Pac and Fit watching and tubbo becomes more and more emotionally dependent upon them and Sunny as the days progress and how he sends himself into a panic if he loses sight of her or them for more then a minute to the point that they once left to grab something from the factory while he was distracted with working on the hole and when they came back he was in hysterics thinking that they finally left him

#I’m thinking about how tubbo panicked over Sunny’s bed yesterday #the way bad and Pac immediately came running will be in my mind forever #but I think losing Fred makes him so dependent on the other people he cares about and is terrified that he’s going to lose them too #or worse decide that he’s not worth their time #after all fit and Pac have eachother and kids and sunny has other parents that are far more qualified then he is #what happens when they come to the same realization that the other islanders have #this stream made me so normal guys #qsmp tubbo #tubbo #qsmp #qsmp sunny #sunny #qsmp fit #fitmc #qsmp pac #pactw #morning crew #they’re so emotionally dependent on each other #they have separation anxiety you guys #we gotta make angst out of it

even KURUK was done so dirty by natla too - you know, going it alone in the spirit world was probably his greatest regret (though at least his animal guide was probably with him)

yeah my friend pointed out that the way roku was portrayed as uncharacteristically playful and charming while kuruk was just kind of flat and serious was not only mischaracterizing both of them in a way where if they had just reversed their personalities it would have made sense (what are they, zukka??) but indicative of anti-native racism by playing into the stoic native leader/elder trope even though that’s truly not what kuruk is at all, whereas roku is kind of the sage old asian man mentor, but you know, they do think to subvert THAT. no offense to ken leung and danny pudi who are innocent but this show was largely made by the most annoying asian americans, and it shows, such as in the fact that a single fire nation boat looks 100x better than the entire northern water tribe, or the fact that they uh. idk. cast a white guy to play sokka and didn’t even give a shit. justice for kuruk but also justice for every single water tribe character truly

#10000dandelions #asks #natla #it’s funny that they’re like ‘well by virtue of being ethnically asian we will be more sensitive to racial politics’ #and then they did MORE orientalizing and racism and had far worse politics than the original #dont even get me started on omashu being all of south asia all of a sudden…..

i think i’ve learned a lot when it comes to not applying my own values to the media i consume

for my script analysis class yesterday, we discussed two gentleman from verona, and nearly every classmate of mine was up in arms about how sexist the story is.

and i'm not saying it's not, or that it's not infuriating to read. but i'm also not putting my energy into getting upset about something written 500 or so years ago. and i'm not about to put my own beliefs onto these characters that are not me. i'm going to let their choices speak for themselves, and interpret it in the context of the story.

all that said, this now brings me to the point of alastor in episode 5, and how viscerally people are responding to it. those of you up in arms about the choices he’s making, and the violent threat he gave husk, you’re missing the entire point of his character, of this place they’re in, of the story being told. he’s an overlord, and he became an overlord by killing much bigger overlords and broadcasting their deaths over the radio.

HE IS NOT A GOOD PERSON.

if you started this show with the belief that every character working the hotel is a good person, you’re in the wrong place. watch the good place if you’re looking for a good wholesome story about getting dead sinners into heaven, because that’s not what this show is about.

you’re more than welcome to hate him after seeing the way he exerted power over a being whose soul he owns, but you’re doing the media you’re watching a disservice by writing it off so quickly. if you don’t like to be uncomfortable watching media, watch something else. this is an uncomfortable show, it handles uncomfortable topics, and it’s going to be an uncomfortable ride, and if you’re not up for something like that, then you should take a break from it and pick up something else. you don’t have to get online and defend your own ideals while you watch a show that goes against your ideals.

