#Geneva (character)

[azure-clockwork]

I love three houses discourse because I'm pretty sure everyone just picks their route based on which house leader they're the most gay for and then tries to defend their pick by pointing out the other sides's war crimes via twitter memes. Reader, all four of them do substantial quantities of war crimes. So many. We're just here because the woman with Issues and a big fuck-off axe said so, and then we gotta justify everything she did in the name of dismantling the class system. I mean, I'm here for that, but you could also try justifying Charm Man uses poison and perfidy to try to stop racism, A Sad Little Meow Meow gives no quarter instead of doing therapy, or the Thicc Pope tries to bring back her mom via human experimentation, depending on your tastes

Someone, sometime after Odysseus is back home in Ithaca:

Bro, you've cheated on Penelope :( That's not cool

Odysseus, raising his eyebrows:

....I've lead Agamemnon's daughter to the sacrificial altar, i killed Palamedes, I almost killed Diomedes, I made teen Achilles fight for us as well as his teen son, I left Philoctetes behind and then stole from him, I stole a statue from Athena from INSIDE troy, I convinced the whole army to keep fighting against troy, I beat up a guy who didn't like us, Ajax killed himself because of me, I sacked Troy and Ismarus, I maimed a cyclops, I lied to every person I've ever met at least ONCE, and killed the 108 suitors of my wife, I'm sure I forgot something, and that is your only complaint? *gets flashbacks to hermes telling him not to refuse Circe and the seven years spent at Ogygia's beach crying in Calypsos grasp* ....sure, add it on to the list *tired sigh*

I was reading a post that said the Separatists committed more war crimes than the Republic, and all I could think about was Alpha-17 kicking down the door and bellowing “This is unacceptable!” He made sure his side were ahead in terms of war crimes before he left and he sure as hell isn’t going to let the Separatists exceed his total!

The 4 horsemen. Bringers of the apocalypse in Christian mythology. But what if Christians got it wrong.

Meet the 4 horsemen, reapers with the soul purpose to prevent the end of the world & ease the mortal souls passing in the meantime.

Mortal World Jobs⬇️

Death: businessman (aka- full-time reaper)

Plague: Doctor

Famine: fast food ceo & soup kitchen owner

War: Peacekeeper

I found the spell Circle of Death while looking at Arcanums for kicks and I need to ask: does ANYONE use this in regular play and if so, are your PCs on trial for war crimes?

Circle of Death

6th-level necromancy Casting Time: 1 action Range: 150 feet Components: V, S, M (the powder of a crushed black pearl worth at least 500 gp) Duration: Instantaneous A sphere of negative energy ripples out in a 60-foot-radius sphere from a point within range. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw. A target takes 8d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The extent of possessiveness some people have on art that they post on the internet is crazy to me like, I'm seeing someone on art fight all caps serious business warning not to save image files of their characters UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Like Oh no your character ref png is on another computer!!!!!! Who cares

[gutz-radio]

the more izzy antis say izzy hands isn't some sweet babygirl or whatever the more i'm gonna treat him like one yeah so what if he's mean. he's my sweet innocent babygirl it's just him being quirky and funny. grow up.

[cyberstevie]

it looks like there’s discourse about norman takamori and whether he deserves to be piloted like a meatsuit by another intelligence indefinitely vis a vis his past his behaviors his abuse his misogyny etc etc and my take on it is it’s not that deep

[hyacinths-in-a-storm]

Favorite au you’ve made?

Damn this was hard to answer because I love all my AUs, but I would have to say Cannibal Ursa AU, I had a lot of fun making it up and talking about it with my friends. But a close second would definitely be either Twin Azula and Zuko AU and ATLA in LOK Setting (it’s a long story) AU, because in both of those AUs Azula and Zuko have a more complex relationship which I always find fun to write (or at least think of writing). Thanks for the ask anon!

Jesus, nearly a decade since the show aired and so much of the SU fandom still can't understand that Jasper wasn't an antagonist simply because she was the most evil Gem in existence, but rather she was ALSO victimized by the Authority and traumatized by the "death" of her Diamond. Like you can't tell me her whole thing when Steven offers to help her when she is corrupting and she says he comes to people after they've failed, because doing so makes them feel like less of a failure wasn't directly inspired by Diamond leadership, lmao. White even says something similar to Steven in Change Your Mind. "You like surrounding yourself with inferior lifeforms so that you can be the best of the worst."

Yes, Lapis and Jasper were in a toxic relationship in the form of Malachite. No, Lapis was not UNIQUELY victimized by this and Jasper is pure evil. It's been said many times by Rebecca Sugar that Lapis and Jasper had a mutual toxic relationship going on with Malachite, and that this was equally bad for both of them; this doesn't make Lapis completely innocent, nor does it make Jasper completely innocent. It's two abuse victims going at it with one another because its the only coping mechanism they can afford at the moment. It's messy, its ugly, and so many people only want to talk about how horrible Lapis had it because she's a more palatable character than Jasper.

