#but they're fundamentally flawed

[skeine]

@cerismae really hit the nail on the head pointing out the fundamental hypocrisy of "How dare you consider Ludinus's position, he's a terrible person! He killed Orym/Fearne/Laudna/Orym's family!"

In the temple episode, the Bells Hells also killed innocent bystanders (two guards) in pursuit of what they thought was the right and noble thing to do (free the town folk from an oppressive leader).

How was this ok, but what Ludinus and Otohan did not? The parallels between Orym and Ludinus are striking. Both are willing to kill to achieve goals they think are noble and condone those they work with doing so.

Ludinus is also, just like the Bells Hells did in that town, starting a revolution against what he sees as systemic oppression. And when have those in power ever given up their privileges without being forced to? How many revolutions have succeeded without violence?

Matt's done a fantastic job muddying the waters and twisting the knife. I do wonder if this is keeping Orym up nights. It should.

#i still think predathos is too dangerous to set free #moleasmyr is hard evidence of that #but *the danger* of what ludinus is trying to do is the real argument #and getting buried under ad hominem attacks and appeals to emotion #which #i get the appeal #but they're fundamentally flawed #critical role #cr spoilers #cr meta #ludinus da'leth #c3e61 #orym of the air ashari #cr discourse #discourse #op

"It's normal for siblings to fight" Okay well it's not normal to be extremely classist and look down on your sister for being non-conforming. Or to go to the woman who ordered the death of your pet to tell her about your father's plans, when he specifically warned you against doing so, because you want to marry the boy you saw attack your sister and her friend (contributing partially to said father's death and your sister being unable to escape on the ship he chartered). Or to think of your sibling as unsatisfactory in comparison to another when you believe her to be dead. I notice that none of the "Sansa and Arya are going to reunite and instantly have no issues" crowd ever acknowledge any of this, which makes it seem like they don't actually believe what they say about their relationship being normal and easily reconciled. People wanting them to have no issues simply because they're siblings is another example of how fandom likes to flatten complex characters and relationships. They get reduced to being bickering siblings when their conflict runs deeper than that. If the author is telling you that they have "deep issues" to work out [X], I don't understand being so adamant about ignoring said issues. I also get the sense it's about ignoring the capacity for a certain character to be flawed, but that isn't going to change the fact that her "slip of the tongue" is very likely to be revealed and a source of further conflict 🤷🏾‍♀️

#arya stark #sansa stark #house stark #asoiaf #also if it's so normal for siblings to fight then why are you guys losing your minds over us theorizing they won't get along?? #the amount of condescending /that's just how siblings act/ takes I see 🙄 #sorry I guess? that we read the book and don't just delete parts of the story because we find it convenient? #it's not even like takes about them being enemies is widespread the most I see is that they aren't instantly bffs when they reunite 😭 #some people theorize they'll never be close but guess what? that's a completely fair and valid assumption based on their relationship! #personally I think they'll have a sweet reunion before the issues they have inevitably surface again because while they've been through #a lot they haven't fundamentally changed as people or the values they hold #and I think that's going to be very interesting to read about! #I can't figure out why people always take the most boring bland route for how things will play out #mostly because people seem to be unable to swallow the concept that Sansa is a flawed character who isn't perfectly sweet all the time #and the fact that their conflict is instigated by Sansa's classism #which is funny cause in the grand scheme of things her being mean to Arya is such a mild thing that opens the door to a ton of growth #never seen anybody but stansas equating her being a bully to her sister to her being evil/a villain #all we do is point out that it exists in the story...people in this fandom have no concept of nuance I stg 😭 #anyways they're both complex characters and their conflict is interesting and I hope we get to see how it plays out #cause it's definitely going to be better then that trash d&d came up with 🙏🏾

