I'm watching Sex and the City for the first time and there is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, likeable about this Carrie character. What a raging self absorbed douchebag.
And wtf is that dumbass Mr Big/ Aiden storyline? Also, Mr Big fkn sucks sweaty balls, the man has no good qualities.. so maybe they deserve each other. Ew
I had to suffer through her dumb storylines in order to see more of the other girls.
Carrie sucks, and you cant change my mind.

TV Characters Who I Can’t Stand 📺
Piper Hart
“She is such a rude spoiled brat and she is so disrespectful to her parents and everyone she meets. She literally gets under my skin so I don’t watch Henry Danger she is the reason why I stopped watching it, I want to break my tv screen everytime I see her. I can’t stand her and spoiled children just in general and she literally makes me want to pick up a heavy object and throw it at my tv screen I am dead serious and she makes me absolutely sick I swear to God! I hate her so much! She gives me a headache.”😡
Abby
“She is mean to everyone in dance moms I am a fan of the show but I don’t care for her harsh nature I understand she wants the best for her dance team and wants them to be stronger dancers and successful but it just hurts me to see her dancers cry. I know that sometimes the truth hurts but it’s okay to be a little sensitive sometimes and to show that you care for others.”
Mike Wheeler
“I could not stand the way that he treated El especially in season 1, whenever she would make mistakes and the episode where she accidentally injured Lucas and knocking him unconscious with her powers he immediately resorted to shouting at her and yelled “what is wrong with you?!” I won’t ever forgive that, she only wanted Lucas and Mike to stop fighting and was only trying to protect him from encase Lucas tried to hurt Mike and he should’ve been thanking her. Also when El stood up for herself and struck Angela in the face he then got mad at El as if it was HER fault like she shouldn’t have done anything to defend herself and told her that she was being ridiculous for telling him how she felt when El felt hurt that Mike didn’t tell her that he loved her back, and he only waited until the last moment when Vecna attempted to kill El that’s when he finally confessed. I just couldn’t stand him in the series period.” 😠
Spike The Bulldog
“Spike is nothing but a big bully of a dog who bullies Tom and hurts and abuses him every chance he gets especially his son Tyke and I can’t stand him either. Especially when Tom is just minding his own business most of the time and it’s Jerry’s fault and it’s his antics that cause Tom to get in trouble with Spike. If it weren’t for Jerry and his antics then maybe just maybe Spike wouldn’t find a reason to be such a hateful jerk to Tom and it would be even more nice if they became friends and I just want to turn my tv off everytime I see Spike’s face. I can’t stand how pretty much every character gangs up on Tom and it’s not fair, and for what? He does nothing wrong it’s all Jerry’s fault and I can’t stand how all of the characters take Jerry’s side when we all know good and well he is a liar and creates trouble for Tom.”😠😡
Sam Puckett
“The worst character ever in iCarly, she is a selfish bully and is mean to pretty much everyone she meets including Freddie and she is verbally abusive towards him and sometimes physically he is crazy for even dating her and she is violent and unbearably mean and aggressive to people and I can’t stand it and no wonder she ended up in juvie and in my opinion she belongs there and I’m not sure why her parole officer or whoever did let her out and they are just as crazy. She always eats people’s food and her behavior gets even worse in Sam and Cat I remember she ate all of Cat’s meatballs that she made for everyone and she ate all of Galini’s pie that Sam and her friends were going to share and all of the pepperonis on the pizza that Carly bought, how selfish do you have to be to do things like this? she just makes me roll my eyes and shake my head she just makes me angry and I just want to change the channel everytime I see her that’s all I have to say.”
Benson
Oh don’t even get me started on him, he seriously belongs in an asylum somewhere with his anger issues and he is such a jerk to not only Mordecai and Rigby but also to the other characters too like Muscle Man and I remember one episode where Mordecai and Rigby wanted a sandwich from the food truck and Benson snatched them out of their hands and ate them and told them to get back to work, so despise Benson so much, if he were nice well, I would change my mind and like him just a bit, I get angry too but he is not only rude to Mordecai and Rigby but also verbally abusive and the worst boss, I would be ashamed to work for him. I know Benson is a fictional character but still he angers me very much and he reminds me so much of people in my life who I have and currently had to currently deal with he is the definition of bad energy and bad vibes who would want to be around someone who constantly shouts and belittles you? Not me. Don’t get me wrong some scenes of Benson angry are hilarious but most of them he is unnecessarily mean to Mordecai and Rigby and there is no reason for it.”
Thanks for reading this rant that I wrote and I hope everyone understands where I am coming from

Sometimes I have to remind myself that it's okay to enjoy media with unlikeable or downright evil main characters. Just because their story is good doesn't mean you approve of the characters' actions.

