Idc if I seem like a dick for saying this but:

NOT EVERY IMAGE NEEDS AN IMAGE IDENTIFICATION. NOT EVERYONE NEED TO CATER TO YOUR NEEDS.

“why do i see proship stuff on social media ALL THE TIME 😡😡” idk probably because you keep interacting with proship accounts + their posts and algorithms feed you the stuff you interact with?? and you refuse to block people for some reason? just a thought

It’s wild to me that I have seen takes about how Tamlin should have stopped his father and brothers from killing Rhysand’s mother and sister as if he isn’t 14-15 (maybe 16) years old at the time. He is a child, especially for a species that lives forever! His older brothers were willing to kill Tamlin just for expressing an interest in being High Lord and we know his father was something nasty. What young teen is going to be able to go against a group of family, especially ones that have tormented him? He’s out numbered and terrified of them.

Tamlin is incredibly powerful, but I remember something in ACOTAR about him keeping his full abilities on the down-low to avoid provoking his brothers and father. He was so scared of his family that he tried to hide his incredible strength from them. How terrifying would it be to watch your friend’s family be killed at the hands of your own father and brothers and think you can’t do anything or they’ll kill you too. Tamlin doesn’t believe in himself, he thinks he’s nothing more than a killer, and so yeah! Of course this traumatized child would be unable to do anything.

(Plus we don’t even know what happened while Rhysand’s mother and sister were killed. Tamlin very well could have been dragged along or forced to watch.)

i feel like people don't understand that rhysand didn't stop elain and azriel from kissing because he doesn't want them together, but because he knows azriel would easily defeat lucien in the case the autumn court boy invokes the blood duel.

trying to get over my need to clarify myself to everyone who misunderstands me and just let it go

esp with the recent plagiarism stuff some, people just spread the most bad faith interpretation (not sure if on purpose or just actually confused?)of what i was saying and people will ofc read it and believe it

but theres only so many times i can clarify this stuff and my full thoughts are out there if people want to read so i got to let it go atp 😀

dont project a fully realized nuanced opinion onto a 3 sentence meme post

[androgynouscomputerthing]

sorry but i will be bitter

please stop putting headcanons and ship art and such into the canon jiang cheng tag. its genuinely making it difficult to actually find good posts and discussions about his character.

and no, somebody saying that fanon jc is wildly different from canon jc is not being an anti, its just pointing out the obvious

i think that — and according to some people i am going to sound like an anti — the fanon jc stans need to cool it. you’re not “reclaiming the tag” you’re annoying. this tag was made to not disrupt Fanon discussion. it is here to depict and discuss Canon jiang cheng.

recognising that other people don’t hold the same opinion as you is a part of maturing

i feel myself thinking “hey guys maybe don’t be weird to sean about beatles rpf? that’s kinda gross.” and then i think “he did just post the most conservative brain rot fox news woke mob bullshit you’ve ever seen in your life.” so….maybe this is divine retribution actually

I haven’t even watched this yet but I’m posting it here because truly, not enough people are taking this election seriously and it is giving me violent flashbacks to 2016. By all means take your time figuring out how to vote. Make sure you are fully informed. Make sure you fully understand the consequences before you decide. And once you do, I don’t think it will take very long to choose who to vote for.

If you’re already voting and feel like this doesn’t involve you, maybe consider how you can help others understand the importance of this election. Can you talk to someone in your life about it? Can you send postcards or texts? Or call voters? Volunteer or canvass? It’s tempting to sit on the sidelines and think you have no role in what happens here. That it’s simply up in the air and out of your hands. But if there’s one thing we should have learned from 2016, it’s that every single vote counts.

I’ve seen so much discourse about this election and far too much of it discounts the power you - specifically young voters - have to change things. “Voting doesn’t matter” “it didn’t change anything” Statements like these are not only meant to disenfranchise you, they are also blatantly untrue (see below - the two potential futures depending on the outcome of this election are, to understate it, substantially different). I could make a whole other post about the enormous list of things that have changed for the better because we voted in 2020 - and 2021, 2022, and 2023, by the way - but the point is, please don’t silence yourself by not voting because a random person online posted rage bait that told you it’s not cool. Instead, educate yourself about the choice and work toward the democracy you want to live in. Vote.

