#how irredeemable of him 🙄

[jennrypan]

"Jason bought Bruce throwing a battarang at him upon himself, cuz he knew Brices moral code."

..OK. letting a homicidal pos loser clown that killed your son and crippled your friends daughter, terrorizes your shit and your other kids die... or throwing a sharp blade at your son's neck that could potentially kill him again just to keep that clown alive..

One of these..is not like the other I think 😶

[ennawrite]

oh my god no way the fmc’s partner who was also severely traumatized and has the responsibility of rebuilding a whole court on his shoulders as well as getting his girlfriend out of a shady bargain isn’t emotionally present? Wtf he’s obviously ignoring her feelings on purpose and not because he’s also going through it. In fact, him guarding the foot of her bed in his beast form while she sleeps because he’s scared of someone attacking her is totally normal and is definitely a sign of him doing fantastic under the circumstances. Honestly, he should have just read her mind and knew she wasn’t doing well. Through his own stress and depression, he should have known. And their breakup can’t even be chalked up to how trauma severely effects people, each different in their own way. No, the fmc’s bf obviously has to be an abusive piece of shit who suddenly has no redeemable qualities. 🙄

God he’s actually such an asshole for playing double agent with Hybern to try to get her out of a kidnapping bargain with the self-proclaimed worst male in Prythian. And his little magic outbursts (even though it’s been stated multiple times how pent up the High Lords can get, how difficult it is to control these outbursts) is completely irredeemable. I bet her mate would never harm her or lie to her or lock her up or keep things from her for her own safety or—

[spacedlexi]

As someone who loves both Kenny and Violet, I feel like I’ve found my calling here 😭😭😭

They’re genuinely so similar, and I do agree that the fandom has male bias, as well as protagonist bias actually

Clementine has the opportunity to befriend/romance Violet and then let her get kidnapped 20 minutes later. And for Violet, that is the most obvious feeling of betrayal! I don’t understand why people in the fandom struggle to realize that their actions have consequences

Lee can basically hate Kenny the entirety of the first season and then the fandom defends Kenny for his actions.

Clearly most of us totally understand Kenny’s response to Lee’s and by extension Clementine’s behavior, so why can’t they understand Violet’s response to Clem’s? Makes no sense to me

honestly i feel like aside from having a male bias the fandom has more of a kenny bias than a protag bias. i see his ass EVERYWHERE. CONSTANTLY. some people act like he raised clem as much as lee did 😭 (and i dont like the way the fandom talks about clem sometimes 😒 ties into the "weird about women" stuff)(and javi? wheres javi? i would like to see more javi. i actually think i see david more than javi)

anyway. i DO find kenny to be a compelling character and understand Why hes popular. its why i initially thought vi would be more popular among those fans! people who like both kenny and vi i can trust to have understood the assignment 💀 because they really do share similarities. but things some people LOVE kenny for they absolutely LOATHE violet for. and its just???? whats not clicking???

i really dont understand why some people act So Shocked by violets reaction in the cells. like hello?? YOU did this to her??? shes done nothing but put herself on the line for clem (even if clem is mean and ungrateful about it), and the One time vi needs clem to have her back, she doesnt (even tho its an impossible choice to make, and deep down vi understands this). and people shock pikachu face when it pushes her back to minnie like no shit??? but i dont think theyre even paying attention to violets character in the first place so 🙄😑 violet settled into that leadership position on her own and not only do you strip her of that role by letting her get taken she also feels discarded by the One Person who was actually influencing her to change for the better in the first place. AND you can do it all 20 minutes after kissing her. of course shes hurt!!! but people act like shes soooo unreasonable for her behavior (and vi would later agree with them! she tries apologizing to clem on the beach actually. thats how quickly she regrets it. but its too late at that point for her i guess 🙄 irredeemable. to the stocks)

kenny will Literally refuse to help lee look for clem if you pissed him off too much like 😭?? if you arent kissing kennys ass 24/7 he is the worlds biggest bitch about it. but endless excuses for kennys behavior for some reason 🤨 him trying to save ben (or christa but its better with ben narratively) is his first Real selfless act and its why its such a compelling conclusion for his S1 arc (only compounded by the fact its BEN of all people hes trying to save, the reason his family is dead). and S2 kenny is all about how his mental health is in sharp decline and hes becoming more violent as he attempts to control what he cannot 💀 kenny defenders out here using up all the oxygen in the room to make excuses for his actions but the minute vi makes One mistake she immediately regrets (after being nothing but loyal), shes an evil bitch deserving of what she got 😐

gee i wonder why 😭😔

[altocat]

