[thegeminisage]

ok, i'm getting behind on ym star trek updates. last sunday we watched ds9's "sanctuary" and tng's "parallels," monday we watched ds9's "rivals" and tng's "the pegasus" (out of order!!! 💔) and last night we watched ds9's "the alternate" and tng's "homeward." we were supposed to do "rivals" and "the alternate" monday, and then the "pegasus" and "homeward" last night and i really wish we had bc i was not in the correct headspace to really enjoy the alternate but that's what i get for forgetting to check my spreadsheet!! ANYWAY.

sanctuary (ds9):

i love sisko in this episode. he has the same vibe w his subordinates as he does with jake, that he will back them up even if they're breaking rules but also when kira didn't do her homework he does have to lay down the law a little bit. lovingly, but he does. and since he never does it w/o a reason and w/o compassion nobody really minds

i'm sorry but the reverse sexism was really funny. thank you 90s tv for being brave. especially with her having multiple husbands. get it girl

kira and haneek should have explored each others bodies also

quark picking up the nephew like yeah hes gonna do it again. poor odo

literally it was such a good little conundrum bc all the logical reasons they gave for bajor not being able to support more people were like correct or whatever BUT THEY WERE FARMERS. you get the idea they really could have helped and that kid didn't have to die but inherent, knee-jerk suspicion of new/foreign people just got in the way in both cases. like you had the solution right there!! unfortunately, as we know, people

why is it ALWAYS kira's episodes that go this hard also. it's always like "here's a thing about the complex and ugly truth of the human(oid) nature and how we just have to live with ourselves" and every time it pops off

parallels (tng):

we were just saying "there's no ways tng would have the pussy to do something like this" when tng came on and also was really good

first of all, my worf e deanna DREAMS are coming true. sorry to the actors ik they hated it but i know in my heart worf e riker e deanna is real..............

i read the episode summary for this one but it said AMNESIA not WORF SWITCHING REALITIES. so i had fun going wait the cake WAS chocolate earlier and being gaslit along with worf

his little surprise party hat. please.

i didnt notice data's eyes being blue at the time but going back and looking at the pics is WILD

my baby boy wesley crusher was there also........i missed him sm

the universe worf left was crazy. picard dead, geordi dead, deanna forever without her husband...jesus christ

but my FAVORITE part (aside from the romance) was the bit there the zillion enterprises showed up and the crazy borg-hunted riker was like NO NO WE'LL NEVER GO BACK girl i was like oh but i wanna see inside those other enterprises! actually no i didn't

worf finding out deanna began having the potential to develop feelings for him after the ritual suicide thing and then IMMEDIATELY turning around to seduce her when he got back to his universe...so true. i would have done the same thing. i know he's gonna get w dax later and deanna will eventually marry riker so he's GONNA fumble it but don't fumble it!!!

rivals (ds9):

have only seen princess bridge 1 time when i was a teenager so i was not able to enjoy the biggest appeal of this episode rip

actually i thought the a plot of this episode kind of sucked ass. i didn't find the conman particularly funny or charming but i also didn't hate him enough to get invested in his downfall. also, it was so stupid that he took that machine when the guy explained that it had literally killed him............like, girl, are you stupid? obviously ds9 can save it with endearing characters and like, Acting, but i wasn't having much fun with it

i DID love the obrien bashir racketball matches though. first of all the fact that luck decided who won and not actual skill and no we'll never know...but secondly, bashir like Oh No I'm Going To Kill Him With Tennis. like, my guy, you could have just showed off less out of the gate. it went against his twink instincts though

keiko's go-get-em-tiger was really good. he would have won anyway i just know it

quark trying to DRUG A DOCTOR. his audacity truly knows no bounds. i hope those orphans got their blankets

i do like also that when they figured out the matches had been rigged they weren't even mad about it, they were both just curious and trying to experiment. i love when obrien and bashir hang out it's really great

the pegasus (tng):

TNG HAD PUSSY TWO EPISODES IN A ROW EVEN

picard day really good. yes. be miserable. i love riker getting to dunk on him

i really really REALLY enjoyed riker's energy when his old captain came aboard. jonathan frakes isn't the most technically accomplished actor on that cast, but he does such a fantastic job with that shift - riker is normally such an easygoing, funny, down to clown guy that whenever he gets :| you notice RIGHT away. episodes where he gets to be serious and angry wouldn't work if he got them all the time (though my lament for tng is that we don't get character stuff more often...), but BECAUSE they're rare, even a little too rare, you take notice all the more

i wish we had gotten to see riker sparring with worf <3

argument between riker and picard was FUNNNN i don't like picard but i DO like it when sir patrick stewart acts and i think him being on his game and jonathan frakes also being on his game was wonderful. first of all, i love it when they say the m-word, and secondly, riker grinding his teeth because he WANTS to tell and all his instincts are screaming at him to tell and he CAN'T because his loyalties are divided or whatever...delicious.

beaming aboard the ship frozen in rock with the perfectly preserved bodies. mwah. dead bodies won't even age. i know it was a budget thing and space probably wouldn't really keep them from decomposing THAT well but it quite literally took riker back to the scene of the crime and he was like yeah no i'm not having it. GOOD for him.

bonus when riker gets locked into the brig <3

the alternate (ds9):

ODO...................................

i recognized the scientist by his hair!!! he mentioned before he copied it from him

dr mora die challenge. it's not exactly that he "abused" odo in the traditional sense but he did put him in a cage, and he dehumanized him with his experiments, and every single word out of his mouth was either dehumanizing or patronizing. i love how quick they both were to correct the assumption about this guy being odo's dad - like yeah maybe an adoptive dad in a way but odo wasn't a "child" he was just so different from humanoids he had to figure out communication from scratch

like, this mf commenting on odo not having gotten the ears, or like wow you can tell what emotions people are displaying just by looking! say that again to my face i'll kill you.

dax was so weird in this episode. i kept wondering if she was possessed or something because she showed up out of nowhere and offered to buy drinks with bashir and said something about the pillar being moved. a red herring which was perhaps unintentional but unsettling nonetheless. her personality is still fluctuating a lot - at times she's prissy and at other times she's just one of the guys! but at least now she has one, from time to time. not in this episode though

i felt. SO BAD for that little life form they kidnapped. you suffocated it to death :(

i also felt terrible for odo. firstly, he deserves to kill that guy. secondly, how humiliating for him to be seen in goop form by half the station...he doesn't like being seen like that :(

i still blame dr mora though for basically triggering that last transformation...i was so mad at the end when odo was like yeah we can reconcile :) like i get loving the people who "raised" you even when they "abused" you but this wasn't quite that. i wish we had got more of a sense of them having, at any point, actually ever liked working together to solve the mysteries of shape shifters. i looked him up on imdb though and he DOES come back so maybe better luck next time

homeward (tng):

i fucking hated this episode.

firstly, who brought worf to his parents? i thought it was their adult son who was in starfleet, but was it worf's dad who brought him home? cuz this guy is worf's age and was not officially in starfleet...

secondly, there should be a clause in the prime directive about "if everybody is about to die save them with the least interference possible." i get that that runs the risk of like, being written down in their bible as jesus and altering their culture, but the idea that the culture is better off totally annihilated than altered is a little bit missing the forest for the trees. like, putting those machines on the planet in the first place would have been WAY less inference than having worf and his brother lead them to safety.

