#People think I’m naive

[impish-ivy]

why can't you say more in relation to the post about archiving om stuff? that's an easy way to give ppl anxiety

Because it involves leaks and I’m not the person who would be at risk if I told you or anyone else what it was. Sorry, that’s just how it is.

If it makes you feel any better it probably won’t happen until next year.

#also this was gonna happen eventually #you’d have to be naive to think the OG app would be online as long as NB #I’m sorry your anxious that wasn’t my intention with the warning #but I think people need/deserve to know #obey me #obey me Nightbringer #obey me shall we date #ask box

Bad has so many reasons to be cautious, even paranoid, as anyone else on the island. From Federation nonsense to Dapper being kidnapped to the whole purgatory nonsense to whatever fuckass suit of armor “old friend” was setting up cameras in his house. But it compounds on his regular overly aware paranoid self to this state of hyper-paranoia. And as a demon who can and usually will lie, cheat, steal, and use sneaky underhanded tactics, he expects the craziest extent because he thinks of it, realizes it’s possible, and would use it himself. We saw this very obviously in purgatory - when he thought greens desperate last ditch effort to balance the scale was a super planned out tactic to tip the scale, so he did it first, all the hardcore base hunting, the spawn killing, there’s a reason every other tactic he used usually followed a main channel qsmp post with updated rules - all usually things he was surprised no one else thought of. But then this also piles onto the fact that he has to have things go his way, all the time, and that he’s argumentative as all get out, which led to the debate between him and Bagi yknow. Especially because he’s not just doing it for the sake of being right, he doesn’t think he’s paranoid, but that he’s exercising the right amount of caution.

So like. Listen dude. Yeah he’s got reasons to be paranoid. But his thought process around building vaults for separate cookie caches like they locked up the risus pills, only to scrap it because it’s not perfectly impenetrable, is extreme. His character has hardly been a leading example in someone who has reasonable reactions to things. And even when there isn’t his own children’s livelihoods potentially on the line, he has a need for control, and the most control he has is if he keeps the cookies in his inventory at all times. If he makes himself the sole point in which the others can get ones in a case of emergency, then he can control the variables. The problem is he’s unreliable about himself when he’s at his most rational and healthiest, and he’s far worse with the current memory and health issues he’s been mostly unaware of.

I dunno it’s like. There is never going to be a purely impenetrable base. And it’s not just a case of “Bagi just hasn’t lived through __ yet!”. Bad’s own logic about keeping the cookies on him at all times is flawed under his own logic, because Bagi is right - if someone has enough drive to break into separate secured cookie caches purely for the downfall of eggs, they more than certainly have enough drive to find a way to kill Bad and just take them from his inventory, or to just kill the eggs themselves. All it truly does is give Bad a sense of control, and soothe his paranoia.

#everyone let’s remember rurus’ tweet about bad NOT being in the blunt rotation. he would try to pluck cameras out of your eyes. and he will #make it seem like it’s the most reasonable thing to do in that moment #now this is more me complaining about shit I’ve been seeing on Twitter in the tags <3 love and peace but I’ve got beef #side note - to say the people who are commenting on qBad’s paranoia or this and that are all newcomers who just ‘weren’t there to experienc #-the dark times’ or ‘weren’t there for the egg deaths/nightmares’ like you are not immune to the way bbh can make something seem so #reasonable #he’s got his own reasons to be paranoid. and most everyone agreed that the base idea of a ‘cookie jar’ would need rethinking with security #but to say qBagi (or Jorge’s/other viewers) is shortsighted or naive. when qBad is THE definition of paranoia. of overreacting. like #qBad’s reaction extends from a mixture of care hyper paranoia and trauma response (which is half that hyper paranoia) #and he will pick and pick and pick until there’s nothing left to pick at #sometimes this is helpful. a lot of the time it’s not #and on the flip side it’s like y’all bad cares about the eggs to a ridiculous degree don’t be silly here okay. he does this because he care #even without a memory in his brain he calls them ‘little one’ and is gentle like. he cares #but at the same time this doesn’t always justify his nonsense. his thought processes. he’s Uber hyper paranoid and not easy to reason with #he’s selfish he can and will jump to extremes he’s overly controlling. and he’s the worlds most unreliable narrator #I’ve been saying this I’ll keep saying this he’s an unreliable narrator! this doesn’t make everything he says or thinks bullshit but you #cannot take what he says to himself how he justifies his actions etc etc in private at face value. unless he is making it EXPLICITLY CLEAR #he’s talking from a meta perspective as the creator of his character #you have to take his perspective with a grain of salt. because he will ‘I’m just a little guy and the world is out to get me’ his way outta #everything #there is a difference between reasonable caution from learned past experiences and overly anxious paranoid responses #idk I’m running out of steam sorry this is like a second post with the tags #and again I say this as a huge qBbh enjoyer lmao #mcyt #qsmp #q!bbh #q!bagi #z speaks

