One of my least favourite Tsumugi misconceptions is that he's useless at being an idol. He's very good actually! It's pointed out multiple times in various stories by characters who are considered the top tier idols that Tsumugi is very good at his job, he's just also awkward and a bit clumsy off stage.

yea ! alot of misconceptions tend to stem from people getting a taste of the character in a certain context and then assume theyd be the same in different contexts when thats rarely the case. like just look at tsumugis romancing cruise performance That shit changed me forever

i do understand why this happens though, or why small misconceptions are rather frequent and inadvertently lead to mischaracterizations at times. often times we just take a surface level view at things and, naturally, observe what it is we see and compare it to things we already know. like i said in my last post tsumugi is bashful, not shy, but if people only see his more awkward demeanor around certain people theyre obviously going to assume thats the characteristic he has because thats what most of us are familiar with

i dont want people to feel insecure in their portrayals though !! q__q and youre free to be as self-indulgent as you want when u create ur little crafts as im sure many of us are using these characters as a means of our own self-expression. god knows i do it! but is it also not just as fun to truly dig into the character and to try figuring them out from an unbiased perspective ? again its why i dont want to put them into boxes!!! theres so much to them and by only focusing on one or two of their characteristics you are doing them a disservice!! youre free to exclusively PORTRAY your favorite aspects ofc, create for you and not for others! but i just want their complexities to be acknowledged and recognized 💔💔 though thats just one of my selfish little desires

#its esp difficult because sometimes the misconception will be a Veeery minor thing #so it makes it hard to pinpoint #or put into words why it feels Off #but all of this is also subjective and just because i personally feel the portrayal is inaccurate doesnt mean it objectively is #and maybe these people arent even aiming for an accurate portrayal!! sometimes they just wanna have fun and we should let them!!!#sometimes it is also good to recognize that some portrayals just arent for us #and to move on and find a space where you feel people get the character the same way you do #though thats easier said than done ive blocked like the entirety of enstars twt bc of this lol ASKJFAHSDKJG #it does suck a bit when u feel ppl dont get the character like u do but oh well........ create the content u wish to see in this world ig #ask

man I wanna get in fh related fandom discourse but in like a quiet way where we all go around and directly share notes with one another. maybe a power point presentation is involved

#^ this is literally just. a debate. or a discussion. There are words for this #Ive noticed there are more or less like. Three distinct stances on fh people take depending on who they gaf about #I dont want to start Real Petty Discourse is the issue I just want to have a conversation… I want it so dearly…#I see fh fans get mad about toxic!fh takes and state that its wildly inaccurate. and I feel the need to argue but then its like well #I take a step back and go okay I see where theyre coming from actually. because a lot of toxic!fh takes are made with like.#only sad jimmy angst in mind. and so scott becomes the villain for those fics and I look at them and go. he would not fucking say that #BUT THEN ALSOOO I get where THATS coming from too because he’s very mean to jimmy in DL so when people want to write their sad jimmy fics #of course that’s where they’re going to go. because something is off about traffic!FH its true #so rancher shippers and such see that and go oh okay and run with it #Its just. Very interesting all around?#deranged.fh.posting #idk if anyone gets what im talking about. I look at the fh tag pretty often and used to be pretty into rancher fics myself so—#My conclusions are based on that #bree barks so fucking loud

Haven’t even finished the series but here’s my first official ATLA headcanon: when the state of world has reached modern times, like another seventy-hundred years after TLOK, there is a widely critically-acclaimed musical theater production known as “Aang: The Last Airbender” a historical drama retelling of the journeys of the Avatar and companions that ended the Hundred Year War. Idk I just really love the idea of people in the far future retelling this absolutely surreal part of history with the same themes of “the world turned upside down” “history has its eyes on (us)” “the narrative/the story they will write some day”and “who live who dies who tells your story”

#up to y’all if it’s really good or horribly inaccurate #this was obviously inspired by Hamilton so I like to go with pretty well researched but some things were clearly changed #avatar the last airbender #atla #atla headcanons #this just came to mind as I was listening to Yorktown and my brain for some reason thought of the OWL liberating Ba Sing Se #(no I haven’t reached s3 but I know the gist of what happens)#lmfao #oh my god imagine Ozai getting portrayed similarly to king george but just more of an asshat #and zuko sorta having Burr’s role but reversed? where it begins with hating aang(alex) but slowly coming to his side??#avatar: the last airbender

The Gang’s Jail Sentences

I should preface this with my favourite lovely warning: I AM NOT A BOARD CERTIFIED ATTORNEY OF LAW. I do NOT have a degree in this. I have done research, yes, and come up with somewhat of a defense and timeline but still, I AM NOT A LAWYER. I’m just a hyperfixated idiot. Enjoy!