Unlikeable Vs. Poorly Written: A character analysis
March 5, 2024 A main character’s first job is to be interesting. They don’t need to be likable, or even good, for this to be the case. A character can do bad things and still be compelling or intriguing to read about. Often, a bad person can set up a really interesting character arc in which they grow and learn to be good. It’s why we like Zuko, and most well-written villains in general.…

Given that you're the de facto person who comes to mind when the Odyssey is mentioned...thought you should know Christopher Nolan is doing an adaptation
I'm just kind of giggling about it to be honest. Like Nolan is great I'm sure, I've heard lots about his movies. But the idea of Tom Holland possibly being like Telemachus or something (god forbid Odysseus) is so funny. Who's playing Odysseus here? Matt Damon? Robert Pattinson?? I think Pattinson should be able to do whatever he wants
#wolfy tedtalks#im like apprehensive of it but theres little they can really do about anything#the odyssey scene at the moment is Saturated with adaptions so its unlikely itll make too much of an impact#but i dont run in those circles (film) so i may be wrong#i hope tom holland is elpenor#my biggest wish is all the big names are random side characters that get killed off#i hope pattinson is either polyphemus or a random suitor

The Narrator's perspective only gets more horrifying the longer you think about it. Like, imagine being an Echo of yourself—one of many, all made to serve a very particular purpose and knowingly living on borrowed time, if 'living' is even the right word for your current state of pseudo-existence.
You've inherited the mission of a dead man—it's literally the only thing left that you can do before fading, so you sure as hell better believe in it; the alternative would be unbearable. Only you keep failing. With every loop that you don't remember, your lack of agency in this situation becomes starker—you can influence small things, sure, but it becomes increasingly clear that you have no real power, no matter how personally invested you are in the events unfolding in front of you. You are, after all, only an Echo. You've forfeited the right to meaningfully engage with the world.
Worse—every loop you're made aware of is another time you've failed, with unimaginable consequences, though you had no control over these previous iterations of yourself and can't even learn from their mistakes. Everyone around you is operating on a shared perception of reality that you are not part of, will never be part of. After a few repetitions, you are, ironically, the least informed person in the room. All you have left to go on is an evidently outdated script. At the same time, everyone else is experiencing a contiguous version of you, comprised of parts that are, in some sense, also you, while at the same time existing at a complete remove from your current perception of self. Whatever you don't know you did—that's you now. You are, after all, only an Echo. You've forfeited the right to define your own identity, never mind know what it is.
Even worse—this has trapped you within a stagnant hell of your own creation. Nothing you say or do really matters in terms of your own self (the rest of the world is a separate issue entirely). Anything you've come to believe—say, for totally hypothetical example, that you were wrong actually and your envisioned paradise is really a hell beyond any you had the capacity to envision—has about as much permanence as a drawing in the sand. 'You' will continue, exactly as you were, no matter how much you might like to change your behavior. Every possible future has already been set in stone. You are, after all, only an Echo. You've forfeited the right to say anything you haven't already said.
For some reason, no part of any of this has made you feel more comfortable and at peace with the general concept of finality.
The really, truly absolute worst part, though?
There is no one for you to blame but yourself. And that's exactly what turns your story into such a tragedy.
#slay the princess#meta#my meta#slay the princess narrator#stp narrator#stp echo#for the love of god WHAT is his character tag this is a travesty#narrator sweep#natterings#stp posting#this was written as part of another much longer piece of enthusiastic narrator meta#like with screenshots and everything#but this was too good and self-contained NOT to post#in case of the very likely event where i dont finish the full thing#because unlike him i do recognize when im flirting with my own hubris#not that it ever stops me#anyway ask me about the narrator and why hes the most interesting character in stp#who is UNDERAPPRECIATED-- i mean uh#surprisingly overlooked#please there is so much that i could say

