i am once again thinking about the fact that Wriothesley was taken in by his foster parents when he was just a baby

he probably took his first steps trying to run towards his mother. maybe his father sat down and practiced speaking with him because he couldn't make a 'sh' sound as a toddler.

they would have read him bedtime stories and sung lullabies and patched up his scrapes and bruises from playing. kissed him on the forehead and gave him piggyback rides when he was too tired to walk.

and all that time, the entire time, they only saw him as a way to make money. they knew they were going to sell him off to someone who would most likely hurt him and at best put him to work somewhere at a way too young age. they didn't give a fuck.

Wriothesley, buddy, how are you in any way emotionally stable??

(edit: i don't actually believe he's emotionally stable, but i think that he thinks he is. check the reblogs for some proper character analysis takes!)

#genshin #wriothesley #like what kind of absolutely horrible people could do that. be that detached. not love a child they raised but still pretend they did #no wonder he openly says he can't trust anyone. how could he ever? #made the edit because i realized that last sentence practically invites people to go 'dude what do you mean hes so obviously messed up' #which i know. thats why i love him. deeply traumatized and barely holding on but he will give you a thumbs up and say hes fine

😂😂😂 I loved Anakin's reaction to Ezra. I can't even imagine what would happen if Luke would come home with Din as a boyfriend. I think Anakin would have a screaming fit. 😂

I drew Anakin's reaction to Din as the opposite to that the other week loll, bc I think Din would do surprisingly well at meet the parents!! ...largely because he'd say about 2 words an hour at MOST (hes nervous-ish) and therefore doesn't say anything wrong on the first meeting!

and if he's manda'lor then he's ABSOLUTELY got both parents' favour bc 1. he is/ seems like a cool successful leader and not a shithead scrapheap smuggler (coughing looking at SOMEONE'S boyfriend) so anidala r like wow he might be good enough for our baby and 2. Padme sees a fellow leader and a political ally loll (even if din has no idea what hes doing w politics or whatever)

#by the time din messes up conversations anakin's already gotten attached so its fine #AND he's got the extended family win bc he's a mando thats friends-ish w bo katan which gets obi-wan and ahsoka to like him #and.2 if he's got greg then theyre gonna be like wow responsible! has his own child AND a planet #dinluke #thanks for the ask!

Karen: LMAO every guy I meet reminds me of my big brothers that's so funny except if Paul is already my brother and you're also a brother that's a bit awkward, huh Hot bartender: THATS MOVING REALLY FAST AND I LIKE YOU AS A PERSON BUT - Karen: having my brothers date would be SO WEIRD Hot bartender: Well on the bright side I literally cannot speak more than five words to him so we aren't dating because he's so cute

(Everyone else: that is somehow the most depressing bright side we never want to hear)

#my characters #oops i fell in love #I just think its really funny how i view so many of the cast as either the only child or #somehow still the only child but with twin cousins that he grew up with somewhat like siblings but is older than them #and then THESE TWO LOSERS (beloveds) are definitely younger siblings #there is no way Karen developed her personality without the help of older brothers #there is also a very funny and agonizing thing where she is super single cause she can't view a guy as more than a brother #she meets an asshole and is like wow just getting huge brother vibes from him wtf #and meets the nicest man possible and is like HOW IS HE ALSO LIKE A BROTHER I WILL NEVER LOVE ROMANTICALLY #and she has all of the guy friends and its very clear if they were interested she has long since friendzoned them #but its fine because they all are also convinced that shes exactly what it would be like to have a brother #so its fine its all good no one really agonizes over not romancing her and she just as a found family in everyone #hi my name is salmon and you may recall my feheroes experience where i want to give a certain male all of the siblings #the sibling adopter extraordinaire ? yeah thats basically karen now that i think about it #you know one time at work at my first job there was a girl who had a crush on a guy and we all worked the same shift a lot #and one day she was whining because he was so friendly to me and he looks at the girl straight faced and says #ITS BROS BEFORE HOES aint that right and im like uh huh sure thats exactly right #and later i told him i really wanted to know where she went wrong because i had a crush on him in school until he opened his mouth #and hes like yeah sucks to wanna date me you made the right choice #and i just ..... will never forget that weird guy #he saw me in a hoodie once and goes NO WAY I HAVE THE SAME ONE and then makes sure he brings it in next time we work together to prove it #he was like an annoying younger brother to me and i thought it was very funny that apparently i too am a sibling to him #i might be adopted and i might be biased but i think everyone could use an adopted sibling that they dont live with #thats a special bond ok im just sayin #also sorry its so late tonight i had some uhhhhhh problems haha

