vaggie, miss "im not used to fighting with long hair" who's out of practice actually battling someone or really stabbing ppl...

...still had the arm and hand strength, the REFLEXES, to do a bare handed blade catch on a SWORD, who's user had been doing an aerial dive with it aimed at vaggie's FACE

then sling around and THROW her opponent with it

i know she wants a peaceful-ish life with charlie, but i really wouldn't mind seeing her getting into just a FEW more fights >:D

also also side note: carmilla was able to eff her up earlier so easily bc vaggie fought like an exorcist, no thought to getting hurt or personal defense, the headspace of 'i can't get killed! wheee! DIE DIE DIE' that got that other exorcist killed

and the main advice vaggie got from carmilla was take advantage of that sure, but first and more importantly, defend yourself better

which kinda plays into the whole "be out for love thing" too

aka the fight isn't important, it's what you're fighting to still have Afterwards that matters- the people you love, having a life with them

(the hotel, the hazbins, charlie)

carmilla doesn't send vaggie off with a 'you're ready to go kill angels'. she's only satisfied and ends their little lesson / sparring match when she can say "you might just survive this"

feels like she wasn't teaching vaggie to take out angels. she was reminding her and showing her how NOT to get KILLED

so it's just so nice seeing vaggie blocking, dodging, and grappling lute later. how good she is at focusing on avoiding or neutralizing those attacks aimed at her. how Seriously she takes them

binding lute's both lute's arms and wedging them into her own body so lute's sword CAN'T be angled towards her

the way this shot emphasis's the THREAT of the sword hanging over vaggie

and how her flash-fast recovery and block shows she's READY for it

dodging, not attacking

she's not in this for blood or vengeance, this lady is trying to stay the fuck alive. she's got things and people to live for

things like the idea of mercy. that thing both her and charlie show their enemies, people who came down to hell for murder and spent this fight trying to kill them and got damn close to doing it.

and sure there's a pretty big tone difference between charlie's "Whoa whoa dad. He's had enough" and vaggie's "No, live. Live knowing that you only do because I let you" but both end at the same place, with someone who hates them still getting a second chance

(UNLESS ITS NIFFTY WITH THE ANGELIC BLAAADE)

and vaggie wants that second chance too. she wants a life with charlie, and fights hard so she can stick around for it

epic fail, lute... have you considered getting a hobby...?

#hazbin hotel #vaggie #carmilla carmine #chaggie #lute hazbin hotel #*dreamy sigh* #carmilla as best hell mom im sorry ladies she is So Cool #and the action in that little fight with lute was so fast and brutal #vaggie was clearly using specific BLOCKS and GRAPPLES as well as just clocking lute in the face with the odd radio #she might be (happily) out of practice generally speaking #but she's still got the experience #and she learned Quick how to fend off a SWORD while unarmed #A. SWORD. #she didn't even have her wings out for it #charlie forgive me for re-watching your gf getting beat up so many times- but she really /was/ pretty impressive about it #im like 90% sure there was broken ribs and internal bleeding by the end #from the way she was moving #and she STILL managed to sling shot lute ass over teakettle #XD #the power of looooove

Can you finally forget about ever being allies with the racist and fascist leftist progressives?

It’s obvious they just hate you as Jews and will support anyone who goes against you.

You should’ve listened to Ben Shapiro’s wisdom.

First of all, I'm a fucking leftist so watch you mouth!

Second do you think the right is any fucking better? the only difference is that the right usually don't hide behind pretty words when they say they want us dead.

Ben Shapiro is not wise, he is a little angry toy Jew for the American right, and the fact that right now he is not spewing complete fucking nonsense does not means I'm gonna align myself to that fucker without him rewriting his political beliefs. Not to mention he still spews bullshit!

He is literally the American Extreme right pet Jew! And I take anything a "pet minority" say with a grain of fucking salt! no matter from where on the political they are presented!

If two of my enemies are my enemies, they are still both my enemies! I am going to yell at the leftist for being terrible and hypocrites, just like I'm gonna yell at the right for being terrible and hypocrites. In this blog we do not discriminate and treat all stupidity equally. I am yelling at the global left because they are just higher on my shit list right now.

