#I doubt we listened to that

[0wllight]

White people in this community, you need to start listening to POC selfshippers more. It's very telling when you try to make positivity posts that were made for us about yourself in the tags or comments, when it's not about you. Please remember that so many things in this world are accommodating specifically towards white people and not us as POC, we are often not included or accounted for or even considered in many situations. While this may sound silly in the context of selfshipping, for many of us this is also done for fun, as an escape, or even as a coping mechanism just as much as some of you guys may consider it to be as well. And it hurts when something made to make us feel included is once again overstepped on by white people, just like we deal with so often in our real lives. Please try to consider that this space also is for us POC, and think really hard if you may be overstepping and be mindful of what you say. So many of you make excuses for your ignorant actions and need to learn accountability instead.

(White people can rb but don't comment.)

If it wasn't for the TMAGP ARG snippets I probably wouldn't be as obsessed about Sam but oh my goddd with what tiny we know about him I'm not over it. He's got a canon birthday (!!! He's 33 at the start of the show! It's p cool to know that tbh!) so we know when the Institute burned down, he was 9 year old. So at nine, maximum, he went through the Institute's child experiment. That's age he went through potentially a version of the Milgrim experiment! Mr. Spider whom, this child might have actively tortured someone because he was told to?? And that's probably the terrible event that was brought up in the interview but maybe it wasn't! Maybe it's something worse!! Oh no!!!

The guy scored the highest in empathy in the entire test group at 98% and now his job is experiencing other people's horrors like of course he can't help but look into them, of course he can't help but internalize them when Alice has warned him of what can happen, I'm so worried about this man!!!

#samama khalid #tmagp spoilers #tmagp arg #tbh i dont know how to handle the info we got from the ARG bc i still see them as spoilers for the podcast to those just listening? #so i just tag spoilers #also dont think im forgetting connor dyer but theres still a non zero chance that isnt Alice's dead bame #and i just cannot get a read on her yet weather her not knowing abt the institute is real #or just another way to protect herself #but yeah sam... almost know doubts he's marked already if that still happens in this universe #and for what end... another archavist...? or something new..... oh no....... #also he's just nice and needs to get back on his feet; what happened recently to make him so desperate for a job? :( #i could care less about potentially gay computers give me more of these new guys pls

“Red team was so selfish looking past the cursed team like that” listen man they were thinking about it often, and had evidence they were cursed too. They were convinced they were cursed too. Bad (with Pierre’s help I’ll be honest) singlehandedly destroyed any sort of civil relations and good faith between the two teams and this shot Blue in the foot when they tried to make the case about them being cursed last minute, about trying to rig it in the cursed teams favor.

There was never a cursed team in the first place, it was all a tactic to build paranoia and that feeling of betrayal and to get them to tear eachother a part. And it worked super well! At the end, neither would listen to the other about their evidence, not with an honest open ear, not with the willingness to think the other team could be cursed. It’s not a case of ‘Red just refused to listen because they wanted to win more than they cared’ they thought they were cursed too - if they were selfish, then so were Blue in the same way.

Every time Red had tried to talk first early on, it was met with extreme violence - and with Bad consistently proving he’ll play dirty to win, they didn’t trust Blue enough to listen to them in the later game. Maybe they should have listened then. Maybe Blue have listened earlier. The game worked as intended to set them against eachother.

#link is to another post I made back when they were debating about the cursed teams in purgatory and why red couldn’t trust blue and blue #couldn’t believe red. they were both stuck #and bless Tubbo he tried. he did try. but he was just as convinced he was right as Phil at the end. it was about convincing one another #more than it was about coming together and piecing together the evidence. yknow what I mean? they all cared about it but because of tension #and they also could not trust blue. which sucks because that’s hardly Tubbo’s fault but yknow #I dunno. it’s not simple like that. it’s not a case of red blowing it off being selfish not caring. they also thought they were cursed #AGAIN I’ll say it again bad burning bridges fucked a lot of them over for when diplomacy had to win because there could not be benefit of #the doubt or good faith or any sort of trust #it’s not just cut and dry red wanted to win more or blue wanted to win more. it was complicated and had way more factors #red thought they were cursed too!! they had solid evidence for this too!! #and like. again it’s a case of both parties kinda suck purgatory sucked it was always going to be like that because the game worked as #intended #idk. blue should have listened to red early on. red should have listened to blue later on. they were never going to do that on either side #idk from Tina’s pov it’s understandable why she said what she said. but knowing the others pov and what actually went down that’s not what #happened at all yknow? #they’re all gonna be feeling the effects of ‘we killed and betrayed eachother for two weeks’ for a while to come #mcyt #qsmp #qsmp purgatory #z speaks