A weird thing about reading ATB is definitely how relatable Tobio's "power" is as an epileptic person. Like just this description is like yeah that's exactly what its like when a seizure is coming on (and since auditory hallucinations are part of my seizures I can interpolate that from Tobio "communicating" with others)

What I kind of like about it is that sometimes Tobio will experience one of these "communications" and within seconds go back to what he was doing, basically unbothered. Which is sometimes just what seizures look like (and sometimes they don't even 'look' like anything and go completely unnoticed!) I'm sure they aren't deliberately going for epilepsy when writing this narrative but even so seeing a character experience relatively muted and unobtrusive "seizures" is kind of nice for a change

#atom the beginning #tobio tenma #I know that this is leading up to the looming horrible dread of what will happen to tobio later and is probably going to become worse #so like its probably going to become more dramatized in further chapters #but its still nice to see Tobio just go back to normal during one of these episodes while everyone around him is panicking #and hes just like im fine! :) bc thats how it usually is for me #a lot of it is people around me freaking out or getting super worried and meanwhile I am fine lol #but yeah definitely not a 1 to 1 because tobio is probably actively doing horrible damage to himself stop that child

slides into ur inbox as a tim-liker not to start a fight but to genuinely ask if i could gently change ur mind👀👀 bc tim's not that bad if you'd give him a chance (he is very cringe tho

It's not that I don't like him!! But sometimes it just gets exhausting to see "he suffered so much to keep the big bad bat alive" takes like Alfred wasn't right there

#like im sorry if i was a grieving parent and people literally attacked me for not being rational and in the best state of mind #while im literally grieving my murdered child and some kid came into my life because he wants to be robin and keep batman going #yeah i would be a little irritated #but it feels so mean spirited of me in a way? because i never want to shit on someones character #also i just dont like the 'child is responsible for parent' trope at all and it just feels like tim is so martyrized by the fandom #but i also dont like the 'tim forced his way into the family blah blah blah' like. no he didn't. the whole point of tim to me is that #he doesnt NEED to be with the batfamily but he WANTS to be there bc he loves them #its kinda how i feel abt steph. i actually really that she doesn't want to be seen as Bruce's daughter #because steph never NEEDED a father thats her whole point i think #so basically i dont dislike tim. i would just be fine without him. but like -- my favorite batboy is jason so maybe thats why? #anyway moral of the story if a character makes you happy they make you happy and its no one elses business

Feeling very violent rn so here's a very controversial opinion:

Everything after season one of Young Justice sucked.

Look, I know I'm obsessed with the show but that doesn't mean it's good, it means that I'm too deep into it at this point to get out. There are good moments within the other seasons but in general? They were not good.

I'm sorry. I understand that they wanted to be creative and have a neat narrative and deep lore and all that. And they do! The narrative and lore is extremely deep.

But the plot? The characters??

Season one was an actual functional show that balanced character development, plot and dialogue with world building, lore and messaging.

The other seasons do not do that.

Season two bounced back and forth between like 16 characters. We got some development for some characters but even that was minimal compared to the character development in S1. And this isn't me complaining that the og group wasn't in S2 enough. That's not my issue. I would've loved to focus on a new group and I think that Jaime, Bart, Ed and Gar would've been super cool to focus on. I loved what character development they did have and I craved more.

