#My typical bullshit

[nightcolorz]

I’m sure I’ve talked about this b4 but it makes me crazy so, friendly reminder that Armand and Andrei overlap in meaning. Armand translates to a soldier or a warrior, or just a man who is armed, and Andrei translates to strong, brave, warrior, and masculine. I have thoughts about him being given the name armand by the cult as a marking of his status as an executioner for God and how even when he leaves the cult (for a good chunk of his immortal life) he goes on to view violence as a necessary duty he needs to perform to upkeep his safety in the perceived never ending battle (despite not particularly enjoying violence or wanting to be a violent person), all very sad. And yet also there is smth sentimental about armand keeping the name armand during his eventual self improvement healing era by the end of the series and giving the label of warrior a new meaning— thereby in a sense returning to Andrei (the person he has possibly always been deep down). Armand is a warrior now as in someone who is strong and brave and has managed to persevere and survive this long despite it all. I love that, as he deserves. he made it <3

(Not even to mention that since Amadeo is beloved of god armand is, if u take all of his names into account, gods strongest soldier. Lmaoo)

Very tired of the shadowy/darkness-themed brooding male love interests in fantasy romance books. Especially the ones where the character revolves heavily around sex / sexualization.

This is especially irritating when they are 'healed' or complete as people because they are dating the protag. Seriously. It just promotes that toxic 'You can fix him with love' concept. This is such an inherently harmful message.

Not saying those kind of broody characters shouldn't be allowed to exist at all. However, the dominance of that character type over other portrayals in romance especially, subscribes to the common notion of masculinity having only one desirable form.

The main lead does not have to be the most powerful, the most virile, most tragic or most intimidating.

It's shallow and overdone.

Why can't the men and boys in these leads also be written as thoughtful and warm, sunlight characters. Soft hands and gentle voices. Complex and spirited and vibrant. Let them also be kind, lovely and full of quiet things.

I have so many thoughts on this general topic that go into way too many directions to summarize in one post.

#is this prompted by my fondness of peeta mellark maybe #anti sjm #anti rhysand #anti ic #anti acotar #men in media #fantasy romance #masculinity in literature #lucien vanserra #and the point is why are they often not the main love interests but just a side character when they are not that typical format #twilight too #we should not perpetuate the idea of men being fixed by love and sex #this literally connects to the victim blaming mindset #you should have given him a chance bullshit

why does everyone think normal would actually even TRY to hurt taylor like this boy literally just had an entire episode where he became convinced that he was right and his friends don’t care about him AND he just was reminded that it’s kinda his dads fault that taylor didn’t get to have a dad in his life you really think norm isn’t fully prepared to step down and let taylor win he literally said he only wanted to rule hell because it sounded angsty and he’s being angsty why would he get violent about it 😭😭😭😭😭

#dndads #dndads spoilers #i’ve seen several people say this now and i’m so confused like #normal was only enraged to the point of violence against a friend (scary) because she set his HOUSE ON FIRE #he only went into a typical oak rage when he just watched terry jr die in front of him! #normal does give into the family anger but it makes him snappy not violent why do y’all think he’d hurt taylor #HES NOT EVEN MAD AT TAYLOR #i get wanting self sacrificial taylor angst but y’all 😭😭😭 #taylor just reconnected with his dad and grandfather and found out his other grandfather is in chains i think he’s a bit more motivated #and normal is already on the self sacrificial bullshit anyways! he thinks they don’t care about him #he’s not gonna fight for his life against TAYLOR of all people oh my god #sorry for the rant i’m just???? that’s not normals character at all #in fact it’s far more likely that he’s gonna magic bullshit his way through the fight instead

The backlash against Frozen, which, from my observation, has cooled down (that isn't a joke, I swear-) quite a bit over the past few years, was less based on the quality of the movie itself and more on the fact that its massive success and reach really overshadowed a lot of other movies that came out prior to it and after it and was getting credited for stuff that had already been done before plenty of times, and in many cases, in those exact movies. This is why, to this day, many fans STILL refuse to give Tangled its props without trying to put Frozen down in some way. In their eyes, Tangled should have gotten the glory and accolades Frozen received, but did not, and that made them quite jealous. Overall, Frozen is far from a bad movie. It's a great movie with a great message, characters, music and does actually deserve the success and recognition it got, and some fans need to stop being so salty about it and uplift their fav movies without putting Frozen down so they get the proper appreciation they deserve as well. Although, yes, the credit this movie got for allegedly introducing themes, archetypes and tropes that had already been seen before in Disney, including movies set in a fairytale world with heroines as the protags, was undoubtedly the most annoying part about its success and is part of the reason why many tried to drag this movie and its main leads.

