No but I have a theory: Susan didn't stop being a friend of Narnia because she was bad or too haughty. She stopped because she was friends with a lot of theater people and either couldn't reconcile with the idea of her queer friends going to hell for being queer, or was queer herself. (You can guess which one I favor)

The death of her entire family in the accident didn't help and, for probably years and years, it pushed her away and she was very angry at Aslan/God. But many years later, she starts doing her own research and learns about things like the 1946 mistranslation of the Bible.

I feel like it would be a long hard journey for Susan and a lot of healing would have to take place. Most people don't leave religion because they think it's silly or childish, they leave because of trauma or because they see the contradictions between how they're taught to act and how people in the religion act. And coming back to faith is a deeply personal choice.

Yearly Reminder that C.S Lewis encouraged his fans to write fanfiction about Susan Pevensie becoming a friend to Narnia and reuniting with her family once again.

Literally inviting his fans to write Susan’s adult, angsty character development with a happy ending.

Do your duty fans. Write that fanfiction.

I have a question, is it wrong that I think that Dreamworks is dead? I hate modern Dreamworks because of movies like Puss in Boots 2, Trolls 3, and the Bad Guys, as well as the fact that DW fans have started doing awful things such as harassing Disney fans and employees as well as promoting homophobia, racism, and sexism.

Mogh took Miquella of his own choice

This is def an ok, hear me out, but...

I'm not trying to argue that Miquella didn't charm Mogh. But I will point out that in none of the trailers, nor the opening cinematics, does it ever say Mogh cut Miquella from the Haligtree. Gideon thinks that is what happened but here's the thing;

ALL NPCs are fallible.

This seems to be true of any Fromsoft title. The trailers do not lie, as far as I know, but you have to pay attention to where they cut the characters dialogue and where the pauses are. The best we get are item descriptions and as far as I know none say that Mogh took Miquella. That and I would argue any dialogue from NPCs within item descriptions are still fallible. They are taken from NPCs.

That and while I don't completely agree with this take, this Youtuber has several very good points as to why YOU are the bad guy in the DLC.

To be clear I do believe Ansbach is telling the truth when he said Mogh was charmed. BUT I believe he did so way later than everyone thinks. Even if he charmed Mogh before the Haligtree I doubt the charm was what people think it was. Remember all the demigods had interactions with each other but Mogh and Morgott probably least of all due to the who "being locked in the sewers" thing. I have another theory for this but I will stick to my first one for now.

So assuming that Mogh and Radhan were Miquella's first choice (which I don't believe was the case. I honestly think Godwyn was meant to be) how did Miquella end up in Caelid to heal Frejya after the Battle of Aeonia?

Below is my guess at the timeline of events;

-Miquella DID cacoon himself in the Haligtree

-He DID mean for the Eclipse to revive Godwyn, but in the Land of Shadow, not here

-Malenia was asked to fight Radhan and did so

-Miquella left the tree of his own free will (remember all we see in the trailer is Mogh carrying Miquella), but Mogh did NOT take him from it

-He went to Caelid to ease the suffering of those there

-Mogh was looking to create his own Dynasty FAR before Miquella entered the picture

-He saw an opportunity when Miquella was in Caelid, as it was close to Moghwyn Palace

-He either intercepted Miquella when he was in Caelid or in-between there and the Haligtree in the Consecrated Snowfields

-Miquella, having cocooned himself previously, was too tired to fight, and isn't one for fighting anyway

-> instead Miquella charmed Mogh to use the demigod's wants in order to get into the Land of Shadow. I truly think that Miquella was trying to become a god and ascend using the Haligtree, which we know he watered with his own blood. I believe he was trying to use the rest of his body to bring the tree to life and die in the process to enter the Land of Shadow. That failed and it's why he left. He knew he would need to find someone to help him. But hearing of the battle of Aeonia, left to find his sister and to help those in need. We KNOW that is well within his character to try to help even if he over-extends himself. So, when Mogh, who probably could not be reasoned with to let the young Empyrean go, said what he wanted, Miquella agreed, probably under vague conditions, to let Mogh be a part of a new age. Mogh did not realize what he agreed to completely (I am NOT saying Miquella is a complete 'good guy' here. Please keep that in mind) and took Miquella to Moghwyn palace and helped the Empyrean cocoon himself again. THIS is when Miquella had interactions with Ansbach.

