pseudoneiric asked:
❛ You will find me a respectful, quiet, passive observer of the truth. ❜ (from octavian!)
Lost Meme -- @pseudoneiric
Nico snorted, not even bothering to hide the reaction. He’s pretty sure that Octavian was not respectful, quiet, or passive a day in his life, although the living part didn’t matter so much at that point. Nico hadn’t yet tried to see if anyone else could see the spirit of the former praetor, although Roman ghosts were known for being vocal, so this would unfortunately be something of an experiment.
“They’re just voting on the final plans for the temple district,” Nico said. “Once they get some of the big structures approved and plotted, they can figure out where to add any monuments.” Octavian should know all of this though, and Nico suspected he probably did, but it felt worth saying out loud still, if only to make sure the augur knew he hadn’t forgotten.
#pseudoneiric#passive observer#☠ ▌ five thousand attack points ( ask meme reply. )#☠ ▌ of apollo ( toa. )#pan please#putting this in octavian's ghost verse because i gotta#if only because nico can snark back#with living octavian he's usually on his best behavior

is it just me but it feels like five got dumbed down and nerfed the most in terms of his powers? Five didn’t see Ben steal the marigold, he didn’t figure out the CIA was part of the keepers but Luther did? What? No hate to Luther at all, I love that oaf but it doesn’t feel like FIVE!
Not to mention he was the ONLY one whose powers weren’t working or he couldn’t use to his advantage? Like what? Five? FIVE??? He should’ve figured out the teleporting thing. He should’ve figured out the subway. One opportunity I think the writers didn’t use is as the seasons progress five gains a deeper understanding of time travel and he’s able to figure it out more and more, so it comes full circle from s1 when he got stuck in the apocalypse because he didn’t understand time travel, but they don’t do that!! Like is this the same five who figured out what the sigil was in the s3 finale?
One reason I loved five was his intelligence but it doesn’t feel like it in s4
#also like. his snark was gone#he was calmer which you could say was because of its Been 6 years#but like. they don’t show us what happened in those 6 years#the umbrella academy#number five#five hargreeves#this is a half assed post bc my thoughts are kinda jumbled up sorry lol#he was just more. passive this season? less proactive?#and less observant#like it was Lila’s idea to stop Ben from going on the mission#and that’s fine. but it didn’t really feel like five#if they let him figure out time travel the plot would be over if#ig*

Some of you guys desperately need to learn how to draw noses that don't look like this
#slash not mad slash genuine. this isn't meant to be read as passive aggressive and mocking I'm being very genuine#.#not directed at a specific person or group of people in particular or anything. just a phenomenon I've been. observing

genius lyrics was on fire last night. they were adding annotations deleting annotations before our very eyes. half the words were either not present or spelled wrong. they had [SCRIBING DON'T EDIT - SOAHGZ] at the top of the page with an annotation that said "the narrator invites us—active users and genius.com lovers—to not edit the lyrics and have faith in our wonderful scribers" and not a soul listened.
#it speaks!#kendrick lamar#it was a meeting of scholars that i was just passively observing bc i wanted to read what he was saying. AND SO DID EVERYBODY ELSE!

Hinata, Hinata, Hinata. How's my favourite little slave owner doing? She okay? Well, not for long now, because I'm about to rip into her.
Here's the situation. She's bland. Frumpy. Too timid, too shy, too "kind", too awkward, too privileged, too busy idolizing Naruto and putting him before her kids, to be a Shinobi. To have the guts to do something about the slavery going on in her own family. To even acknowledge it.
That's annoying. Unfortunately, she, much like Sakura, was born in a world much too harsh for her. She doesn't fit in. She doesn't have what it takes to live up to the expectations placed on her as the heir (which is why Hiashi had to pass it down to Hanabi, a much more capable kunoichi, and no matter how much you vilify him for it, he was right to do so. He has a duty to his clan, he needs to be responsible. There's no space for coddling). She's preoccupied with stalking her crush from afar.
She's unimportant. She's just...there. Neji suffered the fate of his father saving her, a true loss of a much more important, likable, skilled character.
And she, instead of at least realizing, acknowledging how fucked it is that there are literal slaves in her family, whose lives are treated as lesser than hers, she just fawns over Naruto again.
In the fight with Pain, her confession was selfish, a suicide mission which endangered the lives of everyone, and specifically the fate of her bodyguard that told her that he'd get in trouble if something happened to her. She blatantly disregarded every warning she was given to not approach the battle.
All to confess her feelings to a stranger (because that's who Naruto is to her. He's a stranger, whom she knows only about his never-give-up mentality. And she, well. She is someone Naruto barely spoke to ever), get one panelled, and traumatize Naruto who would have to suffer with the guilt of knowing someone died for him out there. You could say he went ballistic over the fact that Hinata was injured and he loved her so, but the fact that he never once sought after her and ignored her love confession is proof enough that he only cared about her well-being as a mere comrade. Just knowing she's alive was good enough for him. Because Naruto is Naruto, and like it or not, he generally cares about people.
Her whole character falls apart the moment I erase her infatuation with Naruto; all the evidence you need that she's horribly written and shallow (Something also purposefully done by Kishimoto).
Hinata is simply privileged and irrelevant, in all the sense of the words. Seeing her stans point fingers and make fun of Sakura without realizing that they're both equally bad is hilarious.
Hinata wasn't made for the world of Shinobi, and it's blatantly clear.
#anti hinata#anti hinata hyuga#anti naruhina#anti boruto#anti the last#Both my posts about Sakura and Hinata aren't something im passionate about btw#like. both their characters are indifferent to me#i don't much care or get passionate about my passive dislike for them#saying this because maybe this comes off as very harsh and angry? maybe?#it's not how i meant it. these are just neutral observations of who they are#anti nh

