I love to see Lucifer in a bad light. Not just because it's interesting but also because his usual imagine by fandom is this overly saccharin "he's sad and cute and awkward little guy who did nothing wrong, he just a little lamb" thing that makes me sick and I'm tired of it. And because people forget who is a human soul and who's the eldtrich being older than humanity.
AGREED! ESPECIALLY ABOUT THAT LAST BIT!
Sometimes, Lucifer just feels to humanized T.T like...that moment when Alastor feels more like a powerful eldritch being than Lucifer, I just?????? How????? Why????? When???
I've seen the headcanon where Alastor doesn't need to sleep, which is fun to think about, but when its paired with Lucifer being the one who needs sleep I just...it loses me...Alastor is just a Sinner. He's a Sinner with a bit more power than other Sinners. He's a Sinner part of the big bad Overlord club.
Sure, he may be more powerful than a common Hellborn, but compared to the Goetia and the royal family? He doesn't even hold up a candle. And he knows that. Lucifer knows that--which is another reason why he would not be intimidated by Alastor's power at all.
I love it when Lucifer is a jerk. I enjoy watching/reading him the most when he's being a jerk. He deserves to be in the bad light on occasion. Guy is flawed as fuck.

You know what's interesting to me? For all people keep claiming at every juncture that perhaps Bells Hells will come around on the gods and see the harm they do (which, as discussed extensively, is, half the time, simply not intervening) not only have they never done so, but also they never quite cross the line into saying the party should join the Ruby Vanguard or aid them - and indeed, they defend against it - so what does this achieve? It feels like they're asking for a story in which the party stands idly by, which isn't much of a story nor, if I may connect this briefly to the real world, a political stance anyone should be proud of.
That's honestly the frustration with the gods and the "what if the Vanguard has a point" conversations in-game. What do we do then? Do we allow the organization that will murder anyone for pretty much any reason that loosely ties into their goals run rampant? The group that (perhaps unwittingly, but then again, Otohan's blades had that poison) disrupted magic world-wide, and caused people who had the misfortune to live at nexus points to be teleported (most, as commoners, without means of return). While also fomenting worldwide unrest?
Those were the arguments before the trip to Ruidus; with the reveal of the Vanguard's goals to invade Exandria, the situation becomes even more dire. Do you let the Imperium take over the planet?
And do the arguments against the gods even hold up? If Ludinus is so angry at them for the Calamity, what does it say that he destroyed Western Wildemount's first post-Calamity society for entirely selfish means? (What does it say about the validity of vengeance as a motivator?) What does it say that Laudna told Imogen she could always just live in a cottage quietly without issue before the solstice even happened? (Would this still be true if the Imperium controls the world?) What does it say that when faced with a furious, grieving party and the daughter she keeps telling herself was her reason for all of this, Liliana can't provide an answer to the question of what the gods have done other than that their followers will retaliate...for, you know, the Vanguard's endless list of murders. (That is how the Vanguard and Imperium tend to think, huh? "How dare your face get in the way of my boot; how dare you hit me back when I strike you.") She can't even provide a positive answer - why is Predathos better - other than "I feel it", even though Imogen and Fearne know firsthand that Predathos can provide artificial feelings of elation. Given all the harm Ludinus has done in pursuit, why isn't the conclusion "the gods should have crashed Aeor in such a way that the tech was unrecoverable?"
Even as early as the first real discussion on what the party should do, the fandom always stopped short of saying "no, Imogen's right, they should join up with the people who killed half the party," it was always "no, she didn't really mean it, she just was trying to connect with her mother." Well, she's connected with her mother, and at this point the party doesn't even care about the gods particularly (their only divinely-connected party member having died to prevent the Vanguard from killing all of them). So they will stop the Vanguard; as Ashton says, the means are unforgiveable. As Laudna says, it's not safe to bet on Predathos's apathy. As Imogen says, she's done running; the voice that she used to think of as a lifeline belongs to someone she doesn't trust. So I guess my question is: if they're stopping the people who are trying to kill the gods (and defense of the gods isn't remotely their personal motivation)...do you think the next phase of the campaign is Bells Hells personally killing the gods? Reconstructing the Aeor tech and hoping none of their allies notice? How does this end? Does your ideology ever get enacted? Or is this entirely moot and pointless and the story ends with Bells Hells saying "well, I'm really glad we stopped the people who [insert list of Vanguard atrocities from above]; none of us follow the gods or plan to, but honestly, the status quo we return to is preferable to whatever nightmare Ludinus had concocted in his violent quest for power and revenge"?
