#so many people hate this hypocritical creature

[bitchy-peachy]

When you get blocked by someone that feels morally superior than you for being "Pro Palestine" and you search their name and find a bunch of call out posts showing they're a transmisogynistic online harasser that is in their 40s with a habit of following kids between 13 and 15.

Even the kids have complained. Can't this rancid hypocrite bitch be friends with other adults?

The FE fandom is unfairly criticized for their treatment of main women leads because not enough people factor in how sexist the writing is. Edelgard would get less hate if she was held more accountable. Micaiah would get less hate if she didn't get written out of the final part and awful blood-pact device. Celica and Erika would get less hate if the writers didn't hand them the idiot ball. Female leads are often awful units compared to male counterparts. The male leads always upstage the female ones or are written overall better bc they were unconcerned with making them a sellable waifu. There's definitely sexist people in the fandom, and male characters everywhere get cut more slack, and I'm not denying an element of sexism in all of this, but holding the writers accountable something that needs to get brought up more.

Edelgard is held accountable and punished for her actions by literally dying in 3 out of the 4 routes. Like the Agarthans are not blamed for what Edelgard did. She takes complete responsibility and suffers the consequences for starting a war.

Erika giving the Sacred Stone to Formortis because she believes Lyon, an extremely skilled healer and magic user who has been studying the stones will get rid of him through using it is a smarter decision than Ephraim attempting to kill THE DEMON KING ALL BY HIMSELF. Like at least Erika's plan made sense and could have worked if Lyon was able to resist Formortis. People who call Erika stupid for her scene while not doing the same for Ephraim's are hypocritical in this regard.

While SOV is quite sexist in how so many of the women are damseled, Celica sacrificing herself for Mila makes complete sense and is not rooted in sexism because at that point in the game most people believe that they still need the gods to survive and a single human life is worth less than the life of a god. Celica trusted Jedah because to her that was her only choice. What is sexist is her having to be repeatedly saved by men while nothing similar happens to Alm.

I admit I'm being extremely nitpicky with this point, but Erika and Celica both act completely in character when they make their mistakes and therefore are not Idiot Balled. Idiot Balling is when a character acts uncharacteristically stupid and out of character to serve the plot.

Idk about the specifics with Micaiah in Radiant Dawn but yeah it sucks how Ike takes most of the spotlight from both her and Elincia :/

The only female lead that is a substantially worse unit than her male counterpart is Erika. She is an outlier that should not be counted. Celica, Micaiah and Elincia all have utility that Alm and Ike Lack while Edelgard is literally just as good of a frontliner as Dimitri. And Lyn is just as weak as Eliwood.

Character writing is subjective.

You are severely overestimating the importance of waifus and underestimating the importance of husbandos to the franchise. Straight and Bi women play Fire Emblem too.

Also characters who have depth tend to be more popular regardless of their gender. It is profitable to have waifus with layers.

I am not denying that sexism was and somewhat still is a thing in the writing and gameplay of this series; However, the fandom is just as guilty in how female characters are treated - perhaps more guilty in the newest two games where these issues rarely rear their ugly head in the story and the gameplay. The fandom should be held accountable too instead shifting most of the blame on the writers.

Anyway if you read all of this, have a heavenly creature i found recently <3

Can you write some more Captain boomerang, fluff head cannons I loved your last one, and really would love some more 🥺🥺🥺

Abso-friggin-loutly! Fluffy/domestic HCs P2 [P1 Here]

CWs: Jealousy, guilt tripping. None graphic mentions of unrination. Rating: General

On days off from work (I use the term work, lightly) he is such a lazy git. He’s lounging on your couch in nothing but his undies and socks, both of which are ridden with holes and thoroughly stained ‘but they’re still good tho, here, have a whiff of that’ drinking beer and watching mindless action films or guilty pleasure sit-coms. 

If you join him, he will happily spend the whole day there, unmoving until one of you has to eat or pee. 

I hope you like physical touch because he will not keep his hand off you the whole time either. Playing with your hair, stroking your skin, sneakily trying to tickle you in order to force you into a more provocative position. 

He also loves to be touched in return. Likes it when you trace your fingers over his tattoos, play with his hair. Scratch his scalp and he’ll start twitching his leg like a dog when you hit just the right spot. 

Use a pen to play dot-to-dot with his freckles and he’ll get the result tattooed permanently.

Absolutely hates doing chores, and will try just about any underhanded tactic to get out of them. 

Oh sorry, love, I forgot. I know you did ‘em yesterday, and the day before that, but I swear if you do them tonight we can do that thing you like. But you’re just soooo much better at it than I am, I always do it wrong.

No weaponised incompetence, I swear down if he fucks it up, it's because he genuinely is that dumb/has never been shown how to do it. 

Claims to be outdoorsy, but if you ever take him camping or hiking he will complain the whole time that his feet hurt (because he’s wearing inappropriate footwear) and there’s dirt on his (already filthy) coat. 

He would never admit it but he’s more reliant on his creature comforts than he lets on. 

Does, however, genuinely enjoy playing sports together, mainly footie or frisbee boomerangs. 

Can say some pretty nasty stuff during an argument. He will almost instantly regret it but is too stubborn to be the first one to apologise. Instead, he’ll do everything but say sorry until you say it first or you come to an unspoken agreement that you’ve both moved past it. 

I did the dishes, an’ I went down to that food place you like and bought back dinner. Come on babe, don’t be like that, you can’t stay mad at this face, I know ya’ can’t.

Is very much the petty jealous type, doesn’t mind you having friends/being close with people, but takes it as a personal insult when you compliment them.

Funniest person you know, I thought I was the funniest bloke you know, remember that time I made you laugh so hard your drink came out of yer nose?

I’ve got a shirt like that, you never say I look good in it. Yes, I did, I said… Oh, well I don’t remember that.

But when the shoe is on the other foot, he’s such a hypocrite, he loves it when you get jealous. Especially if he’s still stinging from his own envy, he will actively try to make you jealous. 

Loves kissing you, all the time. Got his arms wrapped around you while you’re trying to get stuff done, planting kisses up and down your neck, on any piece of skin he can reach. 