#disney #frozen #txt #ngl i was part of the hate train for a long time too #not as much as others tho but still i was one of these people who thought frozen was overrated af #but now i realized i was kinda full of it for that opinion #when i saw it the first time the major gripe i had with how many songs it had #but now i'm actually fine with that #idk my stance on this movie had always been a weird one #i have always contradicted myself when it came to this movie #until recently when i've finally begun to embrace it #i have always liked it and not liked it? idk. it's been weird #i do want to see thiw franchise get expanded but i'd prefer a tv series #and i think frozen ii needs a retcon ngl that movie was a whole shitshow writing wise #and the message was not as impactful i'm sorry but it's in line with the typical “the power is actually in me” bullshit #it's some selfish nonsense and is against the main theme of almost every disney movie #which is about how your dreams will come true if you have faith AND do for others. something even better will happen or you will want #something else entirely #it's about selflessness love and sacrifice whether it's romantic platonic familiar or even related to the community as a whole #but anyways that's an entirely different point #so yeah frozen isn't a terrible movie you guys. i think the anger is misplaced

this scott 3l rewatch it so so strange. i was right with my original notes, their relationship does not read nearly as scary from the scott pov and im really wondering why this is. My first theory was that it was an editing style thing or a background music thing or maybe the specific scenes that are missing but now that I’m really thinking about it I Dont Know

#bree barks so fucking loud #Ignore me. Insanity #but yeah beyond the first episode or so this rewatch has been a lot more chill in terms of My Emotions #scott is typically off doing his own thing. I only get sad when I think about dialogue thats not even included in his pov #see: ‘that experience is too far away for me to get’ specifically #or the implications of what he’s saying sometimes… what im trying to say is i get why the fh maintag is so pissed abt whatever im doing #you have to think about it a bit to Get It i think. Bc if you just turn your brain off while watching scott 3l its chill #meanwhile in the jimmy pov you get the episode 1 martyn intervention bullshit making you think about it from the start. Does this make sens #deranged.fh.posting

fascinating that the biphobes, who say that BG3 companions are not accurate as bisexuals/pansexuals, literally haven’t played the game!! they don’t know the characters or who they flirt with and choose to sleep with.

a textpost said that everyone is allowed to play the game as they want and romance characters with a character of any gender and one person commented that OP is a homophobe and Astarion “would be the biggest gay if not for making everyone playersexual.” I clicked on the username and they have a post stating “will buy that game just to play as the furry albino elf and have homophobes watch him get fucked by every dude” ok. sounds fun, I will do the same, I’ll simply also fuck every women. but no.when not everyone is playersexual, 80% of them just end up straight. the remainder mostly still bi and they would deny the bisexuality of those few as well. why do they feel so comfortable attacking bisexuality that they will even comment on bi characters when they are unfamiliar with a given piece of fiction

#if I never watched a tv show/read a book/played a game I sure don’t go on people’s posts #and make accusing statements towards fans how they are wrong to interpret characters AS THEY ARE IN CANON #also this is typical rhetoric that bi men are actually just gay (and bi women are just straight because everyone only wants men) #biphobia #anyway they don’t care what it’s like for bi people to hear this #that a person got called a homophobe for pointing out that bi/pan character IS bi/pan and bi people do sleep with women #they literally say they haven't bought the game yet #wtf #why have an opinion? #when I want to engage in conversation about characters/story first I watch/read/play that story #my post #my posts #tumblr bullshit #bisexual #characters #text post #Baldur's Gate 3 #BG3 #textposts #also there is definitely an element of misogyny in this... #after all I haven't seen anyone demanding that the bi female companions should only be paired with women #no it's the typical fandom thing where only male/male pairings are allowed and female charactes are treated like shit and pushed to the side #female characters not allowed in male/female pairings not even when both are bi/pan and potentially poly #and female/female pairings are just so rare they almost never show up... #and like I always say bi people get shit from both sides #the conservative side of this DOES exist... people who are annoyed that larian showed him making out with a man #it's just that they are an extreme minority on this website #but just because those conservatives and homophobes exist doesn't mean it makes it ok to deny a bi character's attraction to women #both are wrong and both are biphobic #both are a form of erasure

hi guys how do you feel about my incredible story where zim teleports dib and gaz on the massive as a sure way to get rid of them but the tallest hate zim so much that they just end up giving dib and gaz a bunch of awesome irken weapons so that they torture zim forever. there are many wacky shenanigans and funny jokes in my head surrounding this scenario. it just wont leave my head. theres like a whole narrative you know. i will never write it all down tho. because that would be a fanfic. and i would rather kill myself than write an invader zim fanfic. because im not an embarrassing weirdo

z*adrs dni and preferably disappear into thin air

cool gear gaz as a bonus

#my art #iz #invader zim #dib membrane #dib iz #gaz membrane #gaz iz #almighty tallest #almighty tallest red #tallest red #i might end up writing a fanfic about this whole thing but its gonna end abruptly because of dib and gaz fusing into a fleshy pile of meat #like in a freak teleportation accident. typical sci fi bullshit bla bla you get it. like THAT would actually be very funny #because of how anticlimactic it is. i would build this shit up like its goddamn starwars. the best most epic fanfic ever #and then it ends like that. yeah

LITTLE BABIES SPOTTED!!

