#i would have committed atrocities

[shadowqueendiangelo]

Imagine you’re Grover and Annabeth. Your friend has just tricked you in an attempt to sacrifice himself for you. This is the second time this has happened to you in your life. You watch him fall out of the Arch. You see the three fates and watch them clip a string.

You think he’s dead. He’s definitely dead, no question. Except you go to look for him, expecting absolutely nothing, but trying to keep the faith.

And then he climbs out of the river, waves awkwardly at you, and says “hi.”

I would’ve thrown him back in the river.

bsd fic authors i understand yalls pain SO well right now why is it so fucking HARD to write dazai. like i have a whole fucking spreadsheet dedicated to tireless analysis i have done on my part so i can accurately characterize him but he is such an unpredictable and morally gray character that it's hard knowing his limits and boundaries and where he draws the line for himself.

#i hate when ppl make him out to be a sadistic villain with no remorse. like did we read the same manga 💀 #but at the same time he is NOT crying abt all the ppl he sent to the grave. he sleeps just fine at night knowing he committed atrocities #yes he feels remorse? but he isn't like kunikida to weep at someone's grave for failing to save them #and then we have his emotions themselves #dazai isn't emotionless. far from it. he has difficulty expressing affection but yk he finds someone endearing when he trusts them #trust is very important to dazai and is one of the aspects of human emotion that he can fully grasp #but like everything else is in a hazy gray area that he does not feel like exploring. he feels alienated from his humanity bc of this #AUUUGHH can someone help me with character analysis PLEASE #I WASNT PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS MF UNTIL RECENTLY SO I MISSED OUT ON A LOT OF IMPORTANT DETAILS #see i would go and reread a few light novels but like i don't have time for that #and this is for dazai specifically. i am very well versed on his relationships w other charcaters #but just like asigiri himself said: it's very difficult to write dazai and write him WELL #so yeaaa i have a lot of smart ppl following me pls help #bsd #ALSO MY FRIEND STILL HAS NO LONGER HUMAN UUUUGHHHHHH I NEED THAT BACK BC I TABBED IT A SHIT TON #FOR LIKE CONNECTIONS TO YOZO AND BSD DAZAI AND WHERE ASIGIRI DREW INSPIRATION FROM YOZOS CHARACTER FOR DAZAI #THAT WOULD BE SUCH A VALUABLE FUCKING RESOURCE BC I DID SOME ANNOTATIONS IN THEM TOO BUT MY BOOK IS ANOTHER FUCKING STATE #I HATE IT HERE FML

babe would you still love me if we were superheroes and you were in danger and i went absolutely bonkers and crossed every moral boundary imaginable to protect you at literally any cost?

#would you still love me if i was covered in blood for you? #anywayyyy more superheros going of the fucking deep end for love thanks <3333 #this isn't based in anything in particular unfortunately i would simply like to see it #anyway.....people compromising their morals for love!!! doing the wrong thing for selfish reasons!!! #too many people commenting on my betrayal post think its about ur lover changing your mind/making you realize u were wrong #no!!! its about choosing the wrong side in purpose!!! going against ur beliefs bc u love someone more than ur conscience #KNOWING its wrong but doing it anyway in absolute AGONY because what other choicebdo you have!!! #anyway <3 #sacrifice ur soul for ur lover or don't waste their time #this has been a shitpost #please tag your blorbos <3 #ig this is lowkey and anidala post but i want the superhero version please and also without the totally implosion of the ship and hero #i want the good guy lover to live with the weight of his sins knowing he can never atone but he would make all the same choices again 🤌 #devotion to your lover above everything!! past the point of redemption or the ability to forgive yourself!!! #(this is good when the lover is horrified but better when they forgive their lover for the atrocities committed for their own sake) #otp dynamic fr #worm discourse

i think my biggest gripe with the comparison between zuko and john smith and zutara as a whole to pocahontas is that john smith was an active colonizer. he was a grown man who chose and was proud of what he was doing. he didnt even believe the act of colonization was wrong. yes, he tried to end the violence in the movie, but he still lived with the belief that his people deserved to and were entitled to co exist on that land with the indigenous people.

