just saw people on twt getting mad that gale said a literal god wasn't good enough for him . i need people to understand that he didn't mean it like "I deserved more than a literal goddess" he meant that his actions were foolish and made it LOOK like he thought himself above one. that he should've been content with what he had, but felt he had to prove himself to her.
if you romance him he literally realizes that he didn't need to find validation in a god but within someone who understands humanity more than a god ever could.
please learn reading comprehension before making yourselves look stupid I'm so tired of this
#ALSO people saying that 'oh he had a literal god and wasn't satisfied' yeah lmao because she is incapable of compassion and genuine love#he literally admits that in act three. his own words#the gale slander is founded on stupid people not being able to understand how complicated this is#also yes gale DOES fall back into his power thirst in act three. because healing is not linear.#talking him down from killing himself doesn't mean he's suddenly better and over what mystra did#abuse survivors will often seek a way to gain power back. gale literally begins to resent the concept of gods and wants to destroy it#and honestly he's right. but dont tell him that#anyway gale deserves redemption#bg3 spoilers#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#bg3#baldur's gate 3#gale dekarios#six speaks

my sister and i just yapped for almost three hours and we were just talking about how genuinely weird people in fandom are surrounding characters who have explicit mental illness. like they can never ever be normal. there are characters who are romanticised and glamourised for their mental illness (eren. wanda. joker. kaneki. nico. almost any danganronpa/ddlc character). characters who are consistently ridiculed for their mental illness either because it simply isn’t getting taken seriously (reiner) or because no one takes the character seriously (armin). and there are the characters that get blatantly outright DESPISED for it (basil, harry potter, korra, gale, also eren etc etc). like yes im seeing a correlation but its still so astounding how selective people are about where they draw the line with mental illness and what traits they can accept.
#*like yes this can be about ootp harry but this post is ESPECIALLY about older harry potter from the cursed child#this post was originally gonna be about basil because damn he does not deserve the hate he gets#omori fandom PLEASE stop policing how children react to their own trauma PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEA#theres also definitely a gendered aspect to it cuz yknow for sure that catra wouldve been a poster child if she was a guy#+ annie leonheart & korra & katniss & aubrey & (controversial) akito. ppl like women spiralling into madness without redemption tho. hnm#all these characters need compensation for this its not even funny#disclaimer: this is not a criticism of the way each characters mental illness is depicyed but a criticism of fandom etiquette towards it#omori basil#harry potter#cursed child#aot#attack on titan#reiner braun#eren yeager#armin arlert#wanda maximoff#katniss everdeen#the hunger games#gale hawthorne#legend of korra#avatar korra#dc joker#kaneki ken#danganronpa#tokyo ghoul#nico di angelo#pjo#percy jackson#rewriting#yall when mental illness makes someone who is suffering so insanely a bit unlikeable: 🤯🤯

i would talk about harry potter on here but no one agrees with my headcanons i fear
#rose rambling#mostly bc i hc like 90% of the main cast as poc - neurodivergent - etc#mixed/arabic harry potter.... black hermione.... dyslexic ron.... autistic luna lovegood + neville longbottom.... the list goes on...#they're also all queer in some way#i enjoy harry potter not in the canon way but in the fanon way#GOD does anyone want to hear my character analysis'#i could write an entire essay on why draco (a literal child!!) shouldve been redeemed instead of snape (incel nice guy)#like draco is actually such a nuanced character#hes not an innocent sweetheart hottie whos done no wrong (tiktok characterization) but he's not like. fucking. idk. satan#i think he deserved redemption is what im saying#more than snape anyway#im more of a marauders person too#SIRIUS BLACK I LOVE YOU SIRIUS BLACK#i love them all#hp is precious to me in a “ive been obsessed with it since my formative yesrs and it is a comfort pieve of media” way#also this has to be said#fuck dumbledore

I feel like the concept of redemption/forgiveness in fiction is so fucking fascinating, especially with regards to who the fandom decides "deserves" redemption
#not fallout#kal talks#i saw a debate in an rdr thread on reddit about how just because Arthur was capable of being nice doesn't mean he deserved redemption#and i started thinking about like... what does redemption actually mean tho#in the end who is 'redeemed'#and what makes one person's redemption different than another's?

