#but no character death just so y'all know ;)

[beeceit]

I hate it when an event that requires SO much context gets removed from that context and misrepresented as their entire character. I only have the context for the Tim bit so that's all I can talk about, but I get SO heated about this

Tim, having lost almost everyone in his life, desperate and terrified and suicidal, charged with protecting an innocent civilian, and trapped between both the league of assassins and the council of spiders chose to blow up the bases. There is NO confirmed death toll of this, and even if people died because of this it is NOT in Tim's typical character. This is Tim pushed to the absolute brink and doing the only thing he can think of to escape. Same with how he ALMOST killed Boomerang and didn't. At a very specific time in his life, in a very specific mindset, dealing with very specific trauma and loss and having the mother of all identity crisises, Tim did do that. It is not who he is as a whole at all times. Tim did not enjoy doing it. Removed from that very specific situation and state of mind he would NOT do that.

He literally chose the Red Robin mantle knowing he'd be acting against his own morals, and he didn't want to taint Robin with what he felt he had to do

He values life SO much. He believes in redemption and justice and doing what's right. Tim cares about what Bruce thinks about him with every fiber of his being, even as he's plummeting to his supposed death he's comforting himself with the idea that Bruce would be proud. But even outside of that, his own No Killing code is just as strong as Bruce's! Bruce didn't teach him that, Tim came to Bruce with an ironclad moral code of his own. It's what got him the job in the first place, he care so so much!

I promise y'all, Tim isn't just computer nerd Jason. My man literally tried to kill himself to prevent a version of himself that was a murderer from existing

i hate those kind of posts like actually ☝️ tim is a murderer and a terrorist! his kill count is etcetcetc! (damn that one issue of red robin forever) or dick would kill for his loved ones no doubt and hed look so cute doing it that everyone would forgive him! Because no they wouldnt like their moral compass dont work like that at all. they have their own values and also batman would be mad and it would destroy them

Was thinking about that one post where somebody said that Kaidan moved on easily after Shepard's death and Its been bugging me for some time so i need to rant about it

On the Horizon encounter, there are many lines that alone give away the fact that Kaidan in fact did not move on, like "thinking you were gone, it was like loosing a limb" (basically saying that he felt like he lost a part of himself after Shepards death), + "I wanted to believe the rumours that you were alive" (giving delulu king 👑) or most importantly "I moved on , at least I thought I did" proving that he tried to move on but just couldn't, because of the impact Shepard has left on him when he was still alive.

Kaidan not joining Shepard or being mad about them working with Cerberus doesn't mean that he moved on. Just because he didn't want to go against his own morality and priorities doesn't make him the monster some of y'all make him out to be, quite the opposite, it proves that he's his own person living by his own rules, and won't let go of them that easily, instead of just taking and going with whatever is thrown his way (which some of ya'all expect from him).

Shepard joining Cerberus was too much for him, even though he missed them, he couldn'tve just moved passed that, not then at least, but that still doesn't change the fact that he didn't move on after Shepard's death, romanced or not.

No hate to the op but damn if you don't know shit about a certain character, dont make analysis on them dawg 😭

Mission Accomplished [Caleb]

Content: Major Character Death, Angst, Written Before Caleb's Official Release, Reader-Insert

Pronouns: None

Note: I see Caleb within the childhood friend trope. Anything outside of that makes me uncomfortable, so I won't be engaging with it in any sort of way.

Reblogs: Let me know that you enjoy my work and want to see more, so don’t forget to like and reblog (and comment in the tags. I love seeing people’s rambles in the tags)!

This work’s concepts, plot and original characters are my own which means I do not allow any sort of creative theft nor do I allow my work to be entered into any sort of A.I. bots. Thank you for respecting my space and boundaries

Wanna support me? Here’s my Ko-Fi!

“It doesn’t have to be this way!” You had your gun aimed at him, body trembling in palpable fear.  

