#which is why i am fired up about it

[lexisloops]

the middle east falls in both asia and africa, it’s also a historically inconsistent term

yeah but its in africa. im in a long standing feud with the new york times crossword over it.

#like i get that geographically it falls in both #and ultimately geographic terms are arbitrary and based in mostly eurocentric ideas of the world and mostly dont have an official def #but historically and culturally the middle east is much closer to northern africa then central or south asia #which is why i like MENA as a term #it tracks much closer to the reality of the relationships between these regions #using the examples of the arab league #i just find the term west asia to be meaningless and worst....unhelpful #except in sports i guess which fine whatever #idk i know its a silly hill to die on but here i am #i am arab btw #which is why i am fired up about it

[imminent-danger-came]

So, this parallel, right.

That parallel and the 4x11 shadowpeach fight as a whole:

Macaque: "No that's YOU! You're the one always running off! Looking for more power, more sources of immortality—you're the one who wouldn't quit while were were ahead! Not the great sage, he's got to drag EVERYONE else into his mess!" Sun Wukong: "You're not in this mess, you're still free! Everything I did was for us!" Macaque: "You did it for yourself! You've become like this, obsessive demon! I told you going against the Jade Emperor was a bad idea, but no, Wukong doesn't listen to anyone! He just does whatever he wants! You put yourself here, not me."

(4x11 A Lifetime of Mistakes)

-

A large part of Wukong's motivation to keep getting more power was the freedom of it—the more power you have the easier it is to do whatever you want. It's easier to ignore everyone else and focus solely on yourself. It's also easier to ensure yourself and your loved one's are protected and have the ability to do what they want.

So, a punishment where the great Monkey King is imprisoned and trapped for hundreds of years? It's effective and tragic and fitting. Wukong wanted to have the freedom to protect the people he cared about, and in trying to reach for the power to do that, he completely had his freedom removed. He went from the mountain, to then the circlet, and then all of a sudden he had morals and was bound to those.

And then I think about his end of s3 choice to go face the Lady Bone Demon alone. Once again Wukong was trying to protect his loved ones (not to mention the whole reason he went after the Samadhi fire to begin with was to have the power, the freedom to stop LBD (which in itself is another case of SWK believing he needed to be stronger for such freedom)), but he also wanted to make sure MK and himself both had agency. He didn't want MK to have to fight LBD, and he didn't want LBD to end the world.

This is exactly the sentiment he tells Macaque in the 4x11 flashback:

Sun Wukong: "It's so we don't have to worry about anything or anyone ever again! Just living a lazy life, sitting in the sun, eatin' fruit, and doing whatever we want!"

But where does it all lead him?

To possession, imprisonment. Once again Wukong no longer had the freedom to do what he wanted (which is to protect the people he cares about). Once again in his attempts to help his loved one's, he only hurt them.

This can be applied to his relationship with Macaque, to MK in s2, hell, even Wukong trying to get the map in the first place left him powerless, which then led to him and the gang being imprisoned in 3x02. It's a familiar pattern, one we see with antagonist and protagonist alike.

MK in s2 trained to become more powerful, which in the end only strengthened LBD and forced him and his friends on the run. Mei in 3x12 protects MK by letting herself get captured and placed into LBD's crystal. Mei in 4x05 goes to protect MK, breaking her sword and leaving her vulnerable to being captured by Kui Mulang ("How am I supposed to protect everyone without my sword?"). DBK reached for more power and then became possessed by LBD, hurting his wife and son. Azure reached for the Jade Emperor's power and bound himself to that role, jeopardizing Peng and Yellowtusk in the process.

It's a cycle of reaching for power, endangering others, and then being imprisoned.

So anyways, here's why MK is going to lose control (his agency) next season and hurt his friends with his own- *get's shot*

#*cough cough* shut up this isn't similar to Callum and Viren from tdp at all. #Ignore everything I said about the reach for power to have freedom and that leading to consequences. Shhhhhhh #anyways GOSH HMMM THE CHARACTER ARCS YAY #I LOVE WHEN THEMATICALLY RELEVANT THINGS HAPPEN TO CHARACTERS #Like. It's not just ''Wukong got possessed'' it's how Wukong getting possessed plays into his character and the show as a whole #Which is why lmk is so good #A league above the rest #Ignore that this is also the exact same thing that happens to Callum with possession. Shhhhh. #But y'all get my point #So anyways in reaching for power and having the agency to protect those you care about #And continuing Mei and SWK parallels #I think it would be neat if Mei accepted the Samadhi fire again to protect her friends for whatever reason #It'd also be neat if she did it specifically to fight MK/get him back #Like teehee that would be so cool #Am I saying MK next season might very well parallel possessed Wukong? yes that's exactly what I'm saying. #lmk SWK #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk analysis #you know what executive decision tag #hero mei warrior mk

Also, Ruan Mei was the one who lent the Phase Flame to Ratio, wasn't she?

