The maths fandom is wild. “Real” and “imaginary” numbers? I think you mean canon and non-canon. You guys seriously go “this is my number oc his name is i and he is the square root of -1” when in numbers canon lore it’s actually impossible to square root a negative but sure whatever. “Complex numbers”? I think you mean a character x oc ship. “f(x) = 3x - 5”? That is self-insert fanfiction.

I have yet to hear a convincing argument as to why bramblestar is good but also I don’t get why everyone is so angry about people who like him. Like yeah bramblestar is an abuser, that doesn’t make people who like him abusers and it absolutely does not give you the right to harass people

I get where your coming from but I still like her and honestly I don’t think she’s that bad.

I hate Sparkpelt, you cannot convince me otherwise. I’ve always hated her. When I read AVOS in grade 4 I kept comparing her to this super bitchy girl in our class. I despised her and still do.

Reasons:

Has Squirrelstar’s personality but worse

was actively against SkyClan returning to the lake. Like please just admit you’re xenophobic for goodness sake

when Alder confronts her about her harmful opinions she goes “I can have my own opinion” and IMMEDIATELY makes a joke to deflect the conversation somewhere else. The next day it’s all done and Alder is fine with her. Wtf??

Not going into her depression shit bc I’m probably going to get yelled at but just saying, Larksong could have handled it so much better. Like, he would have been heartbroken, but wouldn’t have ignored the kits and refused to spend time with them. His personality is eons better than hers.

Just. ASC in general. Let Nightheart be his own person, and he’s not spoilt or entitled for trying to have his own identity for goodness sake fandom

finally realises her son is capable 🙄 in book 4

And before you go off about her being “out of character” in ASC, um no she isn’t. She’s always been that way. Use your brain cells for goodness sake. Read the books properly. It’s also a series thing in general, have you read DOTC? Cats are shitty for no reason extremely often. She’s not the only victim of this.

She’s just awful. That’s all.

A message to all nightheart haters. You are wrong, the entire point of his character is that he’s flawed and he is trying to do better. He is one of the few warrior cats characters that actually goes through a meaningful character arc and I see so many people complaining that he has flaws or that he’s annoying or something and it’s like yeah that’s kind of the point of character growth he has to start somewhere, and to those saying that he’s still making many mistakes and that he shouldn’t have left with frostpaw because sunbeam would be in Thunderclan alone you are correct, he shouldn’t have but I feel like that decision reflects on the fact that despite the amount of growth he’s done he still isn’t perfect.

Why is it that I can only make sense of what I really look like when someone is attracted to me. Genuinely angry about this bc yeah I’m vain and talk about how beautiful I am all the time but always suspect I look like an actual creature to most people and can’t imagine anyone seeing me naked until someone shows me how much they want me. I was about to shower today and I looked at myself and thought oh yeah i make sense this is a coherent arrangement of limbs and flesh and bone. the shapes created here can be someone’s dream

[marigold-22]

I mostly agree with the first post and mostly disagree with the second but for the third post I have a question.

Why do you think that a man Nbs are MRA contrarians. I’m not trying to be rude but I just genuinely want to know because at least in my experience Amanda nbs fall into one of two camps

1. Basically just a bi cis man with different pronouns:

As a trans girl this one mildly irritates me sometimes because often they will treat their experience as at all similar to that of a more outwardly trans person despite being functionally cis and never having gone through the turmoil that is being outwardly trans

Or they fall into

2. The androgynous

This one is pretty simple they present very androgynously and usually just look either genderless or very gay

In both cases they are typically quite feminist and though they don’t get everything right I’ve never seen one who is even close to a MRA. Anyway I was just curious

The fact that guys constantly want a “goth” girlfriend or a “tomboy mommy bullshit whatever” girlfriend just shows how aesthetic-based het male sexuality is. It’s a cultural staple that a stereotypically attractive woman can be with an ugly yet funny man because he’s funny because the man is his own person but a man would never do the same with a woman because the woman acts as a statement piece a “look what I’ve got” item and not an individual with depth. It drives me insane even among my male peers who have a vague understanding of feminist critique or at least a normie contemporary one. Lust over aesthetics. And of course if you point this out you are branded with oh you’re just saying that to “get pussy” as of course men can’t comprehend having genuine feminist opinions without trying to barter their way into sex. Whatever who cares blows my head off with shotgun

Shadow and bone season 2 spoilers

I feel very conflicted. I liked so many things but I also disliked a lot.

To begin with the things I liked, I absolutely loved Mal, in the original trilogy he was by far my least favorite character he just felt like a complete asshole who was super unsupportive of Alina and was just very annoying. In the show he is great he was a good partner to Alina and was very supportive he contributed a lot to Alina’s arc but also had his own arc that was well developed and contributed to the story. Another thing I liked was that they just completely removed the entire sun army plot line, in the books it felt like an irrelevant piece of filler, also adding in the apparat as villainous figure in the books just felt like it took away from the villainous presence and development of the darkling, this brings me to my next point. The darkling was amazing in his development and felt like a great counterpart to Alina, speaking of which Alina had a significantly stronger presence than in the books, in the books she felt like she had very little power at all and that just felt like the wrong place for a protagonist to be, however in the show she is a force to be reckoned with and it feels like she and not just her sun summoning is the reason that the darkling was defeated and the fold was destroyed.