You’re not allowed to go to a different room without giving him a quick kiss before you go. Even if he isn’t in either of the rooms. 

Oi, I’ve got a bone to pick with you, you left the bedroom to get a drink and you didn’t kiss me on your way. You weren’t in the bedroom or the kitchen. Yeah, and?

He’ll take whatever kisses he can get but his favourite are the sloppy ones, tongue halfway down your throat, saliva leaking, noisy kisses. 

Brags about you constantly. Every criminal, law enforcement officer, cashier, random lady at the bus stop way more about you than they ever should. Stories are often accompanied by many candid photos of you, photos you would cringe to see if he ever revealed them to you. Man wonders why he’s so easy to find by the law, when everyone from here to Sydney knows what you look like, what you do for a living, your favourite places to eat etc. 

He also keeps polaroid pictures of you, they’re always either loose in his pockets (cause he never carries a wallet) or pinned to the wall of whatever prison cell he’s locked up in. Many of which he’s drawn on. Some doodles are pornographic but most hearts, stars, halos, and speech bubbles with illegible writing that’s supposed to say things like ‘I love you Digger’ or ‘Miss you every day’.

He doesn’t really know how to convey it but he really does cherish you.

Hi! I hope you're having a great day!

I have seen so many posts of who Jon will end up with and it's so funny that Sansa is always not on the list. Arya, Val, and Dany are all top picks! Like Arya! Imagine thinking Jon would marry Arya but not considering Sansa because she is not his "type". It's not even about the incest of it all the hypocrites! She's out of the race because of that goddmann willowy creature line. Jon Targaryen would marry anyone else except Sansa Stark, his eldest living female cousin just because she's not supposedly his type.

Imagine hating Sansa so much you do my boy dirty like that and ignore things like this:

in order to argue he doesn’t like people who need a defender. He acted to save the direwolf pups too so you might even say this is an essential character trait we’ve seen in him since the beginning.

Jon is a guy who instinctively protects the vulnerable. He isn’t repulsed by it. He’s playing the knight to Sam above, but the same attitude comes up when interacting with women where you get the sense, Jon is a chivalrous guy who takes action to protect and help those who need it.

Furthermore, if you read his interactions with Alys and that convo with Ygritte about her potentially being abused by a man, that tells us, this isn’t a guy who is insensible to the power dynamics (physical or legal) that specifically victimize women, so it’s wild to me the fandom keeps trotting that line out like we didn’t read everything else about Jon that disproves their hope that Jon is a sexist ass.

And if we’re talking about “type” (which that line isn’t about in the first place!), Jon wasn’t attracted to Ygritte’s violence. Actually, that disturbed him. No, he was attracted to Ygritte’s smile and her singing. He admired Val’s stoicism. That, not a woman killing a man, but her strength of character, is what made him say, women are the strong ones:

Oh look, saving a baby, there goes Jon hating losers that need saving again! I think the reasonable conclusion to make is that he will have compassion and respect for Sansa withstanding everything she’s had to live through since leaving Winterfell. I understand that everyone says he likes warrior women, but the things we’re told attract him, aren’t that. What we do know is that he wanted Winterfell, a lady wife, kids, and wants to give said lady wife flowers. Hold on a sec, hold on, singing, flowers, wanting to live in Winterfell and have children like the siblings he lost, that reminds me of someone…

Also, I made a post about the fandom’s weird use of that line years ago:

(link)

Even if Jon was having a moment of disliking a certain type of girl (which he wasn’t), all you have to do is think of Lyanna in her bed of blood screaming for her brother to come to the conclusion that the author doesn’t want you to mock or despise someone in need of rescuing. And if you read a few Jon chapters, we can also come to the conclusion, Jon doesn’t shrink from playing the hero. It’s a tendency with him. One might even imagine when face to face with a “princess” in need of one, who had a romanticized view of the black knights of the wall, it will be particularly fulfilling experience.

Sasuke's revolution is 100 percent effective and has foresight only demerits is you have to kill few super powered shinobis like 5 kage and naruto well warcriminals, maniac killers, ignorants, hypocrites like them deserved painful death who belived in their own village interest without giving damn innocent lives and crimes like massacre morelike genocide,child soldiers,invasion etc, anbu culture etc.

Thing is Sasuke's revolution had its merits, we know through many revolution and lessons of violent wars and loss and human greed today we achieve constitutional republic where also prioritizes lives and rights of minorities like uchiha clan civilains(not rebellious faction who planned the coup but innocent children like izumi uchiha and yashiro's 7 years old son who did not agree and know about the coup) or vulnerable and naive child like rin and ryogi and boruto who would indoctrinate to the system without knowing truth of shinobi past, even think of its honorable to die for the village, sad ending,conclusion and execution and future. That's why support sasuke's revolution, his first task to create deterrent and make 5 villages hate him and some might fight against him and defeat them only killing the strongest shinobi would be enough to slowly shinobi losing their desire to fight against him and but they will stick together for assistance and in case of shortage of power if sasuke attacked suddenly with that sentimental fear, then slowly sasuke would go for social,law related change then political then with progress go for the economical change and they go for the continental and international change thus totally destroy the shinobi system and past, only new way chakra usage with strict laws and regulation for every sides with equal footing so that no one used it for wrong purpose or be questioned immediately, sasuke needs only 60-100 years to destroy this system and create another one to make people used to the new system without no existence of shinoi army,ranks,missions or structure or kage dictatorship, for that long he needs to acquire immortality and reincarnation with powerful able bodied chakra power like demi god of shinobi only problem jigen and momo even he can destroy kara organization completely.

