#Grow up you losers

Tumblr contains truly some of the dumbest people imaginable. Honestly. Sending anon hate to someone based on someone else’s interpretation of a comment they made on a post is truly so fucking wild. Like, these people literally have no brains or ability to think for themselves. They just read someone else saying “this is bad must be canceled” and decide to go harass some stranger without spending even a single second actually thinking for themselves. Genuinely fucking wild.

anyways I hope the idiots of tumblr sending me anon hate one day develop the skills to think for themselves

M'LORD M'LORD PEOPLE ARE ASSUMING THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE REVOLVES AROUND SEX AGAIN

[philyuri]

not to demon post but like. sometimes i think about the "friends" label and the fact that it's a little bit of a haha in-joke but also... i mean. when dan said he didnt have a best friend for the first 18 years of his life he meant it yknow. like i do think that out of all the possible labels he's used, soulmates husbands arch enemies furniture who the fuck knows, best friends is amongst the most meaningful... if you never had a best friend and then met him and he stayed in that spot for fifteen years the fact that he's also the love of your life can maybe be just a bit of a bonus.

I guess the ultimate thing that kills CF for me - or at least nudges it away from me saying I definitively like it - is just how much Edelgard is clearly written with the player in mind before she's written with her character in mind.

Because on all of the other routes, there's a power to Edelgard's presence. Even on BE, there's a sense that for as lonely as Edelgard might be, she still ultimately will do whatever it takes for her to get what she wants. Be that be killing her citizens (or otherwise letting them be killed), endangering her friends, assisting in kidnapping people, allowing Byleth to support her only when they have the Sword of the Creator, covering for TWS - no bar is too low for her to limbo under if doing so means she's even a step closer to her goals.

She's manipulative! She's deceitful! She doesn't care for the lives of her people! Even her friends are forfeit if they try to stand in her way! And this happens no matter how close you, the player, get to her, in the case of BE - C+ ain't stoppin' Remire, and going to the coronation ain't stopping the Holy Tomb.

And in the war phase, she is dominating the field. She has the Kingdom completely on the ropes, down to a few houses standing against Imperial rule, and the Alliance is stuck in neutrality - she may not be able to do much to it, but neither can they do anything to her (to say nothing of the Alliance houses who stand with her). She's far from the underdog in this race, and she shows off how threatening she can be.

CF? Her route?

She scweams at scawy rats. She gets embawwassed when you find her dwawings. She's just so wonewy, and she's just so gwad that you chose her. She somehow fails to capture Rhea, or frame Dimitri for regicide, and so now has to deal with that on the Kingdom's side of the war. But that doesn't stop Elly Welly-kins fwom twying to find her pwecious teacher, because you're just so important to her. She cwies and hugs you when you meet her in the Goddess Tower!! Because she missed you so much!!

It's like... Dimitri and Claude certainly show different sides of themselves on their respective routes. It's the whole point! You grow closer to them and thus see how they treat those close to them, as opposed to being the Kinda Neat Teacher they see run along every now and then. But, like... Claude doesn't become a blushing maiden whenever Byleth speaks with him on VW. Dimitri doesn't scream at scary rats and get called cute for it on AM. They don't get Basic Bitch Gap Moe Traits slapped onto them that are only ever shown to the player and only on their routes. Unlike Edelgard.

Dimitri's endearing trait is that he's this big huge dude who can bench-press forests and arm-wrestle god who still wants to learn to sew and who teaches kids to protect themselves and who buys candies for his friends. Claude's endearing trait is that he's this mastermind planner who has contingency and lie and obfuscation as three separate legal government names who still wants everyone to be safe and happy and hold hands and be friends.

Edelgard is strong, confident, and willing to do some of the shittiest things known to man for her goals. Her endearing trait is that her screams are cute. She's shy about her drawings of the player character. She blushes over the player potentially joking about having sex with her per her JPN version of her C support; you know, the one about how Byleth walks in on Edelgard muttering in her sleep from a nightmare about her tortured family? Perfect time to joke about fucking her! Dimitri and Claude's endearments are, well, endearing; Edelgard's are all straight up embarrassing for her.

