People can handle evil characters(for the most part--usually they twist their behavior and water it down) but people really can't handle good characters that lose their head or lose themselves and have a moment of fallen grace. Fandom has shown this time and time again. They really look at them as worse than the initial evil.

Everyone on tumblr has Conditions. maladies. I log onto tumblr and my mutuals are unwellposting. Conditions I didn't even know existed and sound like dark curses but I will see a post from friend like "died about 60% today, fine now. Made egg on toast #yummytoast". There are so many people in this world with life experiences

#lol this reminds me of when i read people speculating on what kind of parent jc would be and coming to the conclusion #that he would raise super disciplined kids who would be afraid to talk back and wilt easily #is a-ling a joke to you #we KNOW what kind of kids he raises he raises perfect spoiled brats with no respect for their elders and who adore and trust him (via @autumnslantern)

and we literally know exactly why this is: because he yells and stomps and blusters about all day, but has never hurt jin ling or given him reason to doubt how cherished he is. jin ling grew up on the fearsome sandu shengshou's knee and never felt unsafe or unloved for a moment! "how dare you! not even my uncle hits me!" (<- ACTUALLY NOTEWORTHY BEHAVIOUR FOR CHINESE PARENTS, SORRY TO SAY.) WHY would he respect his elders when his elders are jiang cheng. and why would he fear his elders? when his elders are jiang cheng??

The more I read into reports about industrial and transportation accidents the less I feel like “operator error” actually exists

I love scam calls that are easily verifiably false. “Your mortgage is about to default.” Cool 👍 I don’t have one of those

it's so funny to me when they have little boys in tv shows and then the next season they are stretched twice their previous length like taffy. and we just pretend like we don't notice. it's like when there's a birthing scene and then they cradle a giant ten month old fatass baby. to be clear i am not complaining easily one of the top five most delightful breaks of suspension of disbelief

I love you shows with planned & definitive endings, I love you epilogues that prove the happy ending lasts, I love you finales that feature direct parallels to earlier seasons, I love you cast members that left years ago but came back to say goodbye, I love you well crafted & impactful final lines, I love you fitting send offs for the characters I love

I just want to say, if you've ever worked a low-level office job and thought 'wow this is piss-easy', that's not a sign that the work you were doing is objectively easier than other types of work, it's a sign that you were good at it.

by which I don't mean 'stop de-valuing office work' bcos that's not a real problem, no-one is doing that, I just feel like a lot of young people aren't aware that e.g. being able to type fast and accurately, open up a computer program you've never used before and figure it out unaided, are marketable skills, not things that 'everyone' knows how to do.

I've worked in 'easy' office jobs for 6 years now and believe me, some people are bad at them & do not find them easy.