Now you people know why sasuke said i am all alone and can bear the darkness of five villages because in past sharingan named power was connected with uchiha clan which caused genocide because of obito's wrong doing because he was an uchiha and uchiha were falsely accused because of sharingan power even people with no sharingan, if sasuke became all alone meaning no connection with five shinobi villages or other villages in public(he might have recruited orchimaru and taka and small numbers of white clones though) punish corrupt kages like kurotsuchi then no one will harm konoha, becuase he is also enemy of konoha with no secrecy becasue of his killing 5 kage deterrent from the past and all alone with no ties with any of the shinobi villages(might create his own organization like one that akatsuki and kara) and also his plan has nothing similar like danzo he would not wipe out entire country,clan and village because of his objective even don't use children others for his biddings only magical creatures like bijjus who should have eliminated by hagoromo because their power caused destruction they better off dead completely if hagoromo did think good of the mankind, wher danzo would sacrifice total or other or stick with them like parasite for his dream and village, sasuke would only take agency by his own hand without killing or sacrificing innocents, only judge,punish and execute the wicked ones like danzo,five kage and kurotsuchi who would be main perpetrators of violence,conspiracy,discrimination,inequality,power imbalance,greed, personal ambition and dream like hashirama's,selfish desire,resources and benefit seeking in unfair ways,wars,invasion,paranoia,systematic discrimination, corrupts dictators among kage and daimyos, corrupt shinobi etc. which danzo would never do he would just destroy other people community based on person and aspect and assumption and for his greed, which sasuke would never, he would take agency for the revolution he wanted to execute like batman a global threat with no ties to any shinobi villages, more like in itachi's way without causing genocide or mass killing that's why he would work from the shadow

[thethingaboutdeath]

Only 1-3 of my kids did anything akin to a genocide run (Jacklyn along with Clover in some runs and Frisk that one time), but if the others did of them did here are their theme/motivations

Liliana - It is my duty as a faithful servant of God to cleanse the Earth of this demonic filth. I don't care how long it take or how many obstacles I must overcome. It is God's will, and it will be done.

Brooklyn - So they plan to go to war with humanity? Tsk tsk. If only they knew just how ruthless we can be. I'll spare them the pain of finding out the hard way, I'll spare humanity the burden of having to waste supplies when this hypothetical war comes, and I'll spare whoever is next to fall of this responsibility.

Amari - If I'm gonna get past the king and go home, I need power. And killing monsters give me that power... Well, it's time to play the waiting game. I got plenty of time and monsters to kill. No use trying to get attached to creatures like that.

Lyric - These beasts are a dangerous and hypocritical race. They wish for freedom, for war, and they will kill children to achieve it. They have no morals or principles, nothing like that. How disgusting. They aren't worthy of mercy. Why show compassion for beings that show none for me? They only showed me hate and malice, they wanted to kill me like it was nothing. They murdered those poor children as if they were nothing. They murdered Amari as if he was nothing. It's as if they didn't even see them as people, just another human for them to eliminate. If they got the chance, they wouldn't hesitate to do the same to all of humanity. And yet, they acted as if that was good, as if it would even change anything... Things like them are better off exterminated.

Elijah the enabler

I came across many posts of Elijah and Klaus’ potential suffering in afterlife.

Which is immensely interesting.

TVDU’ afterlife doesn’t make sense, and is left for interpretation.

Going to a deeper Analysis of Elijah- he was an enabler of Klaus. All Elijah ever did was endorse and provoke him.

Explains more of why Elijah hates himself so much. He knows he’s the reason of Klaus’ behaviors from the start. Ex. Wanting to kill Lucien, Klaus held a vote - showing democracy instead of Klaus’ mafia family he created. Elijah wanted to kill Lucien. Making Elijah more willing to Kill out of all his siblings,not for food but because he can. Elijah’s known for lying to himself about “always and forever “ so, Elijah saying it was for Vampiric survival. They were immortal and the world hadn’t become so globalized and interconnected yet, so the fear of witches and their father was probably just an excuse. Lucien was alone, a guy they could’ve compelled not to tell, wouldn’t have told. He wouldn’t even been suspected. As long as the Mikaelsons didn’t too close with Lucien.

Elijah also likes to fix, could Klaus be a mistake of his? And why do you think he likes to fix ? Klaus likes painting because of control,Anakin from star-wars also likes to fix because of control.

If both Elijah and Klaus did go to hell, what do you think they’d be in for ? Hayley found peace and she was a killer , so the bar is low. Mass murder isn’t the reason. Elijah’s selfishness was providing for his family. But he also hated himself, so a self hating selfish guy is where I’m at right now.

I’m not trying to blame Elijah for Klaus being a bad person or the rest of the Mikaelsons’ ,I just came ask what Elijah would be in for.

This a long ask but I'm going to try and answer it as best as I can!

I personally think it's hypocritical that Elijah is often called an enabler by the fandom, but none of the other Mikaelsons are. Yes, Klaus was a monster for a thousand years and Elijah doesn't do much to stop it. We see him attempt to temper Klaus' bloodlust, mostly to avoid being found by Mikael. However, we see Kol and Rebekah actually participate in these acts more than we see Elijah, yet they are rarely called enablers. Sure, Elijah could have done more, and should have, but so should everyone.

I don't really remember any times when Elijah did something to 'provoke' Klaus. Besides falling in love or caring for people outside of Klaus, but that's just shifting the blame to the victim of Klaus' abuse rather than holding Klaus accountable.

I do think Elijah blames himself for not guiding his siblings better and for helping contain Klaus' werewolf side. But again, blaming Elijah just shifts the accountability from Klaus, the one actually doing the bad deeds. Klaus' sob story about losing his werewolf side would have been more compelling if they had shown him actually care about it at any point. To me, it always just looked like he wanted the power of a hybrid so he could be the strongest creature, even over his own siblings. But he never tried to be a part of a pack or even transform after he unlocked it. Klaus used it as an excuse to be a monster and blame Elijah for his actions.

As for Lucien, Elijah knew they had to keep their curse a secret. As we saw with the Hunters, news traveled pretty quickly even back then. Elijah has always had to make the hard decisions to protect his family. We see this as a theme throughout the show and flashbacks. I wouldn't really say the others were less likely to kill since they all murdered an entire family moments before that. Kol even rejoiced in it and Rebekah wanted to keep Lucien as a present. We also hear from Lucien that "monsters" are murdering villagers and Elijah gets upset with his siblings for being so careless, so I don't believe their father was an excuse. Mikael less than a year before this had murdered their entire time and, as they believed at the time, murdered their mother. They also didn't know how to compel yet. Elijah was always the practical sibling, kill one more human to save all of his siblings, and he wouldn't hesitate.

