I love you irredeemable villains

I love you ugly villains impossible to sexualize

I love you villains who don't give a fuck about anyone else

I love you villains who has a good childhood

I love you villains who are capitalist

I love you lil jack horner

I love problematic horrific villains who disregard others for the sake of money, because they are the most true to life of all villains

We don't all have tragic backstories sometimes people just suck

Tumblr is just like Twitter except aesthetic and unproblematic. Like if Pinterest and Twitter had a shy baby whose hobbies included reading and flower pressing.

this complicates things. ( Eri & Byakkomaru )

Prompt: Miscellaneous Sentence Prompts.

♡ Eri.

"Oh? What does?" Eri would tilt his head as he stood in front of the tiger demon. It's not unusual that as his duty in researching curse gear and ensuring the health of their wielders, that he would be asked to enter some dreamscapes to meet with the demons. He's gotten used to demons attacking him or try to lure him into traps when setting foot into these dreamscapes - but Byakkomaru never did that.

He had never once tried to outright attack Eri, nor lure him into a trap in any way. Demons were understood to be creatures who are in a constant state of hunger and dependency, either they depend on the desire or fear of another life-form. For Byakkomaru to remain composed and even at times, nonchalant, indicates that he was not an ordinary demon. Perhaps this is what makes a Black Demon different than that of a regular one? "Are you talking about the 'monster' that's bothering Kureto and Shinoa? Do you perhaps know of it?"

I know I’m being anti-fun and a wet blanket about this but -

While I find “if not friend why friend-shaped” about cute but dangerous animals to be a fun meme, I increasingly react with knee-jerk negativity to “if evil why hot” because while it’s not that serious when applied to fiction there is an extremely worrying real trend of people who think of themselves as progressive and enlightened who equate physical appearance to morality.

I like taking terrible things and making good, cool, comfy versions of them, SO BEHOLD!

✨THE ETHICAL LOVE POTION✨

Components: An honest love letter 💌 written by the user, and a small piece of cloth from near the heart.

Casting method: The letter and the cloth are burned mixed with aromatic herbs and brewed into a rich tea, all while continuously chanting the words for love and sharing in the ancient tongue.

Effect: This potion when drank by the correct person allows them to directly feel the creators love for them for up to an hour depending on the amount they drink, it doesn't make the receiver love the creator back, but it is often a very effective means of courtship to show someone exactly how much you care.

If someone unintended drinks the potion it causes them to feel profoundly uncomfortable near the intended drinker and the creator, as if they had walked in on something very private.

If drank by the creator themselves then the potion causes deep feelings of heartache as their longing for love is intensified, this effect is often used by poets and writers as inspiration to write love songs, or tragedies.

I think the unwillingness and aversion of leftists to (even illegally/without giving $ to the franchise) consume problematic media is problematic on its own because, in my personal humble opinion… you have to learn how to analyze and fully comprehend WHY a piece of media is problematic!!

You have to be able to logically consume a piece of media and/or propaganda, understand the difference between the two, understand why it’s harmful, and be able to watch it critically without becoming indoctrinated by it, without compromising your values, and while still being motivated by a goal of Understanding.

I need y’all to remember the reading comprehension exercises that they had us do in school, where they gave us a story to read and we had to give a summary, explain the overarching themes as well as the undertones and suggestive meaning and subtext and context, and then ASK QUESTIONS after!! And not only about the story but also the author !! Because media reflects the person/s producing the media!! Learning about the life and beliefs of the author allows you to understand their work in a deeper, clearer way! Even if and especially if they’re an asshole!!

When you consume problematic media- WHEN not if, this is inevitable given the exploitative nature of the entertainment industry- try asking yourself some questions and really think about and sit with the answers.

What stereotypes does this media perpetuate, and against what group/s? What are the historical roots of these stereotypes? What are the effects, consequences, and impact of promoting these stereotypes for the respective group/s?

Are there clearly defined power dynamics/structures within the narrative? Is there a clear aggressor and victim? How are these dynamics treated by the narrative- is it just background noise or does it serve as a plot device? Is oppression used for character development- & are its effects on the character/s fully explored? Or is it only expressed shallowly/from a surface level, in order to further the story? Why or why not? Do these dynamics reflect or resemble any power dynamics that exist in real life? If so, which ones and why? How do the characters respond/react to these dynamics? Do these reactions evoke empathy from the audience or alienate them?

Does this media have a diverse cast/crew? Why or why not? Who makes these decisions, and who benefits from them?

What are the audiences responses to this media? Is it polarizing for different groups? Why or why not? When having these interactions, who is safe, and who is at risk? Who benefits, and who is harmed?

Have I, subconsciously or unconsciously, internalized or integrated any of these harmful tropes? Have I, intentionally or unintentionally, projected them onto others? How can I reconcile? How can I offer myself & others an opposing narrative to challenge the harm that has happened?

like… never consuming problematic media does not make u immune to propaganda!! It just leaves you unprepared for not only recognizing it but also being able to internally, mentally criticize it. Media literacy is a SKILL that actually requires that you develop your critical thinking with PRACTICE and EXPERIENCE.

When you consume problematic media-WHEN not if, this is inevitable given the exploitative nature of the entertainment industry(in case u didn’t hear me the first time)— you Will Be faced with uncomfortable questions and maybe some emotions that are difficult to deal with But That Means You’re Exactly Where You’re Supposed To Be. Those uncomfortable questions are the ones you need to be asking !!! Those difficult emotions are the ones that need to be addressed and unpacked !!! You have to be able to look at something ugly and Not Flinch !!!

If you need to take time and pause the movie to reflect, silently or outloud, do that. If you learn better taking notes or with voice recording, that’s cool. If you learn better by having dialog with another person, find someone willing. If you feel overwhelmed and need to take a break, all fine. But keep going back and learning and questioning more. Don’t give up.

anyway literally everyone is going through something all the time!!! everyone is wounded!!! everyone is human & no one makes it out of this life unscathed!! maybe try approaching people in good faith instead of always defaulting to the worst possible interpretations of each other