But the problem? The problem is when you have 16 fucking characters that you are trying to develop and shove into a coherent plot and have actual meaningful scenes. There just wasn't enough focus on S2. Imo, S2 was meh because the characters got left by the wayside. The plot, dialogue, world building, lore and messaging was fine, there just seemed to be a lack of heart/warmth in the show because of the characters. It's hard to get invested.

Then holy shit. S3 introduced more characters. And the plot got more contrived and 'big picture' to the point that it started to abstract. It felt like nothing mattered. There were no stakes, you were just watching things happen. There was 50 fucking things happening an episode and 80% of it was lore/world building. It felt like I was studying for a fictional history exam.

I'm pretty sure the main character in S3 was earth 16. Just the entire universe. Because goddamn. We checked in on almost every living being and EVERYTHING was a plot point. Most of it wasn't even relevant to anything happening in the season. Man it was.... it was bad.

And at that point it just wasn't enjoyable at all to watch. I probably should've stopped watching but at that point the sunk cost fallacy had already kicked in. I knew it could be good. Maybe it could be good again. And people were constantly praising it as cinematic genius so I was like 'okay well maybe I'm missing the point? Maybe you aren't supposed to enjoy shows? Maybe this is fine?'

But season four broke me.

The creators heard that people were frustrated by the lack of character focus and the episodes following 72 characters and the episodes switching between 50 different subplots every episode and their solution? Their solution was to take allllllll the different unconnected plots and, instead of evenly spreading them throughout the season, jam them all into 'arcs'. So you had a bunch of mini seasons consisting of 3-5 episodes dedicated to a cast of ~5-8 characters (some of them new). And each of these episodes had unconnected a plots, b plots and c plots.

THAT IS NOT A SOLUTION

Holy shit that is not a solution.

Not to mention the overarching plot of the season, in which we had no fucking clue what was happening until the final episodes where everything became a speedrun to wrap everything up. We literally had no idea what the main plot was until it was ending.

Good god it was bad. It's bad writing!

I know people liked it and good for them. You should like what you like and you don't have to justify it. But for me it was insanity. I'm sorry I actually don't want a season long subplot where Beast Boy is depressed and sleeps all day. I would be cool with it if it had anything to do with the larger story but, surprisingly, spending five minutes watching Beast Boy sleep every episode didn't make for compelling storytelling.

I'm still not over how we didn't even know who the main villain was until the end of the season. And then all of a sudden he does a villain monologue to tell everyone his evil plan and his motives. Super cool actually. I love it when I have no idea what the stakes are for the majority of a show. It's incredibly good storytelling when you leave the audience in the dark about a major player in the plot for all of the plot. And then doing an info dump evil monologue in the final episodes to rush through the explanation??? Fucking fantastic and not a sign of terrible pacing at all.

I'm just so frustrated. The show isn't about being a show anymore. The show is an entire cinematic universe shoved into 20 something episodes. It's desperate to tell every single story at once, audience, pacing and good writing be damned.

I'm so tired of the constant praising of Greg. His whole 'i don't write endings because life doesn't have endings' and 'i don't write cliffhangers, I just leave things open ended' thing is pretentious bullshit. I'm tired of pretending it's not. A good story has an ending. Stories are not life! Some of the best shows I've ever watched had planned endings. And oh my god. The cliffhanger thing... that's just semantics my guy. Greg you write cliffhangers. You can insist they aren't but I'm going to call a spade a spade.

It's also.... I'm fine with explaining things, in fact I love it because it's an excuse to talk about the stuff I love, and I have a fairly decent knowledge of comic book lore. So, I could not only understand what was happening in the show but I was also super enthusiastic about explaining it to people. But hey Greg? Hey buddy? If 90% of your audience doesn't know what the fuck is going on and needs to be familiar with super specific obscure comic characters from the 70's then you might have a problem.

