Prompt 198
Now Bruce was not expecting to reincarnate upon his death. At least he thinks he died, he’s pretty sure he did. There wasn’t any other reason for him to be a well, literal baby. Around two he thinks, which fits well with the fact that it’s around that time that babies start forming memory recall, if he, well, remembered correctly.
But while he knew about reincarnation thanks to Shayera and Carter, he’d never exactly given it much thought towards himself. Because seriously, what were the chances of such a thing as him being given another chance?
So he was quite surprised at his situation, experimentally opening and closing pudgy hands that looked well, just a tiny bit off. He’d never been that pale before, he thinks, even back when he never went outside like, ever.
He turned his gaze towards the mobile above him with a sort of idle curiosity- a mixture of bats (ha) and other trinkets he wasn’t familiar with. It also caused him to get his first good look at his parent, asleep on a rocking chair right next to the crib.
Huh. They had the same pale skin he did, albeit in the light it looked like it was slightly tinted blue, and while their hair was white they didn’t exactly look old. They looked surprisingly well rested for raising a toddler too, unless they had a nanny or something similar… He rolled over, managing to very shakily push himself to his feet with the help of the crib.
Why was standing so hard as a toddler? And why did he have his memories of everything except how he had died anyway?
His head whipped up from where they were staring at his feet when he heard a snort, finding his parent awake and standing. Somehow silently enough that he hadn’t noticed- or he was that easily distracted by the unfamiliar giddiness bursting in his chest.
“Morning little bat,” his parent easily picked him up and held him while he inwardly sighed at the nickname. Of course his bat motif would follow him into this life. A low rumbling almost caused him to jump, his body relaxing before he could fully register the sound. The… purring?
Oh.
He wasn’t human this time around.

Bones someone did a "Worst Parents" poll over on Twitter and it's going about as well as you'd expect.
"God people will do anything to hate on mentally ill male characters" and it's the guy who hits and yells at his son.
"Crowfeather's only crime was being a bit mean" hitting and humiliating your son= bit mean.
Yes these are things I've actually read
I'm not saying Curlfeather (who was pitted against him in the poll) is better or worse than Crowfeather, but I've seen a lot of people downplaying his abuse towards Breezepaw and acting like people are crazy for thinking Curlfeather was better
It's really wild to see it in action, isn't it? When a dad manipulates (Po3 book 2) and smacks his son (Po3 book 3) for absolutely no benefit besides his own ego, it's "mental illness" and ergo not a big deal. As if they think mental illness is a get-out-of-jail free card for child abuse.
The "Crowfeather Mental Illness" Crowd couldn't HANDLE the kind of mentally ill characters that I stan. They are weak and will not survive the winter.
When they say "stop being mean to boys with a disorder" they mean "stop holding an abusive father accountable for teaching his son slurs so he could get back at the ex-girlfriend who dumped him." When I say "stop being mean to boys with a disorder" I mean that I want to give Breezepelt a gun so he can enforce it himself. We are not the same.
#bone babble#Curlfeather's an interesting conversation for 'bad parents' though and imo one of the best examples to discuss#Because she's so much more nuanced than the common mode of WC child abuse#She never physically hurt her child nor did she emotionally belittle her#But she did manipulate her. She did put her into a position of power. And I'm not a hypocrite like certain Hawkfrost stans--#--I think that is very damaging and Frostpaw's feelings are valid and understandable#Curlfeather died one of the most graphic and horrible deaths in the entire series for her child. But... that doesn't fix what she did.#I wish that the books were able to capture the complicated feeling that Frostpaw could be feeling about her mother right now though.#Crowfeather though he was a piece of shit#no ifs ands or buts#he was just Bad and the conversation is HOW bad#fennelposting