zuko was an active participant in dismantling a hundred years of colonialism and colonization and genuinely wanted to fix the problems that his ancestors had left for him. it wasn’t easy and he wasn’t a perfect leader, but he was genuinely trying to make decisions that would be for the better of all the people, not just himself or his people. where john smith thought that indigenous ppl needed the white people’s help to become “more civilized” because he viewed them as inferior, zuko sought to give those that the fire nation had hurt their autonomy back.

that’s not to say that it isn’t a valid reason to dislike zutara, and if the idea makes you uncomfortable that’s fine and i respect it. i realize that the ship doesn’t appeal to everyone and that’s okay, but i just hate the comparisons because john smith was genuinely just an awful person who never should’ve been glorified in a disney movie.

#idk it’s just very frustrating because zuko was also a victim of the fire nation #j0hn smith was not a victim of england #zuko was a child who realized the atrocities and war crimes his nation was committing and sought to unlearn the indoctrination he underwent #AND played an active part in dismantling that system despite being labeled a traitor to his people #j0hn smith was not and did not and contributed to the continued oppression mistreatment and genocide of the native american people #if indigenous ppl have a different perspective im all ears as i am not and would never intend to speak over you #im always willing to work to educate myself and unlearn any biases i may have #zutara

sons of mogh ends with a severe sudden onset julian bashir character assassination but in such a bald-faced WILD out of the blue 'now we don't have the time to unpack all of that -- '/well that escalated quickly way that I can't help but cackle and go 'sure I'll take it let's go with that I guess he just did that why not'. mischaracterization so blatant and absurd that it loops right back around from insulting to genuinely hilarious fsdkah

#star trek #star trek ds9 #ds9 #julian bashir #what on EARTH was that for ALL characters involved I can't stop laughing fhkjdsfha #something about the completely matter of fact way they all three went #'yeah sure I'll commit a stunning act of premeditated moral & medical atrocity today I guess I have nothing else on' #it goes into the 'details that are only canon whenever I think it would be funny' folder in my head #WHERE! WAS! SISKO! IN ALL THIS? fhdskja how on earth would he let this happen was he just that tired of dealing with klingons #you know what. julian looked very grave and beautiful as he delivered his batshit insane lines. in a way is this not a victory

I'm not that involved with Hollow Knight, I mostly observe the fandom and obsess over the concepts, so I might not be that qualified, but I really want to make human versions of Ghost and THK because I think the raw horror of "no mind to think, no will to break, no voice to cry suffering" is a little obscured by them being bugs.

Yeah, we all know it was messed up, but nothing about their designs suggests "something deeply, very, horribly wrong happened to them."

Just think for a moment, what would it take to guarantee a human person would have no mind to think, no will to break, no voice to cry suffering, and also no gender?

At least 4 human rights violations, that's what.

#hollow knight #the hollow knight #ghost hollow knight #hollow knight ghost #if I ever post a THK design I promise you it will be the most MESSED UP guy #I could go into detail about all the medical issues these guys would have #but I don't think you want me to #but for example: #I spent soooo long researching how bugs make noise #only to find out (no surprise) they can only make noise by hitting and rubbing things #...which means HK characters probably talk the way humans do #so then I had to research how you would make a human mute #and uh #um well #it's BAD #and that's not even touching on how you'd take away a humans will and make them mindless and genderless #(I'll give you a hint. there have been atrocities committed specifically for that purpose) #it's... it's BAD guys #so horrible it's starting to become funny to me #PK is THE WORST DAD EVER #it would take a RIDICULOUS amount of mutilation and abuse to make a pure vessel

every friendgroup needs the following: a catboy, a he/they, Marco from Animorphs, and a teen atheist who shops at Hot Topic