Now for the things I didn’t like. The biggest issue plaguing the show is the pacing, the second season is super rushed and because of that many character’s arcs are completely ignored, to begin with Nikolai does not get even close to enough development, his relationships with the other characters appear out of nowhere, it’s like one second Alina is challenging Nikolai on everything and the next second she’s best friends with him, they also left out the Nikolai being a monster plot line which in the books felt essential to his character development, however I did really enjoy much of the onscreen time and development that he did have. Nikolai is just one of many characters that had their development sidelined or even completely lost because of the rushing. Another victim of the rushing was the general feeling of a ravcan civil war, this is one of the things that I feel very conflicted about, the show took a trilogy of books that was primarily a story about a large scale country wide civil war and attempted to turn it into a more interpersonal story, I have no problem with this in concept in fact I actually think I like it more, the problem is that they made it more interpersonal but also tried to keep the civil war storyline, again I don’t necessarily think that this is inherently bad it’s just very hard to pull off and I don’t think they did, Their weren’t enough large scale battles to make a civil war believable and honestly I think that this could have been corrected if they had extended the shadow and bone story into 3 seasons.

Let’s talk about the crows, this and the ending are the 2 things that I feel the most conflicted about, not actually because of what happens in the show but because of what it means for future geishaverse shows. The crow storyline was extremely well done we got introduced to Wylan and each of the crows got plenty of character development and that’s the problem, most of the crows have already finished their arcs from crooked kingdom before six of crows even happens, Kaz had his whole pekka revenge thing happen and beat up per haskel already, Inej also pretty much finished her arc but I’ll talk about that when I talk about the ending, Jesper is about halfway through his arc already but he at least has some room left for development, on the bright side Nina and Wylan have gotten very good introductions hut haven’t even started their arcs yet meaning that they have significant room for growth in a possible six of crows season/spin off. Overall I feel mixed about the crows I really liked them in this season but I worry that their development could get stunted in future seasons.

Finally let’s talk about the ending, I have seen a wide variety of opinions about it ranging from adoring it to despising it, I feel positive about it but have a lot of issues with it nonetheless. Yet again the ending worries me because of what it might mean for future grishaverse shows, to begin with I absolutely love the idea of Alina being a more important character and adore the idea of an evil Alina arc also Mal being sturmhond makes me happy, I just like the idea of Mal and Alina being more present in future stories along with the fact that the end of the original felt to fairytale like and in my opinion didn’t fit the rest of the book my one big worry with Alina is that she will steal Zoya’s arc from king of scars duology which would be terrible I would much prefer a villain arc. As for other characters it seemed like they teased king of scars with Nikolai and I hope that he gets more development in that, Inej is the character that I fear for the most it’s just character development wise I don’t know where she goes from here and we haven’t even gotten six if crows yet.

Anyway there is a bunch more stuff I could talk about concerning the ending, character development, and differences compared to the book but this post is already long enough and I’m tired so I will just say that overall I really liked this show and am excited to see what comes next, it has a lot of issues and doesn’t at all stick to the source material but honestly I think it’s better than the source material at least when talking about the original shadow and bone trilogy, however when it comes to future seasons I think they need to be more careful about the characters and how closely they stick to the source material.

also remember how before NtN dropped we were all speculating about the end of Harrow — who was giving Gideon CPR? was Alecto really there? what about Frontline Titties? — and then NtN picked up 6 months later and BoE lost Gideon's body and gained Pyrrha and amnesiac Harrow completely off screen

In that vein. What would be the most chaotic possible beginning to AtN, picking up months later with 0 thing explained? Place your bets

I’M BEING ATTACKED

[marigold-22]

happy valentine's day who wants to throw themselves on a fence spike for me while reciting biblical wedding vows as your last words so i can consume your soul and gain immortality but after confronting god who says he cannot bring you back i become so overtaken with grief that i lobotomize myself to erase my ability to conceive of you in any capacity to prevent my body from absorbing and using you as an eternal battery after which i send myself to a purgatory dream state and you surface in control of my body and defend it from the alien bug soldiers of a murdered ghost planet that are trying to kill me for the sins of the emperor i worship and then i stay sleeping in hell while you end up back in your own body and then my body kisses your body but it's while being inhabited by the soul of the earth and eventually you try to sacrifice yourself for me again but you can't because you're dead now and then i wake up in my own body finally in the same room as you but i faint and get carried off by eldritch barbie before i can hear you assert your devotion to me by calling her a slut. either that or we could get coffee
