oh my lord don't get me STARTED.

i cannot emphasize how hard i agree with this just generally speaking. ik this was mentioned, but something that just doesn't sit with me is that silver fox's character served to be something tragic for logan rather than with the intial intention to be built into her own character in any proper way. her trauma is inevitably treated as his, which is an issue alone without the racism being involved.

i'd like to add on that i feel this is an issue with rape culture in media, especially comics, in general. i hardly see any discussion on the topic even though it runs rampant in comics and often has this weird undertone of "this is here because this is one of the worst evils a man can do" while written by men.. usually poorly, at that. the implications alone disturb me tbh. it's tossed around almost as flippantly as a character trope and is either used for some level of shock value or just won't be taken seriously by any means.

additionally marvel has an overall issue with writing sabretooth as a character. there's no limit set for him and it can honestly make it seem like their writers just don't fully understand what they're doing..? is he the most disgusting, irredeemable man to walk or is he someone to hold sympathy and care for? sometimes it feels like the writing is very black and white... the fandom is, unfortunately, not much better. i'm not asking that sabretooth be a charity-donating saint who hands out hand-written cursive apologies to those he so much as bumps into. but at what point do we draw the line? why should i have any sympathy for a character who does just vile evils without reason? it becomes entirely pointless eventually.

if you need to resort to just throwing in SA needlessly into your story in order to write a "beastly" character, you are bad at writing. and if you are someone who feels the need to defend this concept or claim to not feel a particularly strong way about it, i feel like you aren't equipped to try and involve yourself in the first place, and that you need to stay in your lane; i see an unnecessary amount of people who will throw up their hands and go "w-w-well um!! EVIL characters do EVIL things!! heh.. you're just too sensitive... heh.." instead of thinking for literally two seconds about why someone might not like the way a topic is handled.

i don't think this is an untouchable topic to be portrayed in comics, but it'd be a blatant lie to pretend that marvel has a credible history of tackling this with care.

marvel, i think, to some degree understands that this treatment towards silver fox and her portrayals [bonus points for when she falls under the "exotic native girl" stereotype.. gags.] are, ofc and obv, not. good. why else would they repeatedly either not mention it, brush it under the rug, or even retcon it? i honestly just wish they had the capability of being direct with addressing this sort of stuff.

you should not need to have your hand held to understand why this concept as a whole, especially for characters like silver fox, is in poor taste.

im so anti “sabretooth is a sexual predator” for so many reasons.

mainly tho? is that the inciting incident for this part of his personality is such a typical stereotyped instance of trauma against an INDIGENOUS WOMAN. murdering her is bad enough, but at least that contributes to the narrative and fits his murderous behavior. adding on that he assaulted her dead body is just so unnecessary. indigenous people don’t exist to be assaulted for your entertainment, especially when that addition to the narrative wouldn’t even change the outcome of the story.

call me nitpicky but I hate the way we've ended up using -phobia ("fear") for "dislike", or for that matter "disagreement on moral grounds"

arachnophobia and xenophobia are in no measure the same kind of thing unless you start screaming every time you see an Italian.

This game is truly written by the kind of liberals who love to make statements like “I love animals more than humans” and the humans they’re always referring to end up being people of color. Genuinely what the fuck

the fandom’s characterization of peri becoming a father to dev will always be interesting to me because where it did it even come from ???

I mean in operation birthday takeback, bro CLEARLY did not care. He honestly seemed so disinterested and didn’t even care when they went into his dad’s private office by accident. He didn’t seem care or smile for his godkid when he was happy. Even got a little mean when Hazel made a nice wish for him with the rocket boots (“Well that should keep him entertained for about 10 minutes” or smth like that)

Lost in Fairy World he didn’t really seem to care either??? he really only just wanted his wand and to ‘look good’ in front of his godkid and do things his way without his parents interfering. Sort of like how a babysitter wants to look good in front of the family of the kid they’re looking after if that makes sense.

