y'all ever think about how rhys, despite being the atlas ceo, is forever marked by hyperion by his helios and elpis tattoos? cause i sure do

[rotisseries]

my favorite thing about mha has got to be how you can't tell if the writers are aware or not that the setting is in fact a corrupt police state

It just occured to me that the trailer scene with Vox going "They're gonna fucking die!" is most likely him watching the exterminators come for the Hazbin Hotel.

Can't wait to see TV-man's shit-fit when they do not, in fact, fucking die.

Damn, I was kind of against that "Enemies to Lovers" loveline from the beginning, between the second couple Ja Yeon and Bok Gyu Hyun, because it was more "Abuser and Victim to Lovers". I don't like that forced sympathy for someone who deliberately tried to hurt someone with their words (over a hundred times). I don't think that shit should be romanticized.

But from the beginning, it felt like the dude never took it seriously, his main focus was hiding he's rich. The second time they met, he even snapped at her, like, did you think you'll apologize once and she'll forgive you?! Oh you're having a bad day? What about all the bad days you gave her??

And the volunteering, he's not even doing it genuinely, lying, buying machines, making his secretary do more than half the work (on his day off may I add, which is just abuse of power as well).

I understand the show is trying to make us sympathize with him cuz his father is hard on him since youth, but that doesn't excuse you from wrongdoings, that you should genuinely repent for.

She's so sweet, and I really don't want her to end up with a dude who'll only repent once he falls in love with her, instead of the secretary who buys her food, remembers what she liked, goes out to meet her, believes she's a great writer.

I don't think any victim of verbal abuse would fall in love with their abuser, when said abuser genuinely don't even realize what they did wrong.

ffxiv garlemald discourse is so funny because people will go "ugh people just cant stand it when things aren't black and white" and then you look at how the empire are portrayed in stormblood and shadowbringers and its like hm. that seems like a pretty intense and accurate display of violent imperialism to me! Wow I wonder why people in this day and age may find it hard to feel sympathy for them or even hate them on principal. god its such a mystery.

the games like 50/50 to me on how it tackles these themes because I actually like the garlemald arc in EW, I think it has a lot of horrific and powerful scenes depicting how self destructive fascist propaganda and beliefs are, but I also think it doesn't go far enough on some fronts. the garleans' xenophobia is most notably and obstacle to getting them to accept the contingent's help, which is what they're there to do,

but there's never an admission of harm from any garleans on the uuuuuuuuh massive amount of war crimes the nations around them are still suffering from they're just kind of like "we misjudged you...but you actually wanted to help us all along" like yeah thats great now can we get you all some deprogramming because you keep talking about returning to your prime and glory days and I think we need to unpack some stuff you really SHOULDNT return to. im not even really talking about EW proper but the patches where things are a bit more chilled out and people are recovering.

It feels like they wanted to have their critique of imperialism and also have things end with the beauty of human connection and reaching out and these things just don't mesh well because hey a lot of your modern day audience is not gonna like having to treat people yelling xenophobic things at the cast and your character with kid gloves after you showed them hours and hours of the awful things these people's beliefs have done. especially in the present day hoo boy.

one thing i found extremely funny about veilguard is that there's an obvious angle to make you try and trust solas or feel sorry for him leading up to the big act 3 plot twist of his betrayal. and i get why - it's much more emotionally resonant if you think well of him or trust him or count him as an ally and then he betrays you. but. the ENTIRE GAME my rook was beating his lil drum and going: HE! IS! THE GOD! OF LIES! AND TRICKERY! and keeping him at an arm's length and rolling his eyes when people sidled up to him and went "wow solas actually seems SO regretful huh... seems like his heart might have been in the right place maybe..."

so in the end when solas betrays you (not once! but twice!) it was literally just my rook looking into the camera the office style going SEE? SEE????

"Bill can't be redeemed." Probably but I'm gonna do it anyway. "Bill should stay as far away from the Pines as possible." Probably but I'm gonna put them together anyway.

May I be ugly? Because I'm gonna be ugly.

Way died as he lived: useless, helping absolutely no one, and completely unnecessary. 😭😭😭

Man really got shot covering Babe when Babe was already behind a statue and covered. If he had just stayed behind his staute with Pete, Kenta still would have stabbed Tony like two minutes later and then everyone would have been fine. Way could have been having OMG WE ALL SURVIVED AND BABE MIGHT NOT HATE ME ANYMORE sex with Pete, but his stupid ass ran out from behind his cover just to get shot running to Babe who was already covered. He didn't even protect Babe because Babe was safe behind the statue! Tony clearly didn't spend any money or time educating the kids to not be fucking stupid. lol

RIP Way. In another life you were big dick Pete's house husband and princess because you stayed your ass behind your cover like everyone else did.
