Eddie, posting to Tiktok: Of course, we watch Leverage. I think Eliot is hot and Steve is a criminal.

Steve: I love her *pointing to Sophie Devereaux* I’d let her rob me blind.

Steve:

Steve: *realizing what Eddie said*

Steve: Stop telling people I’m a criminal!

#Eddie: You are. you stole my heart #Steve: You GAVE it to me #Steve is completely valid in his very correct opinion about Sophie #And so is Eddie #eddie munson tiktok saga #steve harrington #eddie munson

big fan of essek thelyss, not the fanon interpretation, which is either "smol bean, tiny fragile elf who's a sweetheart and basically a child" or people mistakenly calling betrayal of one's home country a "war crime" and then proceeding to be flippant about it anyway, but the real Essek

pretentious motherfucker that committed treason bc he though he was smarter than everyone else

learned to float literally just to impress other rich people

canonically neutral evil

basically head spymaster of his country and master of lies but sucks shit lying to his friends

stayed bitchy even after his redemption arc

"there is nothing I would love more than to not be around you all for the remainder of this day"

a space wizard that crushed someone with telekenesis just to show off (the person was already dying)

sexy feet, nice ass, overall hottie

fell in love with a traumatized wizard of his enemy country and it was mutual despite all the betrayal

faggot

gave away state secrets to enemy wizard bc he though he was sexy

discovered time travel with his boyfriend

proceeded to say they shouldn't use time travel (bc now he's a good boy) but was willing to sacrifice everything and help if his bf wanted to use it

once confessed he had such a bad fight with his dad that his dad ran into the demon caves and never returned (essek doesn't feel bad about this at all)

young for an elf but still 120 years old, he called his bf "young man" and flexed on him about how much more evil he is

#anytime I imagine him stealing the beacons its set to the music from Sinbad where eris steals the book of peace #the way people say “he's basically a teenager!” to excuse his actual evil acts #characters are evil and its cool #very much “my guy didn't do that! he did a bunch of other shit tho” #he is all these cool things yet unfortunately the dice were never on his side 😔 #I only have the most correct opinions on essek #I literally don't even critrole anymore but he is my bitch ass wife #critical role #essek thelyss #essik theylas #ask me abt my fic series “I sensed we loved each other without knowing”

one thing that is fascinating to me about merrill's arc is the way narrative manages to convince a big part of the fandom that she's immature and irresponsible and overall stupid. what we know about merrill and what we actually see on screen is that she successfully avoids possession for 6 years while working closely with a demon, almost every time she participates in some magic/spirit-related discourse she acts calm and confident and has some interesting input, she actively uses her knowledge of dalish lore and tradition to reason with her keeper, and that she actually did make progress with fixing and studying an ancient long forgotten artifact no one knows particularly anything about. but then an old woman who's never been shown to be an undeniably wise and reasonable figure, a guy who got willingly possessed with no awareness of possible consequences and whose whole mindset is still deeply andrastian and a bunch of people who know nothing about magic start judging and doubting her and everyone's like. yeah. she's so fucking dumb.

#that one post about your boyfriend getting tricked into believing in-universe propaganda #but in-universe propaganda in question is a little too loud opinion of incompetent people #which is like. very funny to me. because every time i leave my bubble with the most correct takes i stumble upon some da fans #who hate her guts for being an arrogant idiot and then bring up marethari as an example of Who Merrill Should Have Listened To #well i guess merrill would have listened to her if she had had smth to say except 'you have to stop and i won't explain you why' #also i guess. getting possessed to keep merrill safe (while she was as safe as 6 years ago) is not. the heroic move yall make it out to be. #and that was a lot more stupid and irresponsible than anything merrill has actually done. but i digress #merrill #dragon age

So you know that thing that's floating around about Vivziepop not wanting to ruin people's fun by confirming Alastor's romantic orientation?

I was going to make a venty (untagged) post about how that's kinda queerbait-y* and arophobic. But then I was like "you know what, I should check the source because I don't remember the exact quote."

And it turns out I never actually saw the exact quote. Nor did anyone talking about it bother to include the context. And while I don't think either removes the queerbait-y* or arophobic aspects of the statement, they certainly make it better than it initially seemed to me.

Here's the stream (linked to the proper place): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5ONxBZoR0A&t=3793s

And here's a loose transcript (it cuts out some less relevant statements in-between but loses almost no context as far as I could tell): https://www.reddit.com/r/HazbinHotel/comments/mle06e/alastors_sexual_orientation_aromanticasexual/

*I am keeping the actual word on the shelf, I just don't know a better one to use here. I think what she said is SIMILAR to queerbaiting but is NOT queerbaiting.

With the queerbait-y stuff, it still maintains the "aromantic people, tune in, this character may or may not be aromantic. We'll tell you eventually, just keep watching!"

With the arophobia, it still maintains the prioritization of shipping over representation, and treats aromanticism as a subsect of asexuality at best, and as flat out not an orientation at worst.

I don't think either is as bad as my original perception, but they certainly aren't good. And keep in mind, this was 3 years ago, any number of things about her beliefs could have changed in any which way since then.

