Couldnt Have Said It Better Myself - Tumblr Posts

when the cycle of abuse continues to cycle </3

So much good angstttt in this episodeeee

"I'm gonna lock you in a box." (the unsaid 'like you did to me')

"You used me" "Stop calling me Moon" "I had jack diddly fucking squat" "I didn't have friends, I was a replacement"

and of course

"NONE OF YOU REALIZED I'M MY OWN PERSON!"

with every word that leaves Nexus' mouth it's like another knife is wrought upon me bleeding heart man

GOD I WISH MONTY WOULDN'T HAVE INTERVENED. SUN WAS FINALLY STARTING TO APOLOGIZE TO NEXUS' FACE. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING THEREEE. however Sun showing worry after Nexus was shot (he even called him Moon. which is both good and bad cause SUN PLEASE NEXUS IS NOT MOON HE'S *NEXUS* PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT HE'S LITERALLY BEGGING YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT. but also oh my god a part of Sun still sees Nexus as Moon. explodes and throws up and dies) and him still seeming icked by the concept of killing Nexus makes me smile. don't give up on him. go bright boy go

...and also chat this could 100% be me. but was the concept of star-powered bullets funny to anyone else. like. that's some shit straight out of an anime, that's hilarious. canon i can't take that seriously that shit is so funny im crhyinh

hey i'm not singling anyone out or anything but just an fyi- i'm not gonna post asks that make fun of or put down thin people's bodies. i'm trying to make a space in this fandom that's inclusive, not exclusive to fat people. ok? 💜

"Worry about the bob sis" IM CACKLING

I have a few mixed feelings about Restoration, and I knew I would, as someone who has complicated feelings towards a lot of the post-S14 material. I can excuse most of the things I dislike about it by reminding myself that the real-life circumstances (fuck you, Zaslav) were absolutely a factor here. But one thing I definitely really loved was the "simulations" retcon.

The reveal that Season 15-17 were the product of Epsilon's hyper-accurate, transcendent foresight that he achieved in his final moments, and that Restoration itself could very well be just another of these simulations (via the gag about Epsilon not being sure whether he got Caboose's voice right) throws the doors wide open.

Because now, anything that happened post-13 is up in the air. Anything they made after that point could be what really happened. Anything you made after that point could be what really happened too, throwing back to VIC's speech at the end of Season 14. Epsilon ran dozens of simulations and some of them (Zero) are noted as being extremely unlikely and just there to amuse Epsilon himself, and can that label not be applied to many a fanfic?

Heck, the introduction of Epsilon's recordings and the Recovery Unit means that, if you want to bring back Church and Tex, you can, and Restoration did. If you want your "Everybody Lives" ending, it's now an entirely possible thing within the setting.

The last thing RT did with RvB was restore the ambiguity of Season 13's ending, and throw the doors wide open for us to do whatever we like with it.

If you prefer Restoration's more sombre ending, you can have that. If you prefer the Season 15-17 arc and the continued development for the Reds in particular, then hey, Restoration is just another simulation of what might've happened, and Epsilon's S15-17 simulation is the most accurate one. If you like Zero... I guess you can have that. If you still think RvB should've ended at Season 13, then none of them are accurate. Hell, if you've got a favourite fanfic that you like more than the official post-14 material, congrats, now that's your continuation.

Is Restoration perfect? No. Did it need to be? No. Am I glad we got it? Yes.

Thanks, RT. Thanks to Burnie, Monty, Miles, Joe, Jason, and everybody else that wrote, directed, voiced, animated, made music for, did anything for this funny little show about idiots in a box canyon in the middle of nowhere.

THIS RIGHT HERE.🫡

the difference between black reader fics and non-black reader fics is that us black authors make it known that y/n is black. most of us include that in our notes. as for the non-black readers, y’all swear up and down that y/n is neutral, but always describe y/n as white or someone with fair skin. if we being real, black reader fics are more neutral than the neutral fics y’all swear y’all write. with the exception of skin color and hair texture, the way we describe our reactions are more inclusive. (ex. skin feeling hot as suppose to cheeks turning red) if your fic is self-indulgent just say that. hell. make it an OC if you got to. but this y/n’s knuckles do not turn white. 🗿

there is something so sexy about books, like i cant put into words, but the concept of this small object having the power to change people's lives and evoke so many emotions with just a few squibbles is so fucking sexy

Can we talk about how everyone in the Port Mafia knew Ango was a spy for Mimic. But no one knew Tachihara was a spy.

Mori found out from Yosano. No one else knew, not even Dazai knew anything about the 5th Hunting Dog.

Tachihara was acting his little heart out and slapping a plaster on his nose every morning.

And it worked.

#trans is my biggest hobby... and my greatest fear.

I don’t understand how there’s no Black Widow movie. A little girl being taught to be a spy from childhood. Destroying her youth and innocence and learning to kill. Competing against 27 other girls to stay alive. Being pushed to the breaking point morally, physically, and emotionally. Seeing The Red Room forge her into a weapon. The beginning of her career - assassinating diplomats, manipulating prisoners of Russia, outsmarting SHIELD. Backstory to Drakov, Sal Paulo, the hospital fire, and Budapest. And then a rookie SHIELD agent has her in sight on his scopes. His finger is in the trigger, but he hesitates. She looks scared. She looks tired. She looks like a fighter. So, he brings her in, and takes her under his wing. From a child assassin to a Russian defector. And they could throw Bucky and Yelena in there, along with Clint and Fury, and maybe even a Peggy Carter/Dottie Underwood Red Room origin story.