P.S

"pet minority" is any person from a minority that a bunch of bigots prop up to say "look! even ____ agree with us", when we know they are bigots and don't give a fuck about the minority in question, or wish harm on the minority group in question.

ppl genuinely praising the iranian government the way they're doing in the trending page is so insane to me isreal is committing active genocide the solution isn't to praise a government that is committed to violating as many human rights laws as possible against its own people. you should not feel comfortable. iran did not heroically save a nation. you can acknowledge armed defence is beneficial to/necessary for liberating palestine without suddenly becoming an iranian government fan i promise there is a secret third way

#the iranian government funding hamas does not mean they give any fucks abt the Palestinian ppl!! #for the past 4 decades this government has been nonstop tormenting ppl actively using #an extremist warped version of what the quran posits as a weapon for oppression. so so many kids and teenagers and #academics and journalists and just . innocent ppl. have been tortured to death or shot etc etc. they have killed people for singing. #they have killed so many people for not wearing headscarves. they have raped and killed so many women #theyve done so many unforgivable things for so long! theyre military buddies w russia too pls think abt what that means omg #anyway #free palestine #ppls reactions to this is just. not it at all #like even if u 4 some reason have the broken clock is right twice a day kind of mindset #this outlook is still absurd

idk man season 10 of doctor who is just so special to me, as someone who used to relate to the Doctor's self hatred so much. watching that season every week, I was so changed by the throughline narrative of the whole thing just being the Doctor finally accepting love in so many different ways. like he said goodbye to River and realised that, actually, he could love and be loved and not only that but it's literally the only thing that matters. and he realises how terrible it actually was before so he befriends bill and helps her even though he's not supposed to and accepts nardole's care. biggest of all, the Doctor is like "okay I will take all this love and acceptance of that love and the realisation it makes me better and I will pass that lesson on to my best friend and try to save them how I was saved." idk man, it makes me wanna cry when I think about 12 and Missy and how 12 insists on showing her that caring is the right thing even when it fucking hurts and he does it by caring FOR HER which he couldn't do before because he was so closed off and self-hating. seeing in the Master only the parts of himself he hated so much, but then he loves River and River loves him and it fundamentally changes him. (not that I would know) but I'm guessing knowing and loving someone fully like that and them doing the same for you makes it easier to see yourself and others as people to love. like when the tenth doctor meets river in the library... Oh, man. can you imagine hating yourself so much, literally believing you're a monster and fucking numb to letting yourself love anything and then here's this person who's whole existence is proof that actually you will love and be fucking loved and it's horrifying until it isn't. season 10 is literally the Doctor finally just so full of love so at peace with his self-hatred. It's really about him accepting that not everyone can be saved the same way he was. It's a perfect season, emotionally that's actually about how love strengthens love, how all the ways we love are connected. my deepest darkest truth is that no matter how much I hate his guts, fucking of all people Steven Moffat wrote the season of Doctor Who that impacted me the most and made me feel seen and gave me hope when I was in a fucked up place as corny as that is. Season 10 is so precious to me. I'm glad people who gave up on the show and are now catching up for the 60th will watch it for the first time cos that shit saved my life and that's not even an exaggeration.

#doctor who #still embarrassing it's Moffat but what can u do. Broken clocks and all that #river song #sorry I'm like actually crying

i didn't think i cared much for n's final battle theme bc i'm a sucker for melodically strong pieces aka certified bangers. but i must say it does a good job at making you uncomfortable when you really listen to the details. it's got tritones, clock ticking sounds, heartbeats, fire and lighting sound effects for reshiram and zekrom, up and down flights, ominous choir, plenty of dissonance. i woke up in a cold sweat at like 5am today with it hauntingly stuck in my head for some reason and that makes it deserving of my respect

