forgot to say I read Riverstar's Home the other day. having escaped Dawn of the Clans, I actually kinda liked it.

River and Night are best friends and it never goes romantic and I like that.

Also our mans is magic. He meditates and receives visions from the river and can astral project himself out lmao

I also like that he straight up doesn't like Clear Sky. From the moment he meets him, River Ripple dislikes every part of him. He hates the way he's territorial, hates the way he treats his son and the way he treats his kin.

Perfect view of Clear Sky.

can't believe a show based on a videogame (usually games adaptations are notoriously bad, which isn't the case here tho) gave me the beauty and the beast/twisted mirrors/enemies to traveling companions/ruthless antihero+optmistic but still badass heroine who takes none of his shit/age gap but make it sexy dynamic of my dreams. as much as i love maximus and i think he deserves the best writing ever because 1. he's a clever deconstruction of the aspiring Knight bro who's actually a bit of a loser and, as much as lucy, sees the world in black&white at first and then doesn't get what he thought he wanted but what he needs (or at least i hope he'll eventually get it), and 2. he's a cutie and i want an epic love story for him too, it's very funny how they tried to give us a puppy kind of romance and the tumblr girlies still fixated on the "toxic ~she bites his finger off and he cuts hers off and sews it on his hand in what we'll pretend it's a symbolic marriage rings exchange or whatever~ asshole who used to be a nice guy/good girl™ with a lot of spunk and hidden anger but unshakeable morals" kind of relationship.

#mind you idt the writers will ever have the guts to go for this pair or anything and i'm perfectly okay with the maximus/lucy romance #but still. they tried to give us the wholesome love story between two cuties with a killer side #and the fandom went ~mmmh we kinda want for that girl and the noseless radioactive ghoul to fuck nasty actually #shhdhdhf i'm sorry but this was so predictable to me. conosco i miei polli #also. i don't fully understand those who see it as a father/daughter thing? just because it worked on tlos #doesn't mean we need the same kind of dynamic here #1. despite him being an actual father (or at least. he was 200+ years ago) i've never seen a less paternal character than the ghoul lmao #2. lucy is an adult woman. young but in her mid twenties i guess? cooper had (and maybe still has) a daughter but the kid was like. 6 or 7? #lucy doesn't need a daddy she's a grown up. stop infantilizing women all the freaking time #let them be fully equals!! let them be bickering road trip companions/a killer squad/tentative allies who eventually form a real bond #i SWEAR if the writers go full parent/child bs with them in s2 because they're more popular #(at least on ao3. i don't expect the same level of insanity from the general audience) #than the canon ship i'll riot. idt they will but still #..... maybe they should go for a hot max/lucy/coop polycule instead. that would be interesting lmao #vaultghoul #fallout #val rambles in the tags #val speaks #txt

JC antis will look at JC being blacklisted by matchmakers as an example of his "misogyny" (an event that didn't even happen in canon, mind) whilst ignoring that all his CANON events involving women were all respectful??

Being afraid of his mother yet willing to take on her family heirloom, eager to avenge her after her death and desparing over losing her. Insisting that WWX apologises to both HER and his father by kneeling before them. Internalising everything she says and taking her words seriously to the extent that he was very submissive and meek before her..

Looking up to his sister, willing to fight another sect heir for her despite worry of sullying his own and the sect's image. Respecting every word she says along with her choice of whom she marries (despite disliking said person) and starting a seige in her name the moment she was killed..

Treating the prostitute who came to testify about JGY with proper manners and respect, despite her status (a status that was heavily frowned upon and not taken seriously mind, especially as a woman in ancient China).

Putting all his faith in a woman he had only heard about through rumours to fix his core for him without question..

But sure. He's misogynistic because he's not interested in marriage and romance ig. 🙄

Just say y'all are acephobic and go.

I swear tumblr zoomers describe Korrasami's relationship like historians looking at actual gay relationships

"They were just good friends"

"Their relationship was so ambiguous"

"There was nothing too special with them"

#korrasami #i need you guys to understand #the censorship that korrasami faced #was SO MUCH DIFFERENT and aggressive #than the censorship that relationships like lumity face today #i understand that korrasami seems underwhelming #but keep in mind #their relationship being this watered down/censored #almost got the entire show completely nuked off the planet #if you are going to say some nasty shit about korrasami #(or even just the legend of korra as a whole) #do your research about the BS bryke had to face #you need to understand the misogynoir/queerphobia/bad scheduling/unclear direction/budget cuts/etc #that they had to face in order to do this #ALSO this is factually wrong #as korra and asami canonically kiss in the series

[myimaginationplain]

