vague-posting about this here cuz i don't feel comfortable yapping about my su takes on twitter, but after everything that's happened the most interesting thing about the su fandom to me is that so many are 100% there for applying the "everyone can change and deserves a second chance" message to everyone, even the diamonds. except for one ☝️ she doesn't count. cuz she's dead.

Unpopular Harry Potter opinions:

"James Potter and the Marauders severely bullied Snape" and "Snape taking that pain out on Harry was ugly and inappropriate" are statements that can and should coexist.

"Publicly exposing someone and mocking him is not a funny prank" and "calling your best friend a slur is wrong even under stress" are statements that can and should coexist.

And, finally, "[Character] did something genuinely wrong and would face consequences for it in a just world" and "[Character] ultimately chose to do the right thing and should be recognised for that" are statements that can and should coexist. (James, Severus, and Sirius are the ones I had in mind as potential names to substitute for [Character] but really that could fit a lot of people.)

Alpha-17: “That’s game cadets, who’s up next?”

Random little cadet: “What does ‘thats game’ mean?”

Alpha-17: “Well, it’s a sports term. Like slam dunk or ball handler.”

Alpha-17: “Get the hell off my training deck right now-“

part 3 of warriors headcanons, this time with trauma, while trying to figure out how to word it all other then cia and war bad

i dont think warriors home life is bad per say but its not great either, hes a nobles child yes, but his parents and older sister died when he was young and so his uncle took over the family, and he already had two sons older then warriors, so technically there was no need for him any more, and while they didnt treated him horribly, it was no secret they didnt want him there either, it was his uncles goal to marry him off as quickly as he could to a different family. this is something that warriors thinks is the only thing he has going for him since hes been told for years by his uncle and cousins that his beauty is all hes worth(hes actually very smart and talented but they dont want to encourage confidence)

however when warriors is 15 the king made a new decree stating all families, noble or otherwise must send a child of 16 or older to join the military exceptions only for one child households or those unable to, warriors uncle saw this as an opportunity to get his unwanted nephew out of his hair not have to see him until he was marrying age(20 in my headcanon for this era). to keep up the pretense that he cared about his nephew, he arranged for him to live at the family estate in castle town in his free time from the army,

so warriors is sent to castle town to join the army the week he turns 16, hes has maybe 2 months of training before the war starts and hes thrown into being a captian with no experience, an older superior officer is assigned to to train him in everything he needs to know about helping to run a military in war time and to speed run his sword training. this particular superior officer unfortunately does not like warriors and his jump in the ranks or his natural talent with the sword. this officer only last a few weeks as either impa or artemis caught the man trying to take advantage of warriors, hes demoted very quickly and sent to the front lines where hes killed. impa herself takes over warriors training as now she and artemis dont trust anyone else to not try the same thing

starting by saying fuck cia i hate her and im not going into to much detail so use your imagination. unfortunately i do think that she was able to set a trap that was effectiveand that she did get her hands on him for a few weeks or even months before he was rescued, warriors deeply regrets the pride and arrogance and feeling of being invincible that got him caught, and is very careful not to let it happen again

due to the one superior officer and the fact i dont see the traitors stopping on the battle field and that there were several assassination attempts weather by poisoning or other ways, it has left a lot of trust issues, and yes he does heal from this but it does take time, and does show itself again when meeting/traveling with new people, ie the chain it does take him at least a few months to be be able to sleep and not wake up at the slightest of noise, to stop watching every movement made when someone is cooking, to trust being able to take food from them if he didnt see where it came from, to trust having his back turned towards them

he also has claustrophobia due to being trapped in a bottle by the great fairy, honestly this one is very self explanatory, hate being in small enclosed spaces

he honestly does have a lot of insecurities, ones i hope ive been able to sprinkle throughout all of my post, do let me know of theres things you would like more on and i can certainly try to find the words for it,

on a higher note to leave off on i think wind was in the war before the lu adventure solely for the reason i think he and time acting like siblings and warriors thier exhausted parent is hilarious, no one believes wind when he claims time was the one that pulled a pank, and warriors is in the background unnoticed by all except those two giving them the mom look(you know the one)

um ok Strawhats Star Wars au (think like clone wars era-ish) where they’re all space pirates…

- Luffy is a force-sensitive Mandalorian foundling from a covert of True Mandalorians hiding bc the New Mandalorians currently control the planet (Shanks is his buir btw) (he’s standard human …?)

- Zoro is a former Jedi youngling who left after his crèche-mate and best friend Kuina died, he fights with two of his own lightsabers as well as Kuina’s white saber (he’s an oni-like species)

- Nami used to work for a group of bounty hunters/spice runners from an aquatic planet and was picked up by them after they took a bounty out for Bell-mere (she’s half aquatic species, half human, so Arlong’s crew like her even less…)

- Usopp is another Mandalorian from Luffy’s covert and a sniper who’s skilled with any weapon, but especially an energy slingshot he modified from an energy crossbow (he’s a near-human species notable for their long noses)

- Sanji is a modified clone who escaped from the cloning facilities as a kid, his siblings are an enhanced special ops team (think bad batch) and the rest of the clone army look pretty normal (black hair, no curly brows- those are a sign of enhancements) so most people don’t clock him as a clone at first

I’ll figure out the others later…

ouyang zongzhu being like 'well the soldiers accused of war crimes Said they didn't do it' is insane. like yeah man of course they did

Things to do during the upcoming holiday:

Finish this Yamagi/Shino fic idea that suddenly seized me. It's going to be very sweet and fluffy and not at all secretly emotionally harrowing.

Make a proper Wishing on Space Hardware cast-list post, which will likely mean attempting to draw some grown-up versions of IBO characters I don't have screen-grabs from the epilogue for.

See if folding in some stuff around IBO's depictions of violence and Gundam-in-general's approach to justified violence will be the missing ingredient for the 'meaning of the Gundams' post.

Continue working on Akatsuki's Big Adventure

Rest(?)

Things I will not be doing:

Writing a rant about how if you're going to throw around the word 'fascism' in the context of a story, you really need to be able to point to the features that separate it from standard-issue machismo, militarism, chauvinism etc etc because while these always sit on a spectrum, words do in fact mean things and distinguishing background radiation from full-throated embrace is a useful tool in critique that will help you understand why certain things gain traction in spite of their questionable nature, not to mention contextualise broader messages works may be attempting to convey (e.g. mecha anime's problem of inherently glamorising violence irrespective of textual message).

Ahem.

Like I say, not doing that.

(The Fascist Gundam Show is AGE, by the way, which I bet at least half of you reading this didn't expect [I mean, odds are you've probably not even seen it but I'm being rhetorical] despite it playing the 'all-powerful yet weak underclass proves an implacable enemy' absolutely straight for the majority of its run before attempting the limpest last-minute swerve, all while falling squarely into Great Man of History tropes. The fact it does this with the most self-consciously 'cutesy' art-style thus far used in the franchise is worthy of critical engagement but I'm not going to do it because I fucking loathe that show and all its squandered potential.)
