#i just have 'u seem more interesting than others'

[alphaketoglutaricacid]

the way he came real close to one of laios desperate plans while sleep deprived and hangry several chapters in advance.. he really does know laios huh.

my tags got too long so here they are under the cut

Even tho he wanted to sleep he probs was still listening to everything laios has to say. Bc he is Always Listening and Observing

Interesting in the context of how laios wants someone to understand him - to see him as he is but also the ways in which hes afraid of rejection and being seen as less than human but lacking the monstrousness to retaliate and lash out without regret bc then it would be The natural order of things but hell never be a monster he can only be a human being

but i think part of the reason shuro got so mad is bc he was putting all this effort into being considerate and feeling he got none in return. i think he wanted to be seen too! But i think he overlooked how he feels safe enough to express his rawest feelings w laios

But also i think laios was the first relationship shuro did not just let fizzle out at the first sign of interpersonal difficulty. bc lbr in this manner hes a coward. Disgusted by maizuru being his fathers mistress ? Dont talk it out n continue letting her treat him like a child while ignoring her. concerned hien and him will turn out like maizuru and his father—just let the friendship drift apart w time. concerned abt how inutade views her retainership when he knows his father just sees her as an oddity—dont say shit n just stew in it 5eva

passive aggression warrior!!!

Also interesting laios is like if we can make her monstrousness more manageable maybe she can live among ppl…the projection

The part at the end where toshiros like I know his gait from the sound of the bell by heart so i 100% know its him. he was listening the whole time! like a second heartbeat. Very metaphorical for their relationship. its a challenging relationship for the both of them but they dont give it up bc they care about each other.

thats love honestly i was genuinely moved by the interplay of toshiro laios n kabrus relationship. that laios promises hell eat w kabru on his terms even tho kabru wasnt upfront abt the monster thing initially giving him a motive to return. and how shuro gave him the bell as a promise hed bring him back to the surface no matter what. And he fulfills it even when laios leaves the bell behind bc he knows him so well To the surface and live among other ppl.

bc laios whole life he felt like he couldnt understand other ppl and they couldnt understand him even tho he wanted that connection that seemed so easy to everyone else

but thru kabru and shuro we see that no one in the world understands anyone else completely- thats why they enter the story w awful first impressions. As well as like well. Thats probs how laios comes off to other ppl

shuro calls him back bc the two as his peers are like u already have connections who value you (shuro) and deep connections youve yet to make w ppl who will be important to u going forward (kabru) and theyll both challenge and change deep seated issues about themselves to keep their connection w u alive

nothing more morally reprehensible than a cleric (checks notes) using the key features of their class…? surely that can’t be where we are regarding analysis of character actions in cr at this point.

#also like. fcg already cast turn undead around laudna he knew it wouldn’t destroy her. #like fcg does make fucked up choices fairly often but the cleric desiring to cast turn undead when there are many undead creatures isn’t one #also like. yes fcg was a shithead about it w his respect the gods comments but. very very specifically laudna Has been starting shit #in every convo even tangentially related to the gods laudna is the one who without clear motive goes Well What If Gods Bad Actually #which. sure . if u had a clear reason i’d be happy to follow the trail. i’d think it’s still a dumb claim but yk #like the few times when fearne has brought it up it’s been prodding the ideas the Others have in response #and when imogen has it’s been certainly self centered but that means it’s evidently motivated whereas with laudna it’s like. it seems like #she’s just trying to stir shit up which I Would Love if we got context for the Why #laudna is just as responsible for any situation where her and fcg are disagreeing as fcg would be . because they’re Both disagreeing #also of interesting note but. fearne and fcg are much more in the midst of an obvious disagreement. fearne is a changebringer Hater™ . #anyway my point is that a lot of fcg’s character at the moment is being a weirdo about religion so . don’t be shocked when he’s a weirdo #and also. it’s so so fucking stupid to see (jester voice) The Cleric™ cast turn undead and decide it’s more about interpret conflict #than it is. fcg has a very specific build that can be pretty restrictive in terms of beneficial battle actions. let them use turn undead #cr spoilers #cr tag

