'm just tired and maybe a little overheated atm so even the idea of this annoys me #to the point of wistfully imagining acts of petty rage and violence

[dol-dee]

Hm I would love to continue Dee's dol journey and play it more but I feel like I’m starting to run out of stuff

#atm I’m mostly thinking about it and not really playing it much anymore #i know there’s still a lot I haven’t done but I hadn’t expected that the content for the LIs would run out so quickly #now tbf I still have Kylar to explore but I’m just not that I to them so their whole.. thing (gestures vaguely) will happen when it happens #actually I’m being unfair I only mean Sydney when I say that #..and Avery #cause I know you can basically romance everyone without consequences but: #i ​wont ever romance Robin bc I’d like to uphold that personal moral for Dee #Kylar will happen when it happens but I unfortunately didn’t click with them as much as I had hoped #Eden didn’t do much for me < also unfortunately and unexpectedly #im kinda working on Alex but imma be honest the whole farm/wren thing is really tedious #although I’m slowly working on it #and then Whitney…. I’m tempted but also my petty ass doesn’t want to let them win #plus i feel like it would be somewhat ooc for Dee #yeh she doesn’t hate him as much anymore bc there’s bigger fish to deal with now but he hasn’t really changed his behavior at all #again I would be on Whitney if I could retaliate and not let myself be dragged around like a chew toy #dol rambles #ah i forgor the woods and the hawk. so I’ve tried the wolves in one run it was okay but the ongoing 10+ wolf sex encounters tire me out #<not like that

Things I have learned from HW2:

I need to make Moon +110% more giggly, and Sun +110% more sassy

#my writing probably wont actually change that much lmao #i like/have my reasons for how i wrote them both #sun im actually quite proud of #sometimes hes huffy and petty and anxious af #sometimes hes sweet and excitable and gentle #then moon isnt actually really acting like himself! hes just traumatized as shit and has a massive guilt complex on top of that #but sometimes you see the gremlin shine through sgshjsns #plus the sappiness and the shyness and the flustered playfulness #also that time he got super pissed at william sgksjsjsks #i hc moon as being very slow to anger #but threaten children or the people he cares about and its OVER hes gonna hunt your ass down #dj rambles #hw2 spoilers #help wanted 2 spoilers

[madwheelerz]

Mike and Will both had crushes on Lucas at the same time and Mike pretends he did not. He's the epitome of 'it didn't happen'.

#byler #boyfriends with the same taste #lmao #byclair #wheelclair #him and max plus being the same person fr #mike is petty and this is why he sometimes antagonizes lucas

[yenforfairytales]

Do you think Terry would enjoy being married? Is that something he ever wanted? I know he never did get married in canon but like... who could he trust?? His own girlfriend in CK laughed at the idea. Ouch.

My Silverusso heart thinks he'd love every nuance that comes with being a husband and marriage. And we know Daniel is awesome at it. And while I don't ship Cobra Husbands-- I mean--

Terry has always wanted unconditional love(although at this point maybe he doesn't think it exists). Complete unwavering loyalty and someone tied to him forever. Is that not a marriage??

It should sound perfect to a guy like him. And while he might regret not having children in terms of legacy, I wonder if he regrets not building a life with someone over the years too. Or maybe he was content alone.

But he sure does treat every rejection like he's being divorced.

A Silver Scorned.

#plus Kreese feels like the kind of guy that would discourage his friend from getting married #and i imagine when Terry and Daniel fight they get really petty and mess with each other #kreese: he threw all your clothes over the balcony? because you chased him around the house with a spider? #terry: after he put itching powder on my dick yea. don't worry. i put all the cups on the top shelf and hid his step stool. #kreese: this is healthy? #terry: i don't have time to explain the intricacies of marriage to you. #the only solution is for Kreese to join the fray #suddenly krilverusso #it's sneaky like that #terry silver #daniel larusso #john kreese #silverusso #cobra husbands #krilverusso #my post

Sentinel after retiring from the Magnus position:

#lmao season 4 was goofy and not in a good way #like they really had him act even more evil than he already was(nt) to the point it looked OOC even for him #sentinel: after all these years I finally get the job of my dreams! #also sentinel: has to go through piles of paperwork; boring meetings; LOTS of responsibilties he is clearly not fit for #not to mention having to listen to random autobot problems which is actually very petty timewasting nonsense #oh did i mention he gets stalked by fanbots; he accepts the attention at first but gradually gets annoyed bc they wont leave him alone #they even sneak into his private quarters while he's unarmored/tryin to sleep 😬 #like its too much attention even for HIM & by the end of the season he practically BEGS for someone else to take over #yep season 4 in my verse is basically Consequences: The Series #honestly sentinel realizing that power&status is not all that cracked up to be is a far more fitting punishment #plus it actually could serve as a catalyst for his redemption; seeing how neither Ultra Magnus nor Optimus are there to coddle him #transformers animated #meme #sentinel prime
