free will is drawing ur two favorite characters together and making them gay
#akekita content in this economy? it's more likely than you think#this is like for the three ppl that ship them (me tumblr user haliai and atlus)#also which boyliker at atlus designed yusuke's phantom outfit like WHY is he dressed like a gay hooker 💀💀💀💀#the skintight spandex bodysuit designed to show off the slutty waist?? the exposed cleavage?? the cunty little fox tail?? bro 😭#my hand was shaking while i was drawing the second img it felt so IMMODEST 😭😭😭😭😭#i wish atlus confirmed which highschool akechi went to bc i love the hc that he attends kosei#his tie matches hifumi's ribbon so i think they're trying to tell us smt (im delusional)#ANYWAY akechi and yusuke would match each other's freak lowkey like they're both hardcore yappers that weird everyone else tf out#akechi would find solidarity in the fact that yusuke doesn't shut up abt whatever he's interested in#also also the fact that akechi is a mirror version of him bc they're victims of the same situation#both being exploited and utilized as tools after their mothers death#by the man they called father in exchange for validation or a false sense of place#but ultimately yusuke was saved by phantom thieves while akechi refused any pity and slowly succumbed to fate of his own making#really makes you look at atlus and think whats going on in their buttery smooth brains for not including other character interactions#aside from the social links with joker. the wasted dynamic potential between some of the characters is insane 😭#persona 5#p5#yusuke kitagawa#kitagawa yusuke#goro akechi#akechi goro#akekita#bro me when i stay up until three am drawing persona instead of finishing my lab (i’m beyond cooked 💀💀)#i think i need to switch college majors i can’t keep doing this#lotus draws

"I was gonna say you're like a son to me.. but you're more than that."
"It ain't that complicated!"
How quickly that shoulder pat of comfort turned into a condescending one.
#he makes me feel so emo#this life was never meant for you but your fate was forced#the way dutch (and hosea) talks to arthur like he's stupid will never sit right with me#like they've been by his side over 20 years they KNOW he isn't stupid because if he was he would have been gone a long time ago#not only is arthur incredibly emotionally smart but he's a trained conman vault breaker gunslinger horse rider you name it#the fact that his own adoptive parents break him down like that hurts#it's a manipulation tactic on dutch's end - break your victims self esteem to make them chase your praise and approval#hosea I believe has just gone along with that kind of attitude but in a different way he just likes to jest lightheartedly#arthur doesn't see the difference though and it's understandable but he takes it to heart#the worst part is that hosea sees through his tough guy act and has called arthur out on it#his act is a defence mechanism to protect himself from being too vulnerable - in arthur's mind#and it isn't a sudden thing it's very likely something that has built over the years given the life he has lived#and hosea notices he knows this#but they still jab at arthur#oh it hurts#is he your son dutch? or is he your guard dog? your personal workhorse?#playing through the second time is opening my eyes more and more#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#mick squeaks#mick rants#mick gifs#arthur morgan#dutch van der linde#liveblogging#you guys gotta understand - arthur seeks and longs for dutch's approval he'll never say it but it's the key motive behind his loyalty#and arthur *rejects* dutch's comfort#he doesn't *want* dutch to pat him on the shoulder because he knows dutch is digging them an even deeper hole#he doesn't want that touch he craves#it's so insanely monumental for such a small scene because it shows us how arthur feels without telling us

Katara playfully splashes water at Aang, who responded by sulking in a brooding cave and then exploding lava in her face and storming off without any apology. From The Lost Adventures.
Golly gee why don't I want to ship such a wholesome wonderful healthy ship like this? Gee whiz, it's great Katara didn't end with Zuko, otherwise she might get lava thrown at her in an argument from an immature, emotionally unavailable, abusive jerk! /s Oh, right, Aang is the one who did that.
Aang has always been the one to hurt Katara. Funny Zuko hasn't. Remind me again who scarred Katara's hands, who blew up into the avatar state leaving Katara to pull him out lest he destroy her, her brother, and everything around him? Who stormed off right before the finale without communication leaving his friends to die in the invasion? Was it Zuko who did those things? Was it?
Such a wholesome ship!
#anti kataang#atla comics#zutara#in a bad mood now that i had to look these pages up for someone's ask and be reminded how atrocious they were#anti aang#just a cute cuddly twelve year old huh?#he's an abuser and an asshole#this is not how conflict resolution works#he just storms off and won't communicate#he gets mad at her lashes out and acts like he is the victim#i hate this so much#i would dump any guy who acted this way and i am infuriated that this was katara's fate in canon#the discourse

