I think one of th things with soldier is that a lot of the times ppl just put him at his Maximum Everything. Maximum idiot maximum LOUD. But the thing is hes not really at 100 all of the time. Hes a very 0 to 100 type character. In the comics at least. Like i remember rereading the first comic and just sort of being fascinated by how he Is. Chill isnt really the right word but I dont know how else to explain it.

“The heart makes its own rules” what are you saying.

Anyways i think part of soldiers whole thing is that he operates in his own world on his own rules. He will say shit so casually or matter of factly but hes not always screaming it. Sometimes hes just. Saying things. With a tone that could convince you he knows what hes saying until you register the words and realize he is saying nothing sentences to you.

#Tf2 #idk. Idk. #I can’t do things with soldier for the life of me. Istruggle with him so bad. #He is second hand embarrassment: the character. You know. #I don’t even mean that in a derogatory way its just how he operates. #hes a joke character but not like a punchline just like a fucking. Aidk i dont know. #Idont think anyone knows what soldiers deal is. Not even ppl making official content about him. #as evident from the different vibe he gives in game vs older comics vs the official series. #boy why you so problems. #the clown speaks

something something cody and frankie growing up with the rescue bots who used to be slightly more mature but by the time the kids are 14 they’re the same maturity

something something them growing up and graduating high school and then college and the rescue bots are still excited for story night and cant watch horror movies without crying and gag at kissing and fight over who’s the faster rescuer

something something cece was so small to the rescue bots when she was born but in just a decade she’s almost their age mentally

something something the townspeople having the rescue bots babysit their kids and then their grandkids and they’ve barely changed

something something when chief burns eventually dies the rescue bots can barely grasp he’s actually gone because to them he had hardly lived

something something they’re so long lived as a species but so young personally that when they finally grow up everyone they grew up around will be long, long gone

#tfrb #rescue bots #transformers rescue bots #its so sad that the rescue bots are straight up children and won’t ever be real grown ups around their friends #like they might mature a little but they aren’t ever going to be adults in the humans’ lives #they’re going to watch everyone grow up and stay the same themselves #and the humans will see it coming and understand #but to the rescue bots they had so little time together #and yet the humans had learned everything so quickly #idk. idk. #im feeling sad rn #transformers #maccadams #maccadam

something something, each person in the statements fixing themselves, changing themselves, into something new, something better, and having glee in that change, narrated by the echoes of people who were once changed against their will, whose descent into inhumanity was unwilling and fought against the whole way, told to those who will either push too far until a change is forced upon them, or who will embrace it.

#2 of 3 of the first statements being willful body horror.....like there is something here #the red canary statement doesn't fall into thos category #but its still preparing those listening for whats to come #warning them to stay away #whereas the other two display how these people wanted the change. are happier for it #Jon's voice warning people away #Martin's voice inviting people to stay #idk.

Thinking about the “Careful. That’s my Father you’re speaking about, boy.” line now. Because like. Raphael is the one angel with the perspective of “god is dead/so far out of the picture and not coming back that he is functionally dead to all of us anyway” so you’d think that they wouldn’t care if Dean is an asshole about it. Or at least, that they’d care dean is being an asshole and flippant to them, an archangel deserving his respect, but maybe not so much a little blasphemy because well. God doesn’t care about even the important things, so what’s a little quip from dean winchester?

“That’s my Father.” it’s like. “That’s my Father.” He left home and never came back. He abandoned Heaven, and he abandoned Michael, and he abandoned Raphael. He left. No instructions and a world to run. And Dean Winchester is making jokes while he stands at the epicenter of a godless universe.

It’s more personal here, right? In the show, there’s God, that amorphous idea of something all-powerful that made the world and skipped out on it, and then God, the father who had some kids and went out to get milk and cigarettes and didn’t come home. Venn diagram with a lot of crossover, but what starts in this scene, I think, as talking about the former and only the former, very quickly shifts into being about the latter. Dean’s taking the grandiose, the “Who ran off and disappeared. Who left no instructions and a world to run.” and turning it into the mundane, “Daddy ran away and disappeared. He didn't happen to work for the post office, did he?”

I’m not sure where I’m going with this. Just that there’s a difference between an insult to God as God and an insult to God as the father to angels, and the way Raphael responds to the latter, the way Dean is able to rile them up by pushing that interpretation into the conversation, is interesting to me. Careful. That’s their Father you’re talking about. A deadbeat dad is still their dad.

#raphael spn #idk. dean & Raphael fascinate me. I wish they had more arguments about their terrible dads together #Raphael’s resignation versus dean Winchester’s ability to be soo soo annoying #something about how spn insists that dads must be Respected. but it also knows that they are terrible sometimes. but that it doesn’t matter. #that you respect them anyway. because they don’t need to earn it. they are your dad and that’s enough. #or maybe I’m reading too much into this and it really is that dean is just so annoying #and Raphael doesn’t want to put up with his nonsense #I mean combine it with the way they’re clearly trying to address castiel the whole time and dean keeps butting #butting in. making the divine too human to bear. castiel might hear Raphael’s words and accept how god is to them. #dean hears them and goes ‘oh! let down by your dad huh? this is my wheelhouse.’ #idk. idk. #spn #dean winchester

holy christ. this fandom is fucking exhausting about mental health and mental illness and abuse. i dont want to directly engage with people saying this stuff because i am pretty sure they wont change their minds or really listen to me, but Ed can be mentally ill and abusive/toxic (<-those aren’t necessarily interchangable but I’m going to be using both in this case).

