#not born evil

Coriolanus Snow-

Nature vs nurture?

First things first: I am not in any way suggesting, that Snow did not become a truly despicable person later on.

I am not here to defend the horrible crimes he committed in the years after tbosas.

But there is something annoying me to no end(,again) concerning tbosas:

People are out here saying Coriolanus Snow (,in the book,) was a horrible person from the beginning.

Calling him a psychopath and so on.

Saying he was born evil and we should all read the book to understand how twisted he was from the beginning.

As if Snow was born evil, as if teenage Snow already was beyond saving.

I do not agree with that sentiment.

Like, yeah teenage Snow was manipulative.

His inner thoughts often weren‘t kind but cruel.

But there were instances in which he genuinly felt guilt, remorse and other emotions.

He is capable of those.

He is a narcissist, and he does exploit people. But he is not evil.

Not yet at least.

You know what i see reading his(,young Snows,) thoughts?

I see a survivor.

I see someone who was severly traumatized during a war. Who was abused and neglected.

I see someone who had to adapt to an unforgiving society in oder to survive.

As a survivor myself i understand.

I don‘t see someone who was born evil. I see someone who was numbed by his trauma.

Not every survivor turns into someone kind- some of us are so damaged, that we just become cold.

But cold doesn‘t equal evil.

I don‘t think Coryo was born evil. A monster.

That is what the world made him.

And again: I am not defending the crimes he committed later on.

Thank you for reading. Have a blessed day.)

Something absolutely diabolical by having (what sounds like) only one coqui calling out during the credits like it lost its mate

“As you command, Megatron.”

Old habits die hard.

i genuinely don’t think most of y’all realize how “i hate humanity, we’re inherently evil and irredeemable” is 1) some puritan bullshit and 2) actively damaging to literally any activism you partake in

call me problematic but the death eaters will always be the more compelling characters to me specifically BECAUSE they exist in a narrative with such rigid black/white morality; because they are considered evil as fact; because they are punished as individuals for the way a system made them; because they are offered no avenues for redemption!

every glimpse of humanity & personhood from one of the cartoonishly-evil disposable background villains (bella’s petnames for her sister, peter’s friendship with james, barty’s skill as a teacher, the carrows’ love for each other, regulus’s note) automatically carries INFINITELY more weight than any dramatic gryffindorish act of heroism BECAUSE it comes shining out from a vacuum. lock me up!!! you should be feeling empathy for them!! do you see how humanity becomes more textured when applied to characters that we, as readers, are meant to disregard as monsters. should i call mary shelley

Some fast doodles of the Born Evil AU, both being some angst (and one of them being a concept headshot)!

I imagine that when he was still young, nobody knew why Pure Vanilla Cookie always kept doing that eerie laugh, one that shows signs of sinister intentions... Even he, himself, didn't know why until much later...

Since he becomes Shadow Milk Cookie 2.0, I felt his name would be Wilted Vanilla Cookie!

BOOK OF BILL SPOILERS

One thing I like the most about Bill is that he’s an unreliable narrator. He’s a liar

His dimension is flat but he can see 3d. In the show he claims that everything was flat. Flat minds, flat dreams and that he “liberated” his world. Which we know now was him destroying it. This paints him as a cold killer but yet in the book it is stated he misses home and can’t return but that he’s happy, but that he’s a lair. (Stated by axolotl, a being older and more powerful than him)in the book, it also states that everyone loved him in his dimension but that may also be a lie. He may have been ostracized and looked down on for his mutation, except we know his mother loved him. Him wanting to show what he saw to his race led to him burning down his dimension. It was an accident I believe, that there was no malicious intent , just him wanting to show others what he saw. He wanted to show them the stars. But he went too far. think he caused a some sort of rift that sort of just decimated his dimension or his powers going haywire and reduced it to atoms. It’s stated he was left covered in blood.

I’m pretty sure he’s blocking memories. I think the trauma of destroying his dimension left him cold and allowed him and his morals become skewed.He only became worse as he traveled realms and into the nightmare realm and became obsessed with chaos. He and his awful being and it’s good that he’s locked away in therapy prison.

I like that’s he’s a crazy irredeemable person with such tragic backstory. I’m curious about his history and what led him to be the way that he is. He’s trillions years old so who knows what else he been through. I doubt he’s always been this all powerful dream demon. I think he’s tries to paint himself as this being who was always evil but I don’t think he was like that. (He literally blacks out when he thinks about it too much, it’s easier to lie and say it was on purpose and that he’s just evil)

Yes he’s Bill Cipher, a dream demon no one should trust but once he was just Billy who liked his sandwiches with no crust.

Or: the most important sadgirls and sadboys from Penacony who actually had no relation to Penacony

[kataraavatara]

“obviously people in the modern day can recognize what nesta did as verbal abuse even if they didn’t have the words for it in univers-” well if we’re using modern day terms Rhysand and Feyre are segregationists who allow child soldiers and are enacting both collective and multigenerational punishment on an entire city of people. so why don’t you ruminate on that for a little bit.
