I rag on Maes Hughes for being chill with genocide but to be *entirely* fair upon a reread, it's not like he's loving it, he's just not particularly haunted by it either. Roy rants about how this is a betrayal of how he joined the military to protect people (mistake number one, dude, seriously) and Maes calls him naive. His reason for fighting is to stay alive. While Roy talks about his dreams of a better future, Maes refers to letters from his girlfriend as his brighter future. He's willing to support Roy's ambitions because Roy's his friend, but he thinks they're childish.
The impression I get is that Hughes has decided he can tolerate atrocities as long as he stays alive and can go home to his loving family, so he leans into that loving family really hard. That's his reward. That's what makes it worth it. Which adds a layer to Envy killing him while disguised as his wife. You can't hold those things separate. If you're a collaborator propping up an awful regime, your family (and you) will still eventually become its victims. The rot at the heart of the nation is wearing your loved one's face.

Liking Gray Wing not in the "he's wise and did nothing wrong" kinda way but in a "characters who sabotage their interpersonal relationships and defend heinous actions for the sake of someone who doesn't care if they live or die are really interesting" kinda way

Watched Implicitly Pretentious’ video on Clash from JL:U and want to blab
Like they said, this Superman is like this because he’s been through this all before, he’s kinda gotten his old values shaved down and narrowed to still being a hero but not the one he started out as. Which, just hurts to see progressively get worse and that version of Superman become a simpler, angrier version of himself for a time, and it hurts to see that current state of Clark clashing with Billy.
In the final goodbye he gives the League as he’s resigning, Billy says it himself, he’s fought his own battles before and each time he didn’t stoop to his bullies level to win. Each time Billy was out there he was thinking “What would Superman do?” like a lot of people do, he tried to be that ideal he’d grown up seeing in this universe and he actually got there.
Batman says it kinda humorously in another scene during that episode when Clark says “I thought I was the Boy Scout.” and Batman responds with “I did too, until I met Captain Marvel.” Billy is quite literally what Superman used to be in that world, someone trying to do the right thing because they can and be an example of what to do. Clark used to be Billy’s example of what to do, but when this Clark at that time met him he was annoyed at how naive he seemed.
Once more like IP said, Clark’s lost that passion to believe that people could get better as heroism’s become to routine and job like to him and the League as a whole that Billy still has. But because the League doesn’t, because they don’t act like heroes anymore, Billy leaves. He obviously made friends or was friendly with other League members, he’s a hero working with the people he grew up admiring and wanting to be like, but he leaves when they aren’t standing for the ideals they inspire.

Love how we can all agree that, while never explicitly talked about, it’s awful suspicious that the two bats Talia had heavy influence over both tried to kill Tim.

sorry that reminds me. mark and william parallels. never fully believed in the system they were under but never did anything about it until they experienced a highly traumatic event that flipped their world and worldview on its head, losing all faith in the system they were under and falls more and more away with every loss they experience. vs dakota and tide who have always had faith and gains even more every time they lose something. there's a full analysis post in here somewhere but words are escaping me

Keith is the type of guy to have probably eaten the most abhorrent combination of singular ingredients on Earth and yet still turn his nose up at the green food goo cause "its green though" and he expected "green" to taste different

So with Ospreay fighting Swerve for the world championship, does that mean not only are we getting AEW VS AEW for the world championship at Forbidden Door but that Ospreay isn't gonna defend the international championship? Cause if there's one title that should be on the line at every Forbidden Door it's that one, so unless they book him to have two matches...

ONCE YOU’RE STRIPPED CLEAN, WHAT IS AT YOUR CORE ?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
cauterizing rage.
the house has burned around you, and you’re the only one left standing. is it gratifying to be the survivor? fear and anger are weapons in your capable hands, used only to serve your agenda of fighting back when deemed necessary. you're a powerful person, built from the ashes of your despair and your family's mistakes. with time, you'll bloom into someone softer, like the full blossoms that grow each spring and wither away with the leaves in fall. they won't disappear if you take your eyes off of them. you're enough.