ALSO, I CANNOT BELIEVE WORF'S BROTHER KNOCKED THAT WOMAN UP. like, this kid is not gonna pop out of the womb with his surgical alterations!!

also, that guy who killed himself didn't get his special document delivered back to his people...worf KEPT IT as a souvenir? one of the only surviving documents from their old culture??

furthermore, his brother did not "won up to responsibility" by staying with those people. he's further contaminating their culture with his outside influence including the HALF HUMAN BABY and since he's marooned there he will never see his parents or brother ever again. because he got the awooga eyes. like, yes, he saved them when starfleet (picard in particular) were being horrible, but also, he didn't save their culture even a little bit, and he's lying to himself if he thinks he did. and WE COULD HAVE SAVED THEIR CULTURE WITH THE MACHINES. that was so much lower risk...................

redeeming factor of this episode was that worf is HANDSOME under all that klingon makeup. like i knew he was attractive because i've seen like headshots online but i like never saw him moving his face and acting without it. he's actually really expressive..........why do you hire a man this beautiful and then put him under all of that. like he's absolutely stunning i was so shocked

TONIGHT: ds9's "armageddon game" and tng's "sub rosa," which i have seen celebrated online for some reason? something about sexy ghosts??

[ineffectualdemon]

Hi! I know this is the pissing on the poor website but. to me, taking the bear in woods thing, which ppl have been using to try and conceptualize just how entrenched and constant the fear of sexual violence is, and using it as an opportunity to make haha sillies feels bad. Ik its not your intention but, especially off of tumblr, a lot of #notallmen folks have been opposing it with similar jokes like "well if you hate men so much I hope you enjoy getting torn apart by a bear" and "she's just saying this but what if you put a real bear in front of her" as well as more vile shit when that's just,,, not the point of the thought exercise. Thanks for reading this long-ass ask and I hope u have a good day!

Ok but it's not me making haha sillies to be silly. Yes it was worded a bit humorously, but it was my genuine response to the question and I was just talking out my reasoning outloud.

And I think my response has to do with things like where I grew up and my experiences, both negative and positive, with random men and stories I've heard about Grizzlies

Combine that with my autism taking things literally, I am just answering this question with as honestly as I can with the logic I employed

And note I never, in any of my posts on it, doubted that the man is a potential threat

I just honestly have unearned confidence in my ability to be a threat in return

I didn't make those posts for a bit it's my genuine response. And I said I understand why people pick bear! There are reasons to pick bear! I just honestly answered my way.

Not because "not all men" but because "I bet I could murder him first"

Honestly my response is much more problematic than being worded a bit humorously

Also I just talk like this. Even when talking about serious stuff. I'm not often trying to ge funny I'm just like this. It's been a problem

[dojae-huh]

Hi, I'm Do young fan.

I want ask your opinion.

I read in a tarot account. That ty is ready for solo debut. They say he is being in the list of members that SM Entertainment is interested in debuting solo in the next 2 years (Temperance), They also see that some of the other members in the same list are favored by certain higher-ups, which will help them debut faster. They say this feels very much like favoritism.

The first of all I don't care and not believe with tarot. But my heart is ache look the qrt. I know they thought that is Doyoung who favored by sm. Cuz i see some akgaes of ty, yt, taeil. And ik they referred to Doyoung.

I won't be a rude fan, and hating other member. But their fan f annoying for me.

It is logical to think that Taeyong will go solo soon:

He already released solo songs. He writes and produces for NCT and for himself, he makes choreographies.

He is one of the oldest, he will have to enlist in two years. It is better to release a solo before it.

Taeyong is very popiular. Has more than a million of monthly listeners on Spotify. He was called monster rookies for his talents, he is an Ace member. He will sell.

Taeyong has pretty narrowed down his style and what he wants to express. At least enough for the start, for the first album.

Doyoung still can't decide what he wants. However, SM is interested now in releasing 40+ albums annualy. It needs to make new debuts often as well. Most of the members from the older groups released have started their solo career, therefore it is now the time for NCT members to go one by one. It is quite possible JaeDo will get a solo album each in 2024.

It is very easy to find hurful and triggering words to get at someone. People, as social animals, are afraid to be ostricised, to be laughed at, to be ridiculed. Although the comments are directed towards Doyoung, he is dear to you, so it affects you as well (your "kin" is attacked). The agression you feel is natural.

And yet, natural in origin or not, it is just instincts. What you should do is make "the danger" smaller, insignificant, not worthy of your reaction. You should realise that comments are just words, and the commentators are fans with no real power (they are not CEOs or managers that can harm a neo directly), you decide whether they can touch you or not. Words become harmful only once you react to them. You have your own eyes, ears and a head, you can tell that Doyoung achieves what he has through talent. So why "booo, it's because he is a favourite of SM!" should not be tranlsated into "yes, he is a favourite of SM and the public because he is a great, talented and hardworking person".

You probably want to be like me Until you're sick of it, bite me No matter how much you copy You're forever below my feet

As you understand the source of your irritation (the querts), you can simply avoid and not read them. Those comments are created as plees for attention by losers to begin with. If you refuse antis your attention and your replies to them, you win as you don't give them what they want.

Taeil is a nice person and Taeil has nice fans. The way to not start to dislike him because of his akgaes is to pay attention to DoIl, to Taeil solo (YT content) and to his good fans (TW accs that just post cute things with him). Same applies to other neos.

Yes, it is easier said than done. However, that what living is. You encounter problems and learn how to deal with them. Looking down on antis and disregarding them takes practice, however, in the end it will safe your neurons. A fandom can be enjoyable. Even toxic NCT fandom has people who do charity, moderate news and tranlsation accounts, organise streaming, voting, etc.