#hazbin hotel spoilers #that’s not even touching on the fact that husk was an overlord too #he also owned souls that he used as currency to supply his gambling addiction #he’s also not a good person!! #the majority of these characters are in hell for a reason: they’re not good people #i quite frankly love the way this show blurs the lines between good and evil #our heroes are sinners and overlords and demons. while the enemies are angels. but that doesn’t mean our heroes are good people. #you HAAAVE to come to terms with that!! you have to stop seeing the world in black and white or you’re not going to survive this world #if you’re upset because alastor was cruel to husk fine! be upset! but explore why you’re taking yourself out of that world. #in this world sinners own other people. there’s no ifs ands or buts #‘oh alastor is a poc why would he own people’ he was a serial killer when he was alive do you really think you can apply your values to that #(and this is me speaking as a poc. specifically a mixed race poc.) #i cannot speak to who vivzie is as a person. but i’m interested in the message she’s writing and thus far i’m finding it compelling #it’s a similar story as the good place but it’s going the distance to explore even worse people than those in the good place #i don’t think it’s responsible to write something off just because unsavory things happen in it. #and she’s giving us so many different types of representation that don’t involve race (although we’re also getting a lot of hispanic rep) #just like cool your jets and maybe process some of the anger you’re feeling. and maybe nothing will change. #but if you act. instead of react. if you understand why you’re feeling some type of way and then make a choice. #that’s so much stronger and more responsible than reacting and not thinking anything through #hazbin hotel #alastor #husk #hazbin alastor #hazbin husk #anyway let me get off my soapbox #long post

‘how do you like criston after he called rhaenyra a cunt’ i wanted to fuck jaime after he tried to kill that child. genuinely what show do you think we’re watching. let hot guys kill evilly

#weirdest type of hotd discourse is which side is more morally in the right they’re all insane evil feudalists in a collapsing dynasty. #i don’t like criston and alicent because i think they’re in the right i like them because i loveee insane evil catholics #house of the dragon #hotd #criston cole #jaime lannister #also like their atrocities are fictional but daemon stans annoy me in real life which is a far worse crime

omg reverse riko au is making me feel so ill..... please let us know if you have any more thoughts abt riko kayleigh and kevin legend.....

I DO my idea is that its around the same age kevin and riko met in canon so tetsuji kicks the bucket when riko is 7/8 and riko is (very forcibly) removed from the nest and sidelined to kayleigh as a new moriyama asset from the main branch takes over the nest. riko struggles a lot with the change because he is very young and very scared and he’s used to horrible things at tetsuji’s hand, which means that he doesn’t trust kayleigh and finds kevin entirely too weird. it’s honestly really cute because i think at this point obviously 7 year old kevin wants to befriend him but riko is such an anxious ball of anger that most of their interactions are like

baby riko: what do you WANT from me. go AWAY!!!! NOW

baby kevin: (heavy irish accent) nothing i think. do you want a bite of my sandwich?

anyway i think riko and kayleigh do get along but he never really considers her his mother or even godmother, for a long time he thinks of her as his Benefactor until the child therapy starts hitting and she becomes Aunt Kayleigh and then after a few more years he can be loosely convinced to refer to her as auntie once or twice a year. his second son syndrome never really leaves him; in the upcoming years riko struggles with the idea that he’s anything But an add-on to the days and still overworks himself to death trying to be acknowledged by kengo, but it’s leaps better just from being outside the nest and having people to look out for him

riko and kevin have some rough patches, especially during riko’s first years with the days. because kevin is an easy target and riko is afraid of kayleigh he ends up letting a lot of that anger out on kevin, though obviously at this point they are children and riko’s anger manifests in some mild bullying and name calling. i think kevin doesn’t even understand it most of the time 😭 riko has been around grown ups his entire life so his adult level insults make no sense to kevin’s seven year old mind. nevertheless after kayleigh tells him to stop picking on kevin riko does respect it (first out of fear, then later because they actually get along) and they go on to become brothers with only a slight tendency towards antagonism. riko’s jealousy of kevin is still a big part of their relationship and i think even more so when college applications roll around, and he’s even more worried when wymack comes into the picture, but it never culminates into anything as horrible as hand breaking because riko has an actual outlet and a support system :) it’s mostly a yelling match that eventually turns to getting scolded by kayleigh for acting like barbarians

