#trying to make amends

[ghirahimbo]

evil time loop escape conditions where you can't get out until you've fuucked up your life in the most spectacular way possible, confident that the next night will reset the slate as usual.

instead, the next day comes.

#that's the first chapter btw #the rest of the story is about coming back from the fallout #trying to make amends #something something the hubris of believing you were above consequences #coming to terms with the pain you were willing to cause in the moment because you never thought it would last (but it did) #actually maybe this is just undertale geno route #post cancelled undertale did it already #lol mostly i was trying to figure out if i could get to new york in a daily reset time loop #i probably could if i fucked up my life #and of COURSE that would be the day it didn't reset

Can this week stop bullying me?

So first was a stupid fucking argument my roommate.

Today my mom calls and it's 99% likely Rosie (our family dog) will cross the rainbow bridge tomorrow.

And then my friend who I'm trying to fix things with sends me a text saying

I really think you also need to work on the fact that you consistently just skip over or ignore things said to you that you just don't want to deal with with your therapist.

... which I don't do. I'm not looking for anyone to disparage her. Just that I need to get this frustration off my chest or it's going to cave in.

The way that I can feel myself get more and more tired of trying like at some point it’s going to be too much

#this is about my mom #like it’s always been me trying for her #but lately i’ve been tired of trying #trying to talk #trying to make amends #I want her to try

I love how everyone, including David Jenkins, keeps describing S02E05 as Ed and Stede just kind of having a "normal day". However, in OFMD-land a Normal Day means raiding a possibly-cursed ship where everyone has been killed in deeply creepy ways, stealing a possibly-cursed suit, trying to keep the suit out of the hands of your crew that wants to destroy it, and finally raiding another ship just to foist the suit off on them.

#and the primary plotlines of this episode are really Stede training and bonding with Izzy and Ed trying to recover and make amends #the cursed suit thing is kinda just background. normal day indeed #our flag means death #ofmd #ofmd os #ofmd season 2 #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd spoilers

Democracy is when Bernie wins and fake democracy is when anyone else wins, am I an expert in political sciences.

#I was originally going to make this vague but Bernie simps are STILL trying it #he lost the primaries… TWICE #because more people voted for the other guy/girl/gay #democracy is democracy even when your guy loses as long as the elections are free and fair #(this is why the electoral college is stupid btw) #it’s not fair that Wyoming voters have 3 times the voting strength towards electors as a California voter #and the system should be abolished #but because it categorically advantages one party that party will never agree to the number of votes required to amend the constitution

wondering if these numbers refer to either like stages of being mixed-up or maybe weeks? like this is week five of yoshiki being mixed-up and the right is week one before all of this?

#also his eyes are white on the right and shaded on the left #eye thing totally true #if there were stages I'd imagine we'd learn about them from tanaka and his company #like oh yeah you're reading a 5 on the official ghost nastiness-infected scale. woof um... maybe start making amends soon... #hikaru ga shinda natsu #the summer hikaru died #hgsn #hgsn spoilers #my hgsn shit #not entirely sure how long the stories been taking place over. not very long I'd assume #but I'm also not trying to count how many times yoshiki has gone to bed #it's been more than five times tho I'm sure of that much. #hgsn eyes

Haven’t known exactly how to articulate this but it truly bothers me that the audience is supposed to buy into Ted’s narrative about Jamie’s dad and not Georgie’s.

Like. Ted is missing so much context about Jamie’s upbringing. He genuinely doesn’t know shit. His perception of James is entirely based upon a couple of vague anecdotes from Jamie, two impersonal encounters with the man, and (most of all) projections of his relationship with his own parents + his insecurities about being a bad father (even though neither he nor his parents are anything like James and the situations aren’t remotely comparable). God love him, he absolutely doesn’t get it!!!

Georgie, on the other hand, has personally, intimately known James for decades, and she knows him as a horrible man who does horrible things to her baby (and almost definitely to her as well) time and time again. She knows from actual experience that James is inconsistent and doesn’t keep his word. She knows that he’s a destructive force in Jamie’s life. She knows that he promises to change and then doesn’t. She knows that he’s the type of man to force his way back into their lives, promise to be a better father, bring her little boy on a big exciting father/son bonding trip to Amsterdam, and somehow fuck it up so completely that he refuses to talk about it and is never really the same again.

