“Curly deserved better” “curly deserved so much more” “curly didn’t deserve what happened to him”
No no no no that’s the POINT. Curly is just as bad as Jimmy. He let so many of the giant red flags that tumbled out of Jimmy’s mouth slide. He was told multiple times about the abuse Jimmy was inflicting on Anya. He ignored Anya even when she pushed so far as to hide the gun on the ship bc she genuinely feared what Jimmy would do to her. Curly heard it all- saw it all- and he chose to do nothing. He had every opportunity to intervene before the crash but he didn’t. He chose not to. He blathered on and on about responsibility, about his willingness to do anything for his crew, but when they needed him most he did nothing. He just stood there and watched and let it happen.
And now he can’t do anything. He has lost the ability to make that choice. He physically can’t intervene now. His chance to change things and take responsibility has passed him by. Now, he has to just sit there and watch how the mask formed from all those red flags he so willfully ignored peels away and reveals the monster that was always there beside him. Now, he has to just sit there and watch as one by one, Jimmy manipulates and drives each and every one of the people that he swore up and down he would protect to the very edge, and kills them. Now, he just has to sit there and watch as Jimmy justifies each of his actions by blaming everyone else for the situation he put them in- the situation that Curly allowed him to put them in. He has to sit there and watch as Jimmy does everything in his power to create a palatable, sanitized narrative of what happened all so he can cover up what he was doing.
And Curly chose to stand there passively and allowed all of it until he physically didn’t have a choice anymore.
And in the end, Curly is the only one left to tell the story. The story of how it was all his responsibility, how he was supposed to do anything for his crew. And now, it’s all his fault because he couldn’t do just one thing. He has to live with that fact for the rest of his life. He has to live with the fact that his willful ignorance, his choice not to act, cost four people their lives. He will live with those physical and mental scars forever. But even worse, he has to live knowing that that’s the truth. And that in some cruel, twisted way, Jimmy was right.
The truth doesn’t really get rid of that awful taste in your mouth though, does it?
#hello I have very normal thoughts#idk man I am just very tired of people defending curly as if he is not just as bad as Jimmy#the only person worse than the predator is the one who knows they they’re actively victimizing people#and CHOOSES to turn a blind eye to it#knowingly enabling the abuse to avoid simply dealing with a conflict??#especially when you’re the CAPTAIN???#nah. straight to jail#and yes I know people say pony express would have penalized the whole crew for one person’s actions#we know that bc it happens within the first five minutes of the game#but three things:#first off if curly’d reputation is half as good as is mentioned then I feel like he could have swayed the blowback to just be on Jimmy#second of all even if upper management is an issue there were still tons of measures he could have taken to stop Jimmy#lock him up. or keep him monitored at all time between curly and Swansea. stick him in the cryopod. etc#and third. THE COMPANY WENT UNDER ANYWAY. THERE WAS NOTHING HOLDING HIM BACK EXCEPT HIS OWN FUCKIN NEPOTISM#There is no way you can spin this to make curly look good I’m sorry#he is one of Jimmy’s victims. yes. absolutely. but before he was his victim he was still Jimmy’s accomplice#a very willing accomplice at that#and no amount of sanitizing the story will change that fact#and he has to live with that now#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#panda posting

I’m honestly so scared of getting an elucien book because of the possibility of sjm ruining lucien’s character the same way she did with cassian and pretty much every other male character.I need lucien to fight back against the bad writing because if his character gets assassinated I’ll lose my mind.Pls god let lucien escape the sjm toxic mate writing 🗣️🙏.
#i’m turning a blind eye if he starts acting severely out of character#sjm pls choose your words very carefully when writing him#acotar#lucien vanserra#pro lucien vanserra#elucien#sjm books#sjm critical

Would people and Kelly still call out the FIA if it was some other driver in Haas or Sauber instead of Max who would have made it to Q2 if the red flag was not 40 seconds late?

