Do you feel the same about Lewis pedophile friend Leo and that other actor who abused his wife?

I mean it's completely different, because we have actual info on some of Lewis' acquaintances that points to the fact that they're assholes.

With Charles' friends it's just a vibe.

#Do you feel offended by my opinion on Charles' friends Anon? #Did you feel the need to defend him from my opinion on his friends? #Did you think I'd feel the same way you do if you asked about Lewis abusers friends? #And that I'd defend him from it? #You took it to the wrong blog babe #Cause I personally don't have parasocial attachement to these millionaires and their shady entourages #Good luck to you though I hope you feel better soon #vro0m's asks

PJO SPOILERS!!!

Am I the only one who thinks some people are being a little harsh on Grover for "snitching" on Percy in Episode 1? I see some people saying Grover's character has been "ruined" by having him "betray" Percy and I'm just over here thinking that gaslighting your best friend for literal MONTHS on end is just as much, if not a worse betrayal then snitching on said friend in order to get them out of the danger zone immediately. Either way you look at it, Grover betrayed Percy in both versions, and honestly I think Grover's snitching was the kinder route to take; at least Percy wasn't questioning his own sanity for months, but a few hours.

And another thing too is that I'm kind of glad their friendship seems a little tense right now in the show, since I felt like in the book, Percy just sort of brushes off being literally lied to and gaslit by Grover for months. Don't get me wrong, I adore their friendship so much but it always kind of bothered me that they never really TALKED about the gaslighting period and how alone that made Percy feel to have even his best friend say everything that happened was all in his head. I don't know, I always just wanted there to be a scene where they actually talked about it and reconcile. So I'm hoping that since the show seems to be putting tension between Percy and Grover right now, that we'll hopefully get a moment of closure and reconciliation between them.

#I'm a TV Grover defender all the way #I love Grover #but you also can't deny that in both the book and show Grover 'betrayed' Percy #so please stop acting like him snitching on Percy is a betrayal when I'd say gaslighting him for months is even worse. #really it was the kinder thing to have Grover snitch on him #and its not like he did for any malicious reason. he was literally trying to just protect Percy be getting him away from the danger zone #if anything they should've tried getting Percy away from Yancy Academy as soon the Mrs. Dodds incident happened- #-rather than keep him there for several more months where more monsters could've easily of tracked him down like Alecto did. #So I'd argue the show actually did the smart thing by getting Percy away from Yancy as soon as possible rather than wait #I rest my case #thanks for coming to my Ted Talk #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson #percy jackson tv show #percy jackson series #percy jackson books #books vs show #percy jackson spoilers #grover underwood #my goat son #percy and grover

When Robin was first introduced, she had been working with Crocodile in Alabasta for the past several years, so I could understand her skin tone being a little lighter than it used to be, but not this bad.

It's extremely fucked up. I would understand the "it was an animation error" argument if it wasn't because it happens with all the characters (not only Robin) and they're whiter and whiter each episode (even the characters that should be black).

If we follow irl reasoning as you say, then all of them should be tanned because they're pirates. They're constantly under the sun. But no, they go backward and instead, they lack melanin every episode. It was already bad, but Egghead fucked up big time.

And don't get me started on Usopp because people could use that excuse on any other character, but Usopp?? I truly, really, don't think it takes too much thinking to get that he's black and Toei just keeps making him paler than Sanji. It's ridiculous and racist and people who ignore it or say it's been talked "too much" (because people say it and apparently there's a limit for them as to how much you can complain about racism) always get on my nerves.

What Toei is doing is just disgusting and people defending it are always the ones who refuse to see any mistakes in the things they like. News flash! You can like something and admit it has mistakes.