I'm not saying what Jasper did wasn't awful. It was. But you also have to look at her character and realize that a lot of it came from being under the Diamonds. Jasper is also a victim of the Diamond Authority, but because we don't see her resolution with it all on screen like Lapis, lots of fans gloss over the fact that she's also a victim, and isn't uniquely evil.

Like. Can y'all please use nuance when talking about Malachite, Lapis, and Jasper instead of jumping to "OOOOOHHHHHHHHHH LAPIS WAS JUST AN INNOCENT UWU BABY ABUSE VICTIM AND JASPER IS THE MEAN EVIL TOXIC ABUSER" because that's absolutely not accurate and even Rebecca Sugar has said this isn't an accurate portrayal of what happened with Malachite. Rebecca Sugar herself said that they were in a mutually toxic relationship, and that that was by design on the part of the crew.

Jasper isn't uniquely evil and people defending her aren't abuse apologists, or trying to frame it as JASPER is the innocent person in the equation. Most people defending her are instead saying "Yeah, she's a shithead, but she also had her own issues that caused a lot of it, like Lapis."

And before anyone tries to come for me in the comments/reblogs: I'm also a victim of abuse. I know at least a little bit about what I'm talking about. You don't have to like Jasper, just don't show your ass when someone defends her or says they like her, or get rude about abuse apologism when someone points out that they were, in fact, in a mutually toxic relationship.

A gift for Taleea once again, of her beautiful girl, Gen! The idea comes from a base on Pinterest! ^^

I think the beauty in Chloe/Geneva is that unlike most pairings with this dynamic, both of them are completely insane.

rambling about various bsd characters and things every day for a month :: 6/31 :: jouno

stamps my feet and points ^ i love this man so much.

I've seen so many people in the fandom completely characterize him and it drives me NUTS. No, he isn't just a sadist. No, he isn't inherently good. For fuck's sake, no, he isn't just "misunderstood."

Jouno genuinely does not "care about everyone deep down." He IS a sadist, he enjoys seeing people in pain, being tortured, but that's not all of it.

He doesn't give two fucks about good and bad or morals. I'm sure, being a part of the hunting dogs and everything, Jouno has had ideals of justice and morality impressed upon him, and he understands those concepts, he just doesn't care.

I'd like to just draw a parallel between him and Dazai really quickly. Both of them are considerably morally gray, that's widely accepted. However, in this comparison the difference is illustrated really well; Dazai spent a lot of time in the port mafia, right?

During his time in the PM, Dazai has tortured people numerous times (see his conversation with Kouyou) but that was all for a purpose. Dazai tortured people for his own gain, to reach his goals; Jouno does it just because, for his entertainment. Dazai also understands the concept of morality, and he's constantly trying to become a better person like Oda wanted. Dazai cares about good and bad, and right and wrong to a point.

Jouno, on the other hand, doesn't. Though he's part of the HD, and his job is literally in the pursuit of justice, he doesn't care. He does his job not out of pride for what he does, nor does he strive to become a better person.

Sorry, that was a lot but it drives me crazy when people call him misunderstood or not really a bad guy.

My next point is about the better (?), or the side of Jouno that we associate more with good. His character development, so to say, can be seen in chapter 92.5 (i think? correct me if i'm wrong), when he saves the old woman.

I think he honestly felt appreciated by her, and that caused a major change in his psyche, or at least, triggered it. In all these years of working as a hunting dog, I'm sure that somewhat subconsciously, a sense of justice has reached him. Yes, it isn't very strong, yes, we don't see it much, and yes, it hasn't stopped him from continuing to do horrible things, but it is still there nonetheless.

This just shows part of his motivation, or why he betrayed Fukuchi at the airport. The smallest sense of justice he felt drove him to arguably save the world.

And finally, this is more speculation than fact, but I think this betrayal also seemed like redemption to Jouno. Think about it: Jouno KNOWS that what he does and feels is "wrong" by society's standards, he just doesn't care (i just wrote 6 paragraphs about this help-), but the smallest bit of morality, along with how he felt at the bank, drove him to move a little towards good.

All his life, Jouno was aware of how twisted and horrifying his nature is, and I think he started to see himself as a monster or inhuman at some point (to be fair, the hunting dogs ARE inhuman, because of the surgeries and whatnot). This was his atonement.

2024 -> 2021 -> 2016 Evolution of my Hagatha, my first D&D character from back when I was in high school. The campaign she was in was short lived and didn't even really qualify as D&D but I had fun
