#this is no excuse for his behaviour

“Have you ever, just for the tiniest moment, considered what you are doing?” “What do you mean, have I considered what I am doing? Of course I have!”
Fëanáro saw his wife glaring at him, looking back at her with equal anger. Of course he considered. Only nobody else ever did, judging by their behaviour and their apparent blindness to what was going on around them.
“Then explain to me, please, why you are prepared to tear our family apart, and your people. You. Are. King, Fëanáro!”
He scoffed.
“Do you think I don’t know that? And I’m doing what a king is supposed to do, I lead my people to safety…”
“To safety?” Nerdanel cut across him, with an incredulous look on her face. “No, lord. You’re leading them to their doom, away from safety, undoing all the work your father…”
“Atar was fooled. He was fooled and brainwashed and…”
“Brainwashed? Brainwashed? Are you out of your mind?”
Sentences were randomly finished when they were rowing, and the fact faintly amused Fëanáro. He laughed.
“Yes, you are mad. You must be, because you laugh in a situation such as this! You are tearing our marriage apart. You are murdering our children, you…”
“I? No, Nerdanel, you do that. You are the one to betray me and my sons, you decided to side with the murderers of Atar, your King, Nerdanel!”
She took a few steadying breaths, and when she spoke again, her voice was calm, which made Fëanáro hope that she might be prepared to see sense now. A hope that was swiftly destroyed.
“The Valar did not murder your father! Morgoth did. They kept us safe…”
“They wanted us as their pets. Eru knows I loved my father, but he was weak in that point. Shortsighted. Unable to see through their lies…”
“No!” Nerdanel screamed now, looked deranged. “You idiot! You are the one to believe the lies! Your father saw sense! At least until he started listening to you and valuing gems more than family!”
“Don’t you dare…”
“Dare what? Tell you the truth?”
Fëanáro reached up into his hair, tearing at it. How could Nerdanel be so stupid? He had always thought her quick-witted, but apparently, he had been mistaken. Or she was just as brainwashed by the Valar as all the rest of them were. Did she not see? That they had lured the Eldar into coming to Aman? Robbed them of their native lands? Probably so that Morgoth could have them, he thought derisively. Oh, what a clever plan that had been, taking three boys and showing them Valinor. And like children offered sweets, they had gone back and persuaded the rest to follow, that dim-witted bunch. Oh, how they irked him with their imprecision. They had no sense for subtlety, no pride in their heritage, no desire to challenge themselves each day anew. They were lazy, lulled in by the Valar. But that was over now, he, Fëanaro, would see to that.
“You are talking nonsense!” he stated coldly.
At this, Nerdanel reached out to him, grabbing the front of his robes. He pushed her off him.
“Don’t touch me!” He snarled, yet he had overdone it, had actually pushed her to the floor. He hadn’t meant that, but then, she knew perfectly well that he didn’t like to be touched unasked. It took him a moment to realise that she was crying, which confused him. He couldn’t possibly have hurt her that much?
“Our sons, Fëanáro, our children… please let them remain here, where it is safe.” Nerdanel sobbed. “Oh, I beg you, leave at least the twins. They are so young, they still need a home…”
He only snorted.
“You, Nerdanel, chose to desert them, not I!”
And with that, he turned, never to look back. (There again, being autistic is no excuse for being an arsehole, which Fëanor is at that time)
#all of arda is autistic#april is autism-awareness-month#fëanor#nerdanel#theory of mind#autistic perfectionism#he just doesn't see at that moment that there might be other points of view#emotional blindness#co-morbid asd and adhd#sometimes they balance each other out#not in this case#this is no excuse for his behaviour#viewing everything either black or white#no greys

I'm tired of people reducing the conflict in atsv to miguel "beefing with a kid" as if he doesn't believe entire universes will collapse if he doesn't stop miles
#I'm not excusing his behaviour but it's not like he's fighting over something minor and petty#it doesn't matter how old miles is or even if it is miles because he'd be acting this way if anyone was doing the same thing as miles#he truly believes miles is going to destroy his universe it's not a personal thing where he just doesn't like miles as a person like??#atsv#miguel o'hara#miles morales

