Lord of Blood

all I could hear was growling, so I stood up to take a look

@theslowesthnery

I saw a post about deradicalization via learning to care about things other than yourself but about halfway down there was a comment like

"It is hard to want to care about other people when the treat you like you're ontologically evil."

And everyone ripped this person to shreds. It's your responsibility to fix your own behavior, you can't say "boo hoo no one was ever nice to me" and use it as a justification. Which is true! Everyone is ultimately responsible for their own behavior and choices.

But that single commenter was nevertheless absolutely correct.

If people have a responsibility not to become abhorrent because of the way they are treated, people also have a responsibility not to treat other people so badly that they think that's the only reasonable response. It isn't but that's not the point. The point is that you, person with all the correct opinions, are also responsible for your own behavior.

You cannot hate yourself into becoming a better person, and you certainly cannot hate other people into supporting you

i think 'I trust you with my life but not your own' as a trope is one of the ones that can always fuck me up no matter what

"I trust you with my life because you are good and kind and noble--I know you will not hesitate to do everything in your power to save me.

I do not trust you with your own life because you are good and kind and noble--I know you would not hesitate to sacrifice yourself to save me."

THAT is where it's at!!!!!

sad headcanon q’s… 

hey don’t cry. spiro the bald eagle failing at catching a crab, okay?

things to say to immortals … sentence starters

Ansbach giving a right and proper introduction of Mohg to the Tarnished and Thiollier and vica versa.

Mohg’s just sort of sitting in a loaf like a cat when Ansbach invites the two over to pet him. "He won't bite."

So they come over.

Mohg immediately nips.

I go on quite a bit about Miquella’s flaws, because quite frankly I find them to be the most compelling parts of his character. His story is that of tragedy, one where he has tried so much to fix his mother’s wrongs he ended up being just like her. His Age of Compassion is built on the bodies of those who needed it the most. His bewitchment of those such as Leda merely hides their very obvious problems under the rug rather than properly addressing them— Leda’s paranoia, Hornsent’s grief, they come back in full agonizing force once his charm breaks, and it ends in bloodshed. What if this happened on a vast scale? I can understand the appeal of it, as I am someone with a lot of complex mental health issues that I battle with daily. It would be nice to have Miquella turn all of that off with a flick of the wrist, but that isn’t actually fixing things. The moment the charm breaks, you are back where you started and arguably worse. His solution isn’t one at all.

Miquella is a hypocrite whose idea of fixing the Golden Order is “but what if I made the gold pure and kept everything else”. And I love that about his character.

go white boy goooo

white boy i've never seen anyone fuck it up like that
