#ye of little faith

[valyrfia]

speaking my truth with regards to many anons currently in my askbox but how are you going to say that charles’s performance has been unacceptable when he’s had seven front row starts in a row and hasn’t finished outside the top 5 since suzuka last year bffr. if charles had pushed back against team orders and fought and overtaken carlos would’ve gotten p3 due to cooking tyres trying to defend and ferrari would’ve lost three points in the constructors. charles drove flawlessly in the race, he just didn’t pull it together in quali ONE time out of eight due to engineers reworking the car not to his liking - something not entirely in his control.

#some of us have gotten a little too complacent with Charles pulling off masterclasses every weekend #ye of little faith #i don’t love Carlos winning over Charles as much as the next person but bffr to say it’s unacceptable is laughable #wise up #charles leclerc #formula 1

the fandom really goes up and down like a 🎢 from JKs bed live and then today — imissed his live today so I’m not really sure why the sudden change in feelings?? Also tae going to JKs performance doesn’t change anything ? Suga and jhope went to Jimins, jk didn’t got to Jimins.

And still people are trying to ignore their nyc trip!

This fandom is making me insane. I don't understand this at all. They're being reactionary 13-year-olds emotionally if not in reality. Why is it problematic for a man to have friends outside his romantic relationship? Tae and JK are FRIENDS. They're BROTHERS. They're some of the closest people in each other's lives and they love each other. And that has NOTHING to do with Jikook and whether or not they're real.

Touch grass and grow up, children. Seriously. Mama and Daddy need to take the internet away until you're mature enough to use it.

can't believe an anime called buddy daddies did not end up being, in fact, just a silly little comedy of two hitmen raising a child together but instead an actual heartwarming, well written show about (re)learning to love and to be loved, about how the meaning of family goes way beyond blood and no matter how unconventional it may be, it's still as perfect and valid because it's yours and you wouldn't trade it for anything else

#it was a silly little comedy #but it was also More than that #and if i CRY #at first i was like haha buddy daddies as a joke but bro i dont think it's a joke anymore #i feel so normal about this anime (no i dont) (it altered my brain chemistry in ways i cannot explain) #yes i do have complaints about certain ~ things ~ of the ending like almost everyone else BUT #that doesn't take away the fact it was a surprisingly well written anime given the topic they chose to work with #like i had no faith At All the first time i read the synopsis lmao but here we are #buddy daddies #miri unasaka #rei suwa #kurusu kazuki #misaki unasaka #kugi kyutaro #edit: if u saw me write heart wrenching instead of heartwarming no u didn't #gonna use my english is not my first language card

#galarian slowpoke #picture this. this was the first pokémon revealed from the new DLCs for pokémon sword and shield. the pokémon company #up until this point‚ has never done DLC for a pokémon game before. you‚ having been jaded by shitty DLCs for other games in the past #now have a distaste for the phrase‚ and imagine this can't be good. then‚ in their teaser for the new DLC‚ they add a little event #into the game where they reveal one of the new pokémon that is going to be added in the DLC #and it is a galarian form. that is identical to the original pokémon. but with a yellow head #are you imagining it. now how fucking disappointed are you. how little faith do you have in that DLC that it's going to be as good as it wa #for the most part‚ the pokémon company has demonstrated that they do absolutely excellent DLCs. proper expansions #basically an entire other game on top of the game you already have. and they typically take up the release cycle of a full game #scarlet/violet's especially. WONDERFUL dlc. i never really properly finished the crown tundra just because i was so late to the party #because i avoided buying the dlc for so long because of this experience that i've just described to you #that by the time i bought it and played it‚ it was just because SV had been announced and i wanted more pokémon to tide me over #and i never finished it. one of these days‚ i'd like to go back and finish it‚ but i'm playing through pokémon xd gale of darkness right no #and i prefer to play. one game at a time. and i don't know when i'll ever really get back to it #or if i'll ever get back to it! 'cause without resetting my save file all the way i'll just have to Remember what it is that already happen #which i'm. notoriously bad at when it comes to coming back to games that i haven't played in a while #plus i know sv is like shitty performance or whatever but the movement in that game is so much better #it feels so much more freeing than going back to gen 8 where you can still just. run. and that's it #i know nobody likes scarlet/violet but i still. like it. performance aside. like yes the performance is terrible but i still had a great #time with it. i just praised its DLC for fuck's sake! its DLC was fuckin wonderful! it has kieran in it so it like can't be bad

So I've already shared parts of this on a discord server, but I have to scream about Ketheric Thorm on here as well. Obviously spoilers about the character under the cut! It's a long one.

The entirety of act 2 is about him, right? Jaheira, Shadowheart and numerous other NPCs shit on him for his fickle faith. First Selune, then Shar, then, as we meet him, Myrkul. You hear about his changes of faith on a whim, you hear that he's the person responsible for the shadow curse, he is painted as a villain, plain and simple.