You know what I think is wasted potential? Gwaine and Lancelot being a comedic duo. Think about it, they're in so many ways opposite but they have the same core of loyalty and courage.
Lancelot's chivalry and goodie two shoes behaviour and Gwaine's disrespect and drinking on the job. 🤝
#Gwaine would probably do something like jokingly steal smth from Arthur or drink on the job#and Lancelot will be like “my lord excuse his behaviour#and gwaine will be like “Lancelot stop sucking up to the princess”#and Lancelot will double down because he is truly and honestly so proper and chivalrous.#And gwaine will double down and make a bigger mess since he's so purely chaotic and doesn't support the monarchy.#Just the.... Back and forth between them has so much potential#merlin#merlin bbc#bbc merlin#gwaine bbc#lancelot#merthur

It's easy to get the impression that Tetsuji never cared enough to rein in Riko's behaviour and temper but I think it's the opposite. I think Riko grew up constantly being told stuff like, "You have to learn to control your temper" and, "Is that any way to behave?" by Tetsuji. I think Tetsuji would have even disciplined him harshly every time he was caught acting out of anger. But all that is coming from Tetsuji - the man who would beat a kid if they displeased him in any way. How can you ever really take to heart the words of someone who demonstrates the exact opposite of what they preach? How are you supposed to not learn that the real lesson is, "Become the one who has all the power over everyone else and you will never have to suffer criticism for how you behave ever again."
#you cannot tell me that tetsuji isn't every bit as angry and violent as riko#he's just better at hiding it because he directs it at people who can't speak up about it or do anything about it#this is the sort of thing i mean when i say riko is a product of his environment#being treated a certain way reinforces certain behaviour patterns#sometimes those behaviour patterns just feed into a bad cycle which continues to reinforce them#it's not an excuse but it is an explanation#i don't know why i'm even saying this because i actually quite like riko as a character who's an awful person#i like him specifically because he's awful in an interesting way and i wouldn't want it any other way#aftg#riko moriyama#i feel like i could write essays about how riko#despite being a seemingly over the top evil villain actually does a good job of showing some of the worst responses to trauma and#how he reflects the worst that we can realistically become

Idk about anyone else but Sirius, Regulus, and Walburga having a complicated relationship just hits so hard for me
It's Sirius cutting them out of his life but missing the familiarity of Grimmauld's layout. It's Sirius hating them with all his being but still wondering what they think of him. It's Sirius always wishing for any sign of change.
It's Regulus always, always wanting Sirius and Walburga to get along but hating when they do and he's relegated to the background. It's Regulus hating Sirius but being willing to take him back without even a hint that he's going to stay. It's Regulus loving his mother no matter what.
And it's Walburga too, it's her loving her children— the one who shames her by pulling away and the one too weak to do more than follow. It's her loving them despite the shame it would bring on her if anyone knew, and that's why she'll never show it
#i have so many feelings about them#they're complicated and messy and they love and hate each other so much#and love is not an excuse for shitty behaviour but sometimes you really want it to be#and i think that's where regulus lies when it comes to his family#idk#family is complicated and sometimes you need to project#the black family#regulus and walburga#sirius and walburga#the black brothers#sirius and regulus#sirius black#regulus black#walburga black

Bi-Han headcanons from the top layer of my brain
He's just my little guy, a little rough but he's basically harmless
Cannot cook (freestyle wise), BUT he can chop like nobody’s business and he can also be very thorough because of his perfectionist tendencies so if you give him a recipe you will have an edible meal
Not a huge inside pet person, but I think if you were to bring in a pet he wouldn’t be opposed to it, he just doesn’t see any reason to engage with the pet
You don’t go shopping together very often as most of the supplies come in bulk month by month or for dairy, weekly. He likes to accompany you when you go which is why he schedules a day off, finds visiting town useful to understand how everything is working in the area and if there are any local threats
Most meals he eats alone or with his brothers, because of a tight self-imposed schedule but once he has a partner, he makes an effort to have at least one proper meal which usually ends up being dinner, especially if they aren’t a morning person
As I’ve mentioned here, I’m not entirely sure these guys have a meticulous hair care routine but if their partner offers, Bi-han would have no problem letting them handle his hair (you have to build up to that because of this post)
If his partner is free for the day, and he is just doing paperwork or sitting somewhere, he would like to have them nearby, if you read to him or talk his ear off it makes him feel good because he has issues
Issues include not having enough quality time with family and he realizes how lonely it’s made him even if he tried to hide it so he makes up for it in subtle ways like eating with his partner or just having their presence a few feet apart
I don’t think he would like to shower together, I think showers are very standard for him to simply get clean and exit and by having another person it takes more time so…solo showers…unless…
Slow writer, he likes his writing, for official documents at least, to be legible and pristine so he takes his sweet time writing. Sektor got him a computer but he didn’t like that so they compromised on a typewriter and Bi-han built speed and now writing documents doesn’t take five million years
He has a GREAT memory, not photogenic but damn near close, however, you best hope you don’t do something offensive to him, he can forgive but he’ll never forget
His bun is too tight, and he gets headaches but refuses to change up the style because it's the only one that gets the job done (if it’s really bad you might just catch him with his hair down in his office, near the end of the day whilst he meditates or trains)
*You know that scene from Modern Family when Jay gets Gloria fluffy slippers and she becomes nice, yeah that’s Bi-han, he’s a bit more mellow and pleasant to be around when his hair is down which is…not a lot but still*
If you guys like these, should I write headcanons for someone other than Bi-Han...?
#mortal kombat#mk1#bi-han#mortal kombat 1#lin kuei#Trying to think of original headcanons that aren't a pawn off of another person is hard because too cold/mean and he's not even a person#Please excuse his behaviour#he had a rough upbringing : (

