#such an emotionally charged scene

[taraxacum-vulpes]

Since you're starting orv I want you to know that absolutely no one in the story is okay everyone is mentally ill in some way. Godspeed my liege 👍

i think being forced to kill people and value your life above others kinda does that to you gnna be real with you chief.

#if i were in orv i would've died in the first scenario #0 survival instincts if survival is at the cost of others EVEN IF bugs were involved #i sigh wistfully #i do feel sad that gilyoung is already so comfortable with the prospect of killing people and on one hand i don't want him to be exposed to #that but on the other hand he's. proving himself capable and there's nothing i can really do about that fact #...partially also because i have no influence on the story. #however i do appreciate the writing and characterisation and the way that they frame everything in perspective #and still have moments where they feel human despite being a little (lot) fucked up #i sigh. heart emoting death games in media #pieces of media that remind me of that one post referencing how the setting and characterisation made three girls running down the street #such an emotionally charged scene #i shake you #i begin sobbing #orv livebloggery

thought i'd use that earlier draw for a tomione reimagining of goblet of fire :)

re-watching goblet of fire for the umpteenth time and that scene of hermione sobbing on the stairs in the halls of hogwarts whilst her friends are contentedly slow-dancing the remainder of the yule ball away always gets me cuz it low-key makes me think of a sad cinderella subversion (she has her slippers but no prince to follow after her) and i wish someone was there to pick her up queue 5th-year slytherin prefect tom riddle

#tomione #tom riddle #hermione granger #tom veers in and takes advantage of an emotionally-charged fallout between friends 😔 and he has ulterior motives ofc #yh it’s the juxtaposition of her night concluding on an utterly miserable note on what’s basically hogwart prom night #against the immediate scene of everyone else slow-dancing next door :’) #harry potter #my art

#I know we all love the locker room scene #but this one personally makes me go crazy #you ever think about how close they're always standing to each other in emotionally charged moments?? #you moron #true detective #rust cohle #marty hart #also unpopular (?) opinion I love Rust's busted '02 haircut it's heinous #my art

wash tormenting the reds in the most petty ways possible because he's still pissed off about them hitting him with a car and then blowing him up in s8 is so important to me you don't even understand

#I'm pretty sure I've said it on my old blog before but wash is the blues older brother but to the reds? he's the neighborhood bully lmao #that scene in s13 where wash gets all the chorus soldiers to turn on grif for refusing to attend the training sessions? 100% an act of #calculated cruelty on wash's part lmao #oh oh or in s11 when wash hooked up blue base to the ships power but not the reds? also calculated lol #wash stealing all of their stuff in s10 will also always be a fav petty wash moment of mine #he is out to make them suffer and they're not even aware of it lol #rvb #agent washington #mine #not t/oaru #if i ever write my ct lives au fic I'm going so hard on petty grudge holding wash #he is an absolute menace but he's so lowkey about it that in universe trying to convince ppl that wash is as petty as he is #is nearly impossible #the only ppl aware of wash's true nature are the counselor the director ct alpha and probably maine (and maybe florida) #everyone else sees him in a similar light as his fanon characterization #that's part of the reason why i think lina was so shock in s10 when he turned his gun on her bc to her wash was always so subordinate that #she just genuinely never saw it coming #anyway wash/ct/maine friendship is so important to me. i like to include south in there too sometimes but honestly south comes off as a #loner type. like she doesn't mind ppl but no one except north is really willing to tolerate her uh....personality for long periods of time #shes very....reactive and emotionally charged #but tbh id be that way too if i was stuck with north #north unironically reminds me of my dad but not in the good way lol #god my tags are all over the place #audhd brain goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

what are your thoughts on Madoka and Sayaka's relationship? I always thought it was underrated for how complex and tragic it is.

Madoka and Sayaka's relationship function similarly to that of a knight and a princess, so both their friendship or couple pairing are interesting to me. It seems to be intentional that Sayaka was crafted with a knight motif in mind to click with Madoka's vulnerability. The tragedy is that Sayaka was way too young and inexperienced to be shouldering such expectations in a friendship. Taking up the role of a protector at every turn because she wanted to protect everyone has always been a contributing factor to how fast Sayaka burned out.

Contrarily, Madoka's struggle with her own helplessness throughout the show was also part of the reason why Sayaka said a lot of terrible thing to her, but deeply regretted her actions to the point where she succumbed to Witching out away from Madoka. Madoka, at least in this "final" timeline, was not there to see her own childhood best friend change into something else. To, in a way, "die", and be reborn as the same monster that all magical girls were hunting after in a frenzy. Homura was right that Sayaka brings Madoka grief — it seems that in almost timeline, since Sayaka becomes a Witch as long as she becomes a magical girl unlike Mami or Kyoko, Sayaka is a consistent source of Madoka's grief. Whenever Madoka becomes a magical girl, then, her aspirations are based on Sayaka's sacrifice and ideals, except Madoka actually has the power to "save everyone". I believe Madoka loved Sayaka as Sayaka may not have been an "effective" magical girl, but she was the one who was willing to sacrifice her soul for her ideals, regardless of how naïve they were. To Madoka, who was so ensnared by her sense of uselessness, Sayaka was the closest thing to an idol or a star for the courage required to be a magical girl. Sayaka's desire to make the world a safer and justified place for people was so inspiring to Madoka that even when Madoka becomes Kriemhild Gretchen, the Witch's whole gimmick is "creating heaven on earth, a Witch content only if there is no more grief in existence". A prospect deeply held onto by Madoka that even Gretchen embodies it.