#also people are always so violent when they use the “error” argument. okay. whatever you say. calm down. god forbid characters have melanin #usopp's thing is just fucking horrible it makes me want to throw up #he's paler than ME. and i am white. sanji skin type of white. what the fuck is toei doing #and people trying to defend it are just-- awful. jacob did not play usopp for you to deny he's black i mean- #but also it was obvious from the very beginning #usopp's character has always been treated like shit in many ways. both in the fandom and within the story (opla when i fucking catch you-) #i'd write about it because i have things to say but a lot of the stuff would be way better written obviously by somebody who isn't white #so if somebody does write an essay or a post about usopp's character and how he's treated i'd like to read it #and maybe i could help a lil bit? because i have things to say about him (<- is obsessed with analyzing characters) and also uhhh #i'm spanish and the spanish dub is fucking awful to usopp and very racist and people don't talk about it but i think i could provide info #anyway this is SO long i am so sorry fuck toei my final message hate toei #one piece #usopp #nico robin

Those new friendship dialogue options. Man. This game, continuing the tradition of giving us one way to be nice to Halsin and an endless array of ways to be really mean to him while he's too tactful/kind/autistically oblivious to stand up for himself. "Honored to be your beast of burden" indeed.

Considering I firmly believe that Halsin was in the "bullied as a kid/teenager" and is currently in the "consistently imposed upon as an adult who does not fit within the 'norm' of society to the point that he's internalized and normalized being inherently disregarded as anything other than his physical appearance even when he has multiple times proven himself beyond it" camp, it does very much swim of: at this point what is really the point of standing up for myself/getting upset when I've already clearly indicated that I don't really like when people disregard my feelings? It's a coping mechanism - almost like he has been the bigger person his entire life (...literally and figuratively).

Wonder if he disapproves with that one, too. Unless at that point it's meant to be implied that since he's friends with the player character, he's okay with the animal association now, but like...I don't know, I genuinely don't think Halsin likes that regardless of who it's coming from or whether it's meant as a playful jab or not.

#maybe that's part of the reason the dudebros hate him so much - no matter how many times they are mean to him #he just plunders right on politely like haha good one ANYWAY #it also almost swims of i will not give you the satisfaction of seeing me upset from your immature jabs - i am far too mature for that #you dick #(not the last part but i'd like to say that last part) #BG3 Musing #Jemi gets asks #honestly though halsin i feel you friend im the same way too often #EDIT: also i just wonder if he thinks himself worth defending - he claims his body is just a vessel to serve nature with #and that he's nature's fiercest defender but suspiciously not his own - you wonder what the implications of that are #does make him drawing a line in the sand all the more powerful - if someone is used to being the bigger person *refuses* to be #you wonder at the implication there too

in a world with an aftg show (because it Has to be a show, not a movie) seth would have a Pretty Guy actor playing him who looked even prettier when he was sneering or scowling and people would make edits of him with the velocity + slo-mo effects and be like "i can fix him"

Ok so uh just to clear up my tags from yesterday bc i overthink everything & don't want ppl to get the wrong idea fjhdhg; when i say "liking/hating things the wrong way" i mostly mean having bigoted reasons for opinions or being a dick about them or being weirdly performative with/invested in fictional activism (and those same ppl tend to be the ones who make dragon age opinions a morality race smh).

And overall of course everyone is entitled to simply Not Like a character! And there is lots of valid criticism that i might even agree with! But i am also entitled to blocking ppl who are being overly negative about them; not because you're not allowed to do that or because you're wrong, but bc i like to curate my fandom experience and not going insane bc of constant discourse. Highly recommend doing that btw; blacklists are there for a reason and your mental health is important✌

#lay rambles #examples: if you do not jive with sera thats valid! if you 'defend' you not liking her by being abelist thats not valid! #if you love anders thats valid! if you tell people they are morally reprehensible if they dont like him that is not valid! #if you dont like the qunari bc theyre written badly thats valid! if you dont like them for racist reasons youre not valid! #simple as that <3 #ok i lied it is not simple as that there is ofc always nuance to everything #and there are some no-gos or side eyes from me that are way more subjective #and this goes both ways ofc!! you are absolutely entitled to block or unfollow me for any reason #(tho if i did sth that seriously upset you i'd appreciate letting me know so that i can learn & avoid it in the future) #but yea. #idk where exactly im going with this bc truth be told i am probably preaching to the choir here xD #bc again i do take care to curate my space and also ppl w similar tastes are gonna flock together #so. #im glad to have found such a nice corner in the fandom :)