Majority of the fandom likes Zoya over Alina and I don't know why.
Nikolai's duology has certainly made her popular. Most people nowadays love bitchy characters with a tragic past and a happy ending so Zoya ticks their boxes.
📝 She can turn into a dragon and has so many new cool powers so she's a badass.
📝 She is a bitch but she has a "good" reason to be.
📝 She has fallen in love with Nikolai (another popular character).
📝 She has a tear-jerking past (which is always endearing)
In a summary, fandoms and media never change, dear anon.
#anti zoya nazyalensky#anon asks#my own opinion is that this is a very cowardly way to create a character#why give her a tragic childhood? why can't she be a bitch from birth?#let some characters be bastards without any real cause for it#and don't put tragic pasts to bitchy characters so you can excuse their behaviour jesus....#instead use it to develop the character. his decisions and his actions#alina starkov#shadow and bone#grishaverse#anti leigh bardugo#anti nikolai duology

we accept the love we think we deserve or whatever Stephen Chbosky said
#how do you spell doormat again#imagine being born to be used. that's human weapon behaviour. that's more-of-a-possession-than-a-person behaviour.#owari no seraph#seraph of the end#shinya hiiragi#although actually none of this was ever mentioned and i'm just interpreting the saddest possible thing into every little fact i see#still. shinoa and shinya deserved none of this#ok but ''i guess being used by mahiru wasn't enough for you'' HELLO?? EXCUSE ME????#the disrespect#also i have no clue what kureto could have possibly meant by that like mahiru literally called shinya useless to his face#what did she use him for?? playing dress up??????

I am currently thinking about how House regularly uses himself as a scapegoat so he can help other people. Like with Foreman and his brother, House purposefully brought up their mother because he knew that it would spark outrage. He knew they would be mad at him. He wanted them to be mad at him so they could reconcile. House is so used to upsetting people. He's so used to being yelled at, hit, and insulted. He regularly seeks out those responses, so doing something that causes people to treat him that way is easy. He has created this persona that doesn't care about anything and will do anything to upset people without provocation or reason.
If he didn't care about Foreman enough to want to help him reconcile with his brother, I do not believe he would have ever brought up their mother. He understood how personal that was, and there would have been no reason. I don't think House likes having people hate him, I don't think he likes being yelled at or upsetting people. I think he just doesn't know how to be any other way. Hurting people, at his own expense, comes naturally. He will play the bad guy over and over again to help the people he cares about. But because he puts himself in that position to be their scapegoat, people don't recognize what he's doing. He's being kind, in his own fucked up way. And I don't think anyone except for Wilson and sometimes Cuddy recognize it.
#obviously this doesnt excuse his bad behaviour#and he does regularly lash out and says/does bad things#but i think for the most part#he has a reason#not always but a lot#i hope this makes sense#maybe not#im just rambling#house md#house#hilson#james wilson#greg house#gregory house#dr house