It's probably why Madoka's wish to save all magical girls would definitely sound equally impossible to he audience and the incubators, but Madoka herself says, "If someone says it's wrong to hope, I will tell them that they're wrong every time." Sayaka was often called foolish for her ideals and hopes, and Madoka was the only other person aside from Kyoko who understands Sayaka's struggles so much that she outright tells people that Sayaka was never wrong — this is how Madoka protects Sayaka. Madoka would never want anyone to say any of the magical girls' wishes were wrong or foolish. It was how Sayaka also found her peace at the end of the show: to be understood and not viewed as an object that would eventually be replaced in the cycle of magical girls and Witches.

Madoka and Sayaka eventually learned how to protect each other. Sayaka doesn't need to suffer from her own overbearing expectations anymore, and Madoka can finally be something even more to protect her angel: A God.

#they are so tragic #madoka makes me cry thinking about how she was so compassionate that she never actually hated any of the witches #only ever looking upon them with sadness for what they were even before she knew how Witches were made #it's why i don't like people who claim they love madoka but despise sayaka #like you do understand that Madoka loved sayaka so much she made sayaka her own angel and tells you straight up that it's not wrong to hope #madoka not being unkind to sayaka despite everything is so...makes my heart hurt #Sayaka wasn't evil or selfish she just really wanted to mean a whole lot to someone that mattered #inevitably she was emotionally charged and in that moment she forgot madoka was always there for her and vice versa #which drove her to try and quietly witch out alone in a train station with kyoko #you can say what you wish but Sayaka's ideals were so tragic that both kyoko and madoka were affected by them #and that's the biggest tragedy of it all honestly #madoka scenes make me cry and I'm not kidding she wanted to help so bad #Sayaka Archives #ASKS 💌

watching mindhunter and so far holden seems like a gay autistic people pleaser

#random thoughts #mindhunter #gay because 1. in his relationship with his girlfriend he seems to be very passive and not very emotionally involved #2. in the scene where he's eating her out he says he wants to get it over with as fast as possible (paraphrasing) #autistic because he has like zero social awareness and no ability to detect sarcasm #people pleasing mixes in with the autism because he seems to be trying to say what people want to hear #also why are his scenes with kemper so sexually charged. 'it's hard to fuck a neck' he says while grabbing holden's neck #'why do you keep talking to him about your girlfriend' yeah why ARE you talking to kemper about sex dude #i wouldn't be surprised if he asked his girlfriend to try something ~different~ that night #what even is her name hold on #DEB!!!

This isn't inherently related to last night's episode, but it did feel very present even in absence and I was reminded of it, so:

I talked about this a while ago here, but Caleb and Essek actually communicate astoundingly well, once they are willing to approach each other without imposing their own fears upon them—either because Essek is afraid of being found out or because Caleb is afraid that Essek is too much like himself to be trusted. It's simply that they talk in such a way amongst themselves in particular that those around them (and, frankly, fandom) do not parse it as clear communication, but every time they have any significant engagement after the Nein come back to the outpost, they seem to proceed with the air of having reached an understanding.

And I've talked about that, and you can read the post linked above, but the thought I had about it that I haven't really discussed is that it is a PHENOMENAL choice for playing two assholes at or over 20 Intelligence in a relationship.

They're talking in circles and sounding enigmatic! They're dancing this strange dance about who reaches out when and on what terms! But the thing is, as bewildering as that may seem from the outside, they both give the impression that they understand the other implicitly, because they're operating on very similar wavelengths.

That is their communication. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a level to which that's intentional—what is between them stays between them. Likewise, it felt last night like Caleb did not necessarily want to make whatever their arrangement is known to the rest of the Nein, and that is part of it; they understand each other, and they're comfortable with their relationship at whatever pace and stage they're at, and letting other people know about it or be party to their discussions would allow a level of external scrutiny that they have no interest in.

It's just a really fun choice on a meta level, and it's what makes them insufferable to write, and I absolutely love them for it.

