My Carrd
I think, ultimately, the debate on whether Bear’s wish was a sign of villainy or just normal disappointment is irrelevant. I think the scene is more for the audience to question a common practice: wishing.
Four leaf clovers, throwing coins into fountains, plucking flower petals, birthday candles, prayer etc. Wishing is a common practice. Wishing for your crush to like you back or the recruiter to choose you, wishing that you win first place. Yes, when people wish it’s not serious, but we also do it on the off-chance that wishing works.
How many of our wishes, if they actually came true, would hurt someone else or violate their autonomy?
about the sansa post! i do get where ur coming from but i feel like u might've overlooked the fact that what sansa had on joff wasn't just a crush. she was, for all intents and purposes, supposed to be his wife, queen and the mother of his children. i dont think its surprising that she'd try to defend him or ignore the red flags when sansa longed for a prince who loved her and who'd never harm her. even in her pov when the arya/joffrey fight happens, we do see sansa snap out of this delusion for a moment when joff snaps at her. another thing is that sansa was also drunk(or at least more than a little tipsy) during said scene.
and tbh sansa fighting with arya, calling her ugly or being mad is pretty understandable, even if it was cruel. sansa, in her mind, was acting truly like a lady was supposed to, not fighting, being graceful and so on, and got punished for arya's actions in her stead. it wasnt just a mere punishment like taking away a privilege or a toy, it was lady being killed. even ned notes that she was the smallest and the most trusting of the litter. i doubt sansa truly meant it when she said that she wished arya to die instead of lady either. we rarely mean things we say while angry, hurt and wronged.
anyways no hate just my view on it and im not trying to make u like her, just explaining her pov a little more. and while idk how far ur into the books, this video explains sansa and her pov very well if u were interested👍
not me missing this for over a year 😓 I get where you're coming from. At the end of the day, Sansa is a child and I'm not going consider the devil for being one. Honestly, I just feel bad for her current position in the books.
#Please little bird
I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.
DO NOT IGNORE THE BIRD OF LUCK <3
No but some of these work like “Roger the Fish”
Getting into a series older than you sucks because there’s decades of fandom discourse that you unintentionally wade into when you share your thoughts. For example, a Sansa stan accusing me of being an Arya stan because I disliked how mean Sansa was to her younger sister. Now my dumbass wants to look into discussing how GRRM might have made Dani a white savior but that’s also fandom stan discourse.
I love Dani but I think she has characteristics of the trope and that this is a book series started in the 90s by a white, who has done a pretty great job with his female characters.
And before someone asks, I am a black woman. No i am not anti Daenerys, she is on of my favs from asioaf.
Welcome back to reviews no one asked me for:
Knights of Guinevere Episode 1
My dash did a thing
we are all going to be disappeared and it's worth every post
sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and put "text your friend whom you love and genuinely want to talk to" on your to-do list because otherwise it is not getting done
honestly so glad this one is gaining traction. just saw it in my notifications and went "MAN ALRIGHT" to text yet another person i have been genuinely wanting to text back for days
People are going to start villainizing a woman because she interferes with their gay ship again and the fandom this time is “The Summer Hikaru Died.”
I like all the main characters and I especially like the relationship Hikaru and Yoshiki have with Kurebayashi. I love a good allegory as much as the next nerd, but an allegory isn’t the text or page. Yes, I see and agree with the interpretation that Rei represents the kind person who genuinely supports lgbt people but is way too quiet about it. She’s someone who prefers to conform for safety.
BUT
in text, Hikaru is a dangerous entity. It’s like having a tiger as a pet. Yes, he loves Yoshiki and he’s doing his best to not cause undue harm, but much like a wild animal, he still causes a lot of damage unintentionally. And intentionally, Hikaru killed that lady a while back. Hikaru is from a separate world that tends to have negative affects on the “human” world bc they aren’t, currently, capable of proper communication. We have no clue of the effects of mixing their souls and it could harm Yoshiki. I know Hikaru doesn’t want that.
Rie wanting Yoshiki to have the chance at living is understandable. Wanting him to be able to enjoy a “normal” life because he’s a 16 yo boy who has barely lived is understandable. This shit is scary 😭
Yes, allegory but I hope people don’t hate her because of what she metaphorically represents. They aren’t living a queer narrative (well Yoshiki, Hikaru and the girls are), they’re living a lovecraft novel.
Edit: when I say interfere with gay ship, it’s because a decent chunk of the hate I’ve seen is painting Rie as homophobic in text or mad that she’s daring to separate them.
Superman (2025) Ramble Review
(Spoilers, obvi)
Slade: You kids are making it too complicated. Back in my day, we didn't even talk about that sort of thing. Dick, half asleep: Yeah, because 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' was soooo much better. Slade: All I'm saying is, a warm body is a warm body, and a nice ass is a nice ass. But kids these days have to go and call it something ridiculous. Dick: Well, based on what you said, 'kids these days' would probably call you pansexual. Slade: Pan--what? Dick: It means you're equally attracted to all genders. Slade, laying naked in bed with him after they just spent two hours having sex: What kind of faggot shit is that?
The "No Kill" Rule
I'm very much in the camp that finds the no killing rule stupid, specifically how it's often portrayed in DC Comics with Batman. Understand, I don't believe Bruce should kill. I find it an interesting facet of his character and his neurotic tendencies.
