Why are people sleeping on the darker sides of Gales character and reducing it down to "he was groomed so it's not his fault/he only does it to hide his insecurity BC he hates himself so it's fine"

Y...you know his hubris is mega sized right? His ego is crazy inflated right? He's a power hungry man who genuinely thinks he's better suited to welding ultimate power than anyone else and he actions this perspective in game if you support him in it/unless you interrupt him right?

Like he has the Wizard Ego we see in Rolan, in Lorroakan. He has it too. It's kind of a wizard... Thing in the game at least, where they act like they're hot shit and spend their time trying to put other wizards down because they treat it like Highlander lol (THERE can BE only ONE ultimate hot shit wizard and of course it's me!)

He thinks he has the best opinions, he thinks he's the smartest, he thinks he's the best suited for power and that he's entitled to it because he's the best. He is extremely ambitious and he thinks being ambitious is one of his best qualities.

Have you seen his reaction if you try to let your Tav deal with that magic in that scene? Where he goes off about being the most qualified and that you CANT do it, and if you do he calls it sheer dumb luck?

Like you can totally say he acts this way due to severe insecurity but *he 1000%* DOES act this way in game and again, it's good writing! Is he a loving gentleman? Was he groomed and abused? All yes.

Does he have the hubris of a man who thinks he's better than everyone else and deserves godhood for himself and does he have an ego the size of Faerun that is also so delicate he threatens to explode if you tell him he's unimpressive ? Yes

Cause he's multi faceted and well written and he has good aspects and rough aspects and questionable characteristics and negative characteristics almost like a person who is capable of being many things at once, like real people are.

C'mon, fandom, let's try to take characters for all that they are and not pedestal them. It really take the flavour out of the experience because there's so much potential in characters that are more than just the 'best' parts of themselves

He also grows and changes throughout the game based on your characters influence and that's important to note as well because that's super cool and it means he has character development

It's always "Shou and Ritsu need to blow stuff up with their minds for mental health reasons" or Ritsu and Teru or even Shou and Teru!

But what about Mob? When does he get to blow stuff up with his mind for funsies? For shits and giggles? He didn't go through all of those meltdowns and character development for nothing, let him go ham on a junkyard car or something smh

I believe in Mob's narrative given right to fuck shit up sometimes

#im hungry i should do homework i should also finish all of my other drafted posts BUT I AM LAZY #ive been starting to write fic tho at least thats productive. fic thats kind of relevant to this actually hm #listen i just want more Mob content where he does smth reckless or stupid with his powers he deserves it #or just in general tbh i need more content of mob being kinda mean or having arguments with ppl like to a healthy degree ok #but i still want him to. yanno. lash out and stuff. experience emotion. have him get angry over petty stuff #the first mp100 fic ive ever started writing/drafting had mob and ritsu having a proper fight post canon #i just need it for my OWN mental health. let them have dumb sibling fights and have mob express his annoyances #itd be funny and cathartic. for me at least. ill finish that shit one day its been assembled and disassembled but ill figure it out #eventually #let mob feel and express all of the ugly emotions he didnt allow himself to acknowledge for years pls #its my favourite thing #anyway. #mp100 #mob psycho 100 #shigeo kageyama #cine te a intrebat

Still obsessed over the implications of Cronus with no memories being a fundamentally good and helpful person.

#Class of the titans #class of the titans cronus #Does he outright have to decide to not follow his instincts of wanting to do good? #Does he wake up every day and choose to be evil? #Because whatever could have actually made him that way otherwise #The whole story hinges on him being a power hungry tyrant #From him killing his father to wanting to destroy his children #So why is he actually somehow somewhat a good person underneath that #It certainly makes for a fun episode premise but it doesn't really feel thought through #Don't get me wrong I love everything about this though #Jesus christ he just saved Theresa #He has a protective streak holy shit #gnawing on him #He's my little freak 🥴🥴

every time I see people cheering for PJO to become the Most Influential Franchise once the show drops I wanna punch something because it just means Disney's monopoly would get even bigger and more dangerous

#hp will die on its own dont worry we don't need to call in a hungry evil giant to stamp it out #i hate disney so much with every passing day. i hate it from the bottom of my heart. #can we already figure out that no franchise should have that kind of power. we're celebrating the worst of consumerism. pls #pjo liveblog #''i hate disney but i wanna help them remove hp'' hate to break it to you but that is exactly what they want you to think it's manipulation #they are evil liars who lie and don't care about humanity at all this is some president snow president coin shit

I'm pissed...