the reason people get mad and upset over aang not killing ozai is because they can’t or are unwilling to understand what it really meant for him to be the last airbender
a lot of people don’t truly acknowledge what aang went through when they talk about him. it was a genocide. an ethnic cleansing. a GENOCIDE. and i think that’s because so many people are just incapable or unwilling to wrap their heads around how tragic and isolating and unchangeable something like that is.
i’ve seen countless people say they wish aang had found other airbenders hiding away somewhere. and while i totally get wanting that to happen for the happiness of the character (hell, even i have thought about how heart wrenching that utter relief would feel for him), i’ve also seen those takes associated with people saying they just find it hard to believe that none of the airbenders survived. that none of them were able to escape.
and that’s the thing that annoys me because genocide is a real fucking thing that has happened and IS currently happening in the world (just look at palestine, congo, sudan). it shouldn’t be so hard for people to suspend their belief into thinking it could happen in a fictional piece of media. this disbelief that a genocide can be real results in people being unable to fully sympathize with a character who is stated several times to be the definite, unchangeable sole survivor of his people’s genocide. and i’m not saying it’s wrong to want there to be airbenders who lived, but in canon it’s clear that none of them did. and the ones who did canonically escape were hunted and lured by the fire nation to their demise. and if we’re going to discuss characters and the intents behind their actions, aang’s character development is heavily, heavily heavily guided by his guilt and grief over his lost culture and people. but a lot of people still can’t wrap their heads around the canonical genocide he survived, meaning they can’t fully comprehend why aang would choose peace over a violent end. and considering atla is a western show with a largely western audience, its even more evident that this gap in people’s ability to understand and sympathize with aang is emphasized by their western intrigue toward violence. people don’t just misunderstand aang’s dilemma—they wanted him to kill ozai because seeing him do that would have been cool and interesting and satisfying.
but aang’s decision to spare ozai’s life was made due to his status as the last airbender. prior to meeting the lion turtle, i think it’s safe to say that he had resigned to what he had to do. that is to say, he was likely going to kill ozai despite the pain that was going to cause him. he was going to give up a part of himself, his humanity and the last remainings of his culture, to be the avatar the world needed. but he was then gifted the ability to energy bend, offering him, but not cementing, another option. aang still had the choice, and we saw in the fight that aang was so very close to killing ozai even with this new ability. but he couldn’t. because although killing ozai would have been a pretty justifiable thing to do, it would have fully finished off the air nomads. aang was the only living human who held onto their beliefs. if he were to push those values aside to end the war, the war would have ended the same way it started: with the death of the air nomads. and it may sound “cheesy” or overly dramatic or whatever to some people, but aang’s entire story arc has, arguably, been him trying to fit in a world that seemingly has no more room for the air nomads. not only is he 100 years in the future, but this future has none of his people around and war is everywhere. violence is basically required to survive. death is everywhere. greed has corrupted nations. everything the air nomads stood against made up this world, and aang, as the avatar, had no choice but to save it. for him to have given in to what everyone expected of him—violence—he would have ultimately eliminated air nomad values from the world. and the world would have not cared. aang’s victory would have been celebrated, but aang would have felt even more grief than before. he would have let himself and his people down. and balance would have never been achieved because the air nomads mattered. they were part of what kept the world going round. no matter how much the current world he was fighting for called for violence and death to achieve an end, the air nomads still had a voice through aang. they were still around because of aang. aang’s existence and dedication and love for his culture kept the genocide from being official.
and in my opinion, air nomadic values coming out victorious in a war that nearly wiped them clean (except for aang) is much more of a meaningful and satisfying ending than violence ending with violence.
and if you wanna call aang’s decision selfish, then fine. but i personally think it’s more selfish to expect a survivor of genocide to keep giving and giving and giving for a war that took his people from him until he has nothing left of himself to give. i think that is far more selfish. aang may be the avatar but he is also human. just as much human as his people were, and the leaders he was fighting against, and the millions of people he ended up saving, and just as deserving of having some sort of agency in the decisions he makes. call me crazy ig
#aang’s decision to spare ozai was the right decision and yall will never convince me otherwise#aang was a victim of this war and his people deserved to receive justice in a way they would have appreciated and advocated for#and if you wanna say it was selfish of him#then so what??#call me crazy but i think a 12 year old survivor of genocide is more than right to be selfish when confronting the man#whose forefathers took his people and culture from the earth#and who planned on giving that same fate to other nations of people#atla#avatar the last airbender#pro aang#aang defense squad#air nomads#airbenders#aang#avatar aang

