#i dont begrudge that

[ludinusdaleth]

i'm not trying to start anything, but i'm confused. if ludinus cared and trusted in people and respected them to make decisions... then why was a a raging racist towards groups of people? i can't fully see how that could possibly match up.

because his hypocrisy is his most center trait, that made him a villain and also parraleled the gods, a neverending cycle of those who think they know best for others when they have descended into selfish ways - but, as with c3's themes, can we bear to accept that someone was terrible but that they were radicalized into it as scared and powerless moments? he did care for exandria. immensely. maybe more than the pantheon did. he would rend himself apart and break everything if it meant everyone was safe from what he saw as the greatest tyranny. but his festering anger and focus on only one goal, his growing power & privelege as he raged with no one to ever guide him away from radicalization from his trauma, meant he both lashed out at others, and thought destruction was a necessary if disgusting trade off for a final peace for those he lashed out at - that was what happened in the calamity, after all, wasnt it, to secure "peace"?

to our knowledge he didnt hate the kryn for being the kryn - he hated them because he couldnt bear to imagine a calamity survivor would worship an object of science, exacerbated by being in charge of an empire so long that he could only see xhorhas through imperialist value. he didnt want everyone in molaesmyr to die, it clearly haunted him - but his hatred of their forgetfulness of what the archheart did isolated him entirely til he grew desperate enough that he destroyed them for his plans (and even then, he remembered them - "justifying" that their deaths wouldnt be in vain). he despised trent and the imperium and it went against his morals enough he faltered talking to caleb about one of them, but they furthered his end goal and then their abuse wouldnt matter anymore, because the real abusers, they would be gone in his eyes. he hurt everyone around him because he was hurt, and his position and his experience gave him the cruel chance to.

he cared but he learned to steel himself against truly caring. after hundreds of years feeling powerless and alone in a changing world he began to know nothing but the most extreme and final option. war changes and radicalizes people, and eventually even when we think we are kind or intelligent we can break and fall to bigotry and extremity through insanely punitive justice if it means we think it will end suffering. he is us. the bells are us. liliana is us. frankly the pantheon is us too. i see them in this world every day. i think that is the truth of where that hypocrisy is important. we are all suffering people and we have to find some way in the web of the world to meet folk who do not enable our worst but also reach a hand out at our worst. ludinus never found that. and frankly many of us havent either.

It's very important to me that the books describe henry as being kind of weird and off putting. I don't like it when people portray Henry as a super nice wonderful guy, that man is ODD and has ISSUES. He ran fazbear entertainment for years, their constant sketchy behavior and coverups of the terrible things that happened there are on him. He designed the springlock suits, knew they were death machines, still had employees use them, and then covered up the horrible painful deaths that happened because of them. He says in fnaf 6 “[a wound] that I let bleed out to cause all of this” because without realizing it, all those years he had been covering up Williams crimes for him. By trying to keep fazbear entertainment afloat and leaving all the tragedies unchecked for so long, he was allowing William to get away with what he was doing, and that's why he feels so guilty and responsible for everything. It's because he is. Henry is not a good guy, he just looks like a saint next to William

@ the earlier questions if Leo isn’t a twink then explain why I can make “I want that twink obliterated” jokes about him with impunity

if leo werent a twink the fandom wouldnt be treating him like that. for that exact reason

when i got a dog i thought the most annoying thing would be either the barking or the whining but i was wrong. its when she stares at me intently and shuffles her feet.

Like Aaron is full on married to another man, letting Robert get his back blown out by a hot Scottish man isn't going to hurt Robron 😭

Exactly, you get it!!

Aaron can have hookups and boyfriends and husbands but Robert even looks at another person suddenly he's jeopardising robron 😭😭

Robert deserves a good time even if not a long time with someone goddammit

Kind of crazy it took less than two seasons to hear native Chandrilan and Filoni's self-insert Mandalorians still aren't allowed to speak their original tongue. Cultural genocide, am I right? /s

I think Hunk and Keith love to just stand there as Lance and Pidge fucking roast the everloving shit out of each other and wonder whether people can just be nice and get along instead

(They are both hypocrites)

tbh im so tempted to do another animorphs re-read but this time following one of those "important animorphs books only" lists that people like to make to see if the story still makes sense that way