#That Ratio and her were working together seemed to be the case since we first found him but idk #Ruan Mei plays dumb when we ask about him but I thought it was clear that she did know him #Herta also pretends she doesn't know him for some reason #cringefail acquaintance #Jokes aside I wonder why they did that. Is it because they both are ehm working behind each other's back #(Herta when it comes to the IPC‚ the SU and the bet‚ Ruan Mei kind of with everything)‚ or is it due to some other more complex reason? #Based on we've seen thus far I do think Ratio and Ruan Mei were working together in something #and that she was in the known of at least some things. Perhaps not everything #She seems to care about things beyond her research even less than Herta does #But given what we're told it seems fair to conclude the fire Ratio had was given to him by Ruan Mei #Herta said Ruan Mei needed it for some research. So either she didn't need it anymore and didn't mind giving it to Ratio afterwards #or maybe what Ratio was doing was something she was a part of. Or did Ratio steal it when he was around the seclusion zone? #I'm not inclined to think that tbh it seems to me Ruan Mei must have been knowingly implied. Yet now she owes Herta a favour #Which is more valuable according to Herta. This quest has left me very curious about the development of all this #Screwllum suspected Ratio since the beginning. I wonder if he suspects Ruan Mei too #Ruan Mei's line about Screwllum makes it seem like they don't get along too well I think. I have so many questions xD #I am very curious about all this‚ satisfied and potentially excited. Not yet excited but I sure have hopes for an exciting development haha #Maybe it will all end up being nothing but the relationships between the characters in the Genius Society (especially these three) #seems kind of messy and that intrigues me. The relationship the three of them have with Ratio seems intriguing too #Any iteration of these dynamics seems to be very interesting #Maybe it will all end up being nothing or I may be misreading or seeing more than there is but I am looking forwards to knowing more #I talk too much #Traces

I need a pretty significant degree of commonality (both subjective and objective) between characters to ship them and I think that's why it's so hard to find f/f ships that draw me in. It's like people making media want to create the polarity that would usually be there through gender by making these women so starkly different that I just become unable to connect.

#like theres always gotta be either super different personalities or an age gap #or a power imbalance or really different experiences values and circumstances and thats just not what im about #and this isnt to say i would like that type of media to disappear because i know a lot of people enjoy that contrast #im just saying i wish that wasnt sooo much of what we have #like nearly all of it #im saying this because i saw a gifset of portrait of a lady on fire which i love #and is one of the rare instances of wlw media where the romance itself really moved me #and i remembered the céline sciamma quote about how it was important to her to have them be #as equal as she could possibly make them down to the heights #and how thats probably why i was able to connect with it so much #and like i love Carol (2015) Dir. Todd Haynes but I don't ship Carol and Therese! #anyway this is my periodic complaint about the lack of f/f friends to lovers #but like real ones not like headcanon ones although even then for most this would still apply! #ramblings #i could say a lot about how this doesnt plague m/m nearly as much and how it all circles back to misogyny but ill spare myself #but heres the thing ill still go ahead and check out anything with lesbians in it and support it and enjoy it in different ways #so this is not an excuse as to why im not contributing to wlw because i AM out there constantly searching #lest anyone think im doing a thing i hate which is people making up excuses not to care about women

Sometimes I come across a pet peeve that I did not know was a pet peeve and it is. Annoying.

It is not a big deal. And yet and yet and yet I am not sure I'm going to be able to finish this fic.

Because the Glock handguns the SVU detectives carry keep being referred to as revolvers and. It. Is. Driving. Me. Crazy.

They are not revolvers! Revolvers are a specific thing! Handguns with a cylinder you load bullets in and that cylinder revolves as it is fired to put the next chamber in line with the hammer and that is why they are called revolvers. The Glocks in the show have a magazine for the bullets and are fed up into the barrel when the trigger is pulled, no revolving cylinder.

This is not a big deal! So the writer doesn't know. Who cares!

Apparently. I fucking care. UGH.

