sometimes dnd archetypes annoy me because like. at the core of a paladin oath it's being so dedicated to something it gives you superpowers
they're not christian camp counselors or cops they're fucking autistic

I know this is a meme but Paladins are genuinely one of the most flavour-rich classes in the game.
An oath is a fascinating cornerstone of characterisation simply because a person, for whatever reason, has been driven to condense their permanent identity into a few words. It's this immovable pillar of their character magically anchored to the core of their being, and what's more? It's by choice.
You don't fall into a Paladin oath the way you might with a Warlock pact & nowhere does it say an oath's power has to be granted by another entity.
Every character has a core, but Paladins chose theirs. Taking an oath is looking at one thing, anything and going this. this is worth it. I will take this into myself and swear never to stray from it and it will inform everything I have been and everything I am now and everything I will become in the future.
Imagine loyalty so extreme it produces its own divinity and tell me that isn't worthy of a story.

lots of times if I tell my boyfriend that I am proud of him for dealing with a situation, or that I'm sorry he's having to deal with a situation, he will say "no it's my own fault." meaning that he feels like he doesn't deserve praise or comfort for dealing with a situation that is his fault. (for example a financial problem caused or exacerbated by him having been too anxious or absentminded to deal with the situation sooner.) and I tell him this and I will tell y'all this, that I don't believe that. I think you are even braver and stronger for taking steps to deal with a mess that is of or partly of your own creation, because you have to cope with guilt and shame on top of the thing itself, and because you're fighting against the same ingrained dysfunction in yourself that caused the mess. that's like the bravest and most constructive thing you can do and you should be proud and I am proud of you.
also, mistakes don't mean you deserve to suffer
Unfortunately I think Joel ends up radiating such insane Dad energy that like if a child gets separated from their parent anywhere in Jackson they're immediately on his leg and it's a small town so he usually knows whose kid it is too and he's like, "Timmy where the hell are your parents," and then Timmy shrugs and Joel like huffs and picks him up to settle on his hip and is like "which way did you come from. Your house is over there," and he would point, "but the dining hall is that way, were you getting some food with your parents," and the kid like shrugs and kicks his feet and then joel is just walking around talking to neighbors with Timmy on his hip until he sees his parents
interestingly Tommy radiates such insane Cool Uncle energy that he cannot leave his house after dark without finding 2 or more teens out doing shennanigans no matter how hard he tries and he definitely never boosted a 15 year old drunk Dina up to her second floor bedroom window because she begged him not to tell her mom and he said fine but you still have to go home
also feel free to add 1) whether you share a bed and 2) if you’d prefer a different size, if so, which and why
@jemomgershippingco and i have a Queen size, which means there’s about 5 inches for each of us, and plenty of room for the dog
if i were showrunner i would have simply licensed ABBA
I’ve never seen a single episode of supernatural. Is this the ship everyone has been waiting to become canon? Because I get why
I THOUGHT THEY GOT SOMEONE TO PRETEND (and exaggerate a bit) THEIR VOICES FOR COMEDIC EFFECT/TO MAKE IT EASIER TO EDIT
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY ACTUALLY SOUND LIKE THAT
Misha thought Cas was only gonna be there for a few episodes, so put on this Powerful Angel Of God voice. Unfortunately for him, pale liked Cas and this poor man fucked up his voice by doing this for 11 seasons
Also I wanna point out that look Cas has at the end of this clip is 100% a look of realizing he’s in love
A gif for Mermay!
This gif actually, literally made me laugh out loud and send it to every group chat I’m in just to get yelled at. Thank you.
I checked the notes looking for these exact frames and was not disappointed.
howdy!
edit: of course they said howdy back!
its payment for every weeb who goes to japan and thinks anime is real
I got fined for forgetting to scan my ticket while riding a train in france, and after the officer left, the guy sitting across from me got very serious and said "shit... happens" then looked so proud of himself when I smiled at that.
im proud of him too
