I think depictions of Anya being cruel to Curly or drawing out his suffering are artful and chilling but completely miss the point of the story and her character.

I'm not saying she doesn't deserve to have that "I told you so" moment with him but not in something callous or cold. Even if that is how it happened, she'd immediately feel guilty cause at that point she's not tormenting her tormenter or even the person truly at fault. She's doing something cathartic, similar to how Jimmy likely hits Curly to release rage he can't against the rest of the crew. She'd see herself as no different when she'd come back from the moment and see Curly cowering at her. She wants someone to take responsibility but how does being cruel to the defenseless help? Why would she want the power Jimmy has over her over Curly?

The idea of her extending someone else's pain is just so against the struggles she already faces and how she can't even bring herself to cause someone pain even to help them. Her very desire is to release herself from her own suffering and I doubt she'd even fine some sort of guilty release in being cruel to another.

#anya is not a character i see taking agency or indulging in cathartic behaviors #not knowingly like i see her as a character trapped in her head and maybe in the scenario she's cruel to Curly she is envisioning Jimmy #in his place but its not a story about justice or those deserving of punishment and those not like its the opposite of people projecting #their issues on the wrong people and saying things to the wrong people and doing things they shouldn't but anya uniquely falls out of it as #she is subjected to a lot of it but it is also not something she wants to subject another person to like you are doing what Jimmy does and #placing ur rage into another persons and viewing their actions through your eyes like she'd more likely yell at him than do harm or #cause him more pain like at least make it in character #but also she clearly doesn't want to see jimmy or curly in the same light and doesnt because she still repeatedly goes to Curly for comfort #and protection and god there's like concepts that need to be applied to characters individually and then the story as a whole #we can not view the game through only one themed lens less we forget to inspect the compounding factor of Anya is so much more than girl #that needs to be allowed to go off but a woman that simply wants right to be done by her and no more harm like she doesn't want to be aroun #the suffering like idk but some of yall would just benefit from like understanding that people are inherently grey with the capabilities of #black n white thinking or actions #mouthwashing #mouthwashing game #anya mouthwashing #i like her the most but then again i am defensive of all women in media and hate when people change the way the character would take agency #for themselves like yes I want her to tweak out but she just wouldn't and I like seeing realistic depictions of a woman suffering the way #she is like shes not the type at the end of the movie to have a one liner but feel a shallow freedom cause she needs to realistically heal #idk but its just like there is an obbsession forming with making her character her pain and not how she handles and navigates the issue

there's no way to say this without sounding like i can't take criticism (i can, it's something i had to work on like everybody else), but some people are like. really bad at giving constructive criticism and i think if you're receiving crit from someone that's not a bad thing to keep in mind for ur own sanity lol

#swear to god this is not about any one instance in particular #i just feel like there r a lot of people who give criticism without #coming from a place of 'what are the author's intentions'#and 'how does my crit help the auth clarify or improve on executing these intentions'#anyways there's advice about taking the advice that's relevant to you and leave that which isn't so this is an extension of that #anyways if you have ever had a frightfully uncharitable and unhelpful critique experience i hope u get what i mean #disclaimer that this applies differently to sensitivity readers #i think #i guess #anyways hiiiii #writeblr #chitchat

people on tumblr really preach getting better then when someone does get better they still treat them the same. you just want them to go away forever but don't wanna be mean about it

#this is NOT targeted especially not towards anyone who will see this post #this applies to other places too like youtube and twitter but i see it a lot here

even after settling down, theyre pretty cautious.....

.......it doesnt last long

#princess tutu #princess tutu spoilers #ahiru #fakir #fakiru #art tag #my anime straight couple ever. nobody is doing it like them #anyway i know theres not a lot of reasons to think the 'confessing love = disappearing' rule still applies post-canon #but ahiru being human again necessitates that there are still reality-warping powers at work #and it's because of drosselmeyer that she was ever human in the first place so i can see them being nervous about it #also this is an aside but i picture after fakir writes ahiru back into a girl they kinda have to flee gold crown town #to avoid fakir getting his hands chopped up by cultists and everything yknow #they settle down somewhere else in the german countryside with a little village nearby and have a simple life #ahiru keeps practicing ballet and fakir keeps writing and theyre happy :)

Had the dumbest conversation with my sister and it reminded me of these two. Sending a resume including SCUBA ocean diving certifications without context while applying for a job seems like something Wind would do.

