#theyre both jerks

[dazeddoodles]

On that note. I've been defending Huntlow shippers from people hating on it for months because I know when Raeda gets together at the very last minute, we're gonna get it too.

Raeda Shippers 🤝 Huntlow Shippers

#'people only hate on huntlow cause its straight!!!' #no do you remember when we briefly saw young odalia and alador at the end of season 1? #and people went crazy for them #making tons of ship art and art of the blights being a happy family #despite the ONLY thing we knew about the blight parents was that they were abusive #and then people went even more crazy when they appeared #its the same way with caleb and evelyn #the fandom was WAITING for a straight couple to ship #preferable one where theyre both white #but i dont actually care if someone doesn't ship huntlow #or perfers to see hunter as aroace #as long as youre not like. a jerk about it.

#they are both dumbasses but at least they agree with each other on their Alien Opinions <3 #theyre both optimistic and like to see the best in other people and situations it's actually really cute #they work so well together (when jimmy jr isnt being a jerk) #bob's burgers #video

the thing is while literati and rogan shippers may be divided on rory's situation in s6 and the way both boys responded to it, i see the merit of both sides (although i could be biased since i very obviously ship both). and in the context of this episode specifically, 6x08 when looking at writing and characterization, i'm a big fan of how things play out.

because jess really does know rory as he claims to even if he obviously has made terrible choices with her in the past and hurt her badly (and let's keep in mind that while his actions were horrible and inexcusable, he was an immature TEEN at the time of their relationship and has clearly learned from his mistakes and matured a lot since then, to the point where rory is actually happy to see him and reconnect in a platonic capacity). because they are friends and he cares about her, because they have the type of relationship where they cheer for the other's successes, she supports the actions that he's taken to make something better for his life. and he chooses to support rory too, calling her out on her stagnant life that she's living at the moment and encouraging her to reclaim what she worked so hard for. he knows that she's lost and dejected, not following her passions/goals, not taking her ambitions seriously. and yes, i do agree that it's a bit unfair for him to have approached the situation that way and claimed to know what's best for her/yell at her especially as he hasn't had consistent presence in her life recently, but it does lead rory to a pivotal breakthrough and helps her turn things around for herself and pursue what she feels is the correct path, at last momentarily.

but that's not where the story ends either. when she confronts logan about her recent lifestyle, how it compares to his opportunities/privilege and the struggles he faces when dealing with that, and how they spend their time together drinking and partying (all of which are great themes to explore on their own), they get into what is a very important fight for them. logan reminds her that she has as much privilege and opportunity as him, that she's the one making the choices she does, and that he respects and supports those choices. he also heatedly reminds her that she has as much power to reclaim what she's lost, that she can choose to live whichever life she wants and he isn't preventing her from doing that. instead, he's simply being supportive and respecting her decisions, not coercing or being a "bad influence" on her.

while both men were making poor decisions this episode (logan being an excessive drunk and unnecessarily antagonizing jess in an immature display of jealousy, jess presuming to know what is best for rory), they were also really important to not only enriching rory's storyline but understanding all three of them as characters, imo. both sides of the rogan versus literati fandoms can argue against the other man's behavior this episode (and both sides would make a convincing point) but it's meaningless to debate who is the better love interest because that's not the point here, at least in the context of this episode and how it drives the plot. the point is that both relationship dynamics and both characters, romance drama aside, were integral to rory realizing what she wanted and proactively making decisions to drive her own success. and in the end, it was rory who regained agency, rory who took charge of her life, which neither love interests deserve credit for. however, i do appreciate that they both did play their part in helping her get there.

#i feel like so many people are going to vehemently disagree with some of this and that;s fine #just dont be a dick about it no matter what side you're on XD #and this really isnt a case for who would be the better boyfriend (which by the way i honestly think is logan) #or a case to excuse jess's past actions and logan's present ones #theyre both being jerks #however despite that i do love love LOVE how this ep turned out #gilmore girls #gilmore girls lb #literati #rogan #i get that RL and RJ shippers probably dont want the other ship in their tags but this post is about both ships so #bite me ;) #lol i'm...... not trying to be aggressive or anything #rory x jess #rory x logan #anna watches tv

No, because early seasons sam wasn't empathetic. He was kind to people, but it was very clearly a conscious choice and effort he made, and that was such an admirable and interesting aspect of his character.

#dean was empathetic and chose to be a jerk #and sam was apathetic and chose to be kind #that was the whole dynamic #theyre both good people just in different ways #spn #dean winchester #sam winchester #supernatural #spnmeta #early seasons spn #sammeta

