Viserys shouldn't marry alicent. And after alicent revail to be a threat for rhaenyra viserys should have killed her

your right, a grown ass man shouldn't have married a little girl, raped her, forced her to have multiple children before the age of 18, only to ignore and neglect them, dooming them to essentially, death (cause he had to have known the political fallout of multiple male heirs being succeeded by a woman would cause turmoil, yet he did nothing to avoid this, nothing to facilitate a smooth succession of power, nothing to protect Rhaenyra's ascent, nothing to protect his wife and other children, all things expected of a king. he could have stopped the war before it started, or at the very least tried to, but he didn't cause he's fucking pathetic).

but wanting a woman to be killed simply for protecting her children, is wild. expecting Viserys, Mr "I don't even do the bare minimum of my duty, let alone family conflict" to do it, is even wilder.

if Rhaenyra had done that to Alicent y'all would be applauding her. but because the none targ, none heir did it, shame to her, she should be killed, make that stoned? hung? burned? beheaded in front of the masses? none of it would have been enough for some of you fans.

cause yeah, lets leave the kids already doomed to die, kids without an actual father figure due to their sister have their mum executed cause of their sister too, that'll totally end well, totally won't spur them for revenge even more than when Aemond had just lost an eye.

I'M GOING TO LIVE

[littleaipom]

going thru my childhood art rn and i keep finding more and more PMD(time/darkness) fanart. i don't think i've ever been more not-normal about a piece of media in my life..... just unearthed a "poster" of me, my partner, and the ghost of grovyle staring off into the sunset together and was hit with the memory of how i had that thing hanging over my bed+window for so long. i would stare at it reverently all the time i literally wanted that game to be my reality so bad.

It's actually fucking crazy how most of the league of villains are dead

I'll be honest, when Tomura died, I was very sad but I also thought that, narratively, if at least one of the other main villains were alive, preferably Toga or Dabi (because they are the only other two who have had more time invested in them by their heroes prior to the final war arc. thought was actually put into who they are as people), then the theme about everyone being saved including the villains who may need it can still mean something. Even with Tomura dead, something can still come from this

But then it was revealed Toga is dead. And then Dabi died too. Well, shit. Do we have any other villains left who can still make up the theme of "villains can be saved too"? Hmmm, let's see. Twice is dead. Kurogiri is dead. Stain is dead. Spinner is alive! Oh but there's no actual redemption for him and he's writing a book about the League's legacy. And maybe there's some hope there because he wished Shouji good luck, but, again, last we saw him he was in police custody, which doesn't really say anything good. Aaand Compress is in jail. Amazing (/sarcasm)

Actually, the only villains who could still carry along the theme of "everyone can be saved (villains too)" are Lady Nagant, Gentle Criminal and La Brava. They had redemption arcs and were somewhat saved by a hero, or at least they have a connection to him, and they survive until the end of the story

However, these are characters we don't know as well, aren't as relatable and don't show up continously like the League did. If you like these characters, that's great, but as characters who really only show up TWICE in the whole 430 chapter story (and remember, prior to the final war arc, they had only shown up once. ONCE. before being put aside for the end), it isn't as hard-hitting as it would have been with the League, and for a story like this that hinges on the implication of "but what about the villains who should be given the chance to have someone reach out and save them?", with an already full cast of main villains who absolutely had the narrative opportunity to be saved being killed off or imprisoned, it just doesn't. land well

Honestly it would have been all good and fine if these 3 were the only ones left to be saved, if they had had more appearances rather than just being one-arc opponents. Genuinely, if they had shown up more and had a bit more depth and insight into their characters or connections with the mc, I would have accepted it. Albeit sadly, since the lov would still be dead and I loved them, but I would still think "at least the theme still has meaning to it. at least there are still some villains who did get that redemption and tied it all in with reaching out for people who need it"

But that's not the case. With only having one other appearance before their last ones in the final war, in connection to the theme, it's just. weak. It's handled weakly, imo. Especially when, yknow, you kill off or put away most of the villains who could have been saved

And, actually, let's talk further about this. Because even though Lady Nagant is somewhat saved, survives and helps out the mc, she doesn't offer a good message at the end of the story. It's quite a shaky message tbh. To paraphrase, she basically says "I know I have the choice to go back into society now but honestly I don't trust it's not gonna be the same way it was again so I'm choosing to stay in jail and see what happens.". Which. I mean I guess it's something, in the face of her whole "AFO is bad but at least he means what he says" thing from before, at least now there's the implication that she's gonna wait to see how things go instead of jumping to work for a supervillain now that she has free choice again, but when the ending of your story is "things are going in the right direction" and you choose to have one of the only surviving villains who follows one of your themes stay in jail instead of returning to society or even just not living in jail but still watching what happens from afar is very. weird