#AWWWWWWWWWWWW <3 #this is from the 'prophecy' episode of Voyager #star trek screenshots #you better believe I'm looking at all these background Klingons to try to glean more about 'typical Klingon fashion' #bc every other Klingon we see on screen is on a starship in a battle which implies a uniform to me #It's the same problem with Betazoids v_v where the only fashion I can get is from Deanna's mom who is notably more rambunctious fashionably #than others #really it's the problem of most star trek aliens that aren't Vulcan or Bajoran #Also Tom saying 'the only Klingon I'm afraid of is my wife after she's worked a double shift' is the most boomer bullshit I've ever heard #Tom do you even like her??? #All you say about her to other people is how she's angry and scary - I'd fight him too

Belated munday post but the little one is settling in nicely! He's taken to watching me when he thinks I'm not looking at him, horrible camera quality as the angle is wonky but the tank looks better/is more sizable than it appears from the side!

Unfortunately I forgot that flash was enabled and he slipped back into his cool hide after. Sorry for startling you, sweetheart. 😔

#🐍 || ooc #;; mun bullshit #He's been here just over a week and seems to be settling in quite nicely <3 #Loves his pinkies and is getting better with handling #The first two times he was quite a bit more flightly #Today he was calmer and just slithering through my fingers nicely #Gonna leave him alone a day or two so he can keep settling in and he'll get another pinky in another couple of days #I have no idea how old he is but think he was a bit underfed #Needs more than a little pinky every week sagsfsf #Sorry to have been quiet today was mostly recouping and resting up all day #Didn't have much energy beyond typical chores but feeling way less sore/exhausted now :D #Ror's an anery corn btw! #He looks so much prettier irl than the camera shows all these lovely greys and blacks and mochas <3 #Will try and get something done tonight now I'm feeling a bit better about writing

Because you like it when I’m mad at you, don’t you, pet.

just called my psychiatrists office and turns out he's no longer on my insurence network and didn't even bother telling me during our last appointment so now I have two days to either find a whole new doctor & get an immediate appointment where they prescribe all of my medications with no hassle (literally impossible), come up with 400 fucking dollars (I have 13.95 in my bank account), or go cold turkey on all my meds and probably end up hospitalized from the withdrawal symptoms & locked up on a mandatory hold, forced on an antipsychotic and then saddled w/a 5,000 dollar bill for it. wouldn't be the first time!

#my new job still hasnt even told me when im actually starting yet either beyond just the shadowing & training 🤩 #its weird that they havent called i genuinely think they might have gone with the other candidate after all & just not told me #thatd be some typical thresholds bullshit lol #Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

The fact that Owen has literally gotten into physical fights and is so chaotic and impulsive that his own team members assume the HR visit is for him is really something that should’ve been talked about more in-show

#911 lone star #911 lone star spoilers #anti owen strand #(been trying not to post hate on him but my mom is behind lmao) #like and also the fact that Marjan #who happens to be a Muslim woc #is the one facing major issues and NOT the white man who is literally the captain and should be held more accountable #is such typical bullshit but again they don’t really address that inshow #Owen is a manbaby and I just desperately want him to grow up #and i am not looking forward to him making the Tarlos wedding planning drama about him #because everything has to be

So I knew the American physical education system was fucked up by my gods it really has fucked me up for life like

I am fat. That's just a thing, ya know? And gym class always sucked for me because I needed to get a good grade in Being FitTM but I was (and still am) fat and so gym was a struggle for me. Between trying to keep up for my grade and trying to keep up so people wouldn't make fun of me, my relationship with fitness was just incredibly fucked up since the moment I entered school

Nothing has made this more apparent to me than me being in a boxing class today thinking "you need to keep going otherwise you're going to get a bad grade" and like. I paid for this class. The trainer was an absolute sweetheart and encouraged us to rest or modify the exercise if we needed to. But my brain kept going "push yourself harder you need to be good or you'll fail and everyone will make fun of you" as if a class I paid for full of adults I don't know would really result in that

The American education sucks for a LOT of reasons. But fuck American physical education even more than the rest of it. It makes it impossible to actually be active

#literally half my final exam grade in gym in high school was the pacer test #if you didnt hit a certain threshold you failed #guess who didnt hit that threshold ever??? #gym teachers typically took pity on me and gave me a D so as not to fully tank my grade #but thats still bullshit #im enjoying my boxing class though #and trying to unlearn 12 years of bad education #so heres to progress i guess #pine throws thoughts into the void of tumblr
