The other homestuck post I had in me, its the year of the cringe weirdo couple, my beloveds.

#homestuck #meowrails #meowrail #equius zahhak #nepeta leijon #its pale romance hours #i hated them in the comic when i started but now i would kill for them #homestuck did em dirty #but thats what fanfic and fanart is for #even though there is shockingly little of either for them and it makes me so so so sad #relegated to background characters only #i cant fully blame them though like equius is the worst but ive come to like him when i think of him outside of his joke aspects #hes the definition of crack taken seriously #mogs art

the bit in HtN in the canaan house dream bubble where harrow says something along the lines of, "this is unsustainable, you are all in danger, we need to find a way for you to escape" and abigail responds, "we know how. we already did it for the kids. we all could have left at any time and we all chose to stay, for you". and then harrow is like, "ok but at least ortus should leave. he isn't a fighter, he never was, he deserves to leave" and abigail just shuts her down. she's like, "i already tried, and he can't be convinced. he wants to stay for you". i am unwell about it. harrow can't even really try to convince the remaining souls to leave her because they have already sent away the ones who needed to be protected and they have already tried to convince each other, and failed. there's nothing left for her to use as ammunition against herself. there's nothing left but evidence that she is cared for. forgive me but i just want characters who have spent their life drowning in self loating to be forced to reckon with the fact that they are loved.

#harrow the ninth #harrowhark nonagesimus #abigail pent #tlt #the locked tomb #tlt thoughts #txt #ortus nigenad #im unwell ok. deeply. eating drywall. screaming crying throwing up. #harrow cant even blame herself for ortus staying #she cant even think that maybe ortus is so scared of HER that he feels trapped and like he cant leave #she cant even think that because ABIGAIL tried to convince him #and everyone else already knows how to leave. people were already sent away #im screaming crying throwing up. harrow being forced to accept that is IS cared for because there is NOTHING #left she can try and use to comvince herself that she's forcing them to stay or that they might not want to #she just has to. deal with!!!! the fact that they all want to stay!!!!!!!! #im unwell!! #500 #1k #2k

Coriolanus Snow and Anakin Skywalker are perfect examples of really interesting characters who had every chance to do the right thing but repeatedly chose wrong even though they were surrounded by good people, all because they had one person whispering in their ear and convincing them to be selfish and to hurt people instead. There is no point where they have to do what they do, it’s their choices that make them compelling.

They’re also both incredibly controlling over the women they claim to love but are quick to try and physically harm them when they realise that they’re actually human beings who will not blindly follow them. It’s very clear they were possessive, not actually in love. To sincerely love is to respect someone’s agency and neither of them were capable of that.

Another trait they both share is that, despite being layered and well written but fundamentally flawed characters who turn to evil by their own free will, if you cast an attractive actor to play them, there are always going to be people who blindly ignore the entire plot just to defend them and justify their actions. Being a victim of abuse or oppression does not excuse you from being a perpetrator.

#‘anakin and vader are different-‘ #i am under your bed #the entire original trilogy is rendered utterly pointless if that is the case (which is most certainly is not) #cant even blame george lucas for this one bc it’s still so obvious #anakin CHOOSES to return to the light bc of luke. it was always him and this was always about his choices. #whereas snow is just committed to evil lmao #tired of anakin’s pretty privilege #notice how they both had a best friend and a love interest trying to convince them to be better? #snow had sejanus and lucy gray and anakin had obi wan and padmé #anakin skywalker #coriolanus snow #star wars #the hunger games #tbosas

wish they hadn’t bitched out on having will kill bob in s2. do you know what i would have done with that all-encompassing and inescapable guilt

#like yes will blames himself to an extent but #it could have been so juicy. there is so much there. #the way it would have changed joyce and will’s relationship forever even though she CANT blame him and she DOESNT blame him #there would still be the tiniest part!!!! the smallest fraction!!!!!!!!! #putting will byers in a pickle jar and shaking him around. you haven’t suffered enough for me

i cannot stop thinking about ian rider. more specifically, how alex had so many unprocessed feelings about him after his death. imagine being an orphan, getting adopted by your uncle as a baby, having him raise you for 14 years then discovering he lied to you your entire life. that he [unintentionally or not] trained you to be something you never wanted to be under the guise of bonding with you. never being able to ask him what his actual intentions were because he's dead. never getting closure for it. im going to throw up.

