Genuinely think if Cas chose to ever take a seat slightly further from Dean than he could when there was a closer option, Dean would stare at him, raise his eyebrows, mutter things under his breath, do a full silent conversation where he expresses his feelings of betrayal while staring right at Cas and Cas would tilt his head, cross his arms, uncross his arms, roll his eyes and then move with a sigh and then Dean would finally pick up where he left off on describing the circumstances of their latest hunt.

mfs in this fandom will recognize that every origin character’s storyline has to do with being manipulated/betrayed and abused

Lae’zel and Vlaakith

Shadowheart and Shar

Astarion and Cazador

Karlach and Gortash then Zariel

Wyll and Mizora

but when it’s Gale people will say he was in a totally cool normal relationship and “fumbled a goddess with his hubris”

like… what’s more likely?

1.) the writers of this well-written lore-heavy story-driven game decided to abandon the common theme for just one of their main origin characters

OR

2.) you’re media illiterate and still have a weird hatred for a character cuz he’s autistic and was bugged in EA 🤨

anyway on a completely unrelated note (not) wrt prev post and while im on that ajax fanon hater rant energy still.

(Seriously youve been warned. im getting heated)

Just. Im sorry Where the FUCK did the idea that childes constellation has ever "changed" as in. confirmed canon 100% happened. thing. and not just as like. A Normal speculation theory thing whatever like thats not the problem (as much as i dont care for it). but as this Wildly popular widely accepted headcanon for essentially the larger "abyss and trauma whale corrupted and brainwashed my kitten baby pookiemeow and stole his true good celestia approved fate from him at 14" crew whose only "canon" source to my knowledge is basically entirely based on a misreading* of one of his boss drops. fucking come from and why is 4 out of 5 ""theories"" i see about ajax acting like its literally the gospel now and actually hes being torn apart in an inner struggle of trauma and identity between GOOD fate and GOOD destiny when his vision works and BAD fate and BAD destiny when it doesnt because defying celestia and the gods is evil and this does not clash with the themes of gnosticism at all and breaking the shackles of demiurges false divinity and their unjust hold upon humanity is actually just a red herring trust me bro youre not Actually supposed to awaken true divinity within humanity to finally attain freedom for mankind i super pinkie promise uwu

like im just. What. Yes this shit pisses me off but its also just genuinely perplexing and i have. Absolutely no fucking clue HOW its become this widespread. is there a massive fanon ajax fanfic where the constellation changes???? Some fanart comic with 136k likes and 32k retweets on Twitter? where did this COME FROM i dont understand 💀💀💀

*to be very clear. his DEEDS twisting his fate is the concept brought up in the shadow of a warrior item lore. his DEEDS brought on by a will to fight thats been honed over Countless Slaughters. Mind You. literally WHAT deeds and slaughters do you suggest he had accrued at age 14 at the INSTANT he fell into the abyss to his narwhal do you suggest there being???? To be doing some og good fate twisting??? To be ""changing"" his constellation right that instant??? does the abyss or surtalogi or skirk or his narwhal canonically mug ajax' mythical True And Correct constellation at gunpoint 12 seconds into his 5 kilometer fall into the abyss and swap it out for monoceros caeli and dawei told yall this personally???? or can we let this shit rest and agree that the lore of this drop is explicitly About the path hes taken POST ABYSS as a warrior leading him to twist/defy celestias intended destiny for him?????? Leading to him becoming the eye of the storm?? That its a development??? that it began in the abyss right but that isnt some one-off event either????

Been seeing this over and over and it's sort of been annoying me but. Valentino and Alastor are not even remotely comparable. Like. Look I may be a bit biased bc I like Alastor and don't like Valentino beyond the funny moments he has but like.

Okay. Alastor sucks. Like he's a violent dickhead but part of that is that he's very restrained in his violence. The only times we see him do anything outright violent are when he/the hotel are under attack and then his one moment with Husk. His relationship with Husk gets brought up a lot when people make the comparison but to me like.

Throughout the show you see Husk talk shit to Alastor, literally all of the time. He heavily dislikes him (in my opinion a major part of that is bitterness over losing his own title just to become subservient to Al) but he doesn't ever really seem scared of him, beyond the one moment. He and Alastor have known eachother for years and it's pretty clear to me that Alastor sort of just. Let's him say whatever as long as he doesn't hit A Limit. Alastor's own contract is something he's very clearly sensitive about and Husk bringing that up when he was already in a bad mood. I'm not saying the way he treats Husk in this scene is good, or right but just that it makes sense in context.

I guess what really does it for me is Niffty as well? Like it's so clear she loves Al, quite literally crawling all over him and crowning him. They have a very sweet relationship in the show. She's comfortable enough with him to freely speak about her own feelings ("I really like them Alastor. They let me put on roach puppet shows without booing")

You just get the sense that like. Alastors relationship with his contractee's is. Maybe not the most outright friendly but it's not inherently violent.

