eric foreman is representation for deeply repressed weirdos who are clinging to normalcy with splintered nails and blistered palms. representation for people who lost something fundamental along the way. for people who want to go home, to be the person they thought they were. representation for people who canāt face what theyāve become because itās who theyāve always been
#foreman one of the most queercoded characters. i stand by that#my source for that is im queer and i relate to him#inspired by the super hot girl who sits next to me in class who called me normal today. i came a little when she said that to me ngl#foreman just wants to believe that hes a good person but he ISNT. and he never will be#because the way he defines āgoodnessā isnt attainable for him#tragic ass character#eric foreman#house md#foreman

Ice king is a really good character because they intoduce him and you're like "haha what a freak what's wrong with him" and then the show goes "oh! You want to know? Let me show you :)" and you end up just sitting there like

This really was the moment when we knew Kassandra was the best girl around tho
#Kassandra is introduced and is looking all wistful and majestic#then someone yells at her and calls her a shit face and she gets punched in the nose#in the most cartoonish way possible that makes it clear she is in fact a shit face#and then we get to know her noble background and tragic backstory#and then sheās stealing a manās prosthetic eye and shoving it up a goats ass#the most compelling character in all of literature#Kassandra#assassinās creed odyssey

āI hate Liliana sheās a bad motherā broke
āLiliana is a tragic character who, in her desire to save herself and her daughter from falling victim to the strange powers and ostracization that has plagued her for her entire life, instead fell victim to a cult with a manipulative leader who has spent decades grooming her into a weapon and making her think sheās more important than she actually is. She is fully entrenched in shit she wholeheartedly believes and adamantly looks away from any evidence used to poke holes in her logic. She still thinks sheās doing this for her daughter but is in too deep to realize how much worse sheās actually made things for her daughter. The last 20+ years have been her labor of love to Imogen thatās been twisted into something that she canāt even see. She thinks sheās helping. She thinks sheās doing good. She loves Imogen so much and doesnāt even know sheās going about everything in entirely the wrong way, and her refusal to look at the facts and question the manipulative authority of Ludinus looming over her, is only furthering the rift between her and Imogen and will ultimately lead to her downfall. She thinks sheās the hero of the story, and thatās what makes her such a tragic characterā woke
#sorry iām just tired of the basic ass takes on liliana#sheās such a fascinating character and sooo tragic and i love it so much#critical role#cr spoilers#liliana temult#imogen temult

honestly, one of my biggest gripes with c3 is that at multiple junctures it felt like it was very likely to develop a more tragic narrative and, with the exception of FCG's death (which was a unique situation for more than one reason) it has not once actually followed through on being tragic. like, this is particularly about laudna's story getting tied up in a little bow and her and imogen's breakup lasting approximately 24 hours in-game. but because it's felt like every (juicy and potentially highly rewarding) tragic narrative thread has been undercut or cut short so far, i find myself looking forward to the next episode with a sort of trepidation that this will happen again. there is immense earned and interesting tragic potential to imogen being possessed by predathos. but at this point, i really do lack faith that the story will follow through, and i'll be left feeling unsatisfied by a pulled punch yet again
#potentially tragic narrative stop teasing me. stop teasing me potentially tragic narrative#give me (tragedy enjoyer) the tragedy i've been craving for so long#man this even goes back to the og otohan fight like maybe laudna should have stayed dead. maybe that was narratively healthy#those two characters in particular (imogen and laudna) have been circling the concept of tragedy the entire campaign#just dipping their toes occasionally to tease my ass and then not actually giving me anything to work with#cr spoilers#cr tag

