TURNING INTO RATS WON’T HELP YOU WHEN I HAVE THE GUTTER FEAST CHARM, PAOLO
You’re never too old to collect figures.
You’re never too old to be in a fandom.
You’re never too old to play video games.
You’re never too old to listen to music.
You’re never too old to enjoy things.

Beautifuly written- and drawn.
Willow is not a bad mother. Yeah, saving Whitley shouldn’t be Weiss’s responsibility. But if you think Willow doesn’t love her kids or isn’t trying her best—then congratulations, you’ve never dealt with this kind of abuse.
You’re lucky.
This is exactly what it’s like.
Willow protected her kids every way she knows how while also being beaten down mentally, emotionally, and possibly physically. Meanwhile, the kids she’s protecting resent her for not doing more—”at least I’m trying to do something about it”—and Willow resents herself too, which is why she responds to that line by chugging vodka straight from the bottle
So yeah, again, saving Whitley shouldn’t be Weiss or Winter’s responsibility—but that is JACQUES’ fault, not Willow’s. Jacques shot her in the leg, okay? She can’t carry her kid off the battlefield no matter how much she wants to. And that is not her fault.
There are a lot of REAL Willows out there in the world who have no fucking clue how to get their kids out of the hole their partner has dug under them, let alone themselves, and that is always, 100%, the abuser’s fault.
I’m just… salty about the Willow hate. This is the most accurate depiction of abuse I’ve personally seen in fiction. I just need y’all to understand Willow is 100% a victim too, okay? She’s my mom. She’s trying her best.
Sincerely, Winter

the untamed, episode 22
i'm losing my shit at this the delivery is absolutely flawless
Still one of my favorite posts on tumblr honestly
honestly tho that scene in the incredibles where mr. incredible sees the names of all the old super heroes that used to be his friends / that he knew from Back in the Day and how every one of them has been killed by syndrome is such a chilling scene for so many reasons
like for one, everyone he knew is dead at this point and has been killed on the same island he’s at now and two, its heartbreaking bc that means that almost every hero wanted to try out being a hero again despite the laws against it and wanted to try and help someone out and relive their glory days, only to be straight up murdered like fuck that scene is just so fuckin intense
being called "cringe" by another tumblr user is just so..............my sibling in christ u are also on the app
I have no clue what I'm doing | 20
