I'm gonna get a little salty real quick on here, but I kept thinking about this for the past few days and it's just driving me mad so.
I'm - and have been, really - annoyed with Tracer's treatment both from the fandom in general and Blizz, especially with the next gen of Overwatch. They cannot, and will not, commit to placing her somewhere and committing to it. And while yes, that's kinda her schtick in a way, a person sliding between times and not really fitting in with either, it's clear that they didn't plan that; they just forgot about her.
Lena was literally leading the Havana mission. She was being overseen by Sojourn, but she was the point woman on it. Her calls, her plans, took down Max. She's seen plenty of combat, more than half the roster if you go by the shorts alone, and yet, there is no talk of bringing her up into leadership during Recall. She was the first one to answer, but oh no, we can't have a Recall unless Cassidy comes in and saves the day - and this is not a hate on Cassidy at all, it's an important plotline for him to go from essentially forced servitude to running the show - but still, she's just considered the 'funky pilot'.
It's canon again and again that Jack had a vested interested in her. She was to Jack what Cass was to Gabe. And yet she is continously overlooked in lore and just in fan stuff. And I absolutely hate to play this card but it does make me wonder that, if she was male, would more people support it??? idk man I'm just super salty today.
#Not to mention everyone overlooking her backstory with the slipstream#it's just frustrating to care this much about a character and see her stepped on again and again#she has leadership!!!! experience!!!!!#Boots on the ground#taking care of her shit#leadership experience#idk man it would just be nice if we saw some more representation of her being considered the soldier she is#not just the plucky pilot#I know i was messing around the other day but she's a decorated war hero#everyone else in that picture with the medals and petras has a storyline or is getting one built as we move more into ow2#and she's just left as 'yeah she's cool i guess'#anyway I'll delete this but man I see it everywhere and I don't know how to shake people and explain to them#that she's literally a combat veteran and should be treated as such#that doesn't mean she's all powerful#she still is human at the end of the day (kinda)#but she's got such an untapped backstory that is just kinda spit on that makes me tired#( ooc. )#vent tw

tom taylor has truly rotted online disk horse cause wdym people are seriously upset that during an event where heroes lose their powers this guy is the one who starts ordering people around
he’s very bossy and likes being in charge. no of fence but ofc he’s going to lead instead of flash on a motorbike or an aquaman who can’t swim
#be honest — it’s annoying he’s the focus all the time. but bffr he has more leadership experience than almost anyone in that room#THATS HIS ENTIRE THING#‘why are people following the stupid sidekick’ idk man maybe cause he’s been leading teams since 1964. get a grip#nightwing#dick grayson#dc comics#spokes#it’s fair that waid can’t write diana for shit and she deserves a spotlight but diana drgaf about leading historically so. anyway

I wish ‘talks too much about gardening and milkweed but not in an eloquent way and has blogs but not in an eloquent way’ was a job I could be paid money for
Job hunting sucks ass thank you for coming to my tedtalk
#out of queue#ani rambles#may delete later#i want a job to have until I land animation work but my parents dont want me to do retail#but everything else is like ‘do you know chainsaw? do you have years of prior experience#do you know euthanasia? do you have a scientific degree? prior leadership experience?#oh by the way low wage. also fuck off.’

despite having as loaded a past as they do, bioware firing mary kirby is legitimately the most insane decision they've made to date, bar none
#along with their narrative programmer :) hello! is that even a job someone can train for?#and mary. has what. fifteen. twenty years?? of experience? how do these things work?#the layoffs? how much power does EA wield here? does studio leadership just stand by and watch as a major pillar of their writing gets it/#i dont give a shit about the games truly. they can be as great or as rotten as circumstances allow. what the fuck ever.#but how do you fire mary kirby. lol. lmao even#text#negativity

