Like, okay the dehumanization and misogyny of it all. Mauer treating this woman like a toy and attempting to gaslight her. The unspoken threat of sexual violence and what he could have done to her. Gemma clearly hating this man and him still toying with her because he can. It’s a violation, it’s abhorrent. The way that it’s not even clear that the company knows or not. That this technology would attract freaks who would abuse women and that it’s a plot point that in the news an innie did get pregnant. Literally kidnapped and treating her like a Testing animal. It’s so fucked up. It’s so fucking fucked up.
The way that this technology is being actually developed by real technofascist cretins who would do this.
We don’t talk enough about how fanfiction writers love to give character large amounts of non-specific paperwork they hate doing
I tried explaining to my grandma what private health insurance is and how it fucks everyone over and she thought I was joking...She still doesn't believe me.
Honestly my favorite part of this UHC shooter debacle is seeing people from Europe who have universal basic healthcare being really really fucking confused about everything and having to explain what private health insurance is and then seeing them become mortified.
''You don't have to suffer anymore...''
I don't want him to die because I hate him but because he is one of my favorite characters on the show.
I understand what op means and have nothing against people who agree but I want to present a different point of view.
I want him to be the character with most screen time this season (maybe with the exception of El) and I want as many story arcs for him. Revealing what happened in the upside down all these years ago and how he survived, more of him spying on Vecna, him in trances fighting or running from One in his mind, being the best with guns after Nancy and Hopper and owning it, some more trauma we didn't know about, Birthday gate, him with powers? I want everything they can give us.
I want the writers to flush him out, show us how much he has been through and how he is still fighting even after everything. I want him full of hope, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for a first time in a long time, finding strength to dream and have hopes for tomorrow again, finding himself, feeling like himself amongst the people he loves, happy, content and holpfull.
Then I want him to die. I don't want him to die in just any way. I want him to sacrifice himself to save everyone (bonus points if it was the only way to end it all) but not because he doesn't have anything to live for or because he is depressed and alone. I want him to sacrifice himself because he has hope. Hope that everyone else will survive, finish it and live good, fulfilling lives even if he isn't there anymore.
I want to see his end as the very opposite of how he was in the beginning of the series. Whereas when he was taken he was afraid, helpless and desperate to survive by the end of S5 he should be confident, hopeful and in peace with his demise.
In the beginning, he was taken against his will, and he had to run and hide to survive. In the end, he stops running and hiding, not from monsters but from himself and who he really is. (Maybe he had known for a long time that he had to die to stop the Upside down and Henry but was too afraid but now he is ready.)
I don't really want him to die but there is something poetic about the series starting and ending with him. If they really do a good job with his character and arc and then kill him I will be at peace (emotionally broken but still) but if he lives but they don't do much with his character I will be disappointed.
There are many things a character can be worse than death and one of them is irrelevant.
He thought he was a mistake… his own dad called him slurs… he survived in the upside down by himself… kids bullied him at school… he was in love with his best friend… castle byers was his only safe place… he still didn’t know his life could turn even worse… and yet there’s people that want him to die in s5
Probably a reach but there’s this whole ‘Wow look how in sync we are let’s be BFF! She’s so pretty & perfect…whoa I think I’m falling for her’ vibes from Simone and Daphne. I need it to become canon.
Could someone please recommend some good tragic Rhaenicent fics? I’m open to any length, and they don’t even need to be endgame—I just want something tragic, painful, and gut-wrenching. I’d even accept fics that aren’t explicitly romantic, as long as they love each other more than they should and their relationship is colored by their envy, hate, and everything in between.
For example, an AU where Rhaenyra survives, but all her children are dead, so she visits Alicent in her tower—not just to torment her, savoring her slow descent into madness, but also because she craves her company. She still loves this woman in front of her, even as she hates her for everything she is and has done.
Do you get what I mean? I want it to hurt, I want it to bleed, and I want madness—whether it’s mine or theirs, it doesn’t matter.
my lovely omega, han maru <3
Why is Tamsand just Lesmand but written by SJM
rereading the scene of Rhys tormenting Tamlin in ACOFAS is just like…wow…i wish y’all would BANG IT OUT ALREADY ‼️‼️‼️
“I have EVERYTHING and I’m so HAPPY and so ABOVE YOU but I’m gonna come torment you anyway, just because I feel like it and NOT because I’ve secretly been attracted to you for the past four centuries…🙄”
yeah…i bet they’re not the only thing aching to be near his throat 😏
noticing his muscle mass is crazyyyy like this shit is GAY YOUR HONOR!!! 👩⚖️
your…mate…who…is…everything…you’ve…WISHED…and…DREAMED…of…and…BEGGED…for…isn’t…ENOUGH??? (he literally just thought that 20 lines earlier btw😭)
ohhh don’t we ALL want feral Tamlin oh brother, back of the line, buddy!!! 😑🫵
I just know Rhys was punchin the fuck out of the air on the way home he wanted to wrestle with that man badddddd
feeling a “hollowness” in the stomach over seeing someone in despair is just the other end of the spectrum for “something glowed in his chest” I’M SORRY I DONT MAKE THE RULES!!!
Can someone please tell me when I'm going to start liking Emmet again? I can't imagine it, but I know he and Bay will probably get together again soon.
How do you even begin to forget and forgive everything he's done? I really liked him at first, but he just went downhill from there.
He kissed Daphne and never told Bay.
He treated Bay horribly when he was mad about her meddling. I get that he was upset, but seeing it from her perspective made it so frustrating. Cut her some slack! I was already annoyed at him and than BAM!
He cheated on her and then acted like everything was fine.
He played the biggest victim, and the other characters encouraged it—"Poor sweet Emmet, he's so sorry."
He suffered no real consequences. The contrast between how people treated him vs. how they treated Simone was wild. He was back to being friends with both siblings within weeks like nothing happened, while she was ostracized. Pure misogyny.
He acted insanely jealous of Bay’s only friend at school as if she didn’t already have enough problems.
And now he’s acting all sad because he doesn’t want them to be just friends?
I wanted to grab him and throw him into a river. The audacity, the nerve. If he can't even be her friend after everything HE did to her, at a time when she's already overwhelmed and just wants a friend, then he doesn't deserve to be in her life at all.
Switched at birth is filled with sapphics for the ones with eyes to see.
If I had a nickel for every show I’ve seen where the best character is named Regina who’s straight according to the canon but has a surprisingly sapphic feeling relationship with her coparent, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that its happened twice.
