#it's killing the god that abused you

[incorrectsmashbrosquotes]

Me: *bolts awake at 3 AM* BALDUR'S GATE 3 AU WHERE, THROUGH DIMENSIONAL SHENANIGANS, KRATOS ENDS UP OCCUPYING THE ROLE OF TAV!

THINK OF IT! JUST THINK OF IT!

Companion: So any that's how that God/Being of incredible power ruined my life.

Kratos, noted Godslayer, planning how he's going to destroy yet another pantheon for these weird little mortals he's found himself in charge of: Tell me more.

*later*

Gale and Astarion: Becoming a God would fix me, I promise!

Kratos: *knocks their heads together like the Three Stooges* No.

His favorite companion is actually Jaheira because she's one of the only ones who knows how to shut the fuck up and he bonds with her and Minthara over shitty jokes and grunts of displeasure.

Mizora takes one look at him, recognizes that Wyll and Karlach are now hanging with THE KRATOS and hides in the depths of Avernus for the rest of the game.

He is hella distrustful of Selune when Shadowheart starts worshiping her instead of Shar but Dame Aylin seems alright so he's okay with it for now even if he's watching every statue of Selune they pass with a suspicious eye.

Lae'zel is now his daughter. He takes one look at this angry, disagreeable little murder-hobo and immediately starts carrying her around in a baby-backpack even as she tries to bite his face off like a feral racoon.

He's actually hella sympathetic towards Ketheric Thorm because... like... yeah...

His endgame is leading a crusade in Avernus to kill Zariel with Karlach, Wyll, Minthara, Dame Aylin and Isobel with him. And once Zariel is dead, Shar, Mystra, and Vlaakith are next on his list.

DO YOU SEE MY VISION?! DO YOU?! KRATOS BEING THE AWKWARD LEADER OF THESE LITTLE MORTAL FREAKS HE SEES A LITTLE BIT OF HIMSELF IN ALL OF THEM AND DECIDES TO HELP THEM WITH ALL 5 OF HIS B+ PARENTING SKILLS!

i really hate how the fandom’s excuse for jayfeather’s shitty behavior (and outright medical malpractice in certain cases. looking at the time he refused to help squilf in labour bc he couldnt be bothered and later blamed her for how bad it was) is “well the clan was ableist to him growing up, so fuck them!” ok how does that excuse him screaming at and berating the cats that didnt do any of that. or the babies.

#or ‘’well hes snarky and mean! we dont get snarky and mean characters!’’ what are you talking about everyone in this series is an asshole #im also a bit bitter bc you know if he were a she cat then he’d get tons of animations of ocs killing him #ppl (fanon and authors) really really want jay to be this underdog whos just grumpy at best #but in reality hes like. one of the head honchos in the clan. he holds a ton of power over people #sure sometimes the narrative doesnt WANT that to be the case but hes literally gods messenger boy #and is in charge of medical care #maybe im just very familiar with shitty doctors/nurses who abuse their patients and excuse it with ‘’but im stressed :(‘’ #but this character never was endearing to me even before the team switch #jayfeather is not your beaten down blorbo in a shitty retail job hes the nurse making a tiktok about how cringey pregnant patients are #also i just. really despise ‘’but theyre traumatized :(‘’ as an excuse for abusive behavior #did you ever think maybe some of his patients like twigkit were traumatized by his behavior?

In 'vis a vis' Janeway doesn't mention B'Elanna in the list of people who're worried about Tom which implies that B'Elanna didn't report the fact that "Tom" grabbed her arm, called her a disappointment and broke up with her (as Janeway definitely would have mentioned it as evidence of him acting strange if she knew about it) which makes sense on several different fronts but also makes me scream and cry loud enough to break glass.

