#but like not annoyed bored but sad bored

The reason this fandom hates IDW Optimus isn't because he's a cop (plenty of people are fine with Prowl) or because he's a bastard (most characters in IDW are) but because he commits the crime of being an actual person who's messy, flawed, and makes a shitload of high stakes mistakes fitting for the intense situations and pressure he's put under constantly.

But we can't have Optimus actually react to his situations by lashing out or being unpleasant, no, he has to have the personality of a cardboard cutout of G1 whose only defining personality traits are "dad, funny, nice," and if he ever vents negative emotions it can only ever be #relatable depression or him being sad on his own without ever letting it show during the important parts of the story. If Optimus dares do things like be angry or frustrated or bitter it's just a sign that he's a bastard and LITERALLY the worst Optimus ever. If Optimus ever makes mistakes or does wrong things in the heat of anger/frustration/stress it's because he's just an evil bastard with no redeeming traits.

God forbid Optimus go through an unending gauntlet of war, politics, atrocities, near-complete loneliness, and a seemingly endless cycle of violence for his entire life and come out of it kind of bitter, angry, and tired of dealing with people's shit. He's not allowed to be a realistic person, context doesn't matter, sympathy doesnt matter. IDW Optimus doesn't fulfill the fandom's fantasies of Father Figure or Perfect Cultural Icon or Twinky Fucktoy and since that's the only reason most people care about Optimus in general, the fandom collectively trashes on IDW OP.

All because he can't fit into the overly simplified and childlike double standard the fandom has where if any other character is messy and flawed, that's good writing and interesting and compelling, but if OPTIMUS is messy and flawed, he's Literally The Worst and he's an asshole for no other reason than He Sucks, context be damned

#squiggposting #ive been here too long and seen the same shit too many times #i'm tired of going 'maybe it's just a difference in taste' nope #the issue is literally just double standards and people not reading the text or taking things out of context #and the worst part is if this were just something OP haters did i would get it #after all if you just dont like OP then of course you arent gonna find anything interesting or compelling #but i see this shit from literally other MOP fans who supposedly love M and OP #but their OP takes are shit and i can count the no. of people who write IDW OP on one hand #i kind of thought that at least among other OP fans there would be deeper readings but if anything it's worse #fandom OP content is 50% haha funny dad jokes g1 knockoff OP and 50% yaoi uke twink sad baby OP #so unimaginative. so fucking boring. so immature #to style yourselves some sort of mature TF fans and then viciously reject the One OP who #dared to be written a little darker and more flawed than any others #it's literally just people refusing to give a chance to any nuanced take on OP #they just want him to be There and Nice and for his biggest flaw to be Being Annoying About Equality or something #might delete later might not

normal thing to say about your dear friend who you think is really cute and charming and hard-working and basically the perfect wife material

#hamefura #my next life as a villainess #otome game no hametsu flag #aaand rewatch done! now my honest thoughts #good start. the middle is kinda boring. ep 8 doesn't exist don't worry about it #this anime draws me in in the same way that Futari Wa does #in that it has a fascinating main cast and a very vague skeleton of a worldbuilding that leaves me wanting to overthink it #unstructured thoughts incoming: #Geordo's still a creep and no matter how much the story wants me to like him I just can't #Keith's siscon is very Yikes! and that's so bad because I love his and Katarina's relationship as siblings #Katarina lowkey thinks Sophia is a freak but never kinkshames her and that's so bestiecore of her. they're soulmates your honor #Mary is SUCH A LESBIAN holy shit. I did not remember how much lesbian she is #I'm lowkey annoyed that the show frames her attraction to Katarina as “haha funny isn't she weird?!” #like in the sleepover episode she was describing the things she'd like to do with her beloved and she's being like. normal about it #but the soundtrack does a silly and I'm like. wow this anime does not like her huh #I swear Geordo and Keith are even weirder about Katarina than she is but the anime always gives them slack about it #unless they're having their homoerotic squabbles. which is to say the anime does Not Like The Queer Coding of the story #I'm sure there are worse examples of weeb homophobia but there are a couple moments I saw in the manga but not here! #anyway where was I. Oh right. Ascart Sibs Autusm 👍🏼 #Nicol doesn't have much presence in the story due to his quiet nature which is so sad because his inner world is intriguing #he's such a good friend. loyal and caring. I wish we got more of him in this season #and finally: Maria. God. what is there to say about her that I haven't already #the girl came in with a 7 year disadvantage on her rivals and yet Katarina is all over her! #rewatching season 1 is so weird because I could swear she had more presence than she really does because holy shit #Katarina loves her! so much! wtf #maybe I'm remembering season 2? #anyway these are my thoughts on doomflags season 1 #2nd watch edition #oh I almost forgot #romance in chiaroscuro

I will say it's always hilarious to me just how incessantly dating apps want to advertise to me, aromantic and laughing it up all the while