[faeiapalette]

Literally leave Ayato alone already. Ik everyone has their opinions but why don’t keep them to yourself if they’re not positive ones??? Don’t wonder why Ayato stans reacted that way because everyone would defend their fav Diaboy. Acting like he isn’t the Sakamaki most prone to put his life on the line for others pfft. Girl, you will obviously get such negative reactions if you start drama. You claim you don’t want to but you did start it already because you spread hatred in this fandom with your “opinions”.

So… Not supporting one-way opinions is wrong? Trying to point out a different perspective is wrong? Speaking the truth is wrong? Oh and by that logic a tons of people have violated and should have been called out bc they spoke “non-positive opinion” about other characters. Why haven’t them been attacked yet? Because a lot of people supported their wrong statements => They are right? Is peace more important than truth? ��

I don’t think the problem is me tho ^^? Isn’t it bc of people who absorbed too much logically wrong statement and misinformations then believe those were the truth and attack people who disagree with them? I recall one of them called me narrow-minded. So… who’s the one being narrow-minded here? Didn’t yall hate that kind of behaviour? Also? I don’t recall calling him “Not the Sakamaki most prone to put his life on the line for others”? Slow down yall i don’t have enough time to spit out the words you just put in my mouth. (And you think i don’t know the consequence of this? I’m fully awared. One has to stand up and point out the truth so yall don’t be too absorbed in those on-way tunnel mindset.)

And for the last time i didn’t attack him? I just explain “why things happened that way” and yall be attacking me for pointing things out 😂. Modern day problem: Real people aren’t as value as an anime boy. 👏 There you go, people who value “good moral quality” and criticize the opposite oh-so much.

*cracks knuckles*

What does proshipping mean to you? What do you think proshipping means/is about?

To start off (and I'm being very annoying here ik) but I don't believe "proshipping" is a real term. It in not an action, it's an adjective to describe someone's belief on shipping

With that out of the way, that it means to me to be proship is to believe in "ship and let ship" no matter what. It's exactly what it says on the tin. To be proship is to be pro-ships, even if you personally dislike or even hate said ships

Why do you believe in this label / What lead you to this belief?

Because I don't believe it's a good use of your (general) time or energy to be pissy about what other people are doing in fiction. If anything, I think it's extremely bad for your mental health to feel like you have to think so seriously about something that is just a non-issue

Fandoms are supposed to be fun, shipping is supposed to be fun, it really isn't that serious. If you see something you don't like then just block the person or the tag associated with it. It's simple

Did you use to be an anti? How did the controversy surrounding this belief affect you personally?

Oh yeah. I never went super out of my way to harass anyone (luckily) but I was an asshole to anyone in Discord servers if I found out they shipped "weird" things. Incest was a big no-no to me, it was a squick at the time and I definitely made that known (in that annoying way antis like to "subtly" let everyone know they aren't shipping icky bad things. iykyk)

I very vividly remember calling an adult (I was at the time a minor, probably 14-16) in a Discord server a pedophile for just identifying as proship. Not great. Still regret it. Still wish I could somehow find and apologize to them

It personally affected me greatly because, at the time (and hilariously now that I think about it), I was both an antishipper and a shotacon. So. A huge fucking hypocrite LMAO

But I kept it to myself and my mental health was down the toilet since I did actually believe the shit I was spewing and I was genuinely terrified I was "secretly a pedophile" and that I somehow didn't know

Logic wasn't logic-ing but I was a depressed teenager surrounded by like minded individuals (so shitty people) who fueled those types of thoughts (even if they didn't directly know they were doing it)

So like. Yeah. Being an anti wasn't fun for me at all. I was already stressing about too many things at that age and being afraid I was secretly evil (since, y'know, believed in thought crimes back then) didn't exactly help. I believe my paranoia made specific intrusive thoughts of mine worse actually-

But I digress, I've gone off on this question enough LMAO

Has being a proshipper positively affected your life? Of so, how?

I mean. Considering the shit I talked about last question, yeah. I am no long afraid that what I like reflects who I am as a person, which has done absolute wonders on my mental health. Who'da thunk!

I have also found wonderful people in the proship community. It's nice to not feel like I have to walk on eggshells to talk about things I enjoy :3

question to all Proshippers/darkshippers/comshippers, etc…

hello, I decided that now is the time to educate myself further in this controversial topic. Before I say anything, I am not a proshipper in the slightest, but I do enjoy gruesome, disturbing content and media.

My question to all those under the proshipping umbrella are as follows.

What does proshipping (other associated label) mean to you? What do you think proshipping means/is about?

(If comfortable going into detail) why do you believe in this label / What lead you to this belief?

did you use to be an anti? How did the controversy surrounding this belief affect you personally?

and finally

4. Has being a proshipper positively affected your life? Of so, how?

before you get clicking, I do want to address some things. Feel free to respond to this via, DMs, comments or Reblogs! Anything is appreciated! I also want to state that I’m trying to be a very open-minded individual. I do not want to ridicule or criticize you. I only desire to understand you all instead of listening to those who clearly aren’t apart of this community and lack the maturity and understanding like I have.

I also am very much comfortable having discussions about this topic in detail if desired. Don’t be afraid to reach out.

I hope everyone fairs well! Good luck on your endeavors and I appreciate you all for reading this far.

[nothorses]

Perhaps you are the wrong person to ask but irespect your opinion as a fellow trans masc. I struggle a lot with my feelings about women, womanhood and feminism, i feel very afraid and resentful when I relate to women. I dont let it get in my way and i dont voice it, and I avoid places where it will be very woman based, but I dont like feeling like this. I think its because relating to women feels wrong as a man/enby/not a woman because transphobes shame us for any similarities to women, but i also hate it when people deny any similarity of experience or insist we're a danger to women inherently. I worry this kind of shame and fear will make misogynistic and well, it would be directed at myself as well because of dysphoria and the connection I feel to women bc of its where I came from. I dont think it will but if you've dealt with this how do you handle it? I hope this doesnt seem like im asking for therapy, I'm considering going to a gender therapist about it anyway, i would just really appreciate more transmasc perspectives bc ik its unlikely ill have a transmasc therapist.

You're definitely not alone there! I think most transmascs go through this.

What's helped me, personally, is to reframe my understanding of manhood a little bit.

Cis men generally don't relate to womanhood the way we do, sure; but they're also not the only men that exist, and their version of manhood is not the only version that's valid and real. If we are to believe that trans men are just as much men as cis men are, that means that our version of manhood is just as much real as theirs is.

Which means that if our version of manhood includes (or can include) relating to womanhood, having experienced misogyny as the intended target- and usually internalizing it, having experienced womanhood often in the same way, or a very similar way, to how cis women do, etc... that's still a valid version of manhood. And it makes us no less men than anything else.

