#sorry hes a terrible man

MIDNIGHTS;  accepting.  @timetell​ said:  “ i don’t start shit, but i can tell you how it ends.  “  

          he grows so weary,  sometimes,  of all these little mutants.  humans with powers,  humans with gifts,  humans with strange abilities.  their dna altered at some point in time to evolve into something stronger;  perhaps a response to the atrocities around them.  war,  disaster,  the advancement of technology and weapons.  hadn’t he,  too,  had to adept to such things?  still  --  his lineage was far superior to these human mutants.  he had been crossed a hundred times over,  but he was what remained.  

          he eyes this speck of dirt with a foul expression,  the arrogance in his tone just another annoyance.  luca could rip out his throat before he could speak another word;  could watch the blood gurgle from his mouth,  could watch that self satisfied expression leave his face and turn to panic and fear.  he could take his wrist and crush bone,  make it powder in his fingers,  listen to him scream and scream and it would be better than hearing another human go on and on about their superiority. 

          “  the ending is set in stone with you.  “  luca smiles,  his teeth a warning.  “  humans die.  and they do so easily.  “

There's something so sad to me about the fact Lan Xichen goes from happily encouraging Lan Wangji to befriend Wei Wuxian to Considering Wei Wuxian to be Lan Wangjis 'only mistake'

Like... Imaging getting a miracle second chance not only at life but to have be loved by the man you've always admired only to find out that his family detests you because during the worst time in your life, physically and mentally you didn't take into account the idea that a man who'd always treated with cool acquaintance at best, active distaste at worst actually cared about you and that his constant reproach and effort get you do give up the one method you have to protect yourself while everyone was literally actually out for your head was honestly because he was badly wording his concern and not because he hated you and the methods you used to survive.

Sometimes I'm normal and then sometimes I think about Loghain draining the coffers for 2 years absolutely refusing to believe that Maric just died at sea because, of course not. It's Maric. He'd have some gloriously stupid death from a plan of his own making. Something righteous and ill planned. Loghain has dedicated his life to this man several times over. How could he just disappear? The man who came crashing into his life in a bloody mess just silently slips away? Nonsense. Haha. Anyway. Two years before he let them have a funeral. Is this one of the times Loghain breaks The Promise™️? Yes.

Opinions on Charlie woobification? Also, do you think the fandom woobifies Dennis (too much)?

A few people have sent me asks about my thoughts on Dennis being woobified in the fandom and I’ve failed to answer them (sorry). Not for lack of interest on the subject, it’s just hard to answer. I think, though, answering this Charlie question in the same ask might make it easier to explain my thoughts on this.

When we talk about the fandom we’re generally talking about the people here, a couple hundred people on Twitter, maybe some Instagram stans(?) and tend to ignore the million (1,000,000)+ people on the subReddit and the huge chunk of people on Facebook and casual Twitter who are constantly, continually pushing a narrative that these characters have no depth, and thus their characterisation is what we see on the surface and nothing more. I think the one time it’s probably important not to ignore those people as fans of the show is when it comes to woobification.

Because at a surface level, the people who are consuming this show as a comedy and making posts that exhibit their takes/opinions on these characters to the majority of people portray the characters very simply: Charlie is an idiot and the best member of the Gang, in every sense of the word, and Dennis is a mere representation of toxic masculinity to a psychopathic degree. And those opinions are the loud majority.

So any discussion in our minority section of the fandom that woobifies Charlie or Dennis operates within and on top of the general narrative of the public perception (“face value”) of the characters. Woobification of Charlie, then, almost always further infantilises the majority of his traits to contribute to the idea that he’s not a bad guy and doesn’t deserve the position he’s in in life, while woobification of Dennis mostly works to counteract the idea that he’s a cold-blooded psychopath.

In a way, I think you have to woobify Dennis to a degree in order to properly understand his character (and Glenn makes that clear). Do some people take it too far? When it gets into the realm of genuinely somehow believing he’s not a bad person, absolutely, but in over a decade of Sunnyblr posts, I think I’ve seen that conclusion once, maybe twice. I really don’t think any post that’s diving into how Dennis' actions reflect his insecurities and trauma is ever speaking ignorant of the rest of his character, and that normally seems clear to the majority of people because rarely, if ever, does a dive into Dennis woobification cause fans to understand the character worse than they understood him at face value.

Whereas, with Charlie, you constantly do see this. Posts and threads and fights between fans arguing up and down that Charlie is better than the rest of them: he’s the smartest, actually, he means to do good, he shouldn’t be lumped in with the rest of them as sexual predators... People in this fandom genuinely argue that you are a *better person* if you’re a Charlie stan, that Charlie ships are softer, more moral, than toxic Dennis ships. The result of Charlie woobification seems to often make people less media literate about the character (and the show as a whole if we’re being real) than they would be if they just watched at face value.

They’re all morally despicable characters.

TL;DR: Due to the face value perceptions of the characters, woobification is an almost necessary tool for better exploring and understanding Dennis under his surface, while it really only exacerbates an annoying surface-level understanding of Charlie

Wait did both Alice and Zane record Alan when he was at his lowest point? Didn't Alice make her exhibition to show the world what she sees? To show Alan the truth about himself? That it never was Scratch visiting and terrorizing her, but Alan himself? Did she depict his "self" and Zane depicted his "persona"? The two sides of him that he wishes he can eliminate bc they brought him into trouble (Scratch representing anger and the fallouts with paparazzi and stuff, Zane representing his self-destructive behavior with alcohol and drugs and the party nights)? The both sides that caused his marriage to start falling apart? Was that the reason Zane made that video of Alan when they were on that booze and drug-fueled bender while working on the Return manuscript? Is this party video the companion piece?? Alan's downward spiral, same as Alice's photos? Do they fucking work together aasdffjfjfkfk

What’s your problem, man.

Nobody has ever asked me that before….. my problem, what my problem is… everyone hates me. Everyone is turning against me. Even my own auhtara no longer loves me. I regret killing Paradise, for she is the only person who would be on my side. I shouldn’t have been scared and killed her immediately. It is an irreparable mistake. My problem.. is that I need revenge. I need closure. My fates are turning their backs on me and succumbing to love. They’re becoming weak, going out, partying. They’re like naive youngsters. I cannot let that happen. Jacks, I appreciate your ask. But if you think this will change me, it won’t. Not until I get my auhtara back. And until Paradise is with me again. Which, will never happen.