#i know kayleighs sermons go hard kevin and riko are sitting there head bowed like yes maam….. #i havent yet decided where they both go to college in this au #but i think for one that the nest still exists and jean still gets sold to the moriyamas but it’s the main branch now #however without riko there jean’s experience in the nest is. Hard but not brutal #anyway i think riko would apply to edgar allen but he would be rejected on the account of being second branch raised by foreigners #but how horrifying to think about jean in the nest bossing riko around right. kind of a slay though #i think kevin goes to palmetto still Because he wants to reconnect with wymack and riko is very divided but ultimately chooses usc #because they’re the best and he doesn’t want to play second fiddle to kevin and his father #also i imagine his time in usc sucks a lot for the first months because it’s so different LOL #and he’s never been alone before like this with kayleigh and kevin so far out of reach #but :) hed make friends. maybe even… captain jeremy knox….. whos to say? #! #meanwhile kevin (a normal boy at this point) has to deal with the foxes being a trainwreck and the new serial killer dad recruit #he’s got a lot on his hands #ANYWAY this is entirely unrelated and indulgent but i want this kevjean to meet so bad #riko on the phone: we played against the ravens that jean moreau is a scoundrel and a monster and he almost broke my arm kevin: woaw #he’s gonna be so pissed off three years down the line when jean moreau shows up at christmas dinner with the days #you think theres any worse dynamic for jean and riko than master and slave? of course. Brothers in law #wouldnt you just kill to be a little fly buzzing around that christmas supper #asks #riko #kevin&riko

Carpenter and Hayward on an awkward buddy cop road trip is literally everything I’ve ever wanted. I could’ve listened to an entire episode of just that.

#Seriously I’m going to start biting things if I think about how far they’ve both come since they met #Even though everything is much worse they’re the best versions of themselves they’ve ever been #And it’s still almost certainly not going to be enough to save them #Godddddd #the silt verses

One of the best things about the various iterations of tmnt is how different yet similar each variation of the brothers is. None of them are better than past or future versions, they just go about the same things in their own way. None are abusive, none are perfect, they’re all brothers with their own set of weaknesses and their own set of strengths.

Each variation has some eye brow raising moments where you’re like “hey that one went a little too far there-“ but nothing makes them irredeemable or bad brothers. They’re just brothers - and family isn’t perfect.

#tmnt rant #tmnt #LUCKILY the rampant accusations of the 2012 bros being abusive has died off some but it’s still annoying #no guys none of them are abusive they’re just different dynamics #and tbh!!! not even super different at that!!! #lol I remember seeing so much stuff for how the 12 bros abused Mikey but nah guys #my guy was a MENACE he provoked it a good 80% of the time and also often fought back too #did they sometimes go too far? sure. still not abuse #I’d argue rise leo gets about the same treatment as 12 Mikey did or even worse in some aspects but no one’s saying THATS abuse #because it’s not #sometimes brothers pick on each other #sometimes brothers push and push until another one snaps #sometimes brothers go too far #and sometimes ragging is just the way the group works #it doesn’t automatically make it bad #or abusive or terrible #and something to make note of too is that #for all the focus that goes onto the bad there seems to be a lot of sidestepping the good #i mainly talked about 12 and rise in the tags but this applies to each variation #families aren’t perfect and an imperfect family isn’t automatically bad #actually tagging this one bc I feel it’s less rant and more just stuff I feel like sharing lol

TW Abuse

Aren feels guilt over clinging to his abuse, because he’s looked up to his Pops for so long as a role model, as someone who he should aspire to be.

But then he interacts with a toddler, or a little kid, or even people his own age. He can’t help but think about how fragile they are, how easy their skin would give way to bruises and blood, and he wonders how you could have something so precious and vulnerable, one that looks up to you with adoration and unadulterated trust, and tear it to shreds.

And he knows it was wrong, but he still tries to convince his friends otherwise. Because if they agree, that means it’s something he has to let go. He doesn’t have to look it in the eyes and ask questions that he won’t ever get an answer to.

#abuse is easy to look at objectively from far away because they’re not a person to you #because the person experiencing it clings to the good memories and pretends it makes up for the bad ones #or worse when it’s a parent who you know has gone through the same #and sometimes you have to look at it and realize change isn’t possible for someone who can’t quite leave survival mode #WOC are taught to keep silent and play clean-up afterwards #and they ask their kids to be happy because they’ve been granted better circumstances #but we forget that no matter how many tools you have you’ll never know how to use them if you’re not taught #asking happiness from a child who has never seen it from a parent will never result in progress #we teach our children to learn from our mistakes instead of from our examples #because change is fucking hard for yourself but all you can do is cling to the hope that maybe it’ll be different for them #sorry got rant-y there lol #I used to write a lot of poetry maybe I should try again and see if I can answer some things for myself #tw child abuse #kuboyasu aren #Saiki k

one of the worst feelings ever is wanting to write but your hands hurt too much or the words just don’t want to work so you just sit there staring at a half finished doc with tears in your eyes bc you want to write and you need to write but everything is telling you that you can’t

