#and her children deserved better

Elizabeth Afton bets on losing dogs in FNAF..

[sadlittlecountess]

all that pain, and humiliation was for nothing. trying to find emotional relief through her faith, and yet she is still hurting. Losing herself through her “harsh” actions (as a mother would!) for the sake of the safety of her children … will be and always was for nothing. The bubble of dissociation and denial popped by the one person she wanted for herself from the beginning. Doomed by the narrative, no matter how hard she tried to change it. :(

As cute Bonnie and Enzo are sometimes, why does no one outside Bonnie stans ever talk about how rushed and poorly developed they are.

They are adorable, though mostly only in the last season, and I like the fact that Bonnie was finally able to have an stable relationship where the guy respected her and didn't fuck ghosts, but my god they had no development as to how they got together and if I'm honest, only Bonnie seemed interested in him prior dating.

The fact that Katara and Aang stopped having kids after an airbender was born certainly has some…implications

[punkeropercyjackson]

I see Gwen x Miguel floating around so often and i searched the ship name on here to block literally every shipper because i love myself and also don't hate children and tbh what i've gotten from the content is y'all want what Gwen and Hobie have but with no black people

NATLA did Katara's actress dirty

So I discovered that Katara's actress in the ATLA live action, Kiawentiio Tarbell, is actually incredibly talented. She is Ka'kwet in "Anne with an E," a show that I have not watched, but I found this clip and oh my god can she act. This was so heartbreaking that I cried.

(cw: Ka'kwet's story is about indigenous children being forced to attend "residential schools" in Canada, so there is violence in this clip, including against children)

I don't know what happened in NATLA, whether it was the writing or the directing or Netflix!Katara just wasn't the role for her. Seeing her acting in "Anne with an E," she probably would have been amazing if NATLA didn't nerf Katara's character to basically nothing.

(also please consider reblogging because this deserves to be known!!!)

Wouldn’t anyone with a bit of compassion and sympathy not tell a damn CHILD that his whole culture/family was killed away?

they make katara into a mother-figure just cuz she cares for all of them, news flash just because a WOMEN cares for your well being and takes care of you doesn’t mean she’s a mother figure

Aang's irresponsible and childish behaviour *sigh* aang is a child and y’all are acting like he called her something worse. All of the characters in the show has some kinda of bad moments. I don’t see any of you calling out zuko or katara for calling Ty lee a circus freak.

once the character u don’t like say something oh god the patriarchy oh aang is an abuser.

Aang ran away after someone blamed him for something he actually did a hundred years ago. Katara must find him in the storm, then help him dwelling with his past.

I’m so sorry but like are we talking about the boy who just woke up from a 100 year old coma to find out that a horrible war has broke out AND he has to stop it and learn bending within a year span? Oh and his family aka everyone he cared about is dead, I’m sorry murdered. While aang should not have run away and just leave katara.

That’s probably his maturity level for the millionth time HES A CHILD and how come I don’t see any essays about ppl blaming zuko for betraying his uncle, who was there for him for 3 WHOLE YEARS.

ppl love to blame aang and pinpoint his flaws but just when it comes to their favorite characters they just blame it on their trauma. aang is a child ppl if he was acting like this if he was like 18 or something then sure you can blame him that too only half of the things.

And how come none of you talk about how many times aang was literally ready to risk everything for katara?

aang offers to take katara to the northern water tribe so she can learn waterbending under a master after knowing her for only a few hours at most. he also does this after she expresses her upset at being the only southern waterbender left. “katara! we’re going to find you a master!”

aang gives himself over to zuko and his fire nation crew to save katara and sokka’s village

aang completes all of bumi’s challenges to save katara and sokka

aang goes out and basically risk his life trying to get the medicine for sokka and katara cuz they were sick.

y’all make it seem like aang was some abusive jerk to katara as if katara never enjoyed the time she spend with aang

And zuko is a dad? Please he was rather the emo eldest child. The real dad here was sokka. Zuko basically bullied aang when he said he didn’t wanna kill ozai. And zuko being mature is like saying zutara shippers dont mis-characterize the og characters.

Zuko blamed mai and basically accused her of cheating

called Ty lee a circus freak just cuz he can’t find anyone to blame his problem on rather than himself

3.oh and he constantly throw tantrums through out the whole show.

I mean obviously zuko will do these things cuz just like aang, zuko is a child who is forced to grow up too fast.

fun fact of the day : none of the gaang kids had a childhood

and please don’t snd me these zutara arguments I really don’t want to involve myself in their stupid arguments

I have finally gotten to season 5 of warehouse 13, and they are pushing the "Pete and Myka are secretly in love" angle SO HARD and it is SO ANNOYING oh my god. Like, first of all HG broke up with the guy she started dating for his daughter and now she and Myka are definitely together so jot that down.

But even outside of that, I just absolutely don't see Pete/Myka? Pete & Myka, as lifelong platonic partners, sure. But Pete/Myka, romantically? They've made him too much of the annoying brother and her the long-suffering sister. It truly feels like it's just something they did because they knew it was their last season, they wanted to give everyone happy endings. They've done a good job setting up "Pete wants kids and a family," but they haven't presented any viable options for him to do that besides with Myka, so now it's gotta be her.

