Thinking about step 9 and the whole concept of forgiveness of one’s self and others and it bringing healing and how bobby and Eddie have been paralleled a fair amount and the idea that Eddie started this process back at the end of s5 with his forgiveness and acceptance of his father but how he hasn’t yet gone anywhere near his mother and their relationship .

How his catholic guilt storyline seems more likely to play on his reltionship with his mother than his father (if his father wasn’t around that much it would’ve been Helena taking him to church etc each week) so the idea of an Eddie - Helena storyline that plays on catholic guilt and potentially his queerness in relation to that has me chewing on glass - it could be so epically good

#I’ve always viewed Helena as the biggest issue in Eddie’s relationship with his parents - Ramon has always - to me a least always seemed to #just go along with what Helena wants or dictates #it made sense with how his trauma ptsd army related arc played out that it was Ramon who was the centre of that #now though - catholic guilt - possibly playing into his queerness and suppression of that queerness #to keep some kind of reltionship with his mother - who only seems to view him through a lens of failure #leading him down a road where he wasn’t able to be his true self - it would be so powerful #there is so much potential there #eddie saying his mother wasn’t an issue in s6 - was such a choice and so pointed that they have to be wanting to explore that #so many aspects of who Eddie is and why he is the way he is - his want to nest but not being able to with women - stems from his mommy #issues and the fact he’s been denying they exist #I will eat it up - it would be the right kind of angst for the show and Ryan would deliver #plus the way it parallels with Bobby and his relationship with Catholicism would be fascinating #not to mention the whole Eddie not having a relationship with the faith he was brought up in only to start dating someone who is a literal #embodiment of that faith - and female - as a symbol of his needing to explore and reconcile the actual reasons for his faith lapsing- become #could not be queer and Latino and catholic when Eddie was growing up - it wasn’t an option - so if you step away from the faith that’s #denying a fundamental aspect of who you are #even if you still can’t act upon it - ​it is easier to keep that part of you concealed #911 spoilers #911 Thinky thoughts #eddie diaz #I need this arc to be a thing so badly #911 abc

Patalliro! is fascinating to me because of stuff like this. It's unapologetically gay - even within its anime which aired during primetime hours in 1982 - in a way that many later BL manga would never be, like the ones from the early 2000s which would never dare to call their characters actual homosexuals. Patalliro has actually aged quite well in this regard, there's something comforting about how campy it is.

#i still dont really understand how they got away with this kind of thing honestly #female VAs i get that - but first m/m kiss in an anime in episode THREE????? #theres also the maraich/thomas episode where they are *Both* voiced by women....advanced yuri #patalliro #i love how bancorans gender expression is pretty much explicitly to attract only bishounen #you blushed - so you must not be a girl #etc #i also love how joyful it all is #theres never anything sad or tragic about being gay - only that bancoran is forced to kill the bishounen spies/assassins/etc #when bancoran finds out that gay sex feels good after demian; in the manga he is elated. its basically a positive thing #he awakens to his true power...lol #also notable is that while bishounen youth is glorified maraich is still 18. #besides making the show more palatable; this means it portrays being gay as an adult as normal #according to the NYT japan's psychiatric body called homosexuality a mental illness until 1995 #im not going to say patalliro changed that or anything lmao but its just significant to me that banmara get to live their lives happily #especially contrasting that with kaze to ki no uta and other manga of the time (no shade intended) #yaoi #<- for tagging purposes #obviously it also got away with a lot by being a gag manga. but still! #months later edit: want to say im not intending to moralize BL manga from the 2000s either. like gen. no hate on them. #as a gay person i just appreciate when characters who act gay are considered gay textually #and its kind of disheartening how gay-as-identity was treated as something incredulous in those manga a lot of the time #even the mere suggestion of attraction to men as a whole and not just the other male lead...yknow

some sketches for an old au of mine, where Maeglin survives Gondolin and flees from Morgoth’s forces hunting him. He has a run in with the Feanorians in one of the elven cities and is recognized as an Angband thrall/spy. To save his own life, he bargains with his ability to recreate Angrist and to share what plans of Morgoth’s he’d been privy to.

Vibes partly inspired by this track from Rurouni Kenshin

#mie.txt #been watching two shows back to back where the female lead is not only insufferable but so is her choice in men #as are all the other side characters' boyfriends #its crazy to see just how terrible a man's influence on writing women is #bc it's not even in women its in how they take back men that are the worst that are bad for them #and how hes always forgiven and grows but she doesnt #im not usually a movie watcher either but ive been using them to time my studying and GOD male directors are the worst too? #its so strange to think about because yeah men as a class are so intentionally sinister when theyre in power #but also so blissfully unaware when theyre subject to the influence of those in power that they end up (accidentally?) gaslighting everyone #else around them #idk idk idk idk idk #idk boys in real life can be and are so cute when theyre in love #theyre so so so cute #so why is that so hard to translate on screen #or like... why the unwillingness to do so???? #anyway...... hiiiiii im finished w my semester does anyone wanna talk about levi and gojo 😁😁

You know, what I really love about the show is that it never frames Galadriel as right!

