60 questions with Theo | playlist, pinterest | ->

1. What’s the one thing they would save in a fire?

Theo is a collector and a bit of a hoarder, so there’d be too much he’d try to save. I really couldn’t just say one thing… but I guess he’d grab his memory journal first.

2. What’s their biggest regret?

Not being good enough. Not being lovable enough. 

3. How would they fare in a zombie apocalypse?

Theo would do very well up until a point. He’s a survivor through and through, but I do think he’d burn out eventually. He could go a few years before breaking down. When he’s no longer able to repress all of his emotions, the feeling of exhaustion would weigh on him. He’d get bitten soon after, almost on purpose.

4. Where do they see themselves in five years? Ten?

Working for his father for a few decades and later taking over his father’s company. He feels a lot of dread and nausea over this.

5. What’s their most useless, weirdest, or least marketable skill?

He can wiggle his ears.

6. What are they like in the bedroom — well-rounded lover or wooden plank?

Theo is… well. More wooden plank than anything. Sorry, Theo. But, well, he normally goes for more aggressive partners who tend to take control anyway. I don’t think Theo really wants to be all there during sex… it’s one of the reasons why he normally uses before finding hook-ups… it makes him a little foggy and loose. I do think, however, that it’s a little bit different when he’s with women. In Theo’s experience, women treat him kinder… which is one of the reasons why he mostly sleeps with men. He wants affection, sure, but he’s also uncomfortable with it… he’s used to pain. With Matthias, however, this does end up changing. Maybe it’s because Matthias is gentle with him unless he’s asked for it to be rough, or because Matthias won’t fuck him when he’s using, but Theo’s more active when having sex with Matthias. Not a lot of talking, but he pulls and pushes and moves how he wants. After a while, he starts taking control and speaking more.

7. Have they committed a crime before? Which one(s)?

Theo uses drugs frequently.

8. If they were an animal, which one would they be? Which one would they think they’d be?

Theo is a pygmy rabbit or a netherland dwarf rabbit (that temperament… yeah). I think Theo would see himself as… well, a goldfish trapped in a bowl, swimming in endless circles and going nowhere.

9. Do they cheat to win or play by the rules?

Theo plays by the rules, generally speaking. If we’re talking sports, though, he does play dirty. He’s very competitive.

10. What do they fantasize about?

Comfort. A room with a door that locks and will keep him safe all night. A bed on the floor. Blinds and curtains on every window. Matthias’s arms wrapped around him so tight he can hardly breathe.

11. Who’s the most important person in their life?

I want to say Matthias, but it’s his parents. It’s hard for Theo to cut them off, even despite the abuse. I don’t think this changes to Matthias for a very, very long time.

12. What’s their ideal vacation like?

Theo can’t even imagine what a vacation would be like. I think even fantasizing about it would stress him out… he’d just think about how far behind it’d put him academically. 

13. What is/was/will be their college major?

Business. Statistics and data. He doesn’t like it.

14. What’s their favorite book genre, if they enjoy reading at all?

Theo doesn’t read for pleasure very often — he has too much reading to do for school — but I think he’s always enjoyed science fiction from a very young age.

15. How would they describe themselves?

Theo wouldn’t know how to describe himself at all. He’d freeze at the question and become despondent.

16. How would others describe them?

Matthias: Lovely beyond words. Intelligent and wry. Shy, pulls away when feelings are too much or too positive. Irresistible. Anxious about things that I could make go away if he'd let me. Lashes out when he gets scared. Strong when he shouldn’t have to be. Soft when he should be hard. Too forgiving to the wrong people. Easily frustrated. Standing on the edge. Endearingly insolent. A mirrored image. Every beautiful thing. Angel. Bambi. Mała myszko.

Everett: Sometimes he makes himself so small… like an injured animal. Jumpy and skittish. But strong, too… impassive when he’s hurt. He’s hiding a lot, but you can see through the cracks sometimes. He needs help, but he won’t let anyone in.