#i would have preferred something more melodic to go with the theme of his heroic and pure heart. and his name #but it does a good job at being like hey there really is something genuinely wrong with this man #it sure sounds.. unnatural....... #he is undoubtedly human and full of love and justice. but he's also broken and misguided #he's barely had any real human interactions in his life and has like no social skills #he has at least one confirmed supernatural power in being able to speak to pokémon #apparently the ticking clocks were supposed to represent the ability to see into the past/future that got scrapped? #but i feel like that's still at least partially canon bc he does mention something like that #the ticking clocks and heartbeats at once are so unsettling. like a duality between machine and human #he's a human being who's been raised to be. less than that. treated as a pawn #obsessed with precise calculations. literally called a 'freak without a human heart' #alternatively it could be meant to represent like hey here's him breaking down and losing it #he already knows he's wrong but can't let go of it yet #they could've included the theme of mechanical calculations but still included a solid melody for his true heart #but his true heart is clouded at that point #man i love blorbo #i need to study him #pokémon #and see. ghetsis' battle theme similarly is dissonant and ominous rather than catchy #so maybe n's thing is that since he's doing all this as ghetsis' puppet #but also like ghetsis' is way more simple and n's is frantic and chaotic #to show how ghetsis is pretty much just pure evil and self-absorbed (the man has choir chanting his name!!!) #but n is conflicted and troubled inside and doesn't even know who he is anymore #natural harmonia more like. unnatural disharmonia #(is 'gropius' also a music thing i genuinely don't know) #bw

- the oratrice has to play a role in furina's plan to save fontaine. the original sin committed by egeria is probably what furina, as the hydro archon, is being sentenced to. could there be a way for furina to "separate" herself, sentencing part of herself to death and entrusting the future of fontaine's justice to another? (i'm still stuck in the three thrones so fragmentation of the self is something i think has been hinted at) could this mean the end of the oratrice itself?

- neuvillette looked like he was hovering above the entire city while using his powers. we know he doesn't have his full sovereign powers so if he is the one stopping the flooding, what power is he using? could he be making use of the hydro gnosis?

- the oratrice has been accumulating energy and power as a means to an end, it converts fontaine's people's belief in justice into indemnitium. could this be the power that will save the nation?

- remember nicole's quote after scaramouche deleted himself from the irminsul? "unfortunately, the fate of teyvat cannot easily be changed. perhaps a god may have a slim chance, but for anyone else... who can say. [...] history does not change easily, but human hearts can. believe your own eyes. only that which you see is true. what is unseen is but an illusion." this ties with the themes of fontaine a bit to well for it not feel like some sort of foreshadowing. nicole also appears in the trailer saying" the prophecy... yes, what has been prophesized will be fullfiled." coincidence? i don't think so. arlecchino and furina constantly talk as if everything is teatrichal and the name of this quest masquerade of the guilty also implies a false show. do i know what this means exactly? no. but you can't tell me this isn't big and related to the way atonement will be reached regarding the sin tainting fontaine and it's people.

#i don't know what to make of everything but i can't stop thinking about the trailer #i'm not informed enough on genshin lore for this brainrot 😂 #continuing though. there's no way skirk in human i'm just gonna say it. what is she exactly? no idea #i just know i looked at her and thought she looks straight out of honkai #could she be from outside teyvat/this world? could she be an abyssal creature? #but she's not just a girl no way people also pointing out how her designs resembles the whale and vishaps #she aslo apparently resembles this honkai character that i don't remember the name of who's also not human #so eyes on her 👀 #anyways that's all for now i think #i really wanted to write down this before i forgot especially nicole's quote i'm so interested in the hexenzirkel #oh there's also the narzissenkreuz ordo too!!! the clock falling has to mean fontaine was saved/the prophecy was broken right? #still curious about the possible narzissenkreuz member who said something about focalors 'fooling' them #i forgot the words #furina is so marie antoinette coded i love that for her what a queen #anyways bye ignore me spamming you all today 😂 #genshin thoughts #genshin impact #my post

My favourite thing about the clock I'm trying to make is that it will stop working in 100 years. I think I'm pretty safe in saying that I'm not going to care about this clock in 2127. Chances are I'll have been dead over 30 years by then. Chances are the code I used to make it will be obsolete and broken beyond repair by then.

