i lose 80% of respect for a movie the moment a female protagonist wakes up in bed with artfully tousled hair and a full face of unsmudged makeup what is that mcfuckery
#don't care how good the movie was up until that point#the director clearly has no meaningful grip on human reality#maybe i'll finish the movie but from this moment on i am watching a grown man playing with dolls in a sandbox#which is actually a bit insulting to kids as metaphors go#bc i've MET kids who have way more empathy for their dolls than this man apparently does to his female characters#who the FLIP gave this man a 50 million dollar budget. he has never met a woman

GET HIS ASS FLOWERS! GET HIS ASS!!
Did Flowers target Dale specifically because of him shooting his own son?
Yes! Sort of. But don't mistake anything Flowers does to be out of genuine good will
#fop nature au#Flowers oc#I cant believe I didnt give him eyelashes in the comic#Everything Flowers does is motivated by a desire to have fun#Flowers was actually a little horrified but empathy is not one of his strong suits so he moved on very quickly#typically Flowers doesnt resort to straight up violence like this for fun#usually they have more playful schemes that only incidentally end in extreme injury#This was a special occasion though because it figured it could justify itself if it got caught by the council and get off easy#I guess I could describe it as wanting to play on Dales same level and that level happened to be violence#so yeah to be clear it doesnt care at all about Dev it just wanted an excuse to do something fun#btw because someone was confused Flowers is not my Sona just an OC

Usopp and Zoro might be my fave duo in Drum Island purely because they just don't understand how the other one works and then lose all sense of situation because of it
Exhibit A) Usopp trying to help Vivi feel better:
Zoro: He's talking shit
Exhibit B) Usopp moved by Dalton's bravery trying to do a grand gesture:
Zoro: Usopp needs my help
Exhibit C) Usopp trying to instil confidence in the villagers and also show off
Zoro: Focused on finding the others
#like obvs they know each other well enough for Zoro to recognise Usopp's lying and Usopp knows he can hide behind Zoro#but they really do not read the room#Vivi needed that comfort Zoro!#Dalton needed to be carried Usopp!#Usopp wants to be a storybook hero with some of the qualities Zoro shows#whereas Zoro has no patience for any of that or any other people but the crew#so their goals are constantly misaligning even though they make each other stronger#like Usopp wants to help Dalton but doesn't have the strength#Zoro has the strength but not the empathy to help Dalton but he does for Usopp#but Usopp misreads that as Zoro taking away his moment#and Zoro is confused why Usopp doesn't like that he's helping him#but they've helped Dalton#you get me?#usopp#roronoa zoro#nefertari vivi#one piece#drum island#alabasta saga#dynamic#zosopp

House's problem isn't that he lacks empathy. It's that he has too much. He cares to the point that it's self-destructive. That's why he avoids interacting with patients like the plague because he knows that he'll care. He knows that he'll get attached, and he can't cope with that kind of vulnerability. House can empathize with and understand people so well that if he didn't constantly fight against it, he'd lose himself. He insults people and hurts people, and pushes them away as a survival tactic. Nobody spends that much time trying to convince people they don't care when they actually don't care. He has experienced so much heartbreak and abuse that he's learned his only way to survive is to push people away. He's not just trying to convince others he doesn't care. He's trying to convince himself, too. And he fails every single time. Because Gregory House loves people. He relates to them, he cares about them, and he feels vast amounts of empathy for them. He never gives up on patients, and he'll try to convince you that it's just because he loves puzzles, and while he does, it also is because he cares. When you experience that much empathy for people, it saturates every single part of your life. Every interaction you have becomes painful and overstimulating. You start to lose yourself. House is desperately trying not to drown in the minds of others. His ability to understand and care about people is what makes him a great doctor, but it's a blessing and curse. So he bites and claws and avoids and fights because it's all he can do to stay afloat. He's trying to constantly battle experiencing the emotions of others, on top of his own emotions, all at the same time.
#I honestly think is a big reason he gets along with Wilson so well#Because while Wilson pretends to care as much as House actually does#Wilson doesn't actually give a shit about 99% of things#So he balances House out#House can be around him without suffocating underneath an oppressive amount of emotion#I'm sure it's like a breath of fresh air being around somebody who genuinely doesnt care when you care to much#Because then he doesn't have to worry about taking on another persons emotions plus his own at the same time#Not to get into my hannibal/house crossover again but Houses empathy reminds me of Will Grahams#house md#house#james wilson#greg house#gregory house#hate crimes md#hatecrimes md#housemd#house headcanons