Me realizing that hospital visits and diagnoses can prevent me from doing things like getting hired and adopting kids almost as much as jail/prison visits would
#yes some laws are fucking stupid (that is what gave me this revelation)#but like a person on the SA watchlist not getting hired (something they CHOOSE to do. as a display of power n shit)#VS my disabled ass simply not getting hired because I’d be a slow worker (not by choice. At all. I’m trying my best)#IS AGREVATING#WE ARE NOT ON THE SAME LEVEL#WHY ARE COMPANIES OKAY WITH HIRING SOMEONE ACCUSED OF SA THAN ME ALEDGELY BEING SLOW#AND I SAY THAT BC I KNOW A LOT OF MF WHO SA GET AWAY WITH IT#AND THEY DONT HAVE PROBLEMS BEING HIRED#I ALWAYYYYYYYS. DO.#ALWAYS.#NO SHITTY BOSS WOULD TURN A BLIND EYE TO MY FAULTS JUST LIKE HOW A GOOD ONE WOULDNT#THE ONLY BOSSES THAT WOULDNT TURN ME AWAY WOULD BE COMPANIES THAT MEED TO MET A QUOTA FOR THEIR IMAGE#AND EVEN THEN. IM NOT DIAGNOSED. IT WOULDNT HELP THEIR IMAGE.#I think only Walmart would hire me but THE CLOSEST ONE IS 1.5 HOURS AWAY AND I CANNOT DRIVE#BECAUSE IM DISABLED#btw I thought of this bc I was thinking of this stupid ass cop I saw#this stupid cop was trying to arrest a homeless man for cooking his meal in his makeshift oven he made out of a shopping cart#but like what is that guy supposed to do?#not have good meals and end up in the hospital? possibly facing charges?#or have a good meal with the chance of ending up in jail? and possibly facing charges?#both outcomes can be equally as bad#but one has the HOPE to simply be good#so OF COURSE HE IS GOING TO COOK OUTSIDE#disabled#disability#cat rambles#rant

pretty sure that while aeri herself isn't involved with any illegal activities (yet 👀👀👀 ), she is quite aware of her siblings and cousin's proclivities towards such activities. this being said, in the eyes of the public, she feigns ignorance because:
a. she's too busy with her art and work to care b. it's bad publicity if that information gets out, and– c. deep down she does...care about her family and wouldn't want them to go to jail
#polish your rage like a diamond ( aeri. )#headcanons ( aeri. )#*blazes back in here like i never disappeared hahahaha*#but yeah....aeri is....kinda a terrible person#she's kind of person to turn a blind eye in the face of injustice if it jeopardizes her well-being....willfully apolitical#that being said her @ her siblings and in-laws: at least i don't have hide anything from dispatch :/#( this could change though if say her fiancee decided to take on her family via the media....aeri would complain like 'fuck now i actually#( 'have to choose a side....' *would pick her fiancee in the end though <3* )#i got to some ppl via messages last night let's see if i can do more after getting some work done <3 <3 <3

Beggong people to stop misinterpeting bsira tma so bad
#We could have had such an interesting conversation about responsibility and choosing to turn a blind eye and all that but you just#heard the word 'cop' and decided to ignore her actual character#Idk how to tell you this but you can (rightfully!) hate the police while still ingaging with this character with the nuance needed to engage#with fictional characters.

About... All that.
//Putting it out there on record, literally everything I've ever made or written for BTD/BTD2/TPOF has been for me, and the community. Gatobob has been such a miniscule figure in her own community that half the time I forgot who even made the thing.
//The fans keep this place afloat. We built this. We added our own character adaptions, we wrote our own stories, we made our own little nests, and we slept in them like babies.
//I'm choosing to stay, not because I don't care about what she's done or who she's hurt, but because I'm not letting a bad exhibit ruin the entire museum. I don't care if you feel you need to distance yourself, do whatever's right for you, and do it unapologetically. Take good care of yourselves. But the people I've met here, the characters I've found comfort in, and the outstanding sense of mutual understanding for the macabre is just too important for me to back away from right now. This is the only space I haven't felt ashamed of myself in for my disturbing interests, and I'm sure it's the same way for so many people.
//I'm so sorry this had to happen at all. (Please read tags, it just doesn't feel right including them in the main post for some reason?)
#//I know its annoying when people say separate the art from the artist but this has literally never been easier#//Gato hardly contributes to ANYTHING the fandom does when compared to what we've built on our own#//And I'll be damned if I let one more lousy creator ruin such a good thing#//but i couldnt say Nothing?...#//it felt like ignoring it. which im not. i dont WANT to. i didnt wanna continue like nothing happened#//but im afraid i cant NOT continue.#//ive had a good cry over it. ive come to terms with it#ooc#Screamo-Mun#//im so scared i'll be demonized for some reason#//this should be a logical process of thought but for some reason im still scared#//please dont think im turning a blind eye#//im just choosing to be a LITTLE selfish this once#//im tired of letting people ruin shit for me#//and im sorry if this reads brash or bold or whatever im just really upset atm

