#as morally nihilistic

[ilynpilled]

can u reblog ur post that points out how asoiaf isn't nihilistic in reference to the tradcath tolkien fans it's rlly well worded and i find myself quoting it in arguments but finding it is such a pain bcs tumblr's search sucks... tysm luv your metas

idk which one you mean but here is one:

link

and later i found that he actually explicitly labeled such a critique as moronic himself so when in doubt just pull this up atp lol

#ask #and i see ppl being like ‘i see how u can interpret it like that’ but i dont at all #in any way #dark and depressing sure #but lack of moral signposts or nihilistic nah #decrying george’s fascination with the human condition and contextualizing evil actions #as morally nihilistic #is dumb to me #and investigating nuances etc especially isnt just edgy moral relativism either #nor do i think the belief that humans r not inherently evil or good but just ppl with the capacity to make choices #shaped by their experiences and the choices they decided to make #indicates any of the sort

Trying to imagine darkfriend!Egwene and my brain just spits out an error message

#wheel of time #wot book spoilers #egwene al'vere #literally never met a character less nihilist #also she gets up to quite a bit of moral ambiguity while remaining firmly Light-aligned so you can’t even get her on a technicality #idk if you could even seduce her with knowledge #she’s a chameleon for other cultures but she keeps her internal core throughout

mistynat was the best fucking dynamic in the WORLD!!!!!!! AND THEY FOUCKING TORCHED IT!!!!!  

#im mad about Yellowjackets now because its cathartic to get mad about poor writing and I cant do that with succ #UMMMMM hyperobsessive weirdo killer who holds an endearing fixation on the nihilistic yet tender junkie? #and they detested each other in the woods but also one pledged devotion to the other? and misty has been obsessed ever since? #and has forgiven nat for absolutely everything even when nat won't forgive herself? because she exists on an entirely different moral plane? #but will protect her now because nat protected her then? #like misty's obsession with nat isn't even because she was the antler queen #she was obsessed from the get-go via her idolization of the Yellowjackets #but then it clearly turned into something else #because misty is an apostle above all else #yet she was shown in s1 to be so devoted to nat as a PERSON beyond anything else #and nat's begrudging alliance with her...now on equal grounds in the Real World...being able to perhaps stomach misty's insanity because its #so much more visible than that of the others #because it validates what nat believes about the survivors #they are FUCKED UP #but there is a certain comfort in the fact that misty was always fucked up #GODDDD they could have been so good #yellowjackets #mistynat

give me a Jing Yuan fueled by spite. give me a Jing Yuan whose words absolutely drip with venomous sarcasm. give me a Jing Yuan who speaks with fangs bared. give me a Jing Yuan who looks down at you like he just might be considering how to best rip into your throat and tear it out. give me a Jing Yuan so fucking angry the static in the air causes metal to spark.

Jing Yuan is so good and so generous and so kind, give me a Jing Yuan that shows more of his negative aspects bc ohhhhh my god he is so done with everything I think he deserves to snap a little I want a scary Jing Yuan I want a bitter Jing Yuan do u get me

#//immortal; (OOC) #//wishing star; (WISHLIST) #((ive been talking with Starry and Luna and the more i develop him the more jy becomes nihilistic behind closed doors)) #((everything he does is out of spite of SOMETHING in the world. even his love is out of spite towards the universe)) #((is he incredibly gentle and loving and selfless? yes. is he also sarcastic and can clearly foresee the eventual end of the xianzhou?)) #((also yes)) #((his selflessness also leads him to be morally grey and i find that SOOOOOOOOO interesting OUGH)) #((in the face of fate what does morality matter? ough)) #((and ive also been chatting with other ppl (hi A) which makes me realize my jy's being pulled 3 ways by 3 different aeons...)) #((hough ough oughffhdgfhdh can he catch a fucking break the answer is never)) #((hes so tired and his tiredness fuels his spite and his spite fuels his love and his love fuels every uncomfortable decision he makes)) #((righteousness? he laughs at that. hes a hero yes and he tends to stand with good)) #((but in terms of like a dnd alignment scale he is NOT lawful good not in the SLIGHTEST)) #((neutral good at best)) #((righteousness is for the foolish and the arrogant)) #((what matters is making the decisions you wont regret. let history call you what it wants; history is a tinted lens)) #((I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS AND THEYRE SO DISJOINTED IM SORRY FOR BABBLING IN THE TAGS))

what does pro-c paras stand for? never seen that one before

pro-contact paraphiles. basically it means people who have harmful (usually big three) paraphilias and think it’s okay/good to have sexual contact with kids/animals/corpses/[insert other thing here]. they’re usually radqueers.

