#sounds miserable

[violet-moonstone]

im at the point where i dont even want to look at hotd related tags anymore because its so tiring

so much of it is just people being genuinely angry at fictional characters and insulting people for liking characters they dont like

idk i guess everyone enjoys fandom in different ways but that aspect of it does not at all look fun to me. it just seems petty and mean spirited. disliking the way a character is written or disagreeing with their actions completely makes sense but going out of your way to be rude to people who interpret the story differently than you do is so pointless and cruel

#anti hotd fandom #hotd #time to start blocking i guess #but dear lord do you know how many people id have to block to make being in this fandom bearable #A LOT #cannot imagine choosing to regularly participate in a fandom for a show where you hate half the characters #sounds miserable

Yknow

If things were a little different

I might have become a designer of the world's finest mechanized sex toys

#Maybe I still will but I do not want to go to the trouble of marketing something or running a business #Sounds miserable #But the design and r&d would be a really fun job for me #And not even just because ooh sex toys I mean like. There's some really interesting design space that nobody is exploring #I could fill that niche! #(yes yes I know) #eilooxology

Characters not wanting Astarion to ascend not for any moral reason but because being stuck in Baldur's Gate doing political shit for eternity with a guy who can't plan sounds like it's own level of hell.

#and then they have to either take over the planning #or deal with Astarion not letting them take over the planning for ego reasons #how miserable does that sound #bg3 #astarion #bg3 spoilers

do you ever think about how in the day i picked up dazai side b dazai had to lie emotionless and soulless—like a corpse, almost—beside the man that gently brought him in, nursed his injuries, held him while he was in pain? he had to keep those suffocating bandages around his entire face, lest this man gain some sort of recognition for the little boy he saved. he had to lay there curled in the fetal position, bleeding and in pain, perhaps thinking about how, in another life, this man cooked for him, tried to build up his strength. read to him to pass the time while he curled up against him like a child listening to a bedtime story. played cards with him. saw through the heartless mafioso. the ruthless killer. and instead saw a boy.

imagine knowing this man, the man who saved you in more ways than one, was going to die one day all because he knew you. because he reached his hand into the darkness and plaintively, like a small child wanting a parent's touch, you grasped back desperately. imagine thinking all of that while that man is just a stone's throw away, making coffee in the next room just like he used to for you in another life. the scent, although you've never been here before, is reminiscent of home. and the tune he's humming? it's the silent melody that plays through your mind seven years later, for the last time as you fall backward off the building with your arms out like an embrace. but, hey. that man is alive. he's happy, although he never knew you. you can die with no regrets.

#guys i actually cannot stop thinking about oda and dazai someone save me PLEASE. the day i picked up dazai ruined my fucking life #dazai makes me so fucking miserable every time i see him in beast i just start fucking sobbing #absolute TRAGEDY of a character #he was fucking fifteen in this. and he knew the entire time. he knew oda would die. before even meeting him #bsd #the day i picked up dazai #ermmm found this in my drafts and i wanted to post it sorry guys i sound emo asf

I've been following you for years, and I love your art. Seeing you repost your older art pieces reminded me how much I loved the angry, bitter, miserable Machete art and how it resonated with me... but a part of me is also so happy to see the current art of him being happy. Cute art of him as a unicorn, or chilling in a bathtub with Vasco. Like, we're all growing and healing :')

#thank you! #he's been angry and bitter and miserable for so long it feels nice to give him an ounce of happiness for a change #some reasons to live besides spite and sense of duty #answered #anonymous #I always saw him as a character who's unsalvageable corrupted and doomed by narrative #and that the only way out of his miserable existence was a well deserved death #it sounds extremely cliche but I genuinely had no idea it would be so cathartic to view him through a lens of like #hope and healing and being worthy of love and saving despite your evident flaws and failings #unplanned redemption arc kapow #Vasco really just sauntered in and flipped the whole situation on it's head #sorry folks he has a boyfriend and gets regular pets and hugs and kisses now