#ramblingpaladin #god i hate how im so easy to fall for arrogant evil men #its from the “i strahd memoirs of a vampire” fyi. im going insane over him today #funnily enough im not into #e.g ascended astarion or cazador (or gortash. but gortash is different here:) #i think it has to do with how Raphael and Strahd are just genuinely good at whatever the hell theyre doing #vain. arrogant. flawed? oh absolutely they're total jerks #but their so beloved patheticness for me comes from the fact that their weakness lies hidden behind their strengths #which can be both literal strength or can be an intellectual thing. tbf both have both. manipulative bastards that also can whoop your ass #and oh lord im about to get the worst ass whooping of my LIFE #while ascended astarion is honestly just sopping wet pathetic to me straight away. hes not really fun. but i get the fantasy ig #its been said multiple times i believe but as.astarion really just has the Vibes. not the actual thing #sure hes now some cool never seen before vamp. but hes broke off his ass and turns into a stupid lil bat #cazador definitely has his strength oh that's for sure but ultimately his weaknesses are wayyy too obvious #raphael also has them obvious but he has the charisma to make you forget hes got them #cazador is just sopping wet too #so really i believe its a matter of having the character be genuinely strong + ratio between weakness and strength #preferably the weakness to be more hidden. part of the appeal #im not putting gortash in together with as.astarion and cazador because hes also a good one imo #but for some reason im just. not into him. even tho hes literally my type #is it the anime ass hair? #its the anime ass hair. #this got long...

[transmiqote]

i really need to get around to writing a zenoswol bodyswap fic bc i feel like it would get both of them off in very different ways

#like zenos is out soloing s rank hunts & revelling in the wols strength & creaming his (or rather wols) pants #meanwhile my wol is just jerking off. i think theyre both valid #this is just yet more evidence that in from the cold really did a number on me

STORY TIME STORY TIME

So there’s a promo koraidon card that comes in the elite trainer boxes, he’s a snoozing lil fella and he’s so cute. I’m collecting the motorcycle lizards because I ADORE THEM and this one was inexpensive and cute

And generally it’s about 2 or 3 bucks if you buy it separately on websites or in card resale shops. I have the matching Miraidon so I needed him to go with him! 🙂

HOWEVER! The guy at the store was being a pedantic COCK tho (self-described “content creator” btw) and kept correcting me like “UMMM ACKSHUALLY THEYRE PARADOX POKEMON NOT LEGENDARY POKÉMON” (as though I am not a giant autism about these weird little guys and know more than him) and being really like… shitty about it? And REALLY argumentative and mansplainy about other shit too? Like how the REEEEEAL legendaries are “the Chinese Pokémon” and couldn’t even name them lmao ok

So I buy Koraidon for 3 dollars as he’s priced, and my friend is checking out, and this other employee comes over cause he hears me autisming about motorcycle lizards.

“Did you show her the Pokémon Center exclusive one we just got?”

And he’s like ‘we have one?’ and the other employee’s like ‘yeah it’s in the box of cards to be put in the displays and binders’

I was EXCITED about that because more lizard baby! And to my knowledge you could ONLY get that one in the Pokémon Center in NYC. That sounds cool!!

It’s not in the box. Meaning it already got put out. Bummer.

When I get in the car, I look at mine.

Turns out, mine is the one on the left. Note the thing on the bottom right of the card that isn’t on the other one.

Holy shit.

I got a 30 dollar card for 3 bucks because pedantic numbnuts didn’t look at it close enough cause he couldn’t stop mansplaining legendary motorcycle lizards to someone showing their excitement and had to be right LMAO

#legitimately fuck people who feel like they have to be pedantic to someone who is obviously excited #and also fuck you very much for being such a jerk. THEYRE LEGENDARY POKÉMON AND ALSO PARADOXES #THEYRE BOTH YOU SKID MARK

[agnimybeloved]

the tonal whiplash between “the sun and the star” and “a nico di angelo adventure 😋” is kind of insufferable... it just sounds so goofy for lack of a better word. like the least nico di angelo thing you could do to a title. but also i think its really funny for that reason like i don’t know what the necessity is for that additional tagline but i’m glad rick riordan continues to not take nico completely seriously LOL 

#i had no idea mark oshiro was nonbinary btw RGAHHHH im so excited.... so excited to hear theyre a more introspective emotional writer #i love will and nico as being silly amplifiers to each other but im so excited to see more from both of them.... #also hearing that rick riordan's wife was crucial in establishing will's character and voice and alignments is so fascinating #i would love to hear her character analysis wtf #rrv #also im really excited for the plot but i cant help but see this as another percy jackson fail 😭 #good for him for leaving the questing realm and going to college but like. #nico was already the one who kept up with bob after percy forgot about him #leo was the one who went back to help calypso after percy forgot about her #now nicos going back to tartarus to help bob again #i dont hate percy or anything i just think he is definitely a bit of a flake and jerk #but in a very human way. like sometimes people just kind of suck a little bit. especially when they're 16 #and sometimes you have to look out for yourself and the ones you love at the expense of being a jerk to others. yk #im not trying to be overly critical of him at all LOL i think he's fine. but there is a pattern here #i also think its a failing on rick riordan's part for not giving percy and nico's relationship the resolution it deserved.... #like the end of TBOO was a silly 'gotcha' and like. dunking on percy sort of thing #which i think it was good for nico to tell percy about his crush on his own terms. but the whole scene is so.... weird. #like. silly. like annabeth high fiving nico (???) that felt so strange for all parties #like percy and nico really needed like a serious conversation about their history 😭 and the genuinely mean ways percy treated nico