Story Idea
Telekinetic supervillain who REALLY loves historical architecture. Living in a superhero universe where heroes keep crashing through stained glass windows and leveling entire streets. As well as the normal corruption causing building to be demolished or “restored” in extremely destructive ways.
Kinda has Poison Ivy vibes, without any of the femme fatale trappings - her entire focus is preserving historical valuable buildings, and she doesn’t really care if humans that get in the way die. But she also isn’t going out of her way to kill people.
And the leader of the local superhero team can see where she’s coming from. And decides that just throwing her in jail every time she acts up is a sign they’re failing in their duty to protect the city. Instead, he starts trying to gain her trust. He doesn’t care that much about buildings, but he works on lessening his team’s collateral damage. He promises the supervillain that he’ll try to pressure the city government if she brings problems to him rather than taking them into her own hands. Eventually, he convinces her that she can protect the city’s infrastructure better by being on his team than she can on her own.
She’s incredibly helpful! She will keep burning buildings from collapsing until everyone can get out and the fire is extinguished. She’ll hold skyscrapers up while supervillains reign destruction down around them. She’ll deconstruct traps and grumpily direct her teammates towards the hidden mastermind who set them up. And when the crisis is over, she’ll see what can be salvaged and rebuild it if possible.
But she’s a PR nightmare.
Former Supervillain refuses to help people. She DOES NOT care. Your kid is trapped in the burning building? That is not her problem. Go bother someone else. Dude is holding a bunch of people hostage? It’s fine, he’s not causing any damage to the building he’s in.
People DO NOT like this attitude. People do not accept that she’s part of a team, and other heroes are capable of filling the “empathy” and “human rescuing” gaps.
And she’s high maintenance! The team frequently end up in situations where protecting lives is in conflict with protecting property. They take missions that mean very little to them, because they’re important to her. And the leader is constantly having to talk her out of rampages, pressuring the government to drop lucrative and unethical contracts, and making sure she’s sticking to the plan in the field. And she isn’t interested in interpersonal relationships or social niceties, so none of them are even doing this out of friendship!
-
Sometimes, you help someone not because they’ll be grateful, but because it will make your community better. Sometimes, you help the local drug addict not because he’s likely to turn his life around, but because he smashes less windows when he has a warm, quiet space to stay. And sometimes, keeping that community benefit takes a long term commitment.
I want to see a superhero team turn a villain as harm prevention and then willingly bear the cost of keeping that villain from causing harm. Not because it’s rewarding (though there are rewards) but because it’s more effective than any other method. And I want the villain to go along with it because the heroes actually found a more efficient way for her to reach her goals.
And it being messy for everyone, but I want them to make it work. And it to be worth it, in the end.
#local neurodivergent wonders#how unlikeable a character needs to be before their values no longer matter#before they’re no longer allowed to do good#do they need to learn a lesson first?#learn how to perform social skills?#feel regret for earlier amoral behaviour?#become easy to work with?#just curious this has no echo in my own experience whatsoever#gecko’s fic ideas

Bonus 8: How met your mother (CSSR design by @qourmet!)
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#cangse sanren#wei changze#jiang fengmian#It was important to me that WCZ had the hereditary mole. I will die on this hill.#I have been *waiting* for the day to finally arrive when I could finally make this comic. It's been marinating for months.#My mission is to redraw all of qour's character designs one day. They are just *that* good.#CSSR has the vibes of a wandering menace who shows up in towns like a stray cat arriving at a new doorstep for treats. 10/10.#While YZY strongly leads us to believe that JFM was in love with CSSR and that's his whole motivation behind taking wwx in-#-I do think this is (once again) rumour being presented as reality. It's the juicer story to tell after all.#It is still possible that he did love her! But I think that story undercuts the relationship he also had with WCZ.#Yall ever think about how JC and WWX parallel their fathers? How Wei Changze also left the Jiang Leader's side? I do.#Unlike JC though It is far more hilarious and plausible to imagine JFM begging to be CSSR and WCZ's third. You know he would.#My wild headcanon is that JFM and YZY are in a mlm and wlw arranged marriage situation. Deeply unhappy as partners. Better as friends.#they care for each other and I'll admit that there is a beautiful tragedy in them having romantic feelings for each other the whole time.#But I am also here for the gaffs. Let them be unfulfilled homosexuals together.#Meanwhile cssr and wcz are having incredible hetrosexual sex in a bisexual way that WILL leave him pregnant by the end of it.

