One thing I genuinely think the fandom forgets or underestimates is just how weird Neil is. Like we paint him to be this carismatic, flashy, cocky bad boy, but in reality he's stingy, skittish, balks at anything more personal then his thoughts on Exy and Cannot for the life of him socialize. Like in the Raven King, right after Seth dies, he straight up goes:
"Neil had to patch things up with [Allison] somehow, but he didn't know where to start. He'd never been good at winning people over. Someone like Allison wasn't likely to be his first success. "
Neil's spent his life living on the outskirts of "average" life. Ergo, he's cagey and flighty and so far removed from normal that even among the Foxes he'll always be a little unpredictable and odd. And you know what, good for him; we all deserve an antisocial introverted asshole to raly behind.

the arryn line has died out so many times they always have a backup line ready to be the next arryn, these bitches are just sooooo bad at living. everyone’s always picking on the starks for getting nearly wiped out but damn ned & cat really hunkered down and repopulated the hell out of the family tree, like the starklings aren’t doing that bad, meanwhile you just like, sneeze too hard in the direction of the eyrie and the whole arryn line is on the brink of extinction, but it’s okay, they follow strict osha guidelines in the vale and they have a protocol for this very common scenario

Maximus is so fun as a character to me for two reasons:
He's a slave to his most selfish desires at his core, and that selfishness allows him to do cold, evil, ruthless things over and over again. And that's not something that he becomes and it's not some crazy plot twist that gets revealed to us, as though his normal personality is a veil. His personality is genuine, it's just driven by the deeper motives that get more revealed throughout the show. And then you start to reinterpret all of his other actions in a different light and go oh.
This set of character traits gives him the funniest ability to repeatedly be like "I will kill people, I will commit violence, because I have strooong values/opinions related to this!" and then somebody gives him some friendly company or, like, a bathrobe. And he's like "ohh :) Nevermind, I would trust you with my life if it meant I could have more of this. Would you like my social security number."

not to be a heathen but i know connie in ur reverb au slang dick like crayzzzz…like he beat da doonies down so bad he have bitches that don’t even eat breakfast let alone cook it (self callout era…) waking up bright and early making him eggs its insane. (also has he ever done a threesome with ony or are they not that heathenish….QTNA QTNAAA) no but seriously i love ur reverb series hope to see more out of u😘🙏🏾❤️
listen…now I ain’t one to tell my boy’s business but you are absolutely correct 😭 he is a S-L-U-T! And not in the way that he’s always chasing ass like Armin. Him and EJ are very similar in the regard that they know that dick be hitting so they can’t be handing it out all loose. (Prince Cee is however a HUGE flirt). Connie is a freak and he’s def had a couple Instagram models mad at him, posting stories and going on tangents after they realized he wasn’t cuffing them. Had ‘em straight losing their shit. And the dick be hitting ofc, but it’s the head game bitch. That nigga will tie a knot with his tongue and have you nutting back to back, just to block your number by the next day shkwgejs. He a lil too nonchalant for girls liking but if he say woof, they gone bark LMAO. Go over to his house on any given weekend and he got the baddest bitch you’ve ever seen, ass naked in the kitchen making him a five course meal and rolling his blunts. Sis wigged lifted and tilting, she walking funny…just ruining lives fr! Got them calling him papi and shit, he’s terrible. And if you thought he was bad by himself…yk Ony is a dick slanging demon too so they’re nothing but problems together. They’re some habitual shit talkers while they’re in it too so you know. All imma say is..I would love to go see the Eiffel Tower 🌚