Connected Timelines Ramble: Backing off my previous 'Geno has an ex' headcanon, what if Dust happened to be that ex? I can see them bonding over shared trauma: surviving a genocided timeline and losing their brothers.
So when Dust eventually came clean about his past, that he genocided his own timeline [and others under Nightmare], even if he felt guilty and wanted to change, the heartbreak and betrayal Geno would have felt was devastating.
Even if it was originally done to stop Chara, the fact that he continued to genocide other timelines was despicable in Geno's eyes. Dust became the very same person he hated, and all Geno could see when looking at Dust was her. He broke it off instantly and Dust respected his decision and never contacted him again.
Given that Nightmare and Dream have now been at peace for decades, they're often invited to the same get togethers. They've never told anyone else about their previous relationship, so they act all awkward around each other and nobody knows why.
#Aavarambles#dustyscarf#Geno x Dust#geno x reaper#afterdeath#geno sans#reaper sans#dust sans#murder sans#utmv#sans#I want to lock them in a room and study their interactions#These two would not work whatsoever but that's what makes it fun#Geno's certainly being a slight hypocrite here as technically tried to do the exact same thing to his timeline in a different way#But he wouldn't see his method as murder as he would Dust's. If anything he'd probably see it as an act of mercy#Even if Dust accomplished his goal to stop the resets and genocides Geno probably would believe there would have been a better way#[Even if his wasn't any better. Plus the Nightmare stuff was just wrong in all accounts which made the situation so so much worse for him.]#Geno won't admit it but now he does have a level of understanding for Dust and maybe even a bit of guilt for how they ended#[More specifically how trapped Dust must have felt under Nightmare initially constantly continuing the cycle with no foreseeable escape]#(even if they're very close now)#But Geno can't get past that initial feeling of betrayal and horror to talk to him again to just be friends#they're absolute worsties#sans au#aftertale sans#dusttale#CTLorebook

I really hate the use of the word "hypocrite" in the CR fandom because it doesn't let people appreciate the nuances of the characters/situations. This is not to say that the characters don't have their hypocritical moments. I just think there are people who slap the word on a character and call it a day, not even bothering to try to understand it.
I have more to say but TLDR: Hypocrisy is a fact but it feels like an insult because it implies that there is no reason that the contrast of ideas exists.
You won't like to hear this but everybody (including you) is/will be a hypocrite at some point. There are many cases of this, some more severe than others.
As a small example, I hate the sound of other people clicking their pens repeatedly but I click my pen repeatedly all the time. Is that hypocritical? Yes! You could slap that label call it that and call it a day and it wouldn't be technically wrong. However, you could also figure out why these contrasts exist. In my case, my thing with noises has to do with control. I don't mind my pen clicking because I can choose the tempo and decide when to stop it. But others make that exact same noise, I can't control it and I don't know when it'll stop.
Hypocrisy is a fact but it feels like an insult because it implies that there is no reason that the contrast of ideas exists.
This is not meant to say that all hypocrisy makes sense or has reason. Reasonless hypocrisy is one of the foundations of prejudice/discrimination but that's a whole other conversation.
There will also be reasons of hypocrisies existing that you disagree with. However, just because you disagree with the reason doesn't mean that the reason does not exist.
Back to Critical Role
I made this post because of people's reactions to Ashton regarding their views on the gods versus the primordials. During the CR Cooldown, the cast calls Asthon out for their hypocrisy of their views on the gods versus the titans. This is what Taliesin says about it:
"It's the difference between the feeling of being small in front of someone rather than being small in front of everything. Is really what happened, which is instead of having the smallness and raging at the big person, it was 'I'm in the middle of this.' [Asthon] didn't feel separated from it... It was more feeling the place in the cosmos, rather than actual people going 'oh it's you' and you're like 'fuck'."
Of course, you can understand Ashton’s hypocrisy and disagree with the reasoning. That's fine, as long as you see their reasons and acknowledge that they exist. It may not make sense to you but it makes sense to the character.
#that's the reason i try to avoid using the word in cr discussions#an example in the cr fandom#my fave character is orym#i understand and analyze his character a lot#and it's super annoying when people slap the word hypocrite on him and call it a day#because as an analyzer#i know that his character is much more nuanced than that#so i apply that to all characters#what i usually do is call out the contrast of views without explicitly calling it hypocritical#i put more energy into describing the actions than labelling them#because i find that stamping that label on a character feels like a permanent mark on their identity when that is not the case#especially when it's worded as “x is a hypocrite” rather than “this thing x did was hypocritical”#if you can't tell#i took a whole sociology course about this#it was very interesting#btw there is nothing wrong with feeling hurt by the term hypocrite#critical role#critical role fandom#cr cooldown#bells hells#ashton greymoore#if you're reading this far into the tags#thank you for reading#i had way more to say than i originally thought