No sugar coating it.

Just finished my first play through, where I went with romancing Gale. I must have not done enough to dissuade him early on, because he was dead set on using the crown for himself. I know if my Tav had just gone with him, it would have been fine, but that's not her. So she tries to convince him to just let it go and stay with her.

This mf-er just leaves. Says if she changes her mind, he'll be happy to make her his Chosen. For the entire second half of the game, he goes on and on about how we will be alright as long as the two of us are together. Apparently, that was only when Tav went along with what he wanted.

Ugh.....

I think I know where I went wrong, but I'm still seriously annoyed. I'm going to have to either try to find a save right before that or do the whole campaign again. If I could have reached through the screen and smacked him, I would have.

#i did not reject Astarion and halsin for this shit! #probably more upset by this than i should be #stupid male egos #stupid power hungry man #imma kill him #then imma revive him and fix the romance #ugh #bg3 gale #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #bg3 #spoilers #baldurs gate 3

i don't believe in the fandom concept of problematic faves (all characters should have at least one Problem, i think, for flavor) but if i did, fiona pitch would have a permanent throne at the very top of my list. i just think she's neato-cheetos.

#on a scale from one to belittling a teenager who was just subjected to weeks of solitary confinement starvation torture #i think that fiona is a 10.5 and should consider prozac #rainbow has a way with multifaceted characters who do things because it's the only thing they know how to do #good things for bad reasons and bad things for good reasons and selfless things for spiteful reasons and vise versa etc #everyone is at least a bit of an asshole about something. even goodboy milk chap boyscout simon killed a bunch of vampires on sight #they were probably up to something shady but the likelihood that they were gonna kill those girls in broad daylight at a crowded renfaire? #probably pretty low. too late to un-kill 'em though. like. those were People. vampires are People. goblins too. #imagine you're a goblin looking to make some serious changes in your society and the only thing you have to do to achieve those goals? #is kill a fifth grader that already hates you and your entire species on principle and would definitely kill you first given the chance #some of those goblins were probably pretty power hungry assholes but i imagine if they have a monarchy they also have tax laws and shit #i couldn't kill a fascist cub-scout for free healthcare but i'm also very anti-murder in general and goblins seem quite pro #i am definitely thinking way too far into this but that's also my One SkillTM #the incredibly similar way that simon and fiona view 'dark' magickal creatures (and what it means about the entire WoM) is an essay itself #its also a LONG essay and i'm too much of a weenie to post in-depth fandom opinions more controversial than 'big teeth Hot' #so the gist of it is 'I JUST THINK THEY'RE ALL NEAT I LIKED THE BOOK A LOT' #del/lat

What do you think Mine’s reaction to Masato / Aoki be like?

tbh they'd probably be. amicable. at the very least.

#snap chats #like they have similar values its just that mine's more openly depressed about his belief system and doesn't take pride in it like aoki #i talked about this before omg thats so funny... but yeah no aoki's more proud of 'how the world is'. prob cause he's 'on top' of it #mine begrudges the fact he needs material goods to be useful to people #meanwhile aoki's happy to exploit others if it means he advances. for the most part anyway #he only really starts to show some regret when confronted by ichi. and get the shit kicked out of him for twenty minutes #wait i was rewatching the cutscene and started to throw up cause i got reminded of me in high school again aoki you're 42 stop this #Back On Track Though. mine and aoki had similar pursuits: attain power to be loved thats the core of it in simple terms #they went about it differently ofc: for mine money was power and for aoki popularity was power. Both Very True TBH but anyway #mine realized that even with money his person wasnt valued #and aoki realized that even with recognition people didn't value his character. sins the arakawas. fcukin dummy #i mean aokis a jackass so no wonder but thats not the point of this. fuckfest of tags #they wouldnt be friends. aoki's incapable of friendship and mine would probably quickly recognize aoki as being power hungry #i think mine's been in enough business meetings And Knows Enough About Politics to recognize Professional Fakerism when he sees it #actually do you think mine'd be swindled by any 'kindness' aoki expressed like when kanda left him and he thought he just went to get help. #that shit was wack LMAO BUT REGARDLESS idk i have to go to class soon so im not gonna spend too much time thinking of this #if they needed to they'd just use each other for whatever purpose they needed the other for. idk why mine would need aoki tho #TLDR mine probably wouldnt think too differently of aoki compared to any other power-hungry freak #we can revisit this topic when. im not learning about JP history vjERJALKJ