#had an interesting conversation with my sister the other day. odd i guess bc my sister is pretty smart #on paper shes smarter than me. or at least less dyslexic than me #but she didnt seem to kno what cancer is. i mean like how it works. i mean. cancer is a mistake. a confluence of unfortunate accidents #leading to unrestrained cellular growth. when it metastasizes. when it moves to other parts of the body. those same cells continue growing #if u have smooth muscle cancer and it moves to your kidney. you body is trying to grow more smooth muscle on your kidney #at least as i understand it. and she asked why it wants to kill you. it doesnt want anything. it just is. its not a thing of malicious #intent. its neutral. it grows. it takes up resources. it takes up space. and it grows and grows until the organ it grows on stops #functioning properly. like a parasite she said. but no. not like a parasite. it grows like an empty space. a mass of flesh. a constant #obstructive pressure. it grows like only a tumor can. i dunno. it didnt seem to connect with her that this thing didnt want to kill our mom #but it did anyway. and she felt weird about how long she lived after they took her off any support. but thats how cancer kills #it stops an organ from functioning and most of those r important so it only takes one. so her heart kept beating for 12 more hrs bc it was #meant to beat for 40 more years. but not much it could do without working kidneys and without working blood #but that's life. that's death. that's nature. its all nutral even if it feels horrible to the individual. #i dunno. i thought it was interesting. shes 25 and her mother had cancer for 10 years so id think shed kno more #we're at a weird phase now bc its been a week since she died and everything feels normal. we'll see what happens at the wake this week #its been interesting for sure bc she was sick for 10 years but my parents didnt prepare at all for her to die #so my dad is scrambling to put together the pieces shr left behind to make sure that all the bills r paid and whatnot. he had to guess her #computer password. she didnt tell us what she wanted us to have. she didnt tell us the importance of her jewelry and who it belonged to #before her. i dunno. we're seeing the outline of my mothers Pathology in what she left behind. both in the physical objects and in the #feelings she imparted. i dunno. its been weird #unrelated

[snickerdoodlles]

there's a point at which someone's fear of being a dick wraps back around to them just being a dick anyways

#im side-eyeing those who reblogged my post on ethnocentrism and missed the point #but im also thinking about the tags i saw on being too scared to comment on fic #the first is being ~too scared~ to write cultures other than their own #(1. my point was people should be learning *as they watch the show* not just when they write #2. i just. jfC. stop saying youre too scared to *try* to write from another culture/POV different from your own as tho its a *good* thing) #the second is just annoying/frustrating because being too scared to participate in community is how community's die #i dont want to be dismissive of cancel culture because i do know the stories and there is always indv cases of a person ready to be a dick #but like. its just *not* a thing most people have to be worried about. very likely you're just not big enough to have that concern. #anxiety's no joke but like. u dont just accept the anxiety as the excuse. you have to challenge it. i've been there but u cant feed it. #and i dont want to sound dismissive of that anxiety but im really frustrated with seeing people throw that excuse around #without considering how their fear-based attitudes/actions come off in turn #such as not showing fandom creatives any appreciation for fear of saying the ~wrong~ thing #which comes off as creatives' stuff seeming to be ignored completely or otherwise very discouraging silence #when the only rule for tags/comments is to treat others the way you wish to be treated and apologize if you accidentally tread a toe #and being more worried about accidentally stepping on a theoretical persons toe than interested in showing actual people gratitude #like? pretty sure im not the only one side-eyeing that like ''have u really considered this feeling/logic????'' #again: its not saying that anxiety isnt a dick or easy to dismiss but i am saying maybe challenge it or at least reflect on it #i just #blahh #the commenting thing is way more mild than the other but tags arent for that conversation and i need a much better brain space for that one

dysgraphic artiƨts risɘ UP!!!!!