I think I realized halfway through s4 that the most enjoyment I got from an episode was when an obscure comic character would cameo in it. But then I realized that a) they generally weren't explained at all and b) 50% of the time they weren't just hanging out in the background and they were vital to the plot. So to understand who the fuck they were and what the fuck was happening you had to be familiar with... well all of DC comics actually.

Anyway this rant is getting long and unhinged and I don't think there's a point so I'm going to cut myself off even though I have so much more to say on the topic. I think my general point is just that I didn't enjoy watching the later seasons and it's chill if you did and we should all respect each other's opinions ✌️

#rant #oh also the messaging sucked #the messages itself were fine. like 'you should go to therapy if you are depressed' and 'respect people's religions' and #'figuring out your gender/sexual identity is chill af' #those are great messages. the content is great and i don't disagree #BUT HOLY FUCK #yo Zatara ranting about his religion to Fate for 15 minutes is not how you get a message across #messages are supposed to be like themes and subtle points of the narrative #it's not supposed to be a fucking psa where the characters just talk for half the episode and say the message verbatim to the audience #itd be like if in season one M'gann stood up and spent ten minutes talking about the damaging psychological effects of body image issues #and everyone else just sat there and nothing happened and M'gann just kinda spoke about it #or if Artemis was just like 'im going to do a presentation on why child abuse is bad' #its just. thats not. thats not how messages in a plot work #but they didn't develop the characters enough. so instead of s1 where the messages were blatantly obvious #we just had side character zatara who we know nothing about talk about religion like he was doing a PSA for kindergartners #because we don't know his character and he had zero focus so that was literally the only way to get the message across #and im sorry but that's bad writing. if you are sacrificing character plot and narrative for a message then maybe scrap the message #or you know actually have a developed character do the message. like write the message through a developed character so it doesn't #need to be spoonfed to the audience like we're five year olds learning different shapes from a teacher

bruce and dick got some emotional incest going on

hmmm not sure i quite agree anon! i can see where that might be the case, as even i tend to harp on those co-dependency these two display sometimes, but i don't think emotional incest is what is going on there. for those that do not know what this term means, emotional incest is when a parent or primary caregiver begins to rely on their child like they would a partner for their emotional needs. it does not involve any sexual or physical intimacy, as that would be sexual abuse. while i do think what bruce and dick shared was something close to toxic, it was also how they in general functioned? idk that doesn't make sense. i'll put it like this- bruce never thought to rely on dick for emotional needs. in fact, i would argue he tried not to rely on anyone for his emotional well being, and this is what causes most of the divides and troubles in his life. however, dick being a naturally perceptive person, recognized how closed off bruce is/was, and took it upon himself to try and get bruce to open up more and be emotionally present instead of constantly shutting down and shoving people away. the whole "child of an alcoholic" sums it up neatly, imo, bc bruce never intentionally relied on or even asked for dick to help solve his problems. a lot of the bumps in their relationship came from the fact that he felt dick was getting too close or wanted to help bruce too much, which not only frightened bruce but i think also made him aware of how much he couldn't do without the help of dick pointing things out to him

emotional incest isn't quite the right term to describe them, imo, and i think when you get into a space where ppl are constantly talking about it and implying that sort of thing, it's easy to be convinced that that is what they have. it's important, however, to also look at how bruce and dick are doing currently/in the past current canon/past the batman and robin dynamic. one of the long-term affects of being in an emotionally incestuous relationship is being unable to set boundaries or even recognize what a normal relationship with others is like, and with the added context of this being a superhero/vigilante world, i would argue that they are both doing just fine without each other. obviously we have to account for the sheer number of times they've been in life or death situations and whatnot, but i think dick functions quite well on his own and with the others in his life, and bruce does, too. both are mentally ill, i think, but they are also coping pretty well imo