----------------------

During the events of Sing One we see Johnny’s family/the Gang commit several crimes. However, they are only caught after one failed heist. So, I will be calculating the charges they faced as well as providing possible defenses and my version of sentencing. Everyone ready for a ton of legal mumbo jumbo? Great! Let’s dive in.

Ps. I’m so sorry for the delay y’all, I know I promised this a long time ago but I really wanted to do it right. I hope y’all enjoy!

----------------------

Definitions:

I wasn’t kidding when I said their would be actual legal vocabulary here so let’s go over what it all means.

Wobbler: a special class of crimes involving conduct that varies widely in its level of seriousness.

Misdemeanor: a non-indictable offense, regarded in the US (and formerly in the UK) as less serious than a felony.

Felony: a crime, typically one involving violence, regarded as more serious than a misdemeanor, and usually punishable by imprisonment for more than one year or by death.

Parole: the release of a prisoner temporarily (for a special purpose) or permanently before the completion of a sentence, on the promise of good behavior.

County Jail: a facility operated by or for a county for the confinement of persons accused or convicted of an offense.

Sate Prison: is for inmates serving lengthier sentences on crimes that are more severe in nature.

Sentencing: declare the punishment decided for an offender.

----------------------

Crimes and Their Sentences:

Grand Theft Larceny - Wobbler (anywhere from less than a year in County Jail to 3 years in State Prison)

Wearing a Mask - Misdemeanor (up to 6 months in County Jail and a $1,000.00 fine)

Gang Involvement - Wobbler (anywhere from less than a year in County Jail to 3 years in State Prison)

Marcus Exclusively:

Escape from Custody - Wobbler (anywhere from less than a year in County Jail to 3 years in State Prison with no parole)

----------------------

Maximum Sentencing vs. My Sentencing:

Max: 6 months in County Jail, $1000.00 each, 6 years in State Prison (plus 3 years in State Prison and no chance of parole for anything for Marcus).

My Sentencing: 7.5 months in County Jail, $1000.00 each, 2 years of formal parole, 400 hours of community service for Stan and Barry, and 490 hours of community service for Marcus. All of them also were ordered into court mandated counseling/therapy due to the results found by the court appointed psychologist for the enterity of their incarceration and parole.

----------------------

Explanation and Defenses Used:

Now, you all might notice that my sentencing was much, much, much lighter than the maximum sentence. However, that is because I believe they were not prosecuted for some of the potential charges and they also were allowed parole in change of some of their sentence.

Firstly, I do not think they would be prosecuted for Gang Involvement, mainly due to they barely qualifying as a gang by California State Law. By their definition, a gang is:

“a criminal street gang is any ongoing organization, association, or group of three or more persons, whether formal or informal: 1. That has a common name or common identifying sign or symbol; 2. That has, as one or more of its primary activities, the commission of [a crime listed in Pen. Code §186.22(e)(1)-(25), (31)-(33)]; AND, 3. Whose members, whether acting alone or together, engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity.””.

Now why wouldn’t they be prosecuted for this? We see them fitting those descriptions after all. And while we saw those defining actions, the prosecutors definitely didn’t.

We see how criminally smart the gang actually is multiple times in the movie. For one, we never see them try to physically confront anyone that tried to stop them, they just ran. That allows them to avoid all the potential aggravated assault on peace officers charges.

Secondly, when they are captured, they immediately surrendered, no fighting, no running, they immediately surrendered. This allows them to escape literally all evading the police charges as well as them instantly being marked as cooperative, which is extremely useful in their case.

Third, they seem to move fast. In the first heist we see them pull off, the alarm does not start ringing until they break the window. Now, why would that mean they move fast? Banks and jewelry stores both have something called silent alarms that can be subtly triggered by staff in case of a robbery. Judging by the obliviousness of the nearby officers, that alarm was not triggered. Meaning, no one knew that the gang was there until they were escaping. In fact, it’s hinted that the main heist we see is the longest one yet. Judging by how down to the second everything is planned, they were a bit more nervous about this heist than the other ones. And most of that time is traveling discretely so they aren’t caught. Not only do they see to move fast, they seem to be non-violent offenders.