#svu #guns #seriously. i am annoyed this is annoying me #pretty sure the author is not american by some of the word usage. which i figure increases the #likelihood they know nothing about guns. plus not only that but i am born and raised and live in rural america #been around guns (mostly rifles) my whole life. this is not typical for large swaths of america! why is this bothering me so much #shut up brain. let it go brain. UGH #fyi: the gun used for russian roulette in Beasts Obsession? that is a revolver #russian roulette with the Glock Lewis had would have been a really short game 'cause even loading one bullet it would always #be at the top of the magazine. a revolver? spin the cylinder and the bullet can end up at any sequence in the firing order

Just found out why pharmacy manager has it out for me. It was one of those "have one conversation" type things. She saw me put my arms up during a disruptive persons incident a few months back, considered it "aggressive body language" and has been projecting it on my every encounter since. This morning my boss was like "I know it was months ago but do you remember why you did that" yeah boss, bc the guy in front of me said he was going to slash my throat and stab my stomach, and since he'd already struck someone 2x I considered it a credible threat. The way his eyes widened. Then I got to hit him w "do y'all read my reports orrrrr" which is always fun.

#but fuck me i guess #yeah youve never seen me try to defend myself except the one time and you never once wondered why that is #have one conversation! #i hate her so much literally she tried to have me fired over this last incident which again like we dont always control how they go #but thats her grudge is i thought i was about to be stabbed so i put my arms up #was she close enough to hear him threatening me? no. but did she think to ask? also no #i am the softest dude here like why would i try to defend myself if i didnt need to? you know how much shit ive let slide #just social worker stuff #my posts

Snap, ur basically a microceleberty on a tumblr blog. I would be surprised if your inbox WASN'T utter chaos with the amount of fandoms you're in.

dont call me a microcelebrity it's going to do irreparable damage to my ego and im going to become even more insufferable

#snap chats #HONESTLY ILL BE TBH RN something mustve shifted in the water cause only now are my RGG asks gettin wild #can we imagine the chaos if i actually did keep all my shit to one blog My Fucking God #see thats why i make new blogs tho to keep it all organized and so i can give the ecosystem time to heal before im found again :) #and then my inbox explodes #NO BUT REAL TALK REAL TALK i love how i can tell who's been on my trail and who legit just got here #cause people who Just Got Here ask me like #'actual' questions about the series or want to expand on a topic from the series #and then the people who been here are sending me asks abot king of skill and fire emblem #i love it it's a beautiful thing #but anyway to the 'microcelebrity' thing id hardly call myself that if i may be modest and/or an idiot #it never feels like it- i mean i get a lot of asks so that's one thing #i guess it's cause i never see myself mentioned outside my spaces which. #thatd imply im looking for people to say things about me..... which im not good god dont perceive me #at most i know someone reposted my DB animatic to reddit and that blew up #and i know the RGG reddit takes my posts a lot.

replaying fe3h and i firmly firmly believe that it is a crime thay sylvain doesn't get more a-level supports--though i'm sure this has been said before

and yeah, something something analysis of his character and how he tends to keep most people at arm's length and has trouble with true sincerity (just watched sylvain and lysithea's b support where this is briefly addressed) but like...

maybe they could have added a mechanic after a certain support or an additional part 2 paralogue for sylvain where a supports could be locked off until they're completed because he's not mature enough, willing enough, responsible enough, etc to connect with the people he engages with. but after the paralogue or whatever (really keen on the paralogue idea though) he starts that growth that leads him to become margave gautier

listen...homie doesn't even have an a support with dimitri and he grew up with him, right? how messed up is that? surely the major beats of their relationship doesn't end with sylvain hiding dimitri from a girl???

hmm hmm anyway i've grown very attached to sylvain and his untapped narrative potential and also he's my dancer on this playthrough plus rng somehow managed to turn him into a magical dancing monster and he always ends up on the front lines because i know he'll wreck everyone

#fire emblem three houses #fe3h #sylvain jose gautier #fire emblem #analysis #take what you will from this #but this is just barely scratching the surface of my thoughts about how much narrative potential in general we are missing in three houses #i am feeling very strongly about wanting to learn more about the crests and hero relics #i also came back to a theory i had about why cursed beasts form around people who don't have crests but are wielding or affected by a crest #or something artifically created to mimic a crest #also rewatching the scene where solon uses kronya as a sacrifice for the zahras spell?? and whatever he pulled out #looked and sounded suspiciously like a crest stone?? #which was likely something reverse-engineered by twsitd and thw agarthans #rofl anyway hit me up if you want to hear my ramblings on that too #and i'll make a post sooner rather than later #also i have dorovain brainrot and i'm writing a little something for them in between busy times
