Some Multi-fandom thoughts before I go to bed

I hate when characters get attacked for having normal reactions to things for their age (especially female characters bc they get it the most imo)

Like Korra or Gwen Stacy or Jinx or Tsireya or Meelo etc etc. Have any of you considered that they are still maturing and won’t act like an 800 year old that has experienced everything to ever be conceived. All of these characters were teens or LITERAL CHILDREN who have been put in situations not meant for people their age.

Korra is responsible for harmony between the spirit and physical realm and was thrust into a world she didn’t understand after being ISOLATED for 16 years! Oh but aang this, aang that. Aang was also a child who was thrust into a role he didn’t want and all of his mistakes are understandable and valid and we all understand that. So why does Korra get so much hate?

Gwen accidentally kills her best friends and ends up being hunted by her father. So she runs away and when she finally finds a friend she can’t stay in the same universe as him AND THEN when she finally finds more people like her and a way to see her friend again she has to keep it from him at all costs.

Jinx was being constantly traumatized during her entire childhood and she had a father that instead of trying to get her help (or as much as he could) turned her into a literal psychotic weapon. I mean really, her parents died, her first adoptive dad died, she thought her sister abandoned her (also Vi’s reaction wasn’t good but it was understandable) The only role models she had after the age of like 9 were not good people so ofc she’s not going to be shitting cupcakes and rainbows

Tsireya lived a peaceful life until Mr.Sully brought war to her people (not criticizing him) The only time she probably ever heard about war was from stories that she probably thought was legend.

Same to Lo’ak he probably thought all those stories about his dad were just funny little stories until war was dropped on his door step. On the Lo’ak vein some of yall act like you’ve never been a teenager. Ofc he isn’t going to a rule follower goody two shoes bc he’s a teenager. Also Neteyam wasn’t a complete rule follower either . He might’ve been better but they still broke A LOT of rules BOTH OF THEM. And yet I only see Lo’ak hate. And saying Tsireya was manipulating him is so??? Wym she’s like 14 dude she’s not manipulating anyone. It’s obviously shown that they like each other and she knows that he feels like a cast out so she letting him know he’s not alone.

Don’t even get me started on Kiri she’s fr just a teenage girl

And meelo is just a little boy, he’s going to be a little silly and wacky. But people are WAY to comfy hating on/being violent to children online so I’m not surprised

Ohhh, I'm rereading Mystra's entry in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide... and this detail:

This means Gale was punished for trying to restore and preserve what he thought was a lost piece of Mystra's magic. Gale being Mystra's ex-lover put aside. He as her follower, she his goddess, was punished for attempting to do the one foundational rule of her faith.

I'm seething and so sad at the same time.

Edit: I used the word punish loosely, as in, toxic/abusive people will take any small mistake or action and twist it into something they can take advantage of. This post was also largely from the stand point of a toxic deity rather than a toxic partner, but both takes are valid here. Especially with the, “you didn’t stay compliant so now I’m giving you the silent treatment” part of it—from a god and a partner perspective.

I love that Isabeau is the one to bring up the "what do we do if you die" conversation cause its a very good insight to his character at the very start of the game. Isabeau is practical, smart, and loves everyone dearly and wants to know how to help them when shit goes sideways. He's the one to ask about Bonnie too, which is a delightful read on how he thinks because everyone else shuts that down instantly as a "That wont happen and cant happen" but we see later in the game it can happen which is such a startling thing for a game to do but justifies the foreshadowing of Bonnie can die what do we do if that happens? Isabeau, despite everything, is also the one who gets to the heart of the matter even if its not something must people are willing to talk about. All without it being part of his friendquest, thats just him naturally. Which! Says so much about him and how he is! His character when its not about his relationship with Siffrin is a very intriguing thing because it feels like a very classic hard intellectual stance that's been softened after many years of learning to better communicate healthily with others. A reflection, if you will, of Odile but in a very drastic direction. I find him fascinating and I also want to scoop his brains out and study them under a microscope to see all his little brain thoughts.

let's kill the idea that someone's opinion, knowledge, or lived experience is more or less valuable based on how old they are, yeah?

Jason: I'm sorry, my dad tried to do what to you?

Nico:

Nico: Nothing. I didn't say anything.

Percy, climbing in through the window: HE SAID THAT HE TRIED TO KILL HIM WHEN HE WAS A KID!

Nico: Oh my God, Percy, where the fuck did you come from?

Percy: From outside, obviously.

Percy, uncapping Riptide: Anyway, Jason, would you like to come with me to embark on a quest to kill your dad?

Nico: Percy, no!

- yes, it’s cute

- no, it’s not

- i don’t care/i’ve never seen people do this

I desperately wish Succession was about Shiv and not about Kendall. I don't care about father/son dynamics. I care about a woman shaving away each piece of herself in an effort to fit into a mold she will never be allowed to inhabit.

Parts of it are about Shiv, sure, but it always, always, always comes back to Kendall. I'm not compelled by his story, I'm not interested in him fumbling each and every time.

I wish she could walk away from it. I wish I didn't understand why she continues to press and hope and try. I wish she could have stayed in DC and pursued a life that would have let her be happy.

I hate that she can't be real with Tom. I hate that Logan was right about her decision to marry him. I want the world for Siobhan Roy, and I know I'm never going to see it.

the fact that people are blaming the (federal, I know some state wide politicians have been more passionate) democratic party’s tepid defense of trans rights for harris’s crushing, landslide loss is so fucking vile. as far as I know harris didn’t bring it up on her own at all, and I know sure she went out of her way to dodge the question when an nbc interviewer directly asked if she believed trans people should be able to receive gender affirming care. she could not have possibly been more lukewarm on the issue - it’s clear that what the people pushing this rhetoric wanted (and continue to want) is outright bigotry instead.

while, to quote a post I saw on here (I don’t remember op, im sorry) this loss “is a rorschach test for people’s own political beliefs” and there will be analysis for years to come over why exactly it happened, as for now it seems the most likely reasons are the economy, harris’s shit campaign, her lack of time due to biden’s late decision to drop out, her refusal to distance herself from a wildly unpopular president, and her decision to court the mythical moderate republican rather than her own base.

im not naïve, i am well aware many americans are transphobic, even ones who wouldn’t consider themselves as such, but to claim that transgender care and acceptance was a major enough issue that 8 million voters ditched the democratic party between 2020 and 2024 is nakedly hateful. it’s an obvious ploy by transphobes to take advantage of a moment of panic and use it to push their own bigotry, hoping that scared people desperate for answers will embrace it. it’s disgusting

this was gonna be a reblog but i decided to not ruin the op's fun:

i'm always open to educating people on the hybe boycott if they are genuine about learning and actually wanna help but there's a group of people that no matter how much you say it won't change their mind and truly i hope for these people specifically is that at some point they will feel guilty and realize that supporting hybe with money was a bad decision

Do you think if I wish hard enough my mom will get electrocuted by a string of Christmas lights and just go up in a cloud of smoke. It’d be a Christmas miracle

got upset by a stranger's comment on the internet once again, i really shouldn't be here

once again i am being subjected to "educational courses on generative AI" (lengthy advertisements that the higher ups want us to watch so they can say that we are trained in AI)

there needs to be more one-sided enemies to lovers content. by which i mean one person HATES and the other is like “aw you’re adorable + utterly nonthreatening to me *enrages them on purpose*”

OR!

One hates + has the power to actually make the other’s life miserable but the other one is like “well I admire you a lot and I know I can prove you wrong so *tries really hard and stubbornly shrugs off the criticism/mocking/cruelty*”