Me: a character doesn't have to be right to be likeable.
Also me: But Jason Todd also is right and someone should kill the Joker for him and Bruce should give him little forehead kisses and he should have a lovingly prepared meal every day and people in the streets should always smile at him and give him free samples of stuff and Dick should love him and Damian and Steph should admire him and bond with him and he should have team-ups with everyone all the time and he deserves to be loved and to know he is loved and-
#what I mean is: I am very biased and hypocritical#everything I say is to be taken with a huge grain of salt bc whatever I feel about Jason Todd should probably#be included in the DSM-6#new and exciting mental illness#read: blorbo-brainrot#jason todd#holds Jason tenderly in my hands#perfect boy. perfect

A complete travesty in the Good Omens universe? Michael not being portrayed the leader of angels.
She's supposed to be the Supreme Commander, and she's supposed to be the boss. I sincerely suggest you don't fight me on this hill. For Hell's sake, the actress has the perfect vibe... A crime has been commited here.
Therefore, I swear to fix it in my fanfictions. General, I'll do right by you. ❤
If you can't tell, in spite of being on the opposite side, I'm attached to this figure. I'm protective of this figure. I'll defend this figure with claws and teeth.
#watch me being a hypocrite because i always say respect canon and authors do what they wish their word is gospel#but it's good omens and i have a very strange relationship with this universe#also i'm not a hypocrite i can complain all i want it doesn't change canon - nor do i go lashing out at the creators i'm grumbling on a blog#that's the beauty of fandom and fanfiction you make seperate universes and have free reign#if other pricks around here can say they're “fixing” canon for much lamer reasons so can i only i'm right#the beauty of fanwork is you remake what you adore in your own image#good omens#archangel michael#good omens michael#good omens fandom#good omens fanfiction#diary pages#i solemnly swear right here right now...#if you can't tell i have a thing for archangel michael... like in a hierophilic way#my crush from mythology tbh#i said you remake what you adore...#it's more complicated than that for me with go#i dislike most things about go that makes it go#but also i'll always love the story it is a part of me#no no no butchering what mikey's supposed to be was criminal but the actress got her i feel she did great she has the spartan aura#pro tip... never call her mikey XD

i feel a slight weirdness about the huge presence of maned wolves in furry spaces.. as in maned wolves are awesome and one of my favorites animals ever, and they look cool it makes sense why furries like them. but the same way maned wolves and also capybaras are so popular in english internet spaces in art and memes n shit i still feel weirdly defensive about them and somewhat sad that south american animals native from my home country are very appreciated but also it seems like the fact theyre south american is just glossed over and ignored. like does that make sense. that i feel kinda heart broken at seeing a white usamerican furry have a maned wolf fursona and see this animal im familiar with be turned into an American. does it make any sense that for some reason i gatekeep animals
#im not saying its problematic or i hate anybody who ever posted about maned wolves or capybaras ever#im more trying to understand my own feelings and why it upsets me even though its not a big deal#i mean i probably do the same i post about grey wolves and lions and lots of animals from other places im not familiar with#so it sounds hypocrite im defensive of ''my'' animals for some reason#guess i just generally feel very lonely in english speaking mostly usamerican internet spaces as always#a part of me gets represented but never really acknowledged. man i need to talk to more brazilians#🧃.txt

