i have spilled so much ink about gawyn but really i only need 2 passages to explain why he is Like That
1. My blood shed before hers; my life given before hers...That was the oath he had taken when barely tall enough to peer into Elayne's cradle. ... Gareth Bryne had had to explain to him what it meant, but even then he had known he had to keep that oath if he failed at everything else in his life. (LOC prologue)
2. From Morgase, Queen of Andor, to her beloved son, Gawyn. May he be a living sword for his sister and Andor. (ACOS prologue)
like yeah, no wonder he does what he does in AMOL. people will be like "gawyn is so stupid for not thinking about the fact that his death would hurt egwene" as if he's being maliciously stupid and careless, when in fact, he has such little self-worth that he genuinely does not consider himself a valuable human being whose loss would impact anyone or anything. his life given before hers. a living sword. this has been his mindset since toddlerhood and nobody ever noticed it enough to try and counteract it. gawyn is exactly what rand would have been like at the last battle if he hadn't had a mental health intervention.
#SAD ABOUT GAWYN HOURS#god i would die if the show portrayed the oath-swearing onscreen as a flashback cold open. it is THE formative event for his character!!#gawyn trakand#wot#wot book spoilers#gawynposting#gawyn and rand really are foils in so many ways#the way they are objectified and viewed as weapons (by themselves as well as by others)#but gawyn has been raised that way since birth whereas it's a new thing for rand#so rand has childhood friends & family & memories to remind him that he IS a person. gawyn doesn't.#his own mother taught him to view himself as a sword for others' use (but she wasn't being malicious that's just what being a royal is)#and then if you look at some of gawyn's behavior it's SO similar to how rand behaves#what really struck me is during the coup when gawyn shuts down and becomes very cold and emotionless#and min and readers are like 'oh my god he's a sociopath'#but he's actually deeply traumatized and shutting off emotions as a coping mechanism as we've seen rand do COUNTLESS times#but we're in rand's head and we're not in gawyn's so we have more sympathy and understanding for rand#'how can the other characters who don't have the benefit of seeing inside rand's head misinterpret his trauma behavior as assholery?'#well

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"
I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming
#Kind of like some post I saw a long time ago talking about how even the meanest shittiest most difficult to get along with#elderly people or whaever still deserve to have some sort of systems in place to support them so they're not just relying on the#grace of relatives or etc. who may not be able to deal with them. Not saying that I'm like mean and cruel or anything#but the fact of the matter is in most social situations either I am compromising or the other person is. Not in like an ~`ouuu im so weirdd#nobody willever understand my quirky swagg hee heee~' way but like a.. Just factually the things that make me happy and comfortable#are often incompatible with people. The way I communicate and process things is different from the way other people do and that#is always a barrier. I cannot have ''easy''' interactions. Even with 'understanding' people there is nearly always a significant#amount of effort. You can't walk into a group of people and then be like ''okay you guys all have to wear#masks and you also cant play music too loud and also we should communicate turns of speaking very clearly so group conversations#arent too stressful. and also i need this and that and we have to do this and that and '' etc. etc. You CAN. And some people will#go along with that. but they will ALWAYS secretly resent you for it. You will be the one person they're relieved to not have to be around.#theyre glad when you dont show up since they can go back to doing things however they want and not masking and all these boring#annoying things. OR you can say none of that and just deal with the loud music and the talking and the unmasked people. but then#YOU'RE compromising. and no matter how nice they are it's exhausting to be around and youre just further alienated#while in the presence of people and uncofmrtoabel the whole time.#Which I'm not saying the only form of community is a group setting specificially but just giving that as an example lol#I just wish there were a better option than ''well learn to socialize normally or just suffer then'' . Which I know is not what people are#saying. I guess I just always feel a bit scared when 'community is the answer'. Since its not like 'oh im just socially anxious and need to#get out of my shell~!' or something thats really that remedy-able. It's like.. my mostly unchangeable physical health issues combined#with the mostly unchangable literal way that my brain processes sensory informationand other things means that interacting with#others in a normal and easy way is incredibly difficult and often exhausting especially to maintain in any longform fashion. So then#when it's like ''the answer to staying safe is to maintain longform social connections!! :3 just reach out!!'' then.. ermm... O_O#also I'm not even one of the cutesy shy emotional hermits that's nervous. I'm the Bad Stereotype emotionless robotic cold seeming#looms in the corner of the room type of thing so people have less pity on you in that way. -_- ANYWAY gghj#I need like.. a designated social representative or something.. When I did work in that bookshop forever ago they gave me a#person who basically was just with me to help communicate with others on my behalf and supervise me and stuff. I need that.. Some#more extraverted person I can latch onto and they can maintain the Social Support Network for me and I can just be their +1 to all#of the Social Things and community. I have helpful skills I can contribute to other people and stuff it's just like.. I cant socialize lol#I cook food or something for you.. then you keep me in contact with Community.. a deal. (but then what about when I'm too sick to#contribute? as is often the case. there's not much place for people like me in communities sometimes i fear.. sigh.) ***

