#She’s not a bad person even after

[shouta-aizawow]

ORV Novel Spoilers (kinda)

Kdj’s relationship with lsk and the whole theme about how a person is made up of the stories everyone has of them and how one person only has their narrow view and can’t fully understand another person is so tragic to me, bc the book lsk wrote and her lack of communication when she was in jail contributed so much to the way kdj was treated and felt growing up, and it wasn’t helped at all by her treating him like a child and keeping information away from him about her intentions during the scenarios.

So like she’s this “big bad” in his life and her actions pretty much define him, but throughout the novel her allies and ysh and hsy get this completely different experience with her that’s way more sympathetic and understandable, and it’s like what is it about kdj that makes him experience all of this tragedy because of her when everyone else has experiences that are so much better with her?

And not only that but the realization that all of that suffering, the way that that part of her is such a huge part of his life, is such a small facet of her entire being that when he’s helping repair her stories, his contribution isn’t actually enough. (That scene probably hit me the hardest when it comes to both of them)

It’s like all of the bad is reserved for him and she’s so unwilling to give him any more, yet she still sorta mocks him (idk a better word) for not knowing more. She’s keeping him ignorant, letting him stew in his resentment and sadness, and using that to justify treating him like a child she’s not letting grow up by keeping the truth from him. It’s like she’s punishing herself by not telling the truth and letting him feel this way about her but by doing that she’s punishing him by not telling the truth when all he wants to know is why she did all that and if he truly had no one else and nothing other than TWSA keeping him alive.

He understands her better by the end of the novel but idk I just feel so sad for him

Finally revealing one of my other blorbos, Niccolo Sonata! A mixed genre troll who poses as a Pop Idol up until world tour

He's a complicated bag, he's half rock half classical, his mother kind of low-key hates him, and his dad does care but is kind of paralyzed with various anxieties that comes with the fact that Niccolo is half classical (worried about his constitution and his wings) and things related to his mother (she doesn't want Niccolo to become like his dad and puts a lot of restrictions on him)

Both of his parents don't really know what to do with him, and he doesn't know what to do with himself.

He has a lot of internalized hatred towards himself and the two sides of his musical families, plus he is a secret third genre (symphonic rock) which he doesn't fully understand. He got picked on a bit in Volcano Rock City, they're a lot rougher than he's used to so he just kind of took it, which is why he looks so roughed up in one pic and the other he says they hate him in VRC

Again he's really complicated even tho he doesn't look it, if you have questions about him lmk

Imagine being me

Imagine you live in a country where popular american cartoon show gravity falls was not even heard of

Imagine growing up a little and going on the internet, and finding out about this show

Imagine seeing fanart on pinterest, of a boy in a pine hat and a girl in a shooting star sweater and two similar looking old men and a one eyed triangle

imagine seeing fanart of the fucking triangle being kissy kissy and tender with one of the old men/the boy with the pine hat/the girl with the shooting star

Imagine seeing the triangle looking over the boy reading a book/the girl knitting/anyone doing literally anything in the fanart

Imagine thinking the triangle must be a tinkerbell-type side character

Now imagine seeing the show for the first time

Was skimming through some Dixon era BoP for no particular reason and came across a scene where 3 DIFFERENT MEN (Dick Grayson, Ted Kord and Jason Bard) all show up to Babs' door at almost exactly the same time bc they're all in love with her.

Birds of Prey (1999) #19

Which is, A) really funny on its own and B) actually extremely based from a representational view. Oracle was important as disability rep in comics for a lot of reasons, one of which being that she got mad bitches in her wheelchair. She had too much swag and they had to kill her

i see ashlynn as the kind of person who injects 4 shots of espresso straight into her veins because she's unfortunately taken up the role of being the mom friend of her crack ass group and if she takes her eyes off of them for approximately 3 seconds someone will start crying and something will inexplicably be set on fire.

she hasn't slept in 2 weeks and she's starting to see things that aren't there now but she'll be fine enough in a while. Maybe.

One of my mutuals opinions is the "bro code" thing, that Curly is one of those guys who wouldn't care about the victim because the perpetrator is his friend and I'm really banging my head on the wall like that other anon. I've only played through the game once but Curly's behaviour/reactions etc read completely different from the "bro code" thing and I have to wonder if my mutual and I even played the same game.. like the constant digs at him from Jimmy, his body language in his face reveal and so on like you mentioned in your post. While this game is a little different obviously, it kind of reminded of a point in Alice Madness Returns that makes it very clear that Alice's pain blinded her to the abuse of the other children and her failure to act earlier because of it. Curly is guilty of a similar inaction but it doesn't change the fact he was a victim of Jimmy too. I don't think I can look at it any other way because both of these games have really stuck with me.

I genuinely think it really is the idea that people want a simple easy to blame problem and the idea that the only relatable victims of abuse are those that "surpass" it or do a lot to help others. When it comes to victims, especially those that don't fit the typical demographics, who either accidently perpetuate it, enable it or aren't ideal in some way shape or form, people jump to ignore what they went through as it's easier than dealing with those conflicting sentiments.

The bro-code conversation in Mouthwashing stems from a concept I generally dislike that there had to be something about Curly that made him meet or keep being friends with someone like Jimmy. I think people genuinely underestimate how many like decent and good people just know an asshole or are friends with someone who is really bad outside of their view/established dynamics. The game makes it clear none of the inaction against Jimmy is because of a lack of care, it is a lack of understanding from the privaleged postions they have as men to not have to worry about what Anya does/went through and the type of extremes men like Jimmy will go through to cover it up. They are all too preoccupied in their own strifes.

Another thing I see being oversaturated the idea that you have to be a freak, misanthrope or have a disorder to do the thing Jimmy does. The game is an escalation, it's a spiral that I don't see people comment on that Jimmy was not likely having the mood swings and episodes of rage/frustration we were seeing in the game. This is after they all start experiencing the worst moments in their lives that he got THAT openly bad. Of course, this is just my interpretation but much like in real life, people that go to extremes like that usually live mundane lives. It's a pressure cooker affect to where the stress made them pop. It's self inflicted but still the case.

I really think people need to be more willing to acknowledge that not everything needs to be an extreme or in black and white or easy to understand. It doesn't need to be happy or have an answer or solution, especially in the cases where the abused sadly helps perpetuate what they experience. It's not he should've known better from experience or shouldn't he have known what could've happened because victims tend to not like to think in matters of the worst. Not to mention, especially in cases of abuse where it feels so personally directed that you don't expect to happen to someone else.

why does marinette get all the crossover fics. what if I want an angsty fic of adrien finding out everyone he loves betrayed him and then him running away to some other fandom. THEN what-

[longmaxsilvarg]

something about max being dressed in lighter colors at the beginning of the game vs her almost being dressed in all black / just straight up dark colors near the end just scratches my brain so good

I'm probably not the first to admit this but goddamn was I a narcissistic prick when I wasn't on stimulants

"jerza would have 1 kid" "jerza would have 3 kids" WRONG!!!!

jerza would adopt 15 fucking cats and unironically call them "fur babies"

[mollysunder]

Jinx and Vi have to survive next season, not for any thematic reasons. I just need to see them live long enough to witness the kind of psychological damage they'll give to their respective children as mothers.

For too long this show has been dominated by fathers irreparably altering their daughters' sense of self, it's time for women to get their turn!!!

The Medardas can't do this alone, Arcane's gotta tag in more woman!!!