Finally, the fact that there were only three of them (they clearly covered for Johnny, he wasn’t even shown to be questioned so they definitely denied his involvement) and they view each other like brothers, they definitely denied being a gang and instead identified themselves as brothers who committed a crime together. Also, Johnny wasn’t recognized by the Bear Gang (to be fair they were busy, but still) and you would think he would if have been if he was viewed by other gangs as the son of a rival gang leader. Therefore, I believe their actually identity as a gang was not that solid and they weren’t seen as one in a court of law. And that lightened their sentence considerably.

In the case of the other crimes, I think that Marcus’s escape and the Grand Theft Larceny were both demoted to misdemeanors. Why? Because in the eyes of the court, they are first time offenders. From what we can tell, they were not linked back to their previous crimes, and therefore I will not be calculating that into my sentencing. Sentences for first time offenders (in some cases) are considerably lighter and I think that was part of the case here.

The rest of the case here is public opinion. Your court sentence is largely based on what the judge deems appropriate. And public opinion can definitely influence that by swaying the judge’s view on the case. The thing is, the public of Calatonia would definitely be on the gang’s side. Why? Because Johnny, that’s why.

Johnny would have just appeared on tv as a performer at New Moon Theatre and as we saw, he drew in a bit of a crowd during his performance during the ending scene. Those fans would definitely want Johnny to be reunited with his dad sooner and could petition the court for a lighter sentence. Not only would his fans potentially influence the sentencing, but Johnny’s mere existence would too.

From what we can tell, Marcus is a single parent. And while Stan and Barry might lend a hand here and there with helping him with Johnny, Marcus is clearly doing majority of the parenting work. Whether his other parent is dead or just divorced, it’s clear that Johnny doesn’t see living with them as an option (he chose to stay in the garage alone). Why is this important? Because Johnny’s primary caregiver (Marcus) and his two other caregivers who he’d probably be sent to in an emergency (Stan and Barry) are now all incarcerated. That means that Johnny (he is implied to be around 17 in Sing 1 so that’s what I’m going with) would be sent to foster care. And if Johnny had happened to recently gone through a traumatic event, like for instance, just throwing it out there, being trapped in a flooding building, or having all of his family be sent to jail, he would more than likely be evaluated by a psychologist to see what the potential effects of sentencing could have on him.

I don’t think it would surprise anyone if I said that I believe that the psychologist would more than likely decide that Johnny would be negatively affected mentally and emotionally if he was kept from his family the full maximum sentence. What kid wouldn’t be? That, along with the gang being non-violent, first time offenders who had (in the court’s eye) been just every day citizens til then, they would have more than likely been given lighter sentences that would have resulted in their release a few weeks before the events of Sing 2, around only a year later.

#sing #sing 2 #sing marcus #sing big daddy #sing stan #sing barry #sing johnny #I AM NOT A LISCENSED ATTORNEY #PLEASE DON'T ASK ME FOR LEGAL ADVICE #obviously this blog does not condone robbery #do not steal #johnny absolute saved his family in sentencing #he's an adorable anxiety ridden singer with a ton of new fans and foster family #the judge didn't stand a chance against him #marcus could have also claimed the escape from custody was a crime of passion as well #oh and it's a formal parole also known as a felony parole #these three absolutely went oh is a gang a criminal thing? we thought it was an american way of saying friend/family group!#and we've never met his son more than like five times in our lives what are you talking about? barely ever spoken to the kid #johnny just basically used puppy dog eyes and the entire court melted #if i am inaccurate with any of this please remember that I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY #i'm just a hyperfixated idiot ok?#also the timeline makes sense to me so i'm keeping it

WHAT COLOUR DOES YOUR LOVE FEEL LIKE?

deep, staining red

Ripped out confessions, warm velvety whispers and a heart like an open wound. Your love flows out like dripping blood, beautiful, flawed and twisted. It's gut wrenching, the type of painfully dramatic feeling that makes you clutch your chest, picturing dramatic monologues about love and loving and big screen over the top scenes of sobbing into your pillow until you fall asleep. It rips out of you, clawing it's way up your throat more so than tumbling out. Sticky words that just need to be let out, feelings so big they don't fit inside you. Your love isn't easy, it's a true bloody mess, dripping and staining everything it touches in a desperate attempt to be seen, to be felt, to be loved back. And you, you love so hard, so deeply, so much for someone who carries all that pain. Atlas holding up the world, how are you? Is your love still flowing? Is your heart still open? Still pumping and bleeding and dripping with blood and tears? Still painting your beautiful pictures and writing your love letters in deeply personal red ink? Because I see them, I read them, I love them and you, you, you, you. Clench your chest, scream your love, cry it out. Spill your words of loving, keep your heart beating, keep your love coming and paint the entire world red with it. Make it in your image, keep going, it's okay. Maybe one day the whole world can be red and loved and beautiful just like you.