#raise your pencils!!!! and erasers. to fix the backwards letters 😔 #sorry still thinking about my weirdness with my art professors. yknow a lot of em have been really pushing us as #students to make our personal identities a major part of like our 'brand' as artists #which. well from an art history major perspective thats a very contentious and nuanced topic. i love a lot of artists who live this way #and i think its great seeing my peers who focus on identity thrive. but also as an fine arts major (double major fool LOL) #i keep getting pushed by teachers into like. specific '____ artist' identities??? #specificaly woman artist. which is a little bizarre because im a bit fat and a bit gnc so im generally like. ungendered? in day-to-day life #(which doesnt actually matter to me directly that much honestly LOL people tend to view me as like. buddy? buddy or pal.) #(not man. not woman. not anything human. sometimes i remind people of a beloved dog. which. hkdsahjk thats its own can of worms) #(a can of worms that also doesnt matter much to me directly because im a wannabe furry who chose to be the dog when playing house as a kid) #(LOL so um. well. theres that) but yeah i dunno i dont really consider myself a woman artist. its been. shockingly (and sometimes luckily?) #irrelevant to most of my life and experiences and art (although dont get me wrong misogyny is very real and very present) so i dont #have a whole lot to say about it from an art perspective. you could also call me all kinds of things. a queer artist. a mixed race artist #again technically correct. some aspects more visible in my work than others. but also very technical. i focus on race a lot in in my #art historical work but i dunno how much my drawings have to say. except that i keep making too many mixed ocs LOL #i dunno i just think my professors gotta focus that energy away from tokenizing me and over to supporting like actual #capital W Woman artists capital Q Queer artists capital A Artists of Colour who are doing far more interesting things than I #far more thought out and engaged in these topics directly. i just kind of stumble into my art blindly and confused <3 #sorry that was a long tangent WHAT IM SAYING Is despite all that: i do consider myself a capital D Dysgraphic artist #i think its an unmovable constant of my art and the way i draw and the way my hands move. the untrained eye doesnt seem to be as aware #of it directly. but those who are familiar can probably see it. the dysgraphia LOL if not just from whenever i write a letter or number #half of them are busted and frantically fixed HDKJSDJDS but its in all my art. if u can see it <3 ive been trying to embrace it #dygraphic artists raise your pencils indeed!! and throw away the eraser!!! make the legibility of your words everyone elses problem!!! #what does that say? what is that sketch? none of my business! none of your business!! its the business of my hand and the pencil alone #motor skill and spatial issues take the wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel

...what mediocre jack black gay sex movie?

This one called the D-Train

They dont talk abt it in the trailer but jabdkf the plot twist is that jack black banged the cool actor guy and nearly ruined his marraige and lost his job because of it. The movie is v fascinating to me cause its not overtly Homophobic??? But the overall effect is homophobia, but it does it in a kind of compelling way and thats so funny to me. It comes soooo close to saying something interesting, but fails to do so because its conclusion is just so Weird and came out of left field (for me). So yeah its weirdly compelling in a "studying the psyche of a straight-but-not-homophobic white man whos coming to terms w being a normie" kind of way

#to be clear im not Black n dunno shit abt aave but like. #its kind of interesting how thats probably what hes imitating when hes trying to seem cool #when there were no other Black characters in the movie (that i can recall) #+ the bi man is smth hes aspiring to as someone more masculine than him #idk its interesting to me how its v much abt the jealousy white straight men have towards those who r more free or smth lmaoo #like that james baldwin quote #also lmfaoo the movie is so full of cringe funny moments i genuinely did enjoy it sjdjfj #not an earth shattering movie but i did enjoyed chewing it yknwim? cause its just so fucking baffling lmao #edit: 'free' is not the right word but hdhsjf i cant find the other word for it #like ppl who dont fit into that cookie cutter heterosexual white suburbia mould ig? lmao #ask #me @ me: 'straight but not homophobic' ok u can just say liberal

[steelycunt]

I’m not saying that a lot of Regulus fans are only interested in him because they picture him as a Timothee Chalamet insert and wouldn’t give half a fuck about the character if that fancast didn’t exist but… oh wait that is what I’m saying.

yeah i mean. i definitely think there's something in that lol honestly. as ive said before i never really got the interest in regulus i just couldnt care less about the guy he genuinely has zero canon character but. simultaneously i can see how the little that we do know about him makes him an interesting character and i can see why people enjoy the idea of him as a blank slate that you can superimpose nearly any traits you want on to--treating regulus as essentially an oc gives you lots of room for creation. its for these exact reasons that he is of no interest to me personally, and i really don't like the common conceptualisation of him that has emerged from popular headcanon consensus (especially when it involves stripping his character of all agency and half the things that could arguably make him compelling in order to gloss over the fact that he was a death eater) but thats a matter of opinion i suppose. thats a me problem. its just not my cup of tea.

the timothee chalamet thing irritates me for the same reason the ridiculous instagram model/influencer/celebrity fancasts for most characters irritate me, because one of the ONLY things we know about regulus is that he is 'less handsome than sirius'. like ok why not work with that. especially with a character like him where there is virtually nothing to work with. like please explain to me why you refuse to accept that im genuinely curious. why is that the aspect of his character you are so firmly refuting lol.

all in all, if the character is only likeable or interesting or a convincing love interest if you have to pretend they were actually super conventionally attractive, maybe they're just not that likeable or interesting or well-suited to the character you're trying to pair them off with. its a personal thing again i am just not interested in reading/writing about a cast of characters who are all meticulously tailored to conform to beauty standards i do not respect. the minute u try to convince me all your characters are super hot n yassified it all feels less real to me sorry i care less about them. im bored of hot characters i think all fictional characters should be made to look like normal everyday people and i think everyone should be less afraid of so-called ugliness i triple dog dare u