we donāt acknowledge enough how dee used to be a pageant winner when she was a kid and how much damage it did to her. she worked her ass off and got recognition for being pretty and talented at a young age and it was the only source of self esteem she could garner in a family that constantly berated and talked down to her. she sought after that external approval because it was the only way she could prove everyone around her wrong. her dream of being a performer didnāt come from a self-aggrandizing delusionā she genuinely showed a lot of potential when she was younger. but she went through an unflattering puberty and her spinal condition got worse and that natural talent she had as a kid plateaued way too early. the āformer gifted kidā dilemma. she slowly lost the thing that promised her that she was good, but she was so desperate to keep holding onto it that she tried anyway. again and again and again no matter how much people made fun of her because it was always about proving them wrong. but after a while she couldnāt jump anymore without anticipating the way it feels when she hits the ground face first. self-sabotage became her way out, choosing to rather live in the fantasy of her own unrealized potential and blaming those around her for her lack of success, than having tried and crashed again. sheād rather buy lottery tickets over and over and never scratch off the numbers than to see that she lost. that self-sabotaging behavior bled into other aspects of her life too, from friendships to relationships to therapy. her own short lived success is what made her grow into embodying the cycle of failure.
#iasip#dee reynolds#oh deandra#someone tell her sheās good#this may very well be a diary entry vaguely disguised as character analysis but lets move past that#also doesnāt not help at all that im going through my own dennis and dee go on welfare unemployment plotline irl#BUT LETS MOVE PAST THAT#sheās such a fascinating character i really hope they explore her more in s17 bc sheās been like. a side character for the past few seasons#another thing i regret not telling charlie when i had the chance ugh#i wanted to be lighthearted and complain about the promo pics being ugly but when i opened with ā#ācan i air out some grievancesā he was so open to it and actually seemed kind of disappointed that i WASNT talking about the writing#and it was like. in no universe could i have possibly been prepared to have an in depth convo ab the show with him at that loud ass bar#or like. expected him to be open to WRITING CRITICISM of all things#thereās so much i could have aired out. So much. but alas#what was i talking about#oh dee#anyways yes dee my sweet dee i love her my stupid tragic middle aged girlfailure my wifr#wife#i love you

the peoples princess!
@notsolonedesert ur lovely ctimene has graced my lecture notes <3!! no references we die like my final braincells lol
her sarcasm knows no bounds and odysseus' famous wits have ocassionally paled in comparison to his sisters many a time ;)
sassy lil sister ctimene please and thank you. also stubborn af. idk i need more of them being siblings and and how they grew alongside one another and now tease eachother over meals and reminisce during cold winter evenings childhood shenanigans and laugh boisterously together (they have the same laugh. and a dad sneeze TM) and how they reacted to each others firstborns and and and
#u cant convince me she doesnt have a merida esque origin story where she had a favourite horse#loathes being confined to her potential as a wife instead of being seen as her own person. age typical sexism essentially#(not by ody or pen or eury ofc. never ever)#maybe she has a complicated relationship with her mother whose to say. love me a sprinkle of tragic parent and child#anyway one feature film length of character development later#she finds middle ground between accepting and fulfilling duties but not compromising on her own interests and needs#idk she trains the young women of ithaca. let her be ares' blorbo. let my girl kick ass#she definately bonds with penelope athletically#pen always wins swimming lol and is very agile but cti is unmatched in brute force and stamina#hc she protected penelope from the suitors. she didnt bring attention to the either of them but should the need ever arise#shes bitch slapping all 108 of them#eury would be proud#ctimene#epic the musical#my art