Jordan: Stubborn and headstrong. Naïve or just reckless. Lost. Like a child.

Dutchie: Hard to get to know. Honestly couldn’t tell you much about him despite the years of friendship. Still… you wanna protect him.

Jackson: Fun to be around, y’know… for a rich kid. Troubled, though. Hard to reach. Everyone wants to get to know him better, but… he doesn’t really allow that.

Kavi: Incredibly intelligent but totally aloof. Mysterious. Nose always buried in his books. Cold.

Imani: Too good for Matthias. Sweet. 

17. What’s the most ridiculous thing they’ve ever spent money on?

A large collection of delicate Fenton glass bells and assorted pieces. He collects them and stores them in an antique curio cabinet in his apartment.

18. What’s their dream job?

He doesn’t have a dream job. He just does what he’s told and expected to do, which is to work for his father.

19. How’s their financial situation?

His parents have a lot of money. He doesn’t have a job (honestly… he isn’t permitted one). He’s financially reliant on his parents.

20. Who’s their go-to person for advice?

Theo doesn’t ask for advice from anyone. 

21. What’s one secret of theirs that could potentially ruin a relationship they have?

If he told his parents that he’s bisexual and interested in men they would cut him off or worse…

22. Are they a dog person or a cat person — or something else?

Theo’s never had a pet before, so I don’t even think he himself knows the answer to this. He likes Matthias’s cat well enough, but he’s never been around many dogs to really choose between the two. I think he really likes looking at fish… I’m iffy on if he’d ever actually own one, though.

23. What’s one childhood memory they’ve never forgotten?

CW for child abuse. I’m talking directly about an instance of abuse. This isn’t vague like I usually am when I talk about Theo’s trauma.

Being beaten for tracking mud onto the rug in his father’s office. His father stood him in front of a full length mirror in the hall and made him watch. If he looked away he would be struck again. If his knees buckled he would be hauled back up and hit harder. It felt like it lasted for hours. Theo had been in the gardens beforehand, an umbrella held over him by his au pair. The dwarf sunflowers had bloomed and in his excitement he pulled off a petal and barreled into the home, heading straight to his father to show him how yellow the petals were. His au pair couldn’t keep up with him, and Theo was always forgetting to take off his shoes when he came in from outside. He was very young… maybe five or six.

24. Do they have any phobias?

Open doors. Windows without curtains or blinds. Locks that aren’t sturdy. Mirrors. Older men. Authoritative figures.

25. What’s one thing they’re utterly incapable of doing without the help of someone else?

Theo is actually very independent. It’s hard to think of anything he couldn’t do himself, because he’s always been on his own, really. 

26. What’s one topic they could never get tired of researching or learning about?

Theo is very intelligent, but he’s not actually that interested in learning. He lost that drive and passion at a relatively young age. He’s no longer curious. Hm… I think he might get a little thrill from learning information that’s just… completely useless. Like, think dumb trivia. Still, though… knowledge is synonymous with pressure to him. It makes him feel sick.

27. What’s their favorite genre of music?

Theo will listen to anything. I don’t think he necessarily has a favorite genre. Hm… I think he likes lullabies, though. Quiet music. Calming.

28. Who, if anyone, do they dislike most?

Himself.

29. If they could change one thing about themselves, physical or otherwise, what would it be?

Whatever would make his parents happy with him. Whatever could make him better suited for the part they want him to play.

30. What’s their political stance?

Theo is whatever his parents want him to be on paper, but politically he’s… a liberal, I guess. His party friends, in general, lean left… and they’re definitely influencing him some. However, I don’t think he has the backbone to really go any which way. 

This question is a little hard for me to answer with some of the echthroi cast because they’re rich at the end of the day, ya’ know? Materially, politics don’t touch them.

31. Are they religious?

No.

32. What were they like in high school?

He was all over the place. Quiet and then having these uncontrollable outbursts. Fearful. Frequently pulled aside by teachers, being asked pointed questions. Standoffish. Flinching when touched. Far away from the other students. At the same time he was scared to be alone, though, so he would blend in with the crowds when he could. At the summer school he was sent to yearly, the outbursts always got worse.

