"Medusa x Perseus" Why don't you guys ship Bellerophon with Chimera? Or Heracles with the Hydra?

#greek mythology #medusa #perseus #ramblings #Yes I know that Medusa has a more humanoid appearance and human intellect compared to the other female monsters #But she is still a monster #She was supposed to have a monstruous appearance but then people made her dirty #Imagine if I would turn the Minotaur into a hot guy with horns and then ship him with Theseus AKA his own killer #I know it sounds ridiculous but this is exactly how some people out there sound too #Why can't we acknowledge that one doesn’t need to be conventionally attractive in order to deserve empathy or understanding?#Or that a woman can be evil and malevolent without a tragic background story that turn all women into victims and all men into assholes?#And why do we have to come up with the most stupid pairs to ever exist?#My tags are becoming more and more distant from the post's subject but my FYP is full of this type of BS so here I am #Thanks for my (salty) Ted Talk!

The real message of Lucy vs Buddy is that worshipping a divinity is about following the values that the god puts forth, not about preaching or praying or evangelizing.

When Buddy was offered to die a Helio worshipper or live with a different god, he chose to abandon the faith he claimed such devotion to. When Lucy was offered the same thing, she looked to her values as they related to her religion and decided that she would not add to the coldness of the world. Lucy, even in death, remains a light in the dark, the warm memory in the coldness of the ratgrinders. That’s true devotion. That’s the point of religion.

#thinking about. when I went to the leadership conference in January #and we each were given a list of like 100 values. and we each had to choose 5 to claim as Our Values #and at the end I looked around the room to find that 90% of other people had picked self serving values #family. friends. inner peace. self esteem. faith. etc #and I had things that helped the world. empathy. justice. knowledge. etc #and like… there is nothing wrong with valuing family or self esteem. those things when positive can make life worth living. I get it #but would those people who chose to value inner peace and family have chosen the god of rage?#if u value inner peace over world peace what decisions will you make that fuck over the world to save urself?#this is certainly too deep for a d20 post ignore me #cienna talks #fhjy #fantasy high

wanna ask how you feel about the eridan bpd headcanon/theory(?? not sure what to call it!) you're so good at your character analysis and i'd love to see your outlook on it

Since I don't have a degree or any formal training in psychology, I feel deeply uncomfortable diagnosing characters. I've made an autism joke before but only because I'm on the spectrum. He's definitely traumatized and anxious, but I mean those as descriptors of his behavior rather than capital-D Diagnoses. I try to focus on those when I can - the cause and effect of cognition, self-image, and behavior - and those factors may very well match up with DSM criteria, but I try not to touch an actual diagnosis with a ten foot pole unless the author has explicitly stated that X character has Y condition.

#there's a variety of reasons for this #part of it is that im GROSSLY unqualified to be handing out diagnoses when it takes a full on PhD to do that in real life #part of it is that psychology is inchoate and we are still very much in murky waters #for example: complex ptsd isn't even IN the DSM yet #and iirc my therapist told me it was because theyre still figuring out how to classify it (attachment disorder? trauma disorder? etc.)#part of it is that (from my limited and undereducated understanding) there are diagnoses that you can assign by completing a checklist...#but some that require a hell of a lot more testing and ruling out other potential causes #and the cluster-b personalities are (IIRC) not even ones you're supposed to diagnose minors with #bc of fears of self fulfilling prophecy and because minors in general are still developing personalities In General #and like the fact that i can't say that with authority speaks to how unqualified i am to do any diagnosing right? hahaha #and part of it is just because like #unless the story is specifically About That and the author has stated so explicitly #i think diagnosing characters tends to put blinders on analysis #like if i were to seriously go 'eridan is autistic' then it would massively bias my reading and understanding of his character #and we have 0 indication that eridan was ever explicitly intended to be autistic or that the author was trying to do an autism specifically #that doesn't mean that the reading is invalid because like thats what death of the author means #all readings are technically valid including stuff the author didn't necessarily intend #but that's just not the way i like to engage with media and not the way i like to approach character analysis #because PERSONALLY it just feels kind of reductive - but also -#i'd wager MOST of us don't have degrees in psychology #so when i say 'X character has Y condition' it might mean something totally different to somebody reading my analysis #even people who have Y condition aren't exempt because a lot of mental illnesses differ from person to person #whereas if i explain “X character has Y thoughts and Z behaviors” there's no ambiguity in that #eridan struggles with noticing that people are suffering and with realizing that he should care #at least part of this is due to his horrific murder-filled upbringing which rendered empathy a detriment & so he learned to ignore it #it could be autism - but it could also be trauma -#or he might just be Like That without actually meeting the diagnostic criteria for autism #& you can't even technically be diagnosed with C-PTSD #or maybe he has a burgeoning personality disorder but you aren't supposed to DX those too early anyway #or maybe hes just 13. see what i mean hahaha. ive reached the 30 tag limit

in MDZS the novel, the innkeeper in Yunping mentions that people are too scared to go petition Yunmeng Jiang for help because someone once walked in on Sect Leader Jiang whipping a guy in the main hall, supposedly because the guy was a demonic cultivator.