After Mogh created his "bloody bedchamber" Miquella, whether conscious or not, refused to interact further. It specifically says so in Mogh's remembrance. I believe he did not want this. It was only the last chance he had to get to where he wanted to be. And he was making the best of a bad situation. No response does not imply consent. Mogh didn't beat allegations, please stop with that. He may have been tricked, but honestly I think a child skirting the truth in self defense is way too common in systems of abuse. Just admit that your fav is problematic and move on.

Speaking of Mogh being a fav;

I seriously feel sorry for the guy. He was locked in the sewers as a child. All he wanted was love and affection. Unfortunately he was desperate enough to turn anywhere for that. And when the Formless Mother reached out he accepted, probably without thinking. Then he went on to take power because "if education isn't liberating the oppressed can only dream of becoming the oppressors" as one of the people I listen to in Elden Ring likes to reiterate. And I honestly believe it's true.

Did Miquella have any right to control Mogh? GODS no. That is horrible considering what Mogh went through. Was Mogh just an innocent victim at that time? Also no. Dude had a blood cult and an entire swimming pool of blood outside his house. He was a terrible person. It's a shitty situation all around. There are no "good guys". But do I think Miquella deserves all the flack he gets? Definitely not.

There is no proof Miquella can charm someone from afar. The Charm would have had to be in person. Otherwise he wouldn't have had to be close to us during the final fight to charm us. And even if your argument is he can't charm the tarnished from afar but others are fair game. Why not take Ansbach and Thoillier out of the fight if they get caught? We know Fromsoft will pull shit to make fights harder. I feel like that is a mechanic that totally could have happened. Either way, there is no way to prove Miquella can charm from afar and in fact evidence to the contrary. He couldn't charm Radhan from afar. He would have had to do so earlier. And even then he only seems to use his charming abilities after someone has already agreed to help him.

Do I think that justifies his actions? Not in most cases. And not with Mogh. But I do think he didn't want to use Mogh in the first place. I can't place a ton of blame on someone who was likely using his only out in self defense. And again this is a CHILD. It's reiterated repeatedly Miquella has the body, and understanding, of a CHILD. Regardless of how old he is. And he and Malenia are still the youngest of the demigods (as far as we know).

So yes Mogh is still problematic and you can still feel for a problematic nuanced character. I don't see why every character has to be perfect for you to be ok with them. The entire point of media literacy is to look at what the story is trying to say.

And what is the story trying to say?

That whenever you help the NPCs in the DLC (meaning Miquella's group of misfits), you make things harder for yourself in the end. You have to fight them. The only two who will join you are Ansbach (who again is a BLOOD CULTIST WHO MURDERED PEOPLE) and Thoillier, the biggest SIMP in the lands between who clearly has an unhealthy obsession with St Trina. To the point where she doesn't talk to him. She talks to YOU. YOU have to choose if you will relay those words to him. And if you do? He dies in the final fight. Your actions in trying to "help" him cause his death. Which is common in Fromsoft games but still. Ansbach shows up if you provide him with the knowledge and location of the fight. Thoillier only shows up IF you go out of your way and honestly out of obsession. Like he clearly would rather drift off to forever sleep than fight.

When you help the others you make the final fight with Leda harder for yourself. And you have to be a real jerk to Moore who honestly just wants acceptance? Like he barely pushes for it. All he does is take your guidance, make his decision, and never blame you for deciding for yourself.

Now Leda. Leda is also an obsessive radical and that is made pretty clear. And Hornsent is... idk how to say this without getting banned. A theocratic fascist murderer? Have you read the caterpillar mask item? He's one f-ed up dude. But still.

Through Gameplay the game is telling you the more you help these people achieve what they want, an Age of Compassion, the harder you make it for yourself, who is standing against that age. Is that really a good thing? Are you really being a good person? Because when you choose to be shitty, yeah things get easier, but is that the right thing to do?

It's complicated and like all the other characters I don't think you are meant to be the "good guy". Please just think about that. Having complicated interesting characters who make you question their morals is GOOD. Questioning your actions is GOOD. You can still have fun playing the game and be aware of these things.