I've come to the conclusion that being assigned the fandom-mandated "sunshine character" is the worst possible fate a character could face

#maybe I'm just biased because the characters that this happens to tend to be some of my favorites but I think I'm onto something #these characters aren't allowed depth of emotion or complex inner worlds. once a character is fanonized as the 'ray of sunsine' #or the 'cinnamon roll' they cease to occupy any space outside of that role in fanon content. they're happy & silly & not much else #no matter how much depth they may actually have in canon. #popular fanon has a tendency to treat happiness & goodness like states without any emotional complexity. #emotional complexity is reserved for the anti-heroes & jerks-with-a-heart-of-gold you see. #atp 'X is a ray of sunshine' has begone to feel like code for 'I don't actually care about this character very much nor do I understand #their canon narrative so I'm just gonna ignore them 98% of the time. but hey they're really nice! that's something! anyways—' #this is about many characters but I particularly want to call out aang & nightcrawler / kurt wagner as two who get this the worst. #because christ the mischaracterization they get from people who never think about them outside of the 'uwu small bean' box is infuriating #also steven universe & miles morales. although it's not so bad for steven after suf #fandom bs #please pretend I typed 'begun' a few tags back

Just read your previous posts from 2022 and damn, I somehow missed the fact that Fireheart was willing to DIE for the clan when the dogs came. Man's was willing to yeet himself into the water to save an entire clan that never apologized for being so shitty to him.

Fireheart has so much patience to put up with this bs, 'cause I would've been pretty snappy about the "kittypets are too soft" topic. Darkstripe would've been shredded like moss- or you know, BLINDED for poisoning a fucking kit.

Like damn- no wonder kittypets don't think highly of clan cats, they can annoying af sometimes.

Moving on, Fireheart was way too nice and too good for the clans sometimes. I appreciate aus like yours where he's sassy and doesn't take shit from anyone.

Oh yeah, canon Fireheart was seriously about to throw himself from the edge to save ThunderClan from the dogs despite them still harassing him, long after the event. Honestly, it was the lack of a support system I think - the poor guy had no friends and wanted to fit in so badly that he let all the hazing and bullying grind him down. Canon Fire deserved so much better - or at least a dang, apology.

Top 50 OTPs of All Time ☆ #44. Naomi Campbell & Emily Fitch

"I’ve loved you since the first time I saw you. I think I was twelve. It took me three years to pluck up the courage to speak to you. And I was so scared about the way I felt, you know, loving a girl, so I learned how to become a sarcastic bitch to kind of feel normal. I screwed guys to make it go away, but it didn’t work. When we got together it scared the shit out of me. Because you were the one person who could ruin my life. I pushed you away. I made you think things were your fault. But really I was just terrified of pain. I screwed that girl, Sophia, to kind of spite you for having that hold on me, and I’m a total fucking coward because I got these… these tickets to Goa for us three months ago, but I, I couldn’t stand… I didn’t want to be a slave to the way I feel about you. Can you understand? You were trying to punish me back and it’s horrible. It’s so horrible, because really, I’d die for you. I love you. I love you so much it’s killing me."

had an epiphany about how estranged from canon and very unintelligible my hc for Akira’s background is

#persona 5 #shuake #akeshu #akira kurusu #goro akechi #like. I realize canonically he’s said to be from the country but shhhhhh #let me have my little mamma mia bs #fic is currently 35k…. side fic (yes) is 19k.

Shout out to the one zosan shipper that was on the zolu tag spewing bullshit about how "zolu shippers read the manga incorrectly" and that it was "erasure to ship luffy who is aroace with anyone"... 😅

#confidently incorrect #leave aroace ppl out of ur btw so tired of this bs of aroace ppl being incalable of romance #<- as an aroace person myself #ive experienced it #just rarely #also luffy being aroace is a headcanon not canon #please exit the fandom space sometimes and touch grass #and to the zosan shippers #im sorry you have to deal with idiots like that. that was just an insane post to read lol #zolu #anti zosan #one piece

I'm once again thinking about the missed opportunities to have Klaus and Kol bond more. Part of Klaus' whole motivation as a vampire is to get his werewolf part back and to finally be stronger than Mikael (sort of, I'm simplifying) both of which can be obtained by breaking his curse. But Kol? Kol is the only other original that can relate to having a fundamental part of themself ripped away from them. Klaus might not have known he was a werewolf until he killed, but he likely still had a connection he couldn't explain, as evident by him going to watch the wolves transform. And something he'd never been able to explain was now gone. He might only be able to realise the connection afterwards through its absence.

