#corrupted authority

[kmac4him1st]

Us,Without YOU

We are sooooooo not good without God in our lives and without godly leadership in our nations. God help us to change it up.

Lord, you are my God. I honor you and praise you. You have done amazing things. You have always done what you said you would. You have done what you planned long ago. You have made the city a pile of rocks. You have destroyed her walls. The city our enemies built with strong walls is gone. It will never be built again. People from powerful nations will honor you. Cruel people from strong cities…

#everyones been saying it so ill say it too #they would TOTALLY be besties and you KNOW IT #encouraging one of the protagonists to question authority and challenge the misguided and corrupt system? #helping one of the protagonists break out of jail? #being the ONLY ONE to stand by one of the protagonists in the face of oppression and questionable practices? #but also being kind to their friends and genuinely caring about them? #they would ABSOLUTELY be besties #i love them for it #nimona #spider punk #hobie brown #nimona movie #nimona spoilers #nimona film #nimona netflix #across the spiderverse #spiderman across the spiderverse #hobie spiderverse #atsv

i think kim is just as complex of a character as harry, but i think a good amount of players (not all, but a chunk) choose to unflinchingly characterize him as “the Good Cop” and leave it at that.

#kim was a child of the revolution. he has faced racial discrimination all his life #even in a position of authority he still encounters overt racism while on the clock #but he has also killed. it's implied that the majority of his kill count comes from his time working with juveniles #he defends a police force that is corrupt and does jackshit- a tool of the coalition #the same coalition that was likely responsible for the death of both his parents #he used to be a moralist and claims to be apolitical #and yet there are times where he takes what are decidedly un-moralist left-wing stances #there is just so much there.

To me, Machete kind of has the energy of a secondary villain/coldhearted side character in someone else's story that a lot of fans latch onto, moreso than the protagonist. Question is, would he be the villain in anyone's story?

Why, thank you! I'm actually glad to hear he gives off that vibe. I don't think he set out to become a villain but a lot of people certainly view him as one.

#in the 16th century canon he starts out as an introverted but sincerely well meaning guy that never quite manages to find his social niche #he was a sensitive kid and when subjected to enough pressure #his insecurity fearfulness and powerlessness mutate into distrust resentment aggression suffocating repression and self-restraint #I don't think he's a bad person in fact he consistently tries very hard to do the right thing #do his job properly avoid letting people down and get through life with a sense of dignity #but he is supposed to come across kind of cold impersonable and difficult to be around if you don't know him personally (and very few do) #people can sense there's something wrong with him and are put off by it #Vatican is a nest of vipers and as the stakes rise he retreats deeper into his coldblooded untouchable work persona #he has no choice but to start lying scheming blackmailing and eliminating his enemies #in order to maintain his position keep Vasco safe their relationship under wraps and his own head above water #essentially playing by the same rules everyone else in the holy see has been playing with for centuries #eventually he loses his spot as the secretary of state and is manipulated/forced to take on a role in the roman inquisition #and if people were sort of iffy about him before being the authority overseeing trials torture excommunications and executions doesn't help #and since he has so few allies and such an infamous reputation he's an easy target for scapegoating whenever necessary #towards the end it dawns on him that he's become the kind of twisted cruel corrupt person he used to fear and despise #and the guilt moral injury and abject self-loathing had largely sapped him of his will to live by the time the final assassin gets him #answered #anonymous #Machete #Vaschete lore #he thought his dream of priesthood would make him a better person more worthy of admiration safety and love but he climbed too high #and got roped up in the dangerous games that take place under god's nose and slowly got strangled to death

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 文豪ストレイドッグス | Bungou Stray Dogs Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Characters: Nakahara Chuuya (Bungou Stray Dogs), Dazai Osamu (Bungou Stray Dogs) Additional Tags: Horror, Psychological Horror, Hallucinations, Nakahara Chuuya-centric (Bungou Stray Dogs), Blood and Gore, Minor Violence, Stormbringer Light Novel References (Bungou Stray Dogs), Nakahara Chuuya Needs a Hug (Bungou Stray Dogs), No Romance Summary:

Stranded in a quiet, forgotten corner of the European countryside, Chuuya is standing guard in a hallway. He could never have predicted this is how Meursault would have played out, or it's consequences. His partner is once again injured, severely, and it's his fault this time.