33. What’s the worst injury they’ve ever had?

I’m going to choose not to answer this one.

34. Do they work to live or live to work?

Live to work. He doesn’t know who he’d be without it. It’s what he was molded for.

35. Do/did they want children?

No. Theo is scared of even the idea of having children.

36. What’s their favorite thing about themselves?

Nothing? I don’t know. Theo… really doesn’t like himself. Maybe his hair, though… his pierced ears… the things he feels give him autonomy.

37. What’s their favorite thing about their significant other, if they have one?

Hm. I think Theo really likes how big Matthias is. He towers over people and is visibly strong. I think that offers Theo a lot of comfort. He feels safe when Matthias is around. Matthias is also very protective, so… it makes it easier for Theo to face his fears. There’s a reliability to Matthias that Theo needs. Matthias cares about him and tells him frequently how much he loves him… Theo’s never had that before. It makes him feel lighter.

38. If they hear something go bump in the night, do they get out of bed to check it out or do they stay put?

Theo is paralyzed but his mind shoots off at a mile a minute. He’s too terrified to do anything.

39. What’s one skill they wish they had?

A photographic memory. It would make his life a lot easier with regards to his education. He’s never thought about the downsides to this… especially as someone with drug and trauma related memory loss…

40. What do other people find annoying about them, if anything?

He can be very cutting and dismissive. He's judgmental, too. First impressions are everything if you want him to even be cordial with you.

41. What do other people love most about them?

He has this magnetism to him that you can’t really put your finger on. I think it’s a combination of how handsome he is alongside the way he keeps himself almost entirely separate from everyone else… you always want what you can’t have. 

42. What’s the typical first impression after meeting this person?

That he’s very prickly or just cold… restless… doleful. 

43. What do people notice first about them, as far as their appearance goes?

The repressed anger and sorrow in his eyes. Then, maybe, all those beauty marks. The elegant line of his body.

44. Does this person try their best to be honest or are they not above lying to get their way?

Theo isn’t a very good liar, but he’s very good at prevarication and skirts the truth with ease. 

45. What kind of movies do they like?

Theo doesn’t have time for movies. Regardless… I think he’d like horror movies. I think… Theo would find a lot of comfort in watching horrible things happen to fictional people. He could fictionalize the abuse he’s faced that way.

46. Are they the life of the party or a wallflower?

I’d say he’s a bit of a mixed bag on this one. If he’s using, he’s the life of the party. If he’s sober, he’s a wallflower. Either way, though, people will approach him to strike up conversation and ask him to dance.

47. Are they an early bird or a night owl?

Early bird. Theo doesn’t actually like the night. Does he still party until three in the morning? Yeah. But… well. Theo tortures himself in many different ways, doesn’t he?

48. Are they a good kisser?

He’s not bad at it, but he never really kissed anyone until Matthias. So… he’s not amazing at it or anything. He’s learning as he goes. 

49. Do they think about what they wear or do they throw on whatever they find first?

Theo definitely plans out outfits. I think he has three separate lives he’s living and three separate fashion senses to suit each of them. He dresses very typically masculine and rich when he’s with his parents. He dresses down for university but incorporates some elements of his nightlife wardrobe on occasion. He experiments more with sexuality and gender for his nightlife fashion… I think this is what he would prefer to wear all the time, only with a less dramatic flare.

50. Do they have any insecurities?

I could be contracted to write a trilogy about Theo’s insecurities and would meet every deadline with ease. The underlying root of all of his insecurities is his belief that he’s unlovable and dirty, though. Let’s keep it simple with that.

51. What is their favorite thing about themselves?

A repeat question. I’ll add onto my last answer, though, to say that I think he has some days where he feels really good about his appearance and some days he doesn’t. He’s temperamental.