One of my favorite parts of phase 2 (and indeed one of the few moments I resonated with IDW Prowl) was when the neutrals were coming back to Cybertron and Prowl said that he refused to let Autobots be pushed aside and overruled after they were the ones who fought for freedom for 4 million years (the exact wording escapes me atm).
And I mean, that resentment still holds true even once the colonists come on bc like. As much as it's true that Cybertron's culture is fucked up, and as funny as it can be to paint Cybertronians as a bunch of weirdos who consider trying to kill someone as a common greeting not important enough to hold a grudge over.... The colonists POV kind of pissed me off a lot of times, as did the narrative tone/implications that Cybertronians are forever warlike and doomed to die by their own hands bc it just strikes me as an extremely judgemental and unsympathetic way to deal with a huge group of people with massive war PTSD and political/social tensions that were rampant even before the war?
Like, imagine living in a society rife with bigotry and discrimination where you get locked into certain occupations and social strata based on how you were born. The political tension is so bad there's a string of assassinations of politicians and leaders. The whole planet erupts into an outright war that leads (even unintentionally) to famine and chemical/biological warfare that destroys your planet. Both sides of the war are so entrenched in their pre-war sides and resentment for each other that this war lasts 4 million years and you don't even have a home planet any more. Then your home planet gets restored and a bunch of sheltered fucks come home and go "ewww why are you so violent?? You're a bunch of freaks just go live in the wilderness so that our home can belong to The Pure People Who Weren't Stupid And Evil Enough To Be Trapped In War" and then a bunch of colonists from places that know nothing about your history go "lol you people are so weird?? 🤣🤣 I don't get why y'all are fighting can't you just like, stop??? Oh okay you people are just fucked up and evil and stupid then" ((their planets are based on colonialism where their Primes wiped out the native populations btw whereas the Autobots and OP in particular fought to save organics. But that never gets brought up as a point in their favor)) as if the damage of a lifetime of war and a society that was broken even before the war can just magically go away now that the war is over.
Prowl fucking sucks but he was basically the only person that pointed out the injustice of that.
And then from then on out most of the characters from other colonies like Caminus and wherever else are going "i fucking hate you and your conflicts" w/ people like literal-nobody Slide and various Camiens getting to just sit there lecturing Optimus about how Cybertronians are too violent for their own good and how their conflicts are stupid, with only brief sympathetic moments where the Cybertronians get to be recognized as their own ppl who deserve sympathy before going right back to being lambasted.
Like I literally struggled to enjoy the story at multiple points because there was only so much I could take of the characters I knew and loved being raked over coals constantly while barely getting to defend themselves or be defended by the narrative so like. It was just fucking depressing and a little infuriating to read exRID/OP

I honestly hate hate hate it when people measure Jason's power/combat skills based on his death.
Like in power rankings they put him so low by saying "nah hes basically powerless cuz he got killed with a silly spear" like NO. you literally missed the whole point of his death then. Jason would've died regardless of how strong he is. Because the fates had already sealed his destiny. You can never escape a prophecy, and the burning maze prophecy said that either Jason or Piper would die.
So Jason had CHOSEN to die instead of Piper. Jason told apollo and Piper to escape without him because he knew he would die and he didn't want either of them to stay there and watch in danger. That's why there's a line that apollo said right before jason was killed. "Jason's expression told me his plan with perfect clarity"
Jason 👏 died 👏 willingly👏 that's 👏 why 👏 it's such 👏 a tragedy 👏 bc 👏 a 👏 powerful 👏 son 👏 of 👏 Jupiter 👏 died 👏 so 👏 it 👏 was 👏 unexpected 👏 and 👏 sad 👏
So y'all shading him for being "weak" is just peak tone deafness when the boy basically committed suicide via planned murder simply to save lives apart from his own. Istg if I see one more jason slander in 2024 I'm gonna-

Thinking about how Leo says he uses his jokes to cope and y’know, thinking harder on it I think it may very well be because of what else uses one-liners and puns and that type of humor.
Specifically, 80’s action movies and campy sci-fi. Even more specifically, the protagonists of these.
So I can imagine why, exactly, Leo leans toward this brand of humor. It’s directly linked to things he loves! But even more than that is why I think it’s used as a coping mechanism.
In these genres, these quips tend to be said by the winner - or, if not a winner, then someone who will stay alive. So there’s a confidence behind them, an assurance, almost, that even if things go wrong, things aren’t ever too serious. There’s no bad endings here! It’s all good fun, even if the stakes seem high.
Leo canonically has been known to steer his brothers away from the more brutal villains and toward more fun, lighthearted activities and not-so-dangerous criminals. So for Leo, these jokes definitely make things less heavy, make the situations they find themselves in less intense.
It’s kinda not just coping, but also can be seen as a form of escapism. A safety blanket. A way for Leo to defuse the tension of knowing just how dangerous their lives are and replace that with a levity which implies that things will be okay.
Unfortunately, levity alone does not alter reality.