It's also important to remember that these experiences aren't always that binary; there are cis men who will relate to womanhood more than some trans men do, and not all trans men will relate to these experiences at all. The point here is that gender, and even gender-based experiences, aren't as binary and separate as they're made out to be; men often experience or relate to things women do, and that's fine, and normal, and doesn't pose any kind of challenge to our manhood.

I've found that reframing also helps with the fear of becoming misogynistic: I know that I can relate to women, and talk about my experiences with womanhood, and that it makes me no less a man than I would be otherwise. I know that when I do feel weird and uncomfortable with proximity to womanhood, it's because of dysphoria, not any kind of hatred of women. And I know that manhood is not inherently misogynistic, and being a man will not turn me into a misogynist by default.

It's normal to still have worries about this stuff, and maybe those reassurances won't help you as much as they've helped me to internalize; but sometimes having the logic to talk yourself through can help a little bit.

ik jjk is taken place a couple years back but do you think yuta and hime would be the type to make couple tiktoks together? and if everyone had tiktok what kind of things do you think they’d post?

lmaooo sometimes I forget that jjk takes place in 2018 so I accidentally make references to current-day memes in some chapters... Let’s just pretend that tsunami takes place in an au where tiktok and other 2020s memes are popular during that time 👍

I’ve seen some couple tiktoks before, but they’re like... the cringy kind that I don’t see Hime or Yuta doing. Hime has no idea how tiktok works and yuta didn’t even have a tiktok account because he was a loser before high school BUT after becoming a student in jujutsu tech, he probs became more up-to-date on social media stuff. 

Yuta’s tiktoks would consists of videos of his friends doing stupid shit and just generally having fun together. He probably did TRY to post a tiktok of him and Hime on a date, but got triggered af when he started seeing thirst comments about his girlfriend 💀 so since then, he no longer posts videos like that 💀💀

Hime had to get EXTENSIVE LESSONS on tiktok and how to stay safe on it because girl just... has no idea how to handle anything on phone-related 💀 like Yuta, most of her vids consist of her and her friends. But the videos that are really popular are tiktoks and lives of her swimming underwater and getting close to all the animals there. The reasons those vids are so popular are because 

hot girl in a bikini. duh. 

cool sea creatures!!!

SHE SWIMS WITH SHARKS AND ISN’T SCARED????

These videos also attract a lot of conspiracy theorists because while she’s careful not to speak underwater, she kinda forgot that people can’t actually stay underwater for so long without an air source. Ever since her first live tiktok that lasted over 5 minutes of just her exploring the sea WITHOUT GOING UP FOR AIR, people have been theorizing that she’s a mermaid of some sorts... 💀💀

(her friends definitely have a great laugh over it tho while megumi’s shaking his head over how adorably dumb his senpai is)

Okay as for everyone else now... 

Maki: she mostly uses it for viewing but she does have a few videos of just her spilling the tea about her toxic family. She doesn’t get into TOO much detail, but she tells ppl that they’re hella racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, and doxxes them to her followers. Naoya hates her for this because now his comments are full of angry feminists who call him out on his stupidity and he’s too dumb to counter back at them with actual logic 💖

Nobara: shopping tiktoks. happily shows off all the luxury clothes she bought with the stipend the school gives her. Ppl believe she’s a socialite and she doesn’t bother correcting them

Megumi: nothing. he’s boring. 

Yuji: poor boy’s gotten his account banned and taken down so many times because Sukuna keeps taking over his body and making tiktoks of him saying the most nastiest slurs and getting into fights with feminists in the comments 😔

Panda: he posted a tiktok of himself ONCE and deleted his account after the furry community started sending him horny messages 

Inumaki: All of his videos are of him terrorizing pranking his friends and other unfortunate people who come across him. None of his followers can understand a single thing he’s saying, but they don’t care because he’s cute and his pranks are funny 

Gojo: Aside from his daily lip care routine, he also posts old embarrassing videos that he took of Megumi when he was a kid. He also has a shit ton of videos of Hime that got him permanently banned from tiktok since a lot of people began suspecting him of pedophilia and his reply to it was to make a video of him and an oblivious Hime eating out together with the caption “age is just a number 💖”. Yeah, bitch got cancelled real fast 

(things got even more heated when some people reached out to her on tiktok asking if she was dating Gojo and she was like “no, he’s my teacher???” Everyone was DISGUSTED by him 😡)

[superectojazzmage]

It’s really interesting how the context of the real world or larger franchise that a story is written in can make a huge difference in its quality and how it’s received, and depriving it of that context can utterly ruin it.

I say this in regards to X-Men with the whole Krakoa Age which is fantastic for the most part and probably the best X-Men has been in years, but which can ONLY exist and be good in the specific context in which it was created; as a return to form making the best out of decades on end of X-Men as a series getting horribly mistreated and subjected to near-endless terrible stories with only pockets of hope between long stretches of shit.

Jonathan Hickman’s refreshing of the X-Men is built entirely around taking all the absolute rancid garbage the Merry Mutants have suffered through since Decimation and making something out of it — the repeated mutant genocides, the mass slaughter of beloved characters, the pointless revivals of characters that should’ve stayed dead, the derailments of heroes into villains, the woobification of villains into heroes, the snarled and convoluted or abandoned plotlines, the incessant misery, the demonization of humans, the refusal to let the X-Men progress in their goals, the constant spamming of Sentinels, and above all else, the general victimization the comic suffered from people like Ike Perlmutter and Joe Quesada for daring to have its film rights owned by somebody else or wavering off the status quo respectively.

Hickman took all the terrible writing decisions and awful point-missing revamps and stagnant status quos and he fixed them by taking them all to their logical conclusion.

The constant deaths and resurrections was reworked into the mutants conquering death, leading to all the crap deaths being undone and stories examining the logic of a world where death is a revolving door and even the most major of X-Men have lost all fear of it because they just come back when killed brutally. The Sentinel spam was developed into a brilliant larger idea of robots and transhumanity being the “third side” of the mutant-human conflict, then deconstructed by showing how the robots only become antagonistic because of how humans and mutants both mistreat them. The genocides are taken to their logical endpoint; the constantly-victimized and demoralized mutants are manipulated by amoral, power-hungry mutants who exploit the hate crimes and evil humans to get control over their people, luring them into embracing mutant-supremacist viewpoints, turning against humanity, and joining the creepy, radicalizing cult island where the manipulators are on top of course — all mutants equal, but some more equal then others. This, in turn, is used to make the derailments work, as the divide between mutant hero and mutant villain starts to break down, and the X-Men find themselves increasingly divided between those who reject this awful new path and those who embrace it out of despair and anger, creating the horrifying image of once loving and noble heroes like Cyclops or Storm happily standing next to mass murderers like Apocalypse and spouting the same anti-human bile that Magneto used to. Meanwhile, the demonization of humans is reversed and explored, with humans being manipulated with bigotry by amoral, power-hungry members of their own kind in the same way, led to believe that mutants are evil and seek the destruction or subjugation of “baselines” (and some are and do), which is what stirs the pot of tensions and drives humans into creating robots and cyborgs to defend themselves, which backfires and creates the three way man-mutant-machine conflict.

