what she says: anders deserved better
what she means: anders had to take a hard decision and, while everyone can see it differently depending on personal ethics, his development and moral dilemmas from that point were disregarded because, in the narrative thats being pushed onto us, the ‘angry fighter for freedom’ character has no place. Its not surprising that in the default world state, the mage hawke has not only killed anders but he also violently despises him; and several times we are reminded of how he ‘single-handedly’ started the war. Never mind the inherent abuse in the circles or the straight slave work that its presented in the kirkwall circle; good mages would have never rebelled, good mages seek help from the merciful chantry, good mages stay quiet until… until a /bad mage/ seeks answers through violence. Anders’ life is nothing but the tale of the nice opressed, who smiles and gently corrects; and the mean opressed, who speaks up and ACTS. Once he becomes the Mean Opressed, his narrative ends. Theres nothing else to his character, he is Done, he will not evolve past that. In Dragon Age 2, most characters become, at some point, a monster: fenris and his markings, merrill and blood magic, isabela and her stolen book. Anders’ monster is not being an abomination: is daring to fight with the same violence that was shown to him, to his people. We aren’t shown any more of his development because right after his stand, we can kill him. We can abandon him. We can kill him, again. We end the game. His storyline has no closure; its made so we can comfortably hate him and never get to see his real drives and ethics. And thats why he deserved more.

I’ve decided that Vlad being sulky under a blanket is my aesthetic, tbh

It’s mine too tbh. That and “I should really do this thing, it would make my life so much better if I do this thing, but the thought of doing this thing is literally so overwhelming I’m going to go have a nap instead, lmao peace out fam, see you in a few decades when this has hopefully gone away”.

Also:

“You can’t sleep through the French revolution Vlad.”
“Fucking watch me.”

“What do you mean Second World War…how long was I asleep?! …WHAT DO YOU MEAN LESS THAT FORTY YEARS?!?!”

“…haha, silly me, I appear to have picked up one of my scrapbooks from the 1800s instead of the newspaper. For a moment there I thought it said measles and small pox was coming back…how strange, the date at the top says 2017…” *stares directly into the camera like he’s on the office* “but it’s not as though humans could be stupid enough to stop vaccinating their children in the year of our lord 2017. Are. They?”

<h2>Vlad keeps scrapbooks: <I>confirmed

Vlad is a total scrapbooking science loving nerd who constantly loses his glasses, cries when his faves die in books and is easily overwhelmed by everything, but is also ultimately willing to throwdown when necessary and honestly my first thought whenever I write him is Protect Him.

Preferably from me because I am an awful, awful creator and Vlad just…he just suffers so well .

youngqueerwitch:

I think, I think one of the worst things about realizing you’ve been abused is the actual realization. Slowly learning what’s normal and what isn’t. Having it smack you in the face that “oh god that wasn’t normal that’s not normal all” and it’s just this horrifying realization

And it gets worse. You remember more trauma. You remember more of the hell they put you through. You wonder how they still think they did nothing wrong?

You doubt. You refuse to doubt. You panic. You become this mess of “is this real” and “I know this is real” and “I don’t want this to be real”

Please tell me this means we are going to get a Deadpool style marketing campaign for this.

Me too.

i thought this was a joke because it obviously looks photoshopped but it’s real y’all

here’s a trailer

“YOU SINGLE-HANDEDLY RUINED THE WORD MOTHER FUCKER” – holy shit I can’t breathe i will see the movie for this line alone

this looks like the best kind of nonsense

So, what I got from that Obito headcanon post is… ObiKisaKaka? Which I can not only get behind, but totally see. Kakashi and Kisame eternally exasperated as they try to keep Obito’s FIGHT ME tendencies in check, Kakashi having to constantly talk Kisame out of (obviously) fighting the entire Uchiha clan for being shitty to Obito, Obito & Kisame endlessly fighting Kakashi’s self-loathing, & when that doesnt work Kisame tosses him over his shoulder & drags him to the bar/bed.

NO DON’T YOU DARE DO THIS TO ME I REFUSE.

D:

HCs for Hikaku? (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

blackkatmagic:

– Born an Old Soul.

– And then compounded, because being Izuna’s main guard has aged him before his time.

– No, really, Hikaku wants to know who he killed in a past life to deserve this. It must have been a saint. He is In Hell.

– Carries a spear. Frequently uses it to hit idiots over the head.

– This is not as satisfying as stabbing them would be, but at this point if he started stabbing people he just. Wouldn’t stop.

– The eldest of three, with two younger sisters. Very good at braiding hair and playing dress-up.

– Izuna made a comment on this once and was promptly made to babysit. Never commented again.

– Has a lowkey crush on Touka (though really, who wouldn’t).

– Pretends to be above making an idiot out of himself in front of strong pretty people.

– Is not.

– Is really not.

– Looks like the Sensible One and mostly is, but has a competitive streak.

– Has a competitive streak to the point where he would totally kiss Hashirama for a dare.

– Would probably even kiss Izuna for a dare, though he’d want to wash his mouth out afterwards. What if the stupidity is catching?

– Wears the good luck charms his sisters give him no matter what.

– Anyone who comments really does get stabbed.

– Yes, even Izuna.

– At this point he has fond fantasies of stabbing Izuna so he’ll be removed from his guard.