#maybe it's a little presumptuous to claim I'll make it to my 90s in a silly little post about a fictional clock I'm trying to synch to IRL #but it's better than assuming i'll die young #ah yes my favourite list index: -1 #you're not supposed to do that #why is my code so broken #i mean absolutely this is on me for not testing sooner #but still #universal chat (mcyt socmed au)

listen I am someone who will write 5k words analyzing every minor detail of something and then immediately turn around and make a joke about the topic I was analyzing that directly ignores all of the context around the topic because sometimes ignoring every single bit of context for the sake of making a haha funny post....is ok

#and by sometimes I mean all of the times like ya don't gotta take shit seriously 100% of the time #like I still joke about Lupe's broken gaydar after writing 3000 words explaining why she didn't clock Carson as gay #because its funny #its ok to ignore context to be funny

some shits going down on flight rising again and its become a debate between ppl who havent broken a rule going "lol dont you rule breakers know youre on borrowed time? shouldnt you chill out and accept your doom?" and the ppl who Have broken the rule going "wow now heres another thing i cant do so i can keep flying under the radar and extend my borrowed time. staff is so rude tho" and theyre both like. wrong.

#speaking #ppl usually get caught for multiaccounting for like. sending support tickets with the wrong email #or stuff like that #and theres no like. rule against how long ago it had to happen #you could have had an account you used three times in 2016 and get caught in 2024 and still get your account frozen #but someonge got their account closed bc they won a Big Item and they wanted to check for multiaccount cheating (fair) #but still. like. #ppl who have broken the rule are very upset abt another reason they could get caught #and ppl who Havent broken it are being tbh kind of dismissive of it. #like just bc they Are on borrowed time doesnt make it suck less ya know. and theres Literally nothing to be done #you either stop playing entirely or you just. keep running the clock. thats It. #bc you cant Ask for the old account to be closed or theyll close them both

i started watching community recently and amaya in the last post is vaguely inspired by jeff

#*fizzyspeaks #making out w a hot person on the clock is just something he’d do #i’m still not sure where to go w amaya’s character yet which i think is fine. people are always evolving #i wouldn’t say this is his douchebag arc but maybe he’ll leave a trail of broken hearts #especially now that live so far from home and are free from the scrutiny of their parents #sims falling in love and settling down w the first romantic relationship they have gets kinda boring #he also has the jealous trait oof i’m hoping for some interesting gameplay this gen

quick ramble before i go to sleep-

i love being aro. full stop. i have never felt as full of joy as i feel knowing that i don’t need to find a partner, i don’t need to be comfortable with romance, i don’t need to conform to the ideas i internalized growing up.

but i keep thinking about 15 year old me, who realized they were aro and cried. who wanted anything but to accept that part of themself.

so, to 15 year old me, and to anyone else feeling those feelings: being aro isn’t a death sentence. it does not mean you’ll never be happy. it doesn’t mean the people you care about will leave you, regardless of what you’ve been told. you can find joy in not partnering. you can also still have a partner, if that’s something you want! it’s easy to mourn the life it seems like you’ll never have, but if you still want a partner, a marriage, any sort of long term commitment, you can have it. and if you don’t want it, then you don’t have to have it!

i wish 15 year old me could see how much they’d learn. how many people they’d meet and how much they’d come to understand both themself and the world around them because of this wonderful community. i wish i could tell them it’s going to be okay, not despite being aro but because of it.

being aro is a wonderful thing. i am so glad i learned to be proud of it. it’s amazing to see the community become gradually more visible over time.

happy aro visibility day <2

#aromantic #aromantic visibility day #three o clock speaks #i know i kinda talk about this a lot but i have a lot of thoughts #i’d like to give past me a hug. but i can’t do that. so i’d like to give a hug to anyone going through the motions that past me went through #because it sucks to mourn part of your own life! to believe that you can’t possibly be happy! to think that you’re broken or messed up! #past me needed to be told that not feeling romantic attraction wasn’t their fault. they needed to be told that they can still find joy. #they needed to be told that they are so much happier and emotionally and mentally healthier now than they were back then. #things are okay now. i wish 15 year old me knew that they would be.