The only time we ever seen him actually care about dev was in the finale when he said that. But even after fairy world got turned to normal he didn’t really seem sad about dev??? he was just smiling after, seemed genuine too and not a fake one. Maybe it’s just me, but if I was a fairy and lost my first godkid, who took over my home, I would be doing anything BUT smiling, even if we won in the end. Peri doesn’t seem like one to hide his emotions easily either (maybe I’m reading into his character wrong)

You could bring up best of luck, which I would say is a fair point, but I’m going to bring back the babysitter/job synonym. Wouldn’t you get jealous of the person that stole your position or place in a work environment after you got fired?? Especially if your rival/enemy took that position?? I PERSONALLY don’t think the jealousy comes from a place of care, but maybe that’s just me.

It could honestly just be the fandom’s way of coping since Dev doesn’t seem to have any good people in his life after the finale, but why Peri? I mean if you really want to make one of the fairies a father figure to dev, I’d say the anti fairies more over are his family but that’s IF we have to choose.

Don’t get me wrong, I do think all of the peri and dev being a father son duo is super cute and heartwarming!! I love seeing all of the art and fics of that because it really is sweet :3 but to me, it just doesn’t really make sense and seems more out of character for Peri if anything.

He seems to care more about following Da Rules in my opinion. And while I do think it’s important to follow rules, especially when it comes to a job, you shouldn’t rely on them. At a job, you shouldn’t be constantly looking over rules to make sure you’re following them, you might end up tripping over yourself. That’s what Peri ended up doing.

If I assign the duo as anything, it would be the tired babysitter who just wants to get paid and the kid he’s looking after. A dude working a 9-5 at his job he couldn’t really care less about (dev).

I mean (only from his words) he wanted to go into the family business. Not because he genuinely cares for kids, but because it’s what his family has done. He’s treating godparenting as work, not stepping into a kids family and genuinely looking after them.

I do wonder if he would act the same way if he had an easier godkid.

BUT!!!! that’s just my thoughts. I’m sorry if I got anything wrong and feel me to correct me if I did !! Also if you disagree with anything that I’m saying, tell me why in either the replies or reblogs !! I would love to hear other people’s perspectives or opinions.

That’s it 😨 thank you so much for coming to another yap session and I hope you have a great day/night wherever you are in the world <3

Bones isn’t xenophobic toward Vulcans, he just roasts Spock, specifically, for being Vulcan the same way my siblings roast me for being gay. They’re both in on the joke, and if Spock asked Bones to stop, he would. Instead, this sassy motherfucker insults humanity as a whole and Bones’s abilities as a doctor in retaliation.

wait i feel like i Need to say something re: the kantbison bondage scene in ep3 part 4

i've been seeing a Lot of people be like "yeah no that scene was really off-putting idk ://"... i think that was the point?

neither of them are actually in the moment. kant is very clearly not enjoying himself At All, and bison is inebriated (and drugged???) past the point of real comprehension.

but that's the thing – that scene isn't about the two of them having sex. it's about them trying to desperately get their hands on what they really want.

the show's established that kant isn't into this stuff in the least (as seen post-fadel's confrontation at the tattoo parlor), but he's willing to suffer through it, to grit his teeth and bear through the quite literal pain. he's willing to do anything, as long as he'll finally be able to get the evidence he needs to be free of these things forever.

on the other hand, we've seen bison state over and over how much he's wanted to do all of this, how he's never been able to find someone to actually hold power over. and now bison – younger brother, "never allowed to make a real decision of his own for even a day in his life" bison – is finally, finally able to take control over someone's life; something that's meaningful, something that matters.

that's exactly why i'd argue that the entire scene isn't meant to be "hot" or "appealing," but rather unsettling and weird (especially with the constant cuts to fadel digging(?) mysteriously in a field, but that's a whole other thing).

