#not his fault you a hater

[poeticamethyst]

Okay yall I don’t vent but after seeing one of my friends post about someone talking smack about Miguel, I had to share this- like maybe it wasn’t the same person they were talking about but what are the odds of that 💀 anyways my point is projecting your emotions about the characters onto the actor is a big no no.. it’s only making them the same as the other toxic Stan’s they mention.. I can say so much but I’ll just leave this here .. idk what their problem is all they do is complain everyday on social media lol

if you're still boiling a character as complex as alistair down to anything along the lines of: himbo, idiot, soft baby without an idea of his own, haha funny cheese man i'm straight up burning your house down with lasers and sending you directly to hell.

if you genuinely believe that man is stupid, all you're doing is admitting that you yourself cannot see beyond the incredibly transparent veil he wants to put over your eyes.

what he is is insecure, and he wants you to think he's stupid so that he doesn't have to live up to expectations he fears he won't meet. shortly after meeting him you can call him out on using humor to deflect and make himself smaller and he ADMITS IT.

he repeatedly shows you just how intelligent he is and how aware of the ways of the world he is. his history knowledge, his understanding of the chantry and its control of templars and mages that goes far beyond nearly anyone else we as the player speak with, his emotional intelligence when it comes to understanding others' intentions and needs... and this is just a thoughtless little post with quick examples i conjured up in five minutes! i'm not even doing a deep dive here! how do so many people miss all of this?

this is not advanced reading of subtext, it's incredibly simple and i'm completely unsure how people don't understand this about him.

he's such a great character for so many reasons - his flaws being some of those reasons - but a lack of intelligence is simply not one of those flaws no matter how you spin it.

Okay. So. I've been seeing people say that Oscar is underperforming. Y'ALL WHAT?

If we're talking about just this race, we're not going to talk about who's at fault for the touch that hit Oscar's front wing. However, he went from 19th to 13th in, like, 14 laps. That is good

Additionally, this is his second season in F1. I think that people are forgetting that, because he's doing so well. People are comparing him with Lando (obviously), and Carlos, and Lewis, who all have so many more years of experience than he does

To add on to my point, Oscar scored 97 points in his rookie season (we're looking at # of points instead of standings, because I feel like that's more fair). The only driver on the current grid to score more in their rookie season was Lewis Hamilton with 92 points. Max scored 49. Also in his rookie season, he won a sprint. Against Max.

Of course, Oscar will probably place lower than Lando. It makes sense. This is Lando's 6th season, it's Oscar's 2nd, and Lando will get priority. It's just how it works

Outside of F1, Oscar is insane. He won the Formula Renault Eurocup, Formula 3 championship, and the Formula 2 championship in successive rookie years. He's the first driver in history to ever do that. Like, dude is insane

Basically, in conclusion, Oscar is not underperforming. If anything, it feels like he's overperforming. He's doing very well

Why are people blaming the fact that Stan got kicked out on Ford and not on Filbrick

[qkmlh]

My hot take is that we didn’t even need hater Ben and there was no real emotional impact with him and the siblings cause he was pretty much a flat character with only some blimps of likability and even then

[wearethekingdom]

Maybe if I had said this a few weeks ago I would've said I'm biased but I'm genuinely getting so sick of seeing the hate on Lando.

I don't like seeing hate on any of the drivers but I want to bring Lando up because people can't seem to shut up about him lately and it's never for a good reason. "He's an overrated driver" "Lando just bottles he's a bad driver" "there he goes again winning dotd" "watch him be a crybaby over this" "Lando fans are the worst fans"

Like does this not get a bit tiring? Especially when you publicly hate a driver with no reason to, no one thinks you're cool for being an asshole to a real life person. There's drivers on the grid that I don't like, there's drivers on the grid who piss me off to no end while they're on track but I think I have enough self awareness and respect on myself and the drivers to not go into a comment section saying "Lando is overrated --->"

Oh you guys have no idea how much angst this single comment spawned in my head... If I was a fic blog it would be SO over

Ok silly Malevolent thinking time -- something that's been floating around my head as someone who's studied a lot of 20th century music history and theory is that there's nooo way Arthur would have become a professional composer in the 1920s. If Faroe's Song is comparable to the rest of Arthur's compositions, his tonal language was just too darn simple for the trends of music at the time. On one hand, swing bands, ragtime, and blues were all the rage in the 20's/30's (George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, etc.). That's what sold at the time, and it influenced a lot of classical music at the time too -- you could even hear jazz and ragtime inspiration in European music written at the time (e.g. Debussy's Gollywog's Cakewalk from his Children's Corner Suite!). Arthur's music is definitely Not That, though.

On the other hand, you had the rise of the modernist and expressionist movements post WWI, which brought about some crazy composers who did wacky things with harmony and tonality just because they could (think Charles Ives, Amy Beach, Arnold Schoenberg, Maurice Ravel, etc.) and Arthur's music is also definitely Not That either.

Arthur's style reminds me more of contemporary classical music (think Arvo Part/Hans Zimmer esque) that we saw cropping up in the 1970s and later. It's very reminiscent of late 20th century/early 21st century modern film composition still very much in existence nowadays -- they're meant to be simple as to not take attention away from the main piece of media you're watching. Which, from a production perspective, makes a lot of sense for Malevolent, because the music is often used as scoring for whatever's happening in the show! So maybe this is all intentional and this whole post is for nothing! But I just thought it was something worth sharing because it has been on my MIND anytime Arthur or another character brings up his compositions

Ashrah, Syzoth and Raiden being concerned about the horrible influence Johnny and Kung Lao will be on Sareena when they really should be worried about the horrible influence Sareena, Johnny and Kung Lao will be on Tomas.

Kenshi remains unhelpful bc it's funny when it's not his problem. Kuai Liang blames Johnny and Kung Lao.

Endeavor from BNHA is a prime example of how fandom trying to shield characters from (rightful) hate will only generate more hate toward the said characters.

Because I binge-watched the show before stepping foot in the fandom and even though I began this show hating Endeavor, he was actually starting to grow on me since his plot-line was one of the most interesting parts of the show and at certain points I even thought his “awkward dad” moments were kinda endearing? Then I looked around and saw an army of people who are so damn eager to swiftly forgive Endeavor for everything wrong he has ever done and shield him from any type of criticism, which includes shifting all the blame to his own wife & children and suddenly what little affection I had for this character is gone and now I’m back to hating him again.

Like you do realize that this is a grown middle aged man who has been emotionally and physically abusing his wife (who’s really more of a stay-at-home surrogate) and children for 25 years straight and has only turned a new leaf in-universe for only half a year max? It doesn’t matter how much you like his character, LET PEOPLE GO OFF ON HIM IF THEY WANT TO!!! You trying so hard to victimize him or to victim-blame his family for all his abuse will just make people hate him even more.