#i remember reading stormbreaker for the first time and i could not stop crying the entire book #i have big emotions dont blame me #but seeing alex follow in ian's footsteps quite literally seeing and living through what lead to his death #it fucked me up #i dont remember if it was outright stated in the books but alex wondering the entire time if ian even loved him? #it wasn't framed directly but thats how i interpreted it #i cant even coherently put into words all my thoughts about this #ontop of everything else this is one of the core things that makes me so emotional over this silly little book series like holy shit #alex my son i just want to give you a hug #alex rider #alex rider books #ian rider #please don't get me started about my thoughts of whether or not ian did in fact love him #my head might explode #these books fucked up my brain chemistry permanently

The problem is they both make sense.

John lacks any agency, and as his abilities start "failing" he loses more of what little he has. The only things he can do is perceive the world through Arthur's eyes and talk to him in his head. That's it. He has no material effect on the world around them. He is solely 100% reliant on Arthur for his continued existence and influence on the world. He can't ignore Arthur whatsoever (unlike Arthur who can ignore John easy peasy) he can't Do anything but talk and observe (and also experience the deaths of people Arthur touches but ultimately that does nothing). Of course he is going to be distrustful of other people and possessive over Arthur.

Arthur feels like suddenly he can't rely on this very reliable thing that has been keeping him alive this whole time. It would shake anyone up. Especially with the shit they have to deal with? If he can't rely on directions he will be sliced to ribbons or shot without a chance of fighting back. They may as well be dead already. And for all of John's lack of agency, it's Arthur who has to actually deal with the consequences. He's the one who's getting wounded and torn to bits and has to fight all that. Plus it's HIS body. If someone's existence relies on your body, you have the right to refuse, bodily autonomy is a human right.

The problem is they've gone through this cycle before (cycle of learning and forgetting and learning that they are One Unit and need to work Together vs The Problems and forgetting) but never has it shaken Arthur so much. Even when they've argued before he would still listen to John's directions. But now? Everything is in question (as is probably the intent behind John's "failing" abilities.) They DO need other people to help and they DO need to be careful and include John. They cannot truly trust someone else while keeping John a secret or without his input. Arthur has the most control over the situation and the onus is on him to make the compromises. Yeah it's his body but 1) countless times he promised to John that they were in this together and 2) at this point separating them would be so traumatic that they may as well be One.

All of this is to say, curious that Arthur is so willing to tell Oscar about literally everything EXCEPT John. What happens if he does? What if there's someone else to assert for John in a way Arthur can't ignore so easily? Would that legitimize the shared ownership of Arthur's body? What does it mean for John to gain agency by the loss of Arthur's autonomy?

#im being Bold today and not saving this in the draft #pls be nicey if you disagree #i have a lot of confusing thoughts and feelings about what bodily autonomy means when youve got a guy living in your head #that is somehow separate from yourself #malevolent #malevolent spoilers #goobabble #also to be clear I think Arthur is being complete major dickhead #i understand why he feels the way he does #or at least how i think hes feeling #and i think john would stab him if he could #slap him upside the head for being a dummy #i wouldnt blame him lol #i cant include all the intricacies of their dynamic so theres def things that may be missing here but you get it #also yeah i watched the fionna and cake finale lol #to be completely honest i dont think these guys even know what Trust is #they are all men of faith #posting before i can overthink myself into a spiral about this

Hey. The Finders have no idea that Bonzle was captured. Fritz and Spitz are still waiting, playing video games in the Monastery, for Cole to bring their sister out of hiding now that the blood moon is over. Geo is still sitting by the window, watching and waiting for a dragon on the horizon to return his kid safe and sound. Cole took a very unsure Bonzle, assured them all everything would be okay, and they'd be back soon. He promised he'd find a way to protect her.

Don't think about how they'll smile when Cole finally trudges back, happy to know he's okay. Especially don't think about the Finders stopping, looking out over the group, and how Cole can't look them in the eyes when they turn to him and ask; where's Bonzle?

