i cannot emphasize enough how racist it is to make a sino-arab family obsessed with white men’s genes. can we all please leave behind the storylines of the al ghuls being obsessed with bruce or tim’s genes.
#red robin 2009 i loathe you#‘but the angst is so good’ it’s repulsive actually. read better comics for better angst. THERE ARE MANY#something there should satisfy you more than woc perpetually being assigned this role in relation to white men#woc or moc so I’m including ra’s in this as well. free him#while we’re at it can we ignore all of red robin 2009 when it comes to ra’s? thanks. please read the demon trilogy

not to wade into discourse about shows online which I swore to stop doing but I think some of you need to recognize that not every piece of media is about you, and that focusing only on the themes that you personally identify with while erasing the ones you don't is Not Great
#some of you only know how to analyze things through a VERY specific queer lens that matches your own personal experiences and it shows#and I just think there is a lot more to enjoying narratives about having a complex relationship to gender in a very specific historical era#than arguing about what specific pronouns and labels they would use in 2023#and that white queer people reducing stories that are about a character's struggle with being multiracial#to *only* the queer elements that we identify with is. not great???#you can't separate these things you can't just ignore them#I'm obviously not equipped to do in-depth *commentary* on that aspect of mizu's character because I am in fact a white queer#that is for other people to speak about and I'm enjoying reading their takes on it#but like. you need to engage with media that is not about you. you need to assign artistic merit beyond what you personally identify with.#you can find things that resonate with you in them but you should not make the whole thing about you

wanna ask how you feel about the eridan bpd headcanon/theory(?? not sure what to call it!) you're so good at your character analysis and i'd love to see your outlook on it
Since I don't have a degree or any formal training in psychology, I feel deeply uncomfortable diagnosing characters. I've made an autism joke before but only because I'm on the spectrum. He's definitely traumatized and anxious, but I mean those as descriptors of his behavior rather than capital-D Diagnoses. I try to focus on those when I can - the cause and effect of cognition, self-image, and behavior - and those factors may very well match up with DSM criteria, but I try not to touch an actual diagnosis with a ten foot pole unless the author has explicitly stated that X character has Y condition.
#there's a variety of reasons for this#part of it is that im GROSSLY unqualified to be handing out diagnoses when it takes a full on PhD to do that in real life#part of it is that psychology is inchoate and we are still very much in murky waters#for example: complex ptsd isn't even IN the DSM yet#and iirc my therapist told me it was because theyre still figuring out how to classify it (attachment disorder? trauma disorder? etc.)#part of it is that (from my limited and undereducated understanding) there are diagnoses that you can assign by completing a checklist...#but some that require a hell of a lot more testing and ruling out other potential causes#and the cluster-b personalities are (IIRC) not even ones you're supposed to diagnose minors with#bc of fears of self fulfilling prophecy and because minors in general are still developing personalities In General#and like the fact that i can't say that with authority speaks to how unqualified i am to do any diagnosing right? hahaha#and part of it is just because like#unless the story is specifically About That and the author has stated so explicitly#i think diagnosing characters tends to put blinders on analysis#like if i were to seriously go 'eridan is autistic' then it would massively bias my reading and understanding of his character#and we have 0 indication that eridan was ever explicitly intended to be autistic or that the author was trying to do an autism specifically#that doesn't mean that the reading is invalid because like thats what death of the author means#all readings are technically valid including stuff the author didn't necessarily intend#but that's just not the way i like to engage with media and not the way i like to approach character analysis#because PERSONALLY it just feels kind of reductive - but also -#i'd wager MOST of us don't have degrees in psychology#so when i say 'X character has Y condition' it might mean something totally different to somebody reading my analysis#even people who have Y condition aren't exempt because a lot of mental illnesses differ from person to person#whereas if i explain “X character has Y thoughts and Z behaviors” there's no ambiguity in that#eridan struggles with noticing that people are suffering and with realizing that he should care#at least part of this is due to his horrific murder-filled upbringing which rendered empathy a detriment & so he learned to ignore it#it could be autism - but it could also be trauma -#or he might just be Like That without actually meeting the diagnostic criteria for autism#& you can't even technically be diagnosed with C-PTSD#or maybe he has a burgeoning personality disorder but you aren't supposed to DX those too early anyway#or maybe hes just 13. see what i mean hahaha. ive reached the 30 tag limit

As a hellenic polytheist I THOUGHT taking a mythology class would be great but instead I have to resist the urge to go "ERM ACTUALLY 🤓☝️" once every 5 minutes at least
#the amount of times I've read something in book we got assigned that gives me a slight ick#there was something in the second chapter about the gods accepting (wanting?) human bloodshed as an offering#and I actively thought “oh that's not....”#(EDIT ignore the last two tags the info I learned ended up being false 💀)#I think this all just stems from the fact I REALLY wanna talk about my religion more#anyways#helpol#school#greek mythology#paranoid radio originals#paranoid radio chronicles

most of the time i think transmasc hcs about male characters who struggle heavily with trying to live up to masculinity are like. blatant refusal to engage with transfemininity in your headcanons i.e jesse pinkman playing up a (racialized) extreme of masculinity and people being like omg so transmasc. that said i do think it is sometimes sooo fun to take a guy whos battling masculinity hard as fuck and acting out in order to live up to that idealized manhood as transmasc because oh my god have you met some trans guys
#basically this is why i read karkat as i do especially given the narratives attempts to feminize him via symbols which he fights against.#and i think he very well fits into this construct of people viewing transmen as incapable of harm. and how everyone ignores how he is very#blatantly horrible in ways that often bleed into misogyny via assigning roles to others to live out his ideals#its clown town

A new contender appears
#see i really like that eichi keito exchange cuz it connects to another one where keito sees himself and kuro as sherlock and watson#so its extra funny eichi is ruining his bf kin assignments. but anyway. ignoring that concerto is peak and everyone needs to read it#what should wataru be in this assignment...

