#Support to underrated characters

[maniacparrot]

My fellow ladies. Please answer me something.

Savage Saturday! I read about this from @nika6q to @dystopicjumpsuit and @clonethirstingisreal (couldn‘t tag you sorry 🥺) and thought I might debut my first non-clone star wars artwork with this absolutely underrated character!

I‘m a huge fan of the original Savage. He is a caring brother 🥹🫶🏼

I hope you like it! 🫶🏼✨

Mdzs Fandom: JC suffered so much, he lost his entire family and sister and even his clan, surely his taking out his anger and resentment at others is totally misunderstood and reasonable, I relate to him so much 🥹

WN (who lost not only his sister and entire family and clan but also his literal life, and was held captive and experimented on for thirteen years as a trophy, watches his relatives die a second time, is treated with prejudice and disdain and fear by most of the cultivation world, yet despite all this still manages to retain a bone-deep kindness and humility, as well as a sense of righteousness as fierce as himself): Am I a joke to you?

This is what I meant when I said characters who are constantly declaring what they went through are put up on a pedestal for their non existent resilience. It's so easy to forget that other characters went through much of the same pain and handled their circumstances better, like WN who went through literal hell himself, because he barely mentions and even downplays his suffering.

Just curious Junko, let's say you have all three classes available to you, but would only be able to get 14 of them on your side, you and Mukuro don't count as part of class 78 for this, who do you pick to become Despairs?

I firmly believe Nekomaru was the reason the canon remnants were able to work as a team as well and as long as they did after Junko died

Look, it's okay to admit that two things can be correct: 1) Suyin is a total smoke show, and I'd let her completely ruin my life 2) She is a fictional character, and we all fall prey to giving them more passes and leeway than we ever would people in real life

⭐ and 🏙️ for the ask game

⭐: most underrated character in your opinion

the non lois/clark metropolis characters are the most underrated imo! characters like the daily planet workers (cat, ron, steve, etc.) as well as others like maggie sawyer, emil hamilton, and bibbo bibbowski make the city feel so fleshed out and lively, and when they're not there it's SO apparent. its wild to go from reading the recent runs on superman and action comics that don't really utilize characters outside of clark and lois that well imo, to reading the triangle era where there'd be at least a couple pages dedicated to showing you whatever the hell jimmy and bibbo were up to.

🏙️: favorite era

ok i have a kara answer and a non-kara answer for this: the bronze age specifically for kara and the triangle era for the rest of the superfam (sans kara obv). the bronze age has my favorite version of kara: i love her personality, her relationship with clark, and all the stories she was featured in (hi the superman family and supergirl vol 2), and i really love the triangle era for what i described above: i love how fleshed out the city + clark's supporting cast felt during that time (society if kara was there </3).

superfam ask game!

I have been sort of sitting on this subject because it would be so easy for it to get taken out of context. I hope I can explain myself so that doesn’t happen and I’d like to hear your thoughts. Basically I feel like part of what made Feyre’s character special is what makes her beautiful and I think it gets lost between all the sister anti bs arguments. I do think everyone is allowed to imagine all the characters however they want but I feel like if you go by canon what makes Feyre different that her sisters beauty is her personality. I find it a bit bothersome when I see takes like -certain archeron sister is the prettiest- because canon, physically, Elain is beautiful and Nesta is stunning but what sets Feyre apart is that those that fell into an attraction for her was only after having gotten to know her. I notice Nesta and Elain have this attraction from males almost at first sight and so I think the part that Feyre doesn’t get this sort of story line was what made her unique and I really liked that. In my opinion I think all 3 sisters are attractive in their respective ways- Elain an innocent pure sort of beauty, Nesta has sexy and angry, while Feyre has a mature and quiet beauty. The last part is my opinion, everyone can imagine them how ever but I do think canon sort of gave me the impression about what stands out about Feyre and I feel like it gets lost in the whole mess that is pitting the sisters against each other that is this fandom

hello, anon! sorry for taking so long to respond to this.

this was a very sweet ask! i can see what you mean about feyre being unique in her own ways. personally, i have a preference for the person feyre was in the first book, but i can totally understand you, and many others, enjoying the character she became post-acotar. i love who nesta is as a character because i feel i relate to her more than the others, but feyre's willingness and bravery to stand up for what she believed in, in book 1 was something i admired about her character. and elain's gentle demeanor and clear progression as a character by the time we reach book 2 is something i hope is expanded on more.

i would love if you'd elaborate a bit more on your point of view, as well as if this ask if targeted at a specific post of mine (?) because i'm not exactly an account that's very pro feyre (though i don't hold anything against people who do like her). do you think that i'm a part of the group that fans the flames of the competition between the sisters? in fairness, i can see how my posts could be interpreted that way.

anyway, on some level, i do agree that this fandom has a tendency to vilify and pit the sisters against each other for the sake of their faves. i have seen some absolutely horrid takes on all sides of the aisle, justifying things their fav sister has done and putting down the other sisters in favor of blatantly flat characterizations of them in order to make their anger seem more justified.

but i also think this is a symptom of canon itself being willing to pit them against each other, rather than portraying their flaws and complex relationships in a manner that gives a clear impression that none of them are all good or all bad, but rather flawed and interesting individuals. instead of creating a poignant story on the power of sisterhood, sjm decided it would be better to pit them against each other. this isn't necessarily a bad thing. of all the people in the world, i am the last one that is opposed to drama in books lol, but the way it was done has made things... complicated.

all in all, i think the process of pitting the sisters against each other is a very mixed bag because, on one hand, the archeron sisters' being in constant competition with each other in the fandom is partially due to fans of the specific sisters, but it's also due to the inability of canon to portray a complicated dynamic between them. also, their characterizations can be all over the place. i don't think the feyre we saw in book 1 would've allowed what happened to nesta in book 3, nor would she have condoned the treatment of her sisters even as early as book 2. this could be credited to her evolution as a character, perhaps growing in confidence and vilifying her sisters because of it, but i don't see the sister who felt guilty about leaving them behind when she was forcefully taken from her home as the same sister that let the blatant disrespect of them stretch on from book 2 through book 5. this isn't just with feyre though, as i think the characterization of nesta and elain is also quite finicky and so up to interpretation by the fans.