I love the idea of Hiccup being plagued with guilt whenever he's not able to bond with a dragon or has to fight one (despite it often being self defense he has no choice in). Like, the whole thing with the skrill probably weighed on him for years until they caught it again and he chose to release it.

#cant exactly blame him for the skrill #it was a hostile dragon he couldn't let dagur have it it was the only solution he saw at the time #he was just a kid then too #but whenever he has to fight a 'bad dragon' he must feel so guilty #like he knows dragons are like humans in the sense they have equal capacity for good and evil #and are sometimes even intelligent enough to be aware of it #but whenever he has to fight one (possibly even kill it) he probably thinks to himself 'doesn't this make me no better than the hunters?' #logically he knows its different but its always hard to separate stuff like that to overcome guilt #anyways yeah ty for attending my hc ramble if you actually read the tags ily #httyd #httyd rtte #rtte #hiccup haddock #httyd headcanon #httyd dob #hiccup headcanon #how to train your dragon headcanon #moth.txt #httyd brainrot #httyd headcanons

my favorite reoccurring trend in lovebrush is the writers making alkaid their punching bag. like they just love taking that guy and putting him in a situation. they will see the chance to torture him and take it. like dealing with intense, otherworldly spells. or subconscious mind influences. and then every single time this happens, he just powers though it because he loves and respects mc too much.

like. in godheim it was asmoran's lust spell.

and then the writers were like alright. that was pretty good. but what if we mentally tortured, manipulated, and controlled this guy for like over a decade instead. what then. and then eden happened.

and then it keeps! happening! in eden!

dude can't catch a break! maybe i just love this trope because of how easily the writers could turn it into cheap fanservice, but choose not to. so good.

so basically what i'm taking from this is that no one could waterboard incriminating information about mc from modern alkaid and i think that's hilarious

#lovebrush chronicles #alkaid mcgrath #addy rambles #long post #sorry i just. cant believe this keeps HAPPENING. i cant even blame the writers bc if i had an inherently gentle natured character #id put him through hell to test that too. writer bait #i said this before but. aspec fanservice. no i wont explain this.

oopsie! accidentally thought about katsuya "brother complex" suou in hysterics upon finding his baby brother burned and stabbed in front of the shrine! holding his hand and trying to stop all that goddamn blood on the way to the hospital! sitting by his bedside as he recovers, the kid laying there so scared in the hospital! silly me!

#hmm i wonder if this is why hes so protective of him in p2ep #wait no nvm that never happened in that timeline #weird #anyways #the comic anthology has a 4 panel bit about katsuya looking for him that night at the shrine #the audacity to play it off as a joke. #i cant even begin to imagine how devastated he mustve been. #persona 2 #p2 #persona 2 innocent sin #p2is #<- since it only happens in that game. because time travel #katsuya #tatsuya suou #hey #do you think he blamed himself?

I'll stop talking about Krakoa soon but I just thought of this other thing about Moira, and it really is like.... they changed a human ally, who had morals, and wanted to help her friends, who wasn't perfect but was ultimately a good person who did her best to aid her friends, into a mutant who had to be threatened into fighting for mutantkind, and was self-hating, and in fact her own self-hate is why the Beautiful And Perfect Paradise Ethnostate was destoryed, because she allied herself with Evil Bad People Who Want To Kill Us, A Blessed Minority rather than accept her mutant heritage.

The statements this era has made are horrific. They would be horrific at the best of times, but they are especially horrific now, and the inability of writers to criticise the very clear Zionist allegory they have created is absolutely horrific.

#brieuc.txt #krakoa #moira mactaggert #xmen #zionism #ask to tag #I had a thing in the tags but for some reason tumblr logged me out part way through? #anyway the failure of the writers to allow the characters complicit in the creation of the ethnostate look bad has made this era so fucked. #we cant let emma or scott or kitty or jean or magneto or charles or kurt or or or look bad #so we blame everything on Sinister and Moira and Beast and go to sleep #even those who are somewhat critical like Storm and Logan are not allowed to say ''ethnostates are bad. fundamentally'' #we never explore the eugenicist foundation of krakoa. in fact we rehabilitate apocalypse to make him look better! #to reiterate: goodbye krakoa and stay dead bitch.
