projecting all ur issues™ onto fictional characters is a time honored tradition. if kafka can give a cockroach his depression and deepseated fears of uselessness i can give a comic book character my personality disorder and sexual traumas. god’s dead and soon we will be too so in 2018 write all the weirdly specific Coping Fic you want and don’t let people get on your case about it
half the tags on this are apologizing to fictional characters for fucking them up more and the other half are complaining about kafka and yknow what all of yall are valid
I need Han to accidentally be force strong, mostly because HE WOULD HATE THAT SO MUCH
“Wow so you’re basically a self-taught Jedi”
“WHAT–ARE YOU–I’M THE BEST PILOT IN–”
“That’s force shit”
“I’M AN EXCELLENT SHOT”
“Yeah, because of the force”
“I’M INCREDIBLY PERSUASIVE”
“That’s the force making people believe your terrible lies against all reason ”
“I’LL SEE YOU IN HELL”
I can picture his reaction now…
No, but this is:
Oh heck
George Lucas can pry Force Sensitive Han from my cold dead hands.
I love everything about this theory, but my favourite part of it by far is now utterly offended he’d be by the suggestion.
Garrus: Shepard’s dead so i’m going to disappear and go on a righteous rampage as a masked vigilante
Wrex: why
Garrus: they were 90% of my impulse control
k why is this gif the funniest shit i’ve ever seen it makes me feel like i’m entering another plane of reality
ok guys I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this gif since I saw it and I just need to unpack its various elements for a second:
1. the central tension of this scene, obviously, which is thor realizing jeff goldblum dicked down his kid brother
2. the fact that jeff goldblum either apparently never learned how to wink OR is trying and failing to bat his eyelashes
3. the way loki opens his mouth as if to try to explain himself to thor and then looks back at jeff goldblum and decides, nah, we’re good, there’s no coming back from this one
4. the fact that whoever made this gif decided this scene wasn’t hysterical enough on its own and added dramatic telenovela zooms
5. the combined effect of all of these elements being that not only can I not stop thinking about this gif but also I hear the kill bill siren whenever I look at it
Is it impossible for a Dragon a Ball character to be an atheist, given that they all know for a fact that God exists and his name is Dende and he’s green? Or is it impossible for a Dragon Ball character to be anything OTHER than an atheist, because they know these things about God, and also know that most of them could beat him up, and that he has social anxiety and is pretending to be busy so he doesn’t have to talk to Goku?
Like: imagine that you know for a fact that sometimes God can’t hear your prayers, because he’s in his room, stressing out over something he said last month that he thinks might have hurt “Mr. Satan”’s feelings. Does the possession of this harrowing knowledge make you an atheist?
Are Dragon Ball characters atheists if they don’t “believe in” Dende in the sense that they don’t respect him as a person? Like, Dende decides to do something hard, and Gohan says “you can do it, I believe in you!” and Vegeta says “ehhh.” Does this attitude make Vegeta an atheist? Does Dende’s social anxiety make Dende an atheist