I redrew (and redesigned) my Portal boi because he definitely needed a refresh!
Sum details:
His mask broke during the long fall in Portal 2 but he kept it anyway
I'm going with the stupid "Portal 2 happens 50 000 years into the future" theory because it's complete nonsense and I fucking love it so, because he spent so long in the Relaxation Vault, he got very pale (he was already pale in Portal 1 but not as bad)
For the same reason, his hair grew pretty long (he shaved it after escaping)
He got the massive burn scar on his left arm from an energy pellet grazing him
Oh yeah, trans rights also
And I just realized that I never shared his backstory here so it's under the cut if you're curious!
In chronological order:
Mitch creates Aperture
He puts Ophelia at the head of the entire facility
Ophelia realizes that Pedro would make the perfect test subject so she wipes his memory -it's the first and only time that a full memory wipe is done on a subject- She then realizes that watching him test would make her feel bad so she gives him the mask to hide his face. That way, she can watch him test without any remorse.
After a few tests, she puts him in a cryo-chamber (because she wants to put him through much harder tests that have not been invented yet)
Mitch and Denny are (forcefully) hired as test subjects but are brainwashed. They are both put in cryo-chambers
Not long after, Ophelia decides to turn herself into an android so she can live forever and control the entire facility. The scientists warn her that this can cause severe memory loss and mild insanity. She does it anyway and loses all memories of her human life. She now has full control over Aperture.
Judging all the scientists useless, Ophelia floods the Enrichment Center with a deadly neurotoxin
Portal 1 happens
At the start of Portal 2, Pedro is woken up by banana Pedro (who is a core in this AU) who wants to help him to get out of here.
Basically the same story happens. But Pedro eventually encounters Mitch and Denny who try to take him down. He kills them in return (Denny didn't have his long fall boots)
They finally get to Ophelia. Though, contrary to Wheatley (who got corrupted by the mainframe), Core!Pedro was actually planning to take Ophelia's place from the beginning. He stuffs Ophelia in a potato battery (she appears as an hologram being projected from the weird eye/circle thingy on it) and sends she and Pedro down the elevator shaft
Pedro's mask breaks during the fall, which leads Ophelia to realize that his face feels familiar after they reunite
While going through old Aperture, Pedro and Ophelia learns the truth about themselves (thanks to all the pre-recorded messages)
The rest of the game happens pretty similarly, except that at the end, after shooting Core!Pedro into space, Ophelia tries to get Pedro back to testing (after all, he IS the perfect test subject). Pedro refuses and attempts to destroy her. He fails, but Ophelia gives up and lets him go as she does not want someone who will try to destroy her 24/7
Basically like in Blue Sky, Pedro ends up in a small town where the people help him back to full health. He settles here and eventually finds out he has great cooking and baking skills and gets his own little cake shop (I'm not sure I still want this to be the post-game for this AU but I'll leave this here anyway)
These notes date back to 2020 HOLY SHIT IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS
#My Friend Pedro#Portal AU#Portal#after escaping he gains some weight from eating too much cake#BECAUSE HE DESERVES ALL THE CAKE OKAY#he went through so much shit#and also UNLIKE in Blue Sky; Core!Pedro does NOT get a redemption#he does NOT deserve one#actually Pedro willingly let go of it during Portal 2's climax#fun fact: if Wheatley was there instead of the banana core; Pedro would go to the Moon to save him#because Wheatles is precious <3#you can find my old art of him by searching through the Portal AU tag on my blog btw!#anyway#toodles

Me, lying face down on the carpet: I don't know how many times I have to explain that people love characters like Steve Harrington and Zuko, is that they have done things that are bad. They have said things that are bad. Possibly reprehensible. Possibly violent.
But then. And this is THE fundamental aspect of them that you must understand, they realized they were wrong. They realized that what they did and who they were were not things they were proud of. Were not things they liked doing or wanted to continue doing. Were things that hurt people. They realized that they didn't want to be that person anymore.
And then they changed. They went and tried to apologize to those they wronged. They worked to fix what they had done or helped do. They made strides to be different from what they once were.
Zuko stood up to his father, he apologized to the Gang, admitted to them he and his people were wrong, and taught Aang Fire bending. He changed and he helped and he apologized.
Steve helped clean up graffiti, he went to Jonathan's house to apologize for the terrible things he said and their fight(and got dragged into monster fighting and saved Jonathan and Nancy's lives), he replaced the camera he broke.
They owned up to their mistakes and apologized and did their best to remedy them. The apology and the changed behaviour make these characters likeable. They have flaws that have glared but they have accepted those things, tried to do better than them.
I need you to understand that there are characters out there that do the same things but never apologize. When you question why someone likes character a but not character b, when character a has also done bad things, I need you to think about whether or not that character has apologized and since changed that behaviour and thus been sincere in their apology. That is why. No excuse or justification. Did the character apologize and change? Did the other not? There you go.
Me, sitting up with the imprint of the carpet on my face: Woah haha where'd that come from?
#steve harrington#zuko#atla#stranger things#meta#redemption#finda's rambles#listen im not trying to actually compare them im just saying people always question why the love for them#and its like ?? they changed??#frustrated when ppl act as though other charscters who also did bad but never changed are more deserving of love because#because canon gives them abuse but it never has them apologize for the abusing they do#like realizing you are perpetuating the cycle of abuse and ending it and trying apologize or mend things is powerful#but do not act like your blorbo did that when they never did. they were abused. that is sad. they did terrible things. that is bad.#they never tried to change away from foing horrible things. that is also bad#just because!! a charscter is abused!! does not mean they are not culpable for their shitty actions!!!#zuko was abused and he did shitty things!! the fact he was abused isnt the reason he was redeemed#he was redeemed because he worked for it. he broke out of the mindset that caused him to be violent and cruel#he apologized directly to those he hurt most directly. and he changed#azula didnt do that!! yes she was abused and deserves compassion but she was also murderous and would have killed her brother!#she had not decided to break the cycle!!#Billy was abused. and then he abused his sister. he was violent.#he would have attacked and potentially killed a thirteen year old black boy for being friends with his sister.#at no point does he realize those actions are unacceptable. at no point does he apologize. at no point does he change#just because he was abused and abandoned does not mean he was not responsible.