people constantly forgetting that Shmi Skywalker exists will never stop making me legitimately angry.

she was so strong, and so brave, and managed to give Anakin as normal as a childhood as she could, but fans, Disney, etc. ignore her every Mother’s Day, and every time they talk about the Skywalker family.

SHE STARTED IT ALL and she’s thrown to the side like garbage.

#if she had lived and was freed with Ani she would have kept him safe from Palpatine #you really think this woman notice a child predator in her face if she saw one? #the Jedi were useless and the politicians were too naive #don’t get me started on the misinterpreted comic that has people thinking that Palpatine used to force to get her pregnant #heaven forbid she’s simply not telling the stranger interested in her son the truth of his conception #I know this is my trek account but I’m angry #shmi skywalker #Skywalker #Anakin Skywalker #Star Wars

What's your response to people saying Sasuke viewing Team 7 as his family is “unrealistic” because they only knew each other for a few months?

Ouuu I’m sorry this is such a late response, I was drafting it out and I totally forgot to finish it!

Figuring out the timeline of Naruto is HELL, but from what I gather, Sasuke was a part of Team 7 for about a year. For plot purposes, we don’t really see how Team 7 bonds, but we know they basically meet up / train / go on missions every day. During the Wave arc, Kakashi gives the whole “abandoning your teammates makes you worse than scum” speech to a group of impressionable 12 year olds. Not only that, he’s been drilling the idea of teamwork since the very first meeting. On top of all that, it’s established at the academy that it’s essential for teams to gel if they want to survive on the field (the team becomes your second family, wink wink.)

Considering all of that, no I don’t think it’s unrealistic to believe that Sasuke begins to cherish Team 7 (something that is CANONICALLY proven, and I’ll prove it after this.) His time with his team provides structure, routine, and an escape from his relentless thoughts abt revenge (and if there’s one thing I know, kids need routine and structure, even if regrettably, that comes from being a fucking child soldier.) Team 7 becomes Sasuke’s support system. I’m not pulling this out of my ass btw - after seeing Itachi again, Sasuke himself acknowledges that because he spent so much time being with his team, he forgot abt his revenge (for clarification cos I’m too lazy to find the manga page, this is when Kisame and Itachi come after Naruto while he’s training w Jiraiya.)

During the invasion arc / Naruto’s fight against Gaara, Sasuke calls Naruto and Sakura his “precious comrades.” (Even without the words, if you read the manga, it’s clear from Sasuke’s body language that he cares about/is very protective over his team.) When Kakashi is trying to convince Sasuke to forget about his revenge, Naruto and Sakura are the people he thinks about.

Somewhere between the formation of Team 7 and Sasuke’s defection, Naruto and Sakura have become important people to Sasuke, so much so that the thought of leaving them behind almost convinces him to stay (but of course, in the end, his hatred for Itachi and need for revenge wins over.)