“How many tears I saw him shed over the violence of the revolutionary government and over the prolongation of a dreadful regime, which he only aspired to temper with institutions.”
Once, when scrolling through the frev tag I saw a letter posted by @orpheusmori (if memory serves correctly) that was written by a friend of Saint Just. It’s lived in my mind for quite some time, and the final line is one that can really put my mind in a chokehold.
So, as a result.. I had to draw this. Why is it that I always draw when I need to be sleeping…
#it is 5:30 am at present#I need to be asleep.#but no instead I’m drawing sad artwork about dead French men.#I am tired and so is my art tablet.#frev#french revolution#claws out for the main 5#louis antoine saint just#saint just#I always get struck by how people who knew him personally describe him#to quote a text to my friend….#thermidorians: he was a heartless cold emotionless monster who killed people especially if he didnt like them!!#people who actually interacted with the guy especially outside of work: are we.. are we talking about the same guy??#whAt KiNd Of SpIkEd FrUiT pUnCh ARe YoU oN????#if you get the fruit punch reference you have been here for a while.

If I had a nickel for every time I shipped a sad, self-destructive alcoholic with a dry-witted no-nonsense lieutenant with a gun want to dismantle the militant non-democratic government they work for set it fantasy Europe... I'd have two nickles but it's weird it happened twice
#also theres a scene where one of them holds the other while they bleed out#and one of them is a fantasy East Asian guy who grew up mostly without his parents#the lieutenant is often misinterpreted as cold/mean/emotionless by fans but actually cares deeply despite trying to hide their emotions...#im onto something here....#disco elysium#harrykim#fullmetal alchemist#royai#history repeats itself#time is a fucking circle#also roy is bisexual because I say so. him and harry can be fucked up bisexual cringefail guys together <3#riza and kim would absolutely be friends... I can see it so clearly#this is such a specific post idk if it resonantes with anyone else but LOOK#I HAVE THOUGHTS#ugh its so long since ive had to use all of the fma tags on my posts.....#fma#fmab#fullmetal alchemist brotherhood#OH ALSO#the fantasy asian guy has a silly little moustache at some point <3

idk if i ever said this publically btw but when game of thrones last season flopped and everyone hated it i was CELEBRATING. because i mean the show was always flawed right but a few seasons earlier they butchered my sweetiepie sansa completely as a character and since everyone except the faithful sansa warriors hated her no one gaf. so i was rooting for its downfall and the dissapointment of everyone else from that point onwards because i was like 17? and full of hate. though i mean if it happened again now id probably also celebrate but more so just bc its funny and not for pure hate. though id still enjoy it because well a rose by another name would still have hater tendencies
#the showrunners when a woman characters whole point is that she doesnt let her abusers turn her into a copy of them and chooses to instead#hold on to her kindness and softness in a world where those traits are looked down upon and cause her to be abused: Hmmm what if we did the#age old Woman gets brutalized and turns into a cold badass emotionless bitch who says Its good that i got abused bc it made me stronger 😎