None of this could have worked prior to the rock bottom low point the X-Men were in when Hickman came in. If any prior X-Men writer in any prior time period had tried this, it would’ve been probably the worst X-Men story ever, something completely out of nowhere. But in this specific context of responding to and making the best out of years of mismanagement and bad writing, it ends up being one of the greatest X-Men stories ever instead.

[demonicintegrity]

just wanted to pop in and say that, as a non-ww fan who's been on almost all possible sides of the allegations (been sxually groomed, become codependent on someone w/o their intent, + had sm1 codependent on me w/o my intent), i fully agree w yr take! i get why ppl were/might still be sus due to how the screenshots r presented but even taking all the evidence at face value it doesn't seem "cancel" worthy.

i don't doubt op's feelings + ik how intense it can feel when ur codependent on sm1 but not enough ppl know it can happen w/o the other person cultivating it. ww could have recognized the iffyness of getting involved w a fan in that way + been more understanding of ops mental illness tho often its hard 4 ppl to comprehend how much sm1 else idolizes them esp if they're a small local celeb. it rly seems 2 me like a mutually toxic relationship w real hurt on both ends.

i rly truly feel 4 the op + understand how he was hurt by ww's actions, i hope he can heal n grow from it. it's also so common for ppl w codependent tendencies to feel like they're less at fault for their unhealthy relationships n that's a huge problem that causes these cycles to repeat. but the arguing abt how u can't be groomed if 18+ or a SW (or even naturally tend to be codependent) only hurts real ppl who have been thru it.

i hate 2 see all the victim blaming n debunking n hate toward op! but i think any misrepresentation was a result of his hurt + effect it truly did have on him. ultimately it shouldve stayed private + i find the idea of canceling sm1 due to having an overall unhealthy relationship in the past unsettling. sorry this is so long + thanks 4 putting a sympathetic and logical voice out there!

You’re good nonny, and my thoughts exactly. Op was clearly hurt by this relationship and I will never ever deny him that. I want him to find peace and get better. But how he presented the evidence just doesn’t show any sort of intentional abuse. I’m not saying it’s not possible, the story as he presented it doesn’t even paint Will as that bad of a guy.

I get that Op doesn’t care about listening to Will’s music and it’s more about protecting people from the person, but as I said in the post, the only lesson I gleaned was “watch your codependency and communication issues.” It was never about cancelling, (which is such a stupid fucking fake concept of how consequences are dealt with but that’s a separate discussion.) it was about preventing more hurt and I think that’s a good stand Op is trying to take. A noble one, especially since he opened up during a spiral to do so.

Honestly I think the screenshots of former bandmates saying Will was an asshole holds more weight against his character than Op’s original claims. I still don’t know what exactly my conclusion of it is, because I know nothing about Will’s life let alone his bandmates so I’m still piecing the picture. I put a link to those in the replies of my original post.

I just feel so exceptionally blind and in the dark regarding all this because I have literally only heard Will speak outside of listening to his music once, and that’s because I came across an old stand up clip unintentionally on YouTube. I truly know absolutely nothing about the band as people and that’s why I keep holding my judgments until smth “more concrete” even if realistically these are probably the mostly the evidence will go.

But yea, the absolutely nasty response Op has gotten is awful. It’s partially why I wrote the post, hoping people would learn to have more sympathy for him. I don’t want to assume intentional foul play from him (outside of posting the nude, which is illegal and wrong and unnecessary.) because I know the talks of whether or not said pic was doctored are around, as well as how legitimate the insta convos are and smth about the timeline math. I’m not involving myself in any of that because I am not the person to deduce those kinds of things. For sake of giving Op the benefit of the doubt, I’m assuming this things are legitimate and the slip ups (like how I pointed the change of social media in the post) we’re just genuine human slip ups.

As you said, the derogatory remarks around Op are practically worse the Op’s original claim. Perpetuating an idea that only a certain type of person can experience abuse is very wrong and dangerous. Even I think as the story stands now it wasn’t abuse, I would never say op or anyone in a similar place isn’t capable of being abused. I worry about how that narrative could take off.

Fruits Basket Manga Review , ch 111

sigh~~~ I feel that my recent posts are a bit negative towards the anime, but thats cuz the chapters I’ve read so far are either unbelievably important character depth content cut for no valid reason or content in the anime but packed with million other things that it lost its purpose or importance. Basically tohu’s ep 6 which consists of 4 chapters & now ep 5 which is a momiji ep & yup, packed with 4 chapters as well... so, I apologize for any negativity, my intention is just analyzing artistic & story-telling aspects, I love se03, but yeah it screwed up lots of important characters due to its not so thorough plot decisions & harmful character insight choices.

today.. we explore Momiji... but only before his curse breaks.

Furuba anime struggling to know how to design an episode based on various plot-heavy chapters?

so, they decided 13 eps, & decided one ep for momiji cuz motoko’s graduation & the fanclub is the core of the furuba & have already cut tons of tohru, cuz who cares? she’s kind. be like her. end of lesson. No. really, jokes aside, how to do this?

How to combine several chapters in one ep? collect small snippets from chosen chapters/content like a bee does flowers? you gotta skip some content, you gotta highlight others. The ep is only 20 min after all & you got an op & Ed that you cant always skip.... so.. furuba team decide that momoji’s ep should be true to his zodiac animal, this is the rabbits last appearance in spirit. so, they went with quick hopping from one chapter to the other like a rabbit?

No really, ep 5 is really like a rabbit in its flow, you can’t savior a moment enough before jumping to the other: we learned momiji grew up!! loves toheu romantically, challenged kyo, really meant it, wanted a fair love game, got freed, lost tohru romantically & faced momiji! but that’s not all? we still have space!! quick add akito’s moodiness & love triangle with her dog & her submissive bed partner, add a happy comedy for no reason whatever & make shigue kiss tohru & wish shes 'was his lover instead!!!!!!!!! Mind you all this happened in the anime before shigure hurt tohru with his “the truth of the zodiacs talk & them accepting & feeling consolance that kyo is doomed”talk. 