Maximilian Dood (a streamer/YouTuber who makes great FFVII and fighting game content) played the first 4 hours of the game at that fan event a few weeks back and said there’s a LOT more left of the flashback after where the demo ended. Get excited.

Yesss! I heard that. I'm hoping for a big dramatic confrontation at the reactor before the flashback cuts off.

Especially if they moved Sephiroth's Cetra speech. I really hope they didn't cut that out. I hope Jenova isn't censored this time and that we actually get to SEE her upfront.

That said, I just know there's going to be narrative illiterate people who look at Sephiroth's "What do I have to be sad about" line and use that as fodder to suggest that he was always sociopathic 🙄As if the first forty minutes of him being a decent guy before going insane meant nothing. It's a good line to show how Sephiroth no longer cares about people and how irredeemably twisted he's become. But some people are going to read into it in a way that will make my head hurt lmao

[mxtxfanatic]

I saw such a bad take on Jiang Cheng's character and I can't stop thinking about how terrible it is. "Jiang Cheng did nothing wrong....couldn't have handled things better because of his situation..."...something something. Why is it so hard for people to accept what's written in canon. MXTX wanted JC to be seen as an antagonist, she wanted him to be a terrible person it's so obvious from all the parallels between him and WWX's characters... A huge excuse when they try to paint him as a "sad, misunderstood uwu boy" is that he went through a lot and thought it was all wwx's fault. But so did Jiang Yanli, and she didn't have any of the reactions that Jiang Cheng did. SHE was the one who lost her husband, SHE also lost her parents the same way he did? I also reread some scenes recently...and his homophobia is so apparent especially in the scene where lwj and wwx visit his parents' shrine. ALSO, his excuse for thinking their dating is that he saw them hug under that tree??? AND HE FOLLOWED THEM TO SEE WHAT THEY'D DO AFTERWARDS😭😭😭

I'm just confused about what excuse they have that makes it so easy to overlook all the shitty things about him💀 (oh, they also seem to hate...wangxian? Like actively believe those two are annoying and that they're bad people. Which is kind of sad, since they're the main pairing of a...ROMANCE NOVEL. So I feel pretty bad for them for having to read a whole book about two characters they don't like) Just wanted to know your thoughts. JC is irredeemable in my eyes. He's not a bad guy but he is a very bad person. But maybe other people see something I don't😂

Somehow I missed this ask, but I found it right on time (after seeing some stan bullshit 🙄) . My thoughts on Jiang Cheng is that the book is very clear that he is a terrible leader, a terrible uncle, and a terrible brother (both martial and bio) who chose the path of his toxic, violent mother to pursue over his kind father. Anyone saying otherwise is not worth engaging.

People don’t see something you don’t about his character, anon; people are choosing to unsee the things in canon because they’ve imprinted on a character that only exists in fan art, fanfic, and “incorrect quotes” memes. The disconnect isn’t a misunderstanding of the story but people uninvested in the original story wanting to impose their own uninspired fandom tropes onto an already cohesive story, and I simply do not have the energy to deal with that level of denial anymore with this fandom.