You can figure it out pretty early on that Isobel was resurrected and that she is his daughter; the detail as well that he wants Isobel alive is so on the nose, it gives him away completely but there are still a few questions that remain unanswered, mainly about his faith.

And then you get to the mausoleum and the picture assembles; this entire tragedy, the death of hundreds if not thousands and the complete ruination of a landscape was all, ALL because you had this absolutely wrenched, heartbroken father who had lost everything and nobody answered his grief. He was left woefully alone, the Goddess whose daughter his daughter was involved with did nothing to save Isobel.

Imagine outliving your wife and your daughter. Imagine dedicating your life to fight the Lady of Loss, your Lady of Silver's enemy, and then be left so completely alone and in silence with your grief, with your loss. It's so, so poetic how and why he turned from Selune, and it's so understandable as well; he broke. His spirit completely broke. He couldn't deal with that void of having lost the only two important people in his life, seemingly undeservedly so. He was going mad with this and a lot of his ire was likely targeted at Aylin who, in his eye, represented Selune; she's literally her daughter, after all, and it was implied that even before the deaths of his family, he sort of saw Aylin courting Isobel as Selune taking his daughter from him, despite his service. This relationship was clearly not seen by him as a boon of "giving his daughter to the Moon-maiden".

His ways in the past clearly didn't spare him from tragedy and having to cope with it (which he clearly didn't, he snapped under the weight of his grief). He was clearly angry and unable to do anything, furious and helpless, which is a dangerous combination. A good part of his first change of heart must have been fuelled by a sense of revenge.

But then Shar didn't provide any balm to his aching heart either. If you read his letters in Grymforge and in act 2, he is so focused on enacting the will of Shar because he believes that healing lies in oblivion. Everything would be easier if he could just forget, if the damn world could just forget, if nothing was remembered because without Melodia and Isobel, nothing was worth remembering.

Then came Myrkul. Literally the only god who was not only able, but WILLING to give back his daughter to him. Imagine spending your all, EVERYTHING you have to serve two gods who would not give a single shit about the greatest suffering in your life. You were basically nothing, your loyalty didn't matter for shit, everything that was taken from you amounted to no recognition whatsoever: you should simply cope and seethe. Your grief will not simply go unanswered (which is not inherently antagonising) but ignored.

And then comes this supposedly evil entity who can alleviate your pain just like that, snap of a finger and it's a done deal.

I am so serious when I say that I believe Ketheric's main incentive was to extend Aylin's immortality to Isobel as well. You can read in her diary that she feels a taint after having came back, and there are things not even Selune can cleanse, but at this point, Ketheric doesn't care about Selune, vengeance is secondary if not tertiary, he's done that war during his Shar years and what did it give him? Literally nothing.

He doesn't even care about the fact that Isobel is still her cleric. He cares about the single most important fact: Isobel is back. Life is worth living again, there is something for him, and it was not Selune or Shar who gave it to him but Myrkul, and for this singular gift, he would raze the world for the Lord of Bones. Like people can clown on him for being disloyal but the man has the loyalty of a dog bonded to its owner.

He is powerful and is willing to go to insane lengths for crumbs. What is raising a single life for a god? Nothing. It has happened and it will happen again. But Ketheric will go to the ends of the earth to serve the single god who actually listened to him. The one god who didn't ignore him.

He knows that what he does is not the morally upright thing! He is so insanely self-aware that allying with Orin and Gortash and doing this entire plot with them only to then betray them is morally reprehensible at the best of times, he knows that people hate him, etc-etc. He was a Selunite at one point and he's not stupid. He just doesn't care; it could be literal Asmodeus and he wouldn't care as long as he got what he wanted, no matter the price.

He is probably the only one from the three of the chosen who has complete clarity over his situation, he almost sways (if you pass the check during his confrontation), he is not an inherently evil man blinded by power.

But he is inherently loyal to those deserving, and as of the story's standing, completely broken by his grief. In his eyes, at this point, the only one deserving loyalty is the one who actually listened to him. Isobel lives. It doesn't matter that she hates him, that his entire life has fallen apart, that literally nothing else that is good has come of it, because Isobel lives.

I don't think he regrets a single thing. His consciousness might tear at him at the end, but I believe he would do everything over again, exactly as he did, because in the end, his daughter was brought back. Because what would a grieving, broken parent give to bring back their child? Everything. Absolutely everything. And it's such a simply given answer, no second thoughts, no doubts.

Nobody can tell me that this man is fickle. Nobody. This man was willing to burn the world to the ground, create a Boudica destruction layer all by himself for the one single thing he wanted. For any God that would listen.

I don't know, I just have a lot of thoughts about his character.

