Whenever I see someone that hates Percy because of “how he treated Nico badly” I just sigh and scroll
#i love nico#but that love does not include some—most—Nico stans#I feel like what happened with Nico was very straight foreword#but also kind of complex#but straight forward enough to understand that no one was at fault for anything#pjo#percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians#nico di angelo#nico stans#hate the characters you want to hate#that’s why I’m not arguing about it#you can’t make everyone happy and that’s fine I guess#someone’s always going to complain about it#I just think it’s interesting that you can hate the main character for something he didn’t even do wrong and we can see that bc it’s his pov#heroes of olympus#hoo#pjo opinions

Whenever people talk about lack of media literacy they always bring up people who think a character doing bad things=the author endorsing said bad things which are very annoying but I feel like we're ignoring the opposite, equally annoying side of the discourse who think if you criticize the inclusion/depiction of dark/sensitive topics in any way it’s bc you’re a dumb baby who can’t separate fiction from reality. and it's like no I know I’m not supposed to clap and cheer at violence against women I’m criticizing how much of it there is. Idiot
#.txt#also sometimes a work DOES reflect the author's bigoted views lol#why are we acting like that's unherad of#anyway I thought about when I argued with d&d apologists over the way they adapted loras now I’m mad again#‘it’s not like the religious zealots were portrayed as good people what’s the issue’#the issue is that storyline wasn’t in the book they went out of their way to make the one gay character be tortured for his sexuality#'why are you upset that bad things are happening to the characters' book loras got deepfried that's not what i have a problem with

as a native chinese, i feel like some of yall are taking the gods in lego monkie kid a bit too seriously. i understand why it feels iffy to ship / make silly content of deities that people worship irl (eg. nezha, sun wukong) but it’s a phenomenon on chinese social media too. c-netizens ship the fictionalized versions of these gods, which the gods of lego monkie kid are. they aren’t the actual gods people worship; they’re slightly tweaked versions of the book characters, just like any other chinese adaptation or retelling of jttw (and such stories like fsyy) also, no, nezha isn’t a child, in lmk or jttw or sometimes irl. just because he’s often depicted in child form doesn’t make him an immortal child. eros / cupid is often depicted as a winged baby, and he has a wife and kids. it’s basically the same thing here. nothing in lmk suggests that nezha is a child (his voice, his appearance, his personality etc. all imply he is an adult), and while he’s described as youthful in jttw, he’s already 1700+ years old by then and gods can shapeshift. people only think he’s an immortal baby because that’s a popular depiction of him, since one of his prominent myths is set during his childhood. but as long as you’re talking about the god nezha (fictionalized or the religious figure) and not the human child nezha, then that’s an adult [edit: the last sentence couldve been worded better. i would summarize it as “immortal youth nezha is a valid depiction and is popularized by mythology, but adult god nezha exists too and they are NOT mutually exclusive”]
#i’m not even here for shipping discourse ie. “you can’t ship nezha w anyone cuz he’s a child!”#i dont ship him with anyone that’s never been my focus#i just dislike misinformation#if you understand that cupid and eros are adult gods despite often being depicted as babies then why don’t you understand this#and in case i need to clarify i hate pr*sh*pping i dont support it#the fact is that any lmk nezha ship simply isn’t a pr*sh*p because he’s a full grown man#never once in the show does he act or sound like a child so why is this such a widespread belief??#i’d get it if the show was about him as a child going on his killing spree#but lmk is clearly set millennia after that#also abt the “dont ship deities” thing i understand seeing non-cn fans treat chinese gods like fairytale characters is frustrating#but to me since lmk characters aren’t very accurate to their real life religious counterparts they are not the same ppl#like i see swk fanart and think “swk the lmk character” and not “swk the daoist god” yknow#but that’s only my opinion i wont say i’m totally right i won’t argue if you’re daoist or buddhist and find it offensive#lego monkie kid#lmk#jttw#journey to the west#lmk nezha#lmk swk#lmk sun wukong#age discourse#immortal child depictions of nezha do exist that doesn’t mean the god is always a child#and in FICTION. yknow SHOWS and STORIES. not worship. if the story says he’s an adult then that’s what he is#so like. statue of baby nezha = baby#statue of adult nezha = adult. it does not mean every single depiction of nezha is a child#don’t generalize things and do not infantalize him