And though it's a weird decision, I think the thing that would have made me feel better about it is seeing her out of jail in the future. At least just one panel of her, maybe somewhere in the background walking around the city or something. It would have made sense for her to initially be like "I'm nervous about the future and how things could change or not change at all" and then have her free in the outside world, showing that she overcame that fear of being used again after seeing how things supposedly changed. I get that this is probably something that's supposed to be left up to interpretation, but as a villain who actually made it and connected with one of the heroes, I think it would have meant something for her character, for what the heroes were trying (or saying they were trying) to achieve

Which leaves us with Gentle Criminal and La Brava. On the whole, these two are the only villains who get a redemption arc, survive the story and clearly go on to live their lives happily in society

And again, this would have been great if we had gotten more time with them. It would have been great if we had actually seen more of what their lives were like after the war, building their new business together instead of returning to villainy, instead of just having One (1) panel to show us they're alive. It would have been great if we didn't just have most of the villains, who we had more time with, who were pretty sympathetic (not that Gentle and Brava didn't have their moments but still) killed off or imprisoned without any deeper thought. But that's not the case, so it just sort of falls flat for me

Unless you're a Gentle and Brava stan and shipper, in which case congratulations. I like them too, they're cute! But it is insane to me, given everything

So I mean. Yeah. The only villains who really make it, who really add anything to the theme of "everyone can be saved even villains who may need help", are Gentle Criminal and La Brava

(and Nagant if we're giving the benefit of the doubt to the weird decision of her panels in jail being the last time we ever see her. I'm aware she's in prison just like Compress and such, but at least she has a choice whether she stays or goes, meaning she may get out in the future of her own will thanks to Hawks)

[oulkheir]

this 4koma is changing my entire perception of the yuki-shizu relationship WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY USED TO BICKER ALL THE TIME LIKE RITSUKA AND HIIRAGI?!?!? AND WE DIDN'T SEE THAT??!? KIZU WHY DO YOU WAIT SO LATE TO TELL US THIS WE DESERVED TO KNOW?????!!!

this detail is so frickin funny but obviously so important for the yuki-shizu relationship because i don't know how to explain it but it definitely explains a lot of shizu's reactions and his bitter feelings towards yuki!!! they had a love-hate relationship so :

i take this a lot less seriously rn-- because i've always had a heartbreak when reading this part and now it just sounds so silly to me with a completely other tone. even if shizu was still not okay about this, it seems like this line has less to do with his feeling of loneliness than i used to think.

plus i've seen a few theories on their relationship since it's never been explicitly shown or described, and i've never seen people theorising that the reason why shizu isn't talking about his grief or showing an explicit sadness after yuki's death is because they had a kind of rivalry so he probably just felt awkward after his death because he had no idea how to react.

no that's insane the author messed up for revealing this precious intel in a 4koma after the movie (one that won't benefit international fans since it isn't featured in a volume) :( i'm mad rn

stop reblogging people's work talking shit about what they are editing you sound like an asshole every single time

[badolmen]

Actually I’m still not over writing prompt s not only accusing Palestinian and Arab bloggers who have been here and doing activism for years of being a scam ring, but proceeding to double down and ignore any evidence to the contrary because they were ‘clearly’ scammers.

Y’know what a scammer does when they get called out or someone publicly voices suspicion? They cut and run. Scams are a cost benefit analysis and once you’re got, you’re GOT and you need to take your money and run. Diminishing returns hits hard after you’re accused of running a scam (and if you are, it’s a LOT of work to fabricate the necessary evidence). There’s no financial reason to insist innocence - the honey moon phase is over and it’s on to the next mark.

So when the people you accuse of being scammers don’t go quiet? Don’t take the money and scram? That’s a pretty dead give away that they’re not running a scam - no seasoned con artist (and you would have to be experienced to run a scam on the scale writing prompt s was writing conspiracy essays about) would stick around after that.

i hate that finding a good job this day always requires networking. what about us antisocial bitches that say more words to an npc than to a human in a day. i really should be able to get a decent job with skills alone, not through someone i happen to know, because i don’t know that many people.

look we can take screenshots of people saying weird shit all day long but what is more likely. that tumblr staff has for the first time ever decide to take massive action against a vague group of "paraphiles" with no warning. or that this is a continuiation of a pattern of years worth of targeting transfem users who post anything even remotely sexual and/or critical of staff.