But what gets me is that Vivziepop absolutely did not say that everyone should just let everyone else have their fun. What she said was to have fun and be respectful of his orientation and the people that are represented by him. She says that multiple times.

I'm not feeling this generous, but I guess you could say the fandom had some kind of Mandela Effect over what she actually said.

I think it's more likely that a few people, maliciously or not, spread the incorrect paraphrase without context, and the rest of the fandom, reasonably, believed them.

Anyway the lesson here is check your sources before you contribute to misinformation on the internet.

#hazbin hotel #neon's void #to be very clear: this post is just meant to correct the misinformation I saw floating around and believed myself #it is not a defense of vivziepop #nor is it a reflection of my personal opinions on shipping Alastor or any other aspec character #(my opinions on it are different than hers)

i love obi wan in phantom menace because every time qui gon does something he doesn’t like he goes ooooooo I’m a sickly little hamster. look what you’re doing to me master. I’m shaking with anxiety like a middle aged woman’s decrepit chihuahua. and qui gon is like haha good joke obi wan let’s go commit human rights violations. and then they do

an aspect of bruce adopting jason that conceptually is funny to me is the age difference between jay & dick. like i bet bruce is thinking ive got this :] i know what having a kid is like :] but nooooo bruce is used to dick now as a young adult. its been years since his kid was a child. bruce goes from fairly confident to a very heartfelt ‘ah, fuck. MIDDLE SCHOOLER’

#bruce still sees dick as a baby so hes like another baby? cool i know babies #& then jason's first week at the manor is just bruce going oh its a BABY baby!!!!!! #my very correct opinions

Actually, no, I disagree. Astarion has his reasons for many things he thinks and disapproves of, but some of them are just ... He doesn't like it when people are nice. He actively likes cruelty. Those are both true.

And yeah, you get why. He's well-written and his motivations are understandable! You can have a lot of very long and sad meta posts about how he thinks cruelty is natural and kindness is fake, but that doesn't remove his joy at cruelty and his distaste for kindness. Those things are still true. He can get better, yes. He does get better if you encourage him to. But he starts out as an absolute jackass.

Stop woobifying him fr. He's a piece of shit, even if he's a well-written one. Just because you understand him doesn't mean he's right or somehow the only sane person in the group. Cruelty is not intelligence, kindness is not a weakness. xoxo <3

#bg3 #like hiraeth understands and respects his need for having his own opinions and his right to be heard and listened to #doesn't mean he's correct somehow or that he's owed obedience or even consideration #like if you suggest killing gnomes for shits and giggles that's like on you bud #that's racism i don't think cazador taught you that<3 #astarion #baldur's gate 3 #like yes he is very damaged and a lot of his attitude comes from that!!! very much so!! #but many of the other companions are deeply damaged as well but they still have it in them to be kind #so i don't think we need to excuse everything unsavory he does with trauma and remove all his agency in perpetuating the cycle #that's what leads you to ascendant astarion #like some of those things are choices my dude

Treating Wilbur as I do dream currently: Expect to see stuff for his character still reblogged, but I won’t tag for him anymore, and I’m disengaging with him as a content creator at this time. Don’t ask me anything else about this, I don’t want to talk about it.

Still probably gonna be offline for a while bc I’m still processing and need to not be barraged by opinions rn. Mostly posting this so I can run my queue. Staying on the content grindset 💪

At the advice of Shelby and her mods, I’m not going to speak his name like this again because he is not the point. Shelby is. But if I didn’t say anything I figured people would think I was ignoring it, which I’m not. I’m gonna continue my break and I hope you all are taking care.

As a final note:

This has brought a lot of attention to Shelby that she didn’t have before and for good reason. But please do not make her abuse into her fame. If this has compelled you to subscribe to her, follow her, and support her, then stay for her and not for her hurt. Watch her streams, engage with her. Be normal. Don’t ask her more, even if it’s from a place of good intention. She’s more than a victim: she is an artist and businesswoman just as much as every other streamer you love. She isn’t “the streamer who was abused by xyz,” she’s shubble. Let her return be welcome and supportive, but please let her get back into the routine she wants. Normalcy is probably the thing she wants most right now, and the best we can do is help her achieve that.

#finally: I have the right to change my opinion. that’s what humans do if they get new information #I’m worried I phrased some of this very poorly and I’m sorry in advance if I did #as always there’s not a nice way to just say everything in my mind in a neat little way #please trust that if I worded something bad I meant it with good intentions 😭 #and please correct me but know I probably won’t see it for a while. being off tumblr is good and I want to keep that goodness going #alright. talk later ❤️ #abuse tw #discourse #wilbur situation #long post

So for those of you who are anime only and/or haven't read the actually "Perfect Day For Bananafish" story by J.D. Salinger, Meredith's version here in the manga is far more accurate to the actual short story than what he says in the anime. ("If you see a bananafish at sea, you'll suddenly feel like dying.")

If you're anime only, you might have also wondered why Ash (who's later portrayed as a bit of a bookworm) has never heard of this story. (We'll assume that he never Googled it because of the manga taking place when Google didn't exist and the anime not wanting to deal with the plot hole lmao.)

