#they aren't really besties

[noahmullariii]

the way Percy's friend group is literally -

4 monsters:

half-goat who's technically twice his age

one-eyed brother who's technically half his age

surprisingly lovely giant dog from hell

strangely devoted flying horse who can talk

and an odd assortment of people:

his mama

immortal lesbian who was a tree for a few years

scary buff girl who bullied him a little

autistic kid who radiates death and had a crush on him

nicest demigod ever whom he had a crush on before he... died

allegedly normal girl who now randomly tells the future

autistic girl who tried her absolute hardest to hate him then promptly fell in love with him. now they're soulmates

Bro I hate fundamentalists and culturally-fundie parents they'll say shit like "spare the rod spoil the child am I right haha yea my parents used to have to beat my ass with a switch almost everyday but I sure did learn my lesson" but like??? no you didn't??? you were hit multiple times for something you very obviously did not, in fact, learn

Like studies about how harmful even lightly spanking children is aside, you're literally contradicting yourself?? Some even admitted they got worse as they got older cause they wanted to see how far they could push their parents before they got punished

And studies not aside, you're gonna get child raising advice from the same book that tells you to stone your wife if her hymen doesn't break on your wedding night instead of the decades of research we have now?? Just say you're a bad parent and move on my guy. Skill issue

#bro I had a coworker go 'unpopular opinion I think some kids really do need beatings' and I'm like???? #unprompted???? what's going on there???? #well anyways I ended up going 'yea so I plan on specializing in play therapy with autistic children so I've been learning about talking #to children and the ways their parents and environment affects them' #and they're like hmmm but beating this kid with a stick after they broke something or I upset them to the point of yelling is good actually #had a boss say it taught him and his kids respect cause they were hard-headed #and I'm like?? that's fear not respect! they fear punishment! they do not act out of respect for you! #he's a conservative christian black man tho so he's like 'But Authority!' like bro I don't even respect you what are you on about #'You don't respect police and their authority?' Nope! I fear them! I do not respect cops and every cop/cop-adjacent person I personally know #has reinforced that for me #'We'll agree to disagree' Cool! Doesn't mean you're not wrong! I could believe trees aren't real but that is in fact incorrect #then he pulled out the bible verse and I was like ah okay I forgot you like 'here's how to treat slaves' book you're so right bestie #I'm totally wrong now and so sorry for doubting you and your 2000+ year old book I don't believe in <3 #They'd go 'well I turned out fine!' then say something that directly contradicts that #anyways I need christians to get their grubby little hands off the current state of Child Protection and Rights in the U.S. #So we can actually start working on helping kids without the force of christian hands suffocating them #cause homeschooling and child raising by evangelicals are so fucked up bro I'm tired of this shit #I'd only stay in my current state to help children get out of that cycle since I'm in the bible belt #ex christian #religious trauma #child abuse tw

It's OC Ref time!

Phemus(she/her) is a psychopomp who wanders the fields of Hades and guides lost souls home! She doesn't talk much of her past, but she's cheery, chatty, capricious, ever the connoisseur of a good yarn, and especially prone to lending a sympathetic ear and bending the bureaucratic tape of the Underworld a bit more often than she probably should (it's for a good cause she swears)(it's Funny)

#kirby oc #She's the type of character who's really easy to chat with #asks about your day #your friends and your dog #Really curious and fun! #but Never chats about herself #The fields of hades aren't a particularly interesting place outside of the occasional wayward shade though #so it makes sense that she doesn't particularly have anything interesting to share herself hahaha #'hmmm yes. I saw One (1) weird beast today. Add that to the monthly tally.' Not that exciting at all asdkfjn #Probably slacks a bit more at work than she probably should but it's ok she can't get in trouble she has tenure #Phemus #aseukiart #Also Thank You Humming-Fly My Beloved Bestie for Designing her scythe it rips as all hell

[obstinatecondolement]

Do unironically and genuinely love that in fandom we will say "there is no platonic explanation for this" completely straightfaced and then go back to writing pornography tailored to our friends' turn ons, which we have extensive knowledge of, to gift them as an entirely platonic gesture.

#'hey bestie love of my life and good friend who I am in no way making a pass at: I wrote you some piss kink with crying. who loves ya baby?' #and we really aren't making a pass!* #blorbo touching his friend's hand is indisputable evidence that they want to fuck each other so bad that it's causing brain damage #but we're built different #*(I mean I do know couples who met through fandom so I guess sometimes people might be making a pass but usually we're not)

that pudding card is GORGEOUS i love her so much she doesn't deserve to be a part of op discourse leave my girl alone she just needs love

Pudding is such a complex character! I love her so so much! She really means the world to me. Honestly, her whole story is completely relatable and the fact that it's basically used to parallel Sanji's doesn't help. It just makes everything hurt more. I could talk about her for hours and how misinterpreted her character is due to fandom discourse and the recent wave of "puritanism" within the internet.