“You are a misanthrope? YOU MUST HATE ME!! I HATE YOU TOO!!”

Misanthropy: Misanthropy is the general hatred, dislike, or distrust of the human species, human behavior, or human nature. A misanthrope or misanthropist is someone who holds such views or feelings.

I won't hate you if you are not an ass. Most misanthropists won't actually. There is not only one sort of misanthropy, there are multiple. I personally have a dislike and distrust towards humanity.

(Also, what's up with the alterhuman community changing the definition? <- a non-human folk)

hopping up on my special interest soap box to say: i think we as a fandom should discuss the satire in danganronpa V3 more.

idk if it is just me but i have always viewed this game as a satire, if only just because of the ending. it exagerrates the formula set up by the previous games to criticize the current state of media and media consumption. i know a lot of people in the fandom don't like V3, and i think that is by design. it is ridiculous, it is over the top, the ending is a punch to the face, but it's all on purpose. you're supposed to be uncomfortable because it is a satire. (of course you don't have to like the game, i just think it is intentionally like that)

the whole theme of fiction vs reality is put in there intentionally to make fun of the fandomization of danganronpa, as well as to poke at game studios and companies that put out media in general. tsumugi, in my interpretation, is representative of danganronpa fans (hence why she's the ultimate cosplayer). she is the mastermind. you aren't supposed to like her. her insistence on the idea that "fiction doesn't affect reality" is a direct criticism of that exact idea in real life fandom. the idea that this is the "53rd" danganronpa is directly making fun of other pieces of media "jumping the shark" because fans insist upon it. this is not to say you can't like tsumugi, i think you absolutely can, i just think her character represents some key ideas relating to the satire of the game.

this is why everything in the game is SO over the top. kirumi being the prime minister, korekiyo both having DID AND being a serial killer in a reference to the first game, EVERYONE'S over the top backstories (gonta and keebo come to mind), it's all acting as an exaggeration of common tropes (albeit highly problematic in several areas, not trying to excuse those aspects by any means).

and then there's kaede. they set her up as a strong female protagonist, only to kill her chapter 1 to be replaced by a male protag. on paper this is very misogynistic, but in the context of satire it is an exaggeration of the danganronpa formula. of course we couldn't have a female protag in a main line game, of course it would have to be a man. shuichi having a secret ahoge only adds to this; it's making fun of the trope. the best part is that i truly do love both of these characters, and their role in the satire doesn't diminish the excellent writing that went into them and the story.

this entirely shapes how i view this game. it manages to tell an incredibly compelling story with very complex characters while making fun of itself at the same time (as a good satire should). i know a lot of people have said they feel like the writers of v3 must have hated danganronpa, and while i see exactly what they mean i don't think that's necessarily true. i think it was an intentional choice as a work of satire.

i can see an intense love behind the writing of this game. the characters are rich and the story is compelling. the ending just serves to send home the point they wanted to make. i think it adds a really beautiful perspective to the danganronpa series as a whole.

man arcane fandom is insane rn, why did i just read a whole comment thread of someone saying liking caitlyn is morally wrong. liking a morally not great character doesnt determine your morality at all?? supporting their actions maybe but liking them and having discussions reasoning why they do what they do is better than 'bad person end of story'

[darilarostarg]

My hot take is that if Jaehaerys and Alysanne had any sense they would have betrothed Rhaenys to Visery the moment he was born...

[sexysadie23]

A lot of rafe writers lowk don’t write his (fanfic) dialogue TO MATCH THE CHARACTER. This is something I want to work on too.

But Rafe a lot of the time lets his (chaotic) train of thought bake WHILST he’s saying it. Look at his syntax, his speech speed, his filler words. WRITE AS THOUGH HE’S SAYING IT.