There's still a lot I haven't said here, like my other theory of the timeline assuming Mogh was charmed before the Haligtree (which I think is difficult since he was either in the sewers or Moghwyn, but still possible) and others. I hope to do more lore analysis with these things where I add more of the item descriptions and text. But I just feel like all the hate for Miquella over Mogh and Radhan is mostly unwarranted. He's a child with a child's understanding of the world trying to play a literal Game of Thrones with adults. There's also the question of why make a child god? What does that say? What does the contrast of Miquella/Marika say about Mogh/Radhan and Godfrey/Radagon? What is the concept of Oppression when it comes from Gods/theocracy down to the autonomy of even just those right below them? What does that say about Mogh being an oppressed person? There's a lot more affecting this dynamic than just the two character's directly interacting. Which we never see- another important point but I will not touch on that either.

Regardless I just really wish more people would be a little more media literate about this, and other media, than they are. Like I love many of the characters in Elden Ring. I really do. But like... they are meant to be complex, interesting, and all in shades of grey.

I will add that I do believe a lot of the objection to Radhan/Miquella is a bit homophbic and the fact that that seems to be a lot of people's objection? But not incest? Uuuuh... that is definitely problematic. Let's not pretend that George RR Martin didn't have a hand in writing this. He very well can and will make incestuous royals. Just cus Radhan is your favorite Chad doesn't mean he can't also be gay. It is really off-putting that THAT is your reasoning and not the fact that it's incest. Idk why people were surprised by this. Please ask yourself why you are objecting to this, is it really just cus you are mad that one of your favs is gay/bi? If so I feel like you should reflect on your own biases.

bringing this post back because there's about 100 new people here.

please unsubscribe from him, he's just awful.

reminder everyone!

he's done at the VERY LEAST!

done blackface

recirculated antisemitic conspiracy theories

collaborated with and defended pedophiles (jeffery star, and I think another one.)

spread misinformation (so much)

made super creepy shit about people. (so much, so much.)

probably fucked a cat (he admitted to it once, and has been backtracking ever since. like he said not once but 3 TIMES that he did, not as a joke just randomly. so who the hell knows!)

I think there was some pretty nasty other stuff with body shaming

queerphobia/transphobia

and more.

like, I choose to believe the best in people. but like there's honest mistakes and then there's legit bigotry.

(e.g is accidentally unknowingly reblogging antisemitic stuff vs literal blackface. one is an accident, one is full on I know what I'm doing. he's not done blackface once BUT MULTIPLE TIMES!!!!!!)

I'm happy he's happily married, but can he please stay off the internet how many times does he have to be run off the internet before he stops.

dgoivghsdkvhjh

he's really not beating the allegations, because half of those things are literally on record. LOL

Jsyk those ppl that think ppl in the south have "the easy life on a little farm milking cows and feeding chicks and taking care of their bazillion kids and being racist all the time with no exceptions because they're stupid!!!" Are DELUSIONAL. Farming in any capacity and keeping livestock is NOT a cottagecore pinterest board, and while there are a LOT of issues out here, we are still people, and we are working as hard as anyone else.

Rant under the cut bc yall piss me off.

Some cows will hate your guts and literally bully you. Chickens and roosters can and probably will attack you and your children. If its a bigger farm with big equipment like tractors... hoo boy.

A kid got sucked into a tractor combine and DIED at my old school. And the son of my current principal lost a leg in another farming accident. There are very few hospitals where I live and most farms are in a place where, if you mess up and throw something out of place or break a bone, nobody will hear you scream.

Im not trying to sound edgy, but we dont live an "easy simple life!" It can be genuinely hard and scary even without outside factors (rabid animals, floods, tornadoes are common in my area, and sometimes the main road to town is just completely unusable. We arent stranded but it would take hours to get to civilization if there was an emergency.) And that's just the part about work ethic!

We are not "simple people" because we are farmers who live in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't make our lives inherently easier and it doesn't make us inherently stupid and racist. Those are nasty ass stereotypes. People in the south work just as hard as you do, and if you think we are any lesser just because of where we live, you need to check yourself and stop being classist weirdos.

When I look at the people around me I see victims of the class struggle that don't even know it. Our schools are underfunded tk no fault of our own, with my last school being a rat and roach infested k-12 with no budget at all placed RIGHT NEAR A PRISON.