But later, even after becoming friends with Lucien, Klaus was ready to kill Lucien even under a perceived threat. In fact, Elijah stopped him twice (probably a mistake #ripCami). I wouldn't say Elijah was more willing to kill, but rather more practical about his killing. Klaus had no issue murdering anyone (#ripEsther #ripJenna #ripTim #ripCarol #ripIsobel #ripDozensofHybrids #ripPetrovaFamily #ripRandomWomenWhoHadACough). We don't really see Elijah kill unless his family is threatened, but yes, if he perceives a threat against his family, he doesn't hesitate. I'm not saying this is a good thing, but to me, it's at least more noble than killing for power or out of annoyance/boredom.

I'm not sure what you mean about Elijah lying about "always and forever." I assume it's the normal rhetoric about him not holding it for all of his siblings. But the vow was just between Rebekah, him, and Klaus. As a sibling myself, siblings have ones who they are closer to. Elijah, Rebekah, and Klaus always had a closer relationship. After their mother's death, Finn and Kol ran off, leaving them to grieve on their own. And in that grief, they made their vow. No, it wasn't perfect, but Elijah honored it until he died by his brother's side a thousand years later.

Elijah is often criticized for wanting to "fix" Klaus but is also called an enabler. He honestly can't do both. Either he enabled the bad behavior or he was trying to "fix" Klaus from becoming a monster. Elijah watched his siblings lose themselves to bloodlust and hated that he couldn't guide them better (even though that was not his job). Essentially, to the fandom, Elijah can do nothing right. Which is funny because, to the fandom, Klaus can do no wrong. Elijah becomes the scapegoat so people can continue to love a deeply flawed, narcissistic man. Elijah wanted his brother to have redemption. He feared for his brother's soul to the point he damned his soul over and over again to give his brother a chance at redemption. It was never about controlling Klaus, otherwise, he would have pulled rank on him more. It was about reminding Klaus who he was at his core/when he was human.

I don't think TVDU afterlife is how we view it in most modern interpretations. It's not good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell. We see there is some kind of "purgatory" and then "peace," nothing else after Bonnie destroyed Hell and the otherside was destroyed. No, I don't think there was anything Elijah or Klaus (or any of the Mikaelsons) could have done to go to our idea of heaven after everything bad they've done. But my interpretation of TVDU peace, is that it is more of an inner peace. I think Elijah would have had a harder time finding that peace because he did hold himself responsible for his actions whereas Klaus was able to justify a lot of his wrongdoings.

I know in Legacies, it's mentioned that Klaus can't find peace until Hope does (which is super manipulative and terrible of the writers). But it does sort of fit my theory. Klaus didn't regret any death and destruction he caused, but I think he did regret dying and leaving his daughter on her own (because let's face it, it was selfish). So Klaus could find peace once Hope found happiness and he no longer felt guilty for leaving her. Elijah would have a lot more to work through. He has felt guilt for every life, every betrayal, every wrong he has done. But I do think eventually he would be able to get there. He would be able to find inner peace and come to terms with what he's done.

I hope I fully answered your question! Thanks for asking <3

Pre-Infusion Pity Party ramble under the cut but I’m just so overwhelmed rn & just want to get it all out

But god do I hate being like this. Why do I have to get stabbed in the chest every fucking month with a big ass needle, & pumped full of chemicals every other month just so I can fucking live? Why did my life have to change so much when I was just a kid? There’s gonna come a time where I’ve been knowingly living with this disease for longer than I had without it, & I don’t know how I’ll feel when that day comes. Rare disease awareness day just happened & I completely forgot & didn’t even care. It’s coming up on the 7 year anniversary of my outbreak, & it’s always a rough time for me

& to make matters worse, for over a fucking year it feels like older family members are dropping like flies. I don’t even know how many funerals I’ve been to in the past year. & we have yet another one on Sunday. & you see the toll it takes on everyone around you & you’re just like… are they next? Are they gonna be taken away?

I don’t have any irl friends because my supposed best friends stabbed me in the back & burned our friendship to the ground over a long torturous year, & while I am genuinely so much happier without them in my life, I feel so isolated. When I try to talk & engage with people, they act like you’re a fucking freak for trying to have a human conversation. Everyone is afraid of interaction now, & it sucks because humans are supposed to be social creatures. & it hurts because I’ve missed out on so much social interaction with my peers when I was & I know that my disease played a pretty big hand in that because I was the sick kid. Other mothers said shit to my mom’s face about how healthy their kids were, & even family members implied shit, essentially blaming her for my illness/weak immune system

& then you get diagnosed & those people fucking grovel & act so sorry & sympathetic but you know their true hypocritical character. It’s honestly revealed the ugliest of humanity. True sympathy is rare I feel like, replaced with pity

& I hate to say it, but most of the time, I don’t even like what I’m writing. There’s a line in Rainbow Rowell’s book Fangirl where Cath was reflecting on herself & her writers block/fics she’s written where she contemplates how many times she’s written this line, or some version of it? & I get caught up writing things others want to see, but the writing itself feels like a chore. & it’s not the fact that I think what I’m writing is bad, but I feel nothing.