52. What’s their diet like?

Theo eats whatever is made for him and will finish all of it even if he dislikes it or isn’t hungry. He doesn’t have any favorites, but he really dislikes candy or sweets.

53. If they could only eat one thing for the rest of their life, what would it be?

Again, he doesn’t have anything in particular he likes. I guess something easy to eat would be the answer… maybe mangos.

54. What’s their body count, if they have one?

I think he has sex very regularly… on average I'd say once a week unless he’s studying too intensely for a break or his last experience was a really rough one. He doesn’t always sleep with new people, either. The faces blur, though. Hm. I can’t say an exact number and Theo wouldn’t be counting anyway.

55. Who do they look up to most?

The blurry image he has of his childhood au pair.

56. What do they smell like?

Copying things I’ve mentioned previously here… Theo smells very clean. Think green and fresh… a little powdery. He doesn’t often wear cologne, so he mostly just smells like soap — not even his body lotion is scented. He doesn’t like strong or chemical smells on himself. As a signature he’d wear a spritz of Francis Kurkdjian’s Aqua Universalis. However, Theo will also wear Gucci’s Tears from the Moon, which was a gift from his mother, if he’s at family events — it’s outside of his preference but that’s neither here nor there.

57. How do they feel about drugs?

…Theo is an addict. He doesn’t get clean for a few years and relapses multiple times. He relies on them but he also wishes he’d never touched them sometimes, usually when the guilt floods in after he’s sobered up from one of the outbursts he’s had because of them.

58. If they could change one thing about their life, what would it be?

Hm. I’m going to bow out of answering this question as well.

59. What motivates them?

A desire for recognition, acceptance, and love.

60. What are some of their simple pleasures?

Collecting knickknacks. Cold showers. The wind whipping through his hair when he sticks his head out of the window of a car. The sound of the windchimes outside his bedroom window. Odious purring on his chest. Matthias’s voice in his ear.

finally reading dance of days (thank you ohiolink and oberlin college <3) but my most consistent takeaway thus far. is oh my god. people who think punk is primarily ideological and not subcultural/musical. are so out of touch.

#three thought threads excuse it but okay. #first as much as dc punk was not political for much of its history (revolution summer/positive force nonwithstanding im talking oldschool) #i do think the structure of diy and creating an alternative subculture economy is more radical than. making an antireagan song lmao. #even if i think the result was a bit of a failure. the intention was significant! imagine a world where artists do not have to contort #themselves to majors and can be supported by an alternate network of payment and such. would be nice if the arbitrary ideas #of like 5 dollar shows and zero pr and not fighting for what your worth didnt infest that ideology but whateves #okay then also. what the fuck how did i not know the bad brains homophobia was that bad. anyway. #third thread. hilarious that dc punks were.. hesitant to work with positive force bc of its association with revolutionary communist party #lol lmao even. now that im sufficently deep into these tags i can say what all this made me think of which is that #oh my god mcr is a punk band. well theyre more than a punk band but they unequivically came up in punk. they are based in punk. their first #lbum is a posthardcore record without question. in the context of punk as a MUSICAL SUBGENRE mcr is under that umbrella #more than they are Most Other Things #mcr is punk in the outsider-opposition sense which was as defined as some poltics were for a lot of early bands #and shit like black flag which my chem drew on was not textually very political at all it was a subcultural thing #equal opposite force to The Establishment. charting your own path even if it meant fighting for it #obv though black parade barely qualifies as a punk record it was an evolution for them #(and a really interesting zigzag since many of its influences are 70s rock- the very thing og punk was reacting against! #but which now represented a past oldschool rocknroll (esp with glam)) #anyyyway #my posts

trying to feel better by telling myself that my crush possibly overhearing me telling someone that i don't hate him i just talk about him bc it's fun to gossip or whatever bc i was trying to downplay and hide how much i actually do like him is mr darcy coded actually