(sits down opposite you in a booth at a ice cream parlor) i think a really important point of shadowpeach after reconciliation is the interweaving of all facets of their relationship and them struggling to meld those into some kind of cohesive "friendship" or whatever

and what I mean is that, like, there's always going to be some underlying resentment because wukong did a murder. so on Macaque's part, there's always going to be this anger and resentment and this hate that he has to deal with while also trying to piece their relationship into something that fits.

there's always going to be some guilt on wukong's part because he did a murder. there's going to be some guilt and an understanding that if Macaque, at any point, doesn't want to be friends, wukong understands why because of what happened between them. so he's saddened by the fact that things could end at any point and he doesn't have the right to try and fight for their relationship. i don't think that would stop him, but he'd be aware of it.

and then there's always going to be these echoes of their past haunting them. of what they were. because on some level, they're both still grieving that. they both miss that time in their lives, and that leads to anger, especially on macaque's part, because he lost something he coveted and treasured. and wukong also, because even if he killed macaque accidentally, he's allowed to miss that time also. because he wishes with all his heart that they can return to that past where none of the bad shit happened.

and then there's the threat of what they are now. broken and shattered people, jaded and knowledgeable of the world, they see these crumbled pieces and the feelings dwelling within themselves and look to each other and say, "Hey, can we really fix this? Can this really turn into something tangible and discernible?"

because the whole point -- (moves and sits beside you in the booth) the whole point is that they look at that scattered mess and decide yes, it's a broken mess that can become something worthy of being looked at. and though it's going to take time to put the pieces together and, in so doing, it's possible that we mishandle the pieces and they break further or the glue we're using doesn't work. and one of us may give up for a while, but we have to keep going.

the process of piecing their relationship together is difficult. they can cut themselves, hurt themselves or each other intentionally or unintentionally. it's a messy process. it's tricky and annoying and frustrating but, despite that, they both decide to keep working on it together.

and that's the reconciliation process. because we get to see that ugliness. it's not this pretty thing. it's not perfect and not everything it solved. it's only the beginning because, in reconciling, they both looked at that mess of pieces on the floor and then looked to each other and said, "Yeah, we can fix this."

but the thing also is -- this is wukong and macaque. and they're a little stupid. and they're prone to mistakes. so whatever they make at the end, whatever they piece together...

chances are it's not going to be beautiful at all.

#constellations fic #idk do you guys ever lie awake at night thinking about this kind of stuff #i think the inherent thought of “wukong and macaque will create something beautiful together” is fundamentally flawed #beauty is what they were in the past. and even then it was an imperfect lie. they didn't know each other. not truly #now that they're here #they get to see the ugly truths of themselves. and while looking at that #they can't help but make something fucked up. just like they are #but maybe. to them. that is beautiful #constellations shadowpeach

you guys i have so many thoughts about tdr. i have so much to say. like i don't want to be super mean but dude that comic fucking sucks and i can't lie i think it made me kind of homophobic actually

#my stance up to now has been that i don't really care about tim/ber but now that i have read this. dude... #it sucks that they gave a canon queer tim narrative to someone who uses homophobia as shock value and virtue signaling points #and who actively tears down characters who don't like her special little uwu flawless oc (kate im so fucking sorry) #there's no substance to this relationship i don't see why they even like each other #bc she keeps just stating oh they're perfect they make each other so happy but she doesn't like. show that at all #and i HATE the shock value homophobia like i cannot overstate how much i hate it #oh these random cops are homophobic (that's how you know they're BAD!) #oh bernard's parents are homophobic (that's how you know THEY'RE bad too!) #it's so hamfisted and it reads like such. cheap storytelling #especially bc tim as narrator doesn't even get to have ANY thoughts on his own queerness or seeing this homophobia in the world around him #and then she can't go more than two pages without being like BTW BERNARD IS THE BEST EVER AND TIM CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM #while against this ugly backdrop of shock value homophobia #there's no substance to this relationship. why do they even like each other. it just falls apart if you examine it at all #because she just is fundamentally incapable of writing either of them as people with character flaws #for fucks sake she can't even be consistent with tim's BASIC character tenets. ''i always dreamed of being batman'' false lmao #but then to follow it up with ''i never wanted to be batman i always wanted to be my dad'' #and then on TOP OF THAT to make the Only mention of Jack drake and his impact on tim's life ABOUT BERNARD AGAIN. #yeah sorry im a hater now. this was shit tier #rimi talks