:)

#difkdifnsofkou resumes are hard #I love my sister imagine opening your little sisters resume she asked for help on and she's fucking listing shore dives #I'm glad I can ask her for help :)#linkeduniverse #linked universe #Lu wind #Lu legend #I almost forgot to put my freaking. college degree on there #also I swear the performance stuff made sense it's for show diving and they wanna know I can perform and do public speaking #but yeah the music wasn't relevant but made it even more perfect for wind #modern au style where he asks legend for help applying for a job in the most kid-way possible #legend is basically my sister so this was pretty much our exact conversation #wind matches my level of dumbassery on adult things well I think #idk if I'll get the job but applying for a diving one seems like a good opportunity #I have lots of experience. the ocean's a good place.

Reminder that seeing yourself/relating your experiences through characters with headcanons is valid.

Kind of out of no where but i saw a post that is just one of many people echoing this attitude i see online…it’s bothering me and i have to get it out of my system, it’s perfectly valid to have headcanons on a characters gender orientation, sexual orientation, culture, religion, etc. don’t feel invalid or stupid for seeing yourself in a character. representation doesn’t have to be a one-to-one replica for it to be valid.

i hate when people on the internet see headcanons and feel the need to tear people down over it, or invalidate why that person relates to the character in the way they do.

not everyone relates in the same way and that’s okay and normal…

but that doesn’t mean you should feel the need to invalidate other people. it might sound like it’s not that deep but representation means so much to those of us in underrepresented communities! Headcanons? not that deep. but it might mean something special to someone else (or maybe it’s not even that deep which for the record is also entirely valid???) so i really don’t see the point in making it a big deal.

i appreciate media analysis but when it’s done in a way that disrespects people for the harmless, and honestly valid headcanons people have, that’s pretty off-putting and frustrating. (especially using other peoples harmless art and posts to prove a point? that’s mad disrespectful.)

we all have different experiences and different things we relate to and that’s beautiful, can we stop putting people down?

can we stop invalidating people for relating to a characters experience? can we stop scoffing at creators when they show support to the communities that are invested in and around their work? that’s an amazing thing that should be encouraged, that’s what builds strong communities and helps makes people feel welcomed, safe. if it sounds stupid, it probably doesn’t apply to you.

and honestly it doesn’t matter if it applies to you or not, it means a lot to someone else and that makes it valid.

#rant ig #sorry #i don’t want people to feel discluded or stupid or invalid #also to be clear you don’t have to have a reason to justify headcanons in the first place but yk.#i’ve felt like that a lot and i think it’s bs #sighs loudly #you can probably guess who this is about but please don’t ask this isn’t meant to be hateful in any way #seeing this come up in the utmv fandom specifically but it applies anywhere #i like to give the benifit of the doubt but i’m getting a hint of transphobia </3 #characters having a relatable experience to underrepresented communities doesn’t diminish their value or story or character..#sorry if this is vaugeposty i just. don’t feel like interacting with transphobes today.

Ah, childhood memories (Patreon)

#Doodles #UT #Handplates #Sans #Gaster #Having such clear external-view memories of what happened when they were young would probably give Sans a lot of ammunition lol #Not that they'd know any different - their poor memories honestly :( - but having such clear memories in places would have to be weird #Most people have childhood amnesia to an extent! Tho it's hard to say when that would've applied to them anyway with their sped-up growth #Not to mention the trauma #And it's possible that doesn't apply to Monsters to begin with lol - but it's all a moot point anyway since these are their only memories!#It's sad to think of how much of themselves are missing forever since Gaster didn't experience them :(#This is what happens when you get behind on your work >:0 #I really wonder what their lack of memories/restoration of memories would do for their like/dislike of certain things!#Like how Papyrus says that sitting with Sans in his lap makes a lot of sense as to why it was so familiar and comforting #But also that knowing makes it sad as well :( Knowing recolours their understanding and interpretation!#Knowing Why makes things make sense but does it actually Help? It's a tough question - certainly it hurts in the moment #The little things Gaster has infected for them and for himself ♥ Like taking notes! Like chess and sweets and spaghetti and lab coats #And dark sweaters and cigarette smoke and hugs and intelligence - how many pieces of all of them have A Feeling attached #How many more have A Memory - and even more than that A Memory Lost and unrecoverable ughhh ♥#But the little things they can hold on to hehe <3 Like pinging Gaster for what they all know and remember #Why does he even keep coming over if he knows the reception he'll get? Lol #Feels particularly self-loathing and goes to get bullied as penance pfft

till infinity!