We are almost all horribly traumatized in one way or another because, again, there aren't many hospitals around and people watch their family members die more than you would think because of the afformentioned farming accidents and other various issues around here.

We have been utterly failed in so many ways and I am so sick of people pointing and laughing at my neighbors and family and friends because they're all supposedly homophobic and racist and horrible. Yes there are problems out here but by outright despising us you are literally not helping anyone and making everyone down here feel MORE alienated than they already do from people up north and on the coasts. We are all people too, JFC.

tw: hiv/aids, tw homophobia implied in analysis

I have an important question to people who also think way too much about vampires: What happens if a vampire drinks the blood of someone who has HIV? Do they too get infected or is the virus nulled due to their undead nature? If a vampire had HIV in life, do they still have it when they're reanimated/resurrected? I wonder about this since I've been diagnosed with HIV since 2018; I constantly have fantasies involving vampires but now the concept of infecting one with my whole thing makes me feel guilty. What if antiretrovirals don't work on them because they're undead??? What if they feast on me intending to have a little treat? What if they bite before I disclose that extremely important information that would effect them directly???? Does this add stigma to HIV or does it not?? If I were to become an undead flavor of vampire, does the HIV die before I come back? Does it get reanimated with me???? I have so many questions and Anne Rice is no longer on this plane so I can't exactly call her up unless I perform a séance or some shit. If I were writing a vampire story where HIV is a very real thing that happens in the fiction, I don't know which direction I would go in. In my heart of hearts I'd like it to be basically cured upon transforming but I also wonder how disrespectful it would be to write on the topic and saying "oh hey it's cured by magic monsters" or some shit like that. I have it, yes, but my situation was made significantly better and easier to deal with due to those who died to make sure people like me now would continue to live. I've never had to experience the truly grueling losses from that time. There's a lot of y'all out there that did, though. I couldn't bare to make light or a mockery at something that should've never been. People are *still* dying from AIDS to this day. I really intended for this post to be more light hearted but I don't think that's something that's really possible. And also, maybe the people before me wouldn't have died in sheer numbers like that had homosexuality not been criminalized. We had cured so many other diseases before then, why was this to be the one that was ignored? (That last question was rhetorical and before you say "I know," consider there's someone else out there was like "oh, okay, thank you for telling me that") SO all in all this is a really tricky topic, but it's something that's been buzzing around in my head since the diagnosis.

[mithliya]

something so funny about someone thinking they’re oppressed bc people see that they’re in a heterosexual relationship and point it out.

Sometimes I get recommended the most aggressively white and socially isolated posts by Tumblr or someone's random 4 note flop posts

Hey, I would like to ask you to write a comfort for Rosekiller. Or something like that.

Modern AU, Barty shows up at the door of Rosier Manor, at night, knowing that Evan's mother will be indifferent to his arrival and whether he will stay due to his father kicking him out of the house. Evan lets him in and they talk.

Too simple, bc this is my first request on tumblr<3. Have a nice day!

(Don't worry about it. This is my first request as well xD. It's also my first time writing these two, so I hope it isn't too ooc and you like it <3)

"What the fuck are you doing here?" The shock on Evan's face was more than obvious when he saw his boyfriend at the door, drenched and shivering from the rain.

"Sorry, I didn't call... Can I come in?" Evan simply nodded and moved to the side so Barty could escape the cold.

"What happened? You look like shit!" "Gee, thanks." "You do though... Come on." One hand on his shoulder, Evan led him through the house and up to his room. "Can I use your shower?" Once again Evan nodded, showing Barty the way to the bathroom. He understood that Bary needed a moment to warm up and calm down. "Thanks, Rosie." "Any time."

Evan started feeling useless after just a few moments and decided to make tea. In the kitchen, he found his mother with a can of beer. "Who was that at the door?" "Barty. I think he's staying around for a bit." "Alright, just don't be too loud. And stay away from the liquor cabinet." "Sure, mom." As if she'd notice.

He took the two mugs and a bag of chips upstairs to his room, grabbing a bottle of whiskey on his way, then knocked against the bathroom door. "Bee? I got you some fresh clothes. I'll just leave them here." "Cheers..." A few moments of silence, then. "Rosie?" "Yeah?" "Love you." "Love you too, you prick."