So she says to Jamie, your father is who he is, he’s never going to change, and it’s okay to give up on him and move on and make peace with life without him.

And apparently, she’s fucking wrong! She’s wrong about him, and he IS going to change! She doesn’t understand the man who abused her for twenty years like Ted does, because she’s a cynic who hasn’t been wised to The Lasso Way! The REAL wisdom is that hurt people hurt people!!!! Get this toerag back into Jamie’s life!!!!!

It just seems like such a disservice to this character and everything she’s been through and her relationship with Jamie for her to be wrong and Ted to be right and Jamie to ignore her and pursue a relationship with his father. Give me a break

#she KNOWS this man she knows how destructive he is why am I supposed to believe Ted over her #child abuse #domestic abuse #Ted lasso #oc #not touching on the substance abuse because I don’t think it matters frankly #addiction is morally neutral. alcoholism is not what makes someone a bad person and going to rehab doesn’t make you a good person #i understand the point is that he’s trying to change but going to rehab is not amends for abusing a child. you’re not undoing a wrong #my point being that they botched the addiction storyline too lol

maybe we're not there yet, but the Grief and Loss Dynamics in Worlds Beyond Number are so devastating

suvi's commitment to hierarchy and knowledge so clearly shows how a child will internalize grief and trauma as something that can be avoided, if only they can control things and know better

ame's light and sweetness so painfully feels like the kind of grief that you hold onto that tricks you into believing it won't hurt so bad if you just don't look backwards -- for all her commitment to both worlds, to honoring the past and forging the future, ame still walks through the world with more items anyone could conceivably carry so that she never has to leave anything (anyone) behind

and eursulon -- oh, baby, eursulon. eursulon reminds me so clearly of what grief and trauma does to the way someone moves in the world when they know, bone deep, that their own skin and their own fear are the only things they can count on -- that joy is a thing meant to leave and it's not something you can design your life around

I know it's just a podcast -- but I just...have a lot of feelings

#worlds beyond number #brennan lee mulligan #aabria iyengar #lou wilson #erika ishii #suvi “all i've made are hard decisions” kedberiket vs every door #ame #eursulon #do you think eursulon ever sleeps halfway out of windows just to try and capture that summer one more time? #does suvi (for a time) try to learn more about witches because she worries that she won't know how to keep grandmother wren and ame safe? #does she only stop when she realizes that learning more would require making a choice she can't make? #is ame carrying everything with the knowledge that you can't make amends with the world if you have nothing to offer #and she's not quite sure if she's enough to qualify just on her own? if she was enough then why would they leave? #I have a lot of feelings about this show I need to be left alone

Listening to "Look My Way" on repeat while writing the next chapter is healthy and will not affect me (or the chapter) in any way I'm sure.

#spazzcat barks #the barking writer #unless its me? #and no matter what in this world i could give #its not enough? #to get through the walls youve conjured up to live #is this how youd feel? #abandoned all alone and left to fend for yourself? #for some semblence of happiness that doesnt have to end #i will try to make amends for making you means to an end #so look my way please look my way #and if theres something more that i dont know #ill save us both before we grow cold #if youll stay and just say 'look my way' #[loud off key singing fades into the distance]

jon and martin's voices being trapped in the computers is making me imagine another world "somewhere else" where jon and martin wake up, somehow alive and holding on, desperate to communicate, only to find both of their voices lost

#im just #AUIUIUIUIGH #the angst potential of this #martin is so upset with jon he doesnt even have words to explain an inch of it #but now he cant speak at all #he cant even scream for the matter #and jon is so desperately trying to make amends but its all clunky and stilted even without losing his ability to speak #AAUIUGH

Not a Norman Osborn Apologist or a Norman Osborn Hater but a secret third thing

#redemption may be possible but he's gotta earn it with like his blood sweat and tears #he's gotta have his ebeneezer scrooge moment of realizing what a miserable shell of man he has become #how he has alienated everyone who cares about him and that is not a long list of people #and he can only try to make amends with the ones he hasn't killed #i have found vanishingly few post-nwh fanworks that tackle this in a satisfying way if they even try #many do not #do i yearn for the father-son reconciliation? in my heart of hearts i do #but i think it would be better if harry doesn't go for it right away #even if he wanted to he might not trust it and years of being brushed off and criticized would not disappear overnight #someday i should make the post about how norman could really love his son but it might not matter #anyway sorry for making a whole separate post in the tags but there ya go #green goblin #norman osborn #raimiverse #op