#[šŖā rheya talks. š]#itās so much worse than i thought itād be#plus it explains so much more than the main story did#i wish haters would read the myth before saying all their crap#but yeah ā¦#iām so so curious what the two of them went through when they were kids#and mc being just as crazy about him is soooo delicious#she went on and on about not wanting him to ever leave her side and doing whatever it takes to keep him with her#and then her not telling him that she didnāt lose her memories???#OH ITS GONNA BE SOOO GOOD#really need to kick that professor guy for trying to make my man a whole ass weapon fuck you dude#but yeah that explains why calebās so possessive in the first place#like fr sheās the only thing heās ever known and found safety in#and clearly whatever that chip is doing is fucking him up even more#he is quite literally broken and i love that they added a character like that#UGH#my emotions were all over the place while going through#when mc was trying to keep him in her ādreamā but couldnāt and then they shared that secret kiss#and when caleb saw the mc from his childhood and dropped the banger of a line that is#i love you a little more than you realize#oh iām gonna hurl wtf#the only myth to ever fuck with me like this#zayne got me close to crying bc he was just so tragic#but caleb is ANGST and thereās a difference in both of them#ugh iāll never recover guys#lnds caleb#love and deepspace#love and deepspace caleb

I cannot wait to hear conversations between Szeth and Kaladin. I just canāt imagine that Szeth has any thoughts. I truly think his inner world is radio silence, only occasionally interrupted by moral existentialism. He is a human pipe screen saver to me, and Dalinar talking to him is the equivalent of moving the mouse
#szeth son son vallano#stormlight archive#kaladin stormblessed#I really just think heās so silly like truly could be a tragic character#but I just canāt take someone who decides to take orders from an actual regular ass rock for years seriously#oathstone my ass you found that on the beach#do kids these days know what screensaver Iām talking about

"you turned on a show about a tragedy why are you surprised and angry that the tragedy happened?"
well turning it on i was kinda expecting a tragedy to happen to the characters and not to the show itself, my bad
idk maybe i'm living on the whole other side of the internet and there're actually people out there who didn't like s2 cause of lack of happy endings, but as for now i saw way more complaints about so called "tragedy" feeling just cheap and shallow. if even talking about the "tragic" side of the s2 honestly
and what's so tragic about forgiving everyone around you anyway?
to be honest, if to think about it, i see no actual tragedy in s2. s1 was tragic, it was tragic all the way through it, in every episode, it was misfortune everywhere and noone won in the end, in slightest. s2? everyone kinda won, just with minor inconveniences
am i just yapping at this point? probably
but honestly, i was waiting for the s2 for three years cause i expected and WANTED it to HURT me. after how brutally s1 beated the shit out of me emotionally and mentally, i was really looking forward for the s2 to double down on that. and than it just bitch slapped me? not even with a full force? and managed to even miss my face and just slapped my shoulder? the only thing that hurt is how emotionless was the whole experience
whatever. there will always be s1 to do the job
#arcane critical#it wouldn't feel as bad if s1 wasn't so good#there're like TONS of shows i really enjoy that i feel like way worse than acrane in writing and stuff#but those shows are honest from their start on how they're gonna be#s2 was good compared to every other generic show with generic tropes and themes and ideas and conflict resolving ways#but s2 has no business being a sequel to s1#and it only goes for writing#literally every other aspect of the s2 is still spectacular#writing sucks ass and it has noting to do with tragedy#tragedy supposed to be tragic and not just a jumpscare for the purpose of robbing characters off good things in their life

itās been hit after hit for Tomura stans!
most of this final battle, heās not even himself. heās fused with an abuser, heās fighting alone, and he has no idea where his comrades are. THEN the absolute worst of his backstory is revealed, AND THEN he gets no time to react to this bombshell before getting obliterated on his BIRTHDAY!
THEN his body gets taken over for the 100th TIME!!! and his final moments are spent in a vestige world, where he doesnāt confront his groomer, doesnāt get to speak to his grandma, manages one punch to AFO, and then he dies.
#LIKE WHAT is the point of all this#tragic ass character man š with the most unsatisfying ending#I was accepting of his death anyway!! I just hoped it would be executed better ??#mha#my hero academia#tomura shigaraki#shigaraki#tenko shimura#pers#I miss him already

Agony ghost Bloodmoon. They torment the hell out of the bastard, and hang around Solar sometimes. But mostly stick around Ruin, staring at him, messing with his things, throwing stuff at him, and generally making his life miserable (as it should be)
