#this is canon you can't tell me otherwise

[tubbytarchia]

Honestly, the whole idea that "if you criticize scott you're homophobic" is so terribly problematic. Basically giving him blanket clearance to do anything or say anything and if you criticize it, well, you're just homophobic. I can't imagine that's a good mindset to have as a person, let alone to see someone having as an impressionable young person.

I'm sure scott is a lovely guy in person but seeing how he acts online, frequently as a holier-than-thou type character, and looking down at others, like saying he interrupted a canon event by preventing scar and jimmy from pairing, is just upsetting. I find myself as the same as character joel in the life series, rooting for his death.

Something else that has really irritated me in the life series is how often he gifts deaths to other people. He did it so much in limited life. He literally gave every one of his deaths in secret life to someone else. And he acted so smarmy about it, too, like "oh I am taking this precious life and graciously giving it to you because otherwise I might never die to anything".

I was really happy when most of scott's deaths in wild life happened out of his control, like yes you are exactly the same as everyone else. Stop trying to act otherwise. Anywise thanks for being open about criticism. I don't know if I ever thought about toxic positivity until I saw you talking about it!

Oh I have so many thoughts on Scott's self-sacrificial nature. The toxic positivity is much more prominent on twitter but does still rear its ugly head on tumblr too. Especially concerning Scott's character, which I agree with you on. Him giving up his lives is doubly interesting and in the same vein frustrating to me because half the time it doesn't necessarily even leave the recipient better off

Gem did not want to kill him in SL, but because he has a martyr complex, he made it happen anyway, disregarding Gem's hesitancy. I'm sorry but to me, in that moment he was thinking about himself first and Gem second, which is how I think he regards every single one of his sacrifices. Especially when you contrast that with the Mounders, where Pearl rooted for Bdubs (and Joel but mostly Bdubs) and suggested herself being killed for Bdubs once things got dicey, but it never coming to it. Pearl so deeply wanted for Bdubs to win, and Bdubs, although not very confident, wanted to as well for Pearl. There was never any pressure involved in that unlike Scott's last minute and frankly kind of random sacrifice. He wasn't that low on hearts and Gem would have stood a much better chance against Pearl and Scar with him by his side

In Wild Life, Pearl didn't feel good about taking Scott's life, and Scott basically said he was doing it to quell Pearl. Something also about the fact that Pearl wanted to decide how to do it, just as some remnant of control when she really didn't have any for almost the entirity of Wild Life

In Limited Life, Scott was ready to give up that life he'd promised Jimmy, but then used it to try and coax Jimmy into telling him he loved him. And Jimmy has had a few other people give up their lives for him, Bdubs out of selflessness and Ren out of a promise for an allyship. And yet the only sacrifice Jimmy has even referenced after the fact, is the one Joel had planned but didn't even succeed with. That holds more importance to Jimmy than Scott's sacrifice, which I think says something

And of course, Scott blowing himself up in Double Life. Because Pearl deserved the win more than he did, he says without giving Pearl much opportunity to speak, taking control of the ending that was supposed to belong to Pearl

It's all very interesting to analyse, his character is super intricate and unique in this sense, but it does unfortunately become more frustrating paired with his unchanging selective framing of events and putting down of other characters through no wrongdoing of their own etc

Blossick was the first ship I liked as a kid. And it also introduced me to whole "enemies to lovers" and the whole opposite attract streets mart x Booksmart debacle. I personally like them but as teenagers.

It kind of sucks that Majority of the Fandom's interpretation of Brick is him being booksmart and not streetsmart. Because Blossick gives me such "English please?" Energy. (The joke where the smart character says something and the dumb character doesn't get it so they ask the smart character to speak "english". To dumb it down in a way they can understand.

Playing Devil's Advocate:

The Fandom tend to think that RRB have the same personalities as their counterparts even though they Don't. If anything they are opposites personality wise.

Brick is rude, aggressive and Brash while Blossom is more cool headed and calm and polite, but Brick still the leader of the rowdyruff boys. He is just a different type of leader. Canon wise, Brick is the most self aware than Boomer and Butch. And Brick is probably in a lot of pressure Just like How Blossom is in alot of pressure in protecting the city.