dark stormy blue

Sinking ships, raging seas and tumultuous hearts, love isn't easy for you. It's a struggle, a constant inner fight of should I? Can I? Do I? Feelings are hard and they rumble inside you in a dissatisfied mess that begs to be let out. Your heart screams and cries inside you and you... You can't, you won't. You're scared. And love is scary, it's hard and sometimes it just doesn't work out. People leave, people hurt, people change their minds. And you and your cold stormy heart yearn for the calmness, for the distance, to be allowed and able to simply not feel. And yet, you do. It rages, it fights and storms inside you and you try to keep it down, keep it quiet, to feel pretending not to. It's the burn of childhood friends growing apart, of parents that aren't quite there, of relationships that burn out. So you snuff it down with water, cold and calming and blue, blue, blue. But being loved by you is blue too, just not in that way. It's the soothing, embracing feeling of floating, the moment when you sink down bellow the waves and become one with the water, with everything. It's the balance, the dramatic yet calming sound of waves that crash against a rocky shore. You're the good and the bad, the violence of the storm and the watery peace right after. You're the blue, blue feeling and loving you is watery tears, yelled confessions that no one will hear and burying your feelings in a deep watery grave never to be found out about. Your love is dark stormy blue, it's vast and deep and all encompassing, it's safety in the surface of danger, it's trusting the unruly abyss and yet I'd gladly risk drowning just to feel what it's like being loved by you.

i stole this from my old blog when i did chrollo’s, so feel free to take it!

Chrollo’s under the cut bc, well i did his before.

cold stark gold

Fireworks, borrowed lighters and sparklers against a dark backdrop, yours is a love that burns stark and bright. It's scary though, like things that burn always tend to be, but for you it isn't the thrill of the open flames that gives pause and a slight stomach drop of terror, but rather the time when the flames go out, the sparkler ends and the night is cold and dark once again. Fireworks, borrowed lighters, a striken match, your love burns bright and fast and then maybe it passes, maybe the feeling dies out and you're left in the cold once again. And that's the feeling isn't it? Of being bored and waiting for someone to light you up again? To be fair, you do know you don't need it, but then again we don't often crave the things we need. And you crave and yearn and burn in the wait, restless in the knowledge that at some point someone will pass and rub you the right way, that some day you'll light up the night sky bright yet again. There's comfort in the darkness and solace in the predictable loneliness of the in between, but your heart still squirms inside you, waiting and willing and begging to burn up again. Your love might not be comfort, it's not one for the sick days, but then again, there's a reason why everyone waits for the shining lights in the sky during holidays.

#HELLO SERPENT'S IS SO PAINFULLY ACCURATE #like it really is brutal how well that fits her #bc its all so true #its not the prettiest and its intense and messy but its genuine #feels so much that it claws her chst #and ngl seiroku's i did just to see how inaccurate #bUT UHHH YEAH NO ENDED UP BEING P ACCURATE #if he could #i dont think he knows if he can #likes to feel nothin #and talking about the burn of things falling apart?#me staring @ his little comments abt his past when he was talking to naoe #seiroku vc: if i feel anything positive i'll bury it and one day die #᛭ — [HEADCANON] bleak reality is never far away [SERPENT]#and like ive said with chrollos in the past #its accurate bc he just !! oh ! he is feeling something #will get interested but he can crush it if need be #esp for the troupe's sake #its not a soft love but theres soft moments #᛭ — [DASH GAMES] lets have some fun

if you're still doing the wonderful micro prompts, 15 with Vincent and Lovely?

15: trembling hands

hi anon!!! thank you for your prompt. it's actually you who is wonderful, did you know?

please have a postscript for vincent's ba 😳 and i do mean pretty immediately post, so please consider this ao3 m-rated. no ~activities~ are done or described, only implied, but like. we know what they did.

💜

"You're beautiful," Vincent murmurs, not for the first time. He's propped up on one elbow next to them now, looking at them from under his (stupidly long) eyelashes. They spare a moment to feel faint irritation at how it barely even looks like he exerted himself while they're -- well. Kind of a mess, even still.