What's so wild about Aemond killing Lucerys and starting the war in earnest is that... if Aemond had just kept his mouth shut, he would have won. Actually scratch that he did win. Lucerys showed up after Aemond had gotten to spend a good while in storm's end as an honored guest. Lucerys arrives and Borros mocks the very idea of a woman ruling, admittedly if Lucerys had offered him a marriage proposal things might have gone differently but still. Lucerys comes in, delivers his message, is soundly rejected and turns to leave. In the battle of diplomats, Aemond won. I was reading that whole section going "take the fucking win, Aemond!"
But nope, he just had to push for a dick measuring contest. Then, all Lucerys has to do is refuse to engage and suddenly Aemond's the fool just stood there with his dick out. Like I get that he was going for this big moment of personal victory but what he actually did in context was give Luke the opportunity to get the high ground back. No wonder he went crazy and had Vhagar eat Luke, it's not right, but it makes a lot of sense from a character perspective.
#text#fire and blood#a fabulous time#lucerys velaryon#idk while I was reading this#I was just like... I totally get why he wants vengeance#but also you're not there for yourself you're supposed to be doing a job for your KING right now brother#also I do think it's funny how lucerys had that great brave line before about their uncles mocking them as strongs#and then he gets to storm's end#and aemond is immediately like “lord strong” and lucerys just ignores him#makes you wonder if that line was something assigned to him posthumously#since he died with his dragon and all#but if we're taking both of those lines as true#then it's just supremely hilarious#like pick a new line aemond they're immune to that one#I just... idk#totally understand why he as a person wants an eye#just like... look around and recognize the situation you're in man

does anyone want to see my s4m dialtown au you dont get a choice youre seeing it anyway
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/16b5ca402a3bb03f3ad4193cbe1a411f/fe9cb2521d8f6b4c-c5/s540x810/1fb9b3efcd1b023ee97fc920344bf00764b7847d.jpg)
you just simply have to hear me out on all of this ESPECIALLY mingus tango and norm’s assignments trust me i have divine visions and they told me this is the best possible assignments for all of them. my thought for the general au is that instead of taking place in the habitat or some kind of compound, the Entire Town is hopped up on laughing gas (can’t vote against the mayor if you’re too loopy to notice how corrupt she is!)
also mingus would still have a puppet and use those for her “campaign ads” (think about a mixture between the psas from s4m and like a legit campaign ad. something kinda goofy and also vaguely threatening because that’s mingus). the reason she needs the entire town to be “happy” is so no one notices the VERY questionable lengths she’s going to get back her pawpaw’s memory. oh and the big event would be her doing brain surgery on people in an attempt to hone her skills enough to operate on callum herself lol!
i have more thoughts about this au so feel free to ask me about it. i love smile for me i love dialtown i love the combination smile for me dialtown
#ignorance cloud on#dialtown#dial for me#<- name of the au. i was also toying around w smile for mingus but dial for me is kind of perfect#ive been thinking abt this more the past couple days so i needed to share my thoughts#i have so many more tho its just kind of hard to condense into a coherent post#u can ask me abt stuff tho! i have reasonings for most of my assignments. some of it was just soul reads ill be real

#conversation i over hears today:#'I hate it when she tells me to read the book. You're the fucking professor. What do you mean read the book?'#why are you in college??#legitimately??#now maybe this was some weird instance where the professor really wasn't answering legitimate questions#but most of the time conversations like this are coming from students who ignore the reading and homework#and then expect the professor to spell everything out for them#instead of taking the initiative to actually do the work and learn#if you are not doing your reading. if you are not working to understand it.#if you are just showing up and expecting it to be explained to you without demonstrating that you are working to understand#by actually doing the work assigned#then you do not belong in a college classroom#the amount of handholding we do for college students these days is absurd#the readings and work assigned are part of the learning process#you are responsible for completing them#teachers do not (or at least should not) assign reading and then regurgitate it back to you in a lecture#that's not how college should work#if you can't be bothered to open a book that's on you#i am so very very tired#anyway#professor problems#personal#*overheard#what the hell happened to that first tag?? 🤦♀️😂

love the cynonari collei family but i have huuuuge beef w how cynonari fans portray collei. She Would Not Say That
#assign this strange naivety to her. girl she has killed two people#i have sooo many thoughts on the way that cyno & tighnari give collei a space to experience her childhood when it was previously denied from#her & i think her relationship to both of them is rlly important. the game givingm collei a spacd to heal from her trauma surrounded by#people who support her unconditionally is the best aspect of collei's in-game narrative#some cynonari fans ignore all the aspects of her character that forms her relationship w cyno & tighnari - her trauma & experiences#her eleazar the archon residue and portray her solely as. cynonari child. & she's always presented as naive and much more childish than she#actually is. its sooo irritating she is not like that at all & its kinda clear that they don't care abt collei as a character only as a prop#for cynonari 😭😭😭 anyway its frustrating#also i wonder how much of it is shaped by the fact that she canonically struggles w literacy. & has visible symptoms of trauma. & has traits#that can be read as neurodivergent. anway

Seeing people who complain about being forced to read 1984 in highschool because its too dark is hilarious as someone who read umprompted 1984 at eleven
#i was in vacation i was bored i also thought that because i had an higher reading capacity that wouldve been in the same range of that#assigned to me. also my brother said it was classic literature so my ass COULVE NOT ignored it#anyways the torture scene is probably one of the reasons why i still consume gore fi-//HEADSHOT