A couple of minutes later, Barty - now with dry clothes and not freezing his balls off - lay on Evan's bed, while the other boy opened the chip bag. "I wasn't sure what you wanted, so I got you something for the body and something for the soul." Barty took a deep swig from the bottle.

"You wanna tell me what's going on now?" Barty sighed. He lay down with his head on Evan´s lap, closing his eyes for a moment, letting the alcohol do it´s work.

"My dad threw me out." That explained a lot. "It's kinda hard to convince people to elect you for the next super-conservative-super-safe prime minister if you have an openly gay, leftist son. So he told me he wanted nothing to do with me. And honestly, I'm fine with that. It's not like I liked him or anything. Just sucks that I can't live there anymore, so now I need to find something else." "Ugly bastard. He´s just frustrated he can´t pull a guy as handsome as me." Barty softly huffed and opened his eyes, looking at him with pure adoration and thankfulness. "Probably."

"And you can stay here. At least for a while", Evan assured him, playing with his wet hair. He knew Barty liked it. Depending on how he did it, it either furiously turned him on or calmed him into an almost meditative state.

"Maybe we can get a house together. Or a flat. How much does stuff like that cost?" Evan just laughed and leaned down to him to press a kiss to his lips. "Guess we´ll have to go looking for something to figure it out."

[p4nishers]

The idea of them possibly having to refilm a whole episode because of a cheek kiss is. I mean I get it's just rumors but. if they refilmed to erase a fully overt queer love story I'd feel like ranting and raging. Refilming to erase a cheek kiss is obviously worse in terms of showcasing an even greater paranoia, however. It has the advantage of being HILARIOUS. They put out That season of television. just a flat out romance. and Marvel just nods along going 'yep yup all very appropriate and heterosexual haha we love these good bro—nO nOt a CHEEK KISS THAT'S GAY!!!!" just wild levels of knee jerk homophbia and entirely myopic vision side by side.

right? i mean we dont know why they refilmed it but the way eric martin phrased it was very. like what do you MEAN it would have been "the strangest thing marvel has ever done" ??? what do u mean my dude? what the fuck is "it'd would've been a big conceptual shift" did u film a romcom or not answer the question eric. like genuinely WHAT was so dramatic and new and strange that everyone but marvel liked it if not lokius canon or at least canon adjacent im genuinely asking here

[equalhealerr]

the one thing I don’t get is if Caitlin and Kate were both maybe into softball team ppl and now Kate has this extremely hot gf and Caitlin has THAT MAN, is there no way Caitlin isn’t a little jealous of Kate living her authentic big gay life?! Like w an example of what your life could easily be right there she still chooses to date that man?

Idk why either girl... she'll come to her senses some day... I hope (probably internalized homophbia because she's supposedly never had a real relationship with a girl)

[phatcatphergus]

Tbh i understand getting uncomfortable but tubbo has toned down the homophobic jokes, mainly its him getting called homophobic and him playing into it. His bits are mainly just disgust which can be seen in any average friend group where two of them become a couple and their friends act sick and tell them to get a room. Which i guess can be seen as continuing the homophbia stuff . But it really cant change because the characters are in a gay relationship so they would have called anyone disagreeing homophobic it just sucks that tubbo can really carry the edge of the joke unlike some others so hes getting the full force. Like if people want to talk to ccs they should talk to everyone because he cant stop the bit on his own. Hes not the only one doing it

Exactly

That’s what kills me tho bc he’s doing very normal jokes about disliking romance or being upset with two friends PDA but it’s FIT who calls it homophobic and that’s what people run with

Head in hands

[v-anrouge]

anyways what's crazier about this is that they were not complaining about ppl shipping lilia w malleus' mom like they were complaining that they were also shipping him w malleus' dad like it only became a problem once another male entered the relationship 💀💀💀

i really really hate this fandom and how ppl pretend homophbia isn't a big problem in it because some of yall think the twst boys should be straight and that yuu should be a girl and anything that strays from that is wrong and is headcanon pushing 😭 y'all make me tired i entered this fandom hoping it would be queer safe since yk nrc is a boy's only school but nope yeah absolutely not

Holy shit! An ask the characters post?! In this economy?!