i am suddenly thinking a lot about jiang cheng and jiang fengmian, specifically in how jiang fengmian—while not being outright cruel to jiang cheng—gives us no reason to believe that he is proud of or pleased with jiang cheng due to jiang cheng’s 1) penchant of maintaining a certain status quo/refusal to take risks and 2) the similarities of his personality to yu ziyuan. and yet, the time we see jiang cheng put himself in the danger, take a risk, defy yu ziyuan, is when he is putting himself in yu ziyuan’s own line of fire to protect wei wuxian from zidian, all while the wens are there and the threat they pose is dangerously tangible. and jiang fengmian is not even there to see it, let alone live long enough to hear of the events.
no clown activities (pro/anti character discourse) allowed on this post
#also on an unrelated note i think a lot abt how people who are also jc stans#sometimes try to represent jfm as someone who is actively harsh to jc#most likely to mirror the way yzy treats wwx#and i think what those depictions fail to realize#is that there is a certain heartbreak that comes w/ a parent that is passive#a parent who does not say anything distinctly mean but u know they are disappointed and displeased with u#a parent who will not say something in ur defense#a parent who will not defend u to others#a parent who lets the other say whatever to u and not interfere so waves are not stirred#and i think that is jc’s situation#we see it ourselves- jc is the point of contention yzy uses against jfm to taunt him abt his care towards wwx#and i think it offers a very tragically nice distinction to wwx#we have the harsh domineering physical lady of the house#and then ​we have the passive (almost domestically centrist) man of the house#and i think very often people use this as a pissing content to fight over#*contest#when really neither situation is ideal and neither pride come out of it unaffected#but it’s like. just as people try to push ‘wwx secretly hated lotus pier all along’ pushing jfm as overtly cruel just-#takes away the actual sadness present of a parent who u know deep down will not defend u#(and then jyl is also an interesting third party here-#bc we see jfm stick up for his daughter’s happiness-#and as far as i remember that’s kinda it with jfm and jyl?#but yzy. is also imo clearly displeased with jyl and thinks her neither capable nor powerful)#also i should note. jiang cheng is one of my all time favorite mdzs characters

Listening to the Hadestown OST and getting fricked up over the musical and the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice again
> Listening to the song I chose for that (still unfinished) Jaiden and Roier animatic and getting even more fricked up
>> Listening to Epic III from the soundtrack and getting even more fricked up thinking about Pac and Madagio – specifically Pac appealing to Madagio's humanity (for lack of a better word), drawing parallels between Madagio and Fit and asking Madagio to change the narrative so he and Fit aren't doomed to the same fate as them.

I'm... kind of confused about this? Like Ignatz is basically saying the only way for people to move forward is by continuing to fight and destroy? That's a pretty awful message in general, but coming from Ignatz it just feels weird. It sounds like he's just accepted war and that it's just... something that happens so we should shrug it off and move on?
I know this game tends to have very strong pro-war/pro-invasion messages which is already really gross to me, but it went from being annoying and icky to just making me feel disgusted. Also, Ignatz of all people shouldn't just shrug his shoulders and be like well that's just the way of things, I guess! There's an active war going on so it makes sense that towns could be rebuilt and destroyed again. It doesn't mean just give up on it.
Also really doesn't feel like an Ignatz thing to say.
#DCB Three Hopes Run#I'll be honest I have very low opinions of people when I see them say shit like#Edelgard is in the right and it she was justified to invade territories#if there was provocation/she was attacked by another territory first I'd get it#but I can't sympathize with the concept in general of attacking another nation that has nothing to do with you#it feels absolutely disgusting and seeing people actually DEFEND that is extremely concerning about their real life values#especially when she's very open about how the purpose of it is conquest and not actually the Church#and no nobody can use the Faerghus sheltering refugees as an excuse bc she attacks them in both games#and they didn't shelter the Church at all outside CF. in Hopes it's just a reason the writers needed to be able to#make it so the game had a similar story to Houses and to give a reason so the war still happened#Faerghus was quite literally minding its own business and growing at an astoundingly fast pace#and suddenly they have to decide whose side to take in a war? they didn't want to go to war but they were forced#and Ignatz here basically shrugging his shoulders figuring it's just a way of life to be at war is... not a good message#people who initiate war do it for their own political and territorial gain and that's true of this story too#it's not a question of whether or not it was Edelgard's goal bc she just outright SAYS it is#like... she's not hiding it? she's not trying to dodge the fact? and like again you can like her character as a fictional character#but it would be like if I said I love Ashnard and bc of that I agreed with his goals ideals and values and that#he was justified in attacking Crimea and torturing laguz. he's a really cool character and I love what he brings to the story#but there's a fine line between finding a fictional character interesting/fascinating#and outright defending their actions and basically saying conquest is okay as long as you tell people it's for another reason#i.e. Edelgard gave the propaganda about ''for the people'' but that wasn't her goal. if it WAS#she'd be contacting Dimitri in those two years like hey I see you guys are making strides in your politics mind giving us some advice#if her goal was for the people she would've spent those two years for the people and fixing shit not preparing for war#it just... really leaves a sick feeling for me that people legitimately believe her violence is justified and that here Ignatz is basically#saying that war is just a thing we all should just accept. like... how is war the only way for humans to move forward???#the one good thing Twitter does is that it tries to at least give sympathies to attacked nations#if this game was real you'd be seeing ''Faerghus attacked'' ''Faerghus invaded'' ''pray for Faerghus'' all over Twitter lmao#like if this was never a fictional story and if it was just real life there would have been only support on social media
