#“but it wouldnt be so popular”

[ladyaryawolf]

Time passes and every single day I think that this godforsaken show shouldn't have existed.

History of Westeros tries to act like some sort of ASOIAF authority because they've re-read the books several times, but they really aren't. They legitimately released a YouTube short about Robb's Will being up in the air, which is correct, it is, but they also said that Sansa's marriage to Tyrion was annulled, which is factually wrong and just sounds like annoying Sansa Stan propaganda this fandom loves to spew that completely misconstrues and makes up about Sansa as a character and her arc and themes. I know Stansa's love coming up with excuses about Robb's Will to try to explain how Sansa can become Lady/Queen or the North/Winterfell (spoiler alert: she doesn't even have a leadership arc so how does that make sense?) but this is just next tier bullshit. Sansa's marriage isn't annulled just because you wish it hard enough. Littlefinger is hoping Tyrion is dead so that when Sansa makes her grand appearance after marrying Harry the Heir, it's not proved she's some bigamist, and that her marriage is legitimate. Littlefinger didn't magically finagle an annulment. No Sansa is still Lady Lannister in the books by the people of Westeros no matter how much this fandom wants to boo and hiss and complain about it. No matter what you want, this is what she is known to be in the books right now, just like Arya is still Lady Bolton and Lady of Winterfell (through proxy) by the people in Westeros. No matter how much you complain, it doesn't negate canon.

Can't say I'm surprised though. History of Westeros has defended the show and actually thinks what happened in the show, will largely take place in the books. And they are legitimate Arya anti's. I remember a few years ago they tried answering a question about what they think Arya's upcoming arc and endgame could be, and they couldn't think up anything beyond her either dying or sailing away. How can you be a self-proclaimed ASOIAF authority and not even take Arya's character and arc seriously enough to have legitimate, good faith ideas about where it's going considering she's one of the five main protagonists? Riddle me that?

It's ridiculous and all of this just proves my point. New fans of these books, or even older fans of these books who haven't re-read them, or haven't re-read them in a long time, need to be wary of these so-called "authorities" in fandoms, because most of the time they are biased and they spread lies. It's not a coincidence that most of the lies these people spread always misconstrued or flat out lie about Sansa's character, arc, plots, or circumstances in the books, either. I mean just look at this claim that Sansa's marriage to Littlefinger is already annulled. Look at how many things would come easier to her if that was the case. Not only would she no longer be tied to the Lannister name, but if she were to go on and wed another she wouldn't be considered a bigamist and it would be legitimate. And that's not even considering the fact that the reason Robb made up a Will was to specifically disinherit Sansa from ever getting Winterfell after being married into the Lannister family, so that the Lannister's couldn't claim it through her.

Hmm...kind of seems like History of Westeros isn't just making a dumb mistake (which you'd think would be edited out in the editing process if it was) but actually spreading lies to support their Pawn to Player/Queen Sansa propaganda even though it's still highly unlikely that Sansa would ever become leader of the North even if she got an annulment considering everything going against her in her own arc, which doesn't even include the fact that she quite literally doesn't have a leadership arc and she's the most passive POV character I've ever read and how she's constantly in lalaland. The fact that Robb, the legitimate heir to Winterfell, had to prove himself worthy in a bloody and violent and proactive way, should tell us everything about what the North is looking for in a leader, and it's not some pretty princess puppet planning parties. Sorry not sorry.

"nanowrimo majorly fucked up" yes true

"nanowrimo has always been a shit way to write a novel" EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE

box gave up on her place in the game and drowned. after this, her corpse is dragged around, referred to as a male, treated like she's alive when no one sees that she isn't and no one ever finds out until suitcase finds her in the MeAfterlife, where she's decided to stay all this time despite there being an option to leave and live her life- saying that its not worth the risk to fight her way out because the only thing out there is a cruel, uncaring world where no matter if you do the right thing or not and stand up for yourself- you pay the price for it. this, too, is a trans allegory- (i am swiped off stage by a comically large cane)

Revisiting this extra about Falin wanting makeup and

I didn't think much of her scrambling through her papers at first but. Knowing that she used to be one of the top researchers I'm like... Damn how busy was she that she wasn't sure if she'd have either weekend days free. How packed was that schedule all the time.