#tw pedophila mention #tw necrophillia #tw zoophile mention #anti radqueer #rq dni #i am a moral nihilist and also against fucking kids those two concepts are not mutually exlusive

Osamu Dazai and the Depressing Era

#I have so many thoughts through my mind these days I was barely able to focus on the episode. I kept zoning out #I made barely any post #Okay some thoughts. The thing that really hit me since the first time watching b/sd... Is the– #“I don't kill people because I want to write about lives” “I start doing good because my friend asked me to” #Like I get grey morals and everything but also. Sorry for being so simplistic but I think everyone should do good / not kill people– #because killing people is bad lol. No because of other personal reasons #I really *really* feel b/sd ultimately has a very nihilistic approach to life. #And that when Oda said “You won't find a reason to live whether side you're on. Both sides are the same.” it's not Oda-character talking– #but it's really the author expressing their own worldview through the one character that's the most distinguished #They really think there's no difference between good and bad in their little nihilistic world. #Which is something I personally don't agree with. #“It is a given that everything that is worth wanting will be lost the moment I obtain it” #......... No it's not you just need to go to the shore and listen to the waves crush and the seagulls squeal dude. It's going to be okay. #That's why it's so easy to portray Dazai as perfect and flawless for the author btw. #Because nothing he ever did in the pm was wrong if “good” and “bad” don't mean anything to begin with. #And this is coming from a deeply relativist person. But I believe even grey morals have a limit. #Thus my general disagreement with most b/sd themes #I don't know why I went off this tangent btw I didn't intend to. #I suppose it bears repeating once in a while where I stand compared to the b/sd themes and my personal interpretation of them #(Even though I acknowledge most people don't agree with such interpretation... ) #There were other things regarding the episode I needed to say but I forgot... #One of them was that season 2 Dark Era proves that even amv openings can actually be good if you put enough budget in them #Which makes me even more pissed at the season 3 / season 5 ops #random rambles

Is Death Note considered post-modern media

#genuinely asking bc i just watched a YouTube thingy about modern and post modern and then wtv comes next #metamodern or sthg? #but anyhoo it was basically saying modern stories were like kinda classic straight forward traditional values good guy wins bad guy loses #then post modern was kinda like #but WAIT what if there are no heroes or villains cynical sort of questioning or reversing the usual values and tropes and morals #and then the essay went on to say the next thingy is like. post modern but also trying to add a second more hopeful twist #after all the nihilistic deconstruction #??? #DN def seems like the second category but idk #i went to art school and feel like i still don't know shit about this kinda stuff btw like it always went in one ear and out the other #the youtube video i watched was called Why Do Movies Feel So Different Now? #by thomas flight btw #p

Me: "Oh yeah now I'm a pessimist for reals TBH. Everything sucks and it will only get worse. Humanity is evil and the earth would be better off without them."

Also me: "Humanity is full of evil, yes, but also full of good. Look look at people caring for and loving their animals and look at art and music and literature and scientific achievements."

Ffuck man just look at space and realize that the seemingly infinite beauty and wonder is so much more than we could handle. In the grand scheme of things sure humanity doesn't matter but the fact that we exist means we matter. The universe goes on without us but I have a cat and a dog who love me and I like to draw so.

#mango man speaks #nearly in tears thinking about the unbreakable human spirit rn. #humanity is full of evil. obviously. but i love humanity despite that. #misanthropy get outta here. humanity is not inherently flawed or evil or sinful. #humanity is morally neutral. the good and the bad do not cancel one out. #i love humanity idk about yall but i think generally humans are good. #rip to the tomorrow's world program but humans should value themselves wayyyy more than religion. #yes this is an atheism post im sick of nihilist atheism and anti humanity religious doctrine.