He can't run from that fact, nor can he run from the figure wearing his partner's face that seems intent on driving him completely mad.

(Or Chuuya hasn't slept and is having trauma induced hallucinations post-Meursault)

#bungou stray dogs #bsd chuuya #bsd dazai #my writing #realised when I posted this I've only written horror TMA before #and I can't tag this as 'canon typical corruption' and have people know what that warning means #so I tried to content warn in the author's notes as best I could #just know this is a horror piece

Vimes really was dragged into financial stability kicking and screaming

HONESTLY I don't know which watch book this is specifically in response to but since my most recent reread was Feet of Clay its making me think about Vimes ditching his new expensive functional boots at the first hint of an opportunity and demanding someone nearby trade with him so he can wander around in the fog with the soles made of wet cardboard. And he starts naming the street corner he's on by the feel of the cobbles and the other guy is like. yeah? the street sign is right there Commander I know that?

#also the bit at the end abt being anti authoritarian even tho he is authority now. practically zen #it is so funny that instead of power being a corrupting influence he's always like. gritting his teeth through it #and admitting that it is helpful. which is the only reason he'll let himself be given a dukedom #but he WILLN'T wear the feathery hat #discworld #pigeon post

#raylan givens #justified #when you wanna distance yourself from your family name because your father traumatized you #but you recognize that your name evokes fear in stupid criminals #so you gotta qualify it with your power and authority and badge #to be your own person separate from your corrupt lineage as well as the embodiment of justice

Everytime i think i've seen everything in this fandom... wdym the man who exterminated Houses Tarbeck and Reyne down to the last child, who ordered an innocent 14-year-old to be gang-raped by an entire garrison before ordering his own son to rape her last, who emotionally abused said son down to his last moment on Earth for the crime of being born disabled, who ordered the sacking of an entire city and commanded every atrocity in the Riverlands all for his own personal and politican gain, wasn't evil? Tywin Lannister ruined the life of hundreds, if not thousands of people, including his own children, and the narrative is quite explicit in portraying him as the source of his own destruction. Tywin Lannister is one of the most evil, cruel, petty and malicious man of ASOIAF, even if he didn't personally commit every act of violence himself; the fact that I see people still somehow making excuses for his behavior is ..????!?!?

#tywin lannister #asoiaf #valyrian scrolls #anti asoiaf fandom #the author of this comment says: 'that despite terrible things being done in war the person or people that perpetrate these things aren’t- #'necessarily terrible themselves' 'All I’m saying is that to label Tywin “evil” is to misunderstand him completely.' #this isnt even the 5th person i've found defending tywin #i'm not saying we should cancel tywin but i think his extreme moral corruption and reprehensible cruelty is a very important aspect #to understand his character #his evilness and where does it stem from and how does it manifest in Westeros' social order IS crucial to understand him

You guys STILL think it was 'ooc' for Ichigo to not join the Soul Society?You do know that SS is a military/cop state and that he's literally a punk right?????

#and i don't mean 'oooooh edgy boi' punk i mean he actively rebels against corruption and helps out people in need and hates authority #it's not him being quirky it's his life philosophy-yes he's goth too but that's about his aesthetic and interests #and he's not gonna give up his beliefs to date someone because again HE'S AN ACTUAL PUNK.you shouldn't take that away from him over a ship #the lack of radicalization in the bleach fandom is weird to my pastel punk ass.why can't y'all be more like the naruto fans with braincells #ichigo kurosaki #ichihime #orihime inoue #kazui kurosaki #rukia kuchiki #pro ichihime #pro orihime #pro ichigo kurosaki #pro kazui kurosaki #t4t ichihime #antiichiruki #anti soul society #bleach #💌 #letters from summer

Picture a sculptor.

He sculpts an animal... and it was meant to be an elephant for a kids zoo, but because of the limits of his tools at the time, he stopped at the skeleton only.

And it's a great fucking skeleton! It's got that old feel to it, like a Rodin sculpture, but with a modern vibe.

The skeleton even has fans and stuff, and the fans go "we love this badass mammoth skeleton you sculpted!"