Like, who heard that and went - ‘no, I’m gonna go with Spiderman for the third time, and this guy who can talk to ants’?!

yes I'm aroace but I'm also so so gay

one of the best feelings in the world is when a non porn blog with "sapphic wlw men dni" in the bio starts following me and liking all the nasty dykebreaking and graphic sex clips i post. it's happened more times than i can count, i swear repressed "lesbians" might be the nastiest group on this site

That’s how it starts 💖 and look, if one of those said lesbians is reading this right now: your secret is safe with me! (As long as you have your age in your bio, anyway—if you don’t, I will be annoying about it, per my pinned post.) We all come into this kink one way or another… and until you want the world to know your dirty, shameful, delightful little secret, I’ll keep it quiet for you. But eventually you will want the world to know. Otherwise, how would you find a man to finally take that dive with? 💖

“you shouldn’t consume so much silly media! it will influence your work!” i actively try to engage with as many stories as i can in order to improve my own. there is nothing more fun than finding inspiration in other people’s work. if i could eat books i would

VULCANS ARE NOT UNEMOTIONAL

Vulcans are hella emotional and learn to suppress it/control it. They aren’t logical by nature, but logical by training. They have hella deep intense emotions and they discovered that the best way to approach them is to scuttle sideways across them like a crab on hot sand while shouting LOGIC which explains why a lot of vulcans make stupid ass decisions

The whole reason Vulcan exists as it does today is because Surak looked around at the old vulcans and said damn ya’ll need Buddha, but we haven’t discovered earth yet, so here, have some suppression instead

every day i am filled with indescribable dread at the xmen entering the mcu. antifascism and antimilitarism are so fundamental to the premise of the xmen that even the fox movies revolve around this shit

AUAUAHSHSHSHSGWGAA WHY CANT I JUST SIT IN MY ROOM AND THINK ABT SILLY TURTLES ALL DAYYYYYY AHHHHHHH

I think the inherent problem with people who dislike Maddie because she “cries too much” is that they automatically relate crying to weakness. Despite everything they have seen on their screens and everything that has been implied, they truly believe that Maddie crying means she is some sort of fragile woman.

But Maddie is the opposite, she is strong willed, determined and powerful in the most amazing ways. She survived a sixteen year abusive relationship but before that, she survived the loss of her brother that she was never allowed to grieve and whilst her parents were wrapped up in their own loss, she raised her baby brother to be as kind, compassionate and as loving and open minded and open hearted as she is. She’s an empath, she wears her heart on her sleeve when it comes to everyone other than herself. She cries for other people but it doesn’t make her weak.

Maddie has hidden her trauma and her sadness for most of her life. She wasn’t allowed to cry for Daniel and the truth of her relationship with Doug would have remained behind closed doors for the most part. And she fought so damn hard to be where she is right now. When she cries at work it’s for someone else and she always moves onto the next call, she doesn’t sit there crying into the abyss, she helps someone else (as seen in the tsunami episode). She cries for her brother because she’s afraid of him being alone, she cries for Chimney and the man at the garage when she believes two men have died at the hands of her husband. She cries when she’s scared because why the hell shouldn’t she? But at the same time as she’s crying she’s checking to make sure Josh is okay in taking of dispatch.

Maddie Buckley is a woman who has been through hell and back more than once, who only ever wants to help people despite her own pain and who feels things deeply but never lets it impact another person because she is so inherently strong and good and kind. Her crying isn’t a sign of weakness but of her strength after years of suppressing her emotions and I will not hear another person talk about how “weak” she is. Women and men have every right to cry as much as they damn well please and not have their entire character and strength called into question because of it.

it’s also, of course, deeply philosophically inconsistent for “just concerned”-type transphobes to treat cis bodies and the experience of cis puberty as the “default,” which seems to come up a lot in the general miasma of FUD they try to cast up. it’s pointed out that long-term hormone use and surgeries can cause irreversible changes to the body; this is used as a basis to plead for delaying action, until the trans teenager or even adult is older.

but, of course, choosing inaction is itself a choice; and in the case of some schedules dictated by genetics, it’s an explicit choice for the default. though “just concerned” transphobes leave open the possibility, rhetorically, that these young trans people may want to indeed still transition as adults, they seem surprisingly blithe about the fact that having to go through full cis puberty might make that process psychologically or medically even more difficult; naturally, they are really assuming that their child is not really trans, and this is a phase that will pass.

not only is this a rehash of old homophobic talking points (you’d love heterosexuality if you just gave it a try!), they’re betting a lot on being right. I didn’t have the language as a teenager to articulate my Gender Feelings, which engenders enough regret in itself, but if I had, and if I had discussed them with my parents only to be shot down and forced to go through cis puberty, when I knew there was another alternative, I can’t imagine how angry I would have been with them.

in that this form of transphobia centers so much on vivid descriptions of the perceived medical violation of their children’s bodies (especially their reproductive capacity! I thought we didn’t want to reduce people to their ability to bear children?) also puts me in mind of anti-vaxxers, whose anxieties about needles and chemicals invading the pure, precious bodies of their children that must be defended, a fear of contamination and impurity, cannot be overcome even when the potential risks are small, and the likely benefits enormous. Cass Eris also draws an interesting analogy to her mother hitting the roof when she found out her (adult, in university) daughter was on birth control; even well past the legal age in which we judge young people competent to make decisions about their own medical care, parental anxieties demand that their children’s bodies be under their control, and subject to their approval.