Certain people like to give Lan Xichen grief over the Manhua "You're the only mistake Wangji has ever made" to Wei Ying. While that must have hurt, let's face it, it was the wake up call that Wei Ying needed because no half of WangXian was gonna do the concession. Lan Xichen had to do the whole thing himself. He fared way better than any of us would have in his position (It's the Jiang Cheng thing all over again).

How would you feel watching your little brother, who you've had to raise because of how absent your parents were. Your little brother who had never broken a single rule in his life suddenly getting mercilessly whipped publicly for defending a criminal. Whipped near to death. Then said little brother goes searching for someone that everyone watched die. Wangji comes back with A Yuan, claiming it's his child and I bet Lan Xichen was part of the forces that begged to let Wangji keep his son. Wangji was locked away in seclusion for three years and even after all that time his depression and regret was so great that he branded himself, right over his heart.

Wei Ying wasn't the one who helped Wangji get up every day, it was Xichen. Every day that Wangji might have considered just dying himself so he could be with Wei Ying, but stayed for his child and his brother. Lan Xichen was the one pulling Wangji through every damn day, probably cursing the day he encouraged him to befriend Wei Ying. Yet when Wei Ying came back, Lan Xichen still offered his home to hide him. Even if all that happened wasn't of Wei Ying's doing, he wasn't the one to live with the pain. Lan Wangji did, and indirectly, Lan Xichen as well. It's not easy watching someone you love so much suffer everyday. Just to see the person he risked everything for come back and be like "What do you mean Wangji loves me?" Imagine if at the end Wei Ying rejected Wangji's feelings? It's perfectly within his right to do so, but how terribly that would hurt Wangji. Knowing Wangji he'd be fine with loving Wei Ying from afar (that was the original plan anyway), but to watch him suffer like that was too much for Xichen and in a rare fit of rage he said some harsh words to Wei Ying. Lord knows I would have done so much worse, I know how I feel about the people I love. I can't stand for someone who seems to be playing with their heart.

Lan Xichen was more than just big brother, he was stand-in Father, Mother, friend. He was Wangji's closest confidant before Wei Ying and remained so after he was gone. He was also clan leader, had a lot of responsibility and handled them all solo so Wangji wouldn't be bothered by politics, and he'd just found his best friend was a murderer. He was going through a really hard time okay. Leave him alone. He is still captain of the WangXian ship, and he'd always give up his happiness if meant saving his brother.

#twin jades of gusu #went on a little rant #I'm just tired of people judging Lan Xichen #the poor guy has been through enough #poor lan xichen #lan xichen deserves a break #lan xichen #lan wangji #wangxian #wangxian ship #wei wuxian #wei ying #mdzs manhua #give that manhua scene a break #Wei wuxian wasn't even mad and got lots of cuddles from his new boyfriend #if someone asked what's a character i never thought I'd have to defend #it would be Lan Xichen #Like they expect perfection from him and Jiang Cheng and if they're not perfect they don't deserve love #meanwhile Wei Ying and Lan Zhan are not held to the same standards

personally i'm glad we had a chance for a different attacking combo to play together, it's not clicking 100% but it took a minute for the starting attacking 4 to click and this deep defense was really tough to play against. copenhagen improved their match plan from last time and also we were trying way less hard to win here. genuinely i don't think tuchel has done anything wrong today

#i will criticize him my fair share but this was always going to be like this #copenhagen are not a bad side and we let them have like... 2 decent chances #and then they parked the bus #solid defensive performance from us #i'd rather we defend well in this kind of situation than be a perfect attack #we're not likely to be facing a deep block like this in the knockouts #bayern