Barnaby has service dog characteristics, where he can sense distress and the beginnings of a potential stroke/seizure, and thus provides whatever support he can in response, change my mind—

i can't because i Literally Can't 🫡

#the thing my mind usually goes to when it comes to assigning solidly Dog attributes #is that barnaby is Not a dog #hes a dog shaped puppet #i know im guilty of givin him some little dog things in my scribbles but when seriously considering Him as a Character #from what we know he is very much just a dog in name and appearance #other than that hes a Guy! hes just a funny distinguished fella #he walks on all fours to be closer to his pals not bc its in his nature #you know? #i doubt barnaby would know how to actually act like a real dog if he had to.... #he knows the pun he knows the jokes the bits the Chasing the Mailman thing #but beyond that! he seems like just a guy shaped like a big blue dog! #thank you for listening to my teeny tiny lukewarm not-really analysis #rambles from the bog #i think thats a big part of puppets #theyre shaped like so many things but. theyre Not that thing. #puppets are made liars simply by existing

Do you ever look at a character and immediately think "this one is gonna try to rizz up one of the mcs and they're going to succeed" for no discernable reason

This is who I'm talking about btw

#I have no proof but also no doubts #idk why though he hasn't done anything yet 😭 #WE DON'T EVEN KNOW HIS NAME #but for some reason my mind is CONVINCED he'll try something w cheng xiaoshi #pls tell me I'm not the only one that sees it 😭😭😭 #actually no don't listen to me LMAO #link click #shiguang daili ren

one of my favorite parts of playing wizard101 is (and i mean this in an entirely lighthearted way and with all the affection in my heart) trying to figure out if one of the worlds is racist or not. its like a little game for me. im tallying up points and weighing them against the fact that i dont really know enough about the cultures in question to figure it out.

#nnstuff #rambling #wizard101 #im in zafaria right now and while i dont know much about africa and its various cultures countries and accents #its kind of weird listening to voice acting that sounds like an off version of my dads accent #for what its worth i doubt my dad would care #but i also kind of wonder if we had a better relationship i would feel comfortable asking him for his opinion

I know the dudebros who pitched the theory of Zoro scarring (possibly removing) his very own eye in order to draw out his Observation Haki did so because they thought it was cool and badass. But personally. I’d be fucking devastated man. Thinking of the context and specially considering Zoro’s mental state in Kuraigana Island after being left in pieces by Kuma and discovering he’d failed to be there for Luffy at Marineford- listen. He’s always been portrayed as having very self-punishing tendencies since at least Alabasta, so if this was truly what happened, I don’t think it’d be portrayed as an empowering moment of manliness at all. I certainly wouldn’t want it to be.

#do you understand what I’m getting at like hurting yourself so permanently at a vague attempt to become powerful just a little bit faster is #NOT GOOD. like listen to the hypothetical theyre posing about why Zoro would do that to himself #Its far more akin to Sanji allowing himself to be beaten almost to death by a woman due to his principles (frowned upon by the narrative) #Than Zoro allowing himself to be struck down by Mihawk in order to fall honorably (praised by the narrative!) #(because one is a meaningless sacrifice for arbitrary reasons and the other is a sacrifice meant to honor a dream and an oponent) #Since we know that eyeball removal isnt the only way to get observation haki then the gesture would be meaningless #just the result of a warped mentality regarding his own strength and role as a crewmate #if Oda wanted to take Zoro’s story down that path at any point in the story (not entirely unlikely?) #I doubt it would play out the way some of these dudes on twitter and reddit theorize. The tone they use when discussing this eye theory- #-just seems out of place to me. #roronoa zoro #one piece #my post