I’m not any of the anons from before but as a fellow kazuichi fan I’d personally love to hear you talk about why you like him if you feel like it! personally I was first drawn to his character design, I just thought he looked cool, and then the second he opened his mouth and revealed himself as a loser, I loved him like ten times more lol. I know some people think he’s ‘creepy’ but I feel like he keeps enough a distance from Sonia that he’s just a guy with a crush, and also his “don’t you ever just wanna take girls apart and see how their bones work” line lives in my head rent free
Ok well. Sorry dude (genuinely) but I dont think I think of him the way a lotta ppl do. Heres my take sorry if it ruins it
First of all, do I LIKE his character? No. I like what could become of it if handled well, in the future (same with Akane and Sonia and... a lotta characters tbh).
I dont want to gloss over that he was really not cool with Sonia. I DON'T think it was like, a simple silly crush like any other dude would have, I think he WAS inappropriate about it and (most likely completely unbeknownst to him) enforcing things that she genuinely could not stand. He was insecure and took it out on others as well as himself.
These are all character flaws. Every single character has them (some more than others). Fuyuhiko was genuinely a dick (as I have said many times, having anger issues isnt an excuse for the way he talks sometimes), Hiyoko is a bully, Ibuki is insensitive when se gets caught up, Impostor is condescending sometimes, etc. Kazuichi isnt the only one to be a jackass sometimes and t deny it is to deny his character, just as much as reducing him to only that is oversimplifying it.
What I like about Kazuichi is: the design.
(Ok jk but I do enjoy the design a lot)
I like the teenage insecurity. He thinks he wants to be a chick magnet, but gets scared when girls show an interest in him. His ideal woman is basically a barbie doll. He's a little too eager to see his boy bestie naked. He was so excited for a class retreat because he's never had one before. He was so desperate to be cool and tough and not a nerd that he drastically (and no doubt painfully, ow, TEETH) changed his appearance to conform to his Ideal Self, but could not actually change his personality.
He's basically a teenage boy, warts and acne at all, trying so hard to be The That Guy but spectacularly failing. He's actually somewhat of a genius (and the Death Trap stuff hints to him having a lot of repressed turmoil which honestly so true, teenagers whose only outlet is fantasizing about the gory demise of their tormentors, SO TRUE) but he can't SEE that because he wants to be some kind of cool punk frat bro dude. He's so busy living up to some idealized version of himself that he fumbles who he actually is, which if he just took a moment, would be a pretty cool dude. Basically, did you ever discover a cool band and tried to model your entire personality after what you thought those vibes would be? That, but sad.
So yeah, I think he's great at comedic beats, and also has a lot of heart underneath it, but has never been in a place where he can just accept that and let it shine. His last words were basically "here I am, don't forget me!" which like, man, isnt that just relatable teenagerism?
#I dont like how many ppl excuse his behaviour towards Sonia like. It wasnt malicious but it was really insensitive. As a reader who doent-#-know his inner mechanisms it was uncomfortable (you can hc him whatever u want but I'm speaking from just memory no hc).#He made a lot of awkward fumbles and missteps as did a lot of the characters. But to me hes just such a teenage dude#With all the insecurities and sexuality crisis and trying to impress in an environment where he has a chance to (as opposed to.. home.)#not an art#Sorry anon I disagree with you. But u did prompt me to actually talk about this so thanks!

Roman and the dog cage thing and then that conversation between Shiv and their mum thats like "well you could’ve had dogs" “no not with ur father, he never saw anything he loved that he didn’t want to kick it just to see if it would still come back" and romans constant need to prove himself to his father above everything else and in the end nearly always backing him and folding whenever he ever did something remotely nice. and then people always gaslighting him saying 'well you wanted it' (like the whole military school + dog cage thing) whatever and making him LITERALLY THINK HE DESERVED EVERYTHING!!
then there's the whole thing with the walmart shirt which is literally just showing how everyone always reduces him to being the 'baby' of the family. when he cried at the funeral and then kendall basically said 'nah he's not fit to be ceo because he's too immature and breaks down and can't handle pressure'. like babes. honey. that was your dads funeral. sorry if your a stone cold bitch with other very glaring mental health issues but it doesn't mean other people can't express their emotions. and then theres everyone making fun of him for being 'sexually stunted'. basically making him the baby of the family and saying he cant sit at the adult table when he's probably - trauma aside - more capable then anyone else in the family. like yeah. hes a bitch who either completely hides his emotions or cannot help but lay everything on the table and he does everything to prove that he's better to his father and that he can sit at the adult table actually. but like, also. y'all make fun of him every time he's the slightest bit vulnerable. how to you expect him to be able to regulate his emotions when you WONT LET HIM HAVE THEM.
anyway point is hes literally just trying to be loved everything he does is to prove himself to his father and all his shitty fucking choices can probably be linked back to that fact. he's kinda just morally fucked up. like who cares if this is good or bad - will my father love me?
#sorry for the shit grammar and all round incomprehensibility#its 1am and i just finished season 4#this isn't like an excuse for his behaviour btw#its just reasons for why it happened#he's still a bitch he just has reasons for it#roman roy#kieran culkin#succession hbo#succession