I’ve seen the criticisms and I’ll admit that the execution of Team 7 as a family is not as strong as it could’ve been. But I do think that if you read the manga, you can see Kishimoto’s efforts. And canonically, Sasuke cares deeply about Naruto and Sakura, and anyone who tries to argue against that is wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

#i always see people say shit like omg nrt and skra don’t rly care abt ssk cos they never actually supported him #like let’s get something straight #nrt and skra supported ssk killing itachi even if they didn’t understand it #what they didn’t support was ssk going off w orochimaru’s psycho ass and being consumed by his hatred #i’m gonna touch on skra and ssk’s relationship specifically bc i feel like nrt & ssk’s is strong on its own #but as much as the fandom shits on skra’s crush on ssk there’s something v innocent/protective abt skra’s love for him #lemme explain: after ssk gets the curse mark skra threatens to tell kakashi abt it. ssk lashes out at her #skra continues to express her concern abt ssk and the way his hatred/desire for revenge is consuming him #when she confronts him before he leaves the village she tells him that getting revenge won’t lead to happiness #this is basically the same discussion kakashi had with sasuke earlier that day #all skra rly wants for ssk is for him to be happy #is that naive? yes probably. but i don’t think her crush on him was as superficial as people make it out to be #let me remind y’all that skra was one of the first people that saw firsthand what the curse mark did to ssk #all she wanted was for him not to fall deeper into that darkness #team 7 has always been compassionate to ssk. they just didn’t want to see him destroyed by his hatred. #which is essentially what almost happens to him in shippuden #I can keep going but for the sake of readability i won’t #team 7 #pro team 7 #dai nana han #ask #thanks for the ask!

One of my favorite (it’s so difficult) things to write is a balance of making certain backstory characters really awful, but not awful enough to feel they ‘deserve’ the fate that befalls them…

#yes I’m thinking about Oria and Venan as well #sometimes you are formed by your experiences and then you put that on others #yes do they take advantage of them? #yes #writing a more naive Zrise is wild #my hamster wheel #maybe violence isn’t the answer … Zrise #but also maybe letting people take advantage of you also isn’t the answer… Lariel

#the sun went down at 4 pm and I am once again having an existential crisis #I went to a bookstore and saw stupid romance book covers and started thinking about how I’m probably gonna ‘die alone’ #whatever the fuck that means #I don’t KNOW okay I don’t know if I’m aromantic or just too traumatized and avoidant to be capable of intimacy. but I have no friends and #I’m lonely as fuck #and I don’t want to date but I want someone to be committed to me and I want someone to fuck but I don’t trust people and I #am pretty sure if I fucked someone I would burst into tears bc of how long its been since I’ve been touched #I want a family. like that is one thing I know for sure I don’t know exactly what that even means or looks like #but I want a FAMILY. and not the one I was born with #I don’t mean kids I mwan commitment and fucking.

actually speechless watching the way eu leaders are carrying on about supporting israel completely off their own bat

#like declaring the eu will cease all aid and VISITING AND SHAKING HANDS WITH ISRAELS PRESIDENT #to make those king of pronouncements they need the consensus of the member states they haven’t even met to discuss it yet #like when LEO VARADKAR is one of the only european leaders speaking publicly about this you know it’s bad #support for palestine is fairly normal in ireland across the board so i think i was naive in assuming that leftish people would at least be #sane about this #sorry i don’t even want to post bc i hate making things about me but like i feel like i’m going insane #thankfully the aid thing didn’t happen bc it was literally just some guy pronouncing it on twitter but like the fact he thought he could #get away with it

i love my coworker but sometimes i am very suddenly reminded that she is a rich white private highschooler who still hasn’t left that bubble yet

#coffee talks #we’ll be having a great time and then she’ll just say the darndest thing #also she keeps kind of implying that i’m too kindhearted bc i’m not suspicious of certain customers???? #as if i’m naive?? love you queen but i’m just trying not to profile people #like she tells me to watch out when visibly poor or drugged people come in #or like. groups of teenagers laughing #but then says she trusts private school boys not to steal bc ‘they have enough money’ #which. is so ironic when she implies i’m naive about people #it’s just. sigh #usually she’s fine but it’s just Some Things that pop out and give me pause #but she’s still just in highschool so it’s hard to really get someone out of that bubble #and there was just. a certain comment she made about a group of indigenous boys that came in today #she said it wasn’t bc of that but i don’t think she really understands that the context of who she’s saying it about changes the impact

One take I’ve seen which sort of annoys me is this idea that if Jonathan really wanted to leave the show after Sebastian died, he could’ve just told Cam so & then he would’ve been free to live his life as he saw fit. Beyond the fact that we know he did tell Cameron he wanted to stop performing, or at least that he voiced some kind of protest about performing certain shows (from the final episode, Transposition), there’s the point that it’s really fucking difficult to say no to the people you care about.