okay. i need to rewatch the episode probably but i think my current feeling is that i like most of it a lot (rome, ken, the siblings not getting ceo, etc), think the tom ceo makes sense from a logical/character perspective but not sure how i feel about it from a broader more thematic lens (altho i'm leaning towards fine with it), and am very mixed on shiv's ending because i think it's well-conceived and meaningful from a broader thematic lens (shiv becomes her mother, the cycle always repeats, etc) but doesn't quite make sense to me from a logical/character one -- it could've worked, it could've worked brilliantly, but it was far too rushed and forced. it makes sense as an ending for shiv, but not her next step. i'm largely talking about her decision to return to tom, not her decision to vote against kendall (which i think should've been executed better and given more space but can understand given her character, mostly). i'm fine with it as an ending for shiv, but what i'm struggling to stomach is the way it played out -- it didn't feel like a choice the shiv we know would've made. it's an ending that makes sense thematically and for her character arc, but not a decision that makes sense for her character at present. that's kinda where i'm at right now

#long shiv post talking ab this upcoming lol #bc so far i haven't seen like any shiv takes i've actually agreed with #it's either entirely anti ending or pro ending #whereas like. to me the ending works as an ending for the character. it's tragic dark devastating but it works and works well #but shiv making that choice does not make sense for where she is right now. it was rushed writing that forced an ending on her #that would be a satisfying ending but not a satisfying character choice and thus NOT a super satisfying ending #could've been EXTREMELY satisfying. but shiv wasn't there yet. her fatal flaw is blowing up good situations when she feels she's being #disrespected -- she's respect > power when it comes down to it #even tho she thinks she wants power more she NEEDS respect and is unable to stay quiet or make the smart choice in the face of disrespect #or men thinking they're superior etcetcetc. so her making a choice that allots her power (wife of CEO) but is the singular least respecting #outcome imaginable (meekly returning to your husband who betrayed you and stole the job you've been fighting for your entire life right out #of your grasp alongside your closest ally/flirt guyfriend who tapped him to do it explicitly to fuck you over because you're a pregnant #woman and thus inferior to the man who inseminated you -- and EVERYONE KNOWS ALL OF THIS! everyone knows you're the daughter of #the previous CEO and on two separate instances were meant to be CEO and now the weak man you married publicly betrayed you TWICE #but you still meekly return to him and place your hand in his and have his baby like the good pawn you are...) #that does not make sense for shiv. if we saw some development on the power > respect front or had a few more scenes or episodes developing #shiv as someone who would choose to become her mother (powerful and rich yet a disrespected pawn) over literally anything else #given her fundamental fear of being disrespected than maybe this would've made sense. it could be a great meaningful devastating ending #but it's one that just does not track for shiv as we know her right now. #ok tags got long as always sorry LOL i'm gonna write a longer thing explaining my hashtag thoughts bc i haven't seen much i agreed w on thi #front yet oops. ok bye 4 now tee hee #succession #succession spoilers #casey shut the fuck up about shiv roy

Someone explain to me why Fredrick Vesti, a Merc junior who has shown promise, isn't even in contention for a seat. But Kimi Antonelli, who hasn't even driven a F2 car, is being groomed as the next big thing in F1? And he's in all of these headlines and articles? Y'all are setting that child up for failure with these huge expectations!

#granted you arent entitled for a f1 seat even if you do well in f2 #but this whole situation is bizzare to me #i think the way merc its drivers is wack #well all driver programs have fundamental flaws but merc is at the center of attention rn so they're catching strays #f1 #formula 1 #f2

i know i kinda have a reputation to uphold as an astarionposter but like. he's not even my fav character in bg3...