There are a couple things I want to point out with this. First, what Ash is outright saying: "I was always more into Hemingway. A short happy life." This is uhhh not subtle. Ash is pretty clearly expressing his desire for exactly what happens at the end of his own life -- his life is short, but he finally finds happiness. And if you think that Ash is referring to a life that is short but entirely happy, keep in mind that "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," which Ash describes in the show, was written by Hemingway. Here, when describing Hemingway's work, he's talking about that leopard. He already knows he's gone too far to turn back.

This is in contrast to the protagonist of "Perfect Day for Bananafish," whose story more parallels Griffin at first glance: a war vet who gets out of a psychiatric hospital and dies after being "rescued" but not fully by a child, never really recovering from his experiences. However, as the namesake of the manga itself, we of course see Ash in the "Perfect Day" story as well -- especially in that Ash willingly walked toward his own death (as did the "Perfect Day" protagonist) whereas Hemingway's "Kilimanjaro" protagonist dies of infection against his will (more similar to Griffin -- or, alternatively, Shorter).

Both stories end in a protagonist dying prematurely, but Ash directly tells us that he's actively seeking out a short, happy life, rather than a drawn out one. To quote the second ending theme, RED by Survive Said the Prophet: "If I decide to burn instead of fading out ..."

If you've been following me for any time at all, you know that I disagree with the message that the end of the Banana Fish manga sends with Ash's death. That being said, I do think that it's what Ash wanted, and what he told the readers that he wanted from the very start. I simply think that Ash was incorrect about it being too late for him to turn back, and that it's irresponsible for the Banana Fish manga to end without him realizing that.

#banana fish #ash lynx #this post is VERY opinion heavy #and i'm open to other interpretations and feedback on my interpretation! #especially because it's been a while since i've read any of the stories in question that are mentioned here #but also please do not take this as an attack on any other opinion #i don't think there's a 'correct' take on the ending. i have my own thoughts on it but i'm not trying to speak ill of anyone else's #chaoslynx manga adventures

Personally I find it really funny that based on what the twins said in the Book 2 finale re: having to tell their mom about what happened to Unalaq, it's literally canon that Unalaq's wife a) exists, b) is alive, and c) is just chilling in the Northern Water Tribe

She took one look at all the spirit fuckery her husband was getting up to and went "Well that's none of my business" and honestly I respect that

#oh and when I say spirit fuckery I mean it in both the literal and metaphorical sense. blame kat's latest raava and vaatu fic #yeah I'm just gonna start posting random LoK opinions on here now. this blog's been dead long enough #not really an incorrect quotes girly anymore sorry #not even a girl anymore. but you know #most of my red lotus and oc posting will remain on my personal blog though bc no one wants to see that #anyway. yes. Unalaq's wife. when I say the avatar franchise has a mom problem this is exactly what I mean #80% of characters don't have a mom. the moms that are alive either have little to no screen time or mentions #or they're basically Schroedinger's mom in the sense that they exist but not really #the exceptions being like. pema and suyin. and maybe senna though she also has very little screentime #my point is. the twins are younger than korra. I know avatarverse has a precedent for putting kids on the throne. looking at you zuko #but really we should have gotten unalaq's wife as chief of the nwt #introduced her in book 3 during the lead up to p'li's prison break #but that's just my objectively correct opinion #northern water tribe chief raspberry when #(according to avatar wiki her name is malina so I've been calling her raspberry in my head ever since I found out #malina means raspberry in russian that's why. probably in a bunch of other slavic languages too idk I'm not an expert #and she shares a name with katara and sokka's weird white stepmom from the comics which no sane person considers canon. so that's fun) #the legend of korra #unalaq

I also feel like if you told Fires most capitalists don't actually care about actual efficiency and it's just about making as much money as possible regardless of output. It just straight up wouldn't believe you.

#“Clearly capitalism is about being the best at doing efficiency (and I AM the best at doing efficiency). What do you mean it's only about mo #“Clearly the reason they also hate unions (like me and my very correct opinion) is because it reduces efficiency." #Fires is so dumb. Obsessed with it #Fires: Actively makes its employees lives more difficult thus reducing efficiency #Also Fires: Yes clearly I am the best at this

Idk why im reading slang discourse on esl subreddits but as a native English speaker, it is perfectly acceptable to use informal English in "official" communication (work, education) if whoever is higher up does it. In English culture specifically, *not* mirroring informality can be seen as quite arrogant and standoff-ish, which is worse than appearing a bit unproffesional. This is more true the more north/rural you go.

This might not apply in London, because Londoners arent people. Or in America, because america is weird.

#sorry i know this isnt important #but seeing someone getting very heated and sweary over their opinion which isnt even correct.... #using “wanna” in an email will not ruin your career #word of god #i get the impression from my deep south american friends that you can get away with informality there #idk i guess it just bothers me when ppl are going at esl speakers #being so agressive about language use and making people scared of getting things wrong #like its really not that big a deal #and honestly growing up in very multicultural areas #if ur worried about being looked down on #the casually racist white ppl are a bit more relaxed around ppl who dont speak so formally #gives the impression you are 'one of us' if youre chill with your language yknow?
