okay but like it means so much to me that marco genuinely had so much faith and admiration for jean, long before jean really did anything to clearly merit it. like when marco knew jean, jean was still kinda a sheltered brat, but marco saw through the bravado and recognised how much goodness there was and how much potential for leadership he had, and he loved him for it. and like, not only did marco express this to jean (so like maybe one could think that he was just exaggerating or trying to build jean up), but he tells eren about how highly he thinks of jean. like marco was out here being jean's cheerleader to possibly the least receptive person in the 104th with a smile on his face. and that's another thing!! jean makes marco smile!! the thought of jean makes marco smile like a maniac and i just-
More Ingo in Hilda style because my crossover is taking shape. But only in my head. And yall only get fragments.
The short of it is, Ingo gets thrown too far into the future, ends up in Trolberg and lives in the forest outside the wall. He’s friends with the Bellkeeper and trades with the trolls.
saw a take so fucking rancid on twitter i almost deleted the entire app from my phone jesus fucking christ
first of all ao3 is an archive site. this is like going to the library and saying "oh i dont like this" on every piece of media you find that you dislike and thinking they should be stamped with some sort of a marker just cause you didnt like it
you can always click back and leave. fic writers owe you nothing to explain themselves and their creations. if they have mistagged or miscategorized fics, then i understand, however there are report tools for that instead of yelling at the artist tbh
im not saying free works arent necessarily above criticism. but this is just. fucking wild. its common courtesy to just enjoy stuff (or fucking leave if you dont, the back button is free) and if the artist specifically asks for critiques, then give one - constructive that is, shitting all over someones work is not proper criticism, mind you
i just find it fucking wild people are treating art and archive sites as social media these days like this and everything needs to be policed and ~catered to the algorithm~ like. no. ao3 doesnt have an algorithm. you should be able to fucking tell what you like and what you dont like and steer away from that kind of content and let people fucking be with their art. they dont owe you anything (except trigger warnings i'd argue, but i know some people disagree with that as well for some reason), and imagine how much more energy you'd have if you only engaged with things you liked and spent time looking at instead of going to places where you dont enjoy yourself. let alone spending time telling other people you dont enjoy what they enjoy. what a fucking life
I think respecting trans people comes with a territory of like... just because many people will pass as cis doesn't mean that it's a great idea to use their passing as a way of legitimizing how absurd transphobia is
Transphobia isn't absurd because I "look like a [cis] man," it's because transphobia is fucking ridiculous. It would be ridiculous whether or not I passed or whether I look like a "conventional man." I use myself as an example, but ultimately, passing or appearing normative should never play into whether or not transphobia is bad.
Another thing that makes kaladin so painfully relatable is how much his mental illness hides his personality, because between depressive episodes and trauma he's this sarcastic little shit that smiles a lot at his friends and then the depression gets to him and all that disappears