I guess we - as Jon fans and Dany fans - can breathe a sigh of relief. Dragon Demands even mentions that George never addressed the Snow spinoff, unlike the other projects that are actually related to the book canon. I hope that this means that we don't have to worry about the fandom fighting about a completely new content based on the AWFUL series ending. Especially if that would result in even more bashing towards Jon and Dany's characters. I get that Kit Harrington might have thought of a way to "redeem" series!Jon, but there was no room for anything good or remotely positive after season 8 for him. I mean, what is there to work with what Dumb and Dumber did? Because unless one wants to be blissfully unaware and pretend that it was all fine after the end of S8 (hello Sophie Turner and her thoughts about Sansa ruling the North alone happily ever after), there's really nothing left to work with it. At least not something someone would want to watch onscreen. Because would they bring Daenerys back for this? We know that Emilia Clarke said no to returning to the character. She and Kit are friends, but there's a limit on what we can do for a friend - I just know I would certainly not go back to a character that meant a lot to me just to have them possibly destroyed AGAIN, just so my friend could live his vanity project. Let's face it, they would keep hammering home the whole Mad Queen shit while Jon was moping with guilt. Dragon Demands said best around 24:24 min into the video, when he mentions the whole fiasco that would be ressurecting Dany. Because that doesn't undo the fact that Benioff and Weiss DESTROYED her character. That the burning of King's Landing was completely out of character, but that shit will be always there, and it will follow us everywhere until GRRM himself decides to publish the rest of the books and put an end on this discussion. Even then, show onlies will still bring that shit up to justify their dislike of Dany. And yes, he mentions that also Stannis and even Sansa suffered character assassination because how can you justify their actions otherwise? So hell YES I'M GLAD THIS IS NOT GOING TO SEE THE LIGHT OF THE DAY.

#daenerys targaryen #anti d&d #anti got #daenerys defense squad #anti got fandom #jon snow #I know that ressurected!Dany and S8 fics exists but this is another matter #because it would be a lot worse since unlike these fics they wouldn't make the characters to actually try to make amends #but to try to kill each other again #Youtube

[ID: a digital owl house comic spanning three images. Panel 1: The scene header reads "in the not so distant future, post hexsquad and C.A.T.Ts reunion" and features Luz, Lilith and Steve. They're in a forest and there's a tent in the background labeled "Camilla + hexsquad camp". Luz says "okay, so "owl house" is a game where King and The Collector reenact our adventures...using the people of the boilings isles sorta like NPCs in creatures and caverns...roleplaying as people from our lives!".

Panel 2: a close-up of Luz, resting her face on her hand, looking questioningly as she continues "hmm...but if everyone on the isle's been assigned someone from our lives to play in Owl House...then who's the collector playing?"

Panel 3: a shadow descends on Luz and she tenses up as a mysterious voice asks "isn't it obvious?"

The final "panel" is a full length image of the collector, dressed in Luz's season 1 outfit, floating above her menacingly as shooting stars and crescent moons swirl around him, the ground turning into a crescent effigy. White text sits above the collector, reading "I'm you". End ID]

Okay I had to post my predictions before we get a sneak peek. What better way to convince Luz her life is worth living than to have someone literally try to steal it!!

#the owl house #toh #for the future #luz noceda #lilith clawthorne #steve toh #i know those last two are just cameos but I like to imagine they're hanging out in the apocalypse #I've been holding out for lilith to be the first adult luz and the gang meet up with after TTT #bc i think it'd be cool for her and Luz to talk about everything that happened during elsewhere and elsewhen #i think Lilith's already had to live through the experience of doing the worst thing she'll ever do #and then having to get back on her feet and make amends #and she's not always perfect but she's trying and that's all anyone can do really #there might not be time and I'm content with the writers going other routes (I'm just excited in general!!) #but it's a neat idea ive been tossing around for a while. didn't get to show it here but know it's implied lol #anyway of course the collector would want to be luz if owl house was a roleplaying game! she's the hero! king loves her! #i have to go now but yknow what you get the idea
