#not a villain

*shouts from the rooftops with a megaphone*

Rio Vidal was NOT a villain in Agatha All Along. She was an A N T A G O N I S T.

They are different.

She did not actually do any evil. She is Death. She is impartial. She just wanted her wife to forgive her and come back so they could be a family with their son at long last.

Yes, she tried to kill Agatha. Yes, she hurt Agatha Very Badly, but she would have healed her. Agatha dying would have brought her home, would have reunited her with their son in the afterlife.

She was GENTLE with the souls she ferried, especially their own son. She held his hand and smiled and reminded him to kiss Agatha goodbye. She comforted Alice in her own way.

Yes, she tried to hit her wife with the kitchen sink, but in her defense Agatha was being super stubborn.

Ok, so, I already talked about how I belive Barb wasn't the villain, but an anti-villain in this post

And I'm here to add to it!

"No spats, no tiffs, no fighting"

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

The way she looks at the girl with sadness, maybe? I don't know, but you know what I know? This isn't an expression of power, or cruelty. She genuinely loved her people!

She wants the kids to grow up in a world without fighting!

Something that stood out to me is how in the first episode of season 2, Shadow says Nine and the others aren't Sonic's real friends, and sonic takes it as him saying Nine and the others aren't real. But in reality is Sonic who doesn't see them as "real", he knows they exist, but he doesn't see them as their own individuals but variations of his friends whoms he expect to behave like the "real" ones. Not being able to separate them from the people he already knew.

Shadows words about not trusting Nine might sound mean at first, but when you think about it, it's like that because he does sees them as the own real individuals, not assuming that just because they're "variants" of Tails and the others that they'll be just like them. Yes, Shadow stuggles with trusting others, but this time it was an actually logical concern. They don't know much about this guy, even if he seems similar to Tails. Also, Nine had already shown to act differently to Tails, so yeah, it makes sense.

There are little pieces of dialogue from Sonic that prove this, like saying "You act just like the real x!" and refering to Nine as "Tails Nine". I can't really explain this well, but it's like on a franchise. All Sonic games have "Sonic" on them because they're by-products of Sonic The Hedgehog, but the game Shadow The Hedgehog doesn't contain "Sonic" since it's not a Sonic The Hedgehog game, but a Shadow The Hedgehog. So, in way, is like Sonic saw Nine as a by-product of Tails (?)

And well, this is completely set at the end of the season when Nine tell Sonic that he's real after Sonic sayd the real Tails would share his sentiments.

Of course, Sonic isn't doing this with ill-intent, nor I'm trying to say bad things about his character. This is mostly to point out how we, as the viewer, were led to believe Shadow didn't saw Nine and the others as real, and Sonic did. When in reality it was the opposite, and as I mentioned before, you could deduce this out of little things Sonic has said since the start of the series.

im just saying, the name aleksander means “defender or warrior of the people”, and the darkling lost his humanity because he took it upon himself to protect all of his people, the Grisha :/

Have you ever heard of the term Second-Lead Syndrome? It's when the audience are rooting for the second lead to end up with the hero even if they know from the onset the hero will choose the other one. I'm not surprised I still see people saying they feel Maxwell should have ended with CC.

CC is gorgeous, sophisticated and smart. Can't blame the people with SLS ( Second Lead Syndrome).

Although I love Niles for CC 😁

if you're trying to get into the head of your story's antagonist, try writing an "Am I the Asshole" reddit post from their perspective, explaining their problems and their plans for solving them. Let the voice and logic come through.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

They will be safe. It doesn't matter who else or what else burns as long as They will be safe.

I will be safe. The hunger and the cold will never touch me again.

Fuck any bitch who's prettier(/cooler/better-liked/better at making dumplings) than me.

Yes, Master

Love me. Love me. Love me. Love me. LOVE ME!

I know the terrible things these so-called "heroes" will do if I don't stop them (<- is absolutely wrong)

I don't want a better future, I want a better past!

No other way to get performance art funded these days

"people show their true colours in life threatening situations" no, they show you what they act like when they're mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen

Reminder: the companies and political entities pushing Project 2025 have addresses and go out to lunch a lot and should never eat a spitless meal for the rest of their lives.

Practice bagpipes outside their secure compounds.

Follow them around ringing a bell wherever they go.

If they are going to be farcically evil, be Animaniacally good. Be the definition of chaotic justice.

Also, vote. It might just kick the ball down the road a bit, but that gives people more time to organize a concerted resistance (in no way on any social media platform) to the fascist creep happening in America. It is possible to take this country from the bastards who control it, it will take work, effort, and occasionally going offline and talking to humans though.
