#another lense

[cherry-pop-elf]

To offer a counter argument, you are also applying normal human morals and perspectives onto a society that has very different view points. Not saying you aren’t justified in this argument. It’s a fair argument. They did something wrong, over an issue so minor. But it’s also important to look at another lenses

This is a wizard society. They don’t have ‘muggle’ morals if you will. They can casually cast spells that can end lives in a blink. They can cast hexes that can hurt for years to come. Wizard society is shown to be extremely violent. So what is deemed evil and cruel by our moral code, is seen as another Tuesday for them. They grow up in a society that is very violent, and unlike our own. Such as being casually taught potions to kill and hurt people for extra credit. Or being taught how to take care of dragons. It’s a violent, dangerous, very grey, society

Just a perspective I wanted to throw into the ring. Saw this cross my dashboard, and figured I would give my two cents on the matter. It’s hard to judge them with our morals when they live in a society that isn’t the same as our own. Especially since their moral code allows very dangerous, violent, and lethal things as casual mannerisms

Friendly reminder that Fred and George literally tried to murder another student for trying to take House points from them

Like I know we apparently don't give a damn about NPCs in Harry Potter, but it's insane to me how no one acknowledges how fucking vile the Weasley twins were

(unrelated but it's also very funny how self-righteous Fred and George acted over Percy being a "git" and how they were convinced of their own moral superiority because they were on the good side, when I'm convinced Percy would never have done something so horrible)

Same goes for Harry and Ron mind you. The level of apathy and cruelty they demonstrate is CRAZY like they legit do not give a fuck. And yeah, I wasn't much better than them as a teenager when it came to people I didn't like, but surely that is something that should be addressed by the narrative?? By anyone? Hermione gets like 0,5 brownie point for suggesting that maybe they should tell someone (YES??) but considering she does jackshit about it that doesn't exactly endear her to me

Despite how many times Slytherin is said to be the evil house while Rowling glorifies the Gryffindor House (and she absolutely does, there are many examples in the books), the murder attempts between the two houses have been pretty one-sided (Fred&George to Montague and Sirius to Snape, not to mention the Weasley twins and Sirius were both 100% unapologetic.

Edit: yes, I was intentionally and graciously omitting Harry's attempt towards Draco in HP6 because even though using an unknown spell was unbelievably stupid, Harry had no idea Sectumsempra would do that and he felt awful about it + Draco did try to Crucio him. I'm watching you, though, Harry. You got over it a lil' too quickly when Ginny defended you.)

Well, Crabbe did try to kill the trio in HP7 , though 1) it was in the context of the war, they weren't exactly students anymore, but most importantly 2) the event is treated with the appropriate amount of horror for the situation

I think it's really fucked up that no one seems to find it a problem or even remember it but hey that's just me!

Charles‘ jealousy of Monty is so interesting, especially when viewed through a platonic lens. Charles love of Edwin isn‘t romantic, but they are very much each other‘s persons, their best friends, never to be separated. (I mean Charles literally gave up his afterlife for this friendship).

And seeing that someone enter or inch close to another important relationship (especially romantic relationships which are sadly commonly valued as more important) produces such a fear (whether sensible or not) that one is going to lose that person, that important relationship.

Obviously Charles would never have said anything, bc Edwin was happy and willing to try new things for Monty and interacts with things he thought to be humbug (astronomy) (Growth which normally Edwin also just experienced bc of or with Charles), but it must‘ve been so scary and his jealousy is sooo understandable.

One of the takes I've seen about Sphene is that her kindness is just a front and an act for her being evil - well she does attempt to kill a lot of people, but that kind personality is still not a lie, she is super good-hearted through and through and also capable of incredible ruthlessness if she believes it's for the good of her people, those things are not mutually exclusive. Would someone who secretly had a nasty personality and was only faking nice delete her own conscience and kind memories to make sure they wouldn't get in the way of her goal?

I wonder if some of the difficulties in fan interpretations come from her gender, being a female antagonist carries it's whole set of issues different from male antagonists. Yotsuyu's story, the story of a vengeful, unrepentant female villain, was not handled very well; while Meteion and Sphene, who are portrayed as emotional, tragic villains, still get some vitriolic hate.