Malevolent Yellow thoughts have been fermenting for months now. It's the nature versus nurture of it all. Is a good person born or made? How much can they choose it in the face of a world that won't let them?
When John first woke up with Arthur, he was terrified. He had no idea who he was, where he was, he had no control over his form or direction, he had no purpose. He defaulted to the survival tactic most familiar to him: manipulation. He wanted to control Arthur -- and thus, his own situation -- without leaving himself vulnerable. It worked, for a time. But his own memory loss made him slip up, and it turned out Arthur was more canny than he anticipated. And yet, when gaps opened in his defenses, Arthur responded with kindness. Understanding, sympathy. He didn't take advantage of that vulnerability. Honestly, even without his month with Lily, I believe John would have opened up to Arthur.
But John's relationship with Arthur had begun on even footing. Neither of them had any memory. Both were lost and confused and desperate for answers. Both were wary of each other, but forced by circumstance to work together. Another place where they could sympathize. They both made compromises along the road as they settled in with each other.
But Yellow?
Yellow is the exact same as John was. Terrified, alone, with no control and no memory. But he was greeted with someone who KNEW him. Someone who his manipulation didn't work on. Someone with all the power over him while he was left with no leverage and no escape. And this person told him who he was supposed to be. Said, I know you. No you don't! The person who you love was grown, not born!
Of course, Arthur realized this eventually. But the damage was already done. Instead of learning to fit together organically, it was stilted and forced, tainted with the expectation that Yellow would eventually be someone he knew nothing about -- someone who both he and John himself would have recoiled from upon first waking!
John and Yellow have a fascinating dialogue about strength and weakness. Yellow claims to know the meaning of strength. Maybe he does. It's all he's ever known. John claims to have earned the power of weakness. Vulnerability. Trust. Yellow never got a chance to find that. It took John time and love and reciprocated weakness to find that meaning for himself, and to embrace it. Yellow was under threat from the first moment he existed. And when -- suddenly, without warning or countermeasure -- he was trapped with Larson instead, he had no choice but to continue using the tactics that kept him safest.
Yellow is a prisoner, first and foremost. He never had autonomy, not even to decide what he wanted. Arthur told him that he wanted to become someone weak. Larson told him that he wanted to be an all-powerful god. One of those tends to have more control over their circumstances, and Yellow chose accordingly.
#YES i wrote this instead of working on my fic.#and my homework#malevolent#john doe malevolent#yellow malevolent#arthur lester#i hateeeeee when there's a memory loss arc and they just DUMP all the info on the poor character at once. IT NEVER HELPS#self is built in a series of unlikely coincidences and random encounters. theres no way to replicate it. sorry but they're NEVER coming bac#artieeeee you learned so many lessons about how the king in yellow thinks and reacts to stuff you COULD HAVE LET HIM GROW ON HIS OWN#people need to BE TRUSTED in order to learn to trust#fumbled a bad bitch fr#dump him yellow i'll treat you right

Oh yeah I forgot that there's this opinion that Silco "was blindsided by power and wealth" and "lost his way" and "he only did what he did to benefit himself all along" etc etc. Uh. Where- where did you get that from? I'm not even being sarcastic or something, I'm genuinely curious how you can come to this conclusion.
He operates from a crappy office in The Last Drop and the only attributes of wealth he has are cigars and whiskey(?). My man had one pair of pants for 10+ years and only got a fancy coat to look more intimidating. Besides, when chembarons proposed to give back the gemstone to Piltover so their sales don't drop even harder Silco refused. Also he was ready to give up his power when Jayce made imprisoning Jinx a requirement for Zaun to gain independence. Sure, he IS motivated to keep his daughter safe, but it would also mean that his goal will finally be achieved, so there's nothing left for him to do. Both wealth and power are only means to achieve a goal to him. He also doesn't really display that he gets the kick out of it, unlike councilors in Piltover.
"Well yes he wants Zaun to be independent, but only as he personally sees it" when did he EVER say that??😭😭😭😭 Every time he speaks on the topic he only mentions how he wants Zaunites to have opportunities, respect, "more than (Piltover's) runoff". Like- that's literally everything he ever said about this. All that matters to him is independence, he couldn't care less about everything else.
As to "losing his way"...idk I think this can only be attributed to pre-drowning Silco. Because after it he pretty much decided to stick to what he now believed in forever, and at no point except the finale he went south from his beliefs.
Silco isn't "misguided" or "corrupt" or any other similar definition. He's a character who chose to become a monster to bring change to his people. And as s2 didn't do anything about resolving this conflict, he was never really proven wrong.
#people when characters (esp villians) are motivated by something bigger than personal gain: 🤔🤔🤔#when you really think about it Silco is a very simple character on paper. he was raised in an oppressed society and when nothing he tried#was effective he chose a more radical approach#his goal is very clear and specific unlike something vague like victor and jayce's “bring change to the people”#his complexity comes not from really challenging his beliefs but rather from how far he's ready to go for them#arcane critical#silco arcane#arcane