Karim/Miyana/Pharos are an evil bisexual polycule and they're valid. Karim is king of the Little Shits and I cannot wait to see what kind of bullshit he gets up to next season.

what do u think seans experience in reform school was like?? apparently the punishments were….well.

OH ANON!!!!! YES let's talk about this!!!!

So, a majority of the reform school horror stories that at least I've been hearing over the past few years have been largely been about schools that operated in the 20th century and into the 2010s at the latest, like the Dozier school or Elan. Then obviously there's the rest of the troubled teen industry but that's a more modern thing. Anyway, there's not a whole lot to go on for the late 1800's BUT I did manage to find a website which has a model for reformatory rules and regulations in 1890's Britain, which if nothing else, gives us something to go off in terms of what conditions could be like.

To start with, I think the fact that Sean was sent to reform school instead of other options interesting. Reform school was for delinquents; criminal children. Most likely, this means Sean was involved in criminal activity alongside his father - though, alternatively, it could mean whoever had to deal with Sean in the aftermath of Darragh's death, took one look at him and decided reform school was where he had to go.

Of course, Sean would never make life EASY for the officers and teachers of the school he was sent to. Not only is he there against his will, but those people and that place would, in his mind, all belong to the same entity which orchestrated his father's murder. That boy CAME to school with the intent to escape.

I think, with my HC of him having ADHD and dyslexia in mind, paired with his undoubted lack of respect for whatever authority figures that'd be at the reformatory, Sean would be singled out as a troublemaker from the get. It'd be one of those 'living up to expectations' thing from there, Sean making enemies out of the adults who were supposed to care for him and definitely coming up with ways to make their lives harder.

Sidenote; I definitely believe the little laugh Sean has after remembering his time in reform school was him reminiscing about all the pranks and shit he pulled to harass the workers there lmfao.

Of course, that also means he saw a LOT of the punishments they doled out. On the website they linked above, corporal punishment was VERY much on the agenda and I think Sean def saw the worst of it. I think an important aspect here is the understanding that once these things are seen as acceptable punishments, there's nothing stopping the person doling them out to up the severity of them despite regulations. A flogging shouldn't exceed 18 strokes nor a caning 8; but this offender has had several in the past few weeks and still keeps making trouble, lets add a couple extra just to get the message across.

I think the same goes for the punishments regarding isolation and meal deprivation; you can't tell me a young Sean already doesn't know the feeling of skipping meals out of necessity by the time he arrives at reform school - losing ONE meal as the regulations say with the assuredness of the next would do nothing to dampen Sean's spirits, nor a day in isolation.

Idk, Sean was truly desperate for money/food after 3 days, like that was when he tried to kill someone for it. Personally speaking, I go more than 12 hours without eating and I'd probably try to kill someone too. The 3 days speaks to a familiarity with hunger.

And idk, I definitely think Sean is used to being alone!!! It's why he likes being around people so much!! He grew up with only his father to rely on in the whole wide world, who probably HAD to leave Sean alone for prolonged amounts of time to do what he did as a Fenian & criminal. His scene in RDO also speaks to this; he gets lost and is on his own often!! It's not that he prefers it, but he is definitely used to it, and a day in isolation would probably make 0 difference to him fr!!

So, better up the ante to truly get those punishment across.

These are based on the British regulations for the time, mind! I couldn't find anything similar for the US, and I doubt there'd been a federal standard at the time, so I honestly imagine the punishments were more severe from the get, for Sean. Of course reform schools were supposed to be focused on reform over punishment, but when you're dealing with someone as possibly incessant and unyielding in their misbehavior as I imagine Sean was, punishment WOULD seem like the only option, with the knowledge they had at the time. I think he probably got the worse end of a LOT of it, because he wouldn't capitulate to the will of the reformatory very easily.