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #ketheric thorm #and I also have a lot of thoughts of how Aylin foils him #I fully believe that he was in the right in the capacity that he switched around his gods when he was literally ignored despite his life's #work. despite all that he has given. I think it's reasonable to expect in the world of gods who actively meddle in mortal affairs on their #whims and make shit worse that in just one single case they would. idk. NOT expect one of their devotees to remain blindly loyal to them #after their prayers go unanswered. like yes; go and try your luck elsewhere because this devotion of yours is clearly being taken for #granted. you get NOTHING out of your worship. you can't even sleep well because your loved ones are dead and you are expected to just what? #deal with it on your own? and remain loyal? why? #some sense of 'honour'? #I really like this depiction of faith actually. I really like when clerics and paladins are given agency and critical thought that hey! #this is actually giving me nothing despite me dedicating my entire life to it! and I have only one of it so why not take it somewhere where #it's actually valued. you know. as a treat. #I *personally* much more prefer this depiction of a crisis of faith than what we got with Shadowheart or Lae'zel; their stories are very #interesting on their own but I think throwing yourself from one end to the other not because you actually have a goal that it could serve #but because you are desperate for a purpose #is a slightly less potent character narrative than having an actual goal yourself. not by much but by a little. #again #PERSONALLY

starting to think they finished playing it takes two without filming it

quitter talk!!! i did not wait 5 years for dapg to come back for us to give up on a series after 4 months!! they took a year to finish undertale!! (jan 17 2016 - dec 23 2016, plus, an additional year to show the sans fight on dec 19 2017) they will be back for us!!

also I do think it might be noteworthy that Ares in the show was like "You guys are so behind schedule" when in the book the trio were arguably making fairly good (or at least okay) time until they got stuck at the Lotus Hotel and lost five days. Like sure maybe show Ares was just picking at them but it also does makes me wonder if the show is intending to tweak the time loss aspect of the story line.

#I hope they dont but like I am ye of little faith #I think they're going to focus on Hermes a wee bit too much here in the episode and that will likely unnecessarily bog down the story a bit #I never thought one my complaints about the show would be that that the gods are TOO involved in the storyline now but like #yeah #pjo show crit

God, I hope Kyoshi possesses Roku in the next novel. Like partially cause it'd be so funny jkdlsjf;a But also I think it would be a cool teaching moment for Roku, and also a cool set up for Atla like....: Kyoshi: So sometimes, under certain circumstances, I can take over your body. Roku: Wow. Can the others do that? Kyoshi, waves hand side to side: Eh. Roku: Can YOU teach me? Kyoshi: Only if you promise to let me take over at least once with the next airbender. Roku, grinning: As a prank? Kyoshi, also grinning: As a prank!

#Roku: KYOSHI THIS WAS A HORRIBLE PRANK! #kyoshi: i think it's funny. #roku: aang's going to die! #Kyoshi: ye have little faith #kuruk def possessed Kyoshi when kelsang died #she just didn't know and Jianzhu was buried and didn't see/realize #chronicles of the avatar #kyoshi #roku #avatar the last airbender #atla #rise of kyoshi #shadow of kyoshi #reckoning of roku #let kyoshi have some fun! #(at the expense of aang TT0TT oh no)

Now I’m just gettin’ frustrated with fandom.

Am I still on 423 bullshit train? Yes. This chapter is insane and all it feels like everywhere I go, everyone is assuming the absolute worst of it all. So I’m calling out another wild accusation I see people frequently making.

People think Bakugo murdered Kurogiri/Shirakumo and I have to ask.

WHY DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THIS HORSESHIT?

DO PEOPLE REALLY THINK THIS IS HOW MIC IS GOING TO RESPOND WITNESSING ONE OF HIS STUDENTS MURDER HIS BEST FRIEND WHEN HE JUST GOT HIM BACK AFTER LOSING HIM FROM HIS DAYS AT UA? AND THEN ALSO HAVE NO RESPONSE FROM AIZAWA?

REALLY?

And how is Bakugo supposed to respond after the fact? ‘Oh sorry senseis I murdered your best friend without even thinking lol oops 🤗’

Does no one think that Bakugo blasting the portal was just an interruption of Shirakumo trying to sacrifice himself for the 2nd time? You guys do know it takes two portals to warp someone right? Just because Bakugo destroyed one portal doesn’t mean he destroyed Kurogiri with it. We did not witness what happened at the 2nd portal.

Does no one think this is the moment in which the core of Aizawa’s teachings is paying off? Not to be a self-sacrificing suicidal blockhead? Wouldn’t it make sense to involve the character who is responsible for the core of that teaching existing in the first place?

This was not a heroic self-sacrificing moment. Kurogiri/Shirakumo did not have the confidence in Deku stopping AFO in that moment like Deku’s friends did. That’s why Kurogiri/Shirakumo trying to jump in failed. Aizawa’s students just taught Shirakumo what Aizawa taught them and it’s fucking BEAUTIFUL.

Shirakumo already had his ‘death’ (as did Bakugo!) and now…

Boy can’t graduate if he makes the same mistake and dies again.

Which point makes more sense in that moment? Bakugo murdering Mic and Aizawa’s best friend in front of them or Aizawa’s teachings to his students paying off and saving his best friend? Come on, guys…