Also I've been obsessed w/ this tweet and can't believe I haven't seen more people talking about it So shares it w/ y'all

#like man #if I were to get fucking dogged on like this AFTER saying something like that full confidence #i'd delete everything and kms #how is there any coming back from ur own dad coming and fucking dogging on u #and theres still people trying to defend him/make excuses #he's peak pathetic #i hope is disassembles himself lmaaaaao

Feeling really emotional about Levi tonight as usual sorry everybody. I luv my partner sosososo much I want to love and care for him. I would like to make him a warm drink and bring it up to him while he's busy with whatever it'd be that he's doing. I would speak to the sales associates so he doesn't have to

#atari.luv #I will protect him. From the cold. From having to order his own food. Whatever #I'm sure he could defend himself better against actual life threatening things than I could but I get to take care of everything else OK #I'd like to pet him on the head also and tell him I'm proud of him just to watch him implode over it #Sorry I'm really normal.

hi, I just wanted to ask something. This has been bugging me for a while, but how come you're not as mad as Archie as you are at Betty? it takes TWO people to kiss...

Why hello!! I'm more than happy to rant about this because it's been on my BRAIN, just sitting there, so thanks for giving me an opportunity :D

So, I'm going to assume you're asking why I don't hold Betty and Archie to the same standard when it comes to bringing up the b*ghead break up/the infamous double judas kiss that started it all. To be as frank as possible; It's very much favoritism. But the justified kind, so lower your pitchforks.

Just by a quick scroll to my blog, I think it's unmistakably evident I like Archie over Betty; Like a red dot in a white room. You can't miss it. It's there. And as third party viewers, our individual feelings, opinion, and attachments we form towards these characters motivate the moral standards we set for them.

Take a generous majority of Betty stans, for example; Despite being united by the same romantic relationship in the show, they have a direct connection in strongly disliking the male half of said relationship; Jughead.

Betty is very much the golden child of B*gheads, so I figured it was fair game. Arguably, you can say some of them maintain some objectivism, but not enough for me to consider it valuable.

Now, am I saying Archie's a perfect angel who could do no wrong? That because he's the fandom's ' haha, big himbo Boi golden retriever stupid wholesome jock' means all guilt and responsibility should be absorbed from his part? No! Absolutely not.

I don't think there's anyone in this fandom who hates the " Archie is a perfect angel and our annoying but beloved protagonist " narrative more than I do;

Fuck. No. Archie is a violent, careless, emotionally inept douchebag, who wouldn't know what a non-dysfunctional relationship was if it spit in his eye. But here's a thing, Archie isn't the protagonist; He's the antagonist.

Arguably speaking, Archie's the most morally ambiguous/morally grey character on the show, in my opinion. Not because he struggles with separating dark from light, but because he chooses both.

I can't really look at a kiss and all that other shit he's done and be like ' oh YEA, kissing was definetly worse!' the same logic can apply to Betty, but here's ANOTHER thing; Archie didn't owe Jughead loyalty.

Archie wasn't his boyfriend; Archie wasn't the one promising he won't do it again; Archie wasn't the one who went behind his back. He's the mistress in this scenario, and mistresses aren't morally indebted to anyone.

Betty was. She was Jughead's girlfriend. She was the one who sang " you're the only man for me" and yet does the opposite, on quite clear multiple times. (There's accounts of consecutive emotional cheating as well) and she's the one who's actions hurt Jughead the most because SHE was dating him.

Hell, Archie and Jughead were barely even friends; I'll even argue to say a constant theme in the show is the constant construction and reconstruction of Jarchie's friendship. How they fail to be friends but still choose eachother, over and over again, because they're held together by memories and nostalgia.

Of course I can't hold the same bitterness for Archie when his involvement and presence in Jughead's life doesn't hold the same impact as Betty's. Archie never promised him anything. Betty did.

At best, Archie owes Jughead an apology, but his real target of compensation should be his actual partner. Veronica. Archie owes her remorse.

