Good god it sucks actually giving a shit about story, art, writing, etc and being in the persona fandom. Like yeah funny sexualizing minors joke haha yeah dude yu narukami is so chad and pulls so many bitches haha soo true aigis is such a sexy hot robot babe or whatever the fuck. Can we talk about something substantial now?

to put a long story short: at the end of ffxiv's base game, literally Directly before the beginning of its first expansion (heavensward), there is a series of quests and story arcs that eventually snowball into an hour-long cutscene in which the entire thing comes to a head in the literal worst way possible. like, "the hero's plans all go horribly wrong and several major characters die onscreen, with others going missing (presumed dead), eventually culminating in the player character being framed for the murder of the leader of a nation-state and being Literally Forced To Flee The Country" wrong.

heavensward leads directly on from this plotline. you arrive at the major location of the expansion in the midst of seeking asylum whilst being a wanted criminal everywhere else in the world right now. it's like. A Whole Thing. the game makes such a big deal out of it all. the fandom does as well. and for good reason!! it's a really good moment!!!!!!

and then roughly 1/3rds of the way into heavensward you find out that literally none of it mattered. nobody important actually died, no changes were actually made to the status quo, and nothing comes of being literally kicked out of the country for (what is implied to be) several in-universe weeks, if not months. None Of It Mattered. None.

TLDR; the bloody banquet is a major, exciting, and very infamous twist that seems like it's going to segway into a MAJOR upheaval of the status quo and some really intriguing ramifications for the story as a whole... and then heavensward does away with literally all of that and practically writes the entire thing off as a waste of time.

you may be able to see why i'm so salty about it.

Can I say something potentially controversial.

I do not care for a lot of popular fandom interpretations of horror characters and I care for them even less when people who only know them from these popular interpretations in form of cutesy trinkets and art watch the movies they are from and go 'WAIT THIS GUYS A BAD PERSON??????? I DIDNT KNOW THAT :( YOU CAN'T LIKE THIS CHARACTER, WHY ARE WE CONDONING THIS???'

Like girl. What morals did you think Stabby Blood Soaked Masked Guy was upholding to. He's the Stabby Blood Soaked Masked Guy. He stabs people for fun.

cannot get over how theodore 7th time loop is written actually. 13 year old's suicidal tendencies resolved by having polite conversation with the person he loves most and whom he was doing all that for, and who has never before in his life clearly communicated with him at all, and who due to his own emotional immaturity decided that the best way to protect his desperate younger brother is to never talk to him and act as terrifying as possible around him. one unwell child eliminating another unwell child's problems, that he was contributing to, in a single conversation

like i cant get over how quickly the conflict was introduced and resolved.

Actually, I really wish Tumblr as a whole was less comfortable using feminizing language for gay men, especially gay East Asian men.

also to say “don’t shame osa women because they’re mostly victims of men” is 1) incredibly, boldly wrong to act like lesbians and bisexual women in same sex relationships live in some magical male violence free world and 2) LITERALLY THE POINT! How can you with a straight face say “women who are in relationships with men face domestic violence from them but don’t you dare point that out”

I agree, but imo this whole thing is more ridiculous than the standard arguments over the downsides of dating men bc jakey isn't even used as some kind of serious feminist critique of heterosexual relationships, it's a literal meme. like they really got this up in arms about a joke word that a ton of ppl on this website use, including straight women, since it originated right here w/the "I hope jakey dies" post. have some rfs said it in a more mean spirited way? I'm sure, but that doesn't make it an inherently offensive or misogynistic term. idk how these ppl survive in the world with such thin skin

hate looking for actual resources as to why I shouldn't watch hazbin or any of the stuff by the person who created it and the most prominent (read: loudest) stuff is shit like "UGH I just HAAATE the art style it's so BAD" or "there's just so much SWEARING" like. I don't give a fuck why it doesn't fit your personal taste I'm trying to figure out actual objective reasons to stay away from it lmao

[givingblood]

God I can't tell you how little I give a fuck about that ceo assasination thing, everyone rushing to throw a take out there to get a pat on the back.

You all look unhinged and terminally online.

maybe i'm missing something here, but it always confuses me when i see things like "some autistic people are disabled by their autism and some aren't" or "not everyone sees their autism as a disability". because... autism very much is a disability?! if you're autistic, then your symptoms must be present in a way that is disabling to you in your everyday life. it's literally in the diagnostic criteria. of course the extent to and areas in which you're disabled can vary greatly depending on the individual, but disability is part of the basic definition of autism, regardless of your personal feelings on the matter.

don't get me wrong, it's still much better than "autism is only a disability because of capitalism" because at least it doesn't make sweeping generalisations that aren't even remotely accurate to the lived reality of most autistic people. but it still perpetuates incorrect assumptions under the guise of personal choice, and honestly feels like an attempt to distance autism from disability in general. being disabled is nothing to be ashamed of, and i wish people wouldn't twist the meaning of autism to remove disability from it.

(and yes, that goes for level 1/low support needs autistics as well. i would be considered level 1 (though i wasn't diagnosed that way) and i'm still disabled by my autism! not to the same extent as many other people, sure, but i'm still disabled. if i wasn't, i wouldn't be autistic.)