Nah man, I really gotta stop doing certain things
If you don’t wanna read you don’t have to, I’d say it’s KIND OF a vent but not really because I can’t take myself seriously like at all-
First things first there is one major thing I gotta stop and it is I HAVE TO STOP SAYING SORRY 24/7 my PARENTS have told me to STOP BUT I DONT- ITS INFURIATING. It’s like- you ever like try to go cold turkey on a habit that you do but you end up still doing it even if that cold turkey didn’t last for even an hour? YEAH ITS LIKE THAT- it’s a habit that I’ve built slowly upon and now it’s become a problem because anytime I DO say sorry over something minor my parents tell me to stop. I get they’re trying to help me, I love them for that, but it’s difficult when you assume anything you do and that you get a look for is your fault. Not their fault either if anything it’s mine for creating the habit but I’m telling you I just can’t stop it. It’s hard, and I hate it 💀
Second, I am a yapper. And there ain’t anything wrong with yapping first of all it’s just a problem and issue for me because I realize that I ain’t a multitasker. When it comes to be narrating to myself while doing something, chances are, I ain’t getting anything done because im too busy telling my life’s story to A WALL. And it’s especially become a problem because my mom (although is very interested with what I have to say) always tells me that I really just need to get stuff done and over with. I respect that, so im REALLY gonna try and just shut up. And I gotta be honest here I talk way too much for one person dude I just need to stop 😭😅
AND FINALLY, something I’m really trying to stop but it just keeps coming back to me!
Listen if I had the ability to clone myself: I would sit her down and give her a lecture on what she does sometimes ain’t very smart and I REALLY gotta stop doing it.
But I gotta wait, cuz time does take a little bit and I know it’s gonna be a slow process getting these habits to stop. But you know what, that’s okay. I’ll be patient with myself, I’ll try to be. I’m gonna be okay. We’re all gonna be okay together.
🫂
#Vent(?)#Random#I was very tempted to write something but I know that imma sound like a hypocrite for it and it’s a bad example#I don’t want you guys to talk down on yourselves. don’t hurt yourselves. and especially don’t feel like you don’t deserve anything#I know you all do.#and hey you ain’t alone. I mean I’d once say I was the peak of good mental health but look at me now 👍#I mean I seriously cannot take myself seriously like at al in fact I joke about it a lot. but this brain of mine is really thinking of some#diabolical shit I’ll tell you that much#but fr tho guys. it’s okay#we got this. we ain’t giving up on this one. we gotta spite this world that keeps giving you negatives#YOU ARE A POSITIVE! out of all the negatives you get Remeber that you are a positive in this world. and you’re doing great at keep onward!!