No, it brings up philosophical discussion. A lot of DC fans act like a hero killing is the end of days. There is not always a peaceful solution, and the belief that everyone can be redeemed is naive at best. Of course, the crux of the issue is the nature of comics.
Deontology vs Utilitarianism. I've seen that thrown around and I like it. Keeping to your principles or sacrificing yourself for the greater good?
Something I've always done, even as a child, was put my ocs in other worlds. How would x react to y? Who would they get along with, who would they hate?
In one particular story, those ocs would dislike Bruce at best and abhor him at worst. I've been imaging the discussions and the arguments they would have. One of those ocs is a huge philosophy nerd, it's how he's coped with the life he's lived and the choices he's made. To him, while both seek to improve lives what they're willing to sacrifice is different.
My ocs will sacrifice their souls, will force themselves to do horrible things if it ensures the safety of others. They will make that hard choice so no one else has to. Most of them work to create a reality where people like them no longer need to exist. They are not good people and they will never claim to be.
To them, Bruce and many of the other heroes, do not put the well-being of innocent lives above their principals. (Keep in mind: I mean the universes where Bruce does stuff like save the joker not hoping that Poison Ivy can get some mental help. Not that level of over (hehe) kill). They would not expect heroes to go around killing bad guys, but would find it evil that they prevent others from doing so. Mostly Bruce. Sorry, Bruce fans. Seriously, some of these writers need to be shamed.
They do not strive to be beacons of hope which allows them more wiggle room in their actions.
I don't think heroes should just kill every one. That's ridiculous. It does make me wonder how they would handle scenarios where killing is unavoidable. Wars, revolutions, etc. How would Bruce handle things like the UHS shooting?
ok, now for dumb fun. My ocs' opinions on Bruce:
Karin: Likes him, but believes he is a bad mentor/adult figure to his sidekicks.
Garland: Neutral-positive. He finds the no-kill rational ineffective. This view becomes hate bc of how he treats Dick.
Leo: Neutral. He doesn't care about Bruce at all. If there was a need, he would swipe the bat symbol and give no shits. It isn't copyrighted
Kaelin-Dislike. Bruce reminds him of his parent. Said parent hates him and has actively tried to kill him multiple times.
Ken-Hates the whole batfamily, Jason and Alfred included. Literally, if it wasn't for the law of this land (his friends) he'd kill them out of annoyance.
Sora-Neutral-positive. She finds it hypocritical that the no kill rule doesn't seem to extend past humans. She will respect the symbol and avoid killing in gotham.
Allison-lmaoooooooo. The only reason she hasn't killed Bruce Wayne is because Jason hasn't asked her to. Not to be oc x canon, she's a lesbian, but they're good friends and when he died, she was pissed.
Yusuf, Marik, Emily: legit don't care. They just want to go to bat burger.
It's amazing how Snow's own pettiness leads to the end of the Capitol. He exclusively uses sticks instead of carrots. Sure, the victors won, but they're more under his thumb than the average resident. Out of the pan into the fire.
Snow of all people should know what desperation does. He should remember how he felt when he thought he had nothing left.
Like the raven, Plutarch, said with everything gone, you have nothing to lose.
Empires decline, and one consistent, major sign is the downtrodden. When people have nothing to lose and nothing to live for, they do not fear dying.
Yeah, he can snatch the tributes' kids, like Ampert, and throw them into the games, but then what? You can't bargain with a corpse.
Haymitch lost everything. Snow refuses to offer katniss a carrot after the victory tour...
Mind you, I'm going off of the 2 most recent books and my memory from ten years ago. And this is just a thought I had while I'm rereading catching fire.
Fear isn't a sustainable control tactic.
How i feel about the gems
Phos-my baby. They did nothing wrong*
Cinnabar-i liked her but felt disappointed towards the end. I was happy when they were happy.
Bort-funny. I do think they're too stubborn
Dia-liked and I think she's adorable. Mad that she didn't care about phos being gone for 200 years
Euclase-she's fine. I don't hate her and liked her at some points
Lapis-lmao haunts the narrative, 10/10 schemer. Love her
Ghost Quartz-wish she had lasted longer
Caingorn-anything pre assmunch i love. Post...good for you but also ewwwwwwww
Yellow- I'm so sorry

Papda-fav, chill to the end, amazing hair
Rutile-liked then disliked after they lose it
Antarc-sweetie

Amethysts-fine. I liked 84 as a scientist.
Alexandrite-Neutral
The rest-I kept mixing everyone up except for a few. I have no opinions
*obviously they made mistakes. It's a joke.
(by popular demand…well not really but i know y’all liked that that one dia post so have another to go with the three i’ve done of my fave sadistic ballerina!)
I don’t think Phos manipulated anyone
(Here me out) whole manga spoilers
I read all 108 chapters of Houseki no Kuni Saturday and have spent the last two days processing by reading and watching others’ thoughts and analyses. Many people seem to consider Phos promising to help Cinnabar as coming from a selfish place intentionally. Maybe I misunderstood because I binge read the entire series but I saw Phos’ motivation as selfless.
Phos is not valued by their fellow gems—though the true extent of that isn’t revealed until much later—and yet Cinnabar saves her. To me, Phos was so grateful for this kindness that they wanted to repay Cinnabar. I’m not saying some selfishness wasn’t wrapped up in their future actions but the initial desire to help,that promise was from true selflessness.