Titans curse spoiler (pjo book 3)!!!!
Okay, but if we get to season 3 and Annabeth and Percy are dancing in Westover Hall Annabeth will most certainly need to say something along the lines of "Don't make this weird, Seaweed Brain" as they're dancing because we know Percy now thinks hugging needs to be a thing they do after one hug and he will probably think dancing is now something they'll be doing a lot too!
#he will probably be freaking out about it too#he's thinking “I can't dance omg I'm going to embarrass myself!”#Grover would regret his empathy link because this boy is anxious a lot more when he's around Annabeth then he is normally#poor goat boy having to watch Percy be oblivious whilst having literal proof that he does indeed like her#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo#annabeth chase#percabeth#pjo series#pjo tv show#grover underwood

Puts the “plates” in “Fellplates” (Patreon)
#Doodles#Handplates#UT#Fellplates#Gaster#Papyrus#Hurt Gaster! Do it! Maybe classic will get a shiver down the infiniteness of the multiverse!#I wonder if he'd actually do it to himself or if he'd get it put on him by someone else for the full dramatic twist haha#Who even would? Asgore from sheer force? Alphys?? Idk lol#It's just the irony for me for now ♪#Although to completely cover them there'd have to be four rather than two :0 Hmm#Alphys' gift of fingerless gloves was a lot less invasive hm ♪ But that's part of the fun#I don't mean to keep doing crossovers - quite anyway lol - but hmm could that be 2-P from Fellplates with so much empathy in his eyes?#I guess it's the question of if Monsters Are or if they are Made ♪ Personally I'm partial to the latter but I do still fall into the former#Well either way - the important part is a Papyrus that doesn't like what he sees! He knows how much those hurt first (or 2nd? pfft) hand#And then just some errant thoughts about the Lost Soul head style and Gaster's void scars - give 'em to this version why not#Does any Gaster remain unscathed? Would he even be Gaster in that case? :)#A smile behind the white glow and tired eyes ringed by dark scars ♪ Fellplates is fun because he always looks good when he's suffering#The void smoke is still quite fun to draw hehe

I am a “Meg and Apollo’s master/servant bond evolved into something a lot like an empathy link post their dip into Chaos in TDP” truther and I will be till the day I die.
#trials of apollo#toa apollo#lester papadopoulos#meg mccaffrey#sunny speaks#and I think that neither of them realized for a long time#bc Meg realized she was feeling some of Apollo’s emotions but she just thought that’s how master servant bonds work#and Apollo knows that’s not how the bond they have works but he’s already so hyper-empathetic towards Meg that he barely noticed the change#it’s only the people around them that really notice the way their emotions affect each other#also I deadass think that by TTT if Meg and Apollo discovered that they could communicate with each other in their dreams#they would just go with it#also like canonically that does happen#like Meg just casually pulls Apollo into her past and it’s never explained in TBM#(I know Hazel and Leo do that two but for Hazel it was an established thing)#anyways empathy link sunflower sibs for the win <3

Went back to compare shima-ujie interactions
It’s interesting how the words revolving around Shima and Ujie when he was practising volleyball in chapter 41 compare to what their interactions this chapter(61) were.
Shima had said before how he couldn’t get angry before bc he couldn’t empathise, but here he is, clearly upset. He’s come far from the kid who wouldn’t bother getting upset bc ‘it’s not worth it’. What specifically changed though?
Let’s compare to Mitsumi in the past. She was upset in chapter 41 when ujie told her to stop playing a good person, bc it means something to her to look out for other people, and she values it. She could empathise with ujies pain and yet he treated her with disdain in response.
Shima however didn’t care at the time. But now, he’s finally learning to look forward and go after what he wants, so when ujie says what he does, it hurts him. It’s like a dismissal of what he’s working toward, but it scares him bc it’s also a feeling he empathises with.
Ujie says here he probably doesn’t understand that. But Shima got mad bc he DOES UNDERSTAND, it’s a point of contention for him that he just can ‘play along’ in whatever way to please others. He wants to change that though and Ujie hadn’t recognised it.
There’s also the case of how he still holds in a lot of self-hatred for the type of person he is, imo. He finds it incredibly hard to be ‘selfish’, and it’s already taken so much for him to chase acting again, but there’s always this worry that he’s just taking advantage of the people around him. Even though him pursuing this doesn’t logically hurt them at all.
In the end though, when he does talk to Ujie again to explain what he thought, it comes back to the words of assurance he himself gave Ujie in chapter 41
Because since that chapter he DOES know what it’s like to try hard for something, he DOES care about the role he worked towards, it’s NOT a role he stole from someone more deserving. And in the end, it resonates with Ujie too.
#skip to loafer spoilers#skip to loafer#stl spoilers#i was just looking for chapter parallels and oops! mini-essay ig#I really like the point where shima connects anger and empathy. it’s a really interesting way to look at conflict#bc it’s like. he understands that people can only get upset with each other when they understand each other#and as he’s being more open to himself he’s finally connecting with others bc of it#but it’s messy and difficult to navigate that. he does handle this conflict like someone new to it#but it’s also just how it is to have disagreements with others#in the end his conversation with ujie to defend himself was worth it imo#he got to be ‘selfish’ in standing up for himself#and through that he actually allowed ujie to emphasise with him. to understand why he was upset#anyways. growth#didn’t mean to make a tag essay too but im not editing this at this point lol