#aro #aromantic #lgbt #lgbtq #i hate hate hate how annoying the ads are though #who would win: dating apps and a ~new~ plan b pill or one (1) aroace #i'm tempted to download them just to fuck around and find out the fuss but i know i'd get sooo bored on them #also there are few trans people in my area (RIP) and i don't feel like having a Gender Seminar for every single cis person who'd DM me #feel like this is a nice pick-me-up post because the last post is me being bitter and sad 👍

did not know I would have a strong emotional reaction to this, but rich people leaning into edge lighting & led strip lighting in upscale home decor disgusts me lmao

update: it's a render but I still despise it

#it looks cheap! but worse than that it looks boring and not fun #like I don't even actually LIKE it when it's NOT in institutional greige monochrome diet brutalism minimalist homes #but I definitely don't like it in those settings... it feels retrofuturist but like. shitty tron #like a 2001 a space odyssey treatment of a paralegal office #and let me just say as a rock collecting bitch the steven universe years were a LITTLE annoying #but the werner herzog sad beige children marble decor trend is fucking atrocious. first of all step your pussy up and get granite. #but also why are you living like a depressed scandinavian flintstone. #would some color kill you? contemplate that while you ride your dinosaur to work at the barefoot rock smashing factory

yall know pedro is gonna be okay right

#not trying to dismiss any feeling heres im sad too #but cmon #‘he deserves it’ ofc he does so many actors and actresses have been passed over for awards they deserve #frankly though too many long deserving black women won this season for me to be sad 🤪🤪🤪 #also yall better be easy on the bear!!!! succession i get being annoyed at bc it’s genuinely boring lmfao #(on season 1 and i just dont get it sue me. acting is good tho) #like remember when youre insulting shows like the bear for simply being good ur insulting ayo edebiri #which is…….. not okay with me #frankly i hope pedro gets awards for stuff beyond tlou bc that zionist n*** deserves nothing #pedro pascal

Bench time ♥️ last official day of class maybe ever, just gotta turn a few things in

#annoyed that i'm sad annoyed that i want to be celebrating but i'm really just exhausted #but we stay silly #i mean in a couple of years i'm sure i'll get bored & go back to school if i can manage it #it's not like my last time to celebrate anything ever #it's just i worked really hard to even get this far and get out of my hometown #and pushed through a lot of stuff that wasn't really school related. the degree itself wasn't difficult i was just in hell at the time #took forever #i just wish i could feel some type of victory or like excitement for the future or. vindication that i didn't quit or something u know? #anyway. enough about that time to refocus on stuff i am excited about #sitting in the sun getting good snacks working on my fics watching funny sitcoms

so the tree at the end of loki was Yggdrasil, right?

#that would mean loki is literally the life supply of the world tree #implications are mind blowing #would implicate some timey whimey stuff #loki #loki season 2 spoilers #norse mythology #yggdrasil #loki's arc was sad but also badass #from being the spare to the most important being #loki's glorious purpose #he's just there to suffer #tbh i still don't get the deal with the timey dude #like maybe i'm stupid can someone explain #what's his DEAL fr?? #also hot take but he was annoying #and a pretty boring villian/antihero #ravonna was good though #idk whether it's me but i prefer that even though there was no lokius endgame they didn't outright reject it either #like it's probably queerbaiting #but a small consolation #just word vomited all over this

[juniperhillpatient]

I have a disease called being incapable of caring about fictional wrongs unless it directly impacts characters I already care about like oh he’s a serial killer who’s tortured multiple women? so? Idk them so why should I care lol

#the serial killer’s sister #like I’m still on his side since he had a sad childhood & has a complex relationship with his sister #I hope she helps hide him #if this is just her running from him I’ll be annoyed & bored lol #book tag

aromantics need to take over every industry NOW

#I'm ANNOYED. not in an earnestly sad way but just like #everything keeps being about romance!! and it's fucking boring!!!! #my friend is playing bg3 and it seems cool and all but there's so much emphasis on romance and sex #mostly in the fandom but partly in the way the game's relationships are structured #and like. I'm so dead serious. that shit's boring #give me a best friend mechanic in every game #I want the exact same vibes but it's all purely platonic #I want all the emotional deepcuts but NO KISSING #that can all be an option obv #but I wish a romantic storyline wasn't the only one that could have depth yk #idk I haven't actually played the game bc my shitty pc cannot handle that #maybe it's actually cool and chill and you can do all the same stuff as with the romance plotlines as Besties #but. kinda doubt it #and that's not what anyone is talking about regardless #if I don't get a narrative without romance in it Right Now I'm going to start biting #I mean it

[hairtusk]

it really does totally and utterly baffle me that people are so stuck in their own boring lives that any action deemed even vaguely out of the norm is *clearly* a desperate grab for clout and attention from people like them.

#it was annoying at first but now it's borderline hilarious #like. wow. you seriously can't comprehend of any way of living that isn't in the dichotomy of :: #'my way (the normal way' and 'poser' #you people live like this? so terrifyed to break for social norms that you instinctively kick out at people who do ? #what sad small boring lives you all lead. no wonder you're going fucking insane.

