#but at the end idk

[spinningbagel]

Feels like I've yapped about this one too many times already (in the discord server, I've literally said nothing about it here) but like,,, it's such a fun thing to talk about,,,

Anyways, said topic is that One is a terrible, terrible person. I mean, sure it's obvious given the whole 'war criminal' thing he's got going on but like. Still. He's horrible actually 😭. Given, the things he did weren't fully on purpose- but that's not an excuse!!!! His actions and the things he did/does can't be excused because of that!!! One has killed and traumatised so, so many people. The punishment he got was light!! Light people!!! Being locked up was the tamest of punishments he could've gotten- he probably should've been executed if I'm honest!!!

And yes, he realises that what he did was terrible and makes an effort to redeem himself that doesn't really change the fact that the damage is done? Like, he can apologise all he likes but it's not going to fix what happened. And even then, when he's working on redeeming himself he'll still fuck up and he's like "oh lol sorry my bad" like AAAASRGEH shakes and rattles him around my fucking god dude.

I love him, truly I do but he's such a terrible person 💔

Anyways, my parting gift

Hot take and not to be a killjoy or the shipping police but people treating Viktor or Jinx's aroace headcanons as if they were canon is not the revolutionary take people think it is.

Headcanons are always all right but we have to acknowledge that they are somehow damaging when they apply to stereotypes. It might not be the case for everyone but most of the time people unconsciously assume that disability/mental illness=asexuality. These headcanons erase the freedom of attraction from people who are already seen as unable to have sexual/romantic experiences/desires, when it's completely untrue and harmful.

You can headcanon Viktor and Jinx as aroace, but I have seen people changing their minds once Viktor is no longer disabled (s2 with all of his other forms) and Jinx is no longer as mentally ill (alternate universe Powder). And it speaks wonders of how people see these characters.

"I never thought about Jinx being able to feel romantic/sexual attraction until s2!" To believe she's actually only capable of that when she's not "damaged" is incredibly disturbing. Especially since Jinx has always had a bit of a flirty personality too.

"I've always seen Viktor as asexual, I don't know why!" That's fine. You can headcanon him as ace. But I believe there is a reason behind it, most of the time, if for some inexplicable reason the "vibes" of the disabled character are making you think he's ace.

I say all of this being aroaspec myself, by the way. Headcanon all you want but going to people's posts commenting how "it's weird for you that they have romantic/sexual plots when they're clearly aroace" is not a win at all. It's a headcanon, after all, and it should be treated as such, and that's fine. But it also is damaging to spread stereotypes like these.

Of course the disabled character is asexual. Of course the mentally ill character is aromantic. It's not as revolutionary as you might think, tbh.

Fandom is not activism and it's all right to have any headcanons you want BUT some of them are filled with damaging stuff and perhaps we should look into ourselves more before treating these assumptions as something canon.

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."