Hell, even the smaller stuff is affected! Claude's passion for poisons and mushrooms are things he has no qualms about having others know about, despite how weird they are. Dimitri laughing at shitty jokes brings him no personal discomfort or embarrassment, despite just how loudly he laughs at them. They have traits to them that can easily be uwu worthy, and they don't care! Of the lords, only Edelgard does! Because, it feels like, the only way for a strong, resolute female character to come off as approachable is if she's knocked down a few pegs for specifically and only you, the player.

And that sucks ass! I'm sorry, but when I'm playing Edelgard's route I don't want to deal with her hiding herself away in her room for a month IN THE MIDDLE OF HER FUCKING WAR because she's just so embawwassed! It is so fucking insensitive that Edelgard is literally the only lord of the three who can have her trauma openly belittled at any point in the story by Byleth, all to have some cheap cutesy uwu moment about her fear of rats (calling her screaming in fear cute and INSISTING that it's really cute which is just. Fucking ew man)! Why can we fucking mock Edelgard's manner of speech during the MASSACRE OF REMIRE?

This shit doesn't happen to Claude or Dimitri! And saying "oh just don't pick those options then" is bullshit because no equivalent options exist for the male lords! It's piss-boilingly annoying that the second you choose to see things from the strong confident villainous ambitious female lord's perspective you can reduce her down to this bumbling moeblob just for you (sometimes unavoidably!) like!! Dude!

genuinely never understood the preoccupation with bullying people for being harmlessly weird. like if seeing someone wearing eccentric clothing or having an unusual hobby elicits some kind of unfounded aggression in you then i don't know what to tell you. get a grip maybe

[therunnerwizard]

I just stumble into a discourse about how Aang doesn't respect/love Katara enough because he doesn't build a statue of her, and how if Katara ends up with Zukko he will obviously build one for her as a token of his love and respect.

Tbh, I can't even take that seriously, I mean? in what world do you think Katara needs anyone to build a statue for her? If Toph can go anywhere and build herself a statue I very much believe Katara can do the same thing. She doesn't need any man or woman to build a statue for her, nor she wants one (for now), I think that's why we don't see any statue of her.

And Aang literally built a whole island of Air nomads with so many cultural influences from Nothern watertribe. Air nomads are mostly donned in gold, yellow, and orange, but you can see that Air Temple Island has so many blue/navy right from the structure of the temple itself to the dining halls, not to mention that the practice ground has yin and yang symbol which is obv a waterbender culture.

You don't have to lie through your teeth and say Aang doesn't love Katara enough cause he doesn't build her a statue when he fuckn builds her a whole island rich in his and Katara's culture. He builds her a home, a forever one.

the way that people yap about how it’s okay to have your opinions and to not like certain ships and characters,

until we speak about regulus and jegulus

look at them loosing their minds over someone saying hey this character actually sucks ass and prioritizing him over the WOMAN AT THE CENTER OF THE STORY is kinda weird!

grow tf up challenge go!

[bloodheartz]

Just gonna say that mocking people for voicing their disappointment over the stream (spongebobscreamingwithflyingicecreamtruck.png “IN A CIVIL AND POLITE MANNER”) just makes you like. An asshole lmao. People are gonna be disappointed when they’re told they’re getting one thing and getting another no matter what, even if what they get instead is really good/funny.

[alisaint]

i'm not eloquent enough to explain my thoughts better but i find it very weird, off-putting, and juvenile when a celebrity figure says something political that some disagree with and instead of going "oh. hm. okay" and being normal about it their ex-fans will turn it into a stan war like "fuck xyz, stan abc for clear skin instead ✌️😙" like. that just reads really insensitive and cringe to me. this is politics and you're talking abt stanning. please just go do your homework like

[slutdge]

youre never going to make pop music that hints at gay sex appealing to me or make me think its revolutionary, i want to have nasty sweaty style sucking and fucking with piss and blood and guts and if its anything short of that DIE

Potterheads are more outraged and offended by Miriam Margolyes' opinion than they are by the fact that JK Rowling is a steaming pile of transphobic piece of shit.