Why did we let people call asoiaf grimdark

#writing my little review of the dunk and egg novellas and it just baffles me that people consider martin grimdark? #are we just calling anything with morally gray characters grimdark? grow up #i feel like martins writting is underlined by a strong belief in humanity #people think he hates idealism but its more nuanced than tha #its not and has never been about how ideals are worthless or about the world being a terrible place #thinking of that quote from rote about how ideals dont work against those who reject them #its not that people cant live up to their ideals but rather that you cant expect everyone to have the same values #and martins work is about that as well #idk people paint asoiaf as being super nihilistic but thats such a surface level reading

#random rambles #The last ask sent me on five different tangents I wasted the whole afternoon over #I opted against adding this to the ask because it'd be unrespectful to Anon but if I don't let it out somewhere I'll die #Everyone knows how beyond what it may look like that I don't like bsd and that includes Beast #But the ask touches the exact reason why I think Beast ultimately fails as a story #because it constantly tries to frame Akutagawa as evil and heartless; but what's framed as his most cruel action #- the one of mindlessly slaughtering his enemies at the start - is itself moved by love #And I know someone in the wings is already arguing #“that's the whole point. the reader is supposed to see through it‚ and see that Akutagawa wasn't inherently evil to begin with” #… But I don't think that's the case. This is not the place to talk about it but at the same time I don't want to make a post about it #but at the same time I feel like I won't have peace untill I've brought this up. #That's not the case because 1) Dazai says it's not the case‚ and Dazai is the character with most authority in the entire franchise #and 2) Ryuunosuke's later scene with Gin reinforces the fact that Akutagawa's action was cruel and inhuman #But it's not true. It's just that the author is a little nihilist that doesn't believe humans are inherently good. #So please let's just stop pretending they aren't? Because bsd fans. in my very humble opinion - are in severe need of someone #to remember them they are free to like aspects of the franchise even without acting like its morals aren't completely fucked up #Sorry for derailing it's been tormenting me since forever I desperately needed to mention it somewhere. #I've recently read someone say that bsd sustained that humans are inherently good and like... What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. #Like there ARE series that do that? T/pn is one of them? Read t/pn if you want that? It's good? #But bsd definitely doesn't c'mon it's not that hard #Ugh. sorry for this. It was just to say #I love Beast but I don't like bsd and Beast is part of bsd and Beast does ultimately adhere to bsd's fucked up morals Kyotag out #I'm just saying we should all be able to recognize where our personal worldviwes end and where the author's start. #If you don't you aren't reading you're projecting #I'm not even rereading this #if I'll overthink it a second more I know it'll end up together with my millions black posts at the bottom of my drafts #Post

mixed feelings about dd2 but i do love that jester strikes a fruity little pose when he gets buffed

#i enjoy it as a darkest dungeon game (characters‚ enemy design‚ combat for the most part) but i don't. think it meshes as a roguelite #its just too slow and punishing for a genre that demands back-to-back replays and consistent growth #80% of upgrades are laughably minor and/or actively detrimental. so it's hard to feel like grinding out runs is worth it #the choice to lock character moves behind progression is especially baffling because it means everyone's kits feel half-finished and clunky #“but isn't darkest dungeon a series about being ground to dust in the maws of an uncaring universe” i mean sure. #but these issues don't make me feel nihilistic they just make me annoyed with the game design #also im still mad that they woobified all the characters. let them be actually morally dubious again. please. #except antiquarian i think antiquarian is perfect. keep stabbing me in the back queen i love you #beepbeep.txt #this time on: putting all my thoughts in the tags because making it the actual post feels too confrontational

I don't want to jump the gun because the official lyrics haven't been released, but just from what lyrics I CAN pick out, Bedman?'s theme is going to emotionally devastate the fuck out of me

#guilty gear #initial analysis in tags here but #“do you see the radiant light? Do you hear the beautiful chant? Do you feel the tender warmth? Nothing here” #he talks about how he can't escape the circle which is presumably the destiny he has written for him #he knows he deserves his punishment and cannot escape the person he became and accepts his death as his own #but will still do anything to ensure his sister doesn't fall into the same fate #baiken and bedman are the same #they both want Delilah to be different #ALSO THE PARALLELS TO NECESSARY DESCREPANCY #THE SAME IDEALS AS RAMLETHAL'S IDEAS OF UNIQUENESS AND MORALITY #BUT EXPRESSED NIHILISTICALLY RATHER THAN AS A THING OF BEAUTY

[coyotegirl-domestic-terrorism]

whenever i talk about my fascination with the social taboo around killing always have to specify that i dont want to kill anyone because normal people always think not understanding a taboo means you want to do the thing