Thinking about Trans masc Jason. Jason who has only just started to figure out who he is at the manor but everyone still thinks of him as a girl because he hasn't found the courage to correct them, and they use the wrong name because he hasn't found the right one yet. And the only time he feels like himself is when he puts on the Robin uniform because Robin is a boy and that's how he wants to feel all the time. But theres s difference between being Batman's Robin and being Bruce Wayne's son, and he still thinks Jason is his daughter.
Jason who dies a boy, as Robin, but is buried as a girl. Who comes back more dead than alive and is little more than an object to everyone but Talia. The pit that heals his body and brain, but also his soul. And so he wakes up in the body of a man and he doesn't know what to do with it but he feels like he can breathe again.
#Jason when he comes home and Bruce's Daughter is this unreachable paragon of innocence and family#but his Robin is a soldier a cautionary tale a victim who earned his fate#and he realizes that Bruce will never see him as who he is#he'll always be haunted by the ghost of the girl he was#jason todd#dc#trans! Jason Todd

say what you will about svu and copaganda but the consistently repeated theme that olivia benson was fundamentally born Wrong and the way the violence of her conception radiates out and impacts every single relationship she has. she cannot conceive of an existence that does not render her as an agent of justice rather than a complex person and it infects her interactions with anyone who is able to balance that responsibility. the way law & order manages to successfully recast the police as superhero-esque christ figures is genuinely incredible and like. even the way the show itself oscillates as to what her exact fate is episode to episode. does it get better? worse? can she ever prove herself worthy? is the past ever really past? is this thing she’s been justly burdened with her burden to carry at all? in the eyes of the Law. Our Father who art in heaven. i wash my hands of this.
#like idk it eats a little bit. it worms into you a little bit.#i try to avoid talking about cop shows bc i think very often they are a net negative and i have very complicated feelings about them#but i do like shows like law and order for the same reason i like shows like greys anatomy#bc fundamentally they are polemics. the characters are not really Characters but more vessels for a message#and that inherent conflict between the Moral Argument and the characters themselves is really fascinating to me#something about free will and pre-determined fate blah blah#anyways. olivia benson i love you woman who is somehow everything#olivia benson#law & order#law and order svu#law and order special victims unit#copaganda

i’m gonna come out and say it: i don’t find alana bloom annoying and the number of people saying that is misogynistic
#nbc hannibal#alana bloom#i’m tired of seeing negativity for women in a show that killed two of its main women and both of them being women of color#also people hating on freddie??#oh come on#please she rules#like you guys will excuse cannibalism but draw the line at a character that suffers bad writing??#yall like ‘abigail fate was so tragic/she deserved better’ MY DUDE ALANA WAS THE ONLY WHO WANTED HER TO LEAD A HEALTHY LIFE#she’s the only one who didn’t have personal interest in her#she just wanted the best#like the hate see to be only because she got with hannibal and got manipulated by him#SHE IS ONE OF HIS VICTIMS

Just thinking about how, in the universe where Bruce did killed the Joker, Jason never came back to life, like the fates themselves cursed Bruce to never get his son back as a punishment for his murder(s). And all the Batfam abandoned him, even Alfred isn't around anymore. He never adopted Dick, as it happens after Jason's death. He killed so he never got his sons and his daughter. Bruce is cursed to be alone forever as a price for the lives he has taken. He says he is fine with it, that they don't understand what need to be done, but this is Bruce Wayne we are talking about, he hates being lonely. But he isn't a protector anymore, so he is no longer a father.
#bruce wayne#batfam#batman#jason todd#dc comics#Jason's death and everything surrounding it is so greek tragedy coded#like originally greek tragedies were so painful to watch they had to create comedy to balance it out#and my professors argue that if we were to watch a greek tragedy like they were originally it would make us crazy#and I think Jason's death and the whole thing about it is so much pain and emotions it's very close to what tragedy was#there's no winning for them only pain it can never go well#that's why I always bring the fates which is funny because Bruce doesn’t believe in fate#but also he is a fictional character people who write him already know what is going to happen so he is a victim of fate#my ramblings#I wished DC used this more like Jason was fine with this Bruce at the time I went him to realize this man was no father