I saw the comment on your last ask and wanted to ask what's your 5th gen theory? I know that for me actually looking at the years 5th gen should have started already but it feels like we're still in 4th gen because no one other than a few girl groups have blown up the way that 3rd groups both boy and girl had and anyone who has gotten popular has been in last year or two. Making a big three comparison exo in their 3rd or 4th year was in a very different place than stray kids or treasure now

fifth gen HAS already started! just not where or how you would think. and for clarity's sake: i don't categorize gens by group popularity, and that would be a moot point anyways because the success of previous gen groups is never going to be replicated on the same scale because of how dramatically the industry has changed.

my fifth gen theory is this: there's already starting to be a generation change in the last year, but it's being lead by smaller companies who are unable to sustain the current fourth gen performance model, and subsequently there's either going to be a delayed transition where the big four companies will be the last to debut fifth gen groups, OR there's going to be a full split where big four and other well funded companies can keep producing groups in the fourth gen method, while every other smaller group has an entirely different performance method.

the main characteristic of fourth gen has been very strong and heavy dance skills paired with difficult choreography, on a scale that's much more extreme than previous gens. although a lot of third gen choreography was probably harder on its idols' bodies thanks to the acrobatics, third gen idols were still trained as well rounded performers and were able to transition smoothly out of their stuntmen eras and still be able to maintain their group's artistic identity. in order for companies to ramp up the spectacle factor from this, instead of tricking + stunts they prioritized technically difficult dance, which has translated into the bulk of fourth gen idols being by large, probably the most technically skilled generation of dancers. however, like i've said in previous asks, that has come as a detriment to pretty much every other skill that used to be trained into idols. making the sacrifice of dance vs singing is fine for companies that have the funds to support having big spectacular cbs and have large stable fanbases that consume uncaringly, but it's more of a problem with smaller companies who are getting priced out of being able to afford cbs to even hope to match the scale that fans are coming to expect. so as a result, they're going back to training their idols as more holistic performers and simplifying choreography. i know a lot of people are not paying attention to the rookie bgs but a lot of the ones from the last year and change have been a totally different calibre of performer than the established fourth gen groups, and it's likely to continue that way. my hypothesis is that the last company to catch on fifth gen is going to be the next jype bg, and how they perform is going to be the indication of if there's going to be a staggered transition or a full split.

#fourth gen has been the shortest gen (only 2-3 yrs) bc its such an unsustainable performance style #you can already see some of the big groups falling off in terms of ability + consistency #the shape of fifth gen is probably gonna look like a combo of second and third gen #kpop questions #sm groups almost always lead a gen transition without actually being part of the gen itself #see: tvxq (i subscribe to jaejoong's theory that they're gen 1.5) exo and nct #and they've lead into fifth gen again with aespa #sm has also always holistically trained their idols so tbh i would argue that sm has NO fourth gen groups actually #but all of aespa's choreo has been really heavy on second gen style point moves and throwback imagery #which has been picked up by a LOT of other groups #and some groups are pulling references from early third gen (like fifty fifty billlie trendz + just b) #anyways #no guarantees any of this actually plays out im just speculating based on what i've seen #also ppl always say that fourth gens are just nct knockoffs but they are NOT! #we are likely actually to see more fifth gen groups be nct knockoffs than fourth gen ones bc fifth gen groups will actually have the skills #to do so. see tempest dragon and atbo attitude #text #answers

Oh boy my cringe fail fantroll from like 5 years ago for a defunct fan comic I was making with a group that never went anywhere past trolls.

What a perfectly normal guy I don't have to draw in any other way.

Your name is ARETIS MEGIDO and you are an EXPERT CODER and HEAVY MACHINERY REPAIRTROLL.

You are on the UPPER END of your EIGHTH SWEEP which means that you are being set up to be the FIRST of your TENUOUS AT BEST ACQUAINTANCE GROUP to be CONSCRIPTED.

This would actually be GREAT FOR YOU in regards to getting OFF BEFORUS where you will be worlds more likely to actually be allowed to work with CODE and CIRCUITS. Because Condesce forbid you want to pursue a field even just two castes above your station you uppity rusty. You want your whole neighborhood drone struck?

