#she!!! means the fucking world to me

[sleepy-crypt1d]

i am so glad that im no longer as scared about cringe culture as i used to be because yeah princess luna IS my favorite my little pony character and im not even one bit ashamed of it thanks for asking

like as a kid she was my favorite because she was edgy and cool and had an evil side she had to fight against and she had a dark color palette when literally NONE of the other characters did and i wanted to be her so so so bad and then my overly Christian grandparents told me that i shouldn't like her because she was Evil and Bad For Me or some shit so then i was like 'oh :(( i thought she was cool' and then kids at school and people online made fun of the edgy kids who liked her or like, that she was a stereotypical choice and the Cool Fans liked background characters so eventually i just stopped talking about how much i liked her because it was deemed "cringey" or "bad" by a lot of people i knew but NOW!!! NOW IM AN ADULT AND SHES COOL AS FUCK AND I DONT EVEN CARE!!!

i want merch of her i want to draw her i want to incorporate her into my au and my sona's story i wanna get posters and figures and look at fanart because shes fucking awesome and queen of the night and has a fleat of bat ponies that work for her and i love her

anyways moral of the story dont listen to your weird Christian grandparents about what mlp characters you should like and ily princess luna <3333

Revisiting the conversation you can have with Gale about Halsin’s proposition. I think it should be worse.

I think I hauve covid

EDYN TIDESTRIDER, CHALLENGER OF THE UNDERSEA, RIVAL OF THE DEEP. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR BROTHER WAS CHOSEN TO BE A WEAPON OF THE GODS? HOW WILL YOU UNDO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO HIM?

I love three houses discourse because I'm pretty sure everyone just picks their route based on which house leader they're the most gay for and then tries to defend their pick by pointing out the other sides's war crimes via twitter memes. Reader, all four of them do substantial quantities of war crimes. So many. We're just here because the woman with Issues and a big fuck-off axe said so, and then we gotta justify everything she did in the name of dismantling the class system. I mean, I'm here for that, but you could also try justifying Charm Man uses poison and perfidy to try to stop racism, A Sad Little Meow Meow gives no quarter instead of doing therapy, or the Thicc Pope tries to bring back her mom via human experimentation, depending on your tastes

I'm better than you. I'm better than you in everyway except you have hope. You always have; you went back into the mine to rescue Jazz, you snuck up to the surface to find the matrix of leadership. My point is that your instincts tell you to break protocol.. for a reason. This blind optimism that you have is why you make such bold, and courageous choices. That are also extremely stupid. You're inspiring. You can envision a better future, that no one else can see, and if we ever want to see B and D 16 again, that. that is the Orion Pax, that we need right now. Listen to me, we can do this.

this game will literally tell you anything except acknowledge the thing that started morrigan's reputation. she's had more lovers than there are trees in the forest but she's NOT A HERO OF THE FIFTH BLIGHT OR ANYTHING.

"I would rather end my own life than betray Angelica." – John Francis

“you think you made all the right choices and became the perfect woman who would be safe and loved and okay but NEWSFLASH your husband will reveal his misogyny once you’re used up and ugly and he’ll cheat on you to feel powerful and he’ll abandon you when you’re sick or pregnant and won’t you regret registering republican THEN” is not a sick own to conservative women.

that is what evil men do. they lie. they trap you. they drain the life out of you. and this is what women do, we try to make the very best choices with all the information we can get. and one day you may be forced to come to the realization that there is no perfect formula to living as a woman in a world that is dangerous for women. it is not just conservative women who might have their lives and convictions fall apart around them. do you think liberal men do not LIE? that liberal men do not also convince women that they’ve found the one good guy and the one safe marriage and then reveal their misogyny when you’re stuck? do you think your liberal politics have saved you from male violence — and if you do, why do you think you’re different than the conservative women who say the same about theirs?

Something I think is extremely interesting thematically when it comes to connecting what Downfall and the ideas it tackled to the overarching narrative of campaign three is that the things Downfall made a point to showcase of Aeor—Cassida, Hallis, the visual of an aeormaton proposing to her partner, the specific and intentional decision to shed light on a far from insignificant amount of the population being civilians or refugees—is that it plays in perfect parallel across from what is happening (and, really, has been happening) to the ruidusborn on Exandria in present.

Bear with me for a moment. Aeor is ultimately a city that was collectively punished for the decisions of its leadership. We could (and, judging by the amount of discourse around this particular topic already, probably will) argue about what the Gods’ motivation for all of this was—whether it be that they could not, in the end, bear to kill their siblings or that they were terrified at the prospect of mortality—for me it is a very healthy dose of both—but for this I am much more interested in the latter. They were scared. That, really, is the driving force behind both this arc and their role in c3 as a whole.

Why I point this out is: It is far more interesting to me, especially as we go back to Bells Hells this week, to dissect the Gods and their decisions not purely on sympathetic motivation alone but as beings in the highest seat of power in the highest social class in Exandria.

So, having established that the Gods (in relation to mortals) are more a higher social class than anything we could compare to our real life understanding of divinity and that Aeor was eviscerated largely because of their fear—what is the difference between those innocents in Aeor caught in the trappings of their autocratic government leadership and a divine war on the ground, and those of the ruidusborn being manipulated both by Ludinus and by the very thing that inspired such visceral fear in the Gods to start with. I would argue very little.

I think of Cassida, doing what she genuinely thought was right and good and would save people, her son, and the object of her worship—and how that did not matter enough to any of them to spare her because of the fear they held at the very concept of mortality. I think of Liliana and Imogen, one of which we know begged for the gods to help her or send her a sign for years on years, and how every single one of their largest struggles could have been avoided had the gods loved them, their supposed children, as much as they feared what they could be. I think of how the thing that did save Imogen, in the end, was a woman who herself existed in direct defiance of the gods will. I think of that young boy, sixteen years old, that Laudna exalted on Ruidus.

I think it’s completely fair to judge Aeor’s overall society as deeply corrupt—it was!—but its leadership and police force are not a reflection of every one of its citizens. Similarly, it is fair to judge the Ruby Vanguard as corrupt—it is!—but its multiple heads of leadership and even the god-eater further are not a reflection of every one of its members.

Notably, and what I think the Hells will latch onto, this did not matter to the Gods. It did not matter that Cassida was trying to help. She was still too much of a risk. Will it matter, what Imogen does? Will it matter, if that young boy is in the blast radius when they decide to take no further chances?

I’ve seen a lot of people say that the Hells will side with the gods and I don’t think I agree. Especially as Imogen has been scolded and villainized over and over for daring to try and save her mother—who herself has been seen by some as an irredeemable evil in spite of her drive being the exact same—her family—but when it’s the Gods it’s justified? When it’s the Gods, it’s sympathetic? Too sympathetic to criticize further than “they’re family”?

I obviously do not think the Gods should die or be eaten or what have you, and I certainly don’t agree with Ludinus (though I find him much more compelling than just a variation of hubris wizard), but when talking about the Gods in Aeor and in present it isn’t really at all about their motivation or their family. It can’t be. Too many people, including our active protagonists, lives have been effected for it to be as cut and dry as “they’re family”. These are your children. They are your family, too.