I’m writing for fandoms & characters I’m not particularly wild about, & feel obligated to fulfill the request. Tbh there were only a handful of tickletober fics that I was actually excited about writing, & I fucking hate that. It’s why I was so over the moon when all the Hatchetfield & Epic peeps started showing up. Because I felt inspired again, & I can’t remember the last time I felt a spark like that

I haven’t been truly happy in a very long time, & I’m not sure when they’ll get better. But there’s still glimmers of light through the storm… even if they’re small or fleeting

TLDR: I’m fucking sick of getting infusions for the rest of my life, people all around me are dying, my best friends betrayed me, & I’ve been in one of the biggest creative slumps

Do you think conservatives hate Griner because she's A) Black, B) a lesbian, with a wife who has been vocal and been in the spotlight, proving that Black lesbians are actual people who exist! In America! and arent just fantasy creatures created for woke points by the left and ruining their precious white straight worldview C) politically conscious with the audacity to *checks notes* peacefully protest D) all of the above

They hate her for all those reasons, yes, and also because she reveals the fundamental hypocrisy and cruelty of their position just by existing. I can 1000% guarantee you that if Trump traded Bout for Whelan (which, like, he himself confirmed he had turned down as an option), the Republicans would be all over themselves to worship him for Bravely Rescuing an Innocent American, they would not give a crap about what Bout had done or what he was accused of, and otherwise portray Trump as a great statesman and diplomat. Except oops, Paul Whelan's own brother said in literally as many words that Trump cares no more about Whelan now (zero) than he did then (zero). So as usual, this straight up alternate-reality delusion about how Almighty God King Trump could have gotten Whelan out too!!! is just that. Nonsense. It's also very much the case that the Republicans think that Whelan, a white straight Trump-supporting male, is infinitely more of a person than Griner, so.

Basically, what infuriates the GOP the most is that Biden viewed Griner as a person, all by herself, and therefore worthy of making the swap when it was available. She is, yes, a Black lesbian who has kneeled for the national anthem in the past, and in Republican calculus, that makes her not a person at all, and definitely not worth the President of the United States saving all on her own, if they couldn't get Whelan too (and it is once more important to note that they don’t actually give a shit about him either, they just want to use him as a club to hypocritically judge Biden for Failing). In their minds, however, Whelan is the only actual American TM, and thus by trading Bout for Griner, Biden gave up a dangerous arms dealer for "nobody." Griner has literally no personhood in their eyes (and that of certain people on tumblr) because she is a member of multiple marginalised groups that the GOP hates, she has kneeled for the national anthem and thus registered even the most minor protest against white supremacy and American racism, and is "just a basketball player" (as if, you know, a failed former reality TV star isn't said almighty god-king of their party). Soo.

Anyway, it is their usual toxic blend of racism, misogyny, and homophobia, all at once, and represents just who they actually mean when they say America First!!! Well, okay, Brittney Griner is an American freed from an unjust and politically motivated imprisonment that very likely could have cost her life. Are the Republicans happy about An American being rescued, even if she is Black, lesbian, etc? No, because they don't want her or anyone else like her in the country, and out of Whelan and Griner, Whelan is the only one that they are even able to remotely conceive as a person and/or worth making any kind of sacrifice for.

Not you comparing lsk to the abrahamic religions…..that‘s not it. And also weirdly hypocritical like you wrote heartwarmingly about the palestinian man but then proceed to mock his belief and god as a „magical male creature in the sky“????

Btw: we queer religious people do exist. And i don‘t ask you to be religious or anything but at least respect our religion. Putting it on the lsk/larry level is more than an insult.

honey, you misunderstand me. larry is far more reasonable and believable than the Abrahamic religions. it's an insult to LARRY to compare the two. the Abrahamic religions are full of evil nonsense. that is an objective fact! racism, slavery, genocide, pedophilia, rape, misogyny, and murder are all supported in the founding texts of all Abrahamic religions. i do not respect the Abrahamic religions because i do not respect texts that are in favor of racism, slavery, genocide, pedophilia, rape, misogyny, and murder!

larry is just the belief that two male friends are dating in secret. sure when you look at the details it's not likely at all but it's at least within the realm of physically possible!

i can and DO respect, love, and support people in those religions (hate the religion not the religious person!) and of course am able to raise awareness for good causes no matter what types of religious people are involved in those causes. i am also fiercely in favor of people having the freedom to practice any religion they want to. i will always be for freedom of belief and religion!

i can also wish good luck to and feel sad for queer people trapped in Abrahamic religious beliefs. i don't envy your position given how hateful and homophobic many if not most iterations of those religions are!

but this is an objective and fact-based space. the similarities between conspiracy shippers and religious people are numerous and valid and it's actually one of my favorite things to talk about! so bye.

Okay okay okay... OKAY... I NEED TO SHARE THIS IDEA I HAD OR ELSE I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL AND WILL BECOME A GHOST WHO HAUNTS ANYONE WHO SHIPS RAMONA

I've been listening to the song 'Talking to the moon' by Bruno Mars quite a lot lately. I especially listened to it while drawing Ramona drawings because I ran into the song in a Ramona playlist on spotify and saw it fitting for it. But then, like the person with a giant imagination and person that talks to herself 24/7, I ended up coming up with a whole scenario for a possible music video, that I hope to do at some point when my brain finally tells me 'alright, you can animate now you dumbass'. LET'S START.

We begin to a scene of Raph in his bedroom on his bed. We see he is drawing someone, it's Mona Lisa. He takes a deep breath and sighs as he closes his sketchbook. He recalls how several of his friends made fun of the idea that Raph actually got with a salamander alien from another galaxy.

Slash: "Hehe. You sure Raph you didn't accidentally get high while in space?" Catty: "BAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA THAT'S THE STUPIDEST THING EVER HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA" Lotus: "Let us meet her in person and if we don't meet her we know your taking drugs." Emina: "Awww. Is she your imaginary girlfriend? If so that is adorable! I hope you'll one day find the girl you dream of her to be."

These were some of the many comments Raph has gotten. He got up from his bed and went out of his room. He decided to leave the sewers for a while.

It was late at night and the sky was almost pitch black filled and covered with bright sparkly stars. We see Raph jump from roof to roof. He was still thinking about Mona. He stopped as he looked at the moon. It was a full moon. Gorgeous and beautfiul. It shined across the city, creating a sort of blue-ish dark purple like moonlight (how the f do you describe these things-??). Raph sat down on the edge of the roof. His green eyes tilted up towards the moon. Sitting by himself, all alone. It was just him and the moon.

