Another day, another example of my becoming disproportionately devastated by some minor detail in Xena-

In S6 Return of the Valkyrie- besides how devastating it is to see Xena (as “Wealthea”) be so meek, it’s even more devastating how much she does not want to be Xena.

Because it’s just such an explicit statement of what we’ve seen since Sins of the Past- her suicidality, her guilt, her self-loathing- it’s genuine. It’s not performative, she’s not playing it up- those feelings are that strong.

But even when she has no memory of that guilt, of that self-loathing, she is terrified of even the possibility that she might be Xena. Like won’t even entertain the idea.

And still- with no memory of her either- her love for Gabrielle still overrides that fear, because she is the only other thing that Xena feels that strongly about.

“Wealthea” risks becoming Xena again because some part of her just instinctively knows she loves Gabrielle too much to make that trade- is that not devastatingly beautiful?

This has been said by many many people here before but-

We all know Daniel is not the Good Heroic Character, right?

A lot of those traits that could lead to us assigning him that are are because he's the closest to an audience insert and says things we agree with (confirmation bias), rather than because he's a good guy.

He's the Byronic Hero but that doesn't necessarily mean he's "good." It's a Gothic Fiction character role, which means morals are going to sit at a solid grey.

Him pointing out the racism of Louis and Lestat's relationship isn't done to help Louis. He says it belligerently. The tone is off. He's saying it for the audience as much as just... pointing it out in the worst way possible. He's being a dick, even if he's right.

That's the thesis of his character, really. The truth isn't good, it isn't nice, and it can be spat at you like an insult just as easily as a lie can soothe the pain (thematic mirroring with Armand and Daniel here. Delicious).

And there's also the journalism aspect. Journalism isn't a force for good, and it regularly is used for evil. Daniel knows this, and doesn't really give a shit. Once he puts the narrative out there, it's in the readers hands. There's no "good" he's doing here, past sitting on a couch and asking questions to help clarify why Louis wants to tell him all this.The ethics of journalism is a well-worn topic, and Daniel has the career to show he doesn't really care to fit the mold or be "correct" about it.

Daniel is a tool, he's a wedge used to get to the heart of the matter. When he criticizes Louis' idealism, he's not doing it to help Louis find the truth as a friend (not saying they're not friends, but it's not his motivator). He understands this is Louis' narrative, but he has his parallel narrative as well, the "truth" of the matter isn't about truth so much as it's about comparing realities and supporting it with evidence. Daniel being worldly, experienced, and a journalist isn't him saving Louis. He doesn't even want to do that until Armand pisses him off personally, and even then it's not in the "saving" sense as much as the "proving" sense.

As a Leftist reporter who speaks about things people are likely to hide, he's doing it to expose bullshit. To expose lives that no one looks to think about (the Vietnam Vet with his disabled Vietnamese boyfriend, and the single mom working at the titty bar. Even as a kid, he listened to those no one else would think to listen to.) The help is there, but it's a side-effect, not a goal. He's not a white-knight, he's a white guy with a need to stick it to the man (being the "traditional" narrative).

So keep him an asshole. The truth hurts, especially when you dig at it as voraciously as Daniel does.

Also please don't misconstrue this as me saying he's the most truthful character. Again, Gothic character, he's just a force that includes pushing and idealizing truth.

Fiyero, where are you? Already dead, or bleeding? One more disaster I can add to my Generous supply!

For all the differences in characters in this story, I feel like the one thing most of them can agree on is the absolute undying urge to beat Thalia’s ass publicly

Book 5 where everything is fixed and the entire plot is hating Thalia for 66 chapters

Ever since I started engaging into fandom spaces when I was a teenager I've always naturally gravitated towards the rarepairs or the unpopular character or the ignored friendship/dynamic

And I suppose it's cause like, my brain already sees a lot of content for the popular ships/popular characters/popular friendships in canon, so there's no need to contribute to them cause like, the rest of the fandom has it covered

Which is why my brain always latches onto the unpopular things cause like, those poor guys need some loving too I may as well do it for them lol

Anyway, basically if it is a fandom favorite, most chances are that I won't hyperfixate on it lol

LOOK AT HIMMMMMM (ignore that dewott is fucking dying, this ain't about him)

But that means

Someone's gotta go.

just realized that some people watched the show on netflix and didn't get to enjoy this masterpiece of a scene and dialogues with johnny cash's 'further on up the road' since netflix changed the outro song...sick and twisted