It seems like he likes that, though. They can feel his eyes on them, very nearly reverent, and for once, here in the afterglow, when he compliments them they believe it. In response, they send him a lazy grin. Talking sounds like too much work.

His gaze lingers, for a long time, at their neck. The spot doesn't hurt. None of his bites had past the first second, not even the one in the park, but the marks feel a little tender. Oversensitive, even more so than the rest of them. They imagine that if he were to touch the spot now, it would resonate down their entire body in half-remembered echoes of the night.

Vincent keeps looking, seemingly content to be quiet for once, and they let their eyes slip closed. One of his hands is just barely brushing the skin of their wrist, and they can hear his breathing. That feeling from the bite, that buzzing in every part of their body, is slowly ebbing away. It's a gentle comedown, but a comedown nonetheless.

"Okay, Vincent," they hear him whisper after only a little longer. "Focus." Louder, he says, "I need to get you something, lovely. I'll be right back."

They don't even get out the beginnings of a "Wh--" before the air is rushing around them in that sound they've come to associate with Vincent doing vamp stuff. It's barely seconds later when he returns, and they pry their eyes open to see him holding a full glass of juice in one hand and a crinkling pack of snack cookies in the other. "Sit up for me?"

The thought brings forth a completely involuntary groan. They never want to move again.

"Lovely," he says with a sigh, setting the glass on the nightstand and sitting at the edge of the bed. "You have to drink. You lost a lot of fluids tonight."

They snicker a little. A few different kinds, yeah.

Vincent aims them an exasperated look, but they can see the curve of a smile in it. He can't resist them after all. "I'm serious," he says. "Sit up for me? I'll help you."

"I c'n do it," they tell him, and try. The moment they're close to being upright, their head protests by wobbling the world some, and Vincent is immediately at their side, a hand on their arm. "I'm good," they say, swatting at him completely ineffectively.

"Your hands are trembling," he says, voice going a bit flatter, and they look down and oh, they are, a nearly imperceptible little tremor. "Are you -- we overdid it, didn't we. Are you okay?"

"Think that's… um, adrenaline," they manage, blinking the momentary dizziness away. He's starting to look outright crestfallen, that self-deprecating expression from before all this back, and that's not allowed. "Give me the cup."

He does, slipping further onto the bed so he's next to them, their sides pressing together. They hold the juice in both hands, carefully watching the surface of the liquid. It shakes, a little, but only barely, and they raise the cup to their lips and take a drink. It's cold, and they very nearly spill from shivering as it goes down, but it shocks their brain into gear. Sugary stuff. They remember donating blood once, sitting in the waiting room for snacks.

Vincent, ever-attentive, immediately tucks the long-ago-discarded blanket over their bare shoulders. "Okay?" he asks again, voice still something close to vulnerable and eyes worried. "I'm sorry, I should have--"

Gathering their faculties, they shoot him a look over the rim of the cup. "Hush. I'm just fine. Everybody has to do aftercare, you're not special."

Taken aback, he snorts. It's a completely unsexy noise and they cherish it from him. "I'm not?" he asks, a hint of his usual tone returned. They're sure he'll still hover until they've finished everything he brought, but it's a start.

"Not at all," they say, leaning (carefully, to avoid upsetting the cup) into his side both to soften the blow and hide their face as they add, "You'll just have to content yourself with being loved."

#rowan's prompts #ask games #my fic tag #redacted asmr #redacted vincent #please mind the rating!#i think i would prefer #mdni #for this prompt i thought about doing something post-turning #you know trying to do magic or about blood or something #but..... well.... something im already doing is like that #>:)#so have something else!#adrenaline can make your hands shake & i imagine combined with blood loss it could make u a lil trembly #i did google around a bit to make sure it wasn't too implausible but you'll have to forgive me if im being medically inaccurate #(about my sexy vampire bite blood loss ofc)#oh also!!! vincent does not say i love you until a few videos later so yes i AM calling that lovely said it first #they love just going for it

ive been calling myself agnostic for years but i dont think that rlly makes sense. sure i dont think god can be proven or disproven but i dont think the existence of *any* undetectable thing can be proven or disproven and i am content to believe that means they almost certainly don't exist. and i dont give myself a special name for that. i guess it does make sense to have that label specifically in the context of god because beliefs about that have shaped the world and everyone's supposed to have an opinion.