#my ranking of the companions would be: #1. shadowheart 2. jaheira 3. lae'zel 4. astarion 5. wyll 6. halsin 7. karlach 8. gale and then minsc/minthara bc i haven't recruited either #idk i just really love how jaheira was portrayed in bg3 and i feel like she doesn't get enough love #+ lae'zel's story arc may not be as compelling to me personally as astarion's but. gith lore is like my absolute fav thing and i love her s #and i've already talked loads about how shadowheart is my no. 1 #re: wyll i actually really like him and he would've been ranked higher if i hadn't played early access. i miss his more playful side tbh #halsin ranks higher than karlach or gale because of how much his being canon polyam means to me. also he's funny as hell #karlach and gale's stories just didn't resonate as hard with me ig?? i love them all they're just not my favs #there's literally no companion i actively dislike which is v strange bc in most games i usually HATE at least one. #in dao i HATED sten. in da2 it was seb. in dai it was cassandra. in poe2 it was pallegina. in nwn2 it was bishop. in wotr it was daeran #anyway i could go on and on about how larian made fundamentally flawed but still likable characters. i just love them sm. #edit: even though gameplay-wise wotr is one of my top games ever. i actively hated like half of the companions lmao #lmk if you want me to make a post about who i like and why in pfwotr bc i am Very Opinionated

So now that the musical is coming out, I'm so excited but also nervous

#like interpret the relationship however you want #i just hope that we don't get *those* people who think shipping jally (friends with a relationship that could be interpreted as familial) #is problematic (i know it sounds dramatic but there's so many people like this) #personally i don't like seeing jally's relationship as older brother figure/younger brother figure #like platonic or qpp jally is 💖💕💗 #but pigeonholing them into a brother dynamic feels like forcing certain roles onto them #dally being an older brothee who feels responsibility towards johnny and taking care of him #and johnny looking up to dally and wanting to be like him #like that is a part of their relationship a very fundamental one #but they're also equals??? #like not that siblings aren't equals ofc #but they have power dynamics and roles (which aren't inherently bad!!!) #like take the curtises #their ages and order are such fundamental parts of them and are the foundation of their dynamic #but johnny and dally are different #they feel like they would have that power dynamic #but we learn for all of dally's pride and power he's willing to throw that away and even admit yo vulnerability for johnny #while johnny doesn't idolize dallt but sees all his flaws and imperfections and admires him not inspite but because of them #ugh idk how to explain it but yeah #the outsiders #johnny cade #dallas winston #jally #se hinton #dally winston #the only reason i want to see people hating on jally is because they find the shippers annoying or something #in which cause ty<33

My brain just has a random epiphany for no reason about the FASHION INDUSTRY of all things and now I'm just supposed to go back to normal???

#literally all the words in the fashion industry are bogus #LITERALLY ALL OF THEM #none of these numbers matter nor will they ever #because the way in which we view bodies and clothes is fundamentally flawed #conforming to a standard only warps the standard as the standard isn't moderated by who is wearing the clothing #but by who is selling it #and the people selling it aren't using real bodies to see how it looks #but instead they're using bodies that DO NOT PHYSICALLY EXIST and trying to shove everything into a already corrupted standard #'skinny' clothes are so small that literally NO ONE can fit them #'plus sized' has never catered to fat people nor will it EVER #'fat' isn't an option at all #plus sized really just means 'not skinny but not fat with a very specific set of parameters for body shape' #like #LITERALLY WHAT IS THE POINT #we can't just walk around naked #if not for social reasons #just practicality reasons #but it's not like anything we currently have makes sense either #clothes are not designed for bodies #they're designed for mannequins #IF that because a lot is designed for digital mannequins that don't EXIST #literally any way we try to term clothes is a joke because clothes don't function as clothes anymore! #alright im outta here #abluehappyface #💫 Desireé 💫

where the hell are all the yulilara posts I could have sworn I had more yulilara posts on this blog than the one drawing I made MYSELF multiple years ago.