You can spend a lot of time trying to justify everything a character has done, and it’s great to look at the reasoning behind their actions that people might not understand.
But you can also sometimes say yea it’s understandable why they did it but it was still a shitty thing to do, and that’s okay. Humans make mistakes, your favourite characters will too. It’s ok. It doesn’t make them bad people.
#not all explanations are excuses#shameless#ian gallagher#gallavich#mickey milkovich#this applies to every character#was it understandable why Ian bad mouthed Mickey in s6? yea absolutely#does that automatically make it ok? not imo tbh#doesn’t make him bad#just is what it is#we’ve all shit talked an ex#we’re human#but#it’s ok to look back and say ah I probably shouldn’t have said that#was it understandable why Mickey was upset in s10 after the marriage cert fight?#yea absolutely#did that give him the right to punch him? no not at all#he had the right to be angry but not to hit him#there is a lack of empathy & understanding in the fandom for Mickey in that storyline where people over hate him & over excuse Ian#but then also that’s about the rest of the storyline he still shouldn’t have hit him#it’s understandable why Ian shit talked Mickey but that doesn’t make what he said ok#they’re not perfect people you don’t need to try to make them out to be#none of these things are black and white#it’s either over hate or over excuse with shameless fans sometimes#there are a million things I could talk about where people over excuse characters actions#at the same time there’s so many where people over villainise them and don’t look at the nuances#like. WHEN will shameless fans realise it’s possible to do both#they are good people who’ve done bad things#they’ve been a toxic mess sometimes#AND THATS OK

Is it me or does it feel like the show is making everyone in Blitzo's life (minus Fizz and Oz. for now at least) hate him/think little of him all because the show seems to have a hate boner and likes to victim blame him? It even feels as if it's written as every one in IMP even hates him now and it's kinda gross honestly considering that for all the reasons for people to be upset at Blitzo for, and for good reasons: him 'wornging' Stolas is not one of them.
Also it feels like the show just wants to beat down Blitzo until he reaches his breaking point and then breaks him down more and more and I'm sorry if the show is about wanting Blitzo grow as a person that's not how you get there.
People get better and change when they're being lifted up not beaten down. Not saying you shouldn't call out Blitzo's behavior, you should he's an asshole at times but he's already a self destructive mess and knows it. And even for all that dickwardry, he does CARE and the show SHOWS us that supposed to TELLING us like they're doing with Stolas when we've seen him do nothing but guilt trip, manipulate and treat those lower than him like shit. He even negligent his own daughter.
Blitzo cares. He cares about his employees, his friends, his family and in a sad way, even for Stolas though not in a romantic way more than he's trying to keep him 'happy' so he doesn't lose his business and livelihood. If he didn't care he wouldn't have gone through all the work in 'spicing up' their sex lives.
So why is the show making it seem like Blitzo is in the wrong for sharing how he feels yet has every right to feel as frustrated and used as he does. But no, he's a monster because he made the creator pet cry.
Srsly fuck you Viviziepop.
(on a less ranty note: I have to give credit where credit is due that Brandon Rogers can act! No matter how bad the emotional moments are written at times (which is most), he still sells it.)
#helluva boss critical#here goes sweets off her bullshit again#this isn't me going Blitzo is completely innocent he's not but he shows more compassion and empathy than Stolas ever did#and i do think Blitzo as a character can change for the better if he has a positive influence in his life#we see how he is around Fizz#picture the rest of IMP becoming that found family like they were becoming in season one#as someone who's been at my lowest point#having people who care about you and want to see you sucessed does help a lot#grated most of the change has to come from you but having people that give you a reason to change is just as important

