community that has only seen themselves represented in a small handful of romance stories that aren’t explicitly about their real-world oppression, watching a new show or movie where they are represented in a romantic story that isn’t explicitly about their real-world oppression: getting a lot of “that other show with a queer romance that isn’t explicitly about real-world homophobia” vibes from this

#ofmd #our flag means death #good omens #good omens 2 #gentlebeard #blackbeard #aziracrow #txt #og #mine #listen i love pattern recognition as much as the next person but please. please. #the similarities between ed/stede and azi/crow are SURFACE LEVEL #the relationship dynamics are VERY DIFFERENT #one is opposite sides of a war and sworn enemies whose lives are dedicated to The Mission who accidentally fall in love #the other one is two incredibly lonely men who have never had a real friend meeting each other later in life and becoming instant besties #they’re not the same!!! AND THIS IS A GOOD THING!!!!!!!!!! #like do y’all really want all your queer romances to be the same goddamn dynamic over and over again????? #that’s stupid! you should want your diverse romances to be DIVERSE!!!! #go/ofmd both have fancy silly blond man paired with a goth who wears dark clothes #and they both had. very tragic end-of-season cliffhangers due to the blond man’s internalized emotional hangups #but stede/azi are very different characters. and it’s ed/crowley are also very different characters #and their romances! are very different from each other!!!!! #i GET why the comparisons are being made but man they’re getting annoying lol

something about the fact that Hermie wasn't even supposed to exist, the fact that he only came into being because Beth was fucking around with an anagram generator and he was funny enough to keep around. (something about the fact that Anthony clearly liked him enough to not want him to be a total creep, and retconned an explanation that he was method acting as the Joker.) something about the fact that Paeden didn't mind getting frequently forgotten by the PCs, but Hermie minded a lot, and that was funny, so it became a running gag. something about the fact that all his flirting and messing with Normal was motivated by his single most important desire in life: getting attention, and more specifically, attention from Normal. (something about the fact that he seeks attention more than he seeks love.) something about neither of his dads wanting him, of the party not wanting him (of the cast not wanting him). something about the fact that it was clearly specified that Scam spawned him into existence, meaning he might not even have a soul, meaning he might be gone forever without even the possibility of reunion in the afterlife. something about the fact that he outlived his usefulness, and the only significant or meaningful thing he could do for narrative or characters was to die. (something about "he's basically a free kill that changes nothing in the story.") something about him saying in the stand-up ep that he'd be better off dead. something about the fact that the narrative decided he was right. something about the fact that he was loved enough from his introduction to keep coming back, but not loved enough to be made plot important. not loved enough to be saved. Hermie the Unworthy, everyone.

#anyway. im fine #literally what the fuck yall. worlds most tragic goddamn character #i thought Glenn and Terry and Grant were all pretty damn tragic but if hes permadead then Hermie takes the fucking crown #even Lark. do you know how fucked up you have to be to be more tragic than LARK OAK-GARCIA HIMSELF #please let him be important. please let all of this be a smokescreen for him coming back in a meaningful plot-relevant way #I JUST NEED HIM TO BE OKAY #dndads #dndads s2 #dndads spoilers #dndads s2 spoilers #hermie the unworthy

What’s it with gays and asking their soulmate to run away with them or otherwise leave with them and then being rejected when the other so desperately does wanna leave with them but can’t cuz of complicated situations?

Remember when Toby was like "I can't promise to be able to make you feel 'that feeling' that Undertale made you feel all those years ago", and now we only have 2/7 deltarune chapters and I'm already more mentally ill than ever before.

#the audacity of this man to think we wouldnt inhale anything he put out in the world #Kris has all my fucking heart #Susie has all my fucking heart #Ralsei has all my fucking heart #Noelle Lancer Berdly and everyone else has my fucking heart #Queen is the funniest character Toby ever made #The whole deal with Gaster Jevil and Spamton and others to come goddamn I can't stop thinking about it #im forever fixated on the dreemurrs in undertale and their tragic story #but damn if deltarune doesnt already match the energy and we're not even halfway done #J DIDNT EVEN MENTION SNOWGRAVEL/WEIRD ROUTE OMG #NSJSMSJSK TOBY YOU MADLAD #undertale #deltarune #toby fox

I have feelings about the way Wade lowkey panics when men touch him gently.

