Can Someone Please Tell Me When I'm Going To Start Liking Emmet Again? I Can't Imagine It, But I Know

“The level of sadism unleashed against Palestinians is truly unfathomable. It is redefining what genocide looks like, and yet, no one reacts.”

Francesca Albanese

It is very telling that they decided to end the show with "I am the dirt under your nails".

vi got colonised tbh. it gives me that feeling when a rich white old man gets with a young SEA lady, brings her to britain and she only gets to see her family through facetime, and that's also the only time she speaks her native language because her man refuses to learn it

cait basically erased vi's identity as a zaunite. she loved vi in spite of that, instead of as a part of her. like how she told vi that she's not like the other zaunites, and saying 'i thought you were one of us' fully expecting her to step away from her people.

vi's been assimilated into piltover, even going against her own ideals by becoming part of the people (enforcers) who killed her parents, who were responsible for executing the systematic oppression of zaun. yet caitlyn's never assimilated into zaun, never even stepping foot into zaun beyond the first caitvi meeting and later when she was gassing the citizens. the show ended with vi living with caitlyn in the top 1% of piltover; no mutual exchange of culture. caitlyn never had to change her mind about zaun the way vi changed her mind about piltover, and remained oblivious to her own privilege and her family's legacy on zaun.

it's just that the sacrifices vi has made for cait, on her identity and on a moral level, has been completely one-sided. this, the imbalanced power dynamic and caitlyn's subtle prejudice against zaun (*) have never been acknowledged in the show. so for them to get back together and have their happy ending without some sort of introspective reflection feels. very uncomfortable. feels like cognitive dissonance.

(*) i say subtle because other than the warcrimes moment, cait often voices her opposition to extreme measures against zaun. however, she supports 'no extreme measures' and 'they are people too' as normative ideas, not really having the ability to recognise the violation of these ideas when it's in front of her and especially not when she's the one violating them. there's constantly an undercurrent of subconscious prejudice in her attitude towards zaunites, and just, a real lack of understanding

The baby girl without a chance A victim of the circumstance The one who ought to give up But she's just too hard-headed A single mom who works two jobs Who loves her kids and never stops With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter I'm a survivor

students (mainly slytherins) who come from dysfunctional families and see severus as a father figure so they send him letters/drawings on father's day and he can barely hold back his tears in the staff room

Arcane fandom right now:

WHat dO yOu mEAn SHe is deAD NO SHE ISN't TaKE THAT BACK

"Maybe in another life" "Why not this one"

SESBIAN LEX LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

He got his partner back but at what cost

I WAAAANA FEEL IT... I BET ON LOOSING DOGSSSSSSS

"I finished Arcane or did Arcane finish me" "I don't know about you but Cait did finish and that is all that matters"

One cool thing about being asexual is that your self worth is completely independent of how attractive you are. I don't have to give a single shit about whether there's anyone on God's green earth who wants to fuck me because there's not a single person I want to fuck. I'm free. I'm also hot as fuck but it's completely irrelevant. It only matters to the extent that it lets me get away with not caring about how I look

I’m so Lesmand pilled how do we get more people Lesmand pilled? Do I have to literally go door to door with highlighted passages from TVL and ask if they’ve accepted Lesmand into their heart as their lord and savior??? Because I’ll do it.

my lovely omega, han maru <3

I read so many things about the gay context and undertones in The Picture of Dorian Gray... Why were you all lying to me? It is just text plain and simple. I thought Basil was pretty upfront with his feelings for Dorian from the beginning and now I just read pages of him confessing his undying love and devotion to Dorian himself. How is that context, undertones or whatever words people are using to describe this clearly homosexual novel?

The song playing during Ekko and Powder's scene “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” by Stromae, Pomme perfectly portraying Timebomb feels like the final nail in the cofin.

You’re the best thing that ever happened to me, but also the worst thing that ever happened to me. The day I met you, I would’ve preferred that it never happened. The worst of blessings. The most beautiful jinx. ... You know what they say keep your closest friends near, but keep your enemies even closer. But my dearest enemy is you.

This episode is so beautiful that I don't know what to cry about - the beauty and perfection or for the horrors of it all.