i think it makes more sense for me to call myself an aetheist but i dont want to bc i just associate that w annoying people lmao and it feels sooo. distinctly un-jewish to me. perhaps even anti-jewish. (no hate to jewish aetheists that's just how i wld feel referring to myself that way.) so idk. agnostic aetheist works well i guess. i jst .. hate these false dichtomies .. yes im a religious jew no i dont believe in god yes that's a choice i made not something i think is certainly true. goodnight

#forms suck w this btw #they'll be like choose 1 !! agnostic aetheist jewish + other stuff #why can i not be all ?#same w race & ethnicity #like sure ill choose white bc i am white #but can u not also put jewish in there. i hate having that taken away from me i hate having to say yeah im just a secular white american #(this applies to jews of any race who dont get to choose jewish. just using white bc thats my case)#need 2 word this better some day. it's like. and this next bit i think specifically applies to white jews #when u hate me i dont get to be white and when u like me i should feel privileged that i get to be *only* white #when u like me i should feel privileged that i cant be a jew. i should feel grateful that im forced to racialize myself inaccurately #sorry but we did nawtttt go through all that to be told 'dont worry we fixed it now u can be white!!!!'#thats not what we wanted lmao ?? we just wanted to be jewish and not have that be an inferior race. oh well #that got real #nachi speaks

also given that in different videos of different christmas shows different characters refer to him thusly, i was like, has "joe" come from "giuseppe" this whole time, but joe's wikipedia page cites "joseph" & there's no other results so. i suppose not lol....if it's not for some xmas spectacular/extravaganza bit or layer of fictionalization

#like how will roland or often gerard canonico is not his long islander uncle peenie for real; nor was some neighbor disrupted by noise....#just like oh huh as far as i know maybe that Is true to life. but if nothing says otherwise & i'm Presuming if his name was inaccurate on #wikipedia despite also having middle names and shit then....shrug #just a headscratching detail like. i mean sure? but then it's confined to the show seemingly? i really don't know lol #joe iconis #man of mystery #joe iconis christmas extravaganza #in that wrol uncle peenie sequence on youtube it crops up but also an early spectacular vid w/some [not your italian uncle & aunt from long #island] character they again call him giuseppe like well okay. is That in turn derived from Joe. 8 layers of nicknames

I decided to watch DetCo for the first time in months just in case the previous Kid case had been adapted and part one of it aired this weekend ✌️😁

#It's inaccurate to say I have a sixth sense for it because I kept seeing unfamiliar manga panels but it took me 3 weeks to realise #that they were from a new Kid case 🤦 oh well I read it eventually haha #I kept seeing them and going 'that's weird I don't remember that'

Ridley Scott, regarding his new Napoleon movie, is being aggressively defensive about its inaccuracies with historians. He's gone on record saying "When I have issues with historians, I ask: ‘Excuse me, mate, were you there? No? Well, shut the fuck up then.’" This is a classic argument of people with no idea how historians do their work, how historical accuracy is determined and evaluated, and - in Ridley Scott's case in particular - how important it is to properly portray historical accuracy in other media.

The reason why Ridley Scott is being so aggressively dismissive of complaints about historical accuracy is due to past beef leading to a problem he likely has.

This is a movie that, by din of being touted as a 'nonfiction' movie about a historical figure, is basing much of its marketing on historical accuracy by default. The trailers show it's not, and reviews by historians say it is riddled with dozens if not hundreds of inaccuracies. Napoleon's portrayal is frankly a surface level depiction and nowhere near the nuance that historians were hoping for.

Scott's defensive about it. He need not be. If he had a historical consultant then he could go "I'm not an expert on the time period, but I have someone who is, ask them about it" and fob them off on his movie's historical consultant. It's a whole Thing. He doesn't have one, however, so he has to defend it personally.

You see, Ridley Scott probably didn't hire a historical consultant for Napoleon. The last time he had one - Kathleen Coleman for Gladiator - she was so upset over the inaccuracies he pushed through and how little her work affected the film, she requested her name be taken off of it.

Why this is important is because so many more people will watch a movie made by Ridley Scott than I or any other person could write. More people will watch Scott's Napoleon in the States than five hundred books about Napoleon combined worldwide.

More people watched Dunkirk than ever read a book about the Evacuation of Dunkirk. The movie Breaker Morant did so much for public perception about the execution of a genuine war criminal people in Australia still on occasion call for a pardon for Morant.

Fundamentally, mass media like movies will always have more impact of a popular perception about somebody, a time period, an event. That's why Ridley Scott making an inaccurate movie and going 'oh, you weren't there, you didn't see it with your own eyes, so how could you know, I don't have to listen to you' is a problem.