#watching old adam videos about the colleen situation bc i never knew the full story #and the treatment of victims in this and other situations like it is so tiring #as a survivor who isn’t able to get justice it means so much to see her get so much backlash and to see the victims be heard #but being reminded about how conditional some ppls love and support for victims is sucks #like they want to baby you and be entertained by you #but if you talk about it too much then they’ll be annoyed #how else are people supposed to work through their trauma #like would you treat someone irl how youre treating these ppl online???? #a victim is a human who deserves to tell their story how they see fit #you are not a king yelling at his court jesters to play ring around the rosie in front of you #at least respect the bravery they have telling their story in front of so many ppl #and the fact that we as survivors almost have to expect being torn apart #is sad #a grooming/sa victim is not a toy for you to micromanage or play with #you cant just throw them/the situation away bc you’re bored #i mean you technically can but remember that they dont get to do that #saying ‘i kind of believe colleen now bc you won’t stfu’ like imagine that #do you even think before you speak #📜.scrolls #🫁.vent #tw sa mention #tw grooming

[dreamy-channie]

sometimes im really thankful i have chan's bubble bc sometimes i just wanna put a thought out to someone and it feels so much less burdensome to just send it to chan and know he wont ever see it in the bubble inbox, but its okay cause its just nice to get it off my chest

#marshmallow musings #sad hours i guess #brain no feel the best but it happens a lot when ur boring and annoying like me <3

[jinxiguess]

#follow up to the best book poll i made like a billion years ago #for me its light its really sad but also boring at the same time #always hate how characters ESPECIALLY jack and orc were killed for shock value and not much else #plus gaia is annoying #gone series #the gone series

[perenlop]

oh havent been sharing my trigun stampede opinions here as much have i. uhhhhhhh its good really beautiful show visually and i dig the darker tone and knives’s new look and deal + more insight into wolfwood but man do i wish roberto would die

#he is so lame. where the fuck is milly #hes not awful or anything but hes so painfully boring to me like he adds nothing but more sad men #when vash and wolfwood fill that quota just fine (and a lot better than he seems to be) #in the dub i can barely tell his voice apart from wolfwoods too so thats annoying #like. milly filled his roll just fine! if u wanna have a seasoned mentor figure and a newbie whos reckless #then just have the meryl/milly dynamic as normal #‘’oh but meryls character would have to be tweaked if you want a hardass mentor’’ well they had no issue changing wolfwood did they #im six episodes in and all hes done is be boring and make snarky comments to meryl #yeah this is totally better than the meryl and milly duo guys #echoed voice

*sigh* something something the two-dimensionality of saeru's characterisation is a writing flaw, not a feature, and trying to pass it off as a feature whilst berating anyone who sees it as a flaw is uh. A Choice

#like we all know jin's writing isn't exactly stellar #kgpr got popular because of the characterisation of the Protagonists #but jin writes saeru poorly. I've never believed otherwise #he only really tried to do something interesting with the character in the manga... but saeru was always more of a symbol. which is Boring #but again #not the Main Point of kgpr so it's not a big deal #but that isn't to say that making saeru interesting weakens the narrative??? #just that the story functions without him being overly complex and stuff #some of themes however are so Fucked by his character it's so sad #could write a whole essay about how shit the whole idea of monsterhood becomes when saeru is presented the way he is outside of the manga #that entire spiel seto has about “real monsters” in novel 8 is so eugh #I'd love to pretend that's just his perspective but it's so clearly word of god #I also feel like shutting down arguments in favour of deeper characterisation with “well he's a metaphor for trauma” #inadvertently oversimplifies trauma #I have more to say but I'm tiredddd #txt #not tagging and shit because I don't want people in my notes arguing with a wall #idc if you like your saeru simple I just hate the fact that people frame it as right/wrong thing #I think when people complain about complex saeru weakening the narrative they're more so annoyed that some fans #want to give him the same sort of complexity the protags have #like I promise you I'm not trying to turn him into a hero here lol I just think jin couldn't write him very well #and there are things to explore with the little things jin Did write #idk why the concept of even thinking about those things annoys some people sm #“he's a murderer” he's a narrative tool within a story. some guys in a corner brainrotting over him won't make Your blorbos less interestin #or make his actions widely justified/glorified #I Promise

[mag200]

one thing about christopher hayden is like he's not inherently an awful person yknow? like he's just a fucking tool

#also his particular brand of rich white lazy charisma makes me wanna punch him fr #i think its more annoying to me in particular bc i grew up watching this show so like #when i was a little kid i really liked him i thought he was charming! and now im like ohhhhhh i see. hes boring AND an asshole. #i also just. hate hate hate how lorelai acts whenever hes around and it makes me so sad for her she is too good for him #and i hate it for rory bc he could never be normal about being her dad if it didnt include being with lorelai #gilmore girls
