on one hand I totally understand tropes are popular but on the other hand I think Amos is a lot more compelling as a middle aged woman trying to figure out her life after a loveless relationship than a mother figure ya know
#it's like. oh has anyone read price of salt? It's like carol. she's in a mess trying to figure things out#and dragging anyone close to her into that mess#bc she spent so long in an environment where she is both not getting enough attention from one who she wants#and getting attention from others who are 'below' her. not that she conciously sees people as below her but i think society#would tell Amos that she has a higher role on the hierarchy as Deca's lover than anyone else in mondstadt#...now i'm imagining an old mond rebellion where the original goal was something like 'tear down the walls reform deca' and then Amos joine#went 'no I'm gonna kill him' and the rebellion went '....okay that doesn't sound like a terrible idea he IS the one keeping the walls up'#nb's goal after all was to break down the walls and see the sky right not explicitly to kill a god#.......puts this idea in my pocket to maybe play with#saying that my initial idea of her was also viss er one / eva anim orphs based but sim idea. middle aged woman#upper class middle aged divorced woman amos who has her hands full dealing with the fallout of her own life and making it everyone's proble#i just really like Problematic Woman#saying that carol did kinda really mother therese but also their relationship was uhhhh unequal. Just a Bit#also viss e r one and eva are also both defined by motherhood in a way#except eva is 'long left the role behind bc the world thinks she's dead and her body isn't even hers anymore'#and vis ser one is 'she should NOT be a mother she is a whole empire's tactician for a reason'#anyway don't mind me waking up and starts rambling about Opinions bc my dream supplied me Stress of Snakes#<- thinks snakes are cool but has a healthy respect of them irl idk Where that dream came from#genshin talk

you know I never really set out to write meta or character analysis (cause writing is hard) but if you ask me about women I just must make a huge two part essay and research everything I can about them.
#number 1 problematic woman defender#I'm joking but really I started liking Milsiril way more after this#Before I just liked her as much as any of the other female characters (a lot) but now she's really one of my faves#dunmeshi thoughts

What do you think about gojo ships
I feel like I'm pretty indifferent to most of them. This is super cringe of me, but whenever I fall super in love with a character I don't often like shipping them romantically with anyone. 💀 (im delusional I know)
It doesn't help that for some reason the jjk fandom (especially twt) is weirdly aggressive about ships. I know it isn't all the shippers and it's mostly just the loud minority, but seeing so much of the discourse has kinda put me off and I don't really engage much with the ships in the fandom except for rarepairs and selfships bc alot of the time those communities are more wholesome and cozy (if that makes sense LOL)
#satofie best ship#andnajdjskdjksnfksndjdj im sorry im cringe 😔😔#anyways i honestly have no idea#its not even about not liking seeing him with others bc i enjoy seeing other ppls gojo × oc/selfships#i just for some reason dont really vibe with any of the existing gojo ships in the series#weirdly enough if i had to choose one i feel like sukugo is the most interesting one LOL they are so funny with eachother#i feel like in a different life they really couldve hit it off#i feel bad for gojohime shippers sometimes#like i personally dont like the ship but oh my god ppl on twitter are so mean about that ship i dont even know why ???#is it bc alot of them prefer him shipped with a guy ?? or they dont like seeing another woman that isnt them with him?? i dont know#but i see so much hate for it and it makes me sad bc like just move on or mute the account so u dont have to see it if you really hate it#the amount of times ive seen some big jjk account qrt a fanart dissing the ship while also getting more likes than the artists post is craz#why do ppl fight over fake people kissing.......#i remember this one account specifically that was obsessed with gojo but they were so snobby about it and like gatekeeping other fans#and they really hated gjhm and for some reason felt the need to make it into a problematic ship instead of just saying#i dont like this and moving on#but they made this whole thing abt how toxic they actually are bc utahime hates gojo#only to (in the same thread) gush over their fave ship which was nanago#and i felt crazy bc its......literally the same dynamic what#like am i missing something ?????#anyways this got a bit wild but pls be nice to eachother and respect eachothers ships#you dont have to justify why u dislike a ship you can just not like it#no need to turn it problematic

I think my favorite thing about night country so far genuinely is just letting women be fucking pieces of shit. I'm so serious.
#like when was the last time we had a mainstream piece of media depict a woman being just a genuine asshole like jodie foster? I'm serious#if a woman is problematic it's always in very specific passive-agressive ways and never do we have it in a main character#who is an OVERT piece of shit. like I fucking love that.#she's in conversation with all the male asshole characters who have come before her and I really love jodie foster's character for doing#that. I really do.