Happy Birthday Patton!!! since he's one of my favs, I wanted to pull out all the stops, but I also thought I could get a little self-indulgent LOL

so, here's Pat as Nikki from Infinity Nikki!! this outfit reminds me so much of him, so I just had to choose it ^_^

here's an extra little comic idea I couldn't get out of my head abt Giroda reminding Pat of Roman </3 + a little warm up sketch of Pat & Momo!

#sasi #sasi fanart #tss #tss fanart #patton sanders #patton sanders fanart #ts patton #sanders sides #infinity nikki #hero draws #this is a very niche crossover that mostly only applies to me but if you're another patton / sasi and infinikki fan then i hope u enjoy!!#i had a lot of fun thinking about this idea of him getting isekai-ed into nikki's place (isekai-ception...) so you may see it again from me

We did it guys! Minthara is in the top 100 most mentioned video game characters on Tumblr, sitting comfortably at rank 55!

With Astarion at rank 1 (cause of course), Gale at 5, Shadowheart at 6, Karlach at 8, Lae'zel at 9, Wyll at 12, Halsin at 16, Tav at 19, Gortash at 47, and The Dark Urge at 67. Baldur's Gate 3 is also the most talked about video game on this platform, as well as the 6th most talked about thing on all of Tumblr!

I wish Minthara was higher, but you know what, I'm happy she's on there at all! It is also interesting that she ranks higher than Durge and that Durge is that low on the list. It's also pretty interesting that there is such a discrepancy between Durge and Gortash as Durgetash is also the 67th most talked about ship on the platform. It is quite an achievement that our favorite drow is even on that list at all.

It is all just making me think back to some of the more dejecting AO3 statistics with Minthara almost being a blip, practically a statistical outlier in some ways. Even some insignificant side characters got more attention and adoration than her, or had numbers that would compare to her. But Tumblr is a much bigger platform than AO3, containing a much wider array of topics (including fanfics). So for Baldur's Gate 3 and Minthara to stand out that much is really saying something! Reading these statistics on Tumblr does go to show that one platform does not represent the entire fandom and that AO3 is only a piece of the picture.

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #minthara #minthara baenre #evil murder kitten #bg3 statistics #minthara seems to always be outshined by other characters like raphael or harleep or even fucking abdirak #(lol i'm actually surprised raphael *didn't* show up on the list)#where it seemed like there were more fanfics and fanart and overall fan creations involving them than her #and it may be true as the tags on tumblr don't exactly detail the purpose of the tag (some of them may involve critical posts too)#but out of all the characters in baldur's gate 3 #the ones listed include the 8 romanceable companions. 2 custom player characters. and... gortash #so even if there are more fan creations of the insignificant characters - minthara is more discussed than all of them #the same thing also applies to a lot of the other characters like wyll #in my experience on many platforms - it often seemed like wyll was left out of a lot of discussions #in some places - minthara is talked about more than wyll! (not that there is anything wrong with that though)#i do agree that wyll doesn't really get talked about a lot and many people feel like he is ignored #but he is the 12th most talked about video game character on this platform #the AO3 stats also painted a sad picture for the other female characters as well #with the exception of minthara all of the other female characters are in the top 10 most talked about video game characters #i'm really glad i came across these stats because it does put a lot of things into perspective

aftg fans denying every conventionally "bad trait" the characters have as if they didn't pick up a book about morally gray people with mental illnesses who act mentally ill. it is so dumb. saying Nora doesn't know them ??????? kjjjjj your fave is a bitch and you can't help it lmao

#im not talking about the weird representation of very specific mental illnesses #but. your blorbo is not a good person. he does bad things #why are you reading this in the first place #aftg #all for the game #im literally talking about andrew here who i love #but it applies to a lot of them #andrew minyard

shout out to daan fear and hunger for being a (textually) male character whom is narratively a woman. orange really hit it out of the park with that one

#korro.txt #by which i mean every single archetype that daan encapsulates is usually one applied to female characters #'poor orphan sex worker is adopted by a rich family and made to be the heir's concubine esque partner'#is a very common archetype in regards to 1800s fiction #which late 1800s is the time period of his life taking place in f&h #ive gone on before on how daan & the von dutch's whole deal is just genderbent frankenstein #and also him being a male victim of csa and sex trafficking #like idk its just nice to see it. not something a lot of stories even bother to discuss #ofc this also makes the fandom treatment of him as both the fandom bicycle and ESPECIALLY daarin dynamics #extreeeemely. weirdchamp #the leftism leaving people's bodies the moment a male character is a victim etc etc #fear and hunger #daan