His hand slowly reached out to it as he thought he saw glimpses of Mona in the moon. He looked down and pulled his arm back. He closed his eyes as he felt the moonlight hit his green like skin that also had diamond like shapes all around his body (Raph is a diamondback-terrapin in my AU along with Leo and Jennika). Raph thought of Mona and all the things they have went thru. He opened his eyes once more and looked back up at the moon. Wondering of Mona Lisa was still thinking about him and hasn't forgotten about him.

We cut to a new scene. Also if you wanna make it more fun with the song make it cut to a female cover of sorts. This time it shows the planet Salamandria, Mona Lisa's home planet. We find out that Mona became the talk of the town after the Salamandrians reclaimed their planet back from Dregg. Everyone found out about the turtles and their gang and how they were friends with Sal Commander/G'throkka and Mona Lisa/Y'gtthba and also how Mona fell in love with Raph and became his lover.

The female salamanders would gossip about her and question if she is okay in the head. They also thought it was embarrassing of Mona that she would choose a creature of lower rank and from a disgraceful planet. The males kept telling her that all he is trying to do is seduce her and to be with a real man. And that all he will try to do to her is try and impregnate her and make her bare his children that he will then not care about (babygirls acting like they won't also do the same to my queen and they act as if they don't want my girl to carry and deal with billion trillion gazzilion kids). Sal would defend his friends and especially Raph and that Mona made the right choice falling in love with him.

Mona hated how Raph was seen by her people. She was able to see how judgemental they were towards people all because they were a lower rank compared to them. Also she found it hypocritical that people said she made the wrong choice picking a low rank creature when many of the people that said it are lower ranked salamanders and she doesn't even know them. The things they said kept being repeated on and on in her head. She didn't like it in the slightest.

She walked thru Salamandrian and saw a few hills. She decided to climb a bit. She actually enjoyed doing that. Even as a kid she loved it. Mona kept on climbing until she saw the full moon shining in the dark sky. The stars shining bright as always. She sat down and crossed her legs together. She did a similar thing like Raph did in his segment. Reaching her arm towards the moon, having small glimpses of Raph, but then she looked down. She hugged herself and sighed. Mona wondered if Raph was still thinking about her and hasn't fallen out of love with her. As she closed her eyes she thought of Raph again and hoped he was truly the love of her life. She was really hoping she wasn't just being some stupid fool.

Now the male and female cover mash together and we see both Mona and Raph side by side. Both finally speaking and calling out if either one of them can hear each other calling them. Only to once more look down. The moon was still there shining brightly.

Finally we show both Raph and Mona side by side. Doing what they were doing in the earlier scenes. Both staring at the moon, reaching their arms towards it as they see glimpses of each other. But then they look down and close their eyes. Slowly, both got up and began to walk away with sad like expressions. They missed each other a whole ton and they were wondering if they will ever see each other or will they forever be far away from each other? Neither don't know...

Finally, the music ends and it's over....

Damn I wrote this really fast which surprises me lmao- Anyway- To my brain: PLEASE LET ME GET MOTIVATION TO ANIMATE THIS PLEASE I BEG OF YOU I NEED MONEY TO FEED MY 10 MILLION KIDS AND HUSBAND AND WIFE WHO CURRENTLY LIVE IN THE SEWERS AND HAVE TO EAT RATS IN ORDER TO SURVIVE PLEASE HELP-

[liliallowed]

What if we just. Like. Cried for a few hours. I feel like we deserve it. Some nice rest and stuff. Maybe shove holy water down the demon's throat idk

yeah, imagine being almost murdered by your partner smh/j

since your attempts at harming the foul creature only seem to result in accidentally tending to their wounds so you forget about the holy water.

what you do instead sit down in the corner of the room, silently processing what had happened.

this was your fault. they were right. if you hadn't made the stupid choice to open the damned container none of this would have happened. this was just the consequences of you being so stupid.

why didn't you believe him? why did you HAVE TO BE SO STUPID!?

he warned you SO MANY TIMES... he told you they were evil. he GAVE YOU A WAY OUT. WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE IT!?

WHY DID YOU RUIN EVERYTHING!? he had every right to hate you.

"I love you. you know that right?" another sob threatened to break from your throat but you held it in.

he DIDN'T hate you. that only made it WORSE. he cared. and he still... you didn't understand.

or maybe you did. he must've thought he was doing the right thing... or maybe you were both just lying to yourselves.

you glare at the demon standing Infront of you with tears dripping down your cheeks.

they frown looking at you.

"pathetic. stop. don't look at me like that this is all your fault... " you grit your teeth.

you hated them you HATED them. you hayed what you did. what they did. this was all a fall out of your first mistake.

this WAS your fault.

"blaming yourself isn't going to make things better you know... no matter how many times you make dumb mistakes... throwing a pity part won't change it."

"shut up. you don't GET to comfort me. you... YOU MADE ME TURN BACK TIME YOU... HOW DO I GET THIS THING OFF...! " you scratch at the floating screen trying to swat it away like a fly.

the demon rolls their eyes.

"you're such a lovestruck fool. he always planned to kill you regardless of his personal feelings. you only made things harder for both of you. I told you this would happen."

just like how HE told YOU and it all came true.

would you make the same mistakes and ignore them? you genuinely thought there'd be a good solution to this...

"sighhhhhh you look like a mopy wet cat. jesus. pull yourself toghter. aren't you supposed to be figuring out a way to get stronger? so you don't die to him?"

"I'm not KILLING PEOPLE!" you shout only for a towel to hit you in the face.

"exp isn't the only way to get stronger dumbass. it's just more effective and faster. we're going to work on your stamina and agility. forget about strength. your WHIMPY soft hearted ass won't be using it anyway."

"wh... what?"

"you heard me. get stronger. I'm not planning on letting a dumbass like you die to riding hood. go pull yourself together and we'll see if you can back up your ideals with actions instead of hypocritical words. fight me!"

they grinned at you.

"after all you did vaguely mention you hate feeling like a damsel. so PROVE IT coward. instead of crying in a corner like a pathetic defeated slob GET. BACK. UP. YOU'RE NOT DONE WITH THIS. are you? show me your determination. show me your idiotic HOPE."

you look at them with confusion.

"why would you... ACK! "

you barely manage to dodge an incoming attack of red strings.

