#yes i’m maintagging this

[merlinsalt]

i think it’s difficult to understand the complexities of misa and light’s relationship unless you yourself have been through a toxic relationship.

my ex-girlfriend cornered me into a one-sided relationship and forced me to stay with her despite me telling her several times that i could not love her (i am aroace). but she put me into a position where i had to agree and never let me leave her, she would keep coming back and threatened me with the fact that she could destroy my social life at any moment and turn my circle of friends against me, due to her being at the top of our school’s social ladder and me being at the bottom. it took nearly a year for me to get out due to her constant gaslighting, and i managed to piss her off enough to make HER break it off.

the point of this is NOT to say that these experiences are equal to what happened between misa and light. i am not defending either of them. the point is that light did not “corrupt” misa. misa is not your cute little girlboss who can do no wrong. misa and rem still FORCED light into a relationship with misa despite him repeatedly saying “no,” or “i can’t be your boyfriend,” and so many people ignore that.

misa still did bad things. so did light. the situations they were BOTH under were likely extremely traumatizing. i don’t hate misa at all, nor do i hate light. i just think many people in this fandom are overlooking the fact that rem and misa still forced light’s hand.

No joke, if someone has janto in their username they’re way more likely to be a gwenbasher, and I just think janto would actually be disappointed in that :(

that’s their best friend and valued teammate they literally invited to play naked hide and seek with them, why do you think she’s getting in between them, they’d like that actually 😏

#torchwood #yes i’m maintagging this #i’m correct #janto purism gets nasty #she’s not an obstacle #she doesn’t need to be gotten out of the way #this got a bit goofy #but my point stands

Hermitcraft stage musical in the style of Cats (the stage musical not the movie) in which skizzleman (grizzabella analogue) wants very desperately to join the jellicle cats I mean hermits and sings memory and the rest is just the hermits singing and dancing about each other. At the end they nominate him to deactivate his channel or something idk I’ve never watched Cats (the stage musical not the movie)

#I’m stressed out again and it’s 5 am and I haven’t slept so I’m rewatching that one video that’s analysis of cats (2019) #so I noticed a parallel. sue me #hermitcraft #skizzleman #hermitblr #yes I’m maintagging this everyone needs to see this #astro speaks #sillyposting

Look, I love Jon as much as the next person but I think some of you have gone so far along the ‘Jon is a sad little man who did nothing wrong’ route that you’ve genuinely forgotten all the times he held power in a situation or like. Made a decision that hurt people

#yes Jon was in a terrible situation where he was manipulated and was often powerless and blamed for things he had no control over #yes there have been times where the fandom has been overly critical of Jon and it’s ok to try to combat that #but that does not mean Jon is completely powerless and ‘stupid’ and did nothing wrong!!!! #the entire Point of tma is that the morality of your actions and their results cannot be simply defined as good or bad #Jon was just a person who tried and sometimes failed #also it was a pretty big part of s5 that Jon was the most powerful person in the world. like. did we forget about the murders or #AND the stalking AND him being a totally arse to Martin in s1 #anyway I understand where the poor little meow meow characterisation comes from but to me it’s just doing a disservice to Jon #ugh I can’t believe I’m kinda engaging in discourse #gonna be brave and maintag this: #tma #the magnus archives #Jon sims #be nice to me pls

hm… no I don’t think Gertrude was feeling cold and uncaring when she sacrificed Michael. I don’t think she just dusted her hands off and walked away. I think she was used to risky plans and close calls, even used to an occasional casualty, but her blood ran cold when she realized she was choosing to send one to their death. not collateral damage — a sacrifice.

and I think she tried to be as numb as possible, calculating, deciding, even as she knew deep down that only one of her assistants would walk straight into hell on her word.

and I think she found him a bit annoying before that. the jaded resent the naive — it isn’t fair, but it’s true. but by the time he brought her tea the next day, in her mind, he was already dead. everyone looks better dead. optimism, trust, loyalty all become virtues where they were once liabilities.

I don’t think she didn’t feel the gravity of her choice. I think she did it anyway.

and she did not hesitate.

#the concept of necessary sacrifice makes me a little bite bite scratch bite #how do you choose one person to die for the safety of the world? #but that’s not the right question #how do you *not* make that choice? how do you let the world die? #be hated and reviled by everyone for your betrayal #but they wouldn’t be around to hate you if you hadn’t done it #augh #and yes I know it wasn’t technically necessary thank u mag 160 you sick bastard #but at the time she wouldn’t have known that #yes I’m a Michael stan and a Gertrude apologist. we exist. #fuck it maintagging #tma #michael distortion #michael shelley #gertrude robinson

Time for your yearly fucking reminder: DO NOT WATCH THE BAD BATCH. It’s racism, ableism, antisemitism, whitewashing CENTRAL. The cast & crew KNOW about the boycott and have done nothing for years. I don’t care if they brought Ventress back—go read a fanfic, it’ll do her better, the writing’s always been ass. Don’t buy merch, don’t draw fanart, don’t make trailer gifs, DON’T WATCH THE SHOW.

