putting this all under a readmore and not tagging i just wanted to put my thoughts down somewhere .. talking about marius and his fans & tw for mentioning csa / sa

personally. i understand that the marius/armand relationship has been a popular part of the book series for decades and it's fictional and yes i get it. but. i dont understand those fans who encounter people who find it purely horrifying or upsetting and then get mad at them for it. just because of how it's framed in the books as a beautiful gothic love story (filtered through both the author's intention & the skewed perspectives of the two characters involved in it) doesn't mean EVERYONE has to romanticise it and it's only babies or idiots or show only fans who "can't handle gothic fiction".

and then the people who try to convince everyone marius is armand's saviour who only ever treated him with love and kindness really confuse me. like, is it a wholesome relationship built on mutual love? or is it abusive and awful AND loving and caring at the same time? aren't the people who deny marius did anything wrong to armand really the ones who can't stomach enjoying gothic romances and have to twist it into something else?

it's a story of a fully grown man, a millenia old vampire, rescuing a teenager from sex slavery by purchasing him for himself, renaming him, showering him with affection, sexually abusing him, genuinely loving him, treating him like a child and an adult and student and son and lover all at the same time, making his entire world revolve around his master, punishing him emotionally and eventually physically whenever he gets too clingy or aggressive. and it's all done, not under just the 'guise' of love, but from a place of genuine love, and that's how both characters see it. it's entirely damaging and fucked up and the aftereffects of it on armand's mind and sense of self are present for centuries, compounded by everything else he went through. he still draws both comfort and pain from thinking about his past now and even tries to partially recreate the dynamic with someone else both in the book (with daniel, armand taking the role of the master; and keeping young 'mortal slaves' for a time) and in the show (with louis, armand taking the role of the slave)

it is a super fucked up relationship & i'm not one of those people who thinks you shouldn't be allowed to enjoy those in fiction. there's a lot of them that appeal to me obviously, and of course everyone has their own boundaries when it comes to that too. AND i know it's not all marius fans or even all marius/armand fans. i literally don't care what people like in fiction and i think we should all just mind our own business honestly

but it's the people who act like they're the only ones who get that it's just a tragic beautiful romance, that nobody else can read apparently, that 'marius haters' are just looking for things to be mad at that make me go ???????

[vaguely-concerned]

just going about my day idly contemplating how some of the ways hawke can interact with a romanced anders are not at all unlike how they interact with leandra (and a bit of carver too, especially with a purple hawke), and then thought about my hawke in the timeline where he romances anders and was hit straight in the face with 'was he ever actually in love, or was he just desperately trying to renegotiate with his mother's ghost in any way he could' and now i need to lie down. this is the power of dragon age 2

[sepiasys]

Went out to check in w/place we interviewed at. Had a breakdown in the fucking place. Person we needed to see wasn't there. Ended up feeling like a complete fool by the end of it. Had another breakdown heading home. Gonna try again at 9.

[crypticwritingz]

im so normal about him.

Vent in the tags....

[constantvariations]

K so, Semblances are connected to Aura which is a manifestation of the soul yeah?

In Before the Dawn, the father of the villains confirms that one of twin's semblance was active in the womb throughout a good portion of the pregnancy

Meaning, in Remnant, fetuses have souls. Wonder how legal abortions are

Edit: just remembered Pyrrha had to unlock Jaune's Aura in V1, so does that mean someone cracked open a fetus's Aura inside the womb? Was Gillian strong enough as a cluster of cells to unlock it herself?? Wtf is this origin story???

[trashogram]

am i the only one who wants to see alastor get smited next season like…. he needs to be dealt with

*Holds your hand while I tell you this*

Baby, he’s gonna be the center of everything next season. Vivienne Medrano confirmed it.

I’m so sorry.

[maybeicanbesaved]

got into yet another fight with my mom, again about voting/the election, she said that she’s only voted once in her life and never cares to again because she ‘doesn’t care about politics’, saying that shit almost proudly?? and it set me off for obvious reasons, then she got mad at me for saying it’s because she’s privileged and ‘most’ shit doesn’t affect her directly so she can afford ‘not to care’

[rogue205]

Am I the only one who thinks that Eric Kripke is dragging out the Soldier Boy potential return just to get fans of Jensen Ackles to keep tuning in? Because I do. I did read online that Kripke apparently didn’t think much of Jensen during the whole Supernatural run, constantly suppressing Dean Winchester’s development just so he wouldn’t become better than Sam(now I’m a bit worried about the rumors concerning Kripke trying to get Jared Padalecki to come onto the show, especially if Jensen does return). Hope that’s wrong, but I could believe it too.