[forcebookish]

I don't care what anyone says I hope topmew is endgame and top takes mew away from that nasty friend group 🙏 I know some people like to victimize certain characters but let's be real here they are all shitty friends that constantly overstep his boundaries and I'm sure we don't need to get into all of Boston's atrocities. I guess the thing that gets me is people act like mew always has to carry the baggage of his friends and be the bigger person no matter what but somehow top is the one that is irredeemable and should not be forgiven under any circumstances?? If he wasn't cornered, manipulated, and coerced I would agree but that is definitely not the case here. Anyway this was longer than I expected and I'm not the best with words so I hope this at least makes some sense lol.

you're making perfect sense, anon!

i've seen folks try to say that boston is the "real victim" in his "relationship" with top...?????????? someone made a whole thread on twitter. if i had to say "no one owes anyone sex" once, i'd have said it too many times - but i've had to say it MULTIPLE times!!! what did top even do to boston? tell him he doesn't want to sleep with him?? tell him "stop?" nearly cry (twice) when boston told him that mew might be cheating on him? push him away when he wouldn't let go? wow, such abuse, so victim🙄 top out here literally just trying to stay in his own lane, date a guy, and work on the hostel while boston can't keep his creepy hands to himself😒 but i guess it's boston's god-given right to touch people who don't wanna be touched, apparently😒😒

and people got mad at mew for being "mean" to ray when he was frustrated about ray calling him drunk in the middle of the night. he even says, "i'm not picking you up again." again. he has had to help him out of these situations he puts himself into before. pathetic little meow meow or not, that is a huge burden to put on your friends time and time again. the drama already established that ray tells his friends he loves them when he's drunk, mew had no reason to think that ray was going through a crisis until he actually heard he was crying. AND THEN CAME RUNNING TO HIM!

re: mew's shitty friends (hey, cheum you can stay!), what's cool about the relationships in this drama is how many characters mirror each other, not being the same but being flipped and on opposite ends of the spectrum. the most obvious example is top and mew: top being sexually active, open to new experiences, and LOUD during sex, while mew is celibate, likes to stick to books, and hardly even breathes during sex. and for topmew, i personally think that's a strength!

but ray and boston are also mirrors to each other: ray looking up to/loving mew and boston hating/looking down on mew. and they both kinda ruin his life about it lol

and yeah, i really, really want endgame topmew. honestly, they seem to have the strongest relationship (at least among the boys and including the friendships) in the drama. i can't, and absolutely don't want to, see mew reconcile with boston. maybe ray, depending on how things go down - but i'm so not into the idea of mewray, because it smacks of "wearing him down." he held that torch for years.

i would never say that what ray has done is as bad as boston, but it's another case of not respecting someone's boundaries when they have firmly rejected them. (it's not just because it's not a forcebook ship!!! i promise!!! ...i mean, it is a little bit, of course😅)

and i find it very ugly that it wasn't until top and mew had someone serious in their lives that ray and boston couldn't deal. i've been saying this before the drama aired, but i really think that top and mew would have just had a normal, you meet, you date, you fall in love relationship (even with the drug use, it's not impossible to work through that as a couple), if it weren't for ray and boston actively trying to sabotage their relationship - if they were actually good friends. and the drama seems to be delivering on that theory. seems to be the point, actually.

thanks for popping in, anon! prayer circle for endgame topmew 🙏🕯️🙏🕯️🙏🕯️🙏🕯️🙏🕯️

Eurovision 2023 #37-35

That AWKWARD moment you plan on ranking this year’s Big Evil last, and then rewatch everyone and realize some of these NQs were so PUTRID you can’t in clear conscience rank  them ahead of anyone else. Enjoy three acts so irredeemable I have to rank them below Noa! Decade rankings: 112, 111 & 110 / 116 [Above: Brividi, Below Noa Kirel] 29 Dec Update: Now ABOVE Noa, and below Nadir

37.  36. GREECE Victor Vernicos - “What they say” 30th place

I enjoy being right. 🙂 Sorry, but 14 points in a TELEVOTE, (12 of which from Cyprus) in a semi that has the utterly unvoteable Romania and San Marino in it? Greece was and IS the worst in this year. Sitting through it was like watching a stream of meconium ooze from a baby’s anus.

Sure, one could argue that "What they say” was redeemable as like... a laughable trainwreck, and yeah, it could have been on paper. I have to draw a line somewhere, and “somewhere” is where a delegation sends a minor to the contest, SEES the footage of him utterly flunking the live and then does nothing, allowing him to humiliate himself in front of millions of people. Shitty broadcasters to the fucking bottom of the ranking!