I'm once again on my I hate Bakugo train stay tuned for more rants. Or don't I do this for myself? The fact that people seem to enjoy it is just a bonus, lol.
Anyway, something that both canon and the Fandom have in common is that a ton of people seem to blame both Bakugo AND Midoriya for Bakugo's bullshit!? Like wtf!? I mean yes Midoriya can absolutely be unhinged in a fight especially if lives are on the line, but for fucks sake! Bakugo starts every single issue the two of them have, and Midoriya, for the most part, tries to freaking passify the asshole. How do so many people ignore that!? Are they stupid? Blind maybe!? And don't get me started on Aizawa. Is he a bad ass in a fight? Yes. Is he a good teacher, though!? Fuck no! Dude sees this explosive asshat try to kill his classmate on the first day and just tells him to grow up!? Uh, hello!? You expelled an entire class the year before why the fuck would you let a kid who tried to attack another kid in front of you off the hook!? What's the fucking point there!? That's villain behavior not heroic in the least. I don't care how much potential Bakugo has power wise trying to maim if not kill another student is expulsion worthy at the very least. And how the hell does no one see that Bakugo's a freaking bully!? He's constantly name calling and treating everyone around him like they're lesser, and yet everyone acts like he's God's gift to man kind. It's disgusting. Also, as I'm writing a fix it right now, I need some opinions. I'm planning on fixing Aizawa's behavior along with several other issues. I've had problems with Bakugo's special treatment being another one. It will be a TodoIzu fic because I adore them and want those boys happy. But my question that I need some opinions on is this. I have two different ideas for dealing with Bakugo as far as him getting expelled, mostly for drama but partially for catharsis on my end. One would involve the OC I'm adding as a fix it device manipulating the third round of the sports festival so Bakugo goes against Shinso and gets humiliated and goes on a violent rampage on live TV gets expelled and arrested for his stunt (I'm leaning towards this one because it's cathartic and I feel like it fits his character). Or having him get expelled after the battle trials as he should've been for using his gauntlet on Midoriya. But I'm not sure which people would enjoy more, so that's the dilemma. Opinions are welcome, as are suggestions if anyone has other ideas.
#anti bakugo katsuki#justice for midoriya#midoriya deserves better#horikoshi critical#Aizawa Shouta critical#why does canon obsess over Bakugo he sucks#Bakugo's redemption isn't real#Bakugo ruined MHA

#gravity falls#bill cipher#prince reve art#human bill cipher#my human bill is made to appeal to me and me ONLY lmao#i think its funny if the post canon forced redemption story everyone does makes him a babychild#bill himself is not a child but he has a childish outlook and also deserves to be the little hater#put everyone else in a position of power over him