– (This won’t happen. Madara’s never found anyone else patient enough to put up with Izuna for more than four hours straight. If Hikaku stabbed Izuna Madara would probably just accept it.)

– Is very Aggrieved over the fact that all the Senju are so powerful and attractive. This includes Mito. He is highkey crushing on Mito and In Despair.

– Strongly Regrets being related to Kagami what did he do to deserve this.

– Too Good For This World, Too Pure but also + lowkey homicidal tendencies (he’s an Uchiha, okay, it’s standard).

– Someone save him, please.

Audrey says “fuck your gender roles”

This movie is super underrated.

Audrey is so underrated. How can you not love her?

I have a love-hate relationship with this movie.
On one hand it’s got awesome PoC characters who defy racial and gender stereotypes. It also discusses colonialism and how people tend to destroy indigenous cultures to obtain land and resources (which is why the crew ultimately decided a to pretend they never found Atlantis because they don’t want anyone else to try and destroy the culture).
But on the other hand, the whole plot is that Atlantis needs a white, cishet man to save it from extinction and for some reason he understand their culture and language better than they do.

hEY FUCK YOU OKAY
MILO WAS THE ANTITHESIS OF WHITE SAVIOR
HE WAS A NERDY USELESS LITTLE SHIT WHO WAS COWARDLY UNTIL OTHERS FORCED HIM TO ACT
HIS ONLY STRENGTHS WERE HIS MIND AND HIS ETHICS
HE WAS THE PERFECT DUDE FOR THE JOB AND THE REASON HE KNEW BETTER WAS BECAUSE HE RIGOROUSLY STUDIED TEXTS THAT HAD BEEN LOST OR DESTROYED IN ATLANTIS BECAUSE KIDA’S FATHER INTENTIONALLY LET HIS KINGDOM LAPSE INTO DECAY AND OBSCURITY

DO NOT PULL THAT WHITE SAVIOUR BULLSHIT BECAUSE MILO WAS A DAMN GOOD DUDE

I’ve been trying to tell people this for years. Also, what differentiates Milo’s experience from the white savior complex is his expectation and his attitude. When looking for Atlantis, the last thing Milo expects to find are people. He says the most they thought that they would find are carvings and pottery. And he would have been happy with just that.

And even when he finds the Atlanteans, he treats the culture and people with the utmost respect (peek the scene where the crew has their audience with the king). He never tries to interfere in the people’s way of life nor change them. He’s merely an observer fascinated with the culture/people and just wants to know more about them.

In most movies, the white savior comes into the situation with an attitude of superiority and only through his interactions with the native people (and a lot of times a beautiful native woman) is he humbled and then eventually brought in as an honorary member of the people. Milo never asks for thanks or wants to make a name for himself. He does what he does because he loves it and it’s a way to keep his grandfather’s legacy alive.

Yeah. Milo was a damn good dude.

And another thing about Milo that’s made evidenced by this scene in particular? He’s got respect for women.
He doesn’t ask why it’s a GIRL mechanic on the expedition, only why it’s a TEENAGER. Doesn’t question Kida’s leadership and knowledge when he meets her. (I can’t think of more examples off the top of my head but I’m sure they’re there).

Milo is a wonderful Disney protagonist, and this movie deserves the underground love it receives.

Um, with everyone is asking for headcanons, could I maybe ask for some hc for Orochimaru and/or Sakumo, please?

blackkatmagic:

– For the record, Jiraiya said Sakumo can you keep an eye on the bastard while I’m on my mission, not Sakumo take him home and marry him.

– Jiraiya would like to make that very clear, okay.

– It probably would have been fine, except Sakumo caught Orochimaru in the garden and he looked So Pretty and then there were assassins and he was So Deadly.

– Sakumo is only human, he cannot be blamed for thinking Orochimaru is is the prettiest thing ever.

– Of course he had to snatch him up immediately, there might have been competition.

– Orochimaru is Confused, but this is no stranger than Jiraiya’s courting rituals, so.

– (Tsunade takes to beating Jiraiya over the head when she hears. This is absolutely His Fault.)

– Sakumo’s biggest obstacle comes from the Namikaze boy and the Uzumaki girl. Thankfully they’re so busy trying to outdo each other than Sakumo can easily trip them up and take the win for himself.

– Orochimaru allows it, mostly because Smug looks good on Sakumo and it’s kind of cute.

– Kakashi finds himself with a genius step-parent who will gladly teach him any jutsu he wants without the safety lectures.

– He approves.

– Sakumo expected to be the cuddler in this relationship. He was proved incorrect the first time he woke up with Orochimaru wrapped around him like a python.

– (Jiriaya side-eyes him when Sakumo tries to wax poetic about how cute Orochimaru is. There are a lot or repeated questions about whether he’s hit his head recently.)

– Tsunade wants No Part In This, all right?

– Sakumo doesn’t bring flowers for their first date, he brings poisons.

– Clearly this is True Love.

– Orochimaru makes him a sword. And, once they’re married, sons.

– Not the traditional way, because that’s Boring.

– Sakumo is baffled but pleased.

– (There is a new hole in the wall of Jiraiya’s apartment the shape of his head. He spends the week after the announcement staking out different corners of Konoha bars, and can be heard muttering if any two people deserve each other oh my gods AND NOW THEY’RE REPRODUCING.)

– Tsunade thinks it’s cute.

– She’s totally the godmother.