In the teamup comics he gets all awkward when Spidey hugs him and then makes a lewd joke that "ruins it" as Spidey says. In the second movie he goes "haha what are you doing?" In this very airy, confused tone when Cable pats him on the chest to place the skee-ball token over his heart.

He doesn't even joke about copping a feel or anything, he just doesn't know how to react to touch from men that isn't threatening and it makes me sad.

Spidey's hug is an obviously conciliatory gesture, he's apologizing and thanking Wade. Cable's gesture seems to be brazing and supportive, when you don't know what he's doing, but both gestures are so inconceivable to Wade, because they're nice to him, that he's just left baffled.

#deadpool #wade wilson #deadpool meta #Wade has so many terribly sad layers okay #and I'm fascinated that this reaction is consistent across media #I think he generally expects and accepts abuse in his relationships with everyone but I think he expects less overt violence from women #his self-esteem is so bad that it doesn't occur to him that he can have nice things #and then if you're the one actively needling people at least you control the violence #goddamn he's tragic

more childhood AU stuff! nowhere is safe from nikolai.

also i decided that fyodor had a cropped jackets phase at 13 because he thought it made him look older (it didn’t.)

#also stupidest fashion choice possible since he's always cold #it took a restaurant waiter giving him the kids menu for him to tragically find out it did not in fact cancel his baby face #then he switched to another outfit and has not stopped wearing the same goddamn clothes every day for 12 years. #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #fyodor dostoevsky #fyodor bsd #bsd fyodor #nikolai gogol #nikolai bsd #bsd nikolai #fyolai #my art

GAH... #'zerxus you watch as patia's head twists past the point that she can remain alive' COOL GREAT THANKS BRENNAN #exu calamity #god I love all four episodes of that tragedy so much. perfect #brennan heard that zerxus is grieving his dead husband and estranged from his son and looked at luis like a lion looks at an injured gazell #Emotional Wound Time #all of these characters are so fucking tragic I love them #the way brennan plays evandrin too... AUGH #I'm chewing the legs off the goddamn furniture over here #hare.txt

Enobaria

Trigger warning: talk of tr*fficking, r*pe, forced medical procedures

I keep seeing the theory/opinion recently "what if Enobaria got her teeth filed in order to avoid being tr*fficked by Snow???" and like i get where people are coming from, but no. Katniss states in the plain ass text, "She became so famous for this act that, after she was a victor, she had her teeth cosmetically altered so each one ends in a sharp point like a fang and is inlaid with gold. She has no shortage of admirers in the Capitol. " (p. 224-225 Catching Fire)

Guys. Katniss says it. Before she knows it or realizes the implications. ENOBARIA'S TEETH WEREN'T FILED TO MAKE HER LESS APPEALING TO THE CAPITOL, IT WAS TO MAKE HER MORE APPEALING. SO SHE CAN BE TR*FFICKED. Enobaria most likely was tr*ffIcked by Snow, with the explicit appeal being that she was "brutal and animalistic". I feel like a lot of you gloss over that this is a minor body modification compared to literally just the Capitol citizens, and in their eyes was something to the affect Daniel Radcliffe deciding he wanted to be known as "the Harry Potter Guy" and wore glasses for that.

And I know part of this narrative comes from people wanting to believe that others defied the Capitol before Katniss or that she wasn't the only victor to do so, but you don't have to ignore one of the only pieces we get about a character to get it- its literally everywhere in the series. Haymitch, Johanna, Finnick, Lyme, Seeder all do so. Haymitch, who wins his games by making a mockery of the gamemakers' arena, using it as a weapon. Johanna, who loses everyone she loves, refusing to be tr*fficked, Finnick, who brings back his competitor IN THE ARENA. Lyme, who is from a career district and most likely won as a career tribute- literally the Capitol's attack dogs, being at the forefront and one of the leaders of the rebellion. Seeder, who has never met Katniss but hugs her close to whisper that Rue and Thresh's families are alive, standing with them and the other victors, holding hands to tell the Capitol "We are here, together. We are people. We see what you're doing to us." These victors all do something to make the statement you want so desperately for Enobaria to make.