And then you compare that to Valentino. Valentino is violent, but worse he's impulsive. And also kind of an idiot. Like the first time we see him it's Velvette calling Vox to come deal with him bc the man is on a rampage and killing her models. He has to be talked down from going to the hotel and killing everyone there. (Already a bad idea image wise but like. With the literal Princess of Hell in that hotel it's like. What was your plan for after that Val. What was your plan for after you attacked the only heir to the throne, the literal daughter of the devil. Christ.)

The difference here is that the only contractee we see him interact with is Angel Dust, and their relationship is fraught with abuse. Physical, sexual, and psychological. Valentino enables his drug addiction because it makes Angel more compliant. Even when he is not being violent towards Angel himself, he's still perpetuating that violence through the work he has Angel do (literally the everything about Poison makes me kind of sick to watch. Tbh, like great song but i cannot watch the mv without getting kind of upset. And look there's a conversation in there about sex work, and specifically SAFE sex work but that's not really what this post is.)

Like. There's literally a line in the show about Angel being WATERBOARDED at work. ("You know, Val, he's into that waterboarding shit now - I don't know, it's a kink." - episode 6 welcome to heaven) And this is JUST Angel's perspective. You don't see Valentino's other contracts but from the way Angel is treated, it's kind of clear that he does shit like this to anyone under his control, and thus anyone who cannot tell him No.

Look. You get the sense that Alastor is a dick, but there's no implication that he takes Niffty and Husk out back and beats them when he's aggravated (with them or otherwise.) We literally watch Valentino assault and threaten Angel because there is someone stronger than him [Valentino] who is trying to get him out of work.

[Edit (June 2nd, 2024): I want to clarify that I do like loser, baby and also Husk as a character and this is more abt my grievances with fandom comparing the two. In series, Angel needed that discussion with Husk and even thought their situations aren't 1:1 or even really that similar, it's still clear that Husks attempt to like. Empathize with him worked for Angel. That is all, thank u and goodnight]

I think the debate of whether or not rui is more or less gay coded than other pjsk ocs is fucking stupid and I have no interest in it. Why are we playing gayness Olympics. but it does rub me the wrong way that people seem to get so Big Mad about it that they’ll go “there’s no gay coding at all” wrt rui like I’m sorry but there is. Coding a man as gay is not the same as coding a woman as gay. However I am not here to be a warrior for gay men when this fanbase already has beef with the concepts of lesbians existing so I will refrain from “erm actually”-ing about it in a lengthy lecture.

I agree that Monty should be criticized for a lot of his coaching decisions, but FIRE HIM??? Be so fucking for real.

We weren’t even supposed to be contenders this season.

I want to put trending omegaverse TikTok threads in a museum. I'm not joking; they are actual fucking art to me.

fandom discourse is so stupid like it is truly Not That Deep

Talking about age is a terrifying thing, and for good reason. Especially on the Internet, you never know who's who. And broaching that conversation with people you trust and know aren't complete freaks (/neg) can also be terrifying.

For minors, they have to worry about the potential of (especially with older people, and I mean older within like a few years, practice Internet safety y'all 🫵) being ostracized. That kinda shit sucks, especially when you're a year or two away from being 18. I was in that same position, I know how scary it can be because you don't want to lose friends over something as simple as age.

Honestly, we just need to trust that 16 and 17 year olds can make decisions for themselves. If you didn't want to be pushed away from your friends at their age, why would you push them away? Especially if you're only a year or two older than 18.

I like mpreg jokes, same as i like fpreg jokes. I think it's fine if it's not transphobic. Examples:

Oh fuck i just put myself on the spot. Oh god I can't do this

[mrsmiroir]

one thing on the “is buck-tick goth” question is that we could sit here and debate which bands are and aren’t goth until the eventual heat death of the universe, and honestly i’m all for disagreeing and i understand the reasons why people wouldn’t consider them a goth band and they’re absolutely valid. it’s just that when those people don’t hold western (white) goth bands to those same standards and consider them as goth despite them having those same “non-goth” traits that damned buck-tick in their eyes… well then it’s no longer about the music now is it.

Maybe this is kinda hypocritical of me being an animator and all but. I don’t think animation would be the best way to adapt asoiaf. I think it would most likely come out kinda shit. Sorry

[deargravity]

wtf is a “debate”? if you disagree with me i’ll just kill us both. now no one wins. you shld have just listened to me

[girlcockholmes]

i used to block so few people when i first got tumblr but i realized that i could guarantee that someone i personally found shitty or annoying would never interact with me even if the chances were minuscule that that would ever happen in the first place and it changed my life
