I wish we got to have them interact more, because my whole heart. 🥺 (I wanted to take him with us on our adventure.)

Me watching the Ninjago fandom swear out Harumi and hating her while loving and forgiving Morro for basically the same thing

SPOILERS

She was literally right there when Lloyd talked about her lmfaoo

Harumi part 1

I think the reason Harumi ticks me off so much is because she’s a character whose motivations feel skewed. Don’t get me wrong, as a character and as a villain I think she’s fantastic and she definitely ranks high on my list of favorite Ninjago villains, but one of the most interesting things about her (and one of the things I hate most) is that her motivations change all the time. She wants to hurt Lloyd, she wants him to join her side. She wants to save Ninjago, she wants to see it destroyed, she serves Garmadon as her father but runs from him when she sees he’s going to lose, she saves a family that she herself put in danger but then almost immediately goes back to being evil.

So my thought is this - despite being arguably one of the best villains on the show and a master manipulator, we don’t know exactly what she wants. I’m not sure Harumi even knows what she wants. Which is fair, if we understand that she’s a heavily-traumatized 16-20 year old. She’s a brilliant case study in how unhealthy coping mechanisms can develop into unhealthy lines of thinking and desires - essentially, what might’ve happened to Lloyd had he not found a loving support system he could trust.

There’s only a few times we’ve seen Harumi truly vulnerable, usually when she’s alone or away from people she’s putting on a manipulative front for (i.e. Lloyd and the ninja). These times are a) sitting alone on the Bounty looking at pictures of her parents, biological and adopted, b) when she’s asking Garmadon to make her his daughter, and c) when she saves that family at the end of Hunted. Each of these times we get the sense that what Harumi is really looking for is a sense of family and love, which somehow got convoluted with an obsession with Garmadon. Funnily enough, needing to be loved (and not abandoned) is also Lloyd’s driving inner motivation for pretty much everything he does. In s8 we get this back and forth of Harumi trying to destroy Lloyd from the inside out, and then Misako telling Lloyd to not let the good parts of himself go, and then Lloyd himself telling Harumi, “I won’t let it [the death of his family] do to me what it did to you.” On the inside, I think Harumi and Lloyd look very much the same, but they diverge when it comes to action - Lloyd chooses light and compassion, while Harumi chooses manipulation and rage.

Inside, Harumi is a mess of hatred and anger and an intense desire to be loved again - that emptiness she refers to when she puts the Mask of Hatred on. And it’s driven her to a point of near-madness, where at this point all that seems to matter to her is revenge. All of this anger and hatred really is directionless, so she directs it at the ninja, specifically Lloyd. But nevertheless, I cannot wait for the rest of Crystalized to explain to us what headspace Harumi is in these days - but I fully expect it to be far more unhinged than it was back in the Oni arc, as she falls farther and farther and subconsciously (or consciously) realizes what’s happened to her.

What I really want from Harumi before she inevitably kicks the bucket or redeems herself is a realization of what Lloyd told her back in s8: even if she convinced herself she was starting out with the intent to protect Ninjago, she’s actually driven by the chaos of her inner hatred and emptiness and has become the one who destroys families instead of saving them - we all THOUGHT she learned this lesson in Hunted but apparently not.

DAMN CRAIG

"cole brookstone isnt aro" NOT SO FAST

explain THIS.. thats what i thought.

The way funnier thing about the baffy reel on looney tunes’ Instagram is the fucking comments from looney tunes replying to people

seriously though take this personality quiz and tell me what you get. it’s important. 

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

did cascada ever actually play on the radio or anything or did we all just learn about it through shipping amvs on youtube

“male character gets a girlfriend whos just him but a girl” is one of the worst tropes except for grundgetta from sesame street who rules

Bruce Wayne: [enters the cave] Jason?

Jason Todd: [giggles while hiding on the ceiling]

Bruce Wayne: Jason, I know you’re here.

Jason Todd: [loud, barely muffled giggling]

Bruce Wayne: Come out, you know I can sense you.

Jason Todd: [drops on Bruce from the ceiling and clings to him]

Jason Todd: I got you!!

Bruce Wayne: You got me.

Jason Todd: [covers Bruce’s eyes with his palms]

Jason Todd: And now you’re blind!!

Bruce Wayne: [picks Jason up]

Bruce Wayne: Tiny hands, my only weakness.

Okay so I was on a latex shop and

The belts are a different color but still

“Harry Potter saved kids lit”

excuse you, do not pay such disrespect to our chosen leader, Firestar

Warrior Cats saved kids lit by being full of like ongoing murder and intrigue and weird cat love triangles. Do you know how many of these books I bought when I was 11? We have an entire shelf of these bad boys.

and where else would we get these lines??

TW: animal death / animal neglect

I wanted to draw this comic for a long time, but I never knew how to approach this issue. In my childhood all my friends had budgies, all of them were put aside somewhere and left alone. Treated like “annoying” decoration. Don’t get a bird if you can’t meet its needs.

okay yall remember that part in arkham knight where bruce sees talia’s sword and murmurs “talia” and you can just. leave him there staring at that goddamn sword for ages and when he finally pulls back he just says “im sorry” that part is the reason why i’m a half dead husk of a human being

This “priceless” commission was done by @huyandere.

I asked for Damian and Talia in their way to the grocery store while wearing matching outfits.

And yes, this is what they wear while grocery shopping (they’re al Ghuls after all, they have to be extra at all time)