Caleb frowns. This was the hunter of the UNICORNS Alpha Team? He holds back a sigh of irritation. Caleb is privy to most things concerning you, and your placement in the UNICORN Alpha division was no feat made by your own merits. You were placed there by EVER’s discretion, and it is honestly a miracle that you haven’t died already. 

This time he does sigh. You truly are pathetic. He wonders why he truly was created if this was all he ever had to go up against. 

You were nothing more than a failure. 

Your voice cuts through his thoughts. “Please, Caleb!”

Your plea makes him pause. He takes a moment to think about what was most likely your very simple thought process. 

You probably were caught up in all the memories of your time together. For you, they were special, to him, it was nothing more than a mission. You were caught up in a false him that never truly existed, and now you were begging for him to “go back to normal”. Unfortunately for you, while you were dying and being sheltered by memory lost. He was forced to live out this hell. 

So, even if the two of you did run away together it would just end up with you both being dragged back to hell to do this damned song and dance all over again. However, only he would be alive for the descent. And what would be the point of that when he has two functional legs to carry him there?

BANG

“Subject 001 has been terminated.” 

“Copy. Bring it to the drop-off point.”

Caleb lifts his gaze from your lifeless body to the cloudless sky. He shifts his cap forward to shield his eyes from the onslaught of rain.

A mirthless laugh bubbles to the surface. “It’s a terrible day for rain.”  

I had a whole other homecoming fic planned, but his trailer blew that shit straight outta the water, so y'all are getting this instead :)

I hope this hurt.

Feral shit incoming later at the usual place tho lmao

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

i've actually decided that anyone who's made any disaster twin fanwork that includes dialogue along the lines of, "i can't survive without my other half," or "i'm not a whole person without you," or "life isn't worth living without my twin," owes me $50.

Lemme tell y’all natm was a franchise tailor made for my dramatic poetic tragedy obsessed, chewing on symbolism and theatrics, unyielding autistic self

[mad-hunts]

hey, y'all — so i know how random this is, but a while ago... i was thinking about how barton might react to dying because this man has been in a LOT more situations than the average person where he was near death. and the first thing that came to mind was that he would actually probably come to peace with it rather quickly — even though i know that'd likely be more a little unexpected coming from him. but IDK, i think i might've been onto something with it, though.

so UHHH like this post if you'd like for me to post an essay about why i think that / j (LMAO nooo, it wouldn't be a whole essay, but it would likely be a long meta... so like. if you do want more details and/or would be interested in seeing something like that, then i humbly invite y'all to like this post if you want to so that i know you are 👉👈 though there's no pressure OFC)

[airenyah]

where's that one tumblr post that asks what the thing is that you're "well actually" about bc that post has crossed my dash multiple times and every time i was like "i'm sure there is something for me too, i just have no idea what it could be" bc like. i know now. i know what it is. it's joong and dunk. joong's and dunk's acting skills specifically, actually

[aithusarosekiller]

Mainly aimed towards marauders fans bc I see a lot of people being really aggressive about it there but:

💫 Not liking fanon characterisation doesn't make you better than the people who do 💫

Someone changing a character to fit how they enjoy seeing them isn't a crime bc it's a fictional character

Making a character queer in canon content isn't ruining them and it doesn't make the writing cheap or stupid

You can address harmful stereotypes without being a bitch and shutting down entire perceptions of the character because it isn't usually the older writers and artists creating flawed presentations and it's certainly not all of them, you're just being dramatic and trying to demonise an exploration of a character that you don't agree with.

Reminder that a lot of fandom creators especially in the marauders and ofmd fandoms are minors. Young teenagers writing in their school break don't need to be screamed at and called homophobes or racists for making accidentally including a stereotype into the character, they may appreciate being warned about the misconceptions so they can correct them...but berating creators and saying they're all fucking everything up and destroying everything is not helpful; it's mean and they aren't going to take your advice, they're just never going to write again. If you don't like the characterisation just fucking ignore it like the rest of us.

