part of the reason i realllyyy don't like emmet (besides Trainwreckshipping. i can't. i really can't. it makes me so mad/uncomfortable) is that i feel like the aftermath of PLA really did some weird shit to his (fanon) personality that i do not understand. i understand if he would be very upset over the loss of his brother and wanted to find him but also i am going to put a "he would not say/do this" card on the table. idk! i just. don't. like him

I know that most of people who said that they didn't like Huntlow because it was underdeveloped are lying because is this not the same fandom that shipped Hunter and Edric before season 2 came out.

Look, I know America is absolutely fucked in a variety of ways, and I make plenty of jokes about it myself. But something rubs me the wrong way when Europeans laugh about our lack of healthcare.

man mordred's own profile in fgo literally says don't call mordred a man either but y'all really ignore that one
also the fact mordred literally psychologically tormented guinevere and forced her to marry her

RE that post it actually makes me sad that some people don’t leave long comments on fics where authors don’t reply to other comments lol. i gotta say that doesn’t factor into my decision to comment at all… like the author already wrote a whole letter to the world and if it’s making me feel something then I’m going to respond. That’s the equalizer, not any response I might get in return.

i feel like having five's mom be a butcher is such a misunderstanding of five and what his character means.
it implies that the violent, brutal actions he commits are in some way genetic/inherited, rather than cultivated after nearly five/six decades of desperate survival and manipulation. it implies that five was always going to become violent, that he had no chance at being soft or innocent because of his genetics.
and that, to me, takes away so much of the tragedy of his situation.
five doesn't want to be a killer, but he had to become one to have a chance at saving his family. he had to accept the handler's deal because if he didn't, if he refused to kill, he would be stuck in the apocalypse with no one but a mannequin to talk to and no clean water or stable food source or general quality of life.
five's brutality and willingness to kill was man-made and cultivated by the commission. sure, his already there traits helped to propel him towards this outcome, but it wasn't his first or even second choice.
depicting his mother as a butcher by itself is a betrayal of this character. but to also depict her as someone who loves this job, who has won awards for it, who takes pleasure from driving a knife through a slab of meat over and over again?
the implications of five having always enjoyed inflicting pain or of having that base instinct his entire life strips his character of agency, and makes his choice to sacrifice some of his humanity void. he didn't choose to become a killer for any higher purpose or sacrifice, but because he was always going to be that killer, because he enjoyed it.

un?popular opinion: but those 'like this to stay mutuals' thing feels so guilt trippy to me. i see them a lot on my for you page from people i don't even follow but i've always found them to be weirdly manipulative. and especially with tumblr not always showing blogs on your following dash, people are gonna miss it or they're not on for a few hours or days, they'll miss it. idk how to explain why it's manipulative but that's what my brain says and idk how accurate that is but.
but just know that if you post one of those i'm not liking it. if i didn't want to stay mutuals, i would unfollow you. i shouldn't have to like a post to prove myself to you.

Barbie movie hypothesis
Look, it’s probably going to be like 50% comedy and like 50% identity crisis and existential dread
But hmmmm I don’t like that..(not a super big fans of meta stuff unless certain specific)
But it in the trailers Barbie talk about death and stuff so what else could she be???
Barbie as a mortician
or like a plain old goth
Or a grief counselor
Let her be this super sparkly and beautiful women who love pink and is happy but who also works with the dead! Who helps people!! Let her be the “Ella Woods” of her universe!!!!