#i've got a lot to do today so I think I'm done posting but#cr spoilers#i called that this particular cohort of fans had empathy only for those like them and were terrified of player agency like. 18 mos ago#and i have never been proven wrong. zero analysis just a constant demand that everyone coddle their feelings and confirm their biases#literally will straight up fabricate lore and cry you're disrespecting a pretend person for not including it in your considerations#absolutely SHIT understanding of actual lore. utter incapacity to follow a logical throughline to its conclusion#it's like. wow. wonder why you're so focused on hypocrisy and you overreact to the word selfish#the reason they hate or fear orym (they say they don't...but that just means they want him to go to a reeducation camp instead of die)#is bc i think they are truly terrified of the idea that people can not just hold opinions that are against theirs but stand fast by them#easier to stan the villain because then they die and you can feel wronged and betrayed and wallow in a sense of continual victimhood#than to like a character who might last long enough to call you the idiot and asshole that you are#but it's also funny bc literally if orym weren't there in the latest convo the conclusion is the same.#ashton's had the same opinion of the vanguard the whole time (and it's not positive) but that's not under scrutiny#probably bc it doesn't allow people to be ghoulish in the most cringeworthy way possible

"women need to be meaner! Men shouldn't dictate a girls boundaries"
You couldn't handle Connie Maheswaran setting healthy (and much-needed) boundaries with her best friend. You freaking called her toxic and abusive. While season 3 of Amphibia is a hot mess Sasha Waybright being upset with Marcy isn't the problem! It makes sense she'd be pissed that she found out her friend borderline kidnapped her! Even if she can be read as kind of hypocritical, I think she has every reason to be upset! She's like what 14 at the oldest? In a terrifying situation?
It's always "set healthy boundaries" until they set boundaries with your favorite baby and don't spend 100% of their time supporting them/don't forgive their friends for their actions that hurt others
I'm sorry that Steven is your woobie child and Marcy is your comfort character but Connie and Sasha have a right to their feelings and a right to focus on their needs! It's always 'don't feel guilty about focusing on your needs' except not really because apparently focusing on yourself is actually selfish and it's morally wrong to feel certain ways about people! Connie isn't toxic- she acted really mature about the whole situation and while Sasha definitely is toxic- I think she has the right to be mad her friend borderline kidnapped her and broke her trust.