#it reminds me of that time in 'Alice' (NOT related as vis a vis takes place seasons BEFORE 'Alice') but when B'Elanna says Tom: #'practically assaulted me' Janeway's not taking it seriously at all she says 'that doesn't sound like Tom' and I was like CAPTAIN??? DEATH? #but again that has no bearing on this in-universe bc that hasn't happened yet. REALLY I'm screaming and crying about B'Elanna's self esteem #issues which Steth literally manifested the worst case scenario of #Tom's little gesture when he gets back also goes over so well bc of this in MY mind. #Tom wanting her and Tom being with her is something B'Elanna wants regardless of how he actually acts in their relationship #(as long as it isn't abusive). He rarely puts her first without prompting or complaining BUT...he's a handsome human guy who wants her to b #his girlfriend. Ostensibly. And that's a prize you wanna hold onto. #God I love B'Elanna............ #did she tell ANYONE or did she just sit with that interaction alone??? #her not telling anyone implies that she DIDN'T go 'hey that's not like Tom! I should inform the captain of this incident!' #and that KILLS me dude...she's not like 'Something's terribly wrong with Tom or maybe that's an imposter!' she's like 'Tom said/did that to #me.' SCREAMING. SCREAMING. TOM. YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS /BAD/ WITH B'ELANNA.

y’all headcanoning poseidon as purposefully sending medusa’s head back to sender knowing gabe would open it is like. entirely missing the point of sally jackson’s character and also SO fucked up if it was poseidon?? who used medusa’s head to kill an asshole man?? like!! what the fuck! not to mention sally jackson?? ms. sally jackson? who kills her abusive husband? who on multiple occasions rejected the help of the man who is both a god and her former lover bc she wants to build her life herself—? and who does it? “if my life is to mean anything, i have to live it myself.” those are sally jackson’s words. the abuse itself was already incredibly watered down in the show and that is upsetting. to have gabe accidentally kill himself because he’s a bumbling idiot waters down her agency against her abuse and is even more so upsetting. to have not just a man but a literal god kill her husband for her is so. do you not see how that’s even worse. and then add in that god being poseidon and the method of murder is medusa’s head? i don’t even have words to articulate it, just—

no matter how you cut it, narratively you only disrespect and degrade sally when gabe’s life is taken by any hand that isn’t hers, and having that hand be poseidon’s is just wild.

#WIIIIIILD TAKE #and i don’t even think some of y’all are hearing yourselves #sally jackson herself told percy he cannot kill her abuser for her #that her life only has value if it’s in her own hands #and that was said to her CHILD who Also suffered at the hands of gabe. #can you imagine how it looks disregarding that sentiment so a literal god can save her? #the god partly responsible to blame for medusa’s fate in the first place? #sometimes depicted as her rapist? #doesn’t look good! #as a disabled woman i am all for needing to be saved #wanting to be saved #not feeling shame in needing help #but sally jackson is not only Not one of those people #but someone who shaped so much of her identity around saving herself #how dare the show take it from her. #and for fans to rub salt in the wound? #i know y’all don’t mean it like that that’s why i’m not angry #but i want y’all to rly consider what you’re saying #pjo show crit #pjo show #pjo fandom #percy jackson #sally jackson #poseidon pjo #medusa pjo #ris raves #gabe ugliano

You guys don’t UNDERSTAND how cool Su Daji x Erlang Shen is

They’re what could have been.

But she had to die because otherwise Erlang would have kept following Heaven’s orders blindly. It took seeing her death for him to realize that, fuck, maybe he is a pawn for Heaven to manipulate and order around. He watched her get executed for something she was sent to do and it changed the trajectory of his fucking LIFE

ERLANG WATCHED SU DAJI DIE AND DECIDED THERE AND THEN THAT HE WOULDN’T LET HEAVEN USE HIM AS A PAWN ANYMORE LIKE BRO

And the fact that if Erlang’s sister or mother ordered him to kill Daji then he would. Because he loves no one more than he loves his mother and sister. So it wouldn’t have been endless romantic heaps of love— it would’ve been just as tragic

How more poetic can you get

#oughhhh #think pan #blindjustice #‘oh theyre like shadwpeach’ WRONG #theyre unique in that Erlang would’ve absolutely fucking HATED her but then grow to realize #shes manipulative and vindictive and opposite to his ideals and what he was taught #he’d loathe her to the CORE then want to worship her even tho hes the god between the two #she’d abuse this knowledge and use it to her advantage #and then feel some type of way when he treats her with the barest hint of kindness #BECAUSE SHES A WILD ANIMAL AND HES HELPLESSLY WATCHING HER KILL TO SURVIVE #AS ALL ANIMALS DO #HE’D LOVE HER AND HATE HER IN THE SAME BREATH #DO YOU UNDERSTAND-

man the dev notes w/ the stormshore tabernacle convo. whatever they're there for it's kind of remarkable how so much of the notes there for her are just textbook abuser stuff.