“How did this all get so fucked up?”
#gifs#the quarry#kaitlyn ka#dylan lenivy#emma mountebank#supermassive games#some context to my previous posts. i’m just on a kaitlyn kick rn#like. ok.#it makes sooo much sense why kaitlyn said what she said. she’s a person who looks at things in a more realistic / pragmatic sense#for her. knowing that the death was quick definitely brings comfort. when on the other hand. that’s just not something emma wants or needs#HOWEVER. the fact we only see this sort of moment from the token asian girl. aka ppl who are typically stereotyped to be emotionless and-#-cold. which is like the basis of kaitlyns character. it’s a bit :/ to say the least#and i can say the same thing about emily too lol supermassive fuck you#i have more solidified thoughts on the matter but rn i’m just. rgrrr#anyway😊#my kaitlyn tag#my TQ tag#my gifs#mine

everyday i go online and get exposed to the worst takes imaginable and everyday i have to fight the urge not to kill
#according to the fan base malenia has one of two personalities#she’s either a cold bitch with no feeling or emotions#or she’s a raging karen who screams and shits herself when she doesn’t get her way#i guess it depends on what sites you go on#because youtube and tiktok have the worst takes on her character holy shit#just straight up vile over there chief ngl#people either demonize her to the extreme or dumb her down to this emotionless grunt who only does what her brother orders her to do#they act like she can’t think for herself and has no personality outside of Sword™#elden ring takes still continue to amaze me in 2024#i can’t wait for this dlc haha#‘every opinion is valid’ no some of yall are stupid and definitely not valid#i just don’t understand how they can look at this incredibly calm and composed person and then say she throws tantrums when she can’t win#lmao that’s YOU brother#i just know when people say that it’s because that’s how they act when fighting her#malenia is such a chill person#she speaks in this measured tone even during the second phase cutscene#but yea even when she fights us she doesn’t act like some erratic lunatic#she fights with such precision and grace#long ass rant i'm sorry#malenia: *is calm cool and collected* the fandom: she rages and screams and shouts and rages and cries and RAGES

it actually rips my guts out and feeds them to me how badly charles wants dethklok to like him. like it could have been a setup where he doesn't really care and just wants the money & power managing the band affords him but he Does Care So Deeply. the getting sloppy scene is basically him begging them to say he's cool like that other guy they hung out with. dear diary my spiritual saviors called me a robot and it kinda hurt my feelings :( considering going on a massive bender about it
#ignore me#metalocalypse#charles foster offdensen was created in a lab specifically to appeal to me and i'm mad about it#oohh normal looking guy in a suit and tie who can secretly fight? and is desperately dedicated to a group/cause?#and presents all cold and emotionless but has feelings way deep down? and a facial scar?#and he died and came back to life. just shoot me now

honestly. this year wasnt great for me. a lot of betrayal and whatnot that i wont get into. but i guess i just wanna say. to the people whove stuck by me: thanks. it’s appreciated, even if i don’t show it that often. and to the new friends who were not weirded out by my constant mental health problems: thank you as well. i dont know how to end this im not good at sentimental shit
#talking tag#its hard to be sentimental when you dont always have. well. sentiment#but theres a lot of things about me that would scare a lot of people off. cold. emotionless. direct. npd. psychosis. sys#and ig it just kind of shocks me that i have actual friends who care about me#should it? probably not#but it does.

I love chapters with Harmony in them because the stakes are always extremely high
#Pendant of hyacinth#Harmony#You'll either get a cold manipulative bitch#An emotionless husk#Or someone who you're going to cheer for because she drags the abusive bf

"if i can't be loved i will be needed" x "all my love turns violent"
#//;this is what tvlock was like nbefore tv chilled out#//;girl was so ... angry#//;thois is wjy theyre toxic yuri turned good#//;because tv was so very violent beforre. she was afraid of the world and the chance of getting hurt again#//;so much so she wanted to hurt others . because then she won't be the one hurt#//;eventually though she hurt herself in the process. because if she can't hurt others she will at least hurt someone#//;then lock appeared and all of her anger intensified because. what. why does this guy stick around#//;she made sure she would be unlovable and untouchable and frigid and cold and emotionless#//;and lock didn't make her act like all that. and that made her SOOO angry#//;because for years she had been told she was unlovable and the only love she ever experienced destroyed her from the inside#//;and she was taught to love is to be hurt and to sacrifice yourself#//;and there lock is . someone who isn't hurting her#//;she thought he hated her at first because he wasn't doing what “he's supposed to do” and she hated him in return (is she stupid)#//;she eventually learned that to love isn't to hurt and then she chilled out#blorbo: tv#//;eehlp

man. ik chris patton retired ages ago but if that movie gets a dub whoever replaces him as sousuke is going to have hard shoes to fill
#astra rambles#personal#this isn't JUST me being change-averse im wary that a va might lean to hard into either#''the cold emotionless child soldier'' aspect OR ''the clueless guy who has no idea what's going on ever'' aspect#there is a line right in the middle and if they hit that line. i will die happy.