I am a firm believer in setting healthy boundaries and never letting anyone decide your boundaries for you especially when it comes to being supportive. Even if the person you are helping is a good person going through a rough patch you should still have boundaries with them- you can be supportive if you want but you should be your main priority in the need and as callous as it sounds it's not mandatory to give support to everyone especially if your being worn thin
#steven universe#connie maheswaran#amphibia#sasha waybright#I have my issues with both of these shows but these takes are cold#“Everyone has a right to feel upset or angry even if its over something dumb or hypocritical or something they've done to themselves”#And then y'all got mad at sasha#“we need to teach kids to have healthy boundaries”#You called a 12 year old toxic for needing a break from a stressful friendship#apparently Connie has to manage her future boyfriend's emotional state to be a good person#apparently sasha can't be mad she got kidnapped because she was emotionally abusive and 'brought it on herself' with her toxicity#-she's a freaking middle schooler with a bad homelife- how the hell does that translate to her deserving this shit?#don't get me started on the atla fandom#Zuko has to drop everything in his life to help his little sister even though he's not equipped for that shit at all and she tried to-#-murder him#Whether or not you think Azula should be redeemed- Zuko should not have to be her therapist- he's her brother she traumatized him and she -#needs actual help with like a therapist- not a perfectly forgiving older brother that will put up with her bullshit endlessly#but I wanted to focus on how people tend to be pissed at girls for having boundaries and not being cool team moms/sisters with everyone#god forbid women want space#heck i get mad at Yang from RWBY a lot but her not always being there for Ruby is a dumb complaint#'she ditched RWBY on her first day and didn't reply I love you back after Ruby woke up from a coma! what a bad big sister!'#NVM that yang and ruby could've ended up on separate teams and she can't coddle her forever/has friends and hobbies outside of being her-#-sister#never mind yang was still dealing with intense amounts of trauma#like a lot of RWDE takes actually hold some water but this one is so stupid#RWBY#Anti-RWDE I guess even though I think some people would count me as a RWDE#yang xiao long#ruby rose rwby#i swear to god

ultimately the thing about the, "how dare the rest of Bells Hells debate whether to save the gods or not when Orym's family was killed by the people trying to kill the gods" take is that a personal tragedy is not a determinative argument, especially wrt an issue this fundamentally world-altering. its completely understandable that Orym finds the deaths of Will and Derrig inextricable from this topic. what's being demanded of him emotionally is enormous. but nothing about being in opposition to the gods requires that someone take the actions Ludinus and the Ruby Vanguard have taken, and they are far from the sole representatives of this ideology. and Will and Derrig's actual feelings regarding the gods had very little to do with their deaths.
(and, really: if the deaths of Orym's family makes questioning the gods' place unconscionable, than what does Aeor make of supporting them?)
beyond that: the discomfort of a single individual does not disallow a topic from discussion. it's an indication to tread lightly, with care and patience for that individual. but it is not grounds to consider a conversation as vast and complex as this one decided. especially given that Orym is far from the only member of the Hells who has intense emotions and traumas tied up in this; Orym's feelings should not take precedent over, for example, the negative experiences Ashton and Laudna have had with gods and their followers.
but also, like, even if you truly believe that anyone being ambivalent or antagonistic towards the gods in this situation is self-centered and wrong, unconditional support is simply not where the Hells are at. and if they don't talk about it now, they're gonna have to talk about it later, when they're being asked to put their hand on the scale and there's mere moments left to act.
#critical role#cr3#posting this now so i don't rewrite it entirely again hey#bells hells#crposting#anyways this talking point has been rearing its ugly head again. died down for a while there#and after watching ashton and laudna's completely understandable and highly emotional reasons for distrusting the gods#get diminished and invalidated and turned into their own fault at the same time as people were. dare i say. coddling Orym. well#(ultimately i think this is as much about how insistent a lot of fans are that unconditional support of the gods is the Only Good Take)#(as it is any particular bias towards Orym. although I think Orym's normativity is absolutely germane with that perspective)#(there's probably some dead body calculus you could do to justify Aeor and condemn the attack on Zephrah. if you wanted to miss the point)#conversely this is not saying ashton and laudna's feelings on the topic should take precedence over oryms.#the implication of the “it's mean to be against the gods in front of orym” take is that their feelings should not be shared at all!#or else they're being bad friends to him. hope this helps

Ok but could Mine ever actually bring him to hit his beloved Daigo? Kill him, sure, but hit?
see that's a hard question to ask not because i doubt that mine could hit daigo if he's willing to kill him while he's in a coma, but it's the fact both mine and daigo are considerably really diplomatic men who would just talk out whatever grievances they have with each other and so it's hard for me to imagine any situation where they're kicking the shit out of each other
#snap chats#like mine doesn't like to sully his hands unless it's necessary and daigo doesn't exactly favor beating his boys#never mind mine so like. if they're fighting because they're mad at each other i don't think fists are even swinging#BUT reasons aside and they're just fighting Yes#i feel like mine would think he's insulting daigo if he tries to coddle him and think he's not capable of taking a punch#i mean mine babe i think he'd get a fuckin ruptured organ from getting a punch from you but anyone would tbh#by this ramble it sounds like i shouldve put down 'its a tie' for that poll but LISTEN#of COURSE they wouldnt fist fight each other for no reason ok we want the data on IF THEY DID who's clearing

Which aspects of Katsuki's personality are his honne and which are his tatemae? And which traits overlap? Could you elaborate on that?