Kol though. Kol had grown up with magic, a connection to nature and the world around him in a way the rest of his siblings supposedly didn't have. And then he gets turned. And not only has his baby brother died, his father has just murdered him and the rest of his siblings after forcing them to drink human blood, which he'll later learn. Now, not only does he have to deal with the grief of Henrik's death and also his own but also the loss of his magic. A loss that's likely only worsened by Kol being a self-proclaimed child prodigy.

Kol is pretty much the only one who could understand what Klaus is going through with the binding of his wolf. We know Kol searched for ways to get his magic back/carry on practicing magic in the same way that Klaus was looking for ways to break his curse. While Klaus likely could still feel his wolf there despite being bound, Kol has no access to his magic anymore. I just think they should've been able to bond or connect over their shared loss of an intrinsic aspect of their selves at the hands of their parents

#TVD #The Mikaelsons #Kol Mikaelson #Klaus Mikaelson #briefly back on my the originals shouldve gotten to be a family goddammit and as someone from a big family im personally offended bs #i did right a lil snippet about them bonding over this that i havent posted yet for the joml verse but still think its an unexplored concep #need more witch!kol acknowledgement honestly. just need more content of my boy #anyway. klaus having a fascination with the moon and kol telling him about celestial events and how it affects his magic when theyre boys #klaus losing that connection to the moon feeling lost & extra tempermental feeling his wolf claw at its binds and vowing to break his curse #kol determined to get his magic back at any cost relating to that devasting loss and promising to help him find a loophole for his curse #kol who becomes extra reckless and determined when he learns that theres a way to break klaus' curse so maybe he can get his magic back too #that knowledge and recklessness combined with his loss of magic driving him to become the volatile vampire that we see #that leads to him being daggered repeatedly but that first time breaks something in that bond between him & klaus that never fully recovers #it makes him bitter and resentful only fueling his reckless behaviour particularly when there seems to be no leads on reclaiming his magic #that he becomes distant from his siblings in the process especially with finn still daggered but that distance only cements the idea #to his siblings that hes a danger and cant be trusted that he needs to be daggered if theyre to stay safe from mikael #the loss of his magic leading to his spiral as a vampire and him being ostracised by his family > actual tvdu kol canon #klaus being trapped in a room staring at the corpse of his little brother knowing he never repaired that relationship with him #and now he never can so he refuses to look away as penance and a reminder of his failings to his little brother #*edit: one of the reblogs on this post is the author of big bad wolf and honestly she does an amazing job at portraying the mikaelsons #as actual siblings if you havent read it its one of my favourites for characterisations but we need more 😭 i want it to be the norm

i can't believe there's still people out there who genuinely think Ochako would "kill Toga on sight" at this point

like, okay, there's the anime-only people who aren't aware of manga developments or are actively avoiding spoilers, and of course there's all the people who clearly stopped giving a shit ages ago (yet somehow still feel completely secure making blanket declarations about a franchise they no longer keep up with???)

but even then, and even if you're not a shipper or just don't like the characters-- how can anyone have ever believed that makes any sense ever? like we're not even talking self-defense apparently? just "on sight"? who do you think Ochako is, the Punisher in pink?

like i don't think i'm especially media literate myself, but-- how is it possible for people to be this bad at reading where a narrative is going?

because of course that's exactly what the Togachako plotline was leading up to, clearly the ultimate endpoint of developing Toga Himiko as a sympathetic villain important to Ochako's heroic actualization was a teenager unquestioningly enacting the extrajudicial murder of another teenager

that's exactly what MHA is all about, right? that's the sort of person Ochako is, the kind of hero that she wants to be? that's definitely good storytelling and not at all inane or grotesque? ugh

#don't want to cause/deal with any drama and it'd be doubly not worth it on a post that wasn't even about togachako #i just need to vent somewhere or i'll stew on it for ages #an offhanded comment in tags is so not worth this amount of anger and yet ohhhh i am mad #honestly this is probably less about that post and more about all the similar shit i saw on That Hellsite when the 391+ spoilers dropped #bakugou stans i have so much respect for you all i would be dead within a day if i had to deal with this BS as often as you do #mha spoilers #bnha spoilers #not really any actual spoilers but ig the vague allusions are still worth tagging for the previously-mentioned anime people #rest of the post sounded like shit opinions too but i didn't really get the whole context and not interested in looking further #this shit has already lived in my head rent-free long enough #no but seriously as a togachako OTP shipper there are in fact a lot of rational reasons for why the ship shouldn't work #canon is currently laughing maniacally in the face of your rationality but at least those reasons do make sense #why would you choose this goddamn Ochako slander as your reasoning instead
