unpopular opinion i hate soulmate tropes they are almost always forced and make relationships shallow

[varpusvaras]

I just really started to think about the Royal throuples Sibling Experiences, and it's just

Breha, an only child, grew up in a free world with a matriarchal society where she was placed as the girl/woman of the place

Bail, has three sisters, also grew up in a free world with a matriarchal society

Fox, has 200k brothers with million more well on the way, grew up in an isolated world where him and everybody else were brought up to be essentially Gym Bros with Extra Baggage ™️

I don't know what this all means. But it means something.

"He hurts you because he loves you" classic excuse for abuse, not an interesting angle to go at a story with, boring, annoying, makes me hate anyone who says this shit. "He loves you but he still hurt you" beautiful, amazing, empowering. Love is not a pure, good, flawless emotion, actions matter more than intent, and caring for someone doesn't mean you can't or won't hurt them, and in my opinion, it makes hurting them worse.

not to be rude but like AI art literally steals from other artists and it's awful for the planet.. so maybe you should mind AI art? lol

Hey so I'm not really gonna answer this beyond 1) I don't really use Tumblr for debates/arguments about inflammatory topics and 2) I'm purposely ignorant to the entire outrage surrounding AI art because there are too many things demanding "action" and "engagement" from the general public on any given day at this point that I literally have zero left in the tank.

I'm not defending AI art but I'm literally just saying it's not one of the things that "enrage" me as of late. I'm more worried about things going on in my personal life and the current political climate of the US rn tbh and I come here to Tumblr to be horny about fictional characters because that's a better coping mechanism than drinking myself into a stupor or taking bong rip after bong rip to the face.

That being said I subscribe to artists on patreon that create their own art and will always 100% support artists who draw for a living.

Lore about the non-canon reality? Hell yeah-

Space Riders AU - @onyxonline

In Queen's Rage, Eve adopts a few kiddos. No one really knows how she got them or why but they know she's very protective of them.

Info on the kiddos:

Nikolai (16 y/o)

The first eldest, known to be a Doberman. He takes the role of leader of the child group and personally trains to become to serve for the Prototype. He's third to his mother's throne, Visha being the next heir.

Nikolai has seen the world and visited other planets. He enjoys seeing how the people of Eden still thrive despite all that happened. He pities Bolt for being late to confess to his mother, but knows he can't do much as Eve moved on.

Visha (16 y/o)

The second eldest, known to be a Raven Harpy. She's next in line for the throne and tends to copy her mother's mannerisms to be like her when she rules.

Visha very much hates the council, Space Riders, and Bolt for not trying to free her mother. She blames them for the downfall of Eve's natural benevolent stature and the rise of her might. She favors a few cultists and views them as family but doesn't get too close to them out of fear of being betrayed by them.

Lyra (13 y/o)

The first middle, known to be a Siren. She's one of the children that holds what was left of Eve's benevolence. She sings and dances, throws parties in the name of the Prototype. Although not in line to be queen, she enjoys the freedom of being a princess with no real duties to attend to.

Lyra has mixed feelings about the Space Riders. She knows a certain sunny captain misses their friend and sends her empathy but knows that if he tried harder, Lyra's mother wouldn't become what she is now. She knows that love is more difficult since she's part of the cult, yet it doesn't stop her from being a hopeless romantic.

Calia (11 y/o)

The second middle, known to be a Deer. She's the second child to hold Eve's benevolence. She loves crafting and sewing, making improvements for the cultists and assisting the Prototype when she can. She loves her family and the people close to them.

Calia doesn't interact with the Space Riders, staying away for her own comfort. She also doesn't like Bolt and distances herself from him. She cares a lot for her mother and hates seeing how no one truly stood up to her in the end.

Rodion (7 y/o)

The first youngest, known to be a Tiger. He's rambunctious and loud, having the biggest heart and sweetest blue eyes. He is always playing and amazed by what his older siblings do and tries to help them out but always seems to make a mess in the end.

Rodion isn't allowed in the presence of the Space Riders but he's rebellious and interacts with them anyways. He's always interested in their missions and stories, sometimes drawing to get better visuals. He finds the mystery Space Rider very cool and wants to be like him but his mother has mixed feelings about it.

Mia (6 y/o)

The second youngest, known to be a Angel. The baby of the group, Eve's special daughter. She is known to be mute and takes actions from others seriously, seeing whether she sees someone as a friend or not. She clings to her mother a lot and is very spoiled.

Mia doesn't have a particular opinion about the Space Riders and tends to follow a particular sunny captain wherever he goes, running into his crew a few times. She also likes the mystery Space Rider and plays with his tail at times (if he allows it). She's very observant and can be found anywhere because she follows people around so much.

If you guys are wondering if Eve gets a lover (not Bolt) in this reality, she does. But it's up to you on who it is or if she has two lovers.