A lord would have gold for a certainty, they all did; perhaps he would pay some of Lord Tywin's own sellswords to take her to Riverrun. Father had always said that most sellswords would betray anyone for enough gold. (Arya VII, ACOK)
One thing about Arya, her chapters are going to be casually littered with little lessons and tidbits of information that have proven relevant to characters with leadership positions
#arya stark#asoiaf#I was looking for a different quote when I found this but tbh small stuff like this is what makes me think she'll be a leader 🤷🏾♀️#it's not even just the knowledge itself it's the fact that she thinks of how she can use that fact to her advantage and plan around it#Arya has a very strategic/analytical mindset and it's very underrated#I'm also never going to stop talking about how much she learns + remembers from Ned cause it's a lot#low-key feel like it's George's way of supplementing her lack of official leadership experience#such a small thing but then there are so many moments like this that add up into something significant

brennan 'homeschooled' mulligan heard that student government is just a thing that looks good for college applications and assumed that Riz will jump on it after the mom convo bout college troubles, unaware of how much it is a glorified popularity contest that low charisma pc would never attempt
#pretty funny mistake honestly#kristen has third highest charisma(16)#inspiring leader feat#and has the most (compared to other's none) leadership experience with being a prophet#if given the objective 'student president' to group of players to 'win' it Kristen is the Optimum#simple as that#og post#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year spoilers#fantasy high junior year

Eärien and Valandil parallels Rings of Power Season 1
#this post is a placeholder for a meta i'm writing which compares their character arcs and argues they have much more in common than not#i am SO OVER people acting like Eärien is a bad person for not having faith in current leadership#and also annoyed by them treating valandil as 'the good one' in his response to the loss in the southlands#they are equally motivated by grief and loss#but their experiences differ quite a bit#earien has lost every single member of her family#they have either died or left her (in case of elendil this is long standing emotional neglect)#her worst fears came true and still her father is not there for her or listening to her#so naturally she turns elsewhere as she seeks justice#and valandil isn't making 'right' choices so much as he's stood by leaders who share his specific trauma and have supported him personally#anyway i love them both and i refuse to let them be pitted against each other#rings of power#earien#valandil#elendil critical#i love him but he's objectively not a great father to Eärien in the context of the show#i actually do have more to say...later#ANYWAY#rop op#my edits

every byler creator who has ever felt unappreciated or has never seen their work on a rec list or has stayed awake for hours working on something for it to get no interaction or has had their work passed up in favor of the big fandom favorites or has never been taken a chance on or has ever come last in a poll they didn’t ask to be on or has felt self conscious about posting or about calling themselves a creator if what they’re posting is not a magnum opus or has created something for themselves and still hoped deep down that people would love it: get behind me. i’ll protect u
#i’m five foot three and terrified of confrontation but i’ll go down swinging#andi would like me to add that she and i are standing on top of each other in a trench coat fighting for u all#thea is also wearing a trench coat but it’s just her and tutter in there#u all better fear thea’s fully developed frontal lobe and streamlined leadership experience (her words)#but seriously guys like#maybe i’m taking fandom too seriously or whatever but i know how scary it can be to put urself out there#especially in fandom spaces where the whole point is u want to enjoy urself and be accepted and not be judged#i’d be lying if i said that luck and timing wasn’t a huge part of why ppl enjoy my fics#and i’m flattered that my name shows up in rec lists a lot but. there are so so so many talented writers that go unnoticed when ppl fixate#on the same 5-6 names#and i know bc i’ve been them for other fandoms!#especially in this community there is such a big issue with putting big creators up on a pedestal#expecting them to be perfect and to keep churning out high quality stuff for free on demand#twt is something else too . like i’m not even talking abt that rn#and people always saying stuff like#‘atp i refuse to read fics unless they’re by _ or _ or _’#just know that even if u are not one of these names u are so so valued and appreciated#get behind me fr#ok Bye <3333333#🫂#byler#/astro posts

I hope you all know the reason Sanji specializes in observation haki is because he's a cook.
You spend that much of your life working in a kitchen, having to keep track of half a dozen things on the stove/in the oven, making sure they're all done at the same time, being aware of where everybody is around you, and a dozen other responsibilities
Yeah. Observation is just kind of a default state for him at this point.
#one piece#black leg sanji#also there's a post floating around about his leadership skills#and i need you to know that's also a result of working in a kitchen#i am once again reminding you that i am also a trained cook#everything i say about Sanji being a cook comes from personal experience

