THE WALKING DEAD ( 2010 - 2022 )
Ao3 is down I'm going to fucking kill myself, which I'd really rather not because that will activate like 5 different suicide pacts, which will in turn aclimate like 23 more suicide pacts which will turn into a whole suicide pact chain reaction and I just think that'd be kind of messy is all
anakin skywalker + The Spin
Luke's monologue hits so much harder since they spent literally the whole season emphasizing how unfair and neglectful the gods are. Like he doesn't seem as much of a villain as he did in the book?! AND they had Annabeth listening in?! All I can hear is Luke's voice echoing "she's my little sister..." in my head over and over and over and I want to curl up into a ball and die.
“Percy’s special”
Oh I’m not gonna make it.
Seeing this kind of bullying in tv (actual realistic bullying, most people won’t like, push you and hit you or anything, since that way they’ll get caught, so they keep it simple and nobody does anything because they don’t see it as bullying) just took me back to school and holy shit. The way Nancy Bobofit pronounces the word special, like if it was disgusting, I think that’s very important representation. Because we know Percy has adhd, of course we know, but in the later books this fact has been pushed aside. Rick doesn’t really add much adhd traits and struggles in his books compared to in his first book. And meanwhile I knew about Percy’s time in school, seeing it is so so different and it’s not often bullying is shown this way and seeing a story of a bullied character, who’s deemed weird and “special” who then goes and saves the world and has lots of friends and a romantic partner, that’s really important for kids. For kids and for me. I’ll shut up I’m sorry I just have lots of feelings about it like I get it percy, I get it.
babe i really can't talk right now i'm in the middle of pacing around the house while listening to music
look me in the eye and tell me this isn't one of the coolest shots in any star wars tv episode. and don't even get me started on when his voice overlapped with Vader's-
I know a lot has happened in today's leak and I don't want to be one of those people who focus only on their favorite character, but this issue was honestly so infuriating. This "angry arrogant brat who puts his father on a pedestal" portrayal of Damian is soooooo fucking outdated, has Zdarsky even picked any Damian's comic from the last 8 years?
Have you read the first issue of B&R 2023 last month? Damian was slamming his door on Bruce's face each time he tried making small talk with him, Robin 2021? Bruce was literally chasing Damian and begging for his forgiveness for an entire year? There's really no logical reason why Damian would be so fiercely protective of Bruce or passionately fight on his side, especially considering how Bruce is currently acting, but to have him be so aggressive and condescending toward the others is so regressive and degrading toward his character.
Like I know Tim is his favorite, we can tell by how he had Bruce listing all the things that make Tim better than the other Robins as well as having Tim literally descending in an angelic light to save Bruce just a couple of issues ago, but Damian's cameo in this was so unnecessary and probably happened so that Tim's writers can once again make Tim look good by putting other characters down.
But hey, they had Tim hugging Damian at the end so lets all aww at their "brotherism" and ignore everything else.