She's impulsive, abrasive, manipulative, and selfish. She's so focus on her revenge that she doesn't realize what's really happening around her. She's chasing a ghost and she ends up creating her own enemy.

But that's what makes her character so compelling. She's far from perfect. She's human. And she's suffering. She's lost the people she loves and she doesn't know how to cope with that!

No, the show doesn't glorify war, doesn't think that Galadriel's revenge is rightful.

What the show does is to show a human being that went through hell and is learning how to survive that. This revenge is the only thing that keeps her going. She needs it... And that's the whole point. For a moment she even thinks to accept Sauron's proposals. To let the darkness in means to ease her pain, it means relief.

Galadriel is at the beginning of her journey to become what we see in the end of Lord of the Rings and I'm glad we get to see it...

#I have many thoughts about Galadriel #Her character is an unicorn in a world of female leads who are not allowed to be imperfect #She reminds of Wynonna earp #Let women be imperfect! #the rings of power #lotr rings of power #rings of power #amazon rings of power #trop #rop #saurondiel #haladriel #galadriel

kuukou sending this to ichiro after ichiro spent five hours crying about the death of a second romance lead in a light novel to him over the phone lmao

#vee queued to fill the void #ichiro: *pleasantly surprised he got a gift from kuukou suddenly* 😲❗️😄🥰😄🥰 #ichiro: *opens gift and spends the next 30 minutes weighing the pros and cons of blocking and deleting kuukou’s number* 😠😡😠😡 #lmao i think ichiro would have bad second male/female lead syndrome #like he’ll be going thru the biggest emotional roller coasters where some high school chick is too into an emotionally unavailable teenager #and then quietly btch to himself ‘second ml would never treat her like this 😭😭😭’ LOL #or some male power fantasy isekai ln he’s reading has a dumb love angle and the endgame is clearly between the pair that always bickers #and ichiro questions ‘aren’t they tired of all that???’ 😞 #and rooting for either second leads typically ends in misfortune because second male lead-kun suddenly died in a car crash #and second female lead-chan valiantly sacrificed her life for the world lmao #which means he calls kuukou to vent lmao #and kuukou out of the goodness of his heart offers to preside over the funerals of ichiro’s oshis LOL

Me: *hears the line "Fine, make me your villain" for the first time watching the trailer*

Me: Oh that sounds cool and badass. Is it about a good/morally grey character forced to be a vigilante to protect innocents or those he loves? Then I'm intereste-

The Darkling: *is an abusive grooming 400yo+ pos that seduced a naive and isolated 17yo orphan so she would obey him and he could exploit her powers for his own goals like mass murder and world domination*

*says this line after being confronted by the ones he assaulted and called out on his fucked up deeds/goals/means*

Me: Ah

Me: Then no 😀

#shadow and bone #grisha verse #anti darklina #anti darkling #rambling into the void #imagine my disappointement #i was like Oh! a new fantasy serie with a powerful female lead! and the plot seems orginal and intestesting! #and then. Bam. this guy. just makes me wanna puke

Do you remember what I said to you? I said, What on earth can you do on this earth but catch at whatever comes near you, with both your hands, until your fingers are broken? I'd never said that before, or even consciously thought it, but afterwards it seemed like the truest thing that my lips had ever spoken, what on earth can you do but catch at whatever comes near you and hold onto it until your fingers are broken . . .

tennessee williams, orpheus descending

#i saw an honestly not very good production of this last night #but it was saved by a beautiful performance from the female lead and the sheer dark loveliness and brutal power of the play itself #that tennessee williams guy.... he had some ideas #anyway. i checked out the internet archive's pdf copy bc i couldn't stop thinking about this line #vibes

Ragoru

By: S.J. Sanders

Monster Scale

Level 04: Actual Monster (Physically)

Werewolf men with four arms, eyes, and two dicks.

My Overall Rating For The Book

"I Bought The Book/Series And Want Them Signed Please Holy Shit"

The Ragoru stories continue with a super, super prequel! Hundreds of years in the past from Red (the first story in the series). Humanity has just started loosing access to their technology, but our leading lady is on a mission to help a far off mining town with a mysterious monster problem. On the way she's found by a lone Ragoru, then two more follow along. Adventures ensue.