(^ from Transposition, ~38:54)

From this scene alone we know that Cam had to talk Johnny into continuing to perform after their father passed; it’s obvious that Johnny values his freedom, though, so why did he ever agree to it? Primarily, because his brother asked him to, and he loves Cameron more than he wants to be free (this is true, at least, at the beginning of the show). It’s not as simple as just saying “No”. If that’s the line of logic we’re following, then Jonathan can’t carry any blame for asking Dina to retrieve the files that the FBI were hiding — she simply could’ve refused, right? Cameron, at the very least (and I do mean very least, because their father treated him like shit), got to go out and connect with people as himself. Johnny only ever had Cameron, so to deny his brother anything must’ve seemed impossible. I don’t want to start speculating about how that conversation must’ve gone because it’s counterintuitive to the point I’m trying to make, but I just think this idea (that all Jonathan had to do is tell Cameron he didn’t want to perform) is reductive, and also does a massive disservice to the really complex character dynamics at play in the show

#to be clear: Jonathan was wrong for putting Dina in that position. and Cameron was wrong for putting Johnny in THAT position #I’ve only recently joined the fandom but I feel like some of you guys are scared of Cameron being at fault for certain things #it’s ok if a character has flaws! and I mean flaws that hurt other people and not just themselves #characters are so much more interesting to me when they do shitty stuff sometimes #that’s why I loved cam when I was watching the show. he’s inherently a good person but I think he’s a bit naive when it comes to Johnny’s #relationship with their father & Johnny’s version of their childhood and that is !!!! so!!!!!!!! fascinating!!!!!! #I love cam all the more for it!!! but then I got into the fandom and everyone’s so intent on villifying the SHIT out of Johnny 😭 #not to say that they’re absolutely and completely wrong but like. context matters. please analyze his side of things as deeply as Cameron’s #jonathan black #cameron black #sorry for the ramble. I’m not trying to call anyone in specific out it’s just kind of a general observation #but if anyone wants to discuss please feel free to engage:) I love this show soso much and I’d love to talk more #deception #abc deception #my stuff #really living up to my header here lmao

once again so incredibly pissed off that i can’t make any tangible change

#can’t wait to get this fucking degree #living with this amount of rage is incredibly bad for my mental and physical health but i can’t be passive about all of this shit i can’t #just not do anything for the rest of my life and accept that yeah some people are just going to live in misery because that’s the system we #live in and it’s so naive to think that i could make any difference but i’m better off just killing myself than accepting that this state o #things is simply unchangeable because it’s not it’s just so so so corrupt #like why is it so fascinating to people that i just don’t want anyone to starve or fucking freeze to death or die of overdose because #someone can profit off of it why is it considered default that we shouldn’t care

Re-reading Bleach’s Arrancar arc, and… god I want to give Orihime a shoulder to lean on and cry on. Just… gosh the poor girl… she can’t catch a break :’(

The moment she has self doubts about her own abilities (a very understandable and normal teenaged thing!) she has an even more stronger insistence to be stronger, and just when she’s about to get a tremendous improvement in her abilites, the bad guys show up (specifically Ul//quiorra) and basically coerces her to join the arrancar because the value her abilities. That refusal would lead to the deaths of her friends, and as a pacifist who doesn’t like violence and wants to keep her friends safe, it’s understandable that such an offer is VERY HARD for her to decline.

May I remind people that Orihime at this point in Bleach is a teenaged girl attending high school. Who just a few months ago almost saw her best friend die (they’re okay but they’re not the same person anymore), had a near death experience herself, and also saw the person she has a crush on be violently defeated in a battle he wasn’t prepared for.