#critical role #cr spoilers #shadowgast #caleb widogast #essek thelyss #cr meta #i was laughing parsing through my meta tag to find the linked post cuz like #man i really only write meta when theres a wizard on screen apparently. #head empty no thoughts unless wizards. #like sorry!!! i just have a lot of feelings about high int characters with former gifted kid complexes! #but anyway i still maintain that the ninth floor scene was on the level of a dtr relationship. #not inherently in the sense that they were then IN a relationship but #they both left that room with a very firm sense of their priorities and how they featured in each other's #they are insufferable to write though this is why if an emotionally charged scene with them isn't working i have to go cut dialogue lol #tbh it's also why imo they get VERY thrown off if the other is hiding something #even down to Caleb having no idea how to parse Essek's loyalties before finding out he was the traitor #like if there's active deception happening they're just [confused white lady surrounded by math.gif]

tbh I really wanted the 3jimas to win that fight, to have Kiryu realize that his actions have consequences and that maaayybeee the people he keeps disappearing on to only reappear briefly to make demands of are finally sick of it and the rose tinted glasses of admiration have come off

no absolutely i really needed kiryu to just. //shakes him//

another thing i really wish we got from IW was daigo going off on kiryu- like he STARTED to but i needed that Y4 shit RIGHT NOW. if Y4 did anything right, it definitely helped broaden daigo's character in how having the chairman title pushed onto him was stressing him out and having him express this to kiryu was SO cathartic, even if daigo's words ultimately mean nothing to kiryu (or at the very least, kiryu did a bad job on understanding daigo's grievances and helping him afterwards)

it really is agitating that the jimas ended up going to the tower anyway too. i get that saejima and majima are kiryu's ex-colleagues and daigo's practically his son, and the fight was supposed to be a 'wake up call' for them. but it just diminishes the anger we saw from daigo in that first scene (and as if i have to say it, daigo becoming angry is a rare thing so that when it does happen its so jarring and it's meant to be serious) and it continues to excuse kiryu's general disregard for others if it means he gets what he wants.

its unfathomable to me that after nearly two decades of holding a position daigo didnt want for the sake of his idol, he finally gets to break away from it. and now his idol's just waltzing back into his life- after acting like he was dead for three years- asking for ANOTHER favor. and daigo's just supposed to accept it. if kiryu wasnt literally dying i just know he'd keep doing this until his last breath and no one would punish him for it because despite how many times he claims to understand daigo's woes, it's evident he doesn't care enough to leave him out of things

#iw spoilers #snap chats #this turned into a daigo rant LMAO SORRY #ALSO INTO A KIRYU HIT PIECE OOPS JLERJALJ #no listen i keep saying it but i genuinely love how much of an asshole kiryu is it makes things really interesting #BUT ITS SO FRUSTRATING WHEN HIS SELFISHNESS DOESNT GET PUSH BACK #like i remember thinking that scene in y3 where mine calls out kiryu was the best scene #i hadnt even played the rest of the series yet but i still knew mine had points about kiryu just pushing problems onto others #and still acting like he's virtuous #BUT THATS A POST FOR ANOTHER DAY ALKJALKJ kiryu ily please stay an asshole who wants to do good #but ultimately sucks at doing good for the people who matter the most to him #let me just ramble more cause when i think of that scene with the jimas its so upsetting #just seeing how daigo's so concerned for kiryu- UGH i need to eat drywall #like aoki's death was one of the only things from this franchise that actively frustrated me #but this whole scene is so agitating too whenever i think hard about it #SORYR FOR THE RAMBLE this was definitely more emotionally charged than i try to make my posts usually #but oopsie </3 i have a lot of feelings ....

cringe is dead and I’m going to be brave about this for a moment. but. I thought too hard about this point in my wip of sidalia not quite confessing their feelings yet but d’alia being more willing to be unguarded with physicality over words and sid being unused to much physical affection and maybe a little touchstarved and the inherent vulnerability of expressing and accepting that intimacy with each other and I am so unwell. anyway

#it’s shaping The Scene (iykyk) into something even more emotionally charged #no wonder alia leaving for kugane is such a difficult time for them after this section #dani.txt #oc: d'alia liveq #alia/sid

I want to write a oneshot where the rest of 2.2 was exactly the same, but they had to take a day's break in Dreamflux Reef while Sunday starts sobbing out of the immense relief of Robin being alive, and takes a bit of time to come to terms with Gallagher and his role. The reunion just didn't do it for me after all the buildup since 2.0.

We could have had Astral Express shenanigans at the same time, discussing Himeko's thoughts on Legwork, Tiernan and Razalina. I love Himeko but her own motivations into looking for clues on the rest of the Nameless felt a little unexplored.

#hsr spoilers #hsr 2.2 spoilers #2.2 spoilers #honkai star rail spoilers #alas i have no motivation to write and no idea how to write emotionally charged scenes #this may be a byproduct of how I rushed through the first half of 2.2's story. didnt give enough time for the emotions to sink in properly

constantly thinking about mountain ghoul who when he's not in his human form is very very tall, like inhumanly tall and it's very obvious. he's just Giant and Big all around.

he has horns that share the resemblance of a great 24-point buck

if he speaks then his voice seems to reverberate around him; it echoes deeply and unnaturally. if he's not too focused on pulling it back in, just the sound of him speaking can cause headaches and ear aches.

just....thinkin about him.

#mountain ghoul #ghoul headcanons #definitely not thinking about him in the context of him wooing copia or anything like that #nope not at all #etc etc etc #definitely not thinking about this bc im writing an emotionally charged copia/mountain scene for this fic at all
