#I apologize for her crimes.

[apocalypta-secundus]

"That was a good look for you." She honestly wanted to do it again. Didn't even draw blood, what a damn shame. "At least give me a bit of a challenge."

He shrieks and hits the deck--

I don’t really see Laura as evil, if someone was evil they wouldn’t ya know feel some remorse or feel terrible at the shit they done. They would move forward without a care. Laura to me was deeply hurt and took out it on the world with cruel force. She would have continued if she wasn’t stopped, but still. It really calmed her down just a tad bit and kills by orders now. Doesn’t feel bad about it but it does get to her at times. That I do love, i would probably tell her,”so after what happened to you-you just took it out on the world on innocence knowing you were innocent too?hypocritical aren’t we?”yeah i would be lunch.

Yeah she'd probably dislike being called out like that. I mean she's THINKING it but hearing it be said out loud always hurts and monsters are often immature in their ways of solving things.

I REALLY like this character analysis of her. I was a bit skeptical at the first couple words but I agree completely. She's not inherently evil, her mind was irreversibly fucked up by another's doing which broke her view of the world and herself and led her to either hurt herself or others. She chose both but moreso the latter.

When you think about it it's actually a bit hard to categorize her, like Alucard. Yes her crimes are countless and yes she fucking eats people and kids and innocents but she's also like... an animal. Her human instincts have been almost completely overtaken by her new werewolf ones and it's kind of a fucked up situation for her because she'd HAVE to eat human meat to keep her strength (in my werewolf lore hc). It's like vampires, their existence is inherently tied to hurting people, and especially to people (them) getting hurt and changing into something terrible. Seras is the only creature shown in the series that kept her morality because her mental backbone is made out of titanium and Integra rejected that altogether so we love them.

I just REALLY like "wounded predatory animal" type of characters. How much of your instinct is inherent and how can you fight it. Were you pushed to hurt or did you always have it in you and it has an excuse to let out. The aggression that comes with being a terrified creature with only your teeth to defend yourself. Delicious Give me 14 of them right now.

(.) Another note about Laura calming down after getting nearly killed is the realization that people can retaliate even when her attacks are justified in her mind. Yes she knew the concept of paper but never really understood it (like many people that don't even realize it). In her rage she had a "i got hurt, now I hurt them back and the cycle will stop" mentality that was kind of what happened in the abbey, with her killing her abusers and the physical harm stopping because their mangled remains literally inside her guts right now. It was a very childish attitude she had that made the silver bullet more a wake up call than an execution. It didn't really teach her that what she was doing was wrong (she knew it was wrong, all of it, and she still did it, which is very reprehensible and should be condemned), it taught her that hurting innocent humans (or rather, those with loved ones) will result in them retaliating against her.

i actually love thinking about preS4 vinerva and how their relationship deteriorates throughout the season and how it relates to the clemvi romance and just violets character in general but unfortunately some people cant be normal about them so instead i just gotta keep it to myself

[bijoumikhawal]

also it really is shit how several popular bloggers were like. Horribly bigoted towards ace people when it was cool, but once it stopped being trendy they 1) deleted those posts so receipts couldn't be pulled 2) maybe put up claimed "redactions" or said "omg its been years if you really wanna know wether i still hate those people dm me" but never apologized for their behavior lmao. I don't think any of the people who did that actually changed, I just think they know it's not such an acceptable/fun target to bully anymore. It's really sick how that type of bullying was encouraged for years and how few people repented for their behavior.

Amazed with how many people say they like Birdie or they find her, not Kate Hudson but her, genuinely attractive. Did you completely miss the point? As an attractive white woman, Birdie Jay can get away with saying “Jewy” as an insult, can get away with comparing herself to Harriet Tubman and implicitly can get away with doing blackface. People forgave her, because she’s just a little stupid, she didn’t mean it, it wasn’t her fault! All she needs to do, as Peg outright states, is give a half apology and lay low and then the world will get over it. But the things she did are still horrific. Her racism is still racism, regardless of whether it comes from hate or ignorance. Birdie Jay is not a good person and you’re not meant to think she is.

Curious Questions

Based on a bit of writing i did last night, kinda, i started the drawing, then wrote it better

“I hope Varang helps redeem Quaritch—“

I hope she’s worse.

Fandom misogyny is truly crazy because wdym Reaver (a remorseless murderer and capitalist slave-driver) is a fan favorite in the Fable fandom while Theresa and Whisper are hated and afforded no nuance

[blue-thief]

honobono drives me insane because if you assume she's Just Like That, are you falling for her facade? or does assuming there's more to her than she lets on make you as gullible as hifumi?

