i went through the whole merry search on your account and i can't believe people used to hate her? how do you not love a messy bitch who starts drama.............
sooo true, anon. unfortunately we live in a world where people hate women 😔 but i will say you're right, it's gotten a lot better recently. i think it has to do with a combination of me really curating my audience over the past year, and in general things are very different now compared to when i started in 2020. more genderlocked companions, more trans characters, and it's pretty common now for games to have poly romance options, as well as love interests that will pursue other characters if the player doesn't show interest in them. (the last 2 being things people really hated Merry for in the beginning)
people definitely still don't like it, but i think they are more of a loud minority now than the loud majority like they were previously. which has been a really nice change to see :-)

I love your tags! Can you explain why you chose some of them?
anon  ||  inbox 
i  answered  a  similar  question  here ,   friend ! 
HOWEVER ,   IF  YOU’RE  FAMILIAR  WITH  MY  BLOGS   you’ve  probably  realized  i  have  too  much  fun  with  song  memes  and  there���s  actually  a  gc  disc.  channel  dedicated  to  me  spamming  the  shit  out  of  songs   and  cm  caps ,   but  i  digress .  .  .   
       basically ,   i  try  to  match  lyrics   ( or  even  the  emotion  a  song  shoves  down  my  throat )   to  certain  moments   ( usually  important  ones ,   like  the  backbones  of  the  characters’  relationships )   and  then  either  use  the  full  lyrics  or  paraphrase   them  into  tags . 
       EDIT :   i  added  links  to  actual  things  bc  # context .
𝙳𝙾𝙽'𝚃  𝚂𝚃𝙾𝙿   ━━   @  gideonlike  a  shotgun  in  a  fist  fight ,   𝙻𝙸𝙺𝙴  𝙰  𝙼𝚄𝚁𝙳𝙴𝚁  𝙸𝙽  𝚃𝙷𝙴  𝙳𝙰𝚈𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ,   i’m  the  poison  in  the  lead  pipes ,   open  me  up  and  watch  the  dogs  fight .   𝙼𝚈  𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙴𝙻'𝚂  𝙸𝙽  𝙰  𝙷𝙴𝙰𝙳𝙻𝙾𝙲𝙺   and  i’m  dropping  bombs  from  the  rooftops ;   i  ain’t  waiting  on  the  world  to  wake  up    /    my  new  year’s  resolution ,   yeah ,   to  choke  out  my  illusions ,   to  cut  through  the  confusion .  
‘my  angel’s  in  a  headlock’   just  stuck  with  me  from  the  very  first  time  i  heard  this  song .   idr  how  long  after  this ,   but  eventually  i  remembered  it  while  working  on  one  of  my   ‘why  i  love  gideon’   posts  and  it  weirdly  fits  him  in  my  opinion .   think  of  all  the  lives  the  team  saves  over  the  years :   because  gideon  and  rossi  single - handedly  made  the  BAU  possible .   gideon’s  often  referred  to  as  “the  best”  profiler ,   but  as  always ,   his  insight  comes  with  a  price :   mainly ,   his  sanity .   if  you  watch  Nelson’s  Sparrow  in  season  10  they  show  flashbacks  to  a  young  gideon  and  young  rossi  who  are  working  on  a  case  before  the  BAU  actually  exists .   towards  the  end  you  can  see  that  this  case ,   the  fact  that  they  never  caught  the  unsub ,   already  affects  him   in  a  negative  way ,   more  than  the  expected  disappointment  or  anger .   ‘in  a  headlock’  =  the  fact  that  the  unsub  from  that  episode ,   from  one  of  gideon  and  rossi’s  first  cases ,   is  actually  the  man  who  eventually  kills  gideon   in  his  own  cabin .