#they def do have the unbreakable tie that binds but i dont think thats stopping either of them from #living out their lives and setting boundaries when need be #idk how many times dick has moved or run away when shit hits the fan with bruce or anyone else #so hes obvs fine setting that kind of hard line (which isnt healthy rlly but its better than no boundaries) #just as well- bruce and dick understand each other in a way others just cant and that mainly has to do with #their common circumstances- the imbalance there being that one was a child and the other their guardian but thats comics for you #am i making sense? i have other posts that explain their relationship better #but like i said- i think child of an alcoholic fits better than any kind of label like emotional incest #ask #anon #ask game

Adopting a new cat is hard and EXTREMELY draining so I’m so happy you’re happy!!! This motherfucker day TWO had clawed a hole in the carpet of his quarantine room, taken chunks out of the door for fun, smelled just terrible and hunted down the only piece of chocolate in the entire house to eat it while i was asleep. I don’t even know where it came from it was Christmas themed and we were in March. He’s fine though!

The wet food was a good call! And I’m glad you saw your cat was so happy about it, it sounds like their foster or previous owner might have expected them to be more like a dog? Maybe more self sufficient?? WRONG cats are two year olds. Keep us updated, I love your cat posts!

CATS ARE TWO YEAR OLDS!!! oh my god they are just as stinky just as fussy and my cat is a just as much of a Fking dumbass-

he’s silly and i love him more and more each day but ngl a tiny part of me is like i am HAHA keep that up and im going to give u away-

#petting him aggressively as we speak #he jumped into the toilet bowl #snd then put up a fight in the bath #i hate him so much #idk how he’s stinkier post bath but he is #literally so annoying i fed him a meal worth of treats #pos #i have cried to my mom so many times and shes like such is it to rais a child #i had to squish that cat #straight up so glad i trimmed his nails #and had the foresight to buy cat shampoo #i almost didnt and regretted purchasing it #bc i was like he cleans himself fine #THE VERY NEXT DAY THIS HAPPENS #moral is always buy cat shampoo You Will Need it #also just to be clear he fell asleep as i was petting and scritching him #and im mad at this too #u flung litter and peepee water into my eye and ur tail smells like poop #thats unrelated to the bath but it does

it's so funny to me that most of what dream consumes over the course of the entire series is alcohol. like of course he'd be the world's first male wine mom.

#arguably one of my favorite fun facts to hand out to people unaware of the series #like #this is dream of the endless also known as lord morpheus or 15 other names idk he has more names than friends (thats canon) and he is the #second from middle child in a family of universal concepts built into the fabric of reality and he is very sad about it. he's goth and his #best friends are a bird and his librarian and his older sister and some random guy said sister made immortal for a bet. #hes so so lonely and has a string of exes to make scott pilgrim faint as well as a wife he is divorced from. she is the muse calliope. and #he only drinks alcohol but its fine because he also probably doesnt have intestines. he has committed atrocities but he didnt meeaann toooo #and i love him dearly. thoughts? #thats my sales pitch #dream of the endless #the sandman #raspberry rambles

Eh, I guess you aren't too wrong with leaders and those who follow. But you must know it's not a rule. It's not a static law. Nature is wild. It follows no pattern.

You have mutuals right? Friends you met, that demand nothing from you and you don't demand anything from them. You just spend time together. No one commands the other. You hang out with James at your book club. You seem like good buddies with Chimer. And so on.

Do you think they have someone who "leads" them? The lead themselves if anything. Their own dreams, wishes and intent. You can do so to.

Misc.

You don't need a master. You are your own. Always. Always have been. You hold your own fate.

#(its scary when you suddenly became independent) #(moving out of the house can be over welming compare the easy life as a child) #(thats how misc feel with out a master to fallow) #(or at least been ingrained in them) #(even though they been self independent this whole time just fine. >.>) #(everyone around misc is stronger than them automatically! thats how they see it. >w>) #(no ifs or butts!) #(no master?