And the conversation with Mrs Frederic? Her suddenly asking Myka if she wants children??? Mrs Frederic would not do that!!! When it came up I legit thought it was meant to be a sign of something having gone with the time-traveling nonsense. But then they followed it up with the stupid "suddenly you just want family and kids" conversation with Ms Blonde Agent so apparently it was meant to be in earnest. Just bad, rushed writing all around, 0/10 no stars.

hate how team green stans jump through hoops to justify alicent’s wrongdoings but then end up backing themselves into a corner.

they want her to be this poor little victim forever stuck at fifteen and ignore the fact that she put her daughter through the exact same thing when she was even younger. but then they also try and say that she was ruling the kingdom for decades while viserys was ill and was the best monarch, and ignore the fact that she was just attacking the heir constantly and used her standing to enforce the laws that were already there. she expected everyone else to suffer and accept their place because she believed herself better than those around her for laying down and accepting her suffering and she attacked those who wanted to benefit themselves and others in a system set against them - rhaenyra fighting for her rightful place as heir despite being a woman. she also silenced others with pain - dyana, the serving girl who was assaulted by aegon (and this was not just a one-of occasion cause the maids were literally shown to be scared of aegon and he is canonically a vile person.)

i understand the frustration with “i made this gay pairing cis x trans so they can still have biological babies” with no thought to other methods and how ppl assume thats the case when it comes to mothpool aus where mothwing is also the mother of the three, but also…. idk i kinda dont give a shit if someone wants to do that and i dont really think its inherently transphobic as long as its handled with care and respect.

what really concerns me about this debate is how some people are adamant that you cannot portray trans people having biological children in media or youre being disrespectful. and im gonna say as a nonbinary person who doesnt want children for themself- thats kinda fucking weird? like i understand that for some people, theyre trans themselves and theyre speaking from a place of dysphoria, and i absolutely get that, which is why i think the topic should be handled with nuance and diversity in trans characters, but like…. guys. pregnant trans men exist irl. trans women get people pregnant irl. trans ppl’s ability and right to parent and have biological children are being debated irl. we get denied the opportunity to adopt as well.

in a climate like this, are we SURE we want the stance on rewrites and headcanons in the silly cat books to be “if you portray trans characters having children, especially with a gay couple, youre a transphobic freak no matter what!” does it really matter? especially if its being done by a trans person handling the topic with nuance who has a lot of trans characters with varying perspectives?

obviously yes, remember that thats not the only way certain gay couples can have kids, remember that not every trans person is fully comfortable with it and keep that in mind, remember that surrogacy and adoption are also perfectly valid ways to give fan babies- but remember that there are OPTIONS. not that you need to condemn the idea of transgender parents in the first place unless they fit the very specific criteria of “proper transgender representation” and anything that dares deviate from that is proof the op is a transphobic monster (bonus points if theyre a trans creator bc i mostly see trans people getting shit for this and it kinda pisses me off. although idm if cis people do it either as long as theyre handling it with respect)

Clara is an extremely tragic character, but the thing that hurts my heart the most is her relationship with her Saburovs. she’s a little girl who needs and clearly wants loving parents, and the way that she gets this olive branch extended to her in the form of a mother and father, only to have it brutally severed when she’s disowned is so sad. the way she then mourns the loss of her relationship and stability only adds salt to the wound, like how she cries to the Albino about Katerina or how she runs to Anna Angel’s house to hide while sobbing because she was just cast out and is being hunted. again, she’s a child who needs a family, but even that isn’t given to her, and she never gets it back.

Honestly we need more villain Hermes. Zeus and Apollo have at least a handful of adaptations where they're the bad guys but Hermes? None. For all the shit he does, it's surprising no one has made him a villain or even antagonist.

Omg YES. I think the reason a lot of ppl don’t think of Hermes as a villain is bc he’s often relegated to the comic relief or an exposition machine. Closest I think was in Circe by Madeline Miller, he’s charismatic (and not really an antagonist) but still very much a pervert like in mythology.

[punkeropercyjackson]

How do people accuse Gwen of acting antiblack while also making weird sexual assumptions about Hobie based off him dressing femme and saying he's a smoker or even a stoner and mean asf when he's canonically a huge sweetheart and insisting he can't be anything but an adult despite all the evidence for him being 17 like the call is coming from inside the house

Summarizing the fanfic I'm writing in a single sentence:

"No but- IT'S A BRILLIANT IDEA TO INJECT TITANS DNA INTO NEWBORN BABIES, ISN'T IT?? WHAT THE FUCK!"

I find it so ironically funny when hardcore Debbie defenders use the defense that she was just a victimised teenage girl (agreed) and then proceed to slander Fiona and express their hatred for her character and lack of sympathy

as if being an adult magically absolves an individual of the horrifying trauma that precedes them and screws up their mentality and actions

funnily enough these people get mad at others for "expecting Debbie to be an innocent angel and hating on her for acting out as a result of trauma" (also agreed, debbie does deserve more sympathy, she can't be expected to grow up to be a perfect saint when she's been through so much) yet seem to hold Fiona to the same unattainable standards and put her on a pedestal as if she wasnt a child that was forced to intensely grow up while never actually being raised

like lets put this into perspective and remember that fiona grew up surrounded by corrupt morals and insanely screwed up behaviour yet still emerged as messed up, yes, but surprisingly good considering the situation she was in??? she had to navigate basic things such as morals and being a good, responsible person on her own. imagine how difficult it must be to lead a bunch of kids, including yourself, with no previous role model or good example of your own to follow. most of the time, she always tried to do what she thought was best and would have the most desirable outcome