But even besides that, the song is just a wretched Ed Sheeran pretend ballad, like someone took a cleaver to “Castle on the hill” and hacked out all the mildly enjoyable mellow parts and replaced them with a stop-motion-like cadence, cursive singing and Sad Boy Emoness. Victor sings that he hates his feelings and my feelings are that I hate everything about his song.

Like, I can’t be the only person so UTTERLY SICK of these misguided self-aggrandising songs that actively try to use real-life mental health issues to provide unsoliicited social commentary for their own personal gain? Be it in a competition or to make oneself appear ~morally righteous~. Enough with the devious white-washing of actual mental health issues. 

 At least that is what I’m forced take away from this shitty song because these lyrics don’t make any fucking sense: Victor sings that “Lost Souls” make sure no one loses their way and “Hurt ones” can’t stand seeing others in pain, and also that he’s both (?) and that he’s got too much on his plate, wanting to save the others (?????) and that it’s TOO LATE FOR HIM (??????) Someone heard this and wasn’t instantly alarmed by how dark this is? WTF?! SICC A PSYCH ON HIS ASS, ASAP!

But of course, any potential complexity is instantly undermined by the visuals. 

Youngster Victor wants to battle, and his team is one lvl 7 Caterpie.

Add in a few selfie backdrops, some happy skipping (again: this song has a messed-up and depressing message) and perhaps most offensive of all: GREEK LETTERS SPLICED INTO ENGLISH WORDS: 

And you are left with an entry that makes me feel ALEXEEV levels of shame. Like yeah it’s all mercenary and insincere and vile but doesn’t change the fact that that Greece sent a sixteen year old with a song about SUICIDAL THOUGHTS to Eurovision and made it... that. BE SAFE, YOUNG VICTOR!!! Preferably as far away from a guitar as possible.😬

-----------------------------

36. 35. SAN MARINO Piqued Jacks - “Like an animal” Joint LAST

THEY KNOW THE WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY 

... to zero points...x

Congratulations Piqued Jacks, you are NOT last in this ranking. 🙄 Count your lucky fucking stars. 

Talk about an entry that fully earned their nil points in the televote. Piqued Jacks accompanied their accidentally predatorial song with black and red lights. Black and red lights are of course the axe murderer colours which they used to complement the date rape lyrics and serial killer faces.  🙃

Seriously, for real:  

Hide your sisters and daughters from this creep and his eerie obsession with “snake eyes” and “biting tongues” and “butterflies in his ears”. I would be less bad if “E-King” (you’re a grown man, consider a name change) wasn’t this off-puttingly smug or didn’t have a voice like newborn goat choking on its colostrum. “Like an animal” is three minutes of extreme discomfort. The absolute opposite of a “Slay”.

------------------------------

35. 34. ROMANIA Theodor Andrei - “D.G.T.” Joint LAST.

Sigh, this one just makes me feel sad.  As you know I was a Theodor apologist before and honestly, I still kinda like him as a person?

DGT was a shambles though. Theodor was always due to create some discomfort, given that he has never not looked like a Project Runway second boot called Susan and DGT’s lyrics involve *this specific person* talking graphically about being carressed by his girlfriend’s fingers and wanting to rip her clothes off. So yeah a hard sell, but not impossible!!

However, the live was a bare step above San Marino in terms of second-hand embarrassment. An weird musical bisection, an amateur hour act swallowed by the LEDs and utter SILENCE from the audience which thundered over the off-pitch wailing condemned Romania to nill pointer hell.

The acoustic start, WHY? 

The CSI floordrops, WHY? 

The selfie backdrops, WHY?

 The black paint on the naked torso, WHY? 

the shrill falsetto WHYYYYYY?!

And just like how the San Marinese cringe is present but in a lesser form, so is Greece’s shitty broadcaster behaviour. After forcing Theodor to transmogrify his opening minute into an unplugged acoustic version (a decision that completely ruined the song), TVR just called it a day, and happily sent Theodor to his doom with no real regrets. WTF?!