I don't think Sean stuck around for very long; around a year at most, I'd think. I also don't think he aged out of it, as the age of majority was 21 and it was more common for reform schools to set them up for some sort of legal work after 'graduating'. So yeah, he ran away, and promptly buried a lot of the bad shit he went through, as he is prone to do.

Thank you for this ask, anon!! I had a lot of fun thinking and reading about this, yall are REALLY indulging me here lolol

#I think reform schools were very individual based on the people who worked and attended there #especially when they were still in their infancy. they only really became a thing in the 1870s and onwards #but considering what the standard of treatment of children was at the time. that still means in general there was probably a lot of #bad shit going on even at the very start. before the power hungry abusers came in and started up schools like evan and dozier #dozier opened in 1900 did you know! evan in 1970 lol #they both closed in 2011 though. bcz of you know. all the deaths and abuse #anyway!! thank u anon for letting me theorize a lil on what reform school mightve been like for sean!! #obviously the answer was always gonna be BAD but yknow. sean is a trooper and a survivor in a lot of senses so #here we are!!! #sean macguire #red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 #rdr2 meta #teki talks #rdr thoughts #asks #meta asks #rdr asks

concept for young ghetsis, pre- and post-incident that left him with the injured eye and arm as seen in canon ghetsis. more explanation of my thoughts on him below

pre-incident ghetsis i imagine was similar to how silver acted. a bit of a bully, pushing people around, looking to become the best without regards to treating his pokemon well. he differs in that he's a horribly sore loser and makes it known when he does, despite his strategy of an all-out attack being incredibly predictable every time. born with a weaker leg and used his cane his whole life, is insecure over being seen as "weak" because of it. his home life was also probably... not great either. despite it all he still manages to make some friends, and heads off on a journey with them to conquer the pokemon league...

then, the incident happens. all he says is that he tried to catch an incredibly strong pokemon... but it didn't work and nearly killed him in retaliation. despite all odds, he survived... but clearly something changed after that. his arm and eye never healed quite right, leaving his arm very weak and his right eye totally blind. he became very quiet for a while after that, very reserved and distant from others. he developed trust issues, believing that those around him only pitied him and saw him as weak and usable. he'd lash out at anyone showing him sympathy or offering help, believing that in order to not be seen as weak, he had to be able to help himself and couldn't rely on others, even shoving his friends away. his desire to win and be the best turned into an insatiable lust for power, an overcompensation of his own insecurities... soon becoming the keystone of his motivations. he cannot be weak or pitied, he must be powerful. the MOST powerful. feared and revered, incapable of being hurt like that ever again...

and then, one day, he simply vanished. went off on his own and wasn't seen again by anyone from his hometown for a very long time. he became manipulative and cruel, honing his public speaking skills, soon finding n in the woods... and then we know what happens from there

#pokemon #pokemon b2w2 #pokemon bw #ghetsis #my art #team plasma #team plasma ghetsis #pokemon au #Yes i know pokemon journeys usually happen at like 12ish #but i don't want to write about a 12 year old nearly dying and it's more fun writing a young ghetsis that's a bit closer to my age #so he is 18/19 in this picture #i like brainstorming what his past could be like because we really know nothing at all. it's free real estate for angst concepts #i must know how he got to where he is in the game. how did he become a power hungry maniac who shits himself over losing to two teenagers #I Must Know.

I saw one [1] complaint about the brotherhood not having sex education and I just. Yall how much more needs to be done before you realize the BoS is a cult just as much as vault 4 or the Children of Atom. They manipulate the info they give their recruits to further control them. PLUS I'm getting 'southern health class' vibes- abstinence over all, yadda yadda.

I will say the show has fucked a lot of things up [retconning ghoul lore for one which erases SOOOO many cool opportunities] but the treatment of the Brotherhood is soooo correct sorry not sorry. They felt TOO approachable in games, for a military cult that's sole purpose is to hoard information and technology, and "exterminate" those who don't fit into one of their neat little categories. Like yessssss make them as shitty as they actually are