Tumblr media
𝙱𝙰𝙳  𝙷𝙰𝙱𝙸𝚃𝚂   ━━  @trialederrors i  feel  static  in  my  veins ,   every  second  of  some  motion ,   every  time  you  walk  away  like  if  i  close  my  eyes  we’ll  change  from  two  strangers  in  a  building   to  some  ghosts  that  only  fade  away  ━   smoke  can  clear  a  crowded  room ;   see ,   i  don’t  want  you ;   see ,   i  don’t  need  you  to  make  it  out  alive .   and  i  know  i  got  bad  habits  i  should  break   ( and  when  i  wanted ,   𝙶𝚄𝙽  𝚂𝙼𝙾𝙺𝙴  𝙲𝙰𝙽  𝙲𝙻𝙴𝙰𝚁  𝙰𝚆𝙰𝚈 )   and  i  know  i’ve  got  some  secrets  i  can’t  shake .
lmao  this  is  an  easy  one :   uhhhh  mainly  i  had  it  on  constant  repeat  while  keyboard smashing  at  ro  about  hotch  and  emily .   certain  bits  make  me  think  of  emily  struggling  with  her  whole  arc  in  s6  and  all  the  shit  she’s  done  with  CIA ,   the  BAU ,   et  cetera .
𝙳𝙾  𝙼𝙴  𝙰  𝙵𝙰𝚅𝙾𝚁   @   foyet   ( post ,  post )i  am  an  anti  everything  man ,   a  scab  on  the  lips  of  the  lord .   my  caustic  dismissal  is  all  i  need  to  get  you  to  fall  on  your  sword .    /    i  woke  up  today  with  a  gun ;   ignoring  your  history  is  killing  your  past    /    the  bell  has  rung  on  the  titans ,   everybody  give  us  some  room .   your  so - called  set  of  fake  morals ,   “i  can’t  tell  the  difference”   is  that  an  excuse ?
‘the  titans’  =  the  team  /  profilers ,   how  foyet  constantly  mocked  what  they  reported  about  his  motivations  and  his  behavior .   when  he’s  stabbing  hotch  and  hotch  warns  “my  team  [will  find  me  and  kill  you]”  foyet  gets  pissed   and  snaps  something  along  the  lines  of  “your  team  only  found  me  because  i  let  them” ;   ‘i  can’t  tell  the  difference’  =  when  hotch  beats  foyet  to  death ,   his  ‘excuse’  is  protecting  his  son ,   “““excuse”““  because  when  he’s  later  asked  if  he’d  kill  doyle  in  season  6  to  save  emily   ( and  his  team )   he  says  no ,   that  even  then  he  can’t / won’t  “break  his  oath”   &   in  my  opinion  it’s  almost  like  an  emphasis  on  the  fact  that  hotch  and  foyet  both  knew  each  other  better  than  anyone  else .   killing  foyet  was  personal .   if  they  were  to  investigate  foyet’s  death  they’d  profile  the  brutality  as  “overkill”  considering  he  continued  to  beat  him  after  the  actual  killing  blow .   he  didn’t  stop  until  he  was  physically  pulled  away .   “overkill”  is  a  sign  of  rage ,   yeah ,   but  more  like  a  type  of  rage  that  pushes  you  beyond  your  usual  “boiling  point”  into  something  you  can  barely  control .
𝙰𝙱𝚂𝙾𝙻𝚄𝚃𝙴  𝚉𝙴𝚁𝙾    ━━   @  the  team𝙼𝚈  𝙼𝙾𝚄𝚃𝙷  𝙸𝚂  𝙰  𝙶𝚄𝙽  i  can  shoot ,   i  can  show  you  the  truth  and i  don’t  need  a  reason  to  lie  to  you .  no  pun  intended ,   no  punishment ,   if  i  offended  you ,   you  needed  it .   ideas  are  the  bombs  in  your  mind ,   a  fissure  in  time ,   if  you  don’t  have  a  weapon you  can’t  have  mine .
‘i’m  not  the  devil  but  i  won’t  be  your  hero’  is  admittedly  edgy  but  whatever ,   i  like  it .   the  team ,   like  emily  mentioned  above ,   struggles  with  their  own  definition  of  ‘morality’  thanks  to  all  the  shit  they  see  on  the  job .   and  i  think  that  is  meaningful  itself ,   how  they  repeatedly  crawl  inside  the  minds   of  some  pretty  fucked  up  individuals  to  try  to  make  sense  of  the  chaos ,   but  then  turn  around  and  try  to  have  relatively  normal  lives .