thinking about cranboo and how theyre a huge bitch

#i know on this blog i often make him onto the bullyable wimp #because cranboo is very much bullyable. and he has wimp auras around him always #but really one of my favorite things about her is that theyre a fucking *jerk* sometimes #if you arent someone cranboo decides to care about or is scared of you are ripe 4 classic anxiety fueled almost direct aggression from him #its just that dream is the only one he can really consistently remember that he fucking hates #but like. during the michelle thing he was actively hostile and did not care much that michelle was like. a child #he actively berated fundy for *agreeing* with him but not doing it how ranboo wanted him to #but then when he finds someone he does like or someone he wants to help (not necessarily Fix but like.. close to that kind of mindset) #he is unwilling to move from the idea that he should acknowledge their flaws and then starts being a jerk about *that* #if cranboo does not want to put in the energy of understanding you you Will be subjected to either him disregarding your existence- #-until youre interacting with him or youre subject to him being kind of a fucking prick ! #i.e. like. the it was a drug van thing #she is SO incredibly in the wrong there bc ultimately cranboo doesnt.. really Want to understand lmanburg #hes steady in his idea that it must have been this inherent wrong even though he used to like it (which is a part of why he sticks around- #with the syndicate even though he doesnt seem to really agree with doomsday and phil was the only one who- #-he talked to outside of meetings after him and ctechnos initial friendship #his memory loss gets in the way of both his friendships and keeping up with who he doesnt like #which ends up making them come off as both friendly and also really unpleasant to have a disagreement with #this is very rambly but basically what appeals to me about cranboo is that theyre a jerk who you cant really win with #which so directly contrasts how she comes off as someone whose like always emotionally hunching over to seem smaller than she is #which they probably also physically do #but at the same time it fits perfectly #theyre like. quiet kid with anxiety whose sorta irritable but never acts on it until he gets fed up and blows up even at ppl who dont rly- #-deserve it #does that all make sense #mask mews #dsmp #ranboo

[roughentumble]

if geralt and jaskier could steven universe gem fusion themselves together, the resulting being would be SUCH a bitch

#seriously we're combining ''speak normally'' #''[the mares are foaling] better than the stallions'' ''the magnitude of this difference somehow escapes me 🙄'' #mr. fucking. ''*describes painting of an ugly man* considering how generous painters are to rich clientele.... yeesh 😬'' #with jaskier KNOWN BITCH jaskier. mr. ''im dandelion and im going to mock these guys SO HARD for being jerks #(while my boyfriend snickers in the background the whole time) #that we end up penniless on the side of the road.'' #they would be SUCH A BITCH(affectionate) #witcher tag #ogc tag #they would be so bitchy and also they would think they are the funniest fucker in the room for it like theyre both so amused #because jaskier thinks so highly of himself #and geralt does think of himself as being kind of clever in those moments and also geralt likes it when jask is a bitch #it would be. like. that would be their greatest downfall dandywolf would be so bitchy and then amused with himself #to the point it is occasionally offputting #and it gets him in trouble #this occured to me in a sudden flash of knowledge

[forgloryforhonor]

To me it’s still funnier if gintoki and otae never fall in love but sorta just exist in the same spaces and homes together. They have the energy of an old married couple minus the sweetness. Just them being comfortable in existing in the same space. It’s great.

#gintae thoughts #i really enjoy their current setup istg #theyre both jerks and sweethearts i love it

[johnlockedinkonoha]

Apparently the part that kept me going on for destiel is straight, so now I can't ignore two straight homophobic dudes and pretend everything is fine and I can ship destiel... Wow and thanks a lot Misha.

That's it. Spn and destiel is in the past for me. It was a good ride, good times, I'll keep in my heart the good parts and now it's dead.

Sam Winchester and Jared Padalecki is/was truly the best of Supernatural.

Just had to get that outta my chest, don't come hate on me...

#when only jensen was a jerk i could pretend he wasnt and keep reading fanfics #but now both of them are trash #i cant ignore it anymore #boo hoo #turns out straight men strike again #i hated jensen so much for being so homophobic #and i loved misha so much but now knowing he's straight everything changes #everything he said wasnt funny or cute #it was blatant homophobia #there are limits to what an ally can say #anyway fuck them all #it changes nothing in my life #hope theyre happy and dont do any more harm #bc some ppl were affected #destiel #cockles #misha collins

Started reading a book I've been looking forward to for a while and idk how I'm feeling about it tbh. Feels like the romance is moving too quickly but at the same time the characters are so clearly lonely that it makes sense.

Aside from that, I don't like much outside the actual correspondence aspect? Like, the parts that aren't letters just don't capture me. I find myself caring little for the characters when they're not writing to one another because of how purposeless those sections & their actions feel. I think they're supposed to feel purposeless but they feel purposeless & too self-congratulatory.

#feels like a bit of a jerk off sesh tbh #like idk #im keeping with it for the letters but i really dont like the rest. feels like “omg look at what i can do” #from the writers and characters both #at first i posited it as the characters being too alien (context: theyre like kind of superhumans who see themselves above mortal shit) but #i believe it's the attitude behind it #feels like a freshmans creative writing exercise #maybe it will change but who knows