TLDR; kantbison's first time may have been passion and lust incarnate, but this one is so far removed from that. because, this time, neither of them actually care about the sex more than about what it means – a means to an end for kant, and a first glimpse at unadulterated power for bison.

crazy when people are just so blissfully and self righteously unaware of how much it is not sunshine and roses being a trans man. absolutely insane when people say "when has a trans man ever been shunned from a space" "when has a trans man ever had to walk on eggshells for fear of being made an example of" "when has a trans man ever been/had to fear being raped/abused/abandoned/belittled/denied personhood for their transness" ME! me RIGHT HERE in my fucking real life. many many many others too. just because we're constantly silenced and infantalized and erased from the public eye doesn't mean we're not out here suffering. I'm sure it's not the same as the transfem experience. I know for a fact there's a unique kind of suffering in being in the bigots' spotlight. but you can talk loudly and angrily and righteously and exclusively about the mtf experience without slipping in a sly disgusted comment at other trans people or implying that the abuse we go through completely undetected and unacknowledged cannot exist. genuinely. stop fucking generalizing us as all little uwu discord teens with no problems in sight

[crazymecjc]

but can you imagine Jace from Act3 end up seeing Viktor from season 1 and BECOMING absolutely crazy, careful, obsessed with staying with him all the time/making sure he doesn't get evil/corrupted by the Hexcore and still with the knowledge that this man saved him countless times from death, that he chose him in all dimensions and possibilities and that Old jace from the past DIDN'T realize it.

HI ANON. IM IMAGINING ‼️‼️‼️‼️

i disagree with the "will graham is oblivious" notion.

no way that man was oblivious after he turned up to hannibal's office with his hair slicked back. no doubt before that he looked himself in the mirror and said "today, i use my sexuality as a weapon."

i think he knew hannibal was attracted to him in some sense, but i don't think he realized hannibal loved him until bedelia told him. i'm not sure will thought hannibal was capable of love, so he probably thought hannibal saw him as a fun boytoy, until season 3.

hot opinions straight off the stove! 🥘🔥

I hope the mouthwashing fandom gets over the whole hating on anyone who brings up Jimmy thing soon.

Dare I say he’s one of my favorite villains out of any media I’ve seen? He’s incredibly realistic and that’s what makes him fucking scary.

Yes he sucks and yes I would gladly kick his teeth in with my steel toe boots but he’s a very important part to the entire game.

Liking a villain doesn’t make you a bad person and I wish some of y’all would accept that

Your guide to living as a bkdk shipper post-431

1. Izuku rejected an offer to work under Katsuki as an intern. This wasn’t a rejection of Katsuki as a human or hero work or even being partners with Katsuki, just Izuku finally knowing what he is worth and asking for more

2. Katsuki’s “see ya” wasn’t a forever goodbye, but a comfortable “see ya later” in which he knows Izuku will be taking care of his business and working his way back around to Kacchan again

3. Katsuki basically told the car Izuku was his type then pointed out that Izuku was missing what was right in front of him, while the camera gave us Izuku’s PoV of Katsuki right in front of him, so do with that what you will

4. Izuku chased after Ochako to tell her he wants them to talk more after eight years of him basically isolating himself from everyone who wasn’t Kacchan, because he listened to Katsuki in the car and realized he needs to let people know when he cares about them, and we can 100% see this as a platonic-leaning interaction without stepping outside of canon (including the bro-hand-clasp)

5. Even if it’s not and they’re reconnecting to see what’s there, if the point of Katsuki’s advice was to get Izuku thinking about what he wants more, he’s gonna circle back around to Katsuki eventually. We have 430 canon chapters backing this up.

6. To reiterate: Izuku is eventually gonna be telling Kacchan how special he is to him too, we just don’t get to see it. 431 is the start of everything we ever wanted for Izuku: self- reflection, therapy, understanding his own emotions. Ochako was the first step in a long journey that, again, is going to end with Katsuki

Stay safe out there folks!! As far as I can tell MHA is still bkdk’s playground

also wasn't sure what to do with the lan simp brothers so i guess they can sit on the side

[baba-yada]

i feel like sometimes people treat Dimension 20 as a normal TV show, and not as a improvisational show. like it's an 100% scripted, written show, that 100% of what is said has a deep, intentional, serious reflection of who the cast are as people

like yea, analysis and breaking things down is hella fun, fascinating and engaging. but it baffles me when people assume things about the players themselves as people, from something they said in the heat of the moment, or as a joke

yes, i know that doesn't mean we can't criticize the things people say, bc implicit bias and blah blah blah- but i genuinely think people's attempt to turn every little thing someone did or said into a big bout of discourse is just so genuinely exhausting