-Gets whats my biggest surprise after reading this chapter ?????????

Shigure is consistent!! He isnt a rabbit hopping here & there. The dog is loyal & is tired for good reason! Him being depressed & his weird talk with thoru makes so much sense given the manga’s order.

Kyo is consistent!! In the anime, momiji surprise him with confession he loves tohru & challenge him, then kyo la~la~la~joins them downstairs for curry. Not a single expression on his face, where is the expression? it will appear when the plot is forced to address it: by the end of the ep when momiji face hin again. Then we get kyo’s reaction.

I need someone to tell the anime that actions require a reaction. You can refrain from showing a certain reaction if you can’t address it now, but you can’t erase it, negate it, then make it appear when have to!!!! couldn’t they make kyo refuse to join them & eat together? the     other characters wont be surprised they think he’s needlessly moody. The audience will know that kyo is troubled with momiji’s challenged & it will excite them!!! having kyo just go eat & watch the momiji/hiro/haru/yuki comedy skit is weird.

The manga’s author wanted kyo to join the dinner, like the anime did. but huge difference. the author actually cares for logic reaction & understands that the audience aren’t dumb little kids that will sit & wait for kyo’s turn to...react! nope! she did this: (a) & (b) below.

-Lost Small Bits/ Panels from the chapter.. But Sadly Big Huge Chunks for Characters buildup & Growth:

(a) addressed the fact the hiro noticed kyoru is in love & dressed that shigure was right!! the cat being in love is a weird concept to the zodiacs! hiro reacted naturally & the author used hiro to flesh yuki’s (the rat), momiji’s (the rabbit) & haru’s (the cow) decision to silently watch the kyo (the cat) makes his own decisions to live!!! They won’t interfere or tell akito or remind him of his state as the doomed caged cat. So sad this moment is cut from yuki. Why must yuki only interact with kyo to beat him (all seasons)? why must yuki only think of kyo to envy him (all seasons) ? Here, yuki’s growth towards kyo as a person & his relationship with tohru is 1000 times better than all tohru is my mom’s sh!t & I envy kyo’s Sh!t we saw in the anime over & over till we memorized it.

(b) kyo didnt just go la~la~eat with momiji after knowing he loves tohru. Nope, there’s small bits missing: called logical emotional reaction. He was surprised he’s caught pining over tohru! cuz yuki, the audience representative, has told us in the previous chapter that ppl in love dont notice anything around them. Kyo thinks him being cold hid his feelings. the dummy’s feelings are as bright as the sun in the Sahara, tohru too. a child read her! such small thing that wont take much space from the ep but was cut cuz kyo only needs to be responsive at the ep’s end. & this scene of kyo & tohru looking awkwardly at each other is minor in space but so important cuz kyo is determined to let go but his decision is challenged by not only momiji, but his natural attraction to tohru. Here he knows he’s caught & exposed... here he knows momiji is a better choice for tohru cuz he wont didn’t hurt her mom... here he knows that even yuki is better cuz never had to pretend to be cold to her... here he knows the world is better than him... & here he just cant help by smile & walks towards her... T_T ... another lesson in writing slow burns by Takaya-san.

-Why would the anime team pass on this?? drawing kyoru closer after the epic tear in Cinderella ep, cuz they want empty suspense~! The anime team thinks that if kyo & tohru stand next to each other, then it means all their issues are solved & the audience are so stupid as to forget tohru’s mom, kyo’s imprisonment, kyo not confessing his sins to tohru & tohru’s need to make a choice wether to fogive hom or not.. nope! you see, they think, ppl who read mangas are smart, so the author can give this epic symbolism & pp would still be not sure kyoru is end game & tohru will forgive him or kyo even fogive himself, but ppl who watch, oh no, gotta cut all the plot worthy content, produce a graduation song for a minor character, cut all kyo/tohru interaction cuz it only means romance & not at all character depth & oh if we show yuki actually formulating deep thoughts that aren’t centered around him, the audience might forget his se02 struggles! or that might ruin yuki’s upcoming growth moment in the finale where he .. you guessed it hits kyo.. as he always do & sulk &  think abt himself cuz yuki can only do monologues when he’s directly involved.... man~it is so sad how the anime is dumped down.. Who is the target audience again? not kids as young as hiro cuz even hiro is smart!

-just look:

 Momiji talks abt kyo shouldn't give up loving tohru & the authr shows this this ghost!!! his mom! The author reminds us that kyo isnt da~~~~ forgetting anything. He’s a deeply troubled soul & hos mom wants him locked cuz she too was locked in a cage & thinks that’s safer...why oh why you dump ur own story! sh!t~

Side Notes:

I like the closeups on Kisa’s face as she interacted with kyo. It’s very rare for kisa to have a world beside the endearing parental/big protective bro/big doting sister love she has with tohru & haru & off course the romantic love with hiro which was perhaps since their birth or sth. lol.  Kisa & kyo arent much on the brotherly side as they rarely interact, but its one of those  refreshing  interactions she has that helps cast a new light on her as tiny as it is,  but its sth out of the norm around her. She sees him  around tohru & gets to perceive his true unprovoked character. “He is  nice guy”.

I really wanted to punch kureno this chapter.. like Shigure is a jerk shitty dog for sleeping with akito’s mom but kureno... dude.. you submissively sleep with the guy’s eternal love interest & still walks in on him talking to her!!! lol. you’re mentally, emotionally & physically weaker than him & yet, she puts you on her bed, not him & you, tho not wanting her at all, dont walk away. No wonder shigure is defeated & wishing for someone like tohru, lol! Even if shigure met an older tohru-like person, it wont work. shigure deserve someone like him mean, schemer & loves playing power games. Tohru is someone who values honesty & commutation, not saying she’s an angel on earth, but tohru knows who suits her.. except fate is saying: NO. .... currently. lol.

I know kureno’s weakness is part of his character & I love that such characters exits. There are ppl ike that in real life. It’s just this chapter, I felt shigure’s frustration. XD

Yuki in this ep is the best yuki. no exaggeration here, I love when yuki is calmly thoughtful of others & here its kyo of all ppl !!!! cutting this scene is sad.. without it, kyo & yuki remain a cat & rat in the anime. Only ever thinking abt each other thro envious binoculars or hateful words or yuki giving kyo comedic hitting or life’s problem-solving hitting. Why can’t anime yuki be interactive outside his self-centered issues is beyond me.

Momiji & kyo’s interactions are always the best! whether comedy or drama.

I hated the curry cooking scene in the anime... so weirdly out of the ep’s flow.. very forced comedy... in the manga it had a purpose! not just quick add comedy cuz next shot momiji curse breaks & drama & we’ll close the ep with tears & sadness & glimpses of hope...