Enobaria's story is about a young woman who is praised, held up, and told that the worst moment of her life is the only moment that defines her as a person. It's a story of manipulation from authority figures and a life of living in something you want so desperately to forget, but you can still taste his blood even when you just brushed your teeth and everyone is telling you that they've never seen that in the games before, and it was brilliant and then you're sitting in a hospital with your stylist beside you, next you see your face again and you know you'll never move past it, and then President Snow is throwing you a ball for your Victory Tour and your escort introduces you to a 'very generous sponsor from your games who wanted to meet you' and "what you thought that would put me off? No the whole reason I picked you is because you're such a fiesty one." You wake up the next day knowing why you'll never get to forget. The Capitol citizens, it seems, revel in the desperation of those from the districts.

Like yeah, Enobaria is most definitely a tragic character like most of the other victors, but her story would run a lot more parallels to Finnick's than Johanna's.

When you realize it, Tim was never the other woman— it always has been Lucy.

#even after a 3 decade situationship Hawk had always gravitated to Tim because he literally could not survive without him (fire island arc) #while he only came back to Lucy for necessity #imagine though. #your own fkcin wife is the other woman #goddamn- sorry ya’ll I’m a Lucy apologist all throughout my girl deserved her own RIGHTS #she done got sht on for the entirety of the show lmfaooooo #i could literally ramble on about this topic for days on end #i will genuinely fist fight anyone who thinks Lucy is the villain of the story. #and to think that she might have never even had reassurance that Hawk ever loved her in the first place- #I’m sick. #she’s actually stronger than god for going through all she did. #and as much as I love Tim and think he absolutely didnt deserve any of it either #Lucy is actually such a tragic character she’s absolutely perfect for a character study #anyways #brain rot hours methinks #fellow travelers #fellow travelers brainrot #I’m so eepy y’all sorry for this-

I know I am never going to be a Star Wars Fandom Person and that I am not reacting to Ahsoka the way the rest of the internet is reacting because that was, without a doubt, the funniest dumbest gay thing I've ever seen??? HER STORMTROOPER FRIENDS LEFT

AND SHE STARTED CRYING

AND THEN RAN AWAY ON A WOLF (yes it's a howler i know it's a howler shh) TO BE SAD IN THE MOORS ALONE FOREVER(????)

NO ONE GIVE HER A HUG THIS IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE, I need to see her carve BAYLAN SUX into the side of a spaceship with her lightsaber. I need to see her dramatically tearing up as she learns that Evil Doesn't Pay I want her to listen to Space Evanescence alone in her room in the dark I need her to go to the Space Hot Topic and spend too much money on nail polish that DEFINITELY DOESN'T MAKE HER THINK OF SABINE this is critical to my enjoyment of Star Wars.

#do i also need the finale to be like #40 minutes of plot resolution or whatever #40 minutes of mean gay sex #yes of course i do #will i get any of this #no she's a woman in star wars i assume she'll die tragically on the moors or be adopted by witches to Come Back Wrong #in the obscure corner of an extended universe property #that i will never hear about #because the star wars extended universe(s) is a nested puzzle box of self-contradictory canon #and i have things to do #also i don't care about comic man you cannot make me care about comic man #i don't care if he rides the force like the goddamn silver surfer #if i have to go back and watch 40 hours of extended universe cgi cartoons #in my precious spare time #to be able to give a shit about this character #you have not told a story good #sorry not sorry #but i'm glad all the people who liked rebels are having a nice time #ahsoka series #ahoska spoilers #go see a star war

WtNV is a comedy but there are so many bits that are just undiluted horror or tragedy and I love it.

"A Story of Love and Horror" being so far removed from comedy that I find it genuinely distressing to hear, and it's about two incredibly minor characters

The fragmented horror of "Go to the Mirror?" that technically explains things while somehow leaving us with more questions

Cecil saying, "Stay tuned next for... I don't know. I don't care. Goodnight," at the end of episode 98

Learning what actually happened to Kevin in episode 73, "Triptych"

Literally the entire ending of episode 45, but especially, "'You know' says The Man Who Is Not Short, looking down at his crossword, 'I worry every time that I'm not going to finish these when I start them.'"

Like. It's a comedy podcast. This is a comedy.

#not tma #wtnv #welcome to night vale #im gonna post a whole bunch about episode 45 so get ready #it's one of the most tragic episodes in the whole goddamn show imo #wtnv 171 #go to the mirror? #wtnv 98 #flight #wtnv 73 #triptych #wtnv 45 #a story about them #a story of love and horror