#I've been thinking abt it for the past three weeks nonstop... it's such an in-reach pairing per the history we KNOW they have that I'd #expected there had already been way more content. like it's about equally as textually based as andrey/grief and YET. partly I think bc #yulia/eva overshadows it due to being unavoidable canon but for the love of god her breakup with lara is so character relevant to them... #colors yulia's love for eva especially because it's the SAME fundamental ideological incompatability she had w lara... like the point of #yuliaeva is that it's doomed; yulia can't save eva and eva will never choose yulia above her ideals... and it being a repetition of what #happened w/ lara is VITAL to showing yulia's hypocrisy and irrationality which is her basic character flaw as a Humble... AND ITS ALL FOR #LOVE EVEN!!! in short please send any relevant images or posts I KNOOOOOW they're out there

when I first started my job, I'd often overplay my emotional detachment to it because I had moved from a high-emotional/personal-involvement industry into a soulless corporate one.

and to, like, justify that decision and explain it to my high-emotional/personal-involvement peers from that old industry, I'd be like "lol I don't really care, you know? the job suits my skill set and I can do it, so it's all good:)"... but I've come to the realization that I actually really enjoy doing the labor of my job and it's weirdly hard to admit that!!

#I think it's because I enjoy the LABOR of my job and don't necessarily believe in the bigger corporate mumbo-jumbo #and also because [mumble mumble about transitioning from working in a pretty ethical industry to a..... not.... ethical one] #which is FUNNY because my calling was deeply NOT my previous industry in any way shape or form #but I could get behind the mission and did fundamentally believe we were doing ''good'' (if flawed) + deeply necessary work #whereas there is a LOT more ethical ambiguity in my new world #(+ some straight up ''oh dear that conflicts with my personal principles ohhhh'' moments lmao though they're high-level and way beyond me) #so it's in some way harder to feel GOOD about the work because it lacks the specific nature of my previous one #and it's like objectively less fulfilling even though it's improve my QoL a lot #which is its OWN issue because then it's like ''oh well I got mine! who cares if it involves EVIL LOBBYISTS!'' #(which is like. babe you are so deeply not actually connected to that and just because a guzzling corp cuts your checks doesn't mean you're #responsible for literally anything they do. in fact KEEP taking their money!) #ANYWAYS I worked on a project all afternoon and had fun with it and felt pleased with my efforts so 👍 #now I'm gonna go get ready to visit some coworkers from my previous job; we're gonna have a bad movie night and I'm bringing snacks :)

but like i am so serious. the akito-honami besties agenda. you are all going to look at it and understand it someday very soon (i finally drafted out a coherent pretty long fic about them becoming friends in my head) i’m making this everybody else’s problem

#LISTEN. they are both big soft sweeties who love to take care of their friends (as much as akito tends to hate to admit it) #they are both easily flustered and they both have a massive sweet tooth #they both struggle with abandonment issues and feeling like they're the weak link in their music/friend groups #honami is soft-spoken but she has this unwavering courage and determination about her that rivals akito's #just as he does she continues to persevere. and move forward. and seeks out constant self-improvement #just as he is she is always aware of her flaws and they both want to overcome them and prove everyone who ever doubted them WRONG #and their respective circles of friends overlap they're like . 1 and 1/2 degrees of separation from each other #like *gestures at honami's new friendship with ena* SHE'S RIGHT THERE. they are so close to Meeting #they would just Click on a fundamental level. i don't think friendship would be literally instant between them #but once they know who the other is they'll see that like 'oh shit we know all the same people and go to all the same places huh' #and they'll inevitably be drawn together. and then <3 besties. leave me alone