In my opinion, almost all the things he does are both, but they are also...not. This is kinda what makes it fun, I think.
Maybe somewhere between DvK 1 and the remediation arc, I'm fairly certain his crappiest pettiness has all been absolutely truthful and honest, but the exaggerated application of it to create a specific impression has been a ploy. I'm pretty sure that it's mentioned explicitly that Katsuki likes people to assume he's dumb and brash before doing something clever so he gets them off guard, and this is kind of like that. It's better for him if others think they know his motive and are framing it as totally petty and selfish. It's not untrue, but it's not the whole truth.
Katsuki also prefers to get his point across in as few words as possible, so if you don't catch a second implication or a ham-fisted double-meaning ("I" and "we" can be ambiguous, so any statements by the end of the manga that are, like, "I'm gonna help Deku!" OR "We [as in all of 1-A, of which Bakugo is now comfortable identifying as a part of]'re gonna help Deku!" are both true at the same time), the message probably wasn't meant for you in the first place.
The most consistent trait I'd say Katsuki always has is sensitivity. He's an extremely sensitive little git, so the biggest shows of his true, unfiltered self always get me because it's when his cup runneth over so much that he can’t put any kind of spin on it: His eyes while captured by the sludge villain (upon reflection, this might be the single most important panel of the manga, actually), him totally failing to grapple with and communicate his feelings to Izuku at the end of chapter 1 (this is a bad example - instead of saying thank you or crying like a little twerp, he totally tried to front it like he didn't need Deku's help, which was about as see-through as a piece of cellophane. Idiot. Still a great moment, though), crying outside the school after DvK1 ("I'll beat you all!" Sure, kid), the moment he hits Izuku in the face during their exam against All Might (there's no freaky smile in this moment - he just freezes and hits him in unbridled anger), the end of the Sports Festival when Todoroki is knocked out - he grabs Todoroki's shirt and is about to have a breakdown (did you know this is my second-favorite moment? Did you know that the US fandom's assumptions about Katsuki's motives in this moment made me want to start beating them to death with my bare hands? Did you know I walked away from this series after that because I couldn't stand how little emotional intelligence people have in the US? Were it not for the laws of this land, I would have killed you, western BNHA fandom), DvK2...
Katsuki's emotions are big. They are probably bigger than he is, honestly. Deku's are, too, and so are several other characters, but that doesn't negate my statement.
I'm of the opinion that Katsuki throughout most of the manga, though not so much after these most recent (404 and up) chapters, is actually quite shy about anything that isn't kicking someone's ass or showing off an ability he knows he can perform well. So, sure, he can perform when ass-kicking just fine, but during interviews or simple conversations with his classmates, he clams up and/or just acts like a total bullshitter delinquent as a cover. He's a sensitive little baby and needed to be treated as such just as much as he needed to be told he could be a little shit sometimes and get his ass beat into the dirt! Both were required!
#bakugo katsuki#ask#people who say they don't like how the narrative coddles him never wanted him to do better in the first place#air quotes on coddles#because sometimes that is actually the thing that has to be done#sorry! you have to love the difficult person sometimes#sorry! Izuku loves him!#sorry! katsuki does not actually have all the power in their dynamic#in fact he does not have the power in any dynamic most of the time!#not sorry! I also fucking love him!

@anonymous-tals requested headcanons about the Bluth siblings as kids, so here's some of that! It gets long, so I'm putting most of it under the cut.
They had family game nights. George started mandating them so he could get photos and publicize them as a happy family but the kids actually got really into it and kept playing board games together even once their parents ducked out.