#the 'you' here is just a general vague you btw it is not directed towards any one person and obviously not you anon we're in agreement #and reading it back i fear i may come off a little more aggressive than i intended so psa this is all my opinion like. do what you want #i am not the final word on this issue or any other. i am just a guy no 1 is obligated to listen to me if they dont want to. except about r #anyway remember talking to liv about the whole regulus thing and how. the personality that has been invented for him just seems like #people were bored of r/s they wanted something like r/s but new so they superimposed remus' personality onto him and then added a #few bits of sirius. and this is all me ranting about my opinion mindlessly now but i think #its reflected in those stupid terrible incorrect quote joke posts and how you see one of them where its remus and sirius and then see the #exact same post remade except remus has been changed to regulus and sirius has been changed to james. like yeah because regulus #is just a carbon copy of remus except if he was goth lol. we've done this one before its the same thing #and absolutely regulus can be done well and absolutely i am not a definitive judge of what is 'doing regulus well' just as no one else is #but i think if u want to do regulus well u have to make him less likeable. like he cant be ur soft loveable fav. girl he was a death eater #same as i think the whole barty / evan / regulus / pandora gang is just people refurbing the marauders. same thing different colour #anyway. i feel about regulus the same way i feel about dorcas or mary or marlene. they are not really characters #they dont have any definitive canon traits and i am not really interested in creating ocs. but other people might love that idea! #which is fine! #whew. love it when i get asks about things im scared to talk about of my own accord like i cant get in trouble if you guys asked me first x #anon #telegram #the brothers black #also girls he is a product of generation after generation of inbreeding. the black family should look like the windsors sirius was an #outlier. #oh also sorry i thought i was done but i want to clarify that i am no way saying you cannot be interested in morally grey characters or #find them compelling. instead what i am trying to say is that pretending a morally grey character actually isnt morally grey #in order to justify the fact that you are interested/fond of/compelled by them is boring and a disservice to your fav. hope that makes sens #within what we do know about regulus there are things that make him GOOD but not really anything that makes him likeable. and so much #of popular headcanon seems to be bestowing a ton of likeable traits upon him in order to redeem him despite there being no canon basis 4 it #like. we know regulus was a death eater 'it wasnt his decision he was forced into it!' we know regulus was less handsome than sirius 'no he #wasnt he was also super hot!' do you see what you're doing. you're losing me.

ngl some of these posts about "cant find 100% cotton yarn!" i can think of at least one Brand of yarn that is like. 100% cotton. in multiple colors. what

#toy txt post #dont get me wrong blends are everywhere and synthetics are cheap but like for now at least they do. exist #the brand is lil sugar n cream btw which im certain ive seen at michaels and joanns but i think i had ti order online #and i have a different skein of cotton thats a bit softer and nicer to touch and might be better for like. Wearables. but i cant remember #the brand or be assed to dig for the tag rn sorry #hell even one of the lily sugar n cream ones is softer than the others its like a ''denim'' one #ive even seen cotton scrubbie yarn. which. i want to get but i need to use up my other scrubbie yarn first #and idk i guess they could be lying but #u kjow #the 100% baby alpaca i mentioned in the tags of the prev post i bought from. a local shop connected to an alpaca farm selling various #alpaca products but when i went online i think the yarn comes from a different alpaca farm? i get emails from them a lot #i wanna do a project w 100% alpaca but cant justify buying more of it rn #its very soft tho #idk not to mention there seem to be like all sorts of indie dyers and yarn runs if u just. look around a little? #i found one interesting site that i got glow in the dark wool from #havent made anything yet cos idk!!! what to use it on and it was quite expensive but like!!!!! extremely cool that it exists. they also had #color changing ones and shit #they have an etsy but they also have their own site where its a bit cheaper

I just want to drop by n let u know that your signs and therefore your horoscope doesn’t take yr personality disorder into consideration. do with that what u will