Robin fic snippet

“C’mere,” he murmured, rough.   Held out his arms, and it was just as easy as it had ever been. Breathing, touching Elle. His heart was beating, and so he was here with her.   Elle, who looped her arms and around his neck and pressed her face into his shoulder. “Still sorry I scared you.”   Jason was sorry he’d wasted so much fucking time.   Reeled her in by the waist in degrees, a hesitance that had nothing to do with how badly he wanted to be close to her and everything to do with her comfort. Elle fell forward with a sigh, briefly squeezing his sides with her knees before settling, sprawl easy.   “Tell me,” he said, turning to catch her eye, ignoring his own acidic, corrosive dread, “About the Pit.”   She touched his jaw. Made a gentle, featherlight line down toward his chin.   “It’s magic,” Elle whispered, like a secret, hushed, “Just magic. Not good or evil.”   Jason tried not to think about how much it had hurt. Sometimes the years strung together in one long chain- his ribs breaking, his bones cracking, his lungs seizing, his hands torn, his whole body burning from the inside out. He’d died ugly, more than once, been reborn what seemed like much the same.   “It’s something,” he told her.   Elle nodded. “The oldest magic- most powerful magic, is always simple. Lazarus is a miracle so old it predates the name. A source so potent it works even on nonmagical people.”   A miracle? No. But it had led him to miracles. Let Jason Todd live long enough to be here, arms full of magic.   “That’s why,” she let go of his face to gesture toward her own eyes. “Rituals are exchanges. You give it your death, and it gives you life. You come to it bloody, it makes you whole. You’re alive, and so it lives through you.”   Talia, with the calm she used to deliver all terrible truths, every warning, it will live through you. It will be with you, forever. Harder to regret than usual in this second- the heart of the story, the secret he told no one that never stopped being at least partially true: Jason had always wanted to live. Always wanted his life to matter, the way he’d come back to Gotham and realized it hadn’t, not in the way he thought.

#the Gotham chokehold on my heart continues! #Pit madness? #I'm sorry you mean incredibly bad all in choices and indescribable trauma? #Jason who always died! #Jason who always CAME BACK #we've crashed through the angst to get terribly tender #also we return to what is turning into my Signature Antic: Something Sexy in a Bathtub #we have to drag up the past to move into the future! #the recontextualizing is FRAUGHT #a fundamental shift to: going to hold onto this thing i want for as long as possible until life inevitably tears it away #this story asks a lot of sweeping questions #and a lot of silly ones #but mostly it's about how you can't survive and be the person you were #and that's not a flaw of design #its not a problem #god they're SO MUCH #migration patterns of turdidae

sometimes i think about all those stupid job affinity tests that they made us take in like junior high/high school bc like kids it's all a lie!!! they're lying to you those tests are a shot in the dark and you should just do any job that will pay you and doesn't literally make money off of Death and Misery and if you're lucky is halfway interesting

#my employer's opinions #like??? just tell kids to try a bunch of stuff out and follow whatever feels/sounds interesting i don't care #fuck capitalism #idk i just think that telling kids what field they should dedicate the rest of their lives to based off of like... what subject they're #best at in 8th grade is a fundamentally flawed system. obviously they were just suggestions but i feel like it's all kind of pointless idk #idk! just my opinion idk

I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw or a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently

#the way some people (usually lestat fans lol) talk about louis being an unreliable narrator has frustrated me #i still insist louis' unreliableness is mostly subtle (passing quickly over things he doesn't want to think about #presenting things that factually happened in a way he can build a story that makes sense to him #not knowing what lestat is thinking and feeling so interpreting him differently than lestat himself probably would) #rather than he's telling something that didn't really happen or is under armand's mind control or something #like for example i think it's been made very clear all the abuse really happened they're not gonna suddenly pull the rug from under it #if anything i feel lestat is going to turn out to be even worse than louis perceived him when we hear people who are not in love w him lol #keanu.txt