Basically, these three nil point flops (yeah totally counting Greece as one, deal!) are all tied for last place, but I had to pick an order. Greece are the most awful for exploiting a minor. San Marino deliberately chose someone with a very annoying voice and face, so they’re second last. Theodor meanwhile, is actually kinda talented and was mostly the victim of TVR’s lack of involvement, to which I say: If your participations in Eurovision amount to throwing an eighteen year old to the vultures because you’re too bothered to actually support him through the ordeal, Romania, then don’t bother with ESC and just fucking QUIT!!!

THE RANKING

[haleigh-sloth]

4, 8, 18 for the violence ask game!!

I don’t remember the last actual blog I blocked honestly. I block too many bots to remember lol. My space is so insanely curated it’s hard to come across shit I strongly dislike anymore. The only time I do is when mutuals reblog from people whose blogs I don’t like, which usually isn’t an issue until I start seeing really rank shit on my dash repeatedly. I’m pretty tolerant but after seeing like…certain stuff I just kinda decide I’ve had enough. But at that point if it’s a mutual I don’t block, I just unfollow. Any time I block someone it’s because they’ve come into my space via reblogging and commenting whether that be on the actual post or in the tags something I don’t like, leaving it in the comments, or sending asks (which is usually done on anon).

I’m beating a dead horse here but like, pretty much anything with the LOV I disagree with like majority? It’s either one of two extremes—the “they’re irredeemable psychos” takes that I can’t take seriously, or the “they’re a loving found family trying to make the world a better place by fighting for justice” takes. Those actually annoy me more because they often come hand in hand erasing everything that makes the LOV interesting. I also get annoyed by them more because I USED to think that. I know why I thought that and how I got sucked into it, but it’s annoying looking back at how miserable it made me to read it that way. It’s annoying that I got out of it and am super stoked with almost everything the manga does now but the space I was in just stayed there and continues to spread unnecessary negative bad faith takes based on…ideas that the manga has stomped on and tossed out. These are the types of takes that mutuals put on my dash that I’m more or less tolerant of until I’ve had enough lol.

The Tomura Izuku dynamic. I used to wonder if I was looking too deep into it but NO like dude all the art Hori puts into them and their dynamic and the way the story is panning out RIGHT NOW tells me that no, I’m not looking too deep.

It gets ignored in favor of like…the LOV. I get finding the Tomura/LOV dynamic interesting because I was there at one point but it’s so…not what I thought it was (back then). It’s not as explored or deep or significant as everyone tries to make it out to be. In fact often times posts I see looking at them this way have nothing solid taken straight off the page to base that take on. I find that often it’s taking small moments of characterization and just blowing them out of proportion to overshadow everything else because it paints a nice idealized picture I guess, idk.

Tomura’s and Izuku’s roles in each other’s arcs get ignored and overlooked. “They’ve only talked twice 🙄” “Izuku tried to kill him in the PLF war he’s not heroic 🙄”. Like these takes completely ignore Tomura’s perception of their relationship (actually their LACKTHEREOF—BUT NOT TO HIM) and ignore how desperate Tomura actually is to latch onto an ideal (saving someone from the heart, saving no matter what, saving everyone within your reach) and a person (Izuku) who represents that ideal. Izuku represents the core of everything Tomura’s wanted growing up and people just…ignore that in favor of some headcanon which I think is criminal.

[unnecessaryligatures]

Dave time!! Twitter is limiting how many tweets people can view now (🙄) so I am parking myself here (this will be thoughts about #davebenjo day 7, episodes 8-10 session 2; I'll edit the content under the cut as we go)

Dave continues to be wrong about Bridglar

Bridglar domestic at home real!! Also the way Dave talks about "when they get home"..."when they get home they'll find a way to live together"...dave...I'm sorry to tell you this...

I want to watch the terror camp panel about what medically went wrong

I also hope we get a terror camp talk about Silna's family. I love how much I'm learning about her culture just from these questions

two-spirit silna!!!