You're a dick 🥰

hey uh. so i'm doin a dark urge run and decided to romance minthara and everyone was right this woman is insane and i now have a fuckin carnal need for her

[anthromimicry]

OH, speaking of misao, while i'm still here... let me talk about how she was introduced to playing instruments + why she still does it often to this day. as you may know, misao's mother — kaiyah — did suffer from mental health issues, and in ancient japan... they were very behind in terms of providing the appropriate care to those who had mental health concerns. while doing research on it, i also discovered that it was also unfortunately HEAVILY stigmatized and thought of to be caused by spirits and/or brought about by spiritual means. and so kaiyah would often have to find ways to try to help herself cope with her symptoms; one of which turned out to be music. and misao remembers which instrument kaiyah used to play vividly because listening to her play music, as well as sing, was one of the ways that they'd bond despite them having a rather complicated relationship. kaiyah used to play the biwa, which is a plucked string instrument that sort of resembles a guitar and whenever she'd play, kaiyah would sit cross-legged. and this wasn't only because that was the traditional way to play the biwa, but so that misao could sit in her lap as she strummed the instrument. and misao also remembers kaiyah just looking at her with this look that was just made up of pure happiness during those moments. which, although they were very ephemeral, kind of helped her pull through her childhood because they gave her hope that maybe she could be like this all the time at first; and then upon discovering that although that might not be the most realistic thing to think... it helped her pull through because she would believed that she rather hold onto whatever scrap of happiness she could get, rather than try to forget these experiences with her mother, because of the fact that they hurt her so badly emotionally sometimes. and this was because she wanted to help kaiyah the same way that music seemed to — she just didn't know how. but as the years passed, misao came up with the idea that maybe learning to play it could be a method in which she could assist kaiyah with feeling more... at peace, i guess you could say, and so she did.

though misao only got to play the biwa for her mother a few times before ryu was born, and whenever that happened, everything changed. but of course... none of it was his fault. all those good feelings that misao had associated with the biwa now had a sort of bitter taste to them because of kaiyah's neglect towards ryu and once more, although this conflict was a lot more nuanced than it might've appeared because of her mother's illness, misao felt this strong urge to just completely smash her biwa into pieces because she felt so bad inside. though, honestly, misao is glad that she didn't today. because it honestly is one of the few things that she still has around that reminds her of kaiyah, and although she literally cannot play it because the last time she did, misao just sobbed all the way through it — she was able to pick up another instrument that vaguely reminded her of the biwa and allowed her to reconnect with that old part of herself: which would be the guitar. but it is a very private part of herself that she doesn't reveal to a lot of people. she'll really only play the guitar around people she really trusts, as whenever she's playing it, it's almost like she's playing to her mother again.

[terukotime]

so i'm currently working on a predictions post for the alt fangan cast's talents, but in the meantime, gotta say, it's really making me want to finally show off my fangan that i've been working on even though i only have 6 of the characters drawn and don't even have the whole plot outlined yet 😩😫

[bibiana112]

There's nothing wrong with people having their dearest most specialest blorbo be Eric ztd it is unironically good for the ecosystem and I always love seeing the different perspectives from other fans but what I am here today to ask is why is no one like that about Mira. whatever happened to feminism.

Character Development: Prologue

Chapter 1   Chapter 2

You know those dreams we all have where we're falling, or you're in a car and there's a bump that jolts you awake? That's what's happening to me right now. my whole body shook, all my muscles tensed, and I felt like i couldn't breathe. But when I sat up, it was all just a dream. I was sat in my bed, of course, with the only sounds being the fan and my deep breathing. I must have had a nightmare I couldn't remember because, for some reason, my room felt eerie. I'd lived alone for some time now and was used to waking up alone, but tonight I was just on edge, I wonder what I could have dreamed about. Nevertheless there was no point worrying about a dream. Shuffling around for a minute, I finally got comfortable and fell back to sleep.

Again. My whole body convulsed awake. Out of agitation, I squeezed my eyes shut, and gripped the bed sheets. Why can’t I just stay asleep? Not willing to risk waking up fully, I kept my eyes closed and gave into the overwhelming grogginess I was feeling.