small things to stop doing in your fics
(or any kind of writing, but i live on ao3. we begin with flat-out crimes and then slowly start moving into things that just bug me personally but aren’t wrong)
epithets. if i’ve said it once, i’ve said it a thousand times. you should only be using epithets for characters whose names we do not know. they can also be used VERY rarely to break up the repetition of names/pronouns or to emphasize characters’ relationships/viewpoints, ie “his boyfriend” or “the asshole.”
writing out accents. please stop. you can include a couple of small things, like “somethin’” or “ya” (for “you”), but even keep that to a minimum. specific turns of phrase/references go way farther imo to establish a character’s culture/background/etc. a little goes a long way, and doing it repeatedly can make sentences hard to parse. this also! applies! to children and babytalk! have you ever listened to a child speak? toddlers can enunciate pretty well!
not enough commas. put commas before names and titles. it’s not “Hey John” or “I’m on it captain,” it’s “Hey, John” and “I’m on it, captain.” also, put them after discourse markers/interjections such as “well,” “so,” and “now.” you should be writing “So, how are the kids?” not “So how are the kids?” even if your character is speaking quickly, you still want the commas because of grammar. it can occasionally be acceptable to omit them if you want to indicate extreme excitement/panic/anger/etc, but use it sparingly.
too many commas. i’m a comma fiend like the rest of you so i’m guilty here too, but we gotta at least stop with the comma splices. commas split and independent and dependent clause, meaning that one part of the sentence cannot grammatically stand alone. if all parts are complete sentences on their own, that’s a comma splice. try splitting it into two sentences, using a semicolon, or rewriting. this is usually fine in dialogue, though, that’s just how people talk.
also, using a lot of commas to denote panic is something i used to be HUGELY guilty of and now i hate it. instead of, “I, I, I don’t, I don’t know,” you can try, “I-I…I don’t—I don’t know!” probably not that much punctuation that close together, but for the sake of example. emdashes and ellipses, my beloveds 🫶
roleplay speak. i don’t know what else to succinctly call this? i’m referring to the tendency to be redundant and over-explain, especially in dialogue. it’s a phenomenon i see constantly in rp circles, usually because of post length requirements (and i have little issue with it there, it’s just the culture). things like:
“Surprise!” Adam shouted, popping out from behind the door.
“Oh my god!” Scott screamed, having been completely startled and not expecting Adam to be home yet.
yeah, we can guess that Scott is startled, right? because of the screaming? and clearly if Adam is surprising Scott it stands to reason his presence is unexpected? why are we stating this twice?
i believe this also comes from the mistaken idea that every line of dialogue needs a tag attached, which is….horrible. you can let the dialogue exist on its own sometimes, friends. you can also include an action beat without a tag. like above, i could have just said “Adam popped out from behind the door” and omitted the shouting altogether. we can assume he is being loud because that’s usually how people do surprises. anyway. moving on.
condescending to readers. this isn’t so much about writing as it is author’s notes and the like, and “condescending” may be a strong word, but i’m trying to be succinct. at any rate, please stop telling your audience to not read your fic? “do not read if sensitive to [blank]” or “if you have [disorder] skip this fic!” is a horrible way to trigger warn. people know their own boundaries. tell them what the work actually contains and let them self-select.
i also find “rest stop/check-in” type notes condescending, like “if you are reading this between the hours of 10pm-4am, go to sleep” and “STOP! have you eaten/drank/walked around in the past few hours? go do that!” again, we know ourselves. i’m not your kid, don’t tell me what to do. i don’t mind a polite, casual little “thanks for reading, remember to drink water and take your meds, bye” note, though.
the others in this category? i will straight up not read the fic over that on some days. ESPECIALLY because, in my experience, the people who are most intense about warning for every little thing are the ones with the mildest fics, and that’s not what i’m here for.
complaining about your own wrong tags. this is, admittedly, such a nitpick, and it definitely is more common in certain communities than others. but as longtime followers may know, i’m a bit obsessed with ao3’s tagging system and it drives me BONKERS when people use the wrong tags and follow it with “not actually but there’s no tag for xyz.” here’s the thing: you can still look at all the works that have ANY tag, just the non-canonized ones can’t be filtered on. and the best way to get a tag canonized is, guess what, to USE it! imagine that. also, if you’re using the wrong tag, you’re just going to clog the filter results and get people who don’t actually want to read your fic. just stop.
#writing advice#fanfiction#wren writes#writeblr#this has been in my drafts for a while getting things added to it as i come across them#i think it’s good now#feel free to add your own grievances as long as they’re small#last addition was the commas bc i just dnf’d a fic for having like no commas ever#why is every character talking at warp speed i cant focus#also yes i’m a hypocrite bc you can probably find at least most of these in my fics. ik i have the rp speak one very recently. but thats bc#its a rp turned fic and i’m lazy about editing#i dont mind it in that case i think rp fics are fun its when its clearly Not a rp fic that i get annoyed by it