Lindsay was George’s little princess, especially as a preteen and teenager. He wasn’t always the best at showing it in ways other than buying her things, but he loved that girl so much.
Oscar came by for every single one of Buster’s birthdays, and he brought little presents. He wasn’t nearly as good at remembering the other kids, but nobody read too deep into it. Blatant favoritism is normal in this family.
Speaking of birthdays, Michael and Lindsay always got the best birthday parties because they had to share. Also because they were George’s favorites, but the sharing was the excuse everyone actually said out loud.
GOB’s birthdays tended to go forgotten or ignored by his parents, but Buster has never once forgotten him, Lindsay was usually pretty good about at least being around and wishing him a good one, and Michael would organize little celebrations if Buster bugged him about it. Which he always did, and which Michael always got to feel like a hero for.
I’m not getting into the whole “who pushed Mimi down the stairs” thing cause I know what canon was going for but I also just don’t think Buster would do that. However I DO think the whole “I’m just a boy so nothing will happen to me” was VERY ingrained in him from very early on cause when he was actually little Lucille couldn’t bring herself to ever be upset with him. She could mistreat him, sure, but always out of some twisted form of protective love.
Because of this, Buster took the blame for a lot of shit his siblings fucked up. Lucille usually didn’t believe he did it, and it usually got shifted to GOB, but Michael and Lindsay at least got a few freebies by saying Buster did it and getting him to corroborate.
GOB had frequent hyperfixations and the bees and magic special interests have been on and off since he was pretty young. Buster never found him annoying. Michael did but was good at more or less hiding it for the sake of being a good brother. Lindsay would tell him to shut up.
Buster also had frequent hyperfixations but his were on things like medieval farming and ancient Mesopotamia and learning a new language and other Scholarly Pursuits so he wasn’t treated like he was annoying, he was treated like he was a very intelligent young man with a bright future in academia. Or a loser and a nerd, depending on who you’re talking to.
One time, and I mean literally ONE TIME, Lindsay asked George if he had a favorite child and he sarcastically said “Of course I do. It’s GOB.” assuming everyone would get that he was dodging the question by answering a kid who was most definitely not his favorite. GOB didn’t get that he was being sarcastic and was the happiest boy alive for about twelve seconds before both of his parents started laughing so hard they cried.
I need to stop being mean to GOB. Here’s something nice for him: he was surprisingly popular in school, and even though he never made any real friends he could usually get strangers to high five him in the halls. People chanted his name at lunch sometimes if he stood on a table to do his illusions. He got bad grades but people thought that was badass.
Buster would have full blown panic attacks at any grade lower than an A. Even an A minus would have him crying on the floor. This is projection but it’s also true.
Lindsay was homecoming court every year of high school and prom queen her senior year. GOB was prom king. Micheal and Buster were never anything like that.
Buster has always been GOB's biggest fan and would beg him to do illusions or tell bee stories or just be himself but with an audience of one. GOB pretended to think his little brother was lame but he secretly loved the attention and they still have that special bookend sibling bond. GOB was (and still kinda is) Buster's hero and Buster was (and still kinda is) GOB's baby brother. The fondness in the phrase "baby brother" is hard to explain to people who don't have a sibling with a 6+ year age gap but trust me, if anything happened to Buster in their childhood, GOB would be immediately up in arms.
I have a lot more thoughts, actually, but this is getting super long so I’ll stop here for now!