How many times did she have to say no to Falin meekly asking to spend time together, that she would be this happy to say yes....

Look at that smile. That's so sweet what the hell

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.

Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now

Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.

Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!

Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

I know we're all thinking Scarecrow and fear toxin, but honestly a drug that keeps people calm and compliant feels more Hugo Strange or Mad Hatter territory

You know it's probably 70% because it's Jeff Goldblum but you know what. You know what. You know what. Why is the Wizard kinda... you know.... 👀

I was in my yt shorts foreverscrolling, as one does, and a clip of when Elphaba received her balloon from the Wizard came up and one comment said "you have to admit his little messenger balloon is pretty cute" and someone replied something like "manipulators like him often use 'cute' things to deceive people" and something in my brain just remembered "oh, right, so he's a charismatic manipulating charlatan who is also desperate for approval and praise but also secretly extremely insecure and he sees nothing wrong with lying and having big grandiose gestures to lie/celebrate/indulge himself even to the point he has no problem massively misleading people on an untold scale. Go on 👀"

None of the civilians even fucking know what the Wizard looks like but most of them are so camp-level brain dead that you could just have Madame Morrible say "oh, [the Reader] ran away because they're just so shy :) you know everyone has been young and in love and, the Wizard needs your help making sure they stay out of trouble and come home, everyone ^^" and you'd have munchkins tailing you by that same week

Personally I've always been a little, hungry for the trope of "Powerful 'damsel' whose abilities are used/exploited by the villain who is obsessed with them" trope and I couldn't decide if the idea of Reader being a witch or a civilian is more appealing to me. Are you powerless because of the social pressure and manipulated situation you are forced into, or, are you also literally powerless?

You're just like, forcibly cowed into being his little... personal sorceror/pal/loverrrrrrrrr i guess?

Seeing the new movie, and especially The Wiz, the Emerald City celebrations are always so grandiose, and I can picture he's just constantly dragging you to those. Or, would you be forced to be a recluse, since he hides his face from even his palace guards? Does he even go out or does he just make announcements with scwry automatons? How many people even know he's like, a person-person? Does the general public just hear "oh hey this is Reader they're gonna be the Wizard's 'special friend' ;) be nice to them everyone" and they just immediately accept you're this weird giant robot/human weird interspecies couple (or am I totally misinterpreting and people think he summons the robot to talk with magic...)

I mean, I guess spoilers but we also already know that the Wizard knows how to be charming and seductive when he wants to 👀 I admit I didn't recognize his voice when he first appeared but everyone is saying it's super obvious to tell and also that the play/book is so old that everyone already knows but, again spoilers, finding out that he's the guy I was talking about from my last post has me a lil 🥴😳 we literally just watched him seduce and party his way into impregnating her like, no I'm GONNA be gross about it! she really did deadass let him hit it raw he nailed that shit so good like???? Hello???? I'm about to risk it all--

omg this website rewlly is so white why are so many people admitting that they see rap as this normie thing that tumblr freaks are too isolated from on account of how different and obscure we all are. like as if all of these people don't literally just talk about mcr and nine inch nails all day which is like basically on a similar level of popularity. rap is too "other" and is what "everyone else" and "those people" like because they automatically sweep black people into that view of what they think is normie cishet mental illness-free part of the world who couldn't possibly understand their crazyyy sense of humor and extreme dark and mysterious music taste as if it doesn't still play on the radio at the end of the day

hi! i was just wondering what it is specifically that you dislike about wangxian? i'm kind of intrigued, because while i get how someone could find them boring, i've never really considered anything about their dynamic (and as you mentioned in response to a previous anon, their confession scene) particularly off putting. no pressure to answer this, and this is in no way hate towards you i'm just genuinely curious <3 (i love your art by the way it's gorgeous)