#and that you’re a terrible writer and that no one cares aaaaaaand imposter syndrome kicks in and you just feel like crap #bc all your friends have been wriying recejtky so why can’t you??? cause they’re bETTER THAN YOU #lol idk why my head is so bad today #the feelings of inferiority and emptiness and idk worthlessness are strong and i hate it but i can’t stop it #i just wanna write!!! and like what i write!!! #but i Can’t and i haven’t liked anything i’ve written in Months and ugh i hate not being able to d something i wanna do #oh and now i’m crying??? why the frick am i cRYING litetally why is typing this making me Worse #sorry guys needed to rant #the inadequacy was strong today #something something students keep telling me how much they dislike me or how i’m whiny for asking them to be respectful and like #i Know i shouldn’t compare myself to my friends but gosh it’s hard when they’re all like. so much better than me. #and i don’t have a lot of time to be on tumblr bc of work so i just feel like i’m watching everything from afar and it’s no one’s fault but #my brain’s like no one is Doing anything it’s just my brain being dumb and i can’t stand it and I want to stop feeling empty and like i’m #missing a part of myself and like the words i write don’t matter gOD why can’t i just feel happy with where i am and not care what the kids #who hate me say or realize that no one cares that i’m not on much like i’m still Here and trying to interact it’s not like everyone hates me #for being busy or for liking side characters more than the main characters and just— #sorry #that felt good actually #idk what came over me #imma just. imma shower. then maybe delete my tags #sorry if anyone got this far aT ALL grace is either asleep or trying to sleep so i don’t wanna bother them since they slept poorly last nigh #okay done now for real sorry delete tags later sorry if you saw this and how freaking messed up ky freaking brain is

i find it damn near impossible to get mad at santana’s behavior in 3x06 and 3x07 because i genuinely do think she had the right to be lashing out at everybody. sue me idk

#idgaf if she was mean to kurt and blaine when they were “trying to help” in IKAG #they were the first performance & santana was put under the spotlight by the guy who fully outed her to the ENTIRE STATE OF OHIO & now she #-was expected to be just happy and jolly about some bullshit lady music week to celebrate women as if that has anything to do with wtf just #-happened to her by finn’s hands & of course she was upset because she was only back in the new directions because finn basically #-blackmailed her into rejoining like hello!!! so of course she was snippy with them… and tbh i don’t even think she was being that mean. #i think she’d have reason to be even MEANER actually. that reaction of hers was completely reasonable. and honestly it must’ve hurt seeing #-two people who are meant to Get what it’s like.. participate in that? especially when the last thing she wants is her sexuality that she’s #-still very insecure with Being broadcasted. to the whole damn club. it’s already about to be shown to all of ohio with names addresses #-details about her whole personal life etc like she really didn’t need that spotlight right then she needed to have space and love and #-support… none of which she got. #also the glee writers tend to make a character do a bad thing and then have another character do an INFINITELY WORSE THING #and then they’re like “oh but. the first character was being so mean. this absolutely deplorable and wayyyy too far reaction is definitely #-justified now because that was just so mean of the first character ugh!” and basically spins what happened into showing the first characte #-as the most evil person alive??? as if that’s even remotely true.??? and yes this is about santana cause they do this w her #and quinn. a LOTTTT. like a LOT. rn i’m talking ab santana though so i won’t cover quinn sorry fabrayers… one day! #like yes santana was being mean sure whatever. but finn didn’t have an excuse IDGAF what the hell anybody says about the body shaming stuff #it was mean. yes that’s true. but i don’t think you understand how different those two things are #they’re both bad but the outing is infinitely more despicable and personal and filled with malice and it’s so much more endangering in a wa #-that can’t even be compared to the dangers of body shaming you know. like they’re completely different and the outing thing is just too #-personal and Wrong like. idk. just get that through ur head they’re both so different and finn went way too far and personal. he could’ve #-just mocked her looks if he really wanted to get back at her. mocked ANYTHING else. but he chose the worst thing you could do to somebody #who is scared and in the closet and hurting #also yes santana’s written to be rude a lot of the time but her degree of rudeness in those episodes was Overplayed and def not in characte #like it didn’t feel much like santana’s brand of meanness it was 100% the writers trying to justify finn more because they continued to #-paint finn as the good guy who chose the high road… when that couldn’t be further from the truth thanks. he didn’t choose the high road he #-completely blackmailed santana and used her to make him look good basically. so you can’t change my mind on that Def being a writer issue #and just them Hating Women. especially santana. thanks. #also this is all coming from somebody who loves finn. so. 🤣 #i fuckingggg hate seeing people say santana was mean and had no right to be doing all of that in those eps.. BITCH YES SHE DID #like in other eps sure (<- nuanced topic/take) but this one? No. she was justified IDGAF. should’ve been meaner