So you keep your more inventive pursuits to yourself. All kinds of scrap materials from your job no one notices you taking.

Yes, you would have no problems EXCEPT being the RESIDENT IT TROLL of your group has brought YOUR ONE ACTUAL FRIEND to your DMs begging you to FIX A GAME for him and ALSO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLAY IT WITH EVERYONE BEFORE YOU GET CONSCRIPTED PLEASE?!?! <:33

And who are you to say no to the one troll you can actually stand who is also the only thread keeping you attached to your TENUOUS AT BEST ACQUAINTANCE GROUP who you are still DESPERATELY HANGING ONTO because you will have ZERO FRIENDS otherwise?

#homestuck #fantroll #fan descendant #ig? #man who smells so bad all the time because he consistently smells vaguely burnt #man who half the player base had no idea was playing until the third pr fourth meeting when he's finally dragged out of wherever #half asleep rust blood whos like 5'5 and built like a brick shithouse who smells like burnt hair shuffles up to a meeting #adds nothing gets asked who he is refuses to elaborate and leaves and this is the last time most of you see him until he gets the tiger #the one thing is that you all can tell him that ANYTHING computer relates is broken and he can fix it no questions asked #unrelated to the above rambling but ALL of the Beforan descendants except Porrims (bc all jade bloods afab) were genderbent for reasons #and i don't remember why but yeah Damara's grumpy engineering son in the loosest sense of son #I pulled his name from Arietis the group designation for stars that make up Aries (name pronounced Air-eh-tis) #fancy tier #fancy dreamer #man who accidentally grabs a soldering iron and just drops it and says ow 0_0

[andthespidersfrommars]

I truly can’t believe I have to say this but I am so so sick of some people my age (namely those who are tiktok users, and therefore are deeply influenced by “woke” stereotypes about queer people and queer identities that are often perpetrated on that site) telling me that it’s weird to talk about growing up as a female or about experiencing sexism because I’m not a girl? and that it either “makes it seem like I’m not really nonbinary” when I talk about my connection to girlhood or that these things “shouldn’t concern me.” because they very much do and that’s such an ridiculous and inconsiderate thing to say.

I was afab and whether I wanted it or not I was treated like a girl and experienced childhood as a girl. I am not out to many people in my life and in their eyes I am a girl.

as a nonbinary person I still experience and feel very connected to my girlhood and the solidarity that I have among girls and women because of shared experiences despite not often identifying as girl myself. this is because of many factors including socialization, oppression and personal identity. truly can’t believe most people I know (and quite a lot of people online as well) still don’t understand that the oppression I have experienced as a queer person who was afab and the oppression I have experienced being seen as a girl are interconnected and that we have to address multiple layers of discrimination simultaneously if we want anything to change. this is. not new information. I can’t believe people don’t get this.

#like there’s a very obvious regression to backwards gender roles on tiktok atm #and this affects people who don’t identify as female or male as well because if you have your girl boss girl dinner bimbo queens #and your borderline abusive masculine energy manly men #then nonbinary people are put into this third easy to understand category of #uwu they/them no gender goblincore inhuman elf cuties #and obviously this is as harmful like the other two because it generalises and stereotypes real people into toxic trendy groups #but it’s also harmful because people will think that if you are one of these then you can’t be another #cis gay men get a pass on tiktok and are allowed to be slay queens as well #but if someone is trans than they have to act very stereotypical of their gender or they’re questioned #I have seen this far too much in tiktoks to pass it off as a few harmful users and not the marjority #bc it really is the majority #and if it was only like that on social media I would care less but people literally act like this irl everyday #my aerial class in particular is really bad for some reason #every signal teenage girl there acts like this and says really harmful stuff and I’m just like #do you hear what is coming out of your mouth ??? #and they have pronoun badges even tho they’re apparently cis and dyed hair and the like #which I think makes them think they look like woke gen x girlies #but doesn’t help them with actually being normal and respectful to other human beings #from the groups they apparently support #shit I really ranted here but I’m so fed up #sexism #misogyny #girlhood #nonbinary #anti tiktok #tiktok critical #gen z