Dick genuinely doesn’t have a favorite sibling, he’s like the parent that says “I love all my children equally” and you believe it, he actually loves them all equally. He’s been trying to convince them that for the last few years, they don’t believe him, so he does what he has to, he says it’s Steph and let’s her deal with it.
#someone tries to say ‘she isn’t even really ur sister’ and Steph chews them out#‘oh so u think just cuz we’re not blood related we can’t be siblings’#‘oh so you’re calling me unimportant’ ‘oh so yourself saying all I am is a nuisance that hangs around you even though you don’t want me to’#‘oh are you saying I’m a leech that’s sucking off of this family’s happiness and love’#no one ever tries that again after that#so now whenever anyone brings it up all she has to say is ‘why wouldn’t I be his favorite? I’m funny#I’m pretty and I’m the best one here’ and no one can argue with that#so they just don’t#and Steph know she ain’t actually the fave she just lives for the drama#and dck is never bothered about it again#dc comics#comics#robin#batfam#dick grayson#bruce wayne#jason todd#damian wayne#tim drake#duke thomas#cassandra cain#stephanie brown

Actually the thought of Krennic and Dedra fucking hating each other is so funny to me. Dedra thinks he’s self-absorbed, arrogant to the point of damaging the Empire’s longevity with his vanity, and a complete idiot, while he thinks she’s awfully high and mighty for a supervisor who should’ve captured, and instead lost, the same guy at least twice
#Krennic knows about Narkina 5 I’m assuming#like. she sees his cape and his smirk and she’s just *done*#meanwhile he can’t figure out why someone so far ‘beneath’ him is trying to argue with him#and acting like she’s right? acting like she has a point? amusing to him. almost endearing#director krennic#dedra meero

The idea that some people still think Nesta’s main traits are supposed to be bitchy, mean, and a hater…idk what to tell you but the whole point of her healing journey is to not be those things because all it did was hurt everyone around her and herself.
#nesta archeron#nessian#she herself thought it was wretched of her to behave this way because of her unhealed trauma#that she’s STILL working through#SHE didn't like being that way.#sometimes it's strange to see how people will glorify those traits of hers like it’s a good thing.#it’s not. that’s the whole point of acosf#why reduce her to some of her worst moments?#let her grow damn it#she can be a badass while not being an asshole#especially to the people who love her#and I’m not inviting hate or rude comments with this post.#if you’re not going to polite - save it. I’m not going to argue with you#and before any of you get offended thinking this is about you#it's not lol.#It's something I've seen more on instagram/tiktok than here but still see it and it's weird.#She can be firm and stand up for herself and a warrior and all those amazing things without reducing her to just being a bitch lol.#gp#random monday thoughts#I love my girl Nesta SO MUCH but she's so much more than her mean girl moments.#also knock it off with the weird cassian hate#he's the love of her life and her literal soulmate#'she's better off without him'#actually no she isn't lol. he's one of the MAIN reason she's able to get better and help herself#have some nuance and calm down lol