That can’t be real

[frogspawned]

pet peeve is when a story tells us something is aberrant, but it seems to matter more about who does the behavior than the behavior itself. rorschach in snyder's watchmen isn't going too far; we watch nite owl and silk spectre ii snap necks and arms with gleeful, loving abandon, in slow motion no less, while they lecture the audience about rorschach's violence. heroes frequently torture the plot contrivance out of a villain and then moralize to the camera when the villains do the same. indominus rex's killing spree doesn't shock or appall me; all the jurassic world dinosaurs act like mindless killing machines, and the camera lingers, rapturous, on their cruelty. it's not an outlier. there's nothing interesting about it beyond as a set piece.

in a better script, the indominus rex would have had pathos; a chimera made for entertainment, for profit, stitched together with no regard for itself and placed in a lonely box. a freak among freaks. of course it would be mad. but the film wasn't interested in it as an animal, or a character, only as a moving piece of scenery for people to scream at or breathe tensely while it can clearly smell and reach them but doesn't, because it isn't a character and doesn't have motivations.

it's just sort of boring, i suppose. it tries like all other empty drab things do to cover it with bombast and roaring and soaring brassy scores but it's just sort of dull. a sprawl of nothing.

conversely peele's nope is a transcendent monster movie, imo, because it thinks about the the whys and hows, how jean jacket perceives the world, how the world perceives her, and lets that shape the narrative as much as jupe or emerald or gordy. they consulted biologists and behaviorists, digging into the meat of it. the creature as a camera as an animal as a device. nope has layers. it takes its own insane premise seriously, and has something to say, and is a goddamn good movie. i forgot where i was going with this.

[readyforsomeslapstick]

alright, taking bets on who is holding the flashlight at the end of Ep8

I've got my money on two candidates:

either the one person who was in the Biddle house that we haven't heard from, and who was sold as a villain from the start.

or the one person who willingly walked into the Biddle house but whose plans got massively derailed by Harold's sudden appearance.

it's either Allison, the ex-girlfriend, or Nathan Bratt himself.

If I'm wrong, then Disney needs new writers.

[teenagefeeling]

it's ancient at this point but i rly hate that one post that's like "womanhood isn't about suffering it's about my gf twirling in a skirt" like i agree it's not about suffering but i think it's a lot more complex than "women like fashion" and it kinda drives me crazy that that post gained so traction with such a stupid take like, even before all the stupid tiktok girl shit. people (especially men) have always been very comfortable just ignoring anything serious women have to say about our own oppression and telling us we're overreacting or making shit up and that our real purpose is to shut up and look pretty and wear dresses and make babies. putting it into progressive language and making sure ur including trans women doesn't make it not misogyny

[sophiasrant]

I wish there was an option on tumblr to say “I never want to see this specific post again” or “I don’t wanna see anything in this specific tag from this specific person, anything else they post or if anyone else uses that tag it’s fine”

[multifandom-damnation]

I feel like I should put this out here with everyone calling Taliesin selfish and saying that the other people at the table should be mad at him, but I am currently going through that with one of my newbie players right now. I'm a newbie DM, and none of my players watches any DnD-related shows and this is their first-ever game, and we are three games in. There was a very real discussion last week about wanting to kill off a player character and wanting to know what to do about it if he actively does things that go against what the party wants or does things that put them in danger. He wants his character to be 'unpredictable' and 'chaotic' but has been doing things that routinely get himself into trouble or put the party in jeopardy, like drinking the blood of a poison frog after killing it and getting poisoned, or trying to sneak up behind a band of bandits robbing town after being explicitly told to hide and rolling a nat1 and nearly getting the group caught.

As a new DM and a people pleaser at heart, I've really struggled to come up with fair but appropriate consequences for these actions, and the rest of the party (his fiance especially!) are super pissed off with him for being reckless to the point of asking me what they should do about it and how they can get rid of him and make him roll a new PC.

I felt really bad for him because its obvious that he wasn't doing any of this to be malicious but he was playing a pirate and he wanted to demonstrate him being unhinged and crazy and unstable, so it was a really hard discussion to have and I could tell that he was a little disappointed no matter how much I told him he was going a good job and the character is really fun even if he does have his moments, but everybody else was seemingly against him. If he was doing it on purpose, it would have been different, but he was very apologetic and listened to what was being said but didn't know what else to do because he likes his character but doesn't know how to portray what he wants to portray without putting the others in danger and sacrificing a core aspect of his character. I didn't have the answer either so it was really difficult. And I still don't think we've reached a solution.

I don't know where I was going with this, but I guess I just wanted to say that everybody is super mad at Taliesin (I'm not, the man has never done anything wrong in my eyes) but it's almost impossible to know what's going on in somebodies head or how they are interpreting certain things or the story they are trying to tell. So no matter what you're feeling about the choices that were made tonight and the outcome that occurred, can we all just be nice and not make such horrible comments? I've been seeing some really awful stuff and I know the gang has to develop some thick skin working in the career that they do, but I just know if it were me or my players experiencing such hate and backlash over a decision they made, like eating an obviously cursed cupcake or tearing a significant doll in half, I would be devastated.

"how to make your character more likable" "where do you rate likability when you think about characters" "top 20 likable characters" "likability is so important for books" "your characters absolutely must be likable or your book is a failure" "how to make unlikable characters in a likable way" i hate it here i hate it so much. i am going to rip out the throat of likability culture with my own teeth.