#p4#persona 4#p4g#hanamura yosuke#yosuke hanamura#anyone that says yosuke is nothing but mean and awful to Kanji should meet me in the parking lot#we're not going to throw hands im just going to show you my 100 slide powerpoint presentation on their complex dynamic#for me one of the most appealing things about yosuke is how human and realistic he's been written#he is simultaneously capable of immense empathy and care towards his friends while at the same time struggle with his own identity#combined with a difficultly in self expression that results in him making tactless and hurtful remarks at times#thats not to say it makes those remarks ok - far from it!#but i think reducing yosuke to just those remarks makes him a rather empty caricature#which is such a shame especially considering that his entire personal narrative arc has been about confronting himself so he can be better#but anyway yes he cares about his friends he cares about their well being so much#he didnt have any obligation or a responsibility to look out for his juniors but he did so anyway without anyone asking#and it's so!!! because kanji does not look like he needs babying at all. hes taller than both yosuke and yu and he looks way older too#kanji has taken care of biker gangs by himself and is known to be intimidating#not that any of that fazes yosuke? kanji is his friend now hes one of them and therefore yosuke immediately wants to look out for him#god hanamura yosuke you so!!!#AAAAAAAAH#he's good with his queue

This was easily one of the best Lupin episodes
#there will be a rant in the tags that you can ignore#but it is so upsetting how modern/current lupin took away the depths of these characters and flimsily tries to restore their earlier depth#i'm one of those people who craves depth in what i watch and it's so difficult to like this franchise because it will be so close to doing#something interesting only to abandon it#this episode and part one as a whole was peak lupin in my opinion with each character having emotional depth yet flaws to overcome#yet modern lupin would have you believe that these characters don't desire to improve in any capacity#if we were to just focus on Goemon for example right here he shows depth with revealing hidden emotional maturity and empathy for Lupin by#comforting him and admitting he himself is afraid (which is a big deal for a character like him who is supposed to be unflinching)#but in modern lupin goemon will literally say that he's not afraid of anything and this is written without any hint of irony or depth#i'm okay with mindless entertainment and i understand that this is a series simply about stealing but the character assassination is so#disappointing#and when this series does try to be “deep” they pick the most triggering subject matter possible to depict to the point where it's#practically unwatchable (this is in reference to Part 4 and its constant SA plots as well as the rampant gratuitous child abuse plots#throughout the entire series)#i want so badly to love lupin the 3rd but it's a huge problem when fanfiction understands the characters better than the source material#lupin iii#lupin the third#lupin the 3rd#goemon ishikawa xiii#goemon#arsene lupin iii#jigen daisuke#daisuke jigen#fujiko mine#part 1

🗣 HOUSES PROBLEM IS NOT THAT HE LACKS EMPATHY, IT'S THAT HE HAS TO MUCH OF IT
#Here's your annual reminder#I've made posts like this before but I will scream it from the rooftops until the day I die#House does not avoid patients because he doesn't care#He avoids patients because he cares to much and if he meets them be will become to emotionally invested#And it will cloud his judgement and he won't be able to see clearly and it will affect his ability to properly diagnose and help#House has so much empathy it's insane#I despise the whole “House has no empathy it's why he's so cold. He's actually a sociopath.”#Nothing wrong with people with ASPD but House does NOT have it#He is literally the opposite#I'm ready to fight people who say he doesn't care#house md#house#greg house#gregory house#housemd#hate crimes md#hatecrimes md

rewatching nowhere boys (yeah sue me i know i know) and i'm lowkey obsessed with how sam isn't even like,,, mean, he starts talking to andy and felix right from the start and isn't insulting or rude to them, he calls them nicknames he uses for the rest of the show, he has a few rude moments and insults but definitely not as much as jake does, who's an actual bully
it's very fascinating to me how sam's ENTIRE arc is really just him getting a reality check and being like "dude you gotta be less selfish", dare i say incredibly adhd coded (hi hello it is me i relate to this so fucking much), and he's right at the age for it too, which fifteen year old hasn't gotten bonked in the head by destiny and told "yo cut it off and think of others", it's genuinely so nice
#nowhere boys#sam conte#idk man i just really really like sam#he's not a dick#he just needed to learn some empathy#and then he did !! and he bettered himself !!#and yeah sure it was mostly to get mia back#but he's a kid#he does get genuinely better and kinder#but !!!#they don't make him sacrifice his quirks#and they don't change his personality#he's still airheaded and kinda self important and doesn't notice others naturally#but he makes the EFFORT to do so throughout the series#idk man i'm just obsessed with how this all is written#they're fascinating to meeeeeeeeeee#@the three people reading this who have been fans of this show for a decade#i get you man i get you#there is so much in here