Brick and Blossom maybe different people but their experiences can be similar to each other. (I mean who says that Boomer and Butch won't cut off Brick's hair one day.)

The most obvious example is Boomubbles. Boomer is airhead but he is also very aggressive, Snippy and considers Bubbles to be weak. He isn't the type to like Cuteness at all. He often times overcompensates for manly. While Bubbles is Sweet and Sugary, Boomer is a lil mean and snippy.

He may be airhead but doesn't mean he is the nicest (if anything he is shown to be the opposites.) But both him Bubbles are in the same roles. Being "youngest" and getting teased by their siblings. Boomer isn't a crybaby, He Broods more than cries.

(But the Fandom just interprets him as bubbles no.2.)

And Butch For some reason people cannot accept the fact he is the least aggressive out of 3. Like come on, Butch is literally only who doesn't hit his brothers. (Muiltiverse doesn't count because it's a mix of canon and headcanon). But if go buy the comics and Episodes from the Canon, You clearly that he isn't aggressive. Him being Buttercup's counterpart does not imply that he is. He is just a goofball who chooses to blindly follow and trust Brick rather than disagree with him like Buttercup does with Blossom.

Butch is a yes man, There isn't much evidence proving otherwise and Butch doesn't hit his brothers. He is actually just chill kid who enjoys the simpler things in life and is a goofball when Brick cues him to be one. (But the Fandom categorize him as unstable because he twitches.)

And it sucks because I think canon Butch and Buttercup would have interesting dynamic. They could learn from each other. But they still have same roles. (Butch is second in command).

They have both differences and similarities to their counterparts.

Brick/Blossom (Personality wise: Opposites) but they are both leaders and smart. I can't believe I'm saying this, But Compare to Boomer and Butch, Brick is the smartest one.

He may not be Booksmart level like Blossom but Brick is very good at reading people hence why he is the only who could tell that Blossom was being sarcastic in episode TBAIT, while Butch and Boomer took the hair comment as a compliment. He was angry because he is the only who could tell they didn't mean it. (Plus he remembered Boomer isn't afraid roaches.)

In the Octi, Episodes, Buttercup was trying to tell Blossom that her plan wasn't working and Blossom just straight up ignores her and suggested new plans. I honestly think Brick would be the opposite of that because there are moments where Brick genuinely compliments Boomer when he has good idea.(one was in bubble boy and the other is in one of the Action Pack comics) showing that Brick may not be as a commanding as he looks.

Bubbles/Boomer - (personality wise: Opposites) Like I said he is just as mean and Aggressive as Brick. And he isn't afraid to speak up. Even though it will get him hit by Brick. Yes, He is airhead but that doesn't mean he is sweet. (But he also gets picked on by his siblings)

Butch/Buttercup - (personality wise : Opposites) Butch is energetic and complains when he is bored. But, He isn't physically aggressive as Buttercup. Butch isn't Buttercup. He is just goofball, Who is more of a yesman to Brick who likes and enjoys the simple things in life. (If anything he is more of a go with flow type guy) . (And is also the second in command)

And that makes color code interesting. Both PPG and RRB are very different in terms of personality. But they have the same roles and experiences. That's the common ground.

They are on the same boat but with different flags.

(Also, I am not trying to convince OP otherwise. I just wanted to share my own opinion of them.

Tbh, When I rejoined the Fandom, I was surprised to find out that Blossick was the most popular. I always they thought they were the least popular XD)

i don’t like blossick

that ship is overrated

You know the only thing that would have made the Maddie betrayal scene even better? If Caitlyn had been allowed a come-back.

Maddie: "I did appreciate your warmth."

Caitlyn: "More than appreciate seeing as you were begging for me like a little bitch while gagging on my strap."

Sounds about right. 🤷‍♀️

CROWLEY SSR THOUGHTS

there is zero basis for this, but I can't get this thought of my head

I don't know why I decided to draw it this way

[saphofthehollow]

This is something the crows would do. HEAR ME OUT!! Like let's say Matthias is alive still, the crows are visiting Inej's family and the Ghafas are acrobats and performers, right? So one day after the Ghafas performed, the Crows decided to put on a show of their own.

