I love getting infantilized on the internet it's so fun ^^ (irl too) (<- all of this is /s btw)

underappreciated Nico detail that I like - he seems to be an angry crier! very frequently he's angry when he cries and he cries when he's extremely angry. very AuDHD of him. emotional regulation sucks my guy and he's just going through it.

No, you're right and you should say it. Ben's definitely one of those characters where his fans should be legally made to engage with the source material again every once in a while... and I say this as someone who's been a huge fan of him for almost a decade now, and who isn't immune to this phenomenon!

I definitely have some opinions about ben that a lot of his fans would assassinate me over because of this 😅

We desperately need to push a little away from the typical Ben Paul headcanons bc fanon ben feels like a completely different character from canon Ben.

I feel like we’re all in a bit of an echo chamber and we need some new takes on his personality and characterization because a lot of stuff seems to uWU him a lot and I get it!!! It’s fun!!! But the game has been out for over 10 years now and I haven’t really seen any differences in the headcanons/takes in Ben in the beginning and the ones now. I’ve seen a few aus that flip the script but little of that type of characterization in more canon-close content.

What a disgusting affront to all women and girls who have been victims of, or have watched their loves ones be victims of abusive fathers, brothers, husbands etc... do they realise the very common link between all of these physically and emotionally abusive men is that they were beaten as children? And there is a myriad of evidence that beating children does nothing except make them more likely to grow up to be physically violent?

[realvsable]

I guess my question is

Why do we give Solas the benefit of assuming his memories are 100% accurate? His paintings make him seem like a victim and his regrets make him seem like a big ol’ bag of dicks.

(EDIT: people reminded me that the regrets aren’t actually his memories, they’re those of the people around him…which makes me feel his paintings are even less reliable depictions of events)

Maybe they’re both true, but we already know he’s an unreliable source. To me, I’d want to keep memories that made me feel justified and comforted close and ones that make me feel shitty far away.

The other day I saw someone say that Jet would beat Zuko’s ass effortlessly in a sword fight, to which I say - does the epic fight in the tea shop mean nothing to you? They literally could not be more evenly matched 😭😭

Lrb dear god, this reminded me of that time when Alfred-chan got sooooo mad at my post explaining why fans should respect bisexual headcanons for Maria and Malenia instead of pretending like they're canonically lesbians and that they get oppressed and erased by mxf ships with them. They kept vagueing that post for like a MONTH in their blog including in tags under reblogs of Maria fanart, passively-aggressively changed their url to character+sexuality to "spite" me and then even made a sockpuppet account to start shit with me in the comments.

They deactivated when me and Val completely obliterated their "you cultivate lesbiphobic following by telling people why they should respect all sexuality headcanons instead of acting cultish or assuming their experiences and stereotypes equal canon confirmation" garbage with actual facts and logic tho but I screenshotted everything fjthfgfj (I learned to document everything the hard way after they've changed the she/they pronouns to they/they pronouns ONLY to accuse me of misgendering, so thank you for making me wiser I guess 😎). Even more vile, as they, a white person, larped as an Arab in that sockpuppet to hold even MORE "privilege" against me in discussion gjtjfh Because for them race, gender or sexuality are just badges of honor and dishonor, they don't see these as traits of actual human beings. And Dr Eugene X, who worked with them and weaponized her race to accuse everyone who disagreed with her of racism, didn't bat an eye at such a terrible act too?? As usual, rules are not for their friends, lol

It is not even the worst thing Alfred did, and yet all of this just, just, JUST because I wrote a point on why bisexual headcanon people did nothing wrong and there is no ground to claim something is canon when it isn't. 🤦‍♂️ Like, they were soooo convinced that I hated lesbian headcanons and that I'd feel angry if they called Lady Maria a lesbian, when what I was angry at is this exact toxic behavior in the fandom. No matter how much you like a headcanon, don't be a bitch about it. Maria doesn't """belong""" to any gender or sexuality, she belongs to anyone who likes her and is invested in her complexity as a character!!!

Yet, apparently, common Malenia simps / Finlay shippers are no better than common Maria simps / Mariadeline shippers. Just, wild how after shit like this, many people have the guts to claim that it is "sexist redditbros" who are the biggest problem of creators in the fandom. 🤦‍♂️ They'd actually blush if they encountered what such self-proclaimed "feminists" do to their own (!!!) over headcanons. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Okay but why I am seeing people on TikTok say the show is ruining aemonds character??? People insist they’re making him “too dark” or “too evil”. Like have we been watching the same man? The same man who held a grudge with a child for years and ultimately killed him (albeit he lost control of vhagar but he didn’t have to chase him on his much bigger dragon), who happily calls rhaenyras kids bastards and taunts them about it damn well knowing they could all get killed for treason. The same man who in the books slaughtered everyone in Haarenhal simply because he was angry. The same man who took a woman against her will and made her his whore. Aemond as a character is temperamental and chooses violence at any minor inconvenience, but also deep down is an angry resentful boy who was bullied relentlessly. So are we really that surprised he purposely tried to kill Aegon? Or that he burned a whole city down because he was angry? Or that he manhandled Haelena because she wouldn’t do as he wanted? Liking a character is one thing, but being in denial about them being a villain is delusional. Aemond isn’t a good guy, he never has been and never will be. That we want to think he is, that’s an entirely different matter. Now unless I’m watching the show with my ass, Aemond has always been this man, it’s just that now he has the power to do as pleases without repercussions. But he’s literally known as the cruel prince and a kinslayer. Those aren’t the qualities of an innocent man. The show isn’t ruining his character by taking him too far, they’re simply showing what he’s capable of now that he can.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Ewan literally said in an interview aemond is a boy who would burn down a village just to feel its warmth. He always says aemond just needs to chill out. If Ewan himself who is so in tune and is so protective of aemond says these things, we can’t we just accept we like a bad guy? It’s not the end of the world.

I'm still not over Jay's name.... Jay Walker...

One of my favorite things about Jay is how he’s always the first one to resort to crime (featuring one of my favorite Jay clips)

[nidstiniens]

i am irrationally annoyed by the results of that poll about which scion could get closest to defeating the wol because we've canonically kicked estinien's ass multiple times, once while he was possessed by one of the most powerful dragons in existence, but the masses voted for him over g'raha tia, who not only has the power to transcend time and space, but who could also go toe-to-toe with emet-selch in terms of both power and wits

Frankly, no one disrespects Garrus more than his own fans.

"Wouldn't it be cute if we just stripped him of all his agency, goals, and even life apart from Shepard and made him completely dependent on them? True love, no Shepard without Vakarian!"

This kind of infantilization is part and parcel of every single fandom, of course, but it's especially disheartening when it's applied to characters whose entire story is about self-discovery. You've just denied him any goals or personality of his own and decided that's romantic. Damn, that is sad.