Also on dogposting: the other day I took my older cat to the groomer (fur matting) and when we were picking her up we got to see two perfectly fluffy loving pomeranians rush into the arms of their owner. I almost cried.

Tbhhh I think Erik should join Sabertooth alongside Sorano. Any hcs?

if erik would join hed be sabertooth's mystogan

shows up when the least amount of people are there / when the quiet ones are there

never stays for long. grabs jobs a handful at a time and dips

sorano would try to keep him there for longer and yukino would follow her lead

erik tries very hard to never show up when sorano's there

the only sabertooth member erik would willingly stay by is rogue because nearly everything about him is kinda muted

which contrasts with sorano, whos around almost everyone all the time

erik and sorano would stick together for some tougher quests if they ever had to go on them, but at that point, theyd probably just call in everyone else from their old group. and probably some fairy tail members.

they would both work solo for the most part.

if yukino was going on a bigger quest then no matter what sorano will follow. doesnt take more than 20% of the payment in that case.

erik does his damnedest to not have anyone with him but sometimes sorano or rogue just pop up and help him.

rogue genuinely just finds erik and the shadows sometimes lead him over to him for literally no reason. at that point rogue just kinda wants to chill out but then he learns its for a quest and is like 'eh. if you want some help'

sorano sometimes purposefully follows erik from the guildhall to wherever hes going. sometimes shes in the area (typically like twenty miles from him) and notices a change in her magic and just. follows that oddness over to erik.

sabertooth thinks erik is a cryptid. sorano both plays up that rumour and tries to break it every chance she gets.

erik doesnt care about the rumour and sometimes appreciates it bc if he ever finds a sabertooth member out in the wild, theyll try to get far away from him as fast as they can

sorano, despite yknow repenting for being a criminal or whatever it was she was doing, doesnt live with yukino. shes on the other side of town, if not just the next town over

erik lives. somewhere. no ones willing to say where but sting says hes got residence somewhere so. whatever.

sorano's mark is either light blue or white and its around where gray's is, just on the opposite side

erik's is on the side of his torso. like where your arm would hide it when relaxed. he didnt care what colour it was. he got dark purple.

I'm just bummed about Boston, and I hope he's happy and living a good life and has found a better community 🤧 I can't believe the deal he got in this finale

i havent been in the life is strange fandom since the game came out because it pissed me off but. if there’s one thing i knew was true then and is still true now: it’s that everyone who hates chloe is Wrong forever. pointing and laughing. you have fallen for the facade the character herself and the people around her created and let your unchecked misogyny turn her into a monster in your head. she is literally 19, bro.

Punchline is now a blorbo and I hate literally 99% of every single comic she's been in. God, somebody please help me

This has nothing to do with me personally although I think technically in a sense it does apply to me, but I’m curious about people’s opinions on like. God I know we all hate this but like. Internet creator drama?

Like okay say you have Generic Influencer Figure and they do something mildly questionable but then everyone comes out of the woodwork to be like “I always knew they were a bad person”. It’s like. I feel like people expect that person to then publicly apologize and explain their side. It’s like either they don’t and people get mad because they “ignored the controversy” or they do and people get mad because they “made a fake and shitty apology video”. Also this idea that if you try and explain your side it’s you “deflecting” and “putting the blame on everyone else”. Like you could literally be like “I’m sorry for this thing I did” and people will be like “but they didn’t apologize”. Obviously I need to state: you cannot please EVERYONE but like with how much this happens I guess

1. Do you ever wonder about how you would respond to claims that you’re a terrible person? Like would you defend yourself and run the risk of people saying that you’re making other people look bad and trying to make yourself look good or would you ignore it and run the risk of people saying you’re ignoring it?

2. What do you expect OF creators who this happens to? If hypothetically someone you were a fan of had accusations made against them (I doubt anyone out here has never been a fan of someone who has had accusations against them) what type of response do you want to see from them? Would you prefer they ignore it or would you prefer that they try and explain their side?

3. Do you think people “trying to paint themselves in a good light by explaining their side of things” is wrong or just… human nature? Does it feel weird that people say “you’re just trying to make yourself look good” as an insult when we all do that, as people?

4. Do you have a personal line between what is “petty drama” and “doesn’t involve you as a viewer” and what is enough grounds for you to stop interacting with people?

Obviously if you’re very tired of internet drama as a topic then don’t engage with this but if you have Strong Opinions and No Where To Say Them then I guess hi I’m opening up the floor