that 'women in male dominated fields' joke is kind of funny sometimes but there's one going around referring to a nonconsensual surgical procedure used for arguable sexual abuse and I just don't think that's funny honestly sorry
#I just don't find the humor in 'haha what if a WOMAN enacted [acts of horrific misogyny] on MEN' like sorry you sound really corny#feel like I'm at a table w a bunch of liberal feminists ca. 2015#I don't think ppl are ~problematic~ or gpd forbid 'misandrist' for it#but joking abt something that serious just seems. idk. unnecessarily edgy and tryhard#I thought we were past rape jokes atp#cor.txt

Listening to coinstar by the growlers and thinking about mel so hard I get nauseous
Ridiculous stream of conscious in the tags apologies but not really
#it speaks#white woman moment#its really funny bc like. its very much a her to jfk song#(everyones favorite problematic short king)#but she looks at him with uhhh#like heres this kid(hes 28) standing on the precipice o what she had been all those years ago#but he KNOWS it she didnt know she thought she had mold poisoning from her shitty apartment until she died#and she is projecting so much onto him. which is part of why she doesn't respect him at all#'im a sucker just like you'#its also funny bc like. it is Too Late for Phoenix.also its scary that theyre hungry bc as far as she knows death avatars arent supposed 2 b#but also theyre the first one shes met. and Phoenix is kind of just scary in general.#but being around those two is like. almost flashbacky(jfk also reminds her alot of her ex aroun that age tho audreys dad was Worse)#(she never met him but heard enough stories about the guy and i mean. he fed her to the hunt on purpose.#i dont think jorges dad wanted what was going to happen to happen)#part of why she texted her so fast tbh. not that they hadnt talked at all since the divorce.#i thinj they talked. not alot bc mel WAS in europe and international data rates pre smartphone age oof ouch#and also like. they did irrevocably harm eachother physically and mentally but they do both careeeeee#tho. i do not think melissa wouldve ever dropped everything to go help audrey like audrey would and did for her.#(girl who runs away from her problems x girl who is a dog)#auuughhhhhh#she really is my chew toy.#i also think alot about her sky mafia years but those r fun and sexy little secrets for me#as much as i love Basil's motw campaign i do with it was easier to unentangle her from tma lore.#bc like. normal vampire works well but it loses so much of the flavor. various sea beasts keep the flavor but loose the morality.#for pathfinder if i were to redo her id go with storm oracle and then spec into kineticist. which does work Ok I Guess.#but like. even that its still not what i want#one scene that probably would've never happened in game but i thought ahout if we ever went back to the item storage or maybe a wierd thrift#shop or something was to like. have her come across a violin and pick it up and make it scream horribly. like. really concentrate on making#it make the worst noise imaginable. shes trying to reach that wonderful horrible music avatars mention alot in the earlier seasons#and then realizes everyone else Hates That So Much and jokingly play one of the devil's riffs from tdwdg. tbh i should finally draw that

Constantly thinking abour karen wheeler btw but in a way that makes everyone here super madsies
#my problem is that when ppl say they like their female characters problematic they mean#'i want them to have flaws that i can blame on the nearest male character' and tbh thatd so boring and also. pretty infantilizing?#tbh to the point where its like do you guys even get karens character or. anyways.#like So Many Thoughts#like shes either the narc emotionally abusive mother or a victimized angel 🥺🥺🥺 neither of which is true btw#im so pretentious i like to think that i get where karen fits in the fabric of st's themes#i think positioning her as a 'freak' kind of defeats that? bc karen to me always seemed like the opposite#shes attrative skinny formerly a cheerleader charismatic white and suburban. shes literally a white boomer named karen.#all of that is complicated by the fact that shes also a woman who was raised in the veryyy conservativ era of the 50s#shes very much someone who is smart but also follows the tides and only really rebels when its the popular counter culture to do#like her at the pool in s3 with all her other housewife friends#and its like so easy to get what ppl say about her mothering skills but it often gets pushed into very black and white discourse#like karen obviously cares about her kids but its a case of actions mattering more than words and performance#like karen will TELL mike that she wants him to talk to her and shell hug him when shes supposed to (performance) but when mike had symptoms#of ptsd? karen punishes him. but also ptsd was not super well known back then#but what im saying is that karen PERFORMS but is she actually a safe person to go to? i think thats what her arc is about#like thats why the mikekaren hug at the end of s4 was important bc not only does she hug him hut she also makes it clear she doesnt want to#lose him#its that reassurance after a traumatizing event from a parent that kids and teens need!#i think karen does what she thinks she is supposed to do but also i think shes the typical white boomer who lacks a lot of self awareness#in how she treats ppl#doesnt make her a bad person. honestly i think shes a good person#i think when all characters are humanized and flawed what separates a good person from a bad person in st#is whether they like to inflict pain (like brenner) or if theyre just a flawed human beings (good but nuanced)#girl whos been thinking abt karen all day <- me