Unpopular opinion but I actually deeply fucking love games where the protagonist is silent and relatively passive when it comes to interacting with other characters, even if that means watching them go down paths that end in their destruction. Sure its likely done as a 'blank slate'/self-insert sorta thing but quiet, stoic, nonverbal people also exist and the perceived lack of a personality =/= no characterization whatsoever
#this is a passive-aggressive jab at d2 fans tbh#im not saying its not frustrating sometimes but the yw is an actual character. you just happen to control them#anyways ghost hollowknight and wolf sekiro i love you#its also just a fuckin relief to play as someone detatched from in-game drama bc influencing npcs feels...gross#i dont know how to describe it other than im playing games to be an observer of the world not a participant#/social burnout applies to in game characters as well but even weirder bc to me they arent people#theyre just mechanisms of storytelling pushing a theme/lesson

it's the fact that not even Deku or Ochako got their resolutions in this chapter that's getting to me. Out of every single character, the only ones who got their resolutions one chap before the end are the grandma who didn't want to help little Tenko and an NPC Tenko wannabe who had exactly two panels of the previous screentime
#you need to be either insane or genuinely HATE your readers to do that#no one got to save anyone#not even shouto had really saved touya#but that irresposible grandma is the only character to have done a heroic act#while ochako and deku are passively standing by and observing#literally what are we even doing#bnha 429#bnha spoilers#bnha critical

Funny how medication consumption has gone up over the years but people seem to be even more unhinged than ever before. Isn’t that stuff supposed to help level people out?
#just another one of my passive observations#I have limited education on this matter but like#I can't ignore the coincidence

So like. Technoblade is like an avatar of the slaughter basically, right?
#cranboo would be like. perpetually harassed by the distortion#cphil strikes me as either watcher or another slaughter pr mayybe hunt?#I never knew him as well as the other two tho even at peak damp phase#but he's always struck me as relatively passive?#he tended to follow techno's lead on stuff#and quietly observe for the most part from what I remember watching of him#I'm not gonna fandom tag this cus idk the etiquette of tagging posts referencing multiple fandoms like this

I'm REALLY hit or miss when it comes to comfort and advice#don't wanna make this all about me me me but alas. god gives his biggest battles (hyperempathy) to his strongest warriors (me)

Bad Batch
Tech: There are people who are the chaos, who plan the chaos, who get nervous over the chaos, who manage the chaos, and then there's the problem child working against the chaos. Crosshair: I feel like that was an insult... but I'll own it. Echo: I'm disappointed that I understand you. Hunter: I'm assuming I am the chaos? Wrecker: *crashing sounds, yells* Hunter: WHAT NOW, WRECKER? Hunter: *runs off* Echo: Should we tell him? Tech: No. He'll learn soon enough that when he's not going feral, it really is the rest of us he has to manage.
#the bad batch#tbb#sw tbb#sw tbb incorrect quotes#bad batch incorrect quotes#tbb hunter#tbb tech#tbb crosshair#tbb echo#tbb wrecker#star wars#star wars incorrect quotes#tbb funny#we stan Tech's passive aggressive observations#Hunter is just trying to keep everyone alive I swear#Crosshair you've got to admit Tech has a point#Echo is done with them#I love their dynamic#True sibling energy

i take back every good thing i said about discord; large communities should stay on reddit or something more decentralized or bring back LJ or
#no but i am strongly getting the vibe that this book series ostensibly about POC has attracted a fandom full of tone-policing yt people#(not TLT. i think i have been spoiled by TLT)#especially after several other tediously western-centric convos that make me side-eye a loooooot of this activity#made an offhand observation about a fic being incomplete & got passive-aggressively admonished by a mod to not make “disparaging comments"#christ on a bike. anyway#if i were inclined to be charitable#i'd grant that moderating a 1k+ server means you probably err on the side of overzealousness#but the assumption of bad faith has left an AWFUL taste in my mouth