"less talking more dodging. you're slow. YOU'RE SO SLOW. START RUNNING." they grinned.

I apologize in advance, but I completely disagree with this whole consensus of there being rewrites and the amount of vitriol and unrealistic criticism that has been thrown at the writers, in my opinion. I feel, we are humans and tend to be creatures of habit, so I am already hesitant and a bit eye-rolling at the absolute conviction that these "rewrites" are as severe as is portrayed. I can go back to some old, saved GH threads in the last year, few years, decades; where people claim dissatisfaction with the current regime and promote the fact that these new head writers are going to change GH for the better, fitting the storylines closer to the "mold" of what fans expect GH to be. And then, inevitably; once the new writers are in place, suddenly everything is a rewrite and characters aren't themselves, so now we want the old writers back because at least they knew our characters. Now think about how many cycles since General Hospital has aired where we have gone through this routine. And I am including myself in that 'we'.

My buffer was really just to say that everyone has characters they are preferential to and not preferential to. And so, because of that, we follow their stories more closely than others; which is why I feel I can still have a decent debate on opinions on a character I don't like and still enjoy the chaos of General Hospital, 'the show'. So even though some of these character choices don't makes sense to some, it might make sense to other since they prefer that character. For example, so far, I have been enjoying the Jason returns storyline and even though some things have irked my nerve, everything has pretty much made sense, so far. Yes, it is very very annoying when characters like Sam, Sonny (not surprising), and Liz turn against Jason. Especially if you were previously fans of those couples and somehow think Jason is still owed their loyalty. In my opinion, I feel it's an interesting contradiction and hypocritical perspective that I, as a fan, am trying to be more self-aware of. 

So, in that regard, I definitely interpreted the Josslyn scene way differently than the consensus. In my opinion, Josslyn wasn't saying she didn't know Jason, Dex, or Sonny killed. I felt she was saying she didn't know how far or willing Jason or Dex would go to kill someone specifically based on Sonny's personal vendetta. Like a mob soldier. And she realized that seeing that part of Dex was not appealing to her and apparently turned her off enough to want to break up with him. And she accepts and loves Jason still, because he's family. And loving each other, right or wrong, is their family motto. Now, for Sonny and Sam, I will hold off because I feel like that part of the storyline, and others, are going to be more nuance than some think, and this is kind of the first wave. But if it lasts month of them hating Jason, then I'll be ranting. I'll see how it plays out.  

[strangestcase]

I will make a final statement on the dramaTM and then shut up about it, you know, not make it worse, because I know myself.

I guess it would be hypocritical of me to not apologize.

I will step up and admit, I've been petty, I've been annoying as hell, I've been stubborn, and I have overdone myself more than once. I have not been gracious at many times and I completely understand people are upset about it. It was never my intention to hurt anybody, and I say this completely honestly. But holy shit, looking back, do I fucking jump to conclusions.

Also, for context, it hasn't helped that I'm not exactly in a good place mentally lately due to personal issues.

As a... I wouldn't say content creator, but as a writer and artist, I also struggle with criticism at times and I would be lying if I said that having critics, no matter how civil, is not a walk in the park. That we can all agree on. I imagine it's not fun, as a pretty anxious person myself, to have a few people call you out on some bullshit -regardless of if they're right or not- because, trust me, I have been there, and I should have been more mature, being aware of that. However, I will make the point that the "harassment campaign" you are talking about is just three or four mostly cloutless people complaining about immature behavior on part of a popular artist; on your end, we have the big names of the fandom overreacting at the plight, no matter how ridiculous, of a blogger that has a fraction of a fraction of your fame.

It would be dumb to pretend I have not stepped on people's toes or pushed their buttons the same way it would be dumb to pretend the other side hasn't done the same in differnet ways. So let me reiterate: I am genuinely sorry if I've made any of the people involved feel bad or insulted, though I would be very happy if they made the move to likewise apologize for their behavior, because it's not like I'm super happy about the way they've treated me. Once again, if you stay in your lane I'll also stay in mine and vice versa. Like. Sure. It wasn't good of me to vague other fans, I'm self aware enough to see that now, and I wish I had been able to see it earlier, but it isn't good of them to screenshot my blog and spread rumors about me, you know?

Let me be clear here: I don't want anybody to harrass anybody, go after anybody, or start any more shit. God knows I've already had enough and I wouldn't want to drag more people into this. Any sort of disagreement or beef there is in the fandom should stay between, well, the people affected, like that's OUR problem to sort out? Not yours? So please and for the love of all that's holy don't stoke the flames from this point on because right now we're all just angry and sad and scared and. Um. That doesn't feel great.

Cool?

Cool.

Anyway. I still stand by my opinions, and anybody who knows me knows I'll die on whatever hill, but I have no issue with admitting that an angry Doc is a very petulant and immature creature, and now I'm seeing the consequences. So. All I can say right now is that I sympathize with the fandom at large, understand why they're angry at me, and just... I suppose sit down and be more reasonable even in the face of people who aren't exactly being it. Turn the other cheek and all that.

All this aside, I'm glad we are... kinda cooling down, and having enough emotional maturity to not involve more folks. I'd hate if this got any bigger, and I'm sure that's something we all believe.

TL;DR: I've gone a bit too far and admit I've also overreacted in regards of the current fandom drama, and feel sorry for it. But also please it wouldn't kill you to do the same? I promise I will do my own thing from now on, just be a bit more chill next time someone complains about you. If I can admit I've been too belligerent so can anybody honestly.

Sorry for emptying my brain on here with so many text posts about the OCs, but I like to « think out loud » as it were. If this stuff annoys you, feel free to scroll past 😊

Anyway… Eden vs. Anya is gonna be entertaining. 😈

Eden dislikes Anya, to put it mildly. He’s at least a little jealous, but it’s secondary to some of his other feelings, such as disgust and annoyance.