Ed’s actions can be a result of his trauma, he can hate that he does it, it can be within his own justification a result of previous threats or negativity from others, and they can still be not okay or justified.

The majority of people who have been abusive in my life have been struggling with something. Mental illness, addiction, trauma, all of the above. Trauma and trauma reactions can lead to further abusive behavior.

When you have personality disorders or mental health issues that come with extreme cognitive distortions (everyone has cognitive distortions, but mental illnesses and trauma tend to lead to more extreme examples or more cognitive distortions than you would have otherwise), it can lead to you continuing with dangerous/manipulative behavior in a more unaware manner. Many are aware it is manipulative, though. and I suppose that’s where the distinction can be made between whether or not this is a toxic or abusive relationship. One comes with more of an intent to control, the other is more about mutually lashing out/having disproportionate emotional reactions to situations.

This post, to me, isn’t about determining whether Ed was Abusive or Toxic, but moreso about conversations around abusive behavior. The way it has been described, Ed’s behavior towards Izzy in S2 has been deliberately controlling and manipulative, as Ed has been towards the entire crew in that season. Does it matter if he’s doing it because he is spiralling and wants to push everyone to their breaking point to kill himself vs just to be a dick? Yes, to a degree. It means he likely just needs help and is capable of changing. On the other hand, no. The behavior is terrible and not justifiable, and having mental illnesses that caused it doesn’t make it suddenly not his responsibility.

I guess I’m more annoyed at the overjustification and removing Ed from his own autonomy and responsibility for his behavior than anything. There can be reasons behind why someone does something, and those reasons can be very sympathetic and understandable and make a lot of sense, it just gets to a point where people seem to be using that to excuse the behavior and remove Ed’s agency in the harm he himself has caused deliberately (even if the intention wasn’t to make people miserable but to kill himself, the goal and method through which he did it was to cause emotional and physical damage and torture to ensure this would happen, with little to no care for the wellbeing of the others.)

If people are upset about Ed’s behavior and lack of actual personal accountability for what he’s done, that’s fine. The same way that it’s fine for people to be upset about the emotional harm Izzy has done to Ed.

I know a lot of posts are not super nuanced when it comes to Ed and abusive behavior, I’m not gonna say hes iredeemable, and in fact he’s already ahead of other people who display this behavior in that he realizes he needs to change and puts in an effort to do so. He’s still sympathetic to most folks, and I personally still love him.

I also acknowledge I, like everyone else, am not immune to personal biases and lack of insight and emotional reasoning. Many folks have been having trauma reactions based on the events in the show or have had their trauma triggered or have fallen back on (understandably) emotional responses that are due to trauma. Some people have been applying their personal experiences with people that behave similarly to characters on the show to their analysis and impressions of the characters. I’m not gonna say that’s morally good or bad. It just exists and is unavoidable when you have a ton of people with trauma discussing things. But it can skew perceptions, as trauma does. so it’s just something to be aware of, because it doesn’t feel like you’re being skewed it feels either like you’re being attacked or you are more aware of/closer to/have a better understanding of the emotions and responses of the characters you are projecting onto.

I dunno. maybe I’m full of shit! Who knows! I just wanted to ramble more about this stuff bc it’s very upsetting to me (<-could be a trauma response I am not adequately handling or aware of or acknowledging) to see the way ppl have been defensive of Ed via “he’s not doing it because he wants to do it/live like this, he’s traumatized, he’s mentally ill, and Izzy pushed him into it” because those can be explanations of his actions but not justifications of his actions.

some people are very funny about kurt. “GOD, kurt’s such a stereotypical gay theater nerd. that’s SO not it. lemme change everything about him” Man, i really wouldn’t have expected a gay theater nerd in the gay theater nerd show. Absolutely Terrible.

#i jsut abdhsbhdhfjf don’t know if that’s what you should be worried about when it comes to this show either #like there’s definitely Other Things #and well. well. that’s just every character if we’re honest here #i mean sure it’s not necessarily a gay show But it definitely makes sense why kurt is the way he is #because they’re ALL like that #idk. idk. #gleeposting

i have zero interest in doing anything that might come off as a justification of that piece of shit. i hope he dies. it does scare me though that you will legitimately believe and spread the idea that idf soldiers are legally allowed to rape

#i don't want to get into this. i dont want to make it seem like i think anything about that is remotely normal #and i have zero interest in saying anything that will make it sound like this country cares about rape #however. this type of misrepresentation of facts is dangerous #btw ive seen the post a few times and idk who put it on my dash i didnt look #anyway i think we should all stop reblogging from the account that posts screenshots of tweets and calls it news #rape tw #politics cw #idk. idk.