#arrested development#arrested development headcanons#i don't want to seem biased in tags so i'll just do them in 'age order'#gob bluth#lindsay bluth#michael bluth#buster bluth#busterposting#i don't say enough about the parents to justify tagging them#answered#anonymous-tals#i also might have to make a separate post now about Buster and how fucking stunted his psychological development was#cause there is so much to say there. he didn't talk until he was 5. he was nursing at 8. he was insanely coddled and it fucked him up#anyway!! i may post more childhood headcanons if this gets enough attention idk. i like thinking about them as kids and teens#it allows so much room for fun silly family bonding and so much room for 'oh god oh fuck nothing has ever been okay'#calvin talks#long post

...do you have any xilitol nova cookie headcanons???
buddy this is super broad. you bet your ass i do, but it's difficult to just spit one out without something to like. elaborate on
though i can say that i do think about his species a lot? i don't see them as true cookies, they just use that terminology around astronaut for convenience. They're more like candy that anything, since they live much longer, and are a lot more resilient than cookies [plus, them being cookies never made sense to me. space cookies in general are odd]
Each of them carries a little fragment of the original star in their bodies, cementing them as part of Planet Xylitol, with Nova himself having an especially large concentration. Most can go their whole lives without noticing, but such a thing grants all sorts of stuff for Nova. he glows, has a greater drive for truth, advancement, and compassion, is generally more powerful, ETC. Plus the people naturally adore him because, like most fragments of things, they're subconsciously drawn together. Very social species. Nova just gets an odd end to this where most people are automatically inclined to trust him, but more as a local superhero than a person.
which unfortunately means most of his friendships are shallow. and he does get lonely. Astronaut Cookie was a godsend since she doesn't apply to the rules of his species, and wanted to get to know him for him- a genuine desire, rather than one out of instinct alone. had they been given more time on Planet Xylitol, they really would've been good friends
#i don't subscribe to astronova#esp in my takes#since i see astronaut as a young adult vs. nova being pretty old altogether#[the species lives a long time. only a few generations of them even exist. 5 max]#[nova is first generation#but only rose to power around the time the second came around due to even him needing to figure out his natural power]#i more see them as family than anything#with nova wanting to be like a father figure#he asks how the hell earthbread could send someone that young (~20 yo) on a mission like this and wants to just coddle her#he doesnt. he respects her too much for that#but he thinks about it#cookie run ovenbreak#cookie run#xylitol nova cookie#ask

not to sound too much like people that say "all the steven universe characters hate people who read killing/stalking" or "sonic the hedgehog supports decriminalizing sex work" or "twilight sparkle would be ashamed of you for being racist" but it is certainly something that orym's character revolves so much around the women in his life and how they affected him and how much he loves them and how deeply he respects his female friends, but half of his fans are so hostile and misogynist towards imogen, laudna and/or fearne to the point where his detractors are convinced he's a chauvinist bully and think he actively hates all of them.
#����#orym of the air ashari#i say this as someone who has seen both 'sides' of the orym vs imogen kerfuffle and it's giving bowlgate#it's either 'imogen is perfect and orym is abusive and controlling' or 'orym is perfect and imogen is abusive and controlling'#or people who want to murder both of them which is shockingly common. mostly laudmoore shippers who hate both imodna and ashrym#anyways characters can have flaws. they are a feature not a bug and pointing them out is not bashing them nor coddling them#hate seeing posts where people allow him moral grayness and all the comments are basically:#'YES HE'S EVIL AND HE SHOULD DIE PEOPLE ONLY LIKE HIM BECAUSE THEY WANNA BANG LIAM'#okay those are my last words on this don't ask me about it again#'i don't care about character discourse it's too stupid for me to take seriously' i say as i do this#but like. it is stupid. it is painfully stupid.#remember when fcg had a mental breakdown and everyone started seeing them as nothing more than a time bomb until FRIDA came along? yeah

Getting dry socket is kind of permanently altering how I view my chronic pain. There's so many people saying it's the worst thing they've ever felt, getting radiating pain in their ear and headaches every day. Soreness, stiffness, etc. That's what I'm getting, but it's just... not as terrible to me compared to what I deal with daily as it sounds like it is for people without chronic pain?
I already deal with headaches and migraines almost constantly. Radiating, sharp pains in random bursts around my body are normal for me. Being in so much pain I can't sleep is my baseline many nights.
And I hold myself to the same standards as these people, who are basically bedridden because of the intense nerve pains and headaches? I expect myself to act like they do on their non-pain days, get work done like they do on their NORMALLY pain-free days?