the martin antis working so hard to make waves is so funny. like, you are very much allowed to like/dislike any character you please! but making it your whole personality or acting like you’re cooler for it is a little bit silly. you are not morally or intellectually superior for hating on a fiction character.
not to mention all of the characters in tma are very nuanced and complicated, just like real people (!), and erasing all of that to serve a certain narrative is a complete disservice to the entire body of work. jon and martin’s relationship was never meant to be easy, they first and foremost worked closely together as boss/employee, and in a workplace that was actively putting them in dangerous and horrible situations. the whole point is that they’re both super fucked up but they have each other anyway. they both have flaws, they both have gone through a great deal both with and without each other, but they found love anyway. the idea that the dynamic change in s5 is due to martin just being this villain is so wild? like he’s not a doormat anymore but he also loves jon so fiercely and stands by him over and over again?
jon hated him, jon ignored him, was verbally horrible to him again and again, literally sent him on a dangerous investigation and said if anyone had to die might as well be him, jon accused him of murder, screamed at him, jon was on the run, jon died. martin was his number one defender through everything, even when honestly? he didn’t do a lot to prove he deserved it. but martin was strong in his loyalty and did his best to be a supporter anyway. he picked up extra work, he thought of him kindly when no one else did, he mourned him, and he put himself directly in the line of fire for jon. for everyone, yes, but especially for jon, he says that. because after everything, protecting jon is still his number one priority.
it’s so important to his character that he isn’t s1 martin anymore—that he learns to be a real person who has thoughts and feelings and a backbone. jon wanted that, and does it not say something that they don’t work out until martin learns to have a little bite? there’s a difference between being a real complicated traumatized human person, and just straight up being evil, or an asshole. jon had to learn how to be a lot of softer things but martin had to learn how to square his shoulders and stick out his chin. they had different arcs, and that doesn’t make either of them inherently evil or bad. it makes them real and not perfect and very multilayered, yeah.
martin didn’t handle every choice or action perfectly, he made a lot of mistakes, and he never claims to be the best person ever. but jon also fucked up, a lot. it isn’t a competition or a comparison, that’s really not how that works. but they work because of their flaws. that’s a big part of them fitting together. martin represented the humanity they were saving, with all his good and bad. jon was well beyond that, and while that doesn’t inherently compromise his character, it does mean he’s viewed in a much different light.
(meaning i think jon’s sins are seen very very different to martin’s.) (to be clear i think both deserve to be looked at critically, but hating either of them devoutly seems sort of silly.)
i’m not sure how you can listen to tma and all the ways it dissects and reflects on humanity and turn around and run blogs or make posts in the fandom about how you hate one of the main characters for being all of that.
jon never would’ve made it through without martin, even if martin wasn’t the key to everything, he was the reason to push through and not give up. martin is why jon didn’t go full monster mode, why he held onto who he was and his humanity, even with the whole ‘kill bill’ thing. martin gave him a reason to keep going, to try, to care so deeply. obviously there were other factors but jon says it himself, martin you are my reason.
if you can’t handle the fact that martin isn’t a grade a soft boy by the end of the show that’s a lot more about you than it is about him. he grew and maybe not always for the better but he could be a real person for jon instead of some kind of mirror or blank slate to be reflected on. i genuinely don’t understand how he can be misunderstood so deeply.
they’re both fucked up ! and if they are alive Somewhere Else you bet your ass they’re having long talks and going to therapy and fighting and making up and pacing the floors and figuring it all out together. it isn’t clean or easy or necessarily enjoyable all the time, but humanity isn’t either, love isn’t either. they went through unimaginable trauma, and expecting either of them to be holding it together any better than they already are is wild. context, it’s important. but let’s not turn multi-dimensional characters into flat one word answers.
it’s very human to like and dislike, love and hate based off of bias and experiences and perspective. but also opinion does not make fact. everything is relative, everything is subjective, everything everything everything. it’s an open discussion yada yada idk i’m just screaming into the wall about all the nonsense.
and beyond all of that, discourse is so useless. criticism and constructive conversations are really really important but discourse is pointless! oh you ship these people? well that inherently threatens my ship! oh you like this character that i hate? well that makes me feel invalid for hating them. like what you like, hate what you hate, have your feelings. but if you post shit on the internet you will get people who disagree, sorry, that’s how it is. partaking in little arguments over who is right or wrong when it doesn’t actually have to do with anything harmful or unhealthy makes no sense though. posting on the internet about all the hate you have in your heart when the world is already so full of it doesn’t actually do anything but add more bad to an already very large pile of bad.
things can be discussions not arguments sometimes, i promise. it’s not always tooth and nail, and let’s not forget, most of it is over things that never need to be fought over.
#i’m drunk forgive me for my rambles#drunk rambles#tma#the magnus archives#jonmartin#i’m saying what’s been said a million times#jmart#jonathan sims#martin blackwood#rant post#discourse is gonna kill us all#why are you guys arguing about ships#and people#and like silly things that don’t need to be argued about#and why are you posting about all of that hate#is that what we need more of?#i’m just adding fuel to the fire here#but i’m bashing my head against the floor anyway