I'll even go ahead and say it - the varchie break up hurt more because their relationship was build on actual meaningful, mature grounds.

b*ughead is a middle schooler's relationship goals. Which is to be expected because they were 16, teenagers, yet! Archie and Veronica happen to be characters with more experience in romance, both by direct and indirect contact. (From multiple partners to their own parents separating respectively)

I don't necessarily like comparing emotional damage; I do my best not to cherry pick. However, I don't think I owe cheaters the courtesy of fair thinking.

There's no good reason to cheat. It's a destructive, cruel, abusive act of disrespect towards your partner, and I'm not at all moved by Betty's performative remorse, especially because she clearly doesn't feel it as much as the fandom pushes it.

But I'll say it once and I'll say it for as long as I can; If anti Barchies dislike barchie because they like Betty, I dislike b*ghead because I love Jughead.

#i hope this doesn't come across as ' if your partner cheats on you with your friend - just forgive the friend' #like no obviously. they're BOTH culpable but there's a different standard for them from an emotional standpoint #riverdale #riverdale negativity #kinda #anti betty cooper #anti bughead #jughead jones #meta #archie andrews #veronica lodge #asks #i'd also go as far as to say i'm easier on archie bc he takes actual accountability for what he's done #he's not betty - he can't wear apathy disguised as remorse so he just doesn't find excuses for himself #when jughead confronts him (if you can even call it that) he doesn’t defend himself; he doesn’t expect jughead to just forget this happened #he especially doesn’t expect their relationship to ever be the same after. but like i mentioned - #archie and jughead have different maturity levels when it comes to relationships. betty is Jughead's first girlfriend #and of course he holds a strong attachment to her. in his mind he and betty will stay together forever #and re write their dark destinies with the power of love. archie - who had multiple partners with very different and distinct personalities #knows that's very much not the case. there's a certain realism archie has when it comes to romantic relationships that jughead #doesn't possess until later sessons

for a while ive been like hmmmmm is the reuben march arc the best stopping point for book one, like, is there enough oomph there, idk

but like. it does mean book one ends with some sweet sweet delicious emotional payoffs that have been building the entire story which I really enjoy

1. anxious passive pathetic doormat Nat who's been taking punches and taking punches and taking punches finally getting to fucking snap with righteous fury and get super bloody and violent and full of vengeance. we love a good Nat Snap in this house and how gleefully Quinn encourages it

2. the realisation that manipulative cool calm collected cruel calculating bastard Quinn Cooper, who always intended just to use Nat and ditch him when they're bored and not have any emotional attachment whatsoever, is completely utterly adoringly off-the-fucking-rails unhinged obsessed with him

#like idk quinn and nat have a lot of Homoerotic Tension(TM) throughout the story but quinn is super..... quinn... #cagey and mysterious w their feelings. tries to be secretive and subtle. no one is super sure at first what their motives are #what their true intentions are for nat after their intentions shift away from ''be a horrible human being'' #surprise! quinn is going to get bloody and unhinged and commit atrocities for this weird gremlin man they're head over heels #obsessively in love with #intensity at 10000000% #both nat n quinn get to get pushed to breaking point and get to snap in Very Fun Ways #nat finally lashes out properly and obviously no longer views himself as someone pathetic and weak and not deserving of #defending himself. no longer content to just Let Shit Happen To Him and be treated like a punching bag or a worthless nobody or #a mindless animal. he's a fucking living breathing person n deserves to live #n quinn is just >:3 hello I'm actually just fucking batshit obsessed with you and I'd burn the world down for you <3 #not that sweet gentle nat and manipulative bastard quinn stop existing. but we see the full extent of these other parts of them :3 hehehe #plus u get lots of unhinged morally dubious quinn early on but nat is so good and careful and patient <3 #u get glimpses of it but then during the climax u finally get 2 be like #ohhhhh okay yeah this guy is just as fucked up as quinn lol #a rental car takes a left down rake street and disappears
