#im so damn pissed

[dark-night-hero]

You're not gonna believe what I just come across to. A 'stranger' just told me-us. That "You all are worst than a pyscho girl" because WERE CRYING OVER SOME FICTIONAL CHARACTER. because JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T HOLD ANY IMPORTANCE TO US. Then when I go telling 'em what's your deal, they be snapping at me saying they should be the one asking that, and I was like 'not coming from em who literally told us were a worst than psycho because we cry over some fictional characters.' And they be replying 'You're literally doing the same as psycho' and 'and why you so mad?'

Honestly I just stopped replying because I knew I ain't getting out of them other than that same reply, plus the admin of the group came to check and stop us from any more arguments.

Honestly I don't mind being mocked/teased upon crying for some fictional character but calling me-us worst than a psycho because we love/adore nonexistent fictional characters. That, that seens to be going too far. Plus questioning us why we even spent time crying over fictional character while remaining close minded. I'm so jhuahgsuaihduus. I'm not mad, it's not the first time someone pointed that out.

But the way they just said/typed things makes me feel like those feelings I have for those characters were just nothing at all in which they're not. JUST BECAUSE THEY AREN'T REAL DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE FEELINGS FOR THEM NOR TO EVEN CRY FOR THEM. I'm not even talking about romantic love, I'm talking about the friendly love of a friend to a friend even though they aren't around. I'm talking about the parental love whenever you felt proud when that certain characters achieve something.

I cry for fictional characters because they mean so much to me that I felt the pain when they were described to be in pain. I feel a hint of pain when they were suffering. I want to hug them when they’re feeling lonely, I always felt like I'm watching over someone whenever I grew attached to that character. Fictional characters aren't just some characters that doesn't exist. Even though they don't in rl, they exist and will always exist in my heart.

Who cares if they're fictional? Who cares if they don't exist in real life? Who I cried for, someone I wasted my tears for us entirely up to me, don't you dare utter a single word about it being weird or pyscho because you would never understand that feeling.

At the same time I feel bad for them because they probably haven't read a good work that makes them feel the same way I felt about those fictional characters. Though if I ever met this stranger in person, I would like to at least smack them on the face for making me feel rage enough to share this to you guys.

I can't stop thinking about how much Spite would've loved Zevran. Take Spite's "Want to? Fly like a dragon?" commentary at Taash to Zevran's "Knives can kill. Even small children, when launched at very fast speeds, can kill." and Spite would've been like:

In light of uh... Recent trigun events on twitter, here's a tihylttw and trigun crossover

[cashmere-caveman]

i honestly think the worst thing that can happen to u as a writer in a fandom is when the compelling dynamics are not the ones u care about like i do NOT want to think about those guys bc ive got other priorities!!!!! ive got my blorbos and those ppl did not make the cut!!! but alas the narratives............

Thinking about punk herstory again...

Why the fuck are there roller skates, dubstep, stage lighting, an LED screen, and all kinds of modern technology in Xilonen's trailer??? I thought Fontaine had the most advanced technology next to Schneznaya and arguably Sumeru, and every instance of high-end technology we have seen leaned more towards machinations with gears, magic, alchemy, essentially fantasy styled sci-fi???

The disrespect towards Native American and African cultures is enough to piss me off already, but it even goes against Genshin's own consistency with its fantastical world design..and for what? Just so you can have this...pop and gamer aesthetic???

Just look at these two bubbly and optimistic characters for me okay

Yoimiya's design isn't the most respectful and accurate representation of a Japanese firework craftsman, but at least you can damn tell she is Japanese. The large ribbons, hair accessories, tassels, leg covering, tattoo design, shoe style, and fabric patterns all allude to this (I apologize for not knowing the exact terminologies for these, this needs further research).

Then there's Mualani who has...what? Please do correct me if I am wrong here, but her character must be inspired by the real Mualani, a Hawaiian Chiefess. Additionally, her tribe's specialty is in tourism and vacationing, which further leads into the idea that she and her tribe are based off of Hawaii despite the known issues regarding Hawaii and tourism (if there are any good sources that summarize the issue, please do lmk).