I'm not gonna get too into fandom discourse because I hate it and I already have horrible experiences about it in this fandom (with Lawlu, specifically), but... I find it stupid. Her character has so many layers. She's just as complex and traumatized as Sanji. That's... That's quite the whole point? She made mistakes and has mixed feelings and different types of personalities due to her past and trauma responses. She made mistakes. Sanji made mistakes too. The only damn reason why people don't forgive her is because "she hurt our little meow meow <//3 She's so evil!!! Evil woman!!!" as if they wouldn't forgive her character right away if she were a MAN. Like. Misogyny who??

Anyway, I think it's pretty obvious people don't like Pudding because of obvious misogyny and overprotection of Sanji. Which is understandable because I'm also very intense when it comes to him, but damn... He would not like it if he knew y'all hate her for her mistakes.

Also, people only talk about her to say "she's a great character but her age gap with Sanj-" why does it always have to be about Sanji? Let the girl be her own character. Have you hear of the Bechdel test? No? Perhaps you could try it? Her character is obviously created for Sanji, but she's so much more! Let her escape!!! From the hands of patriarchy and men!! That being said, the whole discourse about their age gap is... Just... So fucking stupid.

Don't go cancelling me right away. I'm just saying that when it comes to stuff like age Oda doesn't seem to be very... Consistent? He's made mistakes before. And the Charlottes are a very huge family. I'm sure not even Oda knows the order of these children, lmfao. I think he would only say shit like "Katakuri is one of the oldest and Pudding is one of the youngest idk. Just made her one of the youngest to match Sanji's backstory of being one of the youngest". But leaving that aside-- Maturity never equals age in a show that's... About pirates... Where everyone has different experiences with different social surroundings... It's just like the Lawlu discourse, damn. You have to know the characters before saying crazy stuff like "Law would groom Luffy" because HOW??? HOW WOULD HE DO THAT??? That's basically impossible. And you need to think about the characters before assuming things. And Sanji and Pudding? Leaving aside the age difference, Pudding has more power over Sanji and that's noticeable. Does that even matter tho? They understand each other on the same level after all in the end. Tbh I couldn't tell about the age difference. I thought they were the same age ngl. Only found out bc I saw the discourse going on and my first reaction was "This is fucking dumb". Tbh their relationship is one of the healthiest I've ever seen for Sanji. We see him being himself for once without being extremely creepy. The whole arc about him losing himself is about a girl loving him for who he truly is. And the whole arc about a girl being judged for being different is about a boy loving her for who she truly is. It's so beautiful!!!

Anyway. Not the point. The thing is that people hate Pudding for... Absolutely nothing? Not knowing how to read complex characters? I still don't get it. Perhaps it's just that my mommy issues are too harsh and I can see through her but damn.

Ana also the whole thing about erasing Sanji's memories? People hate her for that and calling her... Selfish??? Did you not... Watch the scene... Of her crying because she lost the only person she has ever truly loved. But whatever. Call her selfish.

#ngl to you besties i'm a bit drunk if this doesn't make sense it's bc of that #BUT!!! I WILL ALWAYS DEFEND PUDDING!!! #i love her SO damn much #also 16/21 is concerning irl yeah but..... it's an anime... in which ages aren't really consistent and maturity varies a lot... #i've made out with people that were way older than me c'mon grow up touch some grass these are fictional characters #also don't reduce one of the few well-written fem characters we have to a ship?? #one piece #charlotte pudding

Man, opening Twitter and the first thing I see Is Mephistopheles discourse again... We are really going to do this everytime Mephisto appears??

#post0400 #“He's racist!” 1.- Angel/Demon/Human species aren't comparable to human races. it would be specism if anything #2.- I have some bad news about Luke. Belphegor. Solomon. Lucifer in S1... most of the cast. really... #There is no character in this work who hasn't had at least some type of prejudice against other species. justified or not #and most of the things Mephistopheles said were true. even if his anger at Lucifer is misplaced #Diavolo favors a lot of Lucifer and his brothers.. wich has been a problem since Beel almost destroyed the castle #is this Lucifer fault? not really. that's why I said Mephisto anger is misplaced. but I get where he's coming from #He was raised to protect Diavolo. of course he isn't going to question him #all he knows is that one day he was Diavolo right hand and the other day his bestie left him for the fallen angels #Diavolo is always right. no? then the problem must be the newcomers. they must be influencing him in some way #I don't dislike Lucifer or Lucifer stans but also dislike how there's always a nuanced reason on why Lucifer is being an asshole but #they don't offer the same benefit to other characters #(mostly Mephisto or Dia or Mammon... uhm...?)

Wigfrid Characterization: Attitude Towards Maxwell

Ok. I've been seeing this trend time and time again for years now and I'm finally bringing it up bc. idk I do what I want.