And this sort of bothers the sculptor. Because he was going for an elephant, not a mammoth, right?

So when he finally has the right tools, he completes the sculpture, so the next generation of fans can enjoy the elephant...

... and the previous generation of fans, who grew up reading and dreaming about a mammoth for 30 years, they go "wtf". They hate it.

Now, the sculptor takes on an apprentice, who is also a fan.

The apprentice learns the technique, learns how to look at the clay, how to get the right texture... and is able to do all this without going "wtf" because he looks at this elephant sculpture through an anti-establishment lens.

"Yes, it has shorter tusks and almost no hair, but the purpose of the sculpture is to say that it should be hairier, taller and with longer tusks. The whole point is that this elephant is failing to be the mammoth it's meant to be!"

And y'know, it's art! If that’s what this elephant means to him, great.

But once the tools are passed down to him, the apprentice (along with other sculptors) takes some clay and makes the tusks longer, adds some fur, shortens the ears, etc.

Overtime, he makes it a mammoth again.

Of course, most fans are happy again, including many who were introduced to the elephant as kids, because the transition was a slow one, done carefully.

And, hey, it's a nice mammoth!

My only issue is that I grew up loving the elephant, just as it was. I think the elephant was friggin’ great.

But nowadays, whenever the elephant is brought up, it's always through the lens of "it's failing to be a mammoth" rather than what the sculptor said it's supposed to be: just an elephant.

#George Lucas #Dave Filoni #this is probably a stupid metaphor but it's what I came up with #I'm not saying Filoni's content is “bad” I just think it's a pity we aren't seeing the original narrative intent much nowadays #And to be clear #Filoni was NOT the ONLY one reframing the elephant as a mammoth #it's a whole bunch of authors who worked on SW post-Prequels #From EU writers to current canon writers #I'm not pointing the finger and saying “FILONI IS THE ISSUE” #On the contrary if you look at his early TCW stuff you see his portrayal of the Jedi is much more charitable than say Karen Traviss' #It's a whole generation of fans who wanted to still like Luke and Star Wars DESPITE the Prequels #and concluded the only way this was possible was to see them as a commentary on the Jedi's failure #When the fact is: y'all just didn't think the Prequel Jedi were likeably-written... you were hoping for more Luke Skywalker #instead you got a bunch of ambassadors mediating between corporations and politicians #And GL was adamant the Prequels were about Anakin and the Republic and how Sidious helped them both corrupt themselves

If my reader characters had no personalities, no backstories, nothing, I’d have no fic. Because they’d have no motivations. No challenges. Nothing to overcome.

Rocks for brains is what they’d have.

Characters have impact on the story, on the world. I’m so fucking sorry you have no imagination, no empathy, no ability to recognize what’s exists for the sake of the story and what you can take or leave as far as projecting.

#I do my best to make sure I at least don’t describe actual physical traits #certain things like hairpins can be taken or left #a character wearing a certain dress can be taken or left if you want to imagine something else idc #but I never describe specific features because they don’t even fucking matter unless the reader is intended to be a certain way #And I know maybe it isn’t for everyone to read reader inserts anyway #but like go read a fucking book and tell me you agree or disagree with like fucking Holden Caulfield #like maybe you don’t have to be able to project 100% maybe the author doesn’t know you!!!!! Maybe write for yourself!!!!!! #I wanted a fic with religious corruption and to share it with a friend so I’m gonna write it!!!! #That’s how that WORKS #the fucking entitlement of TT is gonna give me a heart attack one day istg #not everything is about you the individual who no one fucking knows!!!! You are a spec of dust my friend!!!!!

Choose Your Baby from the Coren Authority! (Redraw)

I remembered I drew other versions of Coren if he was born from the other Diamonds so I decided to redraw them! The old version is under the cut if you want to see it.

White! Coren: -Has dragon/bat wings -Has dark gray spikes on his back -Long tail with spikes

Yellow! Coren: -Upside down yellow horns -Tail with no spikes -Has 'wings' on his arms that he would use to glide (but I forgot to draw it oof)

Blue! Coren: -Ice horns and ice freckles/mini horns -Ice 'spikes' on shoulders and back -Another pair of arms, made of ice; not retractable -Has small bear-like tail

Old version of the Coren Authority picture:
