Just a note...I'm not judging on here. We all have done it, Passive Aggression...but over all it isn't a nice thing to project onto someone.

When it comes to being a creator, I am putting work out there that a lot of people may not like. And I get it and I respect that.

But if a blogger reads content they do not enjoy, just stop reading and scroll to the next post. Why personally take the time to say a mean comment? Or in regards to Passive Aggression, why say something in a cryptically off putting way? What do you gain there?

Doing unnecessarily cruel things to others isn't strength. Kindness is the only way to proceed in life, I really think that. The world is in chaos because we can't just leave other people to their own personal choices...we can't just accept that someone has a different perspective.

And I understand when it comes to bigotry, we must stand up and correct that behavior immediately. But I'm talking about blogs that have nonharmful content of expression.

I like this quote from Keanu Reeves, "I don't want to be part of a world that considers kindness as weakness."

Please, be kind. We all want security, support and peace of mind. Let's do that not just for ourselves, but for everyone.

idk if this is accurate but i’ve felt like in previous seasons riz & gorgug have been one of the inter-bad kids dynamics we’ve seen the least of & this season has been so great in that aspect. gorgug having helped make some of riz’s magic gear. riz helping gorgug with his studies. the shared birthday party. gorgug’s gift to riz being something he himself made to protect riz. riz’s gift to gorgug being something he illegally grabbed to protect gorgug. gorgug who utilizes rage to put his body on the line for his friends & riz who will take deep levels of mental stress for his friends. even though it was within the context of a joke, riz calling gorgug an “absolute sweetie.” like yea they might not be in a band together or both part of a presidential campaign team or owlbears teammates, but they’d go to war for each other, because they’re best friends.

#riz gukgak #gorgug thistlespring #fantasy high #dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #these kids are all so self-sacrificing but i do think riz gorgug are the most clear (& juxtaposed) self-sacrificers #riz will mentally tear himself to pieces and get lost in cases and take on ungodly levels of stress for those he loves #gorgug will use himself as a human shield. he will take hit after hit if it means his friends are okay. #and they’d both do the other thing too. riz would let himself get hit for gorgug. gorgug would pull all nighters & take stress for riz. #even if mechanically they can’t or it wouldn’t make sense. they would if they could. #also #the starstruck barry mechanic of being a guard is so gorgug. it’s soooo gorgug like that’s literally him #anyways love this tall green guy & this short green guy so much #especially because gorgug is tall & considered intimidating but protective in a deeply kind way #while riz is short & underestimated but protective in a deeply vicious way (affectionate) #i hope this makes sense but i think riz is primarily ‘i would kill for you’ & gorgug is primarily ‘i would die for you’ maybe #this does not mean gorgug would not kill for riz or riz would not die for gorgug. they both would. #but those are the primary ways their love manifests due to the nature of their strengths/personalities. To Me #idk this is all just me saying stuff when i should be sleeping 😭 #sorry if i missed a riz gorgug moment in the main post btw i’m tired

watching the sdcc panel and i am just very :) about how sweet their answers to “what are some of the micro moments from the game that have stuck with you the most over the years?” are. taliesin saying what the fuck is up with that which was the first like The Party Gets To Know Each Other moments of c3. travis saying asking his wife if he could kiss her in campaign. marisha going way back to the cannonball competition in campaign one. ashley choosing the beauyasha date but also just the silly goat noise matt made. liam adding onto that to compliment matt roleplaying grass so well and then saying his favourite moment was writing a story for laura and reading it to her as caleb for jester. and then matt saying that was his answer, and that his favourite moments of the game are when they find ways to give gifts to each other whether tangible or not. and sam saying his favourite moments have less to do with the story and is more so when he can just. see his friends across the table from him. when marisha perches and when laura and ashley are (badly) drawing dicks and liam saying he loves when sam sneezes and ashley tells him to stop it and just. yeah. they Are an extremely popular online powerhouse, but i’m so happy that they’re also friends building a world together out of gifts to and love for one another.

like i Am so enamoured with the characters and the world of exandria but the moments when you can feel the love that those people have for each other reach out from behind the stained glass of their performances (to steal a metaphor from brennan lee mulligan) are so extremely special and i am endlessly grateful that they decided to share their silly little home game with the world.

#it’s just the. laura and travis’ characters always being supportive of one another when they’re facing hardship #taliesin and marisha consistently making characters who challenge one another and still protect each other relentlessly #all of them being so fond of ashley’s characters always and literally seeing them light up in c1 episodes when ash got to join in person #sam and liam always making characters who offer one another reprieves into kindness that they don’t always get in the campaign setting #liam making orym after falling in love with keyleth as vax #marisha making laudna after matt’s storytelling with delilah and choosing vex as her body double #ashley using ‘i would like to rage’ and matt having kord ask her where she finds her strength #laura and matt always weaving these deeply complicated and emotional interactions between a daughter and a father #the gasps and yells and clapping when matt makes cool sound effects or reveals a map or breaks/ends on a cliff hanger #them ending both campaign 1 and 2 with ‘what a great/nice story’ and travis saying ‘let’s do it again!’ #and it’s like. yes yes i love the comics and i’m a fan of tlovm but . seeing this well produced thing that somehow mimics #the feeling i get sitting in my living room laughing with my roommates about my ranger’s giant rat failing to climb stairs #it’s very special it’s very sweet #critical role #sdcc 2023 #taliesin jaffe #travis willingham #marisha ray #ashley johnson #liam o’brien #matthew mercer #laura bailey #sam riegel #cr cast #critical role cast #my posts

@gontagokuhara-week Day 1 - protector / gentleman

V3-4's tricky for me to talk about for one or two reasons, but one thing I can say is that Gonta intentionally throwing away his dream of being a gentleman - something he ties everything about himself around - in order to protect everyone from the truth... to me that's one of the most underrated yet coolest things in V3.