I love haru’s answer to hiro... so him.. “a guy can’t fall in love?”so chill.. so..simple.

[harryfeatgaga]

this is kinda a rant but i will never truly understand the hatred that exists towards harry but i believe that people don’t like him anymore because he’s popular which is like…the stupidest reason to not like something. or that he’s publically dating someone which is stupid as well. or that people think that harry, a real person, can queerbait, which is stupid as hell. or that he made his s.o. cheat on her husband which has literally been denied many times and either way how would it be his fault? not that harry’s perfect or whatever but it very much seems that people want him to fuck up and want to have the opportunity to kick him when he’s down. i truly feel bad that they can’t enjoy harry as he is and have to either straight up make up lies about him or make fun of his appearance, both things that i truly don’t believe harry would do to anyone.

YOU SAID IT BESTIE

Anonymous asked: Nah it's just so embarrassingly transparent at this point. SO MANY people in this fandom just really want dwd to be terrible because they don't like Olivia/don't like that Harry is dating Olivia. So they will react negatively & overdramatically to ANYTHING concerning the movie because they want to feed their headcanon that it's going to be shit. I feel so bad that Harry got stuck with such a disgraceful group of fans. I like actually hate it here. Fandom is supposed to be fun but it's getting miserable at this point. Fuck all of you who can't grow the FUCK up and respect that Harry is an adult man who is going to date who he wants regardless of what people on the internet think about it. I am so TIRED of it. People have been this way for almost NINE FUCKING MONTHS. He cannot catch a fucking break with anything he does. People will always always always always find a reason to be mad about it or make fun of it.

you said it exactlyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous asked: this isn’t some up his ass thing because everything could need a bit of improvement. the highest scoring movie across all metrics and critics will still have something to criticise and it’s 100% fine if people have major problems or if people loved it. everyone’s work;past, future or present could need work. it’s just annoying to see the constant negativity because this fandom literally spends 80% of their fandom time fighting negativity, whether it’s a post with 0 likes or 20k likes then go blind to their mutuals or perpetuate themselves. and it’s just interesting that everyone suddenly has movie tea and industry friends. were where they for elvis or prince eric? or before dwd/mp were announced? or during the first 3 months of shooting or even the eternals 🤪 it’s just so transparent i’m sorry like y’all’s uncle’s girlfriend’s friend didn’t realise it was harry on set until january.

yuppppp!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous asked: people hate Stan harry here is crazy and those people are usually the ones complaining about twitter harries, they act like the people they criticize, where's the logic?

honestly lately twitter is way more bearable then on here (not yall jnfbhvji)

Anonymous asked: yk what i find fucking hilarious is when l*rries see a picture of harry with a SO they immediately yell "it's just a pic🙄 doesn't mean anything" however they cling to a 3 sec clip of him and l*uis making the smallest eye contact and suddenly they're like "soulmates🥰🥰🥰" make it make sense??? exactly.

bYE IK

Anonymous asked: Larries are so stupid 😭 literally the day after we all knew screenings were happening almost EVERY anon from those crazy big larries went to see the movie, like ok boo y'all collectively went to see the movie yesterday why would I ever doubt you, it's not like it's the same group of people who have been faking testimonies of the cousin of a friend of a friend saw Harry and Louis making out in a gay bar🥰

LITERALLYKHJIBK

Anonymous asked: the members of the I hate olivia club are celebrating that the clip leaked because that means it's a bad movie therefore they have to humble harry 😁 they act like larries a lot of the times, and it's crazy

very weird behavior you dont have to like her but why do yall want harry to fail so bad its fucking weird

[mochatoon]

@voidfloof

Before I start, the more n more y’all insult someone first, the more n more they’re not gonna understand your side. Criticism stops being criticism when you start being a fucking bitch for literally no reason.

I said this once n I’m gonna say this again. JUST BECAUSE ITS A BOUNDARY/RULE DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BLINDLY SUPPORT AND/OR FOLLOW IT. Like cmon bruh. If someone had a boundary that they don’t like Black people, which I have experienced but I’ll get to that in a sec, being next to them, are you just gonna respect/support it in the name of their “comfort” n the fact it’s a “boundary”? I literally met 3, fucking THREE, people with this “boundary” The third one was recently online, n the other two were in real life, they were a old married white couple making fun of not only my family for not being white, but MOCKING those innocent Asian people. We know what their boundaries are.

What’s wrong with philosophy? You don’t know what I do offline, I could be in college for that very thing or study it a lot, which I do, because I just like trying to find logic n answers in this world. Idk how it’s so fuckin wrong for me tryna understand something I’ve seen before. Like, just because YOU n other people choose to be sheep n not question shit doesn’t mean I have to do the same.

When I posted it, y’all started dogpiling me over a question, but that’s just WHO I AM NIGGA. I question every fucking thing. Especially since it was an OPINION that I, personally, found it dumb before out of spite because of the server. Dogpiling me over something I wouldn’t do.

Even when I DID say I was gonna do it that’s because

I wanted to spite those niggas from the server

2. When I said it on here, I saw it as a “well if I’m an ‘asshole’ in their eyes for venting, having an opinion n asking a question, I might as well just do it anyway out of spite

3. I quickly realized, if I did that, I’d hurt innocent people. I didn’t see it at first because y’all put so much hate in my sickle cell ass heart so it came from a place of frustration, anger n hate. It’s almost as if you keep calling a kid a delinquent their whole life, they’re gonna grow up what they’ve been told. Alas, random people don’t have anything to do with this situation.

4. I already held myself accountable for this error. Idk what the fuck else you want me to do. You want me to get on my knees n n beg for forgiveness like the house nigga I’m not or something?

Clearly you haven’t read the part where I said I’m 50/fucking/50 on this boundary now because not only was that person not A BITCH to me they also gave me a reasonable reason n I was like “finally I understand, even if it’s halfway, I understand now”

Also, I already listed the reason why I felt the way I felt when someone called me weird n I called/implied they were ableist n racist because THATS literally a word from my past that I don’t like mfs calling me in a rude tone. I have been called weird, a weird ass retard n so much fucking more just for being autistic n a black girl, n it hurt more to me because it was my own kind treating me so badly. That’s just how I see it. N ik I have ADHD as well but you didn’t have to say disabled.