@unwhitewashthebadbatch has very detailed breakdowns of everything wrong with the show if you want more info/sources

If I had a nickel for every time my two favorites from a piece of media blew themselves up and got sent to prison I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice!

evolution smp 🤝 comics

having a pretty large backlog of content that many people are unwilling to consume before getting into the fandom so they make art/fic/posts from a “solely read fanfiction and not consumed the media itself” space and it results in beliefs about the world/characters/lore that are extremely divorced from the series itself overtaking the fan space.

#space rambles #lil hater moments #yes this post is why i made up that tag #i’ll be real. this is. perhaps a little mean. hence why i am not tagging it #not maintagging it i mean. i’m on mobile i’m not fixing that #but it’s true. and you know it #to be clear i am not a comics fan but a lot of my friends are #so i’m like. aware of this #but i think people writing watcher fic should do the thing that comics writers sometimes do #which is put in the notes/tags ‘i haven’t read the comics but i read fics i really liked’ #so that i know when i should leave #like i KNOW that eyes and ears is pretty divorced from evos lore at this point #it’s an au of the life series and also of evos #but that doesn’t mean knowing nothing about evos ISNT detrimental to how you think about the life series #because there is simply SO MUCH that we don’t know about eyes and ears #and you can either fill those gaps with things that are based in evos/informed by knowledge of evos #or you can. not. #this is ESPECIALLY true for depictions of the listeners but it’s also obviously true of the watchers #like i’m sure i’ve encountered good content about the watchers from people who have not watched evos/know nothing about it #just like. statistically. #i suspect it was probably content having to do w/ martyn specifically. most specifically having to do w/ the void #cause like. idk i trust martyn writers most of the time #but i digress #this wasn’t supposed to be a rant. i am so sorry

i am. a little bit obsessed with the noise aziraphale makes in the new clip when gabriel uses the books as a fly swatter. like obsessed in an incredibly normal and unconcerning way. you know

god. one of these days i’ll write up a post abt martyn and grian and then it’s OVER for y’all

#not something i’m gonna maintag but while i’m here #i’m gonna be a hater for a second #it always makes me fucking grit my teeth and try not to scream whenever people are like #OOOUOUUOOHHH THE NARRATIVE FOILS #because. because ok. #YES. you are RIGHT. but oh my god the analysis does not STOP THERE. #i also just hate when people are like #foils are when characters are opposite. we should arbitrarily create a dichotomy in their actions that makes no goddamn sense #i once saw someone be like THE FOIILLSSS they’re both doomed by the narrative but grian accepts it and martyn fights it at every opportunity #which by the way. NOT WHAT DOOMED BY THE NARRATIVE MEANS. #but also ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND sorry #you’re telling me martyn Watchers Specialest Little Champion littlewood is defying the narrative? fr? #also sorry. when has grian been passively accepting of anything ever #i just. i just…. ugghghghh…….. #i need to grip them in my big evil fists #i’m crazy abt them but in a different weird way #mouse.txt

“My Time Capsule was developed to trade things with the past! But you can’t trade anything that didn’t exist in the past. If you did, the PC in the past would have a breakdown. So you have to remove anything that wasn’t around in the past.” - Bill, Pokemon Crystal (emphasis mine)

The Gen 2 Time Capsule really is one of the most casually “wait, what the FUCK?!” concepts in Pokemon, but I forgot the explanation really does straight-up use the words “didn’t exist” when referring to new moves and Pokemon. Not “weren’t discovered.” Which I have to assume was a choice the localization made due to space constraints for the text, right? Because… I mean, it would have to be. But which is nonetheless hilarious and yet more evidence of the Pokemon Multiverse being one in which every subsequent generation is in its own universal family, and every cartridge its own universe within that family.

Also, because hold items didn’t exist in Gen 1, the Time Capsule implicitly can only truly transport Poke Balls, which adds a HILARIOUS implication to the climax of Scarlet/Violet even if AI Turo/Sada is seemingly capable of using it themselves. Humans CAN go into the Time Capsule, they just can’t ENTER the new time themselves… but presumably robots are immune.

#pokemon #pokemon blogging #regalli plays pokemon crystal #pokemon multiverse #yes I’m maintagging my longstanding crack theory #alternately the AI is considered somehow a Pokemon #in line with how the same game gives us SO MANY living machines who are Pokemon in the Violet side Paradoxes #(manmade Pokemon have been a canonical thing since the start consider Porygon.)

Having so many thoughts about papyrus and how the fandom at large doesn’t get him. If you even care

#the audhd coded ever #he is not your precious cinammon roll too good for this world #that’s a whole adult man #who is infantilized by his own friends #he doesn’t need the fandom to act like he can’t take care of himself too #Toriel can’t even hold back enough to not kill you like he can by the way #and she’s got a boss monster lifespan and experience #that illustrates a huge amount of magical control imo? like I’m sure part of it is lack of harmful intent but. Tori would lack that #also just #stop infantilizing neurodivergent people who are naive to the bad in the world #they know more than anyone thinks #as an audhd person who sees the good in people and wants to help even when it’s probably a scam or whatever… #bleh #maybe papyrus is just a lot like me and my friends and I’m tired of how flanderized he is in the fandom #undertale #yes i am maintagging this #papyrus ut