21 and 32

😘

21. Would you ever collaborate with another writer for a story?

That is a solid Maybe. For brainstorming, yeah definitely. I pretty much already have. For actual writing tho where we're both contributing to a work... idk? I don't work very well with restrictions so having to stick to someone else's schedule would be a bit stifling for me I think (this is one reason why I've never applied to zines and don't really plan to). I also feel like it's harder to mesh different writing styles coherently into a single piece of writing. So like. Idk. Collaboration sounds like a lot of work. I'm probably just going to stick to yelling with my writer friends about our respective story ideas and keep it at that.

32. Name three of your favorite fanfic writers.

OK now this question was a lot harder than it should've been, mostly bc I... don't actually pay that much attention to the writers, usually. I have fics I like but liking writers as a Whole? Not as easy to answer that.

I've narrowed it down though, kind of. So I think my answers would be (in ao3 handles): colbub (bc Marigolds changed my life and I still hold it as a huge inspiration in my work), WateredMyCrops (mostly bc I'm in love with their Vash characterization, not necessarily that I've read all That much of their work), and skittidyne (their current trigun fic "kinder, gentler" included in this but REALLY it's for my favorite haikyuu fic Ever & also one of my all time fav fics, "Bell Book & Candle". Now THAT fic rewrote my brain chemistry for REAL. It's been like 8 and a half years since i first read it and I still think about it very fondly)

I think what this has told me is that Marigolds and BBAC are probably my 2 favorite fanfics of all time. Of course they're the massively giant fics with a million different things going on lmaooo

#odins eyepatch #ask #ask game #saw the 2nd question and i was like 'oh God' bc i didnt know how to answer that #turns out i pick the two fics that changed my life the most and then a third whose characterization i Really Really Like #i think that's a pretty solid answer if i do say so myself

this might be kind of a niche complaint, but this is the niche complaints website so im allowed!!!!

i hate it when im consuming a piece of media that has astoryline where a character is dealing with the sudden, seemingly-inexplicable suicide of a loved one, and then TWIST the reason it seemed inexplicable is because they DIDNT kill themselves!!! it was a MURDER!!!!

look. suicide is not a rational action. why someone would choose to take their own life doesn't always make sense from the outside!! someone who seems to have everything going for them could be dealing with stuff you have no idea about. they could have been struggling with their mental health for years, they could have suddenly gotten some bad news, they could have had a really bad drug trip... sometimes you can understand why someone would want to end their life, but sometimes you'll never know why someone did what they did. that's part of why it's a tragedy.

so it always sucks ass when I think something is doing a really interesting and nuanced and sincere depiction of the aftermath of someone's suicide, and then it goes PSYCHE!!!!!!!! people only kill themselves for really good reasons, OBVIOUSLY!!!! the fact that you can't understand why they would do this is proof that they didn't!!!!!!

like... why'd you threaten to do something interesting, and then the twist is that actually, it's boring? it just sucks. why'd you waste my time

#anime life #i have played 2 games in the past 12 months where this was a twist #one was the twist at the end of a story arc #and the other was the twist that the whole game was leading up to #i dont want to say the names of the games because even though i didnt like them #im sure someone out there would and i dont wanna spoil big twists #but i think it sucks lol #the latter example was especially frustrating because the game came so highly recommended to me #my sister was like 'oh you like undertale so youll like this one its even better' and it SUCKED ASS #and also the twist was stupid. kinda broke my whole suspension of disbelief from how dumb it was #also this is the THIRD TIME i have written this post bc yesterday tumblr ate it #so i hope you appreciate all my hard work #suicide -/ #anyway if anyone wants to know the games in question id be happy to tell i just dont wanna say it here in case i accidentally spoil someone #i dont care about spoilers but i have to accept that other people do