#it’s all abt fundamentals. yr core #behind all the coping mechanisms and trauma responses and disorders #also ppl don’t realize how much each of the signs interact w each other based on their ruling planet #if u don’t relate to yr sun sign (the only one most ppl know) then I recommend looking into yr other signs and seeing what they all actually #mean for u. everyone has almost every sign with a different ruling planet but most ppl just think everyone is one sign and there is a set of #traits for each one and they’re often wrong. that is because u are basing every aspect of yr personality on one single sign when really #each sign reflects one or more aspects of it #for example yr moon sign rules yr emotions moods and feelings and how u are when u are most comfortable. that is one part of u and whatever #yr moon sign is is the one who’s traits apply to that area! same goes for all the other signs and ruling planets u can have one without the #other if u want it to make any sense to u #and again yr signs have no way of knowing what yr brain looks like past where the planets were when u were born. #I never related to being a leo bc they’re outgoing and attention whores and materialistic. then I realized not only is being a leo sun one #aspect of my chart and not my whole self but also that I was raised in a way that specifically made me reject a lot of those traits #so I mapped it all out and focused on fundamentals (which actually is a rlly cool way to get to know yrself and think abt how u rlly are) #for example I hate attention because of specific disorders I have. but I secretly love being taken care of and seek out attention in ways #that divert from regular “everyone look at me!” mega confidence ways #also not on either side of the is astrology real discourse I just like it cuz it’s fun and a bit of wisdom for the day I don’t let it rule m #life lol. but if u are interested or even just frustrated or think u hate astrology cuz it isn’t true for u u might just not get it yet! #it’s more complicated than it seems and much less simple than ppl first think #dens.thots

#so i survived my 1st week as a phd student. it's interesting. im not sure how i feel #the negatives are that i forgot how much stress being around people causes me. as a research assistant i was able to be on my own schedule #and go into the lab at odd hours so i never had to see anyone. but now im in classes and teaching and have a shared office #classes are tolerable stress wise so long as im sitting on an edge. i only feel a lil like im dying. teaching makes nauseous beforehand. #which is odd bc im not really worried while im doing it or before im doing it. i thibk its just that i have to interact ans i kno im a #mediocre teacher bc id rather die than do the back and forth of asking questions and u should teach interactively #i like to break down complex idea and help people with problems but i was not build to teach in classrooms. i get knocked off points when #i give class presentations bc i cant make eye contact lol. so that'll b annoying this semester. and its just so hard to function in an #office space. idk its weird like i dont even feel it that much while im there its just like a flashing *i need to leave* alarm. and then #when im alone its like a physical weight off of me. and i cant tell if thats what's draining my energy or if ive just cycled into a low #energy lul bc im just like. i wanna sleep. and for me thats always a sign that somethings wrong. i dont feel that bad mood wise but its #like there's a rock weighing me down as im trying to tread water. so those r the big negatives. the positives r that #i do enjoy being back in school. i love the structure of it. but im also self destructive abt structure so well see how it goes. but my #lab mates seem nice as does my advisor. i feel a bit bad bc ill have to learn genome stuff from the ground up. and today i was trying to #convey ideas to him like an insane person. bc i dont have enough background to talk fluidly abt my prospective project and i have a picture #of what i mean but not all the details. hopefully i made some sense. i think the idea is cool. and thats the other really positive thing. #the papers i have to read associated with this project r waaaaaaaaaay more interesting than anything i ever had to read for my masters. like #they're the types of papers i would force other ppl to read for lab meetings. so im optimistic abt not hating it by the end haha #yay for being excited abt science. but i guess thats the other thing i feel bad abt. like im interested but haven't read a lot to prep bc #i cant express how difficult dyslexia makes things but also i cant control how interested in things i get so i bassically banned myself #from reading papers im actually interested in like 3 years ago bc in retrospect i was prob going thru a hypomanic episode #and i was like reading papers abt microbes in Antarctica all day and not working on my stuff. and i just remember walking into the lab at #like 5am to trasfer alage with tears streaming down my face bc i was just like. i cant have this nice thing and b functional. it has to stop #so i just created this weird barrier in my mind where im not allowed to read fun papers. so its odd to b reading them now for work. its odd #also i was walking to my office worring abt things and then i saw some moss growinf around the edge of the sidewalk and it made me wanna cry #bc i am an extremely normal individual. i have normal feelings abt photosynthesis. but anyway yeah. its been interesting #hopefully ill stay optimistic. next week we have a orientation for new grad students. and i might have to drive like an hr away. hate that #the driving i mean. not the orientation. that should b fun #unrelated