now that my post about breaking down one's idea of what a woman looks like has circulated for a while (thank you all), i'm now going to make this post, as i do not want people to derail that specific conversation, nor this one.
we also must break down our idea of what a man looks, acts, sounds, behaves, and presents like.
men are not cis, het, allosexual or highly sexual beings, tall, muscular, strong, hairy, deep voiced, broad chested/shouldered, emotionless, mean, aggressive, unemotional, uncaring, distant, cold, stoic, heartless, standoffish, bread winners, bad/absent fathers, macho, obligated to work despite disabilities, or obligated to be "the man of the house."
men are people. first and foremost.
men are allowed to express just like anyone else. men do not have to be pillars of their communities. no obligation. men are allowed to be disabled, tired, weak, emotional, caring, compassionate, asexual, aromantic, friendly, warm, in need of support, neurodivergent, mentally ill, chronically ill,and have personality disorders. men have their own struggles and we have to stop telling them to "suck it up" and "move on" and "pull yourself up by your boot straps".
we are forcing men to do this: this is a cage of our own design.
once we dismantle this idea of how a man "should" be, once more: we will move past radfeminism, patriarchy, trans/androphobia, and fostering a culture where this is an acceptable way to treat men. it's not. we must allow men to be diverse. we must allow men to be who they are on the inside
#lgbtqia#lgbtq#lgbt#queer#trans#transgender#gay#transmasculine#transmasc#trans man#trans men#nonbinary#non binary#ftm#genderqueer#genderfluid#multigender#bigender#enby#queer men#queer men of color#bisexual men#gay men#gay man#bisexual man#trans guy#aromantic#asexual#aspec#aspectrum

One thing which genuinely bothers me is Annabeth's perception in the fandom. How she's seen as this cold, stoic, emotionless, reserved and intimidating girl. When in reality, she's a character full of love.
Annabeth, who immediately cried and felt attached to Cerberus after playing with him for a few minutes because she wouldn't get to play with him again.
Annabeth, whose deepest desire, which the Sirens lured her with, is saving Luke and having a good relationship with both her parents.
Annabeth, who believed in Luke's goodness, even after all the countless terrible things he did simply because she had faith in his humanity.
Annabeth, who cried in Percy's arms before entering the labyrinth and refused to reveal the last line of the prophecy because it said to lose a love worse than death and the idea of losing any of her friends is too painful, heartbreaking and worse than dying.
Annabeth, who kissed Percy before parting with him in St. Helens because if he's going to die, she at least wants him to die knowing she loved him.
Annabeth, who took a poisoned knife for Percy during the war because she'd rather die herself than let him die.
Annabeth, who convinced Luke to switch sides by reminding him of the promise of family he gave her. Which in turn, influenced Luke's decision to end himself to destroy Kronos. Hello, she saved the world with the power of love.
Annabeth, who spent months after months losing sleep and searching desperately for Percy when he went missing.
Annabeth, who kissed Percy to eternity in public at their reunion, not caring what anyone is going to say or think. An asteroid could've hit the earth, and she wouldn't have cared.
Annabeth, who told Percy “I love you” when falling in Tartarus because if she was going to die, she wanted them to be her last words.
Annabeth Chase is a sweetheart, who has always felt things deeply and she's so full of love. And I think it's time we let go of the “cold-hearted annabeth” headcanon because it's not true, that's not her.
#LISTEN#MY GIRL IS A SOFTIE AT HEART OKAY#her ‘cold exterior’ is just a facade she puts up to guard herself bc of everything she went through#percy jackson#pjo#pjo live adaptation#percy jackson and the olympians#hoo#heroes of olympus#mark of athena#house of hades#pjotv#pjo disney+#annabeth chase#percabeth