Thank you for the compliment! ♥ This is gonna get ranty so I will hide it below read more as not everyone has to deal with reading this, so proceed with caution :'D

Wangxian is the weakest WWX dynamic. On god, even if I'm not fond of Yanli, they have very loving relationship where they are protective of each other and gentle with each other in a harsh world. I don't ship WWX/JC but their story and complicated love of someone you grow up with and care for deeply but clash constantly with is more interesting than anything wangxian ever had. Nie Huaisang and Wei Wuxian clicked together so naturally, they are chaotic and are similiarly not too interested in being up to rules. Jin Zixuan and WWX had a potential of going from enemies to partners in crime, to become family and have each other's backs but JZX was cut short and WWX never really cared afterwards either. WWX with the wens took time to build up but his YLLZ farmer era was one of the best WWX's in the story. Damn, even Lan Xichen who's always amused with WWX's temperament and secretly has a drink with wwx and is altogether looser with the rules while still being lawful matches with him way more than LWJ where there's... nothing. They were smashed together for convenience and we were suppossed to just go with it cause they are the two main characters. LWJ feels like he was just made so WWX has a "hot stoic top" to fuck him and the rest of the characters are actually build with the story and therefore feel more natural

Wangxian don't feel like they are in love, not in the way the fans make them out to be into some romantic picture perfect angsty deserved lovestory. LWJ's personal space is constantly disrespected, he's punished constantly for WWX's mistakes, he constantly needs to be the one to adjust to how WWX is instead of the other way around and after all that, LWJ doesn't really /know/ WWX so his attraction feels very idealized. WWX is the bad boy that goes against the rules and LWJ wishes he could be that (or with that) but it's almost a childish infatuation from their Gusu days that never evolved into something more mature. And WWX? I can't see how he'd like LWJ as anything more than in a physical sense. Even their obnoxious "Back then I wanted to sleep with you" confession scene is purely physical. He doesn't really know LWJ or respects him, LWJ is just a familiar face in a world that is against WWX and he's a hot body that likes him. LWJ is an easy score in a way, he's a safe option. And it'd be SO interesting if they went into that, but instead it's played like the only true love (dont forget, they are meant to be as the ONLY gay pairing in MDZS which I find insane when everyone else has more chemistry and in the end gets shat on so wangxian can fuck in a bush. I mean, LWJ leaves LXC to be depressed and alone after everything LXC stands for and did? Fucking ridiculous.)

It tries to "subvert" tropes but ends up being more stereotypical than anything. WWX was almost meant as this jock-y rebellious hotshot but instead we got a quirky twink, early 2000s shonen protagonist and every yaoi's Uke I've been seeing since like 2008. Are they suppossed to be different because the "stoic white-coded" one is not the bottom? Is the bar this low? If anything, this ornament top is the most usual top, let's be real, LWJ barely has personality or growth or focus, he's there to fuck WWX.

This is a petty reason but MXTX's "wangxian is the only gay couple" everyone else being implied straight as if to highlight just how real their love is that they are gay in time period where it's frowned upon, even though Yi City and 3zun combinations had more chemistry than anyone is. Annoying. And so is the "Don't ship them with anyone else and don't switch their dynamics" that fuels some of the most obnoxious people in the fandom to go after fanwork creators that do/like things differently.

All in all Wangxian is THE face of danmei, they are the most known even outside of danmei circles and they are extremely mediocry written for that. I mean, fuck, you put straight couple in their place and I guarantee no one would like it, it has the depth of a high school hormone-riddled couple who have different classes and "only" get to see each other during breaks and make out during lunch with others at the table, idk it's so fucking annoying to me when I know there were better options, when WWX had so many interesting dynamics that got shat on in favor of bland ass ship and I'm tired of having to like it/tolerate it just because it's gay.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk, this was extremely healing 🤣