dudley and his attempt at redemption
just imagine y’all
little dudley trying to play with harry and getting in trouble
the only time he would get scolded or in trouble was when he hung out with harry and when he was angry he never got in trouble when he took it out on harry (ex yelling or punching him in the arm) as a child
so he kinda just stopped being nice to him
once, he was so angry. he got home from school and he could feel his hands shaking and the rage bubbling up his throat. he's seven. then he walks into the kitchen and he sees harry. and he lets loose. he hits harry again and again and harry is crying and he doesn't care because harry is a freak and when his mother comes in to see what all the noise was all she does is scold harry for being so loud.
then she asks dudley if he feels better, and he does. all she says is “good im glad you got that out of your system”
so whenever he's angry he takes it out on harry.
then his aunt comes over and, having heard the stories of harry at school, laughs when dudley shoves harry so hard he slams into his cupboard door.
after that he hurts harry for fun. soon his friends join in. harry is a freak and he deserves everything after all he put dudley’s family through. this is harry potters punishment.
this goes on for years
when dudley is fourteen, he starts feeling a little bad listening to harry be beat by his father or seeing him dodge a frying pan for messing up breakfast
he ignores it. his cousin is a freak. he's weird and gets in trouble and isn't liked by anyone. he deserves every bit of pain and hurt because he needs to learn to fit in and be normal. then finally, his house might be peaceful like it is at his friends houses
when he's fifteen, he reads a story in school. it's about a boy who is hurt by his parents and there's a class discussion on the short story. his classmates keep saying that “no one should be hurt by someone who's supposed to take care of them” and his teacher tells the class that if that sort of thing goes on at home, it's classified as abuse and they need to report it
dudley is confused. his situation is different, he thinks. harry is a freak. but after that, he stops hurting harry for fun. it's lost all appeal.
he lashes out when he's upset. but he can't help but think of that dumb story.
then, the summer before he turns 16, a new girl moves to surrey. she's pretty, dudley thinks. he meets her. she's kind and makes dudley’s heart skip beats. he goes over to her house one day, to pick her up for a date. she calls her parents by their first names, and dudley questions her.
“oh,” she says, fidgeting a little. “my birth parents were deemed unfit to have guardianship over me. they're in prison for child abuse. so i'm being fostered.”
that explains her occasional flinches and panic attacks
it's explains why she's underweight.
so once they began to date, he noticed more and more about her. she had panic attacks a lot, there were certain phrases that sent her into a spiral. she fell asleep on him once, during a movie. she thrashed and screamed and sobbed in her sleep, and when dudley finally woke her up, it took half an hour to coax her into calming down.
she told him she had nightmares about her childhood. she was diagnosed with ptsd a while back.
that was when dudley dursley decided to protect this girl with all he had.
dudley hasnt hung out with his friends in a while. piers asks why at one point, but dudley just shrugs and avoids him more. the group stops talking to him completely when dudley punches one of them in the stomach. he’s not sure why.
so when harry came back for the summer, dudley saw the same things he saw in his girlfriend. he heard his cousin say things in his sleep, for them to stop or to “run cedric, run”
when harry was locked in his room without food or water, dudley snuck some in for him. he gave him ice packs and bandaids and tylenol when he was beat, and he didn't mention harry’s nightmares like he would have years before.
by the time the school year started, dudley knew that his parents hadn't treated harry potter right. there wasn't an excuse for him hurting harry even, and harry had been abused in the dursley home.
dudley threw up.
when dudley dursley was 17, his cousin returned to his house in a panic. he watched as harry packed everything up and begged the his parents to understand that there was a war, they're in danger, they need to go into hiding please for their own safety
dudley dursley was 17 when he last told his girlfriend he loved her but it was for the best that they broke up. harry wouldn't lie about being in danger, and the last thing dudley wanted was the sweet girl to be hurt again
dudley dursley was 17 when he moved away from surrey. he was 17 when he asked his parents why harry wasn't coming with them and they told him harry was a waste of space.
dudley dursley was 17 when he realized not even a part of him believed that.
dudley dursley was 17 when he spoke to his cousin last and told him “i don't think you're a waste of space.”
harry potter is 17 when he says, “thanks big d.”
#harry potter#abused harry potter#dudley dursley#abusive dursley family#dudley dursley redemption#redemption arc#he was a child#and that doesn’t excuse what he did#but it’s a reason#and finding the reason is the first step to healing#i don’t like dudley#but i hate his parents more#he deserves a chance at being good#he did as he was taught#BUT HARRY DOES NOT OWE HIM FORGIVENESS

Jeff is the only one acceptable to die#cause he’s so so pathetically in love with sharan and honestly good for him I would be too#that he makes the ultimate sacrifice for her to be okay again#and it would just a beautiful end#but with nat?#it would be a half assessed redemption arc because of javi to die for someone else#which is all well and good but it’s a shitty end to a shitty life and she does not deserve that!!!#not with everything that she has suffered and survived through! she made it out! she did amazingly well#and it would be so so tragic and devastating at the end almost as if to say that the only ending that someone like nat can have is death#and that’s just so unfair#anyway I’m only a bit passionate about this I truly do love her character it means so much to me#also if they make misty kill nat that’s a really fucked up version of Romeo and Juliet#can you imagine?#Misty having to kill the one person that for some reason believed in her and trusted her against the odds. and she has to sacrifice AGAIN