[bubbieboy]

i don’t know if this is a hot take or not but the rr/b skew more neutral than evil to me

#at least when they’re just on their own and not actively following the orders of grown-ass lunatics #they could objectively be doing worse #but the way they’re written they’re just really obviously kids with no actual guidance trying to have fun #the most actively evil thing they’ve done is pay lip service to destroying the power/puff girls sometimes #and then just never really. attempt it? #and i’m comparing this to the ppnkg who actually Are evil #arguably Also because of the way they’re raised but still #their actions lean more actively dangerously malicious than an annoying child with powers spiting you because you happened to buy a soda #all of this to say i just don’t buy when people refer to them as irredeemable or naturally immoral or anything #i think they’re naturally *mischevious* but as far as them maturing/the possibility of being rehabilitated #realistically they could truly go either way #this isn’t really a response to any particular takes i’ve seen though i’m just rambling #bubble journal #i know a lot of people don’t like that about them and want them to be more threatening #i personally like it a lot though i mean it’s definitely how I would’ve written characters like them i think #and i think making them shittier would just turn them into full ppnkg clones #and it would also make less sense for the girls to even let them keep living if they were full-on horrible constantly #like . kill them!?!?!!?!?!? are you nuts!!!?!!!!!!?!? #that’s like an av3ngers level threat you’re letting run around town

[knightsickness]

i’ve talked about the theme of grief in jfa, and i think one of the most interesting things about it is seeing it shift into the themes of t&t, which are love and devotion - whether earned or misplaced. phoenix’s naïve love for dahlia sees him eat glass and almost get convicted in the tutorial, and godot’s driving motivation is his devotion to mia. the delites’ love for one another is reciprocal, but viola and armstrong’s devotion to tigre is misplaced and exploited. gumshoe insists that you take maggey’s case because he can’t believe that she’s guilty. terry fawles, as gross as his relationship with dahlia was, represents one-sided devotion to a suicidal degree. phoenix wants to help iris because he still does really care about her. morgan acts in the name of her idea of pearl, and pearl still, in spite of everything, loves her mother. in the climax of the game, godot’s misguided idea of what mia would want shows the danger of acting on devotion to the dead, and stresses the importance of our love for the living in edgeworth and franziska defending iris (and turning a blind eye) when phoenix can’t. dahlia, again, subverts the theme by refusing to represent it - she uses and abuses the love and devotion she receives, but gives none in return

#t&t’s themes are better in that the entire game coheres to them but worse in that they’re far more on the nose than jfa #if you looked at it more narrowly you could mistake the themes for relationships and poisoning #ace attorney meta #ace attorney #trials and tribulations #phoenix wright #dahlia hawthorne #ron delite #desiree delite #furio tigre #viola cadaverini #jean armstrong #godot #diego armando #morgan fey #pearl fey #mia fey #iris fey #miles edgeworth #franziska von karma

OK changing it slightly. How dysfunctional would shadowpeach be if they never broke up and became enemies, staying as best friends/lovers, and still never communicated their issues

so dysfunctional that i wouldn’t want to touch it even with a 39 1/2 foot pole

#again their dysfunctional levels cannot get lower #only higher #they are far from ok #MK should be glad his first impression of a relationship was freeboodles bc boy would shadowpeach have fucked him up worse if so #he is lucky enough to clock out of witnessing the MESS that is shadowpeach and come home #to his healthy (tho very awkward) parents (who may/may not know that they’re basically a married couple <-I’ll leave that to you) #lmk #shadowpeach #asks