What the fuck?
#i worry i complain too much but. maybe i honestly don't hobble around and ask for help from people around me enough.#my husband? yes all the time. i let myself be coddled by him. but literally everyone else?#absolutely not. i don't want to be seen as worse off or incapable#i don't FEEL incapable#but#it hurts#is there only so long i'm allowed to be honest about that?#my text posts#chronic illness#chronic pain

Now what do cheren's pokemon think of him and how do they treat/address him :)
I have the draft of Unvoan Clownerism halloween chapter sitting and rotting in my google docs, and it had a part where Stoutland and Cincci referred to Cheren as Cheri, but since the lore has changed + the way he received them is different..
Also you didn't specify which team, so I'm going with Cheren Slater's BW2 team. :)c
Cinccino - Cincci was babied/doted on by both Hilbert and Cheren when she joined the team, but after she evolves and is left behind by Hilbert as he flies off on Reshiram, she starts to take more of a babysitter role towards Cheren! Always riding on his shoulder or following after him, being carried by him if it helps with his anxiety, attacking others on his behalf when they make him uncomfortable.. she continues being protective even after Hilbert returns. Since Hilbert affectionately called him Cheri, so does she!
Stoutland - as a little Lillipup in Floccesy, he used to refer to him as "Mister Cheren" in his head, up until he joins Cheren to help him in his gym leader training- then he only calls him by name. Stoutland has a lot of respect for Cheren due to his resilience and endurance of all that has happened to him, even if he's only heard of it from Cinccino and Liepard. He's incredibly loyal to Cheren, and willing to do anything he asks, as he's never seen him smile genuinely before ever since he met him. :(
Watchog - Lenora's Watchog, so he refers to Cheren formally as "Challenger Slater" before switching to "Gym Leader Slater"- though he also calls him young man at first, up until Liepard and Cinccino are both like "mmm yeah that's not right either gramps!". Watchog is very strict, but even he knows what Cheren went through in BW is understandably traumatic, and he needs a lot of help in finding his footing. Though he may appear standoffish as he doesn't dote on him like the others, he's incredibly protective, and is always the first to react when he feels Beheeyem's presence in the vicinity.
Liepard - his Liepard from his BW team, he brings her with him as a gym leader to soothe Grimsley's nerves. She used to be quite nervous and eager to please, sensitive to his change in moods and worried over how he wanted to become champion back then because he wanted a purpose, he wanted his family's love, etc. More confident and experienced as a Liepard, she and Cinccino hold the team together, and can act without being told to, though Watchog scolds them sometimes for their perceived recklessness. Like Stoutland, she used to call Cheren "Mister Cheren", until she becomes close enough with him to start calling him by only his name!
Gorebyss - she was actually caught all the way from Hoenn by Noland; he caught a pair of Clamperl upon Grimsley's request, who really, really wanted Cheren to have a Clamperl for his birthday. He thought it was just Grimsley wanting to dote on Cheren even more after he formally met him <- he does not know what's going on Anyway, she's a little bit of an oddball at first; like Cinccino, she's willing to attack those she considers a threat to Cheren's safety, but unlike her or even Watchog, she doesn't filter out who is friend or foe- which means she's the first of his Pokemon to immediately sense something is off with Nikolai back when they all trusted him, Watchog included. She's almost stoic and unpredictable, though the other Pokemon chuck it up to her spending most of her life in the deep sea, and traveling is all too new for her. She refers to Cheren as "master"!