#mdzs #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #jc apologism #anyways as you can hopefully tell by now this is a jc stan blog.#so as a stan i will do my rightful stan duty and insist that my fave did nothing wrong #so. onwards. the “jiang cheng tortures demonic cultivators” claim is interesting on several levels #because we don't see it happen onscreen. and because thematically mdzs is a book about the unreliability of rumors #especially when said rumors conform to your preexisting understanding of someone. or what you want to hear about someone #it would have been so easy for mxtx to include a scene where jc tortures a demonic cultivator onscreen. i would love to read it too #but that doesnt happen. when jc actually corners wwx he just shoves a dog in his face and bullies him emotionally #smh jc get your shit together!! what is this lame ass display?? not living up to your reputation here loser #anyways. tbh i consider two things separately: 1. mxtx's intentions. and 2. what the text itself implies #for 1. i am legitimately unsure of what to think. mxtx relies on rumors/empathy/etc to give us info about side characters #in part because she's constrained herself to writing from wwx's perspective and has no other easy way of getting the info to us #does she intend for us to question the rumors? or are we supposed to take them as fact because of the narration limits described?#2. what the text itself implies is not necessarily the same as what mxtx intends.#for me mdzs is in part a story about the unreliability of rumors and reputation etc etc. other meta writers than i have explained it better #so for the work to go “all the rumors about wwx were exaggerated/manipulated/not 100% correct.”#“but the rumors about everyone else are 100% true!!!!!”#is peak stupidity. and shit-tier writing #and i actually like mdzs so i would like to believe the writer is more intelligent than that #thus. i conclude in part due to this emotional necessity of mine that there must have been something more going on #anyways. i have similar opinions about the “did jiggy kill rusong” business but that's a post for later #ill probably put my jc torture opinions in their own post some day #yanyan polls

i saw a post saying boom was good bc it feels like it could be done with any doctor/companion duo and honestly that was one of the things i felt was wrong with it

#in a show with a title character that could be Literally Anyone and a companion sharing the lead that could be Literally Anyone #i value the little moments that set this duo apart from the rest. ESPECIALLY when it comes to returning writers like rtd/moff #fifteen and ruby felt a little too eleven/twelve and clara adjacent in boom. in both their dialogue and characterization #space babies also landed a little weird at first bc it lifted a bit from end of the world BUT the scenes that fifteen and ruby #had to themselves. like ruby getting covered in snot and fifteen laughing. or fifteen and ruby looking after the Space Babies #or fifteen going out of his way to save the monster bc that monster is the only one of its kind Just Like Him Fr #that stuff is so good and its also something we haven't seen from another nuwho doctor. the vulnerable bleeding-heart empathy #and a dynamic w a companion that is basically 'two troublemakers that just deeply love fun and adventure and getting into trouble together'#oh yeah and also the devil's chord was peak fiction because it touches on fifteen's renewed connection and love for humanity #and marries it to ruby being a musician and how music like any art is the expression of the human soul etc etc #WHAT MAKES A DOCTOR WHO STORY GOOD TO ME IS PARTLY HOW THE PREMISE TIES INTO THE DOCTOR AND COMPANION'S CHARACTERS #IT HAS TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS TAILOR MADE TO THEM. ELSE IT WONT LAND RIGHT TO ME #i hate the take that they should've saved wild blue yonder for a fifteen episode bc #the tension is hinged on how well the doctor/companion know each other. u have a level of it that u can ONLY get #with fourteen and donna who are two halves of a whole soul but have also spent much more time missing the other than knowing them #im not rewatching fifteen's eps rn until a week later when i can watch it w my qpp but #rn i still feel a stronger sense of fifteen and ruby's characters from all the rtd-written eps rather moffat #which like. i get that a lot of that is my personal dislike of moffat's writing style but still #dr who #15 era #dw spoilers

I hate that I have reoccurring themes in everything I make. YES this guy has a complex over the fact that everyone prefers his sibling AGAIN. YES he was ostracized by his peers since he was in primary school and never knew why until years later. URGH

#i dont know why the siblings thing ends up coming up as often as it does (read: i know exactly why) but uuurggh #do you ever. have an inside joke with your sibling that your abusive dad prefers you over them and it's so established it's casual banter #but everyone you've ever tried to be sincere with (your mother; your peers) have consistantly preferred your sibling over you #even your own friends and kids who were closer to your age range than theirs #do you ever have a conversation with your best friend where they tell you that at first they didn't want to be friends with you #because you were ''too Weird''#do you ever get praised by a friend who says she envied you in middle school because you ''never cared about being different''#meanwhile you had no idea you were different and just couldn't fucking fix it #it took me that to understand that people avoided me because i was Weird. i thought the reason i had no friends was bc i was shy #that and the fact that i Didnt Know What Was Socially Acceptable Or Not and other kids were scared of me bc i was ''to blunt''#i have learned to value honesty over nearly everything else but that's only because i wish everyone else did the same.#literally everything i write has a main protagonist with low to no emotional empathy. like. ok #every character i write has that thing where they always felt like they were a monster for not feeling the right things. mh #i wonder how that might reflect on how my whole world came crashing down once i realised emotional empathy is A Real Thing #and not just a lie people made up for virtue signaling #''there's no way people /literally/ feel sad /for/ other people. they just know rationally that it's bad'' deep sigh.#anyway thats why i will never shut up about the fact that empathy is morally neutral and not a prerequisite for being a ''''good person''''#emotions are morally neutral. thats why we say all emotions are valid. thats why thought crimes aren't real #in short: you will pry human!au no empathy janus and autistic remus from my cold dead hands #i have. so many fucking thoughts.#janus is literally JUST like ME for REAL #except for the lying mostly because i !!! taught myself out of that #THE AMOUNT OF WORK I HAVE DONE ON MYSELF. I HAVE CLAWED MY WAY OUT OF THE TRENCHES OF MENTAL ILLNESS ON MY OWN AND I AM PROUD OF THAT #MAYBE it's because i can never open up to anyone ever BUT it's also because im SKILLED and SWAG and SELF-AWARE and THE BEST EVER. and MODEST #rant #the tag rambler strikes again . apologies

I need to think of hat radish fic ideas that would suit having Nahida as the POV!!!!

I want to experiment with writing her especially since she’s my favorite between the two but all my fic ideas just…keep being more suited for Wanderer’s POV