Questionable Images 1/2 - The Question #8 (1987)
#book club#the question#vic sage#dc comics#comics#questionable images#another one of my favorite issues#here you can see vic talk about second chances and get fucked up on drugs#also it contains at least two jokes about vic having no face. higher than there have been so far!#but seriously this issue is really fantastix#it shows you what someone who fights fire like fire is doing in the town of hub city#as well as discussing how 'innocence' can be subjective...#dr spaulding is one of my favorite one off antagonists. hes not cartoonishly evil or anything like a lot of the others.#you can see his motivations and you can see how his morals somehow justify this (while being hypocritical)#and yet you are able to look at it and decide how you feel about his actions & decide what it means when someone is 'innocent'#it forces you to ask yourself how much a person can do before they're irreparably guilty. and whether theres a balance to it.#100 good deeds might outweigh 100 bad deeds. or they don't. and every moment decides whether you're 'innocent' or not on its own.#and at the end you have to ask yourself whether spaulding deserved that. DID the punishment fit the crime? why him and not vic?#it brings up moral issues you maybe didn't think about before.#very very good issue... one i often think about.#WHY WONT TUMBLR LET ME MOVE THESE PICTURES AROUND IM GOING TO EXPLODE#no one is guilty except whoever at tumblr made this impossible

Can’t let the hoes know I kinda fuck with foxlamb
#I feel like a hypocrite bc I dislike narilamb and foxlamb has similar vibes to narilamb#but idk I feel like there’s a difference#like with Nari we were basically forced to do his bidding#granted we can chose to do fucked up shit w/o his input#but like Nari basically used us to free himself#with fox you actively chose to sacrifice followers and ratau#there is an option to sacrifice a heart/pound of flesh for the third questline#but still there’s a choice involved#and if you refuse the fox is understandably upset but he doesn’t push on it#he’s like well ok but if you want to go through with it you know where to find me#and I will fully say that foxlamb with solange is not healthy#well it’s ironically healthier than narilamb#but still relatively not healthy#basically fox is: I can make her worse#and solange is like: I know he’s trying to make me worse and I’m not exactly falling for it but he’s very useful for disposing of spies#idk I have fun lore with them#cosmic chatz#cotl#cult of the lamb

so like. hypothetically if you were in some kind of group and a new person joined and said they remember knowing you like a decade ago but you don't remember them, how well would you take it if they suddenly came up to you a couple of weeks later and said "hey, I know you said you don't remember me and my memory is pretty fuzzy too but I think I was kinda of a dick to you sometimes and I feel like I owe you an apology for that"?
#i am not sure what to do#bc like. I don't think I was very nice to him!#he'd just come and sit and talk w us at lunch sometimes and like#we treated him like an annoyance#(which makes me a fucking hypocrite on top of it all!!!)#but like if he doesn't remember would it be weird to apologise anyway???#part of me feels like it might be selfish???#to say sorry to make myself feel better#even if it makes things weird for him??#yknow???????#Jamie's chitchat