my psychiatrist confirmed that i am in fact autistic

#all of my friends were like 'no really?!!! i had no idea“ listen i know we all know but i wanted to know For Sure #she's very 'aspergers' and 'you're going to learn how to make eye contact' about it because czech psychiatry is... well #but overall the other stuff she said checks out and im happy I don't have to live in constant self doubt anymore #now she's not completely sure i have adhd tho because my attention is mostly normal according to tests #but she's also not opposed to me having both like it's definitely still possible she just wants to focus on mainly treating my anxiety rn #she was like 'so it would make sense that you're living in social isolation' #me with most friends I've ever had in my entire life: :-) #i was like 'no i have friends they just all have adhd or autism too' #i mean i am still socially isolated. i oftentimes feel like other people are living behind a glass wall and i can't reach them #but i took it literally in the 'you are alone and no one talks to you' sense #anyway #i am disappointed none of my friends sent me 'náš auťák' from the czech Grease dubbing #i have many feelings about this but they are difficult to put into words so autism creature gift shall suffice

I just got through the Earthlings arc during my SU rewatch and im absolutely facinated by Jaspers character

She’s such an effective antagonist for so long because she clashes with every other character so fundamentally. She’s got this completely foreign to the show worldview that is shown to be contrary to what the rest of the show is trying to say but she still feels like a real person and when you think about her she’s just as much a product of her circumstances as anyone else. She doesn’t want to talk it out with Steven because why would she? She was literally born to fight as has been doing so since the second she was born, it’s all she’s ever known and has been drilled into her head that that’s what’s expected of her, she’s rewarded for fighting well and watches as others are punished for doing badly, either by losing or by facing consequences for failing.

And then there’s the whole “perfect solider” part of her character. She was literally born more capable and with a higher status than everyone else. But because of the way home world is structured to reward her and punish people like the off-colours, she’s been indoctrinated into thinking that the reason she came out on top had nothing to do with how she was made and everything to do with her behaviour and attitude. Peak “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” type person but because it’s a fictional story you can see what happened to make her this way. Her and amethyst are fundamentally different, they’re different quartzes, they were born in different places, they were just created differently, from the start jasper was always going to be better at some things than amethyst and amethyst would be better at others than jasper. But because of the way jasper has been “raised” for lack of a better word she doesn’t see that, she doesn’t understand that her and amethyst are simply different gems who were made different, she’s better at fighting and is picture image of what a quartz “should” be so that means it’s possible and anyone who can’t live up to that standard simply isn’t trying hard enough. And she even manages to get that into amethysts head, if jasper is capable of this then that means that amethyst must be too, even tho that’s simply not true. Through no fault of her own amethyst would have to try infinitely harder to achieve even close to where jasper is, jasper started out with a huge head start and trying to play catch up does nothing but hurt amethyst. It’s such a good analogy for so many things I think

Her main role in the story is serving as a character who simply refuses to talk it out with Steven, but again, why would she? From her perspective the entire reason her life is like this, she reason shes spent her life fighting endlessly, all the suffering shes lives through, its his fault. Rose Quartz started the war she was quite literally born to fight in. Rose Quartz also ended that same war by killing the only person jasper ever had to look up to, forced her out of the only reason she had for existing (both as in to fight the war and to serve Pink Diamond). And then heres Rose Quartz once again, saying she wants to help her? Where was she offering help when jasper when she was living to fight as much as she was fighting to live? Where was this „help“ when she shattered Pink Diamond and Jaspers entire world with her? „Help“? Help my ass shes the reason everything thats gone wrong in jaspers life went wrong in the first place

And then she gets poofed at her lowest point, gets removed from the story entirely until Future, and Future does nothing to make anything better for her! Last jasper knew the person shes been seeking revenge on her entire existence cant even be bothered to remember what she did, and then she loses herself to the Earth and corruption, the very things she prided herself on being better than.