Arrancar arc is really just… Orihime and the horrible, terrible, no good, very bad day :(

#I was really emotional when typing this up.. #the momen she considers getting stronger urahara comes around and well intentionally #says that she should sit this fight out because her combat abilities are a liability #LIKE ITS WELL INTENTIONED… but the dude explains it so horribly it just adds to orihime’s self doubt #and she vents this to rukia who LOSES HER SHIT. rukia is like ‘HEY WITHOUT YOU I’D BE DEAD’! and she’s right!! and she trains with orihime #after orihime’s fairy friend gets fixed!! and it’s like!!! FINALLY!! she’ll get the time to shine on the battlefield! #but the arrancar saw that and went ‘hey… what if we stole this human and kept them as our medic? it’s a piece of leverage over #that ichigo guy :) we win either way and they can’t stop us. it’s a foolproof plan!!’ #and they coerce her to join them by threatening the lives of her friends and it’s like!!! #then taking advantage of an emotionality vulnerable orihime is like.. genius storytelling #it’s a consequence of the characters not allowing orihime stand on her own in a fight. they try to protect her so much that they end up #losing her in the end anyways as she joins the bad guys. obviously this is a coerced betrayal. the enemy threatened #the lives of her friends in exchange for her to go with them. so of course!! she’s going to follow their instructions to save her friends!! #I don’t think orihime is THAT naive I think she’s more kind than naive. she wants to see the best in people even if they are her enemy #she did that a lot in the soul society infiltration arc #i think her real weakness is that she’s kind to a fault but the fact she chooses TO BE KIND even in the face of evil gives her #so much character and personality to her. she’s a good person who wants to do good and to be better; to help OTHERS BE BETTER!! #hi I’m normal about a fictional character sorry… #bleach spoilers

thinking about how as an adult i value the same things that were beaten and trained out of me as a kid (like a dog like a fucking dog)

thinking about who i would be if i could have kept what came naturally to me

thinking about how unfair it is to have to relearn it now or grieve its absence

to know there’s some of me that’s lost forever and what isn’t missing is still so wounded

#child abuse cw #people think i’m naive they think i’m sarcastic they think i’m full of shit #the idea that i could genuinely care about so many people and things is unfathomable and abnormal apparently #‘i don’t want life to be hard for you’ #‘i don’t want you to think you had a bad childhood’ #be yourself - no not like that #anyway catch me shooting fire from my eyes when my mom brings this shit up like it was nothing #sometimes i feel like she talks about what my dad went through as a way to identify what she did to me as Not Abuse #into the ether

Having so many thoughts about papyrus and how the fandom at large doesn’t get him. If you even care

#the audhd coded ever #he is not your precious cinammon roll too good for this world #that’s a whole adult man #who is infantilized by his own friends #he doesn’t need the fandom to act like he can’t take care of himself too #Toriel can’t even hold back enough to not kill you like he can by the way #and she’s got a boss monster lifespan and experience #that illustrates a huge amount of magical control imo? like I’m sure part of it is lack of harmful intent but. Tori would lack that #also just #stop infantilizing neurodivergent people who are naive to the bad in the world #they know more than anyone thinks #as an audhd person who sees the good in people and wants to help even when it’s probably a scam or whatever… #bleh #maybe papyrus is just a lot like me and my friends and I’m tired of how flanderized he is in the fandom #undertale #yes i am maintagging this #papyrus ut

There are many things throughout the story that don’t affect Hosea. Flat out dying being one of them. If anything, it boosts his ego cos who else but ME can come back from the dead AND kill a god?

Under the guise of ‘I did what had to be done/you’re really expecting people to not die in this line of work?’ There is one things that does affect him.

He killed a firstborn. Not just one of the firstborn, the first of them all. Big brother Trahearne.

He did what had to be done. He likes being the elder dragon slayer, godkiller, the man who’s name everyone knows. But taking the life from the first of his kind does not sit well with him.

He can hide behind how it was the campaign against Mordremoth, everyone had to make sacrifices, make tough decisions, he was just the one that carried it out. Unfortunate that’s how it happened, yes, but he just did what had to be done. You have to, being the Commander. But he can’t undo that he killed one of the few people he looked up to. He’s Hosea Slei, after all. He can’t show that kind of emotional vulnerability. Not anymore.

#hosea slei #wrote this on my phone whilst doing stuff #Hosea ‘I’m the commander. of course I have to do unsavoury things. you’re naive to think otherwise’ slei #in a way he can see it as quite freeing #less people you love? less that’ll affect you later on! #nothing to lose personally if you don’t have it! #then you can just focus on being sexy and being the best elementalist in tyria #cant talk feelings. too busy saving the world in the most epic and sexiest way possible