my favorite tumblr phenomena is people reading greek myth retelling offline, doing a little bit of research, then logging on to be like wait [x character] is a bad person?
#listen i dont think that these people are dumb or anything and i think they have a passion for this stuff thats really admirable#its just that the way that fandom (which is why these retellings are written imo) isnt equipped to handle de-problematizing an entire#culture yknow. most fandoms can't even handle having a woman or a complex character without flattening them into a stereotype#so like its not surprising. kinda sucks though. is x character really a bad person or a complicated representation of an ancient culture's#values. pop quiz rn#talking tag#actually i reread this and i want to say ancient hellenic culture isnt a monolith. fandom isnt equipped to de-problematize ONE culture let#alone a whole bunch of interconnected cultures

through all the practice sawashiro fights ive done this morning ive decided he has a really weird grudge against eri for whatever reason
#snap chats#IM CRYING#THE PAST LIKE FIVE RUNS HE'S TARGETED HER THE MOST#there was a run where joon-gi got the shit of it but for the most part it's just been eri#and she'll be on the cusp of health and ill be like 'well i can just heal next turn' and then Next Turn happens and he beelines for her#LIKE LEAVE HER ALONE SHE JUST SELLS CRACKERS WHAT IS YOUR DAMAGE. feminist king he's prioritizing the woman#bro found out her company's called 'ichiban confections' and saw red. literally Lol Hi Ichi#anyway. ive figured a new strat to get out of his second phase faster since that's The Problematic Phase#in my notes it says to buy two (2) rocket launchers before leaving sotenbori but i cant ?? find out where the second one's meant to go#one of them's meant for kiryu but after the kiryu fight i have in my notes to buy two more so. and you can only hold two launchers#this aint RE4 shit where you can just rocket launcher your way through the game LMAO#but yeah BEGRUDGINGLY listening to yokoyama's speedrun advice for once#ive routed in a rocket launcher as soon as the second phase starts#with any luck At Most i'll only have to deal with one or two cane strikes#so if i can just buff out the timing then this fight shouldn't be all that scary anymore#im slightly skeptical on my numbers since in this file i have adachi was one level short of getting the essence of shield rupture#so i had to do a little extra grinding but i dont think it'll be that different from a live run. i just want to perfect the guarding anyhow#y7's stats arent really revolved around your party member's levels its more around their equipment. level's important sure but not overly s#i thiiiink im getting better at it: ive figured that when he uses vile mutilation during the first phase it's a quicker guard vs vile enmit#just gotta get the feel of it down..#after my class i think im gonna have a Boss Fight Practice stream#im p sure i have a speedrun save right before the millenium tower and i think im gonna quickly make kiryu and ishioda ones#since im right here anyway#ok by i have twenty minutes Until that class lmao

Got very weirded out when this viewer got into "Bayonetta didn't have to hide her femininity or be one of the guys to be powerful" because I thought for sure a Viola dig was imminent.
#I get what these type of comments are getting at but it's also always like.#'one of the guys' name a female character that ever really gets to be one of the guys.#like every time someone has to complain about the death of femininity whenever a woman so much as wears pants#and every time we have to put down this hypothetical woman who hates (typically an incredibly narrow definition of) femininity#and is 'one of the guys'#as if female characters who are 'one of the guys' is some sort of highly problematic epidemic#I just think you can celebrate Bayonetta being feminine and powerful without going 'thank god she's not masculine in any way'#there's also a point where I'm like 'yeah ripping the heads off of angels that's a girlish thing to do'

It's not that I find Pretty Woman (1990) particularly compelling (like I understand if you do, I see the appeal, but it's not Gary Marshall's best film imo). I'm more just surprised that I haven't found more fanfics that are tagged "inspired by pretty woman". It frankly seems tailor made for hurt/comfort au fics
#ramblings of a lunatic#not to be the friend that's too woke but is it just sex worker sigma? nobody wants to write their blorbo as a lady of the night (/j)?#or is it the opposite. are ppl in fandom too aware of the ''saved sex worker''s problematic narrative implications#...is it neither and actually it's that pretty woman isn't compelling enough in it's own right to inspire ppl to write a riff on it#sorry this is coming off as pretty woman 1990 hate I REALLY DON'T it's just. aggressively fine#like it's structured like some fanfics i read where so much of the plot is spent on fluffy antics and conflict is shoved into the backhalf-#-and overall it's a fun comforting time but there was never any point where you felt a terrible amount of tension#and to be clear I'm not knocking fanfic for oft having this structure like i feel fanfic (fundamentally a hobby) has a lot more leeway#to play with both genre quality form and purpose than perhaps mainstream commercial film does idk#anyway. weird thought i had. might be a bad one.