It makes me so sad that he even has to post this. Why can’t people just be fucking normal and not fucking involve his family??? Or fucking harass him what the fuck?!
#joost#joost klein#like good gods the infighting is insane#I’ll vaguely complain about shit but I’m not gonna actually argue with people#and like ???? stop fucking posting his family holy fucking shit?????#glad I haven’t seen that shit on here but holy fucking shit#leave his family and family photos ALONE#you don’t know him stop acting like being a fan gives you some right to be invasive#Chappell roan literally made a video about similar shit like this today#why the fuck are people thinking it’s okay to just actually stalk someone?!

I see a lot of post on here about Steve dabbling into Eddie’s hobbies and picking up his taste in music. Which is all great. Excellent. Super awesome I love it. But where is the Eddie getting into Steve’s interests? I want Eddie and Steve at a Super Bowl party and Eddie is so into it and Steve is so smitten with him. It starts out as Steve convincing him to watch sports because “eddie you clearly like to ogle jocks” and eventually he’s all about it.
And I want Steve expanding Eddie’s taste in music because “if you only enjoy one genre of something eddie, then you have bad taste in that something.” And Eddie is obviously throughly offended that anyone could ever dare to even think to allude to him having bad taste in music that he makes it his mission to learn all Steve’s faves and that’s how they end up at a Willie Nelson concert and eddie is decked out in black fringe and black studded cowboy hat, wearing a bolo tie and he’s loudly and proudly singing along to every song and Steve is just absolutely swooning.
I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE NEAT IS ALL IM SAYING
#steddie#stranger things#steddie headcanon#steve harrington#eddie munson#Eddie would be a Buffalo Bills fan#Steve would argue with him about this because they live in Indiana so why isn’t he supporting the colts#Eddie just likes the name#they eventually get really into European soccer together#honestly I’m just projecting as a nerdy emo kid that really loves sport and listening to country music#be nice to me#stranger things headcannon

Haterism is so bad anymore. Like did you know if you don’t like something you don’t have to keep engaging with it? I think that’s the problem with these algorithms that show you “what you want to see” because I think they just show people the same haterpilled content over and over again causing them to get angry about this person they don’t even know and having to complain about them again. There is no reason to be constantly hating on celebrities and their fans. There is no need to be arguing with someone on anon when they have a different opinion than you and you know your argument will never change their opinion. Like yes i’m chronically online as well but it’s not normal to be constantly hating on people. Please move on and engage with stuff that you actually enjoy if you want to be online so bad. 😭
#also I think the arguing thing would be so different if it was happening irl#like I’m sorry if you’re arguing with someone online they’re never going to take you seriously because they don’t see you as a real person#bc let’s be real who cares about some random person online who doesn’t agree with you??? I don’t know why some of these people waste their#energy on arguing when they could do literally anything else#autumn rambles

Much has been said about why Jon sacrificing Dany a la Nissa Nissa is horrible, sexist writing (in addition to being completely useless because Dany already fulfilled the prophecy herself)…but no one ever mentions how this literally doesn’t make sense for Jon either? Like the very first chapter in the series, Bran I, tells us what Jon would do if he ever had to make a choice: he would choose to sacrifice himself over anyone else. You mean to tell me that very same Jon who is unwilling to deprive his younger sister of her birthright would deprive a would-be lover of her very life?? That’s just so diametrically opposed to who Jon is. Plus it’s thematically inconsistent because Jon always gets rewarded for sacrificing himself, which is very different from the established Azor Ahai lore given to us by Salladhor Saan.
#I’m always so surprised when I see jon stans supporting this theory as a means of softening the blow from objectively sexist writing#like nooo this not only sucks for dany it sucks big time for jon#why would anyone think this is good for his character??#or even thematically coherent with his arc??#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#daenerys targaryen#jon snow#also like jon might be getting aa mentions but he’s also a last hero parallel - the last hero story is all about self sacrifice fam#which imo makes him a thematically different entity from azor ahai but i don’t wanna argue about that today