While it is understandable to assume from an outward perspective that Wigfrid- a morals-obsessed, overly heroic, walking monologue of a norse angel- would hold an intense amount of spite and hatred towards Maxwell after all he's done... canonically, that simply. isn't the case.

And it's strange! It's certainly strange! But it's also fascinating! And I think it harps on a very interesting part of her character that no one thinks as frequently about: so long as Wigfrid considers you a friend, she will hold an astronomical fondness for you. Wigfrid loves her friends, and Maxwell is her friend.

In regards to Maxwell's old statues- by far the easiest way to compare the cast's opinions on him- almost none of the other survivors have anything nice to say about him (Woodie claims he'll use it as fodder to poke fun, Willow just flat out insults him, WX implies his ineptitude, you get the point).

There are only three characters out of the expansive cast of 17 who have anything genuinely good to say about them- even despite the circumstances and the statue's previous associations: - Wickerbottom, who has a pre-established relationship with Maxwell, both being magic wielders who seem interested in each others' crafts - Wolfgang, who- while not as obviously as Wicker- has a fondness and relationship with Maxwell that surpasses that of the other survivors - And guess who else. Wigfrid.

And I see far more interpretations that harp on the first two's bonds with the magician (though admittedly not as much with Wolfgang as he probably deserves) than I've ever seen with Wigfrid! I think because it's so easy to assume that she wouldn't ever give him a second chance. But really when you take a step back and look at what she has to say, she's incredibly generous with him.

Maxwell is the only survivor in the game she will specifically greet with the title of 'ally'. Almost as if she's trying to convince him that she's being genuine. She makes a constant and noticeable effort to remind him that she's a friend to him. An asset. An ally.

When he does something that isn't morally abhorrent, and when she speaks of his goodness, she phrases it in such a specific way. The kindness buried within his heart. As if to imply she believes it's been there from the start- that she or anyone else could simply help dig it out into the open again.

Even when she's playfully ribbing at him (which, lets be honest, everyone should to do because it's fun and he deserves it), she still keeps his health and wellness in mind. Of all people to make stronger- to trust with physical power and fighting prowess- she's willing to bestow it to Maxwell. The same Maxwell who kept her trapped in that place, gloating and sneering and sending hoard after hoard of mind numbingly horrifying beasts to kill her in indescribable ways.

She trusts him. She likes him. She wants to bring out the good in him. She's here for his redemption arc. She's actively making an effort for him. Its unhealthy to pit theater kids against each other for the love of god please they're the only two left in the Constant* let them have this-

#dst #dontstarvetogether #dst wigfrid #dst maxwell #i was talking abt this two weeks ago but i'm thinking abt it again so i'm making it everyone else's problem #*CHARLIE DOESN'T COUNT AS A THEATER KID.... ok she does but like. she'll kill them both so. #not much engagement to be had there #I just think it's such a shame that every fic I see w/ wig & max in it breaks her down to 'woman who kills people wants to kill this guy' #it's UNDERSTANDABLE but it's SO much more interesting to think about their parallels and friendships #it really is just me and rye against the world every day of my life in my stupid little brain huh. rye if ur reading this hii bestie hiii #rye if youre reading this this is giving me sooooo many concepts ask me abt them (ONLY.... if you AREN'T doing work. otherwise do ur work)

what i really love about this season is that the writers clearly put a LOT of thought into how to adapt these books, there were some moments that were taken from the original almost verbatim but they used all of these to build bigger storylines around them, to extend on the existing story in the best possible way. also someone on the team is clearly a huge fan of the witcher 1 (the video game) and i saw the references and would like to send flowers to the person responsible please. the witcher 1 is criminally underrated. the only complaint i have is that the wyvern was not colourful like the ones in that game 😔😔

#the witcher #the witcher season 3 #*mine #the other complaint i have is that my besties cahir and fringilla had so little screen time 😔 #but really they aren't very important to this part of the plot so i get it #when we finally get both the hanza and the lodge then they'll both have a much bigger presence i already can't wait 🥺

What's up gamers I lost all my photos on my SD card. Bought a card reader to try and recover them. Nothing. I'm fucking screwed. <3

#cv #Thank Kieran for your imput. #But yeah. I had many many pictures on there. I've printed out manybut there are many I didn't. #Doesn't make sense to print out 100 cat pictures. #But there are memes. My reaction folder. Pictures I just haven't printed yet. Videos. My cats and cats that aren't mine. #Pictures of the besties. I just lost everything. #ALL BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THINGS TO DOWNLOAD ONTO THE SD CARD! #I don't remember exactly what I pressed but it really gave me no fucking warning on what exactly I was doing. #And it's all gone. #This includes the things I've worked on to make Light killing people part 4. #I just don't have anything anymore.