Can we stop all normalising the use of "sc*rvy" as a fun little thing to call people?? I literally had sc*rvy last year and it was even worse than when I got my hand cut off.

Daemon literally choked Rhaenyra on the show and not in a kinky way.
I think I vaguely remember hearing about this?
Which is...certainly something in the face of all the "wife guy" jokes I also and more consistently heard about Daemon.
Also certainly something that the consistent violence by men toward women on GoT was (rightfully) criticized, but I haven't seen reams of Discourse™ about this particular ship.
(Also certainly something else that Cersei was always blamed for every single thing in regard to her relationship with Jaime and you never heard the fucking end of it, but whatever Daemon does is fine for some reason? misogyny the reason is misogyny)
And again. People can ship whatever they want. People can like characters who aren't good people. I don't think this ship (i.e. D/R) would be particularly interesting to me (for a variety of reasons), but I'm not going to say that someone is a Horrible Person™ for shipping it. Just don't try to weirdly moralize a dynamic like this by saying that it has no problems? To the point where it's some strange Exception™ to what you would otherwise consider a completely unacceptable thing to explore in fiction? Genuinely, what does that accomplish. It really is just the hypocrisy for me.
You can like a fraught or unhealthy or problematic or [insert similar adjective here] fictional dynamic. I like plenty of those. But I don't understand this trend of going, "Well my preferred type of Dark Fictional Content is acceptable and fine for THESE arbitrary reasons. The rest of you should burn in hell for the Dark Fictional Content YOU enjoy though," and it is starting to get insufferably annoying.
#multi t(ASK)ing#tw: incest mention#tw: domestic violence#tw: choking#I did not fight in the TRENCHES for YEARS and get HARASSED AT CONS for people to turn around and pull this shit lmao#(still thinking of that one time I got hit on with an incest joke BY A PANEL MODERATOR IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE because I was#cosplaying cersei.......truly you can't make this shit up)#you really can just say 'this example of this narrative device worked for me and this other one didn't' and leave it at that. no one#will die if you do that I promise. it's really easy.#you can also say 'I like exploring [x] topic and not [y] topic'. this is also really easy and no one will die if you do it.#and like. again 'a man is flawed a woman is a one-dimensional bitch' we know this we know this is how fandom operates#but I think there's also something to be said here about pRoBLeMaTiC m/f dynamics where the man is considered the worse person#vs where the woman is considered the worse person. the first one is interesting and edgy-in-a-cool-way and somehow becomes#generally palatable to a large portion of the audience. and the second is...you're the devil incarnate for finding it interesting. or at th#very least you will be disparaged/made fun of if not outright harassed for having any kind of positive reception to it. (and then a lot#of times if it's a show they'll extend this behavior to the irl actresses who play these characters)#salty mc13 is salty#and I REALLY don't want this to come across as me saying 'anyone who likes this character is Automatically A Raging Misogynist'#or 'if you find something interesting in this dynamic you Inherently Suck As A Person' I'm just tired of how wildly fucking inconsistent#ya'll (general fandom 'you' I mean) are in regard to how you evaluate and process fiction. either you think this topic is Always Bad#To Write About or you don't. you don't get to say Always Bad Except For The Times I Enjoy It that's not how it works that's not how#media/literary analysis works!!!!!

whenever I see the occasional critic that the Dean (community) is problematic lgbtq representation I think of that scene in the last episode of the show where Britta tells her hypothetical pitch for a season 7 where she says if she made their lives a show she’d change the Dean from an insane queer man with a gender and sexual identity that is apparently so complex he refuses to explain it to anyone or identify with any particular lgbtq label to a cisnormative trans woman and cut out “all that other stuff” to make the Dean more positively representative of what most normal queer ppl r like and the Dean looks aghast and horrified as if he was just called every slur in the span of a minute bcus someone literally just casually said to his face that she would choose to make his identity and personality more palatable and easy to understand so that the lgbtq community won’t get a bed rep bcus in a show he’d be “bad representation”. Like lmfao 10/10 no notes. Community really said unproblematic lgbtq representation meant to make the community look good has so many more offensive implications then insane queer characters who don’t give a shit and that’s on period

taylor swift changed better than revenge boooooo I hate her now
#I listened to this song specifically to see if the lyrics changed and they did#idc if it's problematic or whatever bc it's really not that bad#for those of you that don't know. the original lyric is 'she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress'#which yeah okay I get it but it's really not that offensive AND it's an old song. it's not like she wrote that line today#the new line is like 'he was a moth to the flame she was holding the matches' or something like that#the entire song is about hating a woman bc of a man so having one questionable line isn't that bad I swear#yeah the line is repeated but like. who cares#she probably has worse lyrics idk I'm not a swiftie especially not now#just own the bad lyrics bro don't change them#this is a joke post btw I don't actually care#except I do#Sera