Presenting

Kaz Brekker as the Defense Attorney (because he loves performing magic)

Inej Ghafa as Satan (because obviously she's the one who will disappear without a trace in front of a bazillion people)

Matthias Helvar as the Prosecutor

Jesper Fahey as the Judge

Nina Zenik and Wylan Van Eck are part of the audience.

I rest my case.

Everyone is standing around a broken caf maker.

Cid: So, who broke it? I’m not mad. I just want to know.

Omega: I did. I broke it.

Cid: No. No you didn’t. Muscles?

Wrecker: Don’t look at me! Look at Tech!

Tech: What?! I didn’t break it!

Wrecker: Huh. That’s weird. How’d you even know it was broken?

Tech: Because it’s sitting right in front of us, and it’s broken.

Wrecker: Suspicious.

Tech: No, it’s not!

Echo: If it matters, probably not, but Crosshair was the last one to use it.

Crosshair: Liar! I don’t even drink that crap.

Echo: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the caf cart earlier?

Crosshair: I like chewing on the stirrers, everyone knows that, Echo!

Omega: Okay, okay! Let’s not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, Cid.

Cid: No! Who broke it?!

Tech, quietly: Cid.... Hunter’s been awfully quiet.

Hunter: REALLY?!

Tech: YES, REALLY!

[ Everyone starts arguing ]

Cid, aside: I broke it. It burned my hand so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now they’ll be at each other’s throats with war paint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.

Cid: Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

Okay so I rewatched all of MD last night and I have to say. I might be going back on a previous post.

OKAY LISTEN, I AM EXTREMELY INTERESTED IN KHAN AND NORI'S PAST. So I payed a little extra attention last night and two quotes caught my eye:

Ep. 2: "Yes. On that 'kill all humans' kick like when I was younger! (...)"

Ep. 4: "After the core collapse... I didn't notice the collars. Only your mom being a catch."

So basically I had a theory for how Khan and Nori met, which was something along the lines of "he found her in a conference room while she was waiting to be interviewed post torture session probably fixing something and slowly but surely feelings were developed" but a big part of that was her telling Khan what she was doing in that room. Now I'm not saying it's impossible that she did, but if he "didn't notice the collars," did he know?? That she was experimented on??? Like again he wouldn't necessarily have to see the collar for her to tell him "hey they did some shit to me that would have made OSHA cry" but I'm just. I'm thinking about it. BECAUSE, because, I have a little theory that she must have broke one day and told him everything about what they were doing to her and THAT'S when Khan had his "kill all humans" kick. It certainly wouldn't be appropriate for him to have it AFTER the core collapse, would it? Genuinely - I know it could be said that he must have known about Earth and therefore even after the collapse he might have had Uzi's mindset of "they're still out there and they have to pay," but like,,,, what would have made him so bitter?

I'm not denying that ANY drone under JC Jenson's operating parameters probably hated them, but when we saw him Khan didn't even shoot the thing he had been fearing/hating for YEARS since Nori's death. I get the circumstances are a little different there, but I feel like it wouldn't be WRONG to assume that most of the time, he builds his way out of tough situations. So that leads me to ask again: if not for Nori telling him about all the Shit, why and when did he have a "kill all humans" phase?

Basically all this to say I'm going to choose to believe that my interpretation of them meeting is correct unless God himself (Liam Vickers) tells me otherwise and I'm also going to choose to believe that he knew she was an experiment, he just deadass never noticed her collar.

Which would be hilarious. Think about it:

Uzi: *is born*

Nori: Aww, look at you! Little mini me! *takes off collar* oh this is gonna look so cute on you when you have a real body-

Khan: ...What is that?

Nori: What's what?

Khan: That, that thing you took off your neck. When did you get that?

Nori:

Khan:

*It was at this moment Uzi decided she hated him* LMAO

I'm sure there's many reasonable explanations but I'm choosing to believe essek had to sleep for 8 hours when he previously only needed to trance for 4 bc he lost the habit of tracing after sleeping in a bed with Caleb for so long

What if CXS is actually really popular but, unbeknownst to him, LG ends up scaring them all away. Like, he just stands behind him looking like the most mentally unstable man they have ever seen and them flirting with CXS is about to be his last straw.