It's still technically his birthday where I am, but this feels a smidge dark for that, so there's a more celebratory birthday variant of this on my twitter!

(I can only do a bit of Gonta Gokuhara Week, but I should hopefully have some stuff for the last two or three days ^^)

#danganronpa #gonta gokuhara #own art #i don't mean to say he's morally right for his actions in 3-4 #but i admire his resolve to take drastic action to try and make things better #there's a kind of strength there that makes me think “wow Gonta's one of the coolest DR characters actually” #also... it's been a while orz #i know i've missed at least one callout - sorry!! #the last time i posted... ooof

and how extensive was this practice

#bnha #tw spoilers #canon compliant AU where kudou and bruce passed OFA back and forth like a hot potato #because they needed to figure out (1) incubation period #(2) methods that work (sex included) #and (3) what kind of strength it stockpiled #bruce: you’re ABSOLUTELY sure you felt this secondary factor after yoichi died #kudou: yes bruce my god what’s the issue #bruce: well i don’t know if you know but some sexually transmitted illnesses don’t manifest until #kudou: IT IS NOT.

I just wanna say I'm so glad they didn't make Ruby get back together with Otis or have her accept his pathetic friendship offer after the way he treated her all season like, she deserves so much better. And it's time she realised that. Periodt.

#I mean I like Otis and all but he was such a dickhead to Ruby all season and that girl deserves the world #she was kind to him even though she knew he never had feelings for her and probably never will #that takes a tremendous amount of STRENGTH #I just wanna give my girl a hug #she's been through it #sex education season 4 #sex education #ruby matthews #otis milburn #maeve wiley #adam groff #eric effiong #jackson marchetti

I can't stop thinking about just how emblematic everything in those conversations of Ashton being "a child" are of how, even at her most beaten down, triggered and traumatized, Laudna is not and will not be what Delilah wants her to be.

For Delilah, "they're still a child" is dismissive, a bit derisive, but doesn't even merit being truly hateful. She doesn't find Ashton worth the attention Laudna is giving them, not when there are such more interesting, important things to pull the attention of an adult. Children are only important when they are useful. She will indulge Laudna on the subject, because Laudna is useful, is her vehicle for action in the world, but she only cares about it in the context of getting Laudna to do what she wants. Calling someone a child is calling them unimportant. (Laudna is a child to her)

But for Laudna, who loves children and who understands intimately what it's like to have the helplessness of child, to be trapped under the authority of someone who will never treat you as a full person, even when they are being ostensibly kind, to be so confused and lost and powerless...a child deserves attention more than anyone else. Of course children lash out. Being a child IS in many ways quite awful because the world is so big around you and you don't know yet how to react to any of it, how to soothe yourself - and if you aren't given the attention, you never learn how. Ashton never learned how. Her instincts - instincts trained into her by manipulation and abuse from inside and the world around her - may say kill him, but she fights them the whole way because her heart is stronger and her heart says that the angriest, most volatile child needs care as much as any other. More, even.

Laudna hears Delilah call Ashton a child and agrees on the word, but they have diametrically opposed understandings of what that means, and diametrically opposed instincts on how to treat a child. Laudna doesn't want to hurt anyone, especially children. She loves children. She loves so much and so selflessly. And Delilah is so very very good at manipulating her but she has tried for 30 years to change the bedrock of Laudna's psyche, the truer thing that drives her beyond the base animal instincts of survival, and it hasn't worked.

#critical role spoilers #critical role #cr meta #laudna #delilah briarwood #g o d I love her so much #she is so GOOD #and like I was so very worried for her at the break but #I keep forgetting and underestimating her #her strength may not look the same as other peoples' #it may be hidden under her traumatized confusion and twitchy fear but #it is there #she is so very strong #her victories aren't huge and showy but they don't need to be #can't be maybe in a war of attrition inside her own head #but after 30 years she is STILL THERE. STILL HERSELF. STILL KIND. #FUCK #I gotta go lie down on the floor about it #no wonder Imogen loves her so much honestly #she knows how hard it is to keep yourself good and kind in the face of a constant onslaught #I know its jokes but like. yeah. she would be a saint to Imogen. #st laudna real not clickbait

Atsushi canonically isn't kind by nature (see Wan ch. 19), but that's okay because you don't have to be motivated by kindness to choose kindness, which is why Atsushi is the narrative's beautiful princess with a disorder anyway.

#bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd atsushi #atsushi's brilliance is absent inherent meaning and kindness and bravery he chooses those things anyway #it his strength and why he's the protagonist #and why his role in the narrative is so so so salvific #it's also a theme in his irl works #if you dont have meaning or kindness at home storebought is fine