#this is about team greed #kat reads fma #I am not there yet I just felt a need to call Heinkel a catboy #now if Darius was actually like Marco Animorphs they would not have fucked around in the woods for 6 months #they would've won much faster but committed some kind of additional atrocities

somewhat wine drunk on the bus rn, pondering some nonsense AUs to pass the time and I'm currently trying to come up with a scenario where Maedhros (?) (Actually, maybe Maglor tries advocating for stealth over brute force in a vague appeal to morality) rallies his brain cells after dior & silmaril show up in doriath and decides that actually, a heist worked for lúthien and beren and we dont really have that much of an army to spare right now and arranges some sort of undercover mission to steal the Silmaril back. I do not want this to be a fix-it, I want everything to go just as badly and for nobody to look better in the end. I think some good candidates for the caper would be cruel servant of celegorm #1 and #2 (i mean, debatable if this would be left in the hands of some underlings. Ok listen. Unnamed wife 1 and 2 are Feanors kin, technically. Horrendous girls' trip??) but I'm not sure what genre I'd want this to be, could go either in the gritty and depressing or the dark comedy direction

#yes they would not do this for multiple reasons and yes this does not fit thematically because the feanorians need to commit their #atrocities personally and not outsource them #but i am having fun. blame the bus wifi for working for once

Oh… 😰

pink diamond 🤝 princess bubblegum

two pink morally complex characters who are treated as if they were the spawns of satan by their respective fandoms

#little something ⌞🐚🐁⌝ #I’m not even much of a fan of these two #I don’t even like pink diamond that much #but with the way their fandoms talk about them #you’d think they were this mustache twirly evil people #and obviously they’ve done bad things #whether we wanna admit it or not pink diamond did hurt both spinel and volleyball #and princess bubblegum has a whole list of atrocities she’s committed #(and I’m not counting her thing with Finn she never intentionally ‘led him on’) #but they both learned and grew as people #but some parts of the fandom would have you believe they never did that #pink diamond #princess bubblegum #steven universe #adventure time #might delete later

……starting to think a lot of you do not know what the word empathetic means

#i have a lot to say about this but it is going to have to wait a few days until i’m no longer up to my ears in work #but here’s a little thing to tide you over: empathy does not a good person make #a capacity for empathy is in no way a capacity let alone willingness for good #empathy and intense horrendous cruelty are not mutually exclusive #if you think that evil comes in a single form if you think evil is just pure callousness coldness spot-it-a-mile-away inability to love #then no fucking wonder people keep doing evil terrible things like in real life and your response is always ?! W hat ?! #shocking: terrible evil people are still people. they are not robots of pure malice. they were once babies with coloring books #that’s not saying we should feel bad for them or anything at all!!! just that you guys seem allergic to acknowledging that it doesn’t take a #category 5 sociopath to commit an atrocity #everyone go read arendt’s banality of evil and go watch act of killing by joshua oppenheimer #no wonder trump keeps winning. y’all don’t view his supporters as people with any qualities other than Racism #like i know this is a fictional character but the response here is so indicative of this much broader issue that makes me want to scream #i get it. you’ve lived in a bubble your whole life and never interacted with people vastly different from yourself and had to acknowledge #their personhood as much as their viewpoints disgusted you. talk to a conservative once in your life it might be mind blowing #not bc you’ll be like WOAH :o THEYRE NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL! no!!!!! because they ARE that bad and they are also regular normal people!!!!! #you are all so incapable of viewing anyone you dislike as having internal lives! christ! #this is how trump won! how do you not see this! #seriously go watch act of killing go watch anwar who murdered hundreds of people in cold blood warmly scold his grandchild for poking a duck #too hard. like the most horrifying part of horrible ppl who commit atrocities is that they aren’t caricatures of evil #we wish they were it would make it easier to understand #agh i’m rambling i’ll shut up #god watch ppl be like Uh why are you defending trump/genocide/fascists etc #dumb fucks i’m telling you the most terrifying part about those people is that they are actually people that’s what makes it so hard to #comprehend bc atrocities are so much easier to swallow when you can pretend a force of pure evil is behind it #okokokok good night lol

So Israel is gonna start declining visas to UN workers and BOY nothing says "I'm definitely absolutely not committing war crimes and genocide no need to check!" like keeping the only body that can hold you accountable out of your "borders".

At what point will the global community stop looking the other way?