But I thought he at least respected Jensen a little bit more than to give him a stupid write off like that. Then I remembered what he did to Dean at the end of Supernatural.

*********

Here, *everyone* basically joins up to take out Soldier Boy. It kinda makes sense a bit for Butcher because of Ryan but he and Starlight have such beef against Homelander, I really don’t believe they would join forces with him instead for anything. And it’s partially Butchers own damn fault that Ryan is in Homelander’s grasp in the first place.

I also have to laugh that some people apparently honestly think that Soldier Boy is even worse than Homelander. Just saying.

Why do people think this? According to Screen Rant, it’s because he was unmoved when Homelander got attached due to his man-child mindset and even introduced him to Ryan. Oh and he called Homelander “a f*cking disappointment” and hurt his feelings. Also from the same article, “He’s Homelanders father! He shouldn’t be mean to him like that!” Um, no. Homelander was a test tube baby who was created from Soldier Boy’s DNA without his knowledge, it’s not like they had an actual relationship. 🙄

Homelander has killed lots of people simply because he can, he feels like it and to make himself look better. He has no regard for human life and views them as things or “other” while he sees himself as a god because of his powers.

On the other hand, Soldier Boy seems more oblivious to any casualties he’s responsible for even if he does have a flippant attitude “because it was war”. Plus from what we saw in the show, the two times that Soldier Boy kills lots of people, it was because of a PTSD triggered flashback and not on purpose. His Payback teammates are a different story considering the fact that they betrayed him and sold him to the USSR where he was tortured and experimented on for 40 years. And I say this even being fully aware of how much of a dick he was to them first. Soldier Boy is not an innocent but he’s not the worst either.

Also unlike Homelander, it does seem that Soldier Boy actually has some morals, honor and does hold up his side of the deals that he makes even when those he made the deal with turn on him instead. He was betrayed AGAIN and this time it was basically for no reason other than to write him off.

Quite frankly, Soldier Boy could’ve been utilized for so much more, but he was wasted as a character. And that is so disappointing. I mean what was the point of giving him a new ability that is established as being able to neutralize the powers of other supes if he was just gonna get frozen in storage again.

I’m sure I can run more, but I think I might end it there and edit later. 🤷‍♀️

EDIT 1: now I’ve seen theories that this is possiblely just the beginning of Soldier Boy’s “Winter Soldier” because season three was his “Captain America” phase. Hmmmmm….

[dark-elf-writes]

I feel kind of mean for laughing but I’m currently trying to figure out how specific Burning Maze puns can get before it ventures too far into spoiler territory

(Listen, just trust me, it’s worse the MoA for one fact that is very spoilers)

I now live in terror thanks for that

[sammygender]

THANK YOU OLI I don't get the season 8 hype. No Cas, Sam and Dean have the same conflict they've been having the entire show with no new angles like why????

YEAH LITERALLY. inital conflict is literally dean being angry at sam for trying to move on and heal which is just so intensely unlikeable and for some reason i was shocked by it and it made me genuinely dislike him. to me dean is at his most awful in s8..... like he's not. he's definitely not. gadreel possession in s9 and like most of s9/10 with the mark is much worse than anything he does in s8 and killing amy in s7 was sooo awful too. but dean is just so intensely a dick in s8 and i was so angry with him and not even in a fun way. like in s9/10 he is AWFUL but i enjoyed the drama. i didnt even enjoy the interpersonal drama in s8. which is when you know something is wrong

then again. im probably too harsh on it and am basing it off memories of sitting through the first half because i LOVE the trials and sacrifice and the great escapist so so much. and i love kevin <3 he's s8 right. but. to me s8 will always be the worst season. maybe i just hate what it brings to the shows canon. sam leaving dean for a girl and a dog (which is NOT EVEN WHAT HAPPENED... and if it WAS it wouldve been justified.... id support sam even if i thought he abandoned dean unprovoked idc.....) is constantly brought back like the worst of his sins even as late as like. s11. SHUT UP. first half of s8 is just upsetting for sam reasons and not in a fun way

[autumnoakes]

also i do still love the idea of swapping claire and leon's re2 scenarios but i cannot help but think that the scene with sherry and chief irons would have been a LOTTT worse with leon instead of claire

[faaun]

lmao looking at her insta highlights was a mistake