HIIIIIIII BONES what faction(s) does tiberius join? and which companions is he closest with? :]
HIII EZRA THANK YOU SO MUCH :] this got insanely long because i have. so much to say about this game it's unreal i'm very sorry in advance. but hope you enjoy ^_^
so in my canon of fallout 4, there's a couple of things different from the game because i personally don't think of tiberius as a leader in any sort of way, mainly because he's like. 23 years old. that's a literal baby. he was only born yesterday fresh out of the freezer
so!! that means that the minutemen are already very much established in the commonwealth again when he emerges from the vault, and there's a lot of sprawling settlements to be found in places where you'd otherwise have to build them yourself in game; so sanctuary isn't abandoned at all, and tiberius returns to his sister's home with a special surprise waiting for him (every other house in the neighborhood is now home to a bunch of strangers centuries into the future! welcome home boy!)
that said, tiberius DOES end up sort of joining the minutemen?? but not officially. he meets preston in sanctuary who helps him get settled in in this new and strange world and in return to show his gratitude tiberius helps out wherever and whenever he can, but considering the path of revenge he's about to go on he doesn't really consider himself good enough of a person to like. fully be part of it if that makes sense?? especially since the minutemen aim for as much peaceful resolution of things as possible, and he is not like that :(
tiberius massively dislikes diamond city, and feels a lot more at home in goodneighbor. he does some mercenary work there for a while and that's also how he ends up with the railroad, which he Does officially join :] a bunch of my other fallout ocs are also railroad agents; max, who's also general of the minutemen (don't ask how she finds the time to juggle all these different jobs she doesn't know it herself either); magnus, who's a goodneighbor guard; and nikolai, an ex-raider who now does a bunch of stealth operations for the railroad. tiberius takes his job as agent very seriously and through his new connections becomes more involved with the minutemen as well, now that he knows the two work together to give escaped synths a new and safe home and such :]
he does NOT join the brotherhood of steel. he hates them so fucking much it's unreal. to him they're literally just invading the commonwealth with the way they're terrorizing settlements and forcibly establishing their own outposts and whatnot and it causes a lot of chaos everywhere which is NOT ideal at all. max is handling most of the situation but she's clearly under a lot of pressure and it makes tiberius want to blow some shit up. which he eventually does when everything has escalated so far that there's not really another way to deal with it anymore
he only joins the institute to infiltrate them for the railroad, and he is NOT having a good time during it. he dislikes shaun (his nephew, not his son!) so fucking much but there's nothing he can do about it. i'm trying to make the institute a bit more interesting but it's still a work in progress because well the game leaves a lot to be desired on that front to me personally but either way, the whole place makes him super paranoid and he quickly realizes that it's a LOT bigger than what it's making itself out to be. the area he's allowed to be in seems just a little bit too well-organized and streamlined as if it's all pre-programmed and he constantly feels like he's being watched. which he is! because he ends up finding proof of a lot more levels that go much deeper into the ground and while a lot of them seem to be abandoned, he does end up finding evidence that there's more people holed up Somewhere. and they're watching everything that's happening in the area of the institute he's allowed to be in. it's all part of something bigger and he does NOT like that shit
lastly, tiberius ends up with the children of atom :] kind of against his will?? but also he's not really being forced to stay so it's kind of a gray area really. basically what happened is that he went to the glowing sea, ended up passing out because he went by himself like the stubborn mf he is and the children of atom take them to their crater to nurse him back to health but also give him like. some sort of special radiation cocktail of some sort which ends up making him a bit of a freak. much more resilient, much more absent as well, a bit faster than he used to be. he's basically their chosen one because i feel like out of all factions it'd make most sense for the children of atom to be weirdly obsessed with him like he's a perfectly preserved human from before the war. that IS kinda fascinating
either way tiberius doesn't really mind being part of them all that much because it puts him in like a negotiator position if that makes sense?? the other factions all have their other touching points where he isn't all that needed to create connections and stuff but having this extra connection with the children of atom who are mostly feared by the rest of the commonwealth helps a LOT with keeping peace and all that, so it's beneficial for all parties involved because it also means that tiberius can just freely enter any of their outposts and he can rely on them if he needs them for anything :] the children of atom are a lot more willing to assist him with something that may be a bit shady than the minutemen or railroad would basically so it's a good backup to have LMAO
as for companions, tiberius is closest with preston 100% :] when he emerged from the vault, preston was the first person who talked to him and didn't treat him as a possible threat, and he helped him get settled in which tiberius will always be grateful for because he was so so scared. and preston made everything a little bit easier. he's very caring and patient and matches tiberius' funnyman energy surprisingly well when they're joking around, which would all remind tiberius a lot of his sister stella. preston Would in fact be like a brother to him :]
he enjoys hanging out with piper and nick, but only sparingly so since those two just love to investigate stuff and a lot of their time hanging out ends up turning into business of some sort and tiberius does NOT have the detective's spirit! he likes being clueless. he does not always need to know everything. he does like tagging along but sometimes he just wants to SIT and have a beer or something