#i/p #meanwhile my zionist cousins would have my head #because Israel is our “homeland” #but i dont want a homeland which ousts others and commits atrocities on them #to make space for me #we need to do better

My disaster Tav team! From left to right:

Mordred: Banished noble, escaped imprisonment after being caught performing necromancy. Entitled and egotistical.

Malice: Terrifyingly sadistic Dark-Urge, loves to make men beg.

Mallory: Evil little shit, mischievous and cruel. Has unresolved trauma that's left him emotionally stunted.

Rosewood: Silly little bard who's with The Wrong People and is scared for his life every damn day. Adds much needed levity to the squad.

Mallory loves to annoy everyone, though he picks on Rosewood most. He steers clear of Malice, but every now and again he will pull tricks on Mordred and luckily escape some near-death retaliation.

Malice scares everyone and Rosewood is the worst at hiding it. Every conversation is awkward, pressured speech, and hasty exits. She finds it cute so she lets him live. Mordred also fears her, however he hates that and constantly challenges her in order to assert some kind of authority. They hate each other and are both vying to be the self-appointed leader of the group. You wouldn't guess it but they fuck on the regular.

Mordred would've killed Rosewood on sight had he not recognised him. As a well-read noble, Mordred is more than aware of Rosewoods literary work and is actually quite a fan. Funnily enough, Rosewood is a prolific children's author, writing stories of heroes and princesses. These were the books Mordred grew up on and still loves to this day. Speaking to Rosewood is about the only time anyone really sees Mordred brighten up, he's like an excitable child when talking of his favourite childhood stories. That is until he remembers himself and returns to his cool facade.

Rosewood likes Mordred but keeps a healthy amount of fear of him, as he should. He once pondered aloud about having his most famous series end in the heroes tragic demise... Mordred only had to give him a murderous look before Rosewood decided it was in his best interest to make it a happy ending instead.

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #Tav #OC #Mordred #Mallory #Malice #Rosewood #dark urge #They're my sillies. #Not sure if it was obvious or not but re: Mordred/Malice she is domming him to next Wednesday. Eviscerated one might say. To shreds. #Mallory and Mordred have sibling dynamic. Mallory pulls some dumb shit and Mordred comes terribly close to killing him. This happens daily. #Rosewood is terrified of them but if anything happened to him these guys would commit and awful lot of atrocities in his name. #That's THEIR emotional support bard. #Mallory thinks Malice is pretty and gets big puppy eyes when he's around her. He has no idea what else to say/do other than to stare. #Rosewood attempts to play therapist with these guys. He truly is the 'I can fix them' teammate.

If you think women and girls being bombed is compatible with your feminist beliefs, you are wrong.

If you think women and girls being acceptable collateral damage to the things men have done is compatible with your feminist beliefs, you are wrong.

If you think retaliating by harming women and girls of one group for the harm done to women and girls of another group is compatible with your feminist beliefs, you are wrong.

If you think women and girls dying may be necessary to "liberate" the people, you are wrong.

#no this isn't solely about the Israeli attack on Gaza or the hostages Hamas took #but rather an attitude I've seen by so-called feminists regarding this and other conflicts and wars and massacres etc. #over the years #well decades now I guess I'm 36 lol #but anyway #I keep being reminded of the Iraqi women saying western feminists don't care if middle-eastern women are bombed #as long as they die with their genitals intact #your concern for non-western women cannot stop at the actions of non-western men #imperialism #it always weirded me out #how people would point to this or that atrocity committed by x group of people #to justify thinking of them as non-human #but their victims were...women and children of their own group #and it was like...but if they're monsters and it's down to something inherent aren't their victims also monsters? #and if they aren't then it can't be inherent to that group #so why would we support something that would further victimize those women and children? #as if western peoples don't have their own sordid histories #and not even all that long ago #both against other peoples #and against women and children of their own #not to mention the things they still do #and a lot of those things are done by men who are the loudest in saying x group of people are basically animals and should be put down #put yourself down first #but anyway if you're a woman and consider yourself a feminist #you can't be of the position that it's acceptable for some women to die in war or massacre or retaliation or whatever #no matter what justifications you have in your head for it