And then suddenly shes brought back and „hey guess what! That war we created you to fight in? The one you created your entire person around? The one you lost Everything in? Yeah so it was pointless. Actually the person you idolised for the past 6000 years is the same person who you thought killed her and have been seeking vengeance on for the same amount of time. Crazy how that happens. Anyways so do you wanna come hang out with us now that we sorted that out and were chill about it?“

Can you even IMAGINE what that feels like? No wonder she runs off into the woods and becomes a hermit what else is she supposed to do! Shes got nowhere to go! Her entire life has been turned on its head and she’s expected to just move on! That’s ridiculous!

And thats just the backdrop for her appearance in Future. When she finally does appear they kill her and thats the first and only time we ever see her happy. Someone Finally speaks to her in a way she can understand and she actually dies, and uses that to find herself a purpose. If steven is powerful enough to shatter her, a feat never before seen by a gem, then sure she can serve him, anything to give her life purpose again. and then they just forget about her! Steven literally ditched her in his house! They pull the rug out from under her Once Again. but now she can be „normal“ now she can do what other people want her to do so they all assume shes „better“ now.

I think future did her so dirty the original show handles her character So Well and im not really sure how else they could have gone further with her character because people like Jasper in real life dont really change. And if she were to change and agree with steven it would feel like the show saying steven was right and jasper was wrong and she should have listened to him from the start. Shes such an interesting character to delve into because shes the antagonist yes but shes a very specific type or antagonist that doesnt appear very often and when it does its not with as much backstory, even if just implied, or delving into the thoughts behind the actions. Its so interesting to me

#hi my name is duck and im normal about steven universe characters #steven universe #su jasper #su rose quartz #su pink diamond #su analysis #Tree Man Posts #me when i go to the bestie gc and yell about jasper for an hour straight #listen okay. Jasper. #thanks for listening #no seriously i love thinking about jasper. shes such a product of her environment #but in a different way to all the other characters #and she has such a different just fundamental worldview compared to every other character and esp compared to Steven #she represents the kind of person who i see in real life but can’t understand why they are the way they are #but jasper. being a fictional character. means that i Can i Can look at all her appearences and consider other sources of information #and really Think about why she is the way she is. and at the wnd i dont even think she’s unjustified in her actions #i highly doubt anyone else in her position would have come out any different #len look what you did you supposed my jasper analysis and now here we are

I wonder if there’s a part of Eurylochus that resents Polites

#because like #out of everyone in the crew that WE know of in epic Polites is the only one that Ody actually listens to and follows through #not saying Ody doesn’t listen to Eurylochus bc he does and E is the second hand man for a reason #but Eurylochus is definitely more prone to violence & doubt compared to Polites which is why Ody even considers P’s option of diplomacy mor #tbh i don’t think E even minded in the past bc P was literally the whole crew’s impulse control and moral compass (in the context of epic) #bc out of everyone P was the only one who still thought to approach the unknown with open arms #sure it’s naive especially in the world they live in #but also they can’t help but be drawn to the option bc above all humans crave connection through community rather than war #(but that’s my own opinion leaking out—this whole post is my opinion lol) #but then Polites dies and now all Eurylochus sees is the fact that Polites was WRONG & yet he watches as Ody continues to live by P’s code #he watches as Ody leaves them to ask a god for help (after Athena abandoned them) #he watches as their consequences of mercy come back to bite them in the form of Poseidon #he watches and i wonder #epic the musical #eurylochus #epic the musical eurylochus

#regardless of what nickel did to balloon they NEED to apologize to suitcase for putting her through the Literal actual horrors #she's gonna come back to hotel oj see that they're friends now and start beating nickel's ass and i dont blame her even a little bit tbh! #i love nickel as a character but bro fucked up w/ suitcase #and bcuz she's stuck in season 2 purgatory there's no way for that arc to get closure right now so im just like #well we're all forgeting to apologizr to SOMEBODY arent we!!! #baseball too i wish i knew how to fix this. baseball you cant fix this it doesnt just go away but you're here you're listening so thanks :) #i mean im sure they've got their own bullshit going on in s2 right now not a doubt in my mind. nickel is not suitcase's most important issue #atm they're about to get killed by robots built for actual literal genocide FJDMDMDKSJS #txt #inanimate insanity