which, naturally so, makes hancock better company for him. tiberius did a couple of gigs for him personally (and got to know him much more intimately during a wild night with both him and magnus but we don't talk about that) and he likes to stop by goodneighbor regularly for a drink and to talk about shit that's been going on lately. since magnus and hancock are together, magnus is there a lot as well but tiberius sees him a lot more regularly at the railroad too :]
that being said, the railroad is definitely tiberius' main hub for hanging out with people he loves the gang SO much. his best friends there would be nikolai, glory (she's alive yes obviously), deacon, and tinker tom :] and also max but tiberius sees her a LOT more at the castle since that's by the end of the in-game events also a place he can be found at a lot. he doesn't take a lot of minutemen jobs but he does help out on location with whatever they need, plus the castle is a huge and busy marketplace which would be super fun to visit (especially at night) so he just likes hanging out there in general! that's also where he hangs out with cait and roxy (max' wife) whenever he gets the opportunity
tiberius' relationship with x6-88 is. strained. on a surface level he likes the guy, but his loyalty to the institute definitely gets in the way of their friendship a lot at first. i haven't entirely figured out yet how to like, get x6-88 on tiberius' side in a satisfying way that doesn't feel out of character for him?? but that's basically what i'm aiming for, because the two DO spend a lot of time together away from the institute itself which would give tiberius a lot of opportunities to show x6 what the commonwealth is really like. and what the institute's reputation is and all that. and with x6 getting attached to tiberius during all of that he WILL be forced to pick a side at the end of it all. and i personally don't think he would side against tiberius after spending all that time building up an actual friendship for the first time in his life
surprisingly enough, tiberius and maccready did NOT!!! get along well at first AT ALL. when tiberius was taking gigs in goodneighbor he was unbeknownst to him stealing away a lot of mac's clientele so naturally mac has very one-sided beef with him. especially because both of them are like. babies. i can't remember maccready's exact age but that's a baby. and tiberius is one too. and they're both competitive and kinda stupid so when they first "officially" meet there's this insane tension between the two of them and every conversation they have is just a pissing contest. they've been kicked out of goodneighbor together on at least one occasion because of their near screaming competitions
(at some point after the battle of bunker hill and tiberius has temporarily broken ties with the institute because shaun's attitude pissed him the fuck off he goes to goodneighbor with his friends and after a drink or two too many he agrees to a bet maccready makes with him about killing elder maxson. tiberius succeeds by knocking out a brotherhood pilot and pretending to be the pilot instead, sort of successfully flying a vertibird up to the prydwen, somehow knocking out a guy in full power armor to then steal said guy's power armor, killing elder maxson (who by then has committed enough war crimes including but not limited to laughing max in the face when she tried to talk to him about a possible collaboration in hopes to keep the peace in the commonwealth) with a pipe pistol, and then jumping down(!!!!!!!!!) in the power armor to make his escape by walking over the bottom of the ocean on the shoreline in the power armor. he brought the guy's coat and dogtags with him as proof. maccready was turned on and angry about it)
but after traveling together for a while, tiberius and maccready learn they have a lot more in common than they initially thought and they grow closer over time :] i adjusted mac's story as well by making lucy his older sister rather than his wife (HE'S A BABY. HE DOESN'T NEED A WIFE AND A CHILD IN THIS ECONOMY) and duncan his nephew, so it's still a direct parallel to tiberius' story except lucy is still alive but missing, whereas stella is in fact very much dead. at first it makes tiberius feel frustrated and upset in a very selfish way, but it helps him with like, allowing himself to grieve for the first time since he exited the vault which by then is a LONG time ago, and then it also helps him with moving on from it rather than staying stuck in the past. helping mac with curing duncan and finding lucy helps the both of them and after all that they end up getting together :]
SO YEAH. very bumpy road for tiberius all in all and he makes connections in a bunch of different places, but he's always just a gear in the machine rather than the one operating the machine if that makes sense :] he feels a lot more at ease when he can actually make a difference at his own pace rather than having everyone look up to him constantly, the closest he got to that was when he was the one to infiltrate the institute and he has NEVER been that stressed before in his life. he makes it out alive and relatively unharmed but good lord. he's never doing that shit ever again
#asks#elgaravel#ask:tiberius#oc asks#this got so long i'm so sorry but i can never just stay on topic i always have more things to say#i loveeee thinking about fallout 4 though. i love adjusting things to suit my story better#things for the institute are still cooking in my brain but i do like to keep things a bit mysterious and vague on purpose#because the whole thing is that tiberius does NOT know what's actually going on!! and it makes everything so much more tense#and to keep it a mystery even after he's blown up the institute. or at least what he thinks is the institute. i think that adds something#to the story that revealing all secrets at the end would kinda take away. because this keeps that paranoia in there if that makes sense#even after being destroyed the institute continues to make people feel on edge and i LIKE that shit. haunting the narrative and all#like yes it's been destroyed but if it was bigger than what it seemed to be then IS it really all destroyed#are there more locations. was this all just an experiment. does vault-tec have more to do with it. who knows! not tiberius!#he's just a guy!!! and that is Very important to me. like in a way yes he IS special he's pre-war and not a ghoul or anything#but also he is not suited for leadership positions. he will step up when he has to when there's no alternative but he would rather not#and just. the children of atom being obsessed with him felt right to me i can't explain that. like that just Makes Sense