Not to mention the fact y’all dogpile, especially non white people (I doubt my race was known at first but I was saying nigga n shit n y’all just accepted it), when something negative happens. 10%-5% of the time, weather it be online or offline, I’m venting n the rest is me not bitching about something but y’all don’t be around when that happens. No, y’all pay attention when some person online disagrees with an, apparently, popular opinion. Y’all blow up people, not saying I blew up or anything because I don’t think I did, y’all hate n then get mad when they have a platform. God forbid a neurodivergent, Black chick, have a different opposition than everyone else or just SIMPLY ASK QUESTIONS. At least I was being honest n not pretending to understand because pretending to understand anything is wrong.

So please, I’m begging you n everyone else, to finally get the fuck up outta my pussy.

Why do people get mad at me that I can’t understand how the rule “dont draw ur ocs with my ocs” makes sense? It seems pointless compared to other, reasonable rules/boundaries

And more specifics: 37 Sam, 22 Ike, 36 Ancha, 41 Mira, 14 Stranger, 1 Terry, 44 Chris

THIS IS A BIG ONE!!

37: Do people have justified grudges against your character?

Oh, certainly. Another way in which Sam is a Shrek recolor is that she is not merely unfairly maligned for circumstances out of her control, she also creates problems for herself and makes situations worse than they need to be.

There are a  few ways in which she contributes to this problem, in general:

1. If someone thinks she is scary and it annoys her enough she will lean into it, “for fun.”

2. She interprets a lot of conflict as fun and games because she is kind of a dick and she does just... enjoy fighting. Since she shrugs off this fighting as fun and games, she often misjudges how much her opponent might forgive because she’s using her own skewed metric as reference.

But those are general statements. You’re probably looking for specifics, and I’m afraid I must let you know I do not really have them at this time. Despite Sam having a variety pack of enemies, I’ve developed Sam’s relationships with the people SHE has grudges against (ie Lance, Page) more than I’ve developed the specifics for anyone who has a running grudge against HER. It’s more of a nebulous crowd of people whose toes she has trampled, some from her shitty younger days, some fresh new enemies...

(I do have one specific Person With A Justified Grudge On Sam that I keep contemplating but I’m not sure if he/she/they/??? will ever make it out of the development phase and become a real character/story element.)

22: What is the worst thing your character has ever done? 

My idea was that I was going to answer this disincluding things Isaac has done to himself because that’s a rock bottom that he keeps digging deeper, but even when he does bad stuff to other people it tends to be in tandem with bad things he is doing to himself...

Isaac has plenty capacity for being a dick, and spent a good portion of his life not considering other peoples’ feelings very hard. But, at the same time, he's naturally reserved and at the time where he was the most empathy deficit he also was in the habit of minding his own business. So he was more of a jerk in passing to people than out there doing real heinous shit...

I don’t want to say “cheating with Mira and everything that happened for years after is the worst thing he has ever done” because that feels like a cop out even if it’s probably technically true...

Lying to everyone with his “ah yeah, that’s me, Able-Bodied Man” LARP is bad but in the end he’s doing more damage to himself than anyone else with that one... not that the emotional damages it does to the people who care about him don’t matter because they do...

I guess he doesn’t have a whole lot of Big Worst Moments, just a long resume of being kind of a shithead, letting himself get worse by putting himself in the company of other shithead(s) and taking their shithead advice, and then course-correcting his behavior in a way that makes him also kind of a shithead in a different way.

36: Does anyone want to harm your character?

Oh, probably. Ancha is good at making enemies for a gentle pacifist.

In her youth, participating in politics games routinely earned her all manner of dangerous enemies. Of course, she’s long since outlived anyone who wanted to assassinate her, considering that she’s outlived politics and Atlantean society in general.

Considering there are other (undeveloped at this time) immortals out there, she probably still has SOME enemies...

At the very least, Lucas would probably take a shot at her if he thought he could get away with it!

41: Would your character want to have any children?

“No” with exceptions. Mira is not a nurturing person, nor does she particularly like children, and doesn’t put any value on ideas of “continuing the bloodline” or “making the next generation better” or anything like that. She doesn’t dream of having a family. She’s very much a career woman to the exclusion of other things in life. It’s an easy cut and dried “she shouldn’t raise children which is okay because she doesn’t want them anyway” situation until it isn’t.

You see, all logical reasoning points to “Mira doesn’t want and therefore wouldn’t have children,” but she’s also not immune to the allure of dramatic projections of the future. I could see her keeping an accidental pregnancy, or procreating on purpose if her partner framed it in a romantic, ego-buffing way.

The reality would remain unappealing to her though. Best case scenario she is one of those overbearing achievement hyper-focused parents who is extremely invested in and proud of their child’s talents and accomplishments but emotionally not there.

14: What is the cutest thing your character has ever done? 

You come to my own home and ask me to write a hit piece on my own character. How dare you.

I suppose Stranger’s #1 “cute” behavior is how they behave when they fail to find an excuse to hate someone or be rude to them. Stranger doesn’t need a big reason to dislike someone, and will often pick out little things to justify being a prickly son of a bitch. But there is a method to their misanthropy, a sort of equation/assessment they run in their head in order to determine that they are Right to be a bitter and rude in a given situation. Despite the fact that this assessment is extremely rigged, occasionally they run into someone they just cannot justify being an asshole to (example: Nikki).

When this happens, they have no choice but to try feign being normal despite the agony trying not to be a freak to people brings them. They make small talk like it’s actively killing them, hissed and grunted through gritted teeth.

It’s like aw. They’re trying. Not doing a good job, but trying.

1: What is your character's biggest fear? 

Terry doesn’t have a lot of big, conscious fears. If you asked him his biggest fear he’d probably say something like, Santa Claus, or a specific Five Nights At Freddy’s jumpscare, shit in that ballpark. He’s not terribly in touch with the concept of fear, same as he’s not super in touch with the concept of mortality.

He does worry about some things that are actually real, but not very deeply and not very often. None of those worries are centered on himself either, he’s confident that he can bounce back from anything and more or less sees himself as endlessly smart, talented, evasive of consequence, and unkillable. Instead he worries about things he knows to be more fragile than himself, like Nugget with her fragile avian bones and respiratory system, or Ike with his fragile human feelings.

44: What is your character proud of? 

Chris is not proud of much, and she undermines her few real accomplishments as incomplete or not counting. During her youth as an ELF WIZARD competing in the championship challenges, she was quite accomplished. She withdrew from the tournament, though, and never made it to her televised match. She’s got one of those “if you aren’t first you’re last” sort of attitudes, so as far as she’s concerned, it’s failure all the way down.

THAT SAID she can do a sweet kickflip. She’s proud of that. She has a SWEET GAMER COLLECTION of VIDEOGAME, and she’s proud of that. And she makes for a great, reliable mafia goon! She’s really proud of that one.