Bunny - the first in his team to ever have a nickname! Bunny was timid and unconfident, but after traveling with Cheren's team and being encouraged by him and their friends, she evolves into a Lopunny in the Giant Chasm; after she witnesses him using his body to shield Nate from Kyurem's attack. As a Lopunny, she joins the rest of the girls of Cheren's team in being incredibly protective of him, though she spends the first few days post-BW2 not eating or being difficult for others, except for the Aspertia trio. She's shaken by what has happened to him and is horrified to find out he's went through this twice, and might die if the others' efforts to recover the relics fail. Though she doesn't necessarily lash out at others, she's in grief up until Calem comes in the picture and teaches both Nate and Hilbert how to help her through it, as well as bring up her potential in Mega Evolution.. She was the team baby for awhile, and she's still bubbly as ever after she evolves and is reassured of Cheren's safety. She's always by his side, carrying his things, helping him out with everyday tasks and chores, etc. She somewhat becomes his ace Pokemon post-BW2! She used to refer to him as "master Cheren", but starts not only calling him Cheri like Cinccino, but by different other nicknames! (Cheri Berry, Cheri Bunny, Cheery, etc.)
#Ask#Pokemon#BW/BW2 Rewrite - Blur / Blight#((THANK YOU FOR THE ASK I also love Cheren's team. His BW2 team is so.. <3333))#((They're there for him. They KNOW he's going to break any second. But they don't want to coddle him or rob him of choice either.))#((So they do everything in their power to make sure he's okay.))#((Watchog is really cute! He's strict with all of them but he's like a grandfather with unruly children.))#((BUNNY IS SO SO CUTE she becomes Just A Person after she evolves. Accompanying Nate to the hospital when they visit Cheren.))#((She is carrying the gifts and the everything.))

Grim is a giant creep and I desperately wish he was written better, but at least he made the decision himself to tell Isla that he had altered her memories.
By no means does it excuse how he handled the situation otherwise—he still took her memories without her knowledge and then pursued intimacy with her under false pretenses—but I can respect that he confessed of his own volition instead of letting her hear it from someone else. It's his one moment of actual character growth that I would love to see in the hands of a more capable author.
#fwiw i don't delude myself into thinking i'm that Better Author TM but i'm definitely gonna play with it#i want grim to be a person#he fucked up so badly and he's deeply selfish and needs a lesson in treating other people like human beings#and i want to explore the fact that he also deserves to be treated like a human being#but the people he hurt (especially isla) do not have to forgive him and should not be expected to coddle him#oh and i'm also very aware that i'm viewing this through the 'fan interpretation of grim with likeable qualities' lens#that bias is definitely present because i've spent too much time letting these characters marinate in my head#grim

not carats on weverse posting the "correct" translation where the hell did they even get that lol
#it's basically him saying tht doesn't matter if you're skinny or fat you should love yourself#but that doesn't take away from the rest of the things he said like dudes you can support him but call him out still#telling to people to not eat it's simply fucked up even his his intentions weren't malicious#carats say they love sv.t and yet they simply refuse to call them out when they do shit wrong and let them learn and grow#fuck dude no one is perfect and we've all learned to let go of our hurtful views. or are trying to do that#society teaches us to think in a certain way and unlearning that is hard as fuck and we're all trying#so coddling these grown ass men is not gonna help them at the end of the day#say he didn't mean it sure whatever. the way he said it was still fucked up and so harmful#fucking hate the if you actually loved your faves you wouldn't call them out mentality#screw that i constantly call out my loved ones on the shit they say and they do the same to me#because i want them to grow i want us to be the best versions of ourselfes that we can be#so of course i want that for my faves too and i will call out their shitty behaviour and hold them accountable#you actually love this dude? help him fucking grow and don't treat him like a fucking child#fatphobia tw#b.txt

this fic also has the thing where wwx loyally defends jc's parenting to people who are criticizing jin ling. I already made a post about this but it's still funny knowing that wwx canonically is mad that jc is raising jin ling to be so similar to him, and he openly criticizes a ton of jc's personal traits and also just doesn't respect him very much as a leader
#people want twin heros sooo badly but wwx's loyalty was to his home and family and caretakers not jc as a leader#he had to coddle him so constantly I don't think that inspired much trust#iirc the exact line was like 'this kid is too much like his uncle I have GOT to intervene'#it's a cute idea and I know why people like it but it's just too ooc for me#ficblogging
