I'm so so tired of seeing ppl label Astarion as "sex-averse" or some version of ace only because of his trauma responses. His trauma and his wariness around sex is not his identity. It's not an inherent part of who he is, it is an sad reality of something that was done to him.

You are not your trauma, you can and should put in the effort to work through it, like Astarion does. Eventually he does work up to a point where he's the one asking for sex again and isn't shy about it.

You take away personal agency from him by saying that he is what his trauma responses are. Defining him by the things that were done to him really grosses me out.

I get so infuriated when people reduce Jason's ultimatum to "trying to force Bruce to kill someone to prove his love". The dishonesty of it. Remove all context from the situation and make it sound like an insane inhumane choice. I can do that too actually. Batman is a rich kid who whales on poor and mentally ill people instead of going to therapy. He colludes with cops to bypass due process and collect evidence illegally. He creates child soldiers and makes them into canon fodder for his obsession. It sounds pretty indefensible when you remove every single context and convention that makes a story work doesn't it? Almost like you're only willing to extend the in-universe rules to the rich white manbaby and not the child whose death he was responsible for, huh?

Also? Moral absolutism is harmful and egoistic. You shouldn't kill people, not even criminals, of course not. But that doesn't mean refusing to kill in any situation whatsoever is the moral choice. There's a difference between killing to protect and killing to avenge. Between killing an active threat who will definitely escape and slaughter a family and killing one who is safely contained. Any rule that's taken purely prescriptively and without regard to the individual context of the choice is simply dogma. Especially if the role you have voluntarily taken on requires the willingness to do whatever it takes to do your fucking job. That's why morality isn't fucking black and white.

That's the crux of it for me; why I take this defense of Batman's choices so personally. I don't trust people who see the world in such a black and white way (this includes Jason, who is exactly as myopic as Bruce, but happens to be right about the Joker imo. Fortunately he's a fictional character and also a kid who has not yet had the opportunity to grow, unlike Bruce). I don't trust people who think morality is about a set of correct judgements rather than the process by which you arrive at said judgements. I don't trust people who won't fucking choose. Inaction is complicity, bitch. The consequences of your choices exist and fall on other people regardless of your refusal to take responsibility for them. Bottomline – if your version of "mercy" results in the death and suffering of other people, maybe consider that you're the villain of the story.

It's not a direct one-to-one since Moe is firmly on the side of The Power of Friendship, but I do think it has the exact energy as The Devil from The Bible (Shadow fandub) when pressed a little too much and a mask slips

I really hate how much people are in a constant of defense when they talk these days. I feel like I don’t see one post or video that has a topic and then says “ignore ____” or “don’t even mention how ___” and it has nothing to do with the actual topic

mr. pants-on-fire!

[counterspellthisyoucasual]

It’s all “what about the kids” “think of the children!” But when the children are growing up into an unliveable world, where they will have to work and rent for the rest of their measly lives? There’s no outcry, because that benefits them.

vanitas doodle?

uh well

Saying that if you understood spanish would read my rambling is one of the nicest things I've ever been told so, thank you, really💕

Sooo retro and voice for hedwig?

Aww thanks for taking the time to let me know, that’s so sweet! :D And thank you for the ask!

Retro: What was the first CD they ever bought with their own money? Do they still have it? Do they still like it?

Hmmm so I’m not sure whether this would definitely be hir first, but I’m going to say Rascal Flatt’s album Me And My Gang. I could see Hedwig playing it loud when hir parents weren’t home and belting along to What Hurts The Most and crying hir eyes out without being able to identify why. It’s a breakup song, but for Hedwig it really worked with hir pain at being home alone so much (“What hurts the most / Was being so close / And havin' so much to say / And watchin' you walk away” and “Not seeing that love in you / That’s what I was trying to do”).

I feel like Hedwig still has a copy of the album, even if it's not the original. The original probably got destroyed scratched up or stepped on or something from hir playing it so much and not having the careful hands of an adult yet. I'm not sure whether ze still likes the music... probably? Probably one of those things where you don't listen to a song for five years and then play it fifty times in two days.

Voice: What does their singing voice sound like? Do you have voiceclaims(s) for them? 

Yessss YEEESSSSSSS. I’m so glad someone asked me this one! I don't know the technical terminology for this stuff, but hir voice is very smooth and evocative and has a lot of range in the notes ze can hit. I like to imagine ze gives people chills. The other day I spent so much time trying to figure out Hedwig's voice, so this is very specific, but I imagine hir voice as some combination of:

Adam Lambert (early years), like in his cover of “Ring of Fire”

Cher (recent years), like in her cover of “Fernando” for Mamma Mia

and Dimash Qudaibergen, like in his cover of “S.O.S. d’un terrien en détresse”

they should invent a way to ask if you have felt suicidal or have had suicidal thoughts at the doctor when they ask where you'll answer truthfully. i am fine and i always fight the suicidal thoughts but i went to the urgent care the other day and they asked and i said no no nothing like that. but i lied! of course i have! i've been vaguely fantasizing about getting hit by a car the past few days!!! i truly hate suicide for Reasons, it makes me incredibly sad and distressed, and for myself sometimes i don't even realize it's started creeping into my head again (i'm fine i genuinely promise) but like. as much as i hate it, it's there in some of my friends and me and i have to wonder about the fact that "yeah, but doesn't everyone at least a little bit?" isn't the right answer.