Checking something about Hubie and Pat...
Okay, so far it's kind of normal
Billy's replies are mostly the same.
But then
Branch 1 is Billy saying it's necessary to preach what you can't (won't?) do yourself, Hubert acquiesces, but says only humans can apply this "principle" that borders, if you push it very far, on hypocrisy.
This is the same (more or less) in Pat's localisation.
Branch 2 though?
Pat's Hubert says that it's indeed absurd to preach that "hypocrisy principle" and has a weird mention about humanity being the push that makes people take the lead if needed...
When JP!Hubert reiterates his branch 1 choice : only humans can and must, at times, preach things they cannot themselves do.
WTF Pat meant for Hubert to say here?
Hubie considers that pointy ears, with their longer lifespans, cannot be hypocrites - "preaching what you can't do" doesn't apply to them.
Why?
The last comment is pure Pat's fuckery : Pat's Hubert wants to preserve what makes us humans, ake the ability to be hypocrites? What does it mean, being human? Preaching things you can't do?
But then, even JP!Hubert is kind of shooting himself in the foot : recognising that they chose to fight based on the, per him, exclusive human "preach what you can't do yourself" principle.
So... what is even his point?
Note that those lines follow this one :
If it is between love and hate, then I would choose the latter. The goddess failed to properly govern this world. That is why it is necessary for Lady Edelgard to become the supreme leader of Fódlan.
So what can we make out of this?
"the icky pointy ears failed to govern the world bcs they preached the world to use "power wisely" when they didn't even do it themselves, and only humans are allowed to be faillible, aka preach things they cannot do"
Is Hubie basically going "Pointy Ears BaD" bcs they didn't do enough for Fodlan : they should be able to do what they preach, unlike humans who are expected to... say things but never do them?
Like, they had the occasions (lifespan) and "power" to govern the world and didn't do it? Is he blaming their omission/refusal to govern/rule Fodlan?
Because they have "power" and a long lifespan, they should have been able to enforce their rule/mindest over the people and govern Fodlan, but they didn't do it so now Supreme Leader will do it instead?
I'm a bit confused tbh but in a way, it would make sense with what Supreme Leader's motto tends to, and the traditional "merit might makes right".
To them, Nabateans have power and can (to them) use it, but they didn't govern Fodlan "correctly" so now it's up to Supreme Leader to take the lead.
Now, to an astute reader/player, the kind of "power" Nabateans have is debatable at best, laughable at worst - for all the reasons laid down for the past 5 years - and the double standard JP!Hubert uses here also illustrates the complete lack of agency he believes the "people who are governed" have : those with "power" must use it wisely, and to them, "wisely" means enforcing their will over the others, by force (CF isn't a route where you pick up friends to start a friendly bowling competition) if necessary.
The ones without "power" are non-entities and shouldn't be taken into account.
And anyways, they can do whatever they want, because this rule "power must be used wisely" doesn't apply to them.
Tl,Dr : it's the "Rhea BaD bcs didn't do enough for the world" take with the twist that "humans are free to do whatever they want" since the Nabs didn't use their "power wisely".
but then
the best answer is to remove her armed forces AND make it illegal that she ever interfere/participates/do anything for the world.
To Hubert the Nabs are faulty for not doing enough, and to Supreme Leader they shouldn't do anything anymore.
Tru Tl;Dr : Lizards BaD
#fodlan nonsense#at this rate this entire lolcalisation is a big lump of nonsense#lolcalisation woes#To hubie humans can be faillible and hypocrites but Nabs cannot#why the fixation on their lifespan though#10 to 1 Hubert out of anyone knows what Relics are made of#this entire convo feels nonsensical but given Billy themselves#it feels very creepy#complete with Supreme Leader's words and you have the full picture#I don't believe Hubert's views are much different from hers regarding Nabateans#they bad bcs they didn't do things with their 'powers' but they should never be given any occasions to use said 'power'#so they just bad?#FE16

actually my roman empire is juan borgia's greatest fear being that his family would dislike and abandon him then they ironically ended up doing exactly what he had dreaded the most and it's his family not just hating him but also metaphorically dancing on his grave without even a hint of sentimentality
#the idea of him losing himself in the pressure of the role and the rumors of that he might not be rodrigo's son drove him insane and extreme#like the key concern of his paternity and through that and through the way in which he lets down his family over...#even when he genuinely wanted to protect them but he absolutely did it in a very misguided way#he loved lucrezia and even cesare despite everything and wanted to join their inc&st polycule like that's so compelling to me!!#and just when he wanted a reconciliation with him and opening up to him and pouring his heart out to him#cesare hits him with the very decidedly (and hypocritically) “we're borgias we never forgive” exclusion in his final moment#knowing well that he struggled with the feeling of not being a “true borgia” and cesare knows it and deliberately said it to hurt him extra#then later cesare was begging ''forgiveness'' from rodrigo lmao#juan's character is eternally amusing i fear it's been 11 years now#juan borgia#the borgias#david oakes#text post