im ngl the way some ppl on this site talk abt christianity is really baffling

#myposts #text of kin #my whole life ive been an atheist #with a strongly ex-catholic anti-theist mother and even she would disagree w some of the shit said abt christians on here #nevermind that like. im pretty sure people will just straight up lie about stuff thats a 'christian thing' or not #idk i dont actually think christianity is the bogeyman its made out to be #and i really struggle to think that im someone who at all FAIR to christians. trust me that i hate christians #its just like. comically absurd at a certain point #are you absolutely sure that its an exclusively christian thing to do squints social control? they invented and are the only ppl to do that? #youre sure? alright well if youre sure! #and im also completely sidestepping like. possible critiques to be offered to other religious structures. like even without saying #'hey its not the only bad one'. its literally gotten to a point just w christianity that some of u sound insane #honestly id love to see more. well frankly interesting discussions abt christianity happening on here #where is the investigation of christianitys role in colonialism? the discussion of the systemic violence its many forms have legitimized #it honestly seem like this site is hung up on #the role christianity plays in american politics and making that the end all be all #of both american politics and the effects christianity has had on the world--even just the political world #perhaps its naive of me to think this website would care abt anywhere other than american nevermind nonwestern contexts but. idk #it smacks to me of....ex christians particularly white ones making themselves into the only and biggest victims of it #which i would know because. again. anti-theist ex-catholic mother ive lived my whole life with. #idk how true that is. thats what it reads like to me largely #but i recognize for it to even read that way to me its getting parsed through my experience w my mom so thats a bias i know i have #all this to say. damn i hate christians but some of yall hate christians so much i think youve just started lying #and then also centering your particular experience of christians in an american WASP context #rather than discussing like any other (worse) form of harm christianity has been party to in say the global south

im going to finish magireco maybe bc its only like a dozen episodes left but ngl i might watch an additional show inbetween this and xy bc. im sorry gamers i cant say i like it all that much

#i WANTED to like it so bad i kept telling myself to not expect it to be as good as the original esp bc its an adaptation of a gacha #but i just dont find any of it or its new rules compelling at all #and the elements i do like are barely in the show like the little kyubey and the original five #and even then im a little afraid of how theyre gonna adapt them here #it just doesnt have much of what i loved abt the original series in it #echoed voice #the season 1 finale was the nail in the coffin tho oh my god the witch reveal reaction was god awful #i know we havent seen the other girls reactions besides tsureno and iroha and i guess yachiyo #and while tsurenos is good the other two are just???? #iroha u were just told u were manipulated into this system to be converted into energy and a monster #and this entire time youve been fighting the tortured souls of other magical girls and the system is primed to ensure that you WILL die #or become a witch eventually #please show more fucking reaction to that than ‘’um okay….. where’s ui tho’’ #like. she seemed upset in the dream yes but after that she says the ui line and then just has no drawbacks anymore #bc i guess the show doesnt have a counterargument against ‘’hey lets make life for magical girls easier and dont kill them’’ #and having her be rightfully devastated and questioning the system would make the magias look good #again. ill give season 2 a chance and ill look for the stuff i like. ik homuras coming back #but season 1 left a really bad impression on me ugh #unless they turn around and do something interesting w the magias beyond ‘’ewwww theyre bad bc theyre…. bad!!!’’ #and make iroha a more compelling protagonist i dont really have high hopes

Ma’alefa’ak isn’t even in character!! From what we’ve seen earlier in s4 he genuinely is interested in ending #the systemic oppression of white martians. and I frankly disagree that it makes sense for him to actually have just been interested in #nothing more than granting himself domineering leadership #which is what this alliance with darkseid seems to suggest? That all he cares about is personal power? #I really don’t think he would turn in other resistance group members #but even if I’m wrong and it IS somehow in character #Then that character is just absolutely disgusting from a meta standpoint #All writing is produced within a larger context. #The larger context here is real life ‘extremist’ left wing political movements; specifically anti-racist (and to an extent anti-capitalist) #ones. and for a bunch of white middle class writers to be writing this shit? makes me sick to my stomach #it’s the MCU problem of making your hero protagonist (yknow. the one who’s usually the one you’re meant to root for and usually supposed to #be some marker of morality in the show so u know when the antagonists are right vs wrong—it all depends on when they agree or disagree with #the protags.) ‘agree with your fight but not your methods’ and inexplicably make these extremist activists/leaders do morally reprehensible #bullshit alongside the good stuff #so you can be like ‘oh yeah this person was totally right about the racism but like. they also bombed a hospital full of dying children so #I cant support them 😔🥰’ #cuz believe it or not that shit seeps into real life!!! This literally results in a hesitancy to trust real life antiracist movements #and things like that #UGHHHHHH anyway I’m tired #YJ #young justice #young justice cartoon #yj cartoon #Yj s4 #yj season 4 #mine #just some thoughts