Dave being so strongly affected by Christos's monologue!! dave!! dave!!! Also he's right, Paul's acting in that scene with his eyes was amazing

"How do you create such a supportive environment on set?" 🥺🥺🥺

"Actors think out loud a lot" lmao

Scripts show them bus stops on their journey, and the actors have to figure out how to get from point A to point B. If the script isn't helping them, they can't figure out how to get from point A to point B, and then it's Dave's job to get them back on track.

Dave talking about how much he loves actors and will do anything for them 🥺🥺🥺

The director and showrunner's roles are to talk to the actors and find out what they need, then be as flexible as possible to give that to them

Episode 9 as a montage...damn

Dave's answer to the "when does Hickey become irredeemable" question...it's when he sees the hill they're going to camp beneath! Yes! Yes!! This is when he no longer acts to save himself, but thinks he can access the Netsilik mythology. The transgression that is actually unforgivable! I love that

Why didn't Hickey show signs of poisoning after eating Goodsir? They did have shots of Adam cramping, but no good ones so they skipped them. Adam had some explanation for why he wouldn't be as affected but Dave didn't really get it

Me: Hickey had probably experienced worse in his terrible childhood

Also me: Cramping? Trans Hickey real

A disaster exposes what's best and worst in us, often at the same time

Dave has only watched the show 8 or 10 times XD I definitely thought it would be more, but I guess that's a lot when you also wrote it, edited the script, were there when it was filmed, and edited the footage after

Ohhh no, in Goodsir's last moments, he thinks about the things that brought him joy, not people

Tuunbaq's death: intentionally put Anglican church music over his death to be the most offensive, in the sense that it's from Crozier's POV and he believes he is the main character and just vanquished a foe, not realizing that he just killed the main character (!!!)

Taking notes of ensemble horror films with naturalistic characters that Dave mentions: Black Christmas, The Fog

Dave is fine with his work being in the "missed by most, but fiercely loved by some" category: good!!

The setting itself can be scary if it's a horror setting (e.g. a haunted house); The Terror is like that. Pen in the chat: "also a haunted house to some is a home to others!" Yes!!

Dave might have originated the "Dundy" nickname for Le Vesconte XD It makes sense to him that JFJ would dole out nicknames. Yes!!

Oh nooooo they did ask the "body retains sensation after death" when Silna sees Goodsir....no....no!!!

"If you take 128 men, one of them is bound to have killed someone" 😂

"I think he dislikes murder in some respects" 🥺 thank u dave. Hickey has been in a horror story for years before the story starts...!!! The general idea that Hickey is just so tired of having to murder as was mentioned last week lmao

To understand Gibson, think of someone who knows he is just as good as someone in university but knows he will never get that opportunity. Ugghhhh dave talking about Gibson's intelligence always makes me !!!

"I don't fuck with how people pray, how they love, and how they grieve" ❤️

Love this question about the laundry!! Completely missed the longjohns. This is so interesting. I love that there's always more to explore in this show

Dave cracking up talking about Herodotus 😂 it comes highly recommended

So appreciate the question about who would have taken the "opportunity to participate in cannibalism" ldfkads (my kind of question)

POLL TIME

[luna-rainbow]

I think a lot about this and the actual conversation Steve and Bucky then have in the apartment complex.

Steve: Do you know who I am?

Bucky: You’re Steve, I read about you in a museum.

Steve: I know you're nervous. And you have plenty of reason to be. But you're lying.

Bucky: I wasn't in Vienna. I don't do that anymore.

Bucky is the one who initiates the talk about Vienna. He knows Steve (yeah yeah read about him in the museum 🙄) and knows what a busybody he is. He sees Steve in his full battle regalia, and assumes he’s here on official business, ie the one that just made him find his own identity plastered across newspapers. Steve, on the other hand, is busy trying to reconnect with their mutual past.

Steve: Well, the people who think you did are coming here now. And they're not planning on taking you alive.

“The people who think you did” — that’s what other people think, not Steve. Steve doesn’t even question Bucky twice. “If he’s this far gone” etc etc — but Steve never truly believed Bucky was morally bankrupt enough to cause the incident in Vienna. Which suggests, yes to some degree Steve did prepare himself for the worst (which is fighting against a Bucky that’s irredeemable), but when he volunteered to go after Bucky, most of his motivation was to forewarn and help Bucky if he was innocent. And look how quickly he accepted Bucky’s plea of innocence.

Steve: You pulled me from the river. Why?

Bucky: I don't know.

Steve: Yes, you do.

Tell us again Captain Rogers how it was all about bringing Barnes in from the wild 😏

[chuluoyi]

Guess Hoyo hates us.... I haven't logged on to TOT for like 2 weeks after I failed to get Bakerlon Lukey... And last I checked I have 12 s-chips... Idk what to do anymore...

And omg I would pay for a Rosa backstory! Enough about the men, let the queen take charge 🤭🤭🫶🏻🫶🏻 Plus I have a gacha addiction so- I guess that's another thing motivating me to play...

Mahito... That name makes me want to commit mass murder... Istg I love his VA like he's legit one of my favourite VAs but Mahito as a character is just utter crap (No offence to Mahito Girlies) He's so... idk... he needs therapy... And I need it too cause he killed off Nanami pookie bear

HAHAHHA Genshit really is shit.... The gacha odds are shit... The artifacts are shit... The only thing that isn't shit is the 2D men.... Wrio and Neuv look so good I can't believe I'm seriously considering downloading that 13GB game onto my phone again just cause of 2 fictional men...

Also I guess we have that kind of bad luck... I'm blessed with Qiqi and you with Keqing.... And Hoyo wonders why people complain... Fates are hard to get, and characters are even harder to get...

Overall, screw Genshin 🙄 I'm not even gonna mince my words anymore I've had enough!!! 😭😭💀💀

-🪩

don’t worry disco anon i still didn’t manage to get him!!😭😭 my s chips are less than 1000 now and well…😭

gacha addiction is soo true!!😭 the other day i went to a jjk-themed cafe with season 2 gashapon and i impulsively pulled it—and i only got riko!😭 it was quite pricey too but i can’t help pulling arghh

right!! i almost can’t believe who his VA is😩 he nails mahito so well—the way he screamed back at yuji gave me the chills🤧 and mahito is actually such a well-written villain too that we felt this much rage for him🥹 but he’s also utterly irredeemable oh god

artifacts omg i couldn’t count how many times i have farmed in that accursed vv domain and up until this day i haven’t gotten a decent elemental mastery cup🥲🥲 HAHAHAHAH SO TRUE I AGREE W U🥹🥹🥹 the only thing that isn’t shit is the men! i lit used a different phone to play genshin bcs it almost took 20GB of space😭 “screw genshin” omg you’re so me back then too!🤣🤣 until i come back🥲

[granolybary]

i can safely state that i can't see how allison hargreeves can be redeemed at least for me. pushing aside her easy dismissal of viktor's bond with harlen (despite the fact that her entire breakdown surrounded having to leave her family from the 60's but i guess that doesn't matter for SHIT when it's other people), and the fact that she acts like harlan's actions led to claire not existing (despite the abysmal chance of her being born even with allison's mom not dying), and that she has this mentality that she suffered worse than her siblings (don't even get me started 🙄), but honestly it was her sexual assault on luther and how the fandom has just easily dismissed it. what's even worse is that she sexually assaulted him by making him believe he wanted it, so there was literally no way it could actually fight back in anyway, physically or mentally. there's something inherently more disgusting about that. in the other seasons, the show balanced having the hargreaves act morally wrong and at times unlikable but still not entirely irredeemable (such as my annoyance towards s1 luther and viktor) and they did get more likable. but i can barely stand the scenes she's in because that gross ass scene keeps flashing in my mind, and her behavior is just so obnoxious ESPECIALLY TOWARDS HARLAN. HARLAN IS LITERALLY THE ONLY AUTISTIC REPRESENTATION I'VE SEEN IN TV AND SHE ACTS SO GROSS AND BITTER TOWARDS HIM FOR HIS "UNPLEASANT" PERSONALITY.

yeah, people are comparing this allison to wanda (i don't even like wanda) but at least wanda didn't sexually assault someone. allisons stans (by this i mean people who justify her actions NOT anyone who finds her arc interesting) dni. being in any proximity to ur dumbasses is bad for my heath (my doctor told me) 😀😀😀😀😀😀

[strahdapologist]

strahd in ‘i, strahd’ aka when written by a woman: nuanced and multidimensional, a man painfully susceptible to his own human emotion, the ‘monster’ that serves as a warning to be followed—-in his own words: “be careful what you wish for”, endlessly despairing and trapped by his own actions, trying to break the cycle for himself and barovia.

strahd according to dudebros on reddit and tracy / chris perkins: he’s a mentally ill vampire that has no feelings and that’s what makes him inherently evil and irredeemable, actually. here’s a twenty step guide on how and why you should play him as someone who grooms players because that’s what was intended for 5e.

ok but the insistence that “i, strahd” is propaganda is because people want to justify being predatory towards their players 🙄 if they even read the second book, they’d know strahd goes to great lengths to hide his personal journals. and even though ravenloft has HUGE continuity issues, the books have been used by older modules to solidify dates multiple times, and events have been previously canonised (like leo attacking the wedding etc).

also the books still make strahd look really stupid (affectionate) so it’s not even good propaganda aljdfjsks some people are just allergic to the idea of tragic villains or think the idea of redemption is religious propaganda. like y’all never heard of moral philosophy? nietzsche? kant? hegel? anyway.

what’s really fun (and by that I mean it was a nightmare) is there WAS discourse when con brought this up a few months ago, centered around

a) how much of a monster jenkins is for even WRITING *whatever it was* (even though the scene was ultimately cut so it’s a moot point)

b) speculating what edward could possibly have done that would have made him irredeemable, after which some people decided it must have been sexual assault (????!???!)

so yeah very balanced and normal reactions from a certain part of the fandom 🙄

So this is like third-hand news so take with a grain of salt, but I saw on twt that there was apparently a scene filmed between Ed and Izzy that wasn’t included in the final cut because, in Con’s words, it would’ve made Ed “irredeemable”. It’s not confirmed but a part of this scene may still have made it into one of the s2 teasers (Ed throwing knives at Izzy’s head).

On the one hand I think they should’ve kept it in, because I genuinely do not think that anything they would write for Ed would make him irredeemable. That’s like, one of the whole points of his s2 character arc, and including a scene where he’s doing some truly deranged shit might have even fleshed out that arc more.

On the other hand though I am so thankful to be free of the discourse that would’ve erupted from it, because there is already a significant chunk of the fandom can’t seem to grasp that Ed, as he’s currently written, isn’t an irredeemable monster.

Unpopular opinion time || Accepting

i don't know if this is such an unpopular opinion now, but the way people say 'oh if you write this bad thing that means you support it' realLY GRINDS MY GEARS. like oh, i write the living personification of the british empire so that means i looove imperialism. NO. WRONGO LMAO. i write conall as a terrible irredeemable thing because he IS. but there are some people who see that i write him and would assume that i condone his and the actions of the british empire when thats clearly not how im writing him 🥴

but that can be said for anyone writing anything morally questionable. just bc someone writes something that is wrong, unforgivable, cruel, unjust, etc, doesnt mean they support it. how else do you get conflict in fiction? you as the reader are meant to judge how a character reacts to something bad, and if they react in a way thats against your own morals or the general morals of humankind then you know theyre a questionable person. thats the point. how do we write villains and conflict and things that happen to people if us as writers are made out to support these things simply?? from writing them??

and if youre writing a canon character, sometimes these bad things are a core part of their development as a character (for example, camilla being sexually abused by her own brother. i dont think donna tartt condones that happening, but that was part of camillas character development) and i think we would be doing a disservice to the character if we erased that bad thing from happening to them. same thing with villains or antagonists doing bad things. we'd be doing a disservice to an antagonist by erasing the bad things they do to people.

so...yeah. if you write things that are morally questionable or things that are bad...that doesnt mean you support that thing and it kills me that us as writers are expected to water things down just bc of that 🙄