I actually don't see the lifespan thing as a huge issue though. Sure, it means their time together will be limited from the Doctor's perspective, but that's also the case with every other relationship they have with humans? As a Time Lord surrounded by shorter lived species, it's just a fact that they will outlive almost everyone they love. idk why it would be more of an issue here than with their friendships or surrogate family relationships?
Also it's a bit weird to me that people act like only, say, Romana or maybe River could be the Doctor's equal because plenty of the other companions are 1. adults 2. perfectly capable of holding their own against the Doctor.
#obviously there is an experience gap#but imo the bigger power imbalance is simply the fact that the Doctor has to take responsibility for their safety#and tends to assume a leadership role + frequently withholds information#anyway this is making me sound a lot more pro Doctor/companion shipping than I am. I just think it's not necessarily that deep#they don't have to be inherently problematic for you to prefer platonic companion relationships#Ranger shut up about Doctor Who

the fanon sibling perception of a seven sibling fam re: the Feanorians is really funny from the perception of one of seven, particularly Maedhros and Maglor. No I will not elaborate
#song being loud#silmarillion#Okay maybe a little#The spiraling exaggeration of Maedhros' handful of leadership and political awareness into 'oldest sibling raised all the kids Yada yada'#is fun and only fun#that's just Not How Sibling Groups that Large work#Obviously my experience doesn't speak for everyone#But it usually splits into smaller units within the larger body#which Tolkien actually does#See M&M#C&C#And Caranthir and the Twins#Would Maedhros flex his Oldest ™ muscles?#Probably#but not nearly as often as fanon goes with#Those smaller units have their own oldest middle youngest dynamic#or just older younger if its in twos#My balance in comparison to the F-boys (feanorian boys lmao/#Is 12-345-67#And those groups formed when we were in childhood#not as adults#Its obviously fun to think of them being all loving and such as kids#But it feels just disingenuous enough for my suspension of disbelief to be rather precarious

Choosing to end a battle or a war with yourself or externally does not constitute weakness , it exemplifies great strength and honour, for you have mastered the lesson, extracted the wisdom, and have decided to choose peace over destruction. Your struggles develop your core strength and experience no one can take away from you because when you decide to move forward you are building not from nothing but from experience.