Let's not forget that even though their personalities and everything else are completely different, Sphene is a sort of Emet-Selch "lite", with similar motivations of destroying other worlds to bring back her dead. If you like Emet but won't give Sphene the time of day, think about why - is it because her personality is more simple than his, or have you written her off as shallow because she's a woman in a frilly dress?

Michael seemingly has Alice in Wonderland memorized, so I know in my heart and soul that during her year without Discovery and the Federation when she felt so alone and disconnected from everything she'd ever known, she recited it to Book and put her little anthropology hat on explaining all the old timey/Earth things he wouldn't understand about it

uuuhhh so the ADHD has been ADHD-ing...

I could rant like. A lot about the HPD & BPD coding here, the very obvious codependency (especially on Capochin's end for that one) but I'll leave that for another time / see if anyone would be interested in that ... I do think they'd qualify as pretty decent rep for untreated / undiagnosed for that

Anyways - GGG fandom, this is my application to join y'all /silly

I have a hyperfixation on trauma & mental health too, and will likely dive into that with them at some point. Analysis and stuff. I mean I kinda already did in DMs to someone but shhhhhhhhh, I'd need a proper script to make a post about it.

I would also would have doodled Patty bc I love them a ton, but I'm NOT confident enough yet in the way I draw these lil guys. Patty will get a proper artwork when I figure out how to translate the Bizzyboys into my style in a way that I like. I swear.

[antlered-vixen]

i read under that feanor pic some say you irl look like that????? the people need to know is that true bc i'm lookinggggggggg

Oh Jesus fucking Christ this is escaping containment? Listen I already have ten people in my life NOT letting me live it down, but I swear to GOD I was not intentional about it. I don't even know what I look like, in my brain's eye. I'm NOT some "kinner" I BEG. It's so bad that I have my peeps still responding to selfies with that CURSED painting I regret painting it SO much it's an inside joke.

i absolutely despise online fansigns but junhan is looking even more anime character than usual and i'm taking it very poorly

[comradecowplant]

omg is "vegan" wool & leather often made of plastic???? i've never heard this, can anyone tell me if it is made of oil?????? is it (and only it!) made of plasoiltikblasticfossilossilpetroil?????????????? damn such a shame that vegans and their desire for animal material alternatives single-handedly invented the demand for fossil fuels, better pack it all in fellow vegan/vegan adjacent folks 😔

[king-spite]

genuinely believe that the only correct way to approach the whole marecal vs mareven deal is to adore all three of them with your whole heart. and see them as a trio rather than a love triangle. like sorry but if you don't lowkey fw all of them and like each of them as a character on their own AND accept the many layers of the relationship they have with one another you're not getting things right :/

[meatmunching]

I am once again very gently asking fellow Epic fans to not ascribe their characterization in the musical to their Odyssey counterparts. And maybe don’t call the people who remind you that “pathetic and uneducated” despite them giving you multiple paragraphs of explanation and historical context

[denjispinalcordsword]

All the bits for my new Chainsaw Man cosplay arrived today 🖤🖤

[krikidilly]

Crossover of Kizuki Eye and my SenRui Au (name still pending) but its just the boys forcing their way in to play with the baby

Its a very special feeling though, being witness to life.

Idk if this is me being soft or anything but I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one who finds the Izuku McDonald’s joke/him loosing his arms not funny.

It’s just really morbid and not in a good way.

I know Hori wouldn’t go that route because he’s not that bad at writing but the fandom is just so weird with Izuku.

Hi @palesweetscherryblossom 👋

yeah honestly I hate any gag that the fandom makes about izuku just because they aren't funny. This goes from the hospital bed x Izuku crack ship or the ongoing McDonald's jokes or the Izuku losing his arms jokes that included him twining with overhaul and miriko. Heck I even hate the jokes about izukus new haircut. Hell I even despise the little suicide baiting jokes that the fandom makes. They all feel like dark dry slap on the face humour.

Honestly it's bewildering how the fandom managed to turn all of izukus pain or hardships into little memes that become old so quickly.

Iam not sure whether I hate horikoshi for taking away Izuku's arms and giving us that horrible manga page or if I hate it more for him backing down from his decision and magically restoring them (almost realising he made a mistake).

I guess izuku is serving his role that hori created for him: a gag character within canon and fandom.

Okay, who is the brown-eyed character who is the reason behind literally all reddish-brown colored lenses being sold out rn? 😂