He hates how Anya keeps strolling into and out of Nikolai’s life, as if it’s some sort of game they’re playing. He knows it’s not a game to Nikolai, and he sees how happy Nikolai is when Anya is with him and how crushed he is when she inevitably leaves. Eden hates that Anya treats the situation so casually. He’s aware that Nikolai and Anya aren’t in a relationship per se, and that they both see other people, but it bothers him that Anya will sleep with practically anyone and happily talk about her conquests like they mean nothing. At least Nikolai is discreet, even if his heart isn’t really in any of his other encounters/relationships either.

Of course Anya thinks Eden is a silly little boy, considering that he’s just as bad as she is when it comes to his sexual exploits. Eden says it’s different for him, because he’s not shattering someone he claims to love each time he finds himself a new bed to share.

The irony is, under different circumstances, Eden and Anya would be exactly the type that each of them would go for. Anya enjoys pretty, promiscuous young men, and Eden is always on the lookout for hot older women (and men) who’ll spoil him and shower him with gifts in exchange for entertaining them.

But, needless to say, they both consider each other way off limits. Eden is grossed out by the idea of Anya as a sexual creature (in a similar way that thinking about his parents having sex is cringey, despite the fact he’s fully aware they do). Just the thought of Anya touching him in any way makes him tense up. Anya, meanwhile, can't get past thinking of Eden as a child. She maintains that her standards are high enough that she'd never consider doing anything with a child, never mind the fact that she's slept with other men Eden's age with no qualms about it. Eden sees this as entirely hypocritical of her.

Eden can't stand the fact that Anya treats him as if he's a child. More specifically, he's annoyed that she treats him as if he's Nikolai's child, and by extension, her child. She's known him since he actually was a thirteen year old kid, but he thinks she needs to get with the program and realize that he's an adult now. He wants her to take him seriously and understand that he has his own opinions and ideas.

Eden would never openly admit to any jealousy, but he can acknowledge it to himself. Whenever Anya is around, they’re competing for Nikolai’s attention, albeit in different contexts. Eden is not happy with the fact that Nikolai so willingly throws himself into harm’s way, apparently without heeding any of Eden’s warnings, and he’s mad that Anya is the one subject on which Nikolai doesn’t seem to take his feelings and opinions seriously. He genuinely wants Nikolai to be happy, and he’s fine with him having a partner. He just doesn’t think Anya is the right one.

Anya, on the other hand, isn’t overly worried about Eden competing with her. She thinks it’s cute, how close he and Nikolai are, and she knows there’s nothing inappropriate going on. Eden isn’t any kind of threat, as far as she’s concerned.

Guidelines when interacting with me

No nsfw dms or sexual messages in general, that crap makes me extremely uncomfortable. Please do not use my model in tier lists with smash or pass, or judging via's boobs size. It's really really weird and degenerate behavior. Please don't sexualize me in any way, I prefer if you don't. Thank you very much. This will be a automatic block from me, if I catch you doing this. I'm deliberately setting a boundary, please respect that.

Don't flirt in dms, I'm not interested and I'm not looking to date anyone currently. I just want to vibe and chill for the time being. I'm taking time to heal and advocating my needs more often. I have a history of bad relationships, I would like to not add to that. ( I'm joking here. )

Please, don't talk about politics ever. Politics rots the mind and soul. I am apolitical for a reason and I will scold you if you mention politics in my dms. ( I already had someone do that in my DMs this year, yeah I'm kind of sick of it. )

I had enough people wine about their politics views. My entire high school experience was plagued with political talk instead of teaching. It felt like I was getting indoctrinated instead of properly taught well.

I got to see the real ugly side of people because of their biases and prejudices, specifically towards men and asians. This experience has shaped me into the person I am today. And why I'm so jaded and cynical when it comes to politics because these were supposed to be my teachers. The people I was supposed to " learn " from.

Please don't insert your options like they are fact. No every man is a monster or a creature to fear. They are human just like us women. I don't subscribe to this black and white thinking. What does make assumptions or painting someone as the bad guy solve? Nothing, all it does is isolate people and dehumanizes them. Heck, in some cases it causes a reinforces their beliefs and keep them in their echo chamber.

If you want people to listen to you, you can't have a negative or condescending attitude. Give them basic respect and see eye to eye with them. People don't want to be feel like they're preached at or lectured, no matter what topic it is. You got to find a middle ground and make compromises. Sure, it might not be what you want but it's a start. It's a lot better than having screaming matches to see you can scream their political views the loudest.

On the internet people go to the extremes, it's never the middle ground. Life is full of nuances and not every situation has a one size fit all solution. Life is simply just more complicated because there's many factors.

Not everyone is your enemy nor a bad person, please show some empathy to your opponents. Who knows they might have more similarities with you than you think. I'm not saying this will fix everything but it's better that name calling.

After all what's more human than the artist of suffering? As many as we don't like to admit it, tragedies can happen to anyone at anytime. The grim reality of things is Grief, Poverty, Abuse, Trauma, etc: came to us all. People suffering through injustices all the time, why must we kick them while they're still down? I think what sickens me the most with all of this is the lack of humanity that people have for one another. I swear politics brings out the ugly in people and makes them worse.

I hate both parties equally because both are hypocrites and inconsistent. It is a broken system that doesn't work with its citizens. The very people the system is trying to help.

You don't have to agree with my opinion. I respect that you have a different opinion to me and I want nuance. I don't want to creative hive mind or Echo chambers. I encourage you think for yourself and form your own opinions.

Please don't dm me about political issues, it's only going to make me ignore you. I will ban you if you mention politics, My streams are not the place for politics.

Please don't ask about my personal life. I am a private person because of my safety and mental health. I know people would treat me differently if I give said information to the internet. It has happened in the past, it will happen again. I want people to take me seriously and trust my word.

The internet does what it does best and I rather not give out information that people can use as ammunition. So have fun guess what I am, you'll get it eventually~

Please don't label me as a different sexuality than my own. It's disrespectful and rude, you don't know me and you can't make those decisions for me.

Failure in respecting my boundaries will get you blocked, banned and muted. You get one warning and that's it. I am being very clear and upfront with how I want to be treated. Anyone healthy person will have no problem following these requests. The toxic ones well I'm not so sure~
