honestly i get whiplash bc I see takes that are like "jkr HATED SNAPE he's her least favourite character and she mistreated him" and then immediately I'll see someone else b like "jkr LOVED SNAPE he was woobified and his actions excused" . ladies calm down. he is simply complex and multifaceted. he is beautiful yet ugly. he is hateable yet lovable. he is brave yet cowardly. he is beyond our understanding and yet he lives in every one of us.

David Xanatos being a villain and a role model,and being effective at both accounts,is something that cracks me up.

What do you think would be the closest thing to a happy ending for Evan?
okay, i've been hoarding this ask for a while because it's honestly a really tough one for me to answer.
A lot of people point to the happiest day minigame, where a child gets thrown a birthday party before all the souls move on, as being Evan's "happy ending." He gets to have the birthday he never had, and the happy memory lets him move on from the Fredbear suit.
But. That interpretation doesn't sit right with me.
Narratively, is it nice that Evan gets to have the party he was denied? Yes, but that's looking at it in a narrative and purely symbolic sense. In other words, you come to that conclusion by looking at Evan as a character in a story, rather than as a person.
Evan's birthday in 1983 wasn't just tragic because he didn't get to have a happy birthday party. It was tragic because he was a victim of abuse at the hands of a brother he loved and wanted to be loved by, and that abuse ultimately culminated into his own accidental murder.
And as sweet an image as it is, a group of ghost kids that Evan doesn't know giving him some cake and birthday balloons wouldn't help Evan come to terms with that abuse. The birthday party was a symptom of his trauma, not the cause, and for Evan to have a happy ending we're gonna have to address the cause.
I think, at his core, Evan just wants to be loved. A group of kids he doesn't know all that well deciding that they care about him enough to give him a happy memory would mean a lot to him, but I think any happy ending for Evan MUST have Evan address the abuse he went through and how horrific it was that he just wanted his brother and father's love and died without either.
So, I think the basics of any happy ending for Evan would be Evan coming to understand that he didn't deserve any of the things Mike did to him, and that he really was worthy of love. Any happy ending for Evan would have Evan come to understand that the world is an awful and terrible place where you don't always get the good things you deserve but get horrible things you could never have deserved; but Evan would also come to the understanding that he has control over his own life and can take steps toward his own happiness, and can find a place where the people make him feel loved like he deserves. The world is a horrible, scary place but you can find pockets of happiness within them, you can make those pockets of happiness for yourself and others and hold onto them with everything that you have.
I'd like to think that a happy ending for Evan would be 1) him actually being able to understand the abuse he faced, why he didn't deserve that abuse, and why Mike did it to him in the first place [rather than being left in the dark wondering and guessing at why Mike hurt him so much], 2) him getting to be happy with the new understanding that he deserves to be loved and cared for, 3) him actively being loved and cared for, 4) him getting to help others the way he wished someone would help him for all that time.

im sleepy after a rly long shift today so this wont make much sense probably!! but!! i love starscream so much!! and!! even better!! i know he loves me!!!! i have never felt this confident about any F/O’s love for this long, except plankton -- but starscream is different. plankton has his soft spots (depending on who portrays him) but starscream has none.
starscream is shown as evil, awful, terrible. no altruistic moments. no friendships, none lasting. he shows no concern for anyone other than himself in the entire series (or lets be real, most iterations). he is the most self serving self interested bastard character i have ever come across in any shows i’ve watched. im so used to villains who have even the smallest scene where they’re like “alright ill do this one nice thing to help you but then it’s back to being evil” or “i will tolerate ONE person and one person only” but starscream shows zero kindness to anyone he meets, and even when he does, it’s all false. it’s all to save his own spark or for him to gain the advantage in a situation. out of all my villain F/Os, he seems like he is the most incapable of any sort of positive connection with anyone, much less falling in love w/ a human who cannot rly offer anything of use to him
yet i watch him on that screen be the most horrible awful evil terrible no-good piece of shit any universe has to offer, and i think “aww, he loves me. he loves me so goddamn much” in full confidence. i listen to his voice lines in the tfp videogame and almost everything he says is him growling and snarling damn near demonically about how worthless humans are, how worthless autobots are, how “none of you are worthy of me!!” and it fills me with so much damn pride!! because!! *i* get to be worthy!! i get to be that one (1) little human who makes those harsh biting words soften into gentle-spoken-long-kept-never-broken promises!!
shipping w/ villains is the best bc you get to be their one and only exception. like holy shit i get to have THIS guy wrapped around my finger? there is really no better feeling to me. i can love starscream and have 10000000% trust that he loves me too and that alone is just a feat in itself

Studying Greek mythology is so weird because like you start hearing about the likes of Zeus and Poseidon and Ares and all that and they’re all just kind of awful people?? But then you get to Apollo and it’s like ‘oh he’s the god of music and beauty and mathematics and he’s just such a nice and warm and good person :)’
And then you start hearing the stories about Apollo and literally every one is about him fucking over a mortal because idk they said they were better at the harp than him while they were drunk or he wanted to fuck them, with the one memorable exception of ‘Apollo is a deadbeat dad to his gay son who he gets killed.’