To anyone struggling with their mental health this holiday season: read Les miserables by Victor Hugo

it won't help, but at least then you'll know about the sewers

#SPOILERS IN THE TAGS #it will make it worse x #you'll wake up thinking about mother fuckers called Courfeyrac and Grantaire and other weird shit like that #his smile was not ended when the report sounded #he did not finish a second bullet from the same marksman stopped him short this time he fell face downward on the pavement and moved no more #this grand little soul had taken its flight #it strikes me that I know that girl #he might be your brother. he is #these verses murmured in a low tone in the dusk by Jehan Prouvaire who as we have said was a gentle poet #rivulets of blood flowed beneath him. his aged head - pale and sad - seemed to be gazing at the sky #they recognised the voice of Prouvaire. a flash passed a report rang out. silence fell again. “they have killed him” exclaimed combeferre #les miserables #les mis #victor hugo #les misposting #grantaire #enjolras #courfeyrac #enjoltaire #sobbing

truly the most egregious part of the 2012 Les Mis is that they changed Valjean’s line from

“It’s the story of those who always loved you, your mother gave her life for you then gave you to my keeping.”

to

“it’s the story, of one who turned from hating. The man who only learned to love when you were in his keeping.”

LIKE?????!! How dare they remove Valjean specifically mentioning Fantine’s sacrifice and putting that before he mentions his own part in the story?? How dare they make Valjean imply that it was only when Cosette came into his keeping that he stopped hating everything and learned to love WHEN THE FUCKING BISHOP IS THE REASON FOR THE GODDAMN SEASON????

Like OF COURSE Cosette softened Valjean, of course he became a better man when he became her father, of course their relationship is important.

But this story would not have happened without the love of the bishop and it was his love that rekindled the love that was dormant in Valjean’s heart. And it was Fantine that fanned that flame, then Cosette’s that kept it steady.

I just hate how flat it makes Valjean’s story seem. “It’s the story, of those who always loved you.” Is THE answer Cosette has been searching for her whole life. I wish they’d kept it in instead of feeling like the audience would only feel fulfilled by Valjean’s story if he only mentioned his direct relationship to Cosette.

Whatever idk. It’s a good Les Mis for a lot of reasons, but a bad one for a lot of reasons too 🥲

#I also have beef with the pacing of the whole dang thing #and SUDDENLY my god what a horrible song #I also will get into direct hand to hand combat over the tiny random songs they added in #Anne killed it tho she’s the best #also Mr Crow is such a good actor I wish he didn’t sound like a plate when he sang #I have new thots about his performance too #I ALSO HAVE BEEF WITH THE TRANSITION IN THIS FILM #okay I am done #les miserables #les mis 2012 #oh wait also I have beef with the entire musical over something Valjean does constantly but I can’t get into that in the tags

Not to be too involved in fandom discourse but I think that the good omens fandoms (and most fandoms out there) has an issue with going back at the source material. I don't mean this in an patronizing way because I do it too, and it happens, you get so involved with a character and with a story that some things become blurred and more reflective of yourself (the watcher/reader) then of the story itself.

But sometimes, specially if you happen to find yourself hating a character that it's literally part of the main couple of the story you love, I think it's good to go back to that story you love and revisit the things you like about it and remind yourself what they really are like in canon.

The thing about Good Omens is that it is of course a very touching love story with very important themes, but it's also a clever comedy about two immortal beings and the insane divine/human world. Aziraphale and Crowley aren't two beings who are torturing themselves because of their love for centuries, they love and have fun with each other and the silly good/evil things the world has to offer.

#'aziraphale is toxic and an asshole to crowley' #'crowley is agressive and miserable' #NO #This is a story about humanity and it's complexity #they suffer but they are SILLY and they make mistakes because of that #sorry if I sounded mean but there are some takes that sometimes bother me #I absolutely adore that people love this story so much that it becomes so intrinsical with themselves #but sometimes I wish that we could go back to the show and remind ourselves some things #good omens #good omens season 2 #tomatineo rambles #aziraphale x crowley #ineffable partners #aziraphale #crowley

Tiny something about accidental necromancer Soap and ghost Roach au :

Ghost catching Soap playing rock paper scissors by himself, with one hand, and gets physically slapped by the memories of Roach playing that game by himself. He goes straight to Price's office to cry.

Meanwhile Roach is cackling because he's been winning non stop and Soap is bad at getting in his opponent's head.

And Soap is distracted because he's pretty sure Roach is flirting with him on purpose to make him lose, because why else would he be flirting with him?

It's time for a showdown of the winners (and closest runners up) of all my Tony-winners-by-decade polls, or as I like to call it...

Previous closed polls: 50s - 60s - 70s - 80s - 90s - 00s - 10s

And for bonus points, in the tags put which shows you're angriest/most surprised didn't win for their respective decades