I am not too familiar with Hawaiian culture, but there really is nothing about her design that reads as Hawaiian, or even just traditional, to me. What about a 2 piece swimsuit with bows and tails, a bow + braids + ponytail hair style, combat gloves (?), and an entire neon shark, is Hawaiian???

The characters, their designs, and their trailers, are just so culturally disconnected from their real life counterpart that it's even disconnected to Genshin's own world building and design. How the fuck is the fashion trend in Natlan denim pants. I feel like the only parts of Natlan that feel like Genshin Impact and culturally inspired are the in-game music and landscapes (God bless Hoyo-mix and the world designers).

yall ever get so mad it feels like a flash bang went off inside your head?

weekes saying all that mythal shit is up to interpretation is so weird to me because instead of worrying about leaving all of solas' past up to vague interpretation to (new) players because you're too chickenshit to stand by your established lore you could've focused on ghilan'nain and elgar'nan and who they were and what they became. elgar'nan literally let the other evanuris slay his wife and he watched on, and then he rotted in a prison made by what he referred to as his wife's "lapdog" and second in command general. and what of ghilan'nain? what is their relationship? why is it just the two of them in that prison when there were more evanuris trapped in there? why are they simultaneously this omnipotent threat capable of spawning blight at will but also two dimensional villains chasing their own tails half the game while solas just poses and speaks in his riddles in the fade. also a fragment of mythal is inside of morrigan, does no part of her gaf that her husband is literally terrorizing the world she loves? hello??

[twowivestwoknives]

look while i'm greatful i had the media literacy to spot immediately that they were gonna do the "if we have a lesbian (esp of colour) she HAS to be a cop" trop with cait and thus was 0% invested in her and Vi from the start, this last szn was just. broke my heart to see what they did to Vi.

breaks my heart more to see so many young queer ppl unironically thinking that is a /good/ lesbian relationship.

like, I know fandom hates butches/gnc/trans lesbians and comma yall are just gonna go ham for a ridiculously abusive relationship? Vi's character has been beaten into submission by loss, by making the "wrong choice" over and over again; now that she has lost everyone who ever mattered, her desperation for Cait isn't out of love, it's out of need to have fulfilled at least one role, one expectation correctly. and she has no one else so she will do anything not to fuck it up. it's textbook trauma responses and coping.

Cait tried to kill her, tried to GAS HER ENTIRE CITY, cheated, tried repeatedly to KILL HER SISTER and isolate Vi from her entire community, demeans her, talks down to her, treats her like she's stupid, and only acts like she likes her when she's running from something and feels out of control herself so needs something (she doesn't even see Vi as a someone) else to control.

At the end, when she called her Violet? I nearly cried. That fucking hurt. And when Vi went back with a pet name? I knew that hurt her too, and she was just trying to appease, appease, appease. She has no one else, she's failed everyone she was told she had to protect, she can't fail anyone else again, but the price of that with Cait is failing herself.

Yall are so happy to see butches be abused and call it goals, and that speaks novels about how you feel about GNC dykes.

sorry him saying he has no idea where the misogyny thing comes from when ludwig just talked about how he sent him a big apology for calling his friend a whore when it was about THE WRONG WOMAN is funny as fuck

i dont think he realizes that the reason no one gives a shit about his apologies and honestly just straight up ignores them is because EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT THEY ARE TRUE he's been proven to lie soooooo many times to the point where you really cant believe a word that comes out of his mouth. he says something and im like "damn maybe i was wrong about that one... i'll look into it" and you get more info and go "oh. he just made that part up. and misworded that. and lied about that part... oh it was actually WORSE than i initially thought!"

as a true geto hater it brings me immense joy to remember that he got packed up by a suicidal anxious loser w/ the power of true love who hadn't even learned his own cursed technique yet and had been studying jujutsu for less than a year