Why do you refuse to help those in your flock captured in the hands of a wolf? Even if devoted to your church you refuse to protect those in the grip of bailey, who plan's to give their body's away to evil and sin if unable to pay. You work as a hypocrite in the lords home for turning your back on innocent souls who reach out their hands for protection.
You seem to be confused my dear. There is room at the temple for all who are worthy. We hold a vigil once a week at 8 pm on Sundays, where initiates who have sufficiently proven their grace and devotion to the temple may undertake the vigil to become fully-fledged members of our order.
I will not say that it is an easy task, but any may do it, should their devotion to the temple be strong enough. Even those who are sullied and have broken their vows are allowed in if they show that they have sufficient drive.
We are a temple my dear. We help the poor and unfortunate, but we are not a charity. Those who need our services need only live by our rules and be remorseful if they fail to do so.
#asks#:ooc:#:real talk for a sec guys:#:jordan is Not a good character. they canonically victim blame and turn a blind eye to the sufferings of those in the town:#:wheather thats because they do not know the extent of the sufferings or because they choose to look away is I think up for debate:#:but the fact that they in the text of the game are morally grey at best is not:#:im not upset i just dont want this to become a thing ya know:#:when i rp i tend to play by the rules no matter how awful those rules are:#:and to be clear i do NOT agree with Jordans actions or stances:#:but it would be unfair and untruthful to the character to portray them differently than they are:#:all this to say you can sure try to send me asks to make jordan see the error of their ways:#:but their stance will not change unless it changes in game:

#losing my mind anon#if the way in which other people choose to engage with the fandom#is really upsetting to you#that’s probably a sign that it’s time to take a step back#fandom will be here when/if you choose to return#we’re only fans with no inside knowledge or control over the narratives presented to us by louis OR harry#I don’t agree with the inclusion of bg in the doc either#but we can only control what we can control you know?#I’ve seen comments here and there saying fans are just turning a blind eye when that’s not the case at all#maybe it’s what you said and people really are just burnt out by the stunts#then okay fine?#let people find joy in the spaces they can in this shitty situation#there’s no use getting upset with how strangers choose to be fans#I have my own boundaries that I choose to stick to#I’ve seen other people voice their concerns and distaste for this#I don’t see anyone blindly accepting that whole charade#but I think maybe people also don’t want to be miserable all the time so they’ll find joy or excitement where they can#tonight it was seeing Louis looking great while getting a great reception from fans in Mexico#so just let them?#idk I don’t care to police how others want to make the best of their fandom experience instead of being angry or tired all the time

Yes, exactly this! Plus, Elphaba doesn't even hold Glinda's choice against her and fully accepts her refusal to stand against injustice. She offered Glinda a choice instead of assuming what Glinda wanted. How is that selfish? And Elphaba is giving up essentially her one and only chance to be accepted and loved by her society! She most definitely does not have less to lose or an easier choice to do the right thing when it means risking her very life, reputation, and freedom. I fully believe that this choice makes Elphaba the single most selfless character in the entire cast of Part 1, period. Just because it was an impossible and unfair situation does not mean that there wasn't a right answer.
I love how inherently selfish both Glinda AND Elphaba are as protagonists. But where one gets praised and admired for it, the other gets demonised and hated.
People always attack Glinda’s decision not to runaway with Elphaba, but no one acknowledges how overtly selfish it is to ask that of someone.
Elphaba is asking Glinda to throw her ENTIRE life away for her. To be ostracised and hated all throughout Oz when she knows full well how badly Glinda cares about what people think of her.
And while Elphaba is used to such ostracisation, Glinda is not.
It is an equally selfish decision to refuse Elphaba request. To perpetuate corrupt beliefs you don’t believe; in order to be accepted and validated by people in power.
They’re BOTH in the wrong, for entirely different reasons. It was an impossible situation with no right answer. And I’m sick of people acting like Glinda made the “ wrong choice ”
#wicked#elphaba thropp#glinda upland#i've seen a lot of takes like the op's in so many different fandoms#and i really think that there's a subconscious tendency among a lot of people to want to “lessen” the heroism#of those who make sacrifices and give up everything to do the right thing#while defending characters who hesitate or choose complacency#because most of us do in fact find the latter more relatable than the former#but are trying to reconcile the cognitive dissonance of wanting to believe that it's justifiable to make the same choice and be complicit#with the reality that turning a blind eye to injustice is absolutely morally wrong#doing the right thing is hard#but let's not pretend that there isn't in fact a right and a wrong here