#tbd #after all the advantages I gave you -- i have the visceral skin crawl reaction its the abusive parent anthem #things that make my skin crawl bruh #it's everything I did for you #child who i groomed #I'm being so magnanimous towards you giving you time == child who i groomed #look at how merciful i am even though my first instinct is that i don't like how you didn't obey me #the dev notes of that convo genuinely make it worse boooy #which well done but also i will throw hands #dming helm pls kill her again #anyway i think it's kind of fascinating that most gods in this game show themselves as these larger than life figures but mystra? #you are seeing the person who did that to gale you are seeing that person #that person came to him as a child #like that divine separation has just not been there #esp with the build up #where she first dispatches elminster and then again when he tells you about the grant but at the end it's just her in this human figure #i genuinely feel like it deliberately strips that divine separation away & its another layer of insidiousness on her part #it's grounded in the sense of the damage she'd done to gale idk i am waffling but its just something about it is worse when it's so..wow. #idk i think in this game? i think she's not written like the other gods in this game and i think it makes her worse not more sympathetic #bg3 spoilers #abuse tw

I went into the new Night Vale episode honestly thinking they were going to pull another "what do you mean the previous episode ended on a cliffhanger no no nothing happened" and we wouldn't hear of Kevin or the Boy in at least two years.

And then the episode was titled "He is still holding a knife" XD

#welcome to night vale #welcome to night vale spoilers #night vale #night vale spoilers #wtnv #wtnv spoilers #kevin r free #kevin from desert bluffs #I CALLED IT I CALLED IT #as soon as the boy said 'i need to put it inside a body' #i knew where this was going to go #that or outright killing the smiling god #which i still think is a reasonable outcome to expect out of this whole situation #honestly? good for him. #if killing his future self is the only way for him to be free then i support him 100%. i am sad bc i love kevin but i support him. #go ahead kevin stab that trauma. i love you. #feels aside the boy mysteriously producing more and more knives was pretty hilarious #he is living my dream life #also CAN WE TALK ABOUT CECIL BEING KIND TO THE BOY AND GIVING HIM SNACKS even though the boy is very clearly threatening him? #cecil and kevin both grew up in abusive families (not to mention the rest of the abuse kevin is still suffering) #cecil is being nice to kevin's child self as much as to his own child self #he's showing him the kindness neither of them received #also 'she is trying to get him to resolve his issues WITHOUT stabbing' sjdkljsklfjkls #also i stimmed so fucking hard when carlos showed up <3 love to see cecil being a dork about his husband

I've seen a few people talk about how much smoother things would have gone for the cast if they had A Mature Conversation about things, but like. they're teenagers. Not only that, they're all gifted kid teenagers who also have Issues (except Hajime who only has the Issues). How capable do you think they are of going 'alright now boys we need to talk about your misogyny' or somesuch

#I think a part of what COULD be the tragedy of it all is on fact that they're teenagers with even less #-of a standard for what's normal than regular teenagers. #16 year old kids seeing another 16 year old kid who clearly has a history of abuse but they're like #Damn that sucks... Uh... Should I tell a teacher or #Oh right wait killing game island. Welp. #Them as adults post game looking back like god DAMN if I could go back in time and respond better #But yknow no time like the present #The fact that people like heard a single word out of Mikans mouth and did not think to intervene says sth- #-about the school they went to methinks. #Anyway. This has been a Me Talking #Ps not saying teenagers aren't capable of being good people #But being in that situation on top of all their backstory baggage I can't blame them for putting certain things on the backburner #WAIT ALSO ALSO. Have YOU ever tried to talk to a mean teenager. Jesus christ #They do not take reason trying to argue just makes them stronger.

The type of Christian who asks atheists how they don't like, murder people on the reg are so funny to me because they seem to think their religion makes them the Peak of Morality when statements like "if you don't believe in God how comes you don't do X thing" all but outright state they have no idea why shit like murder and rape is bad except that God doesn't like it lmao. Like way to admit you have no intrinsic sense of morality and need to be afraid of a higher power to be a decent person, but I promise if you're not a piece of shit it's actually very natural not to want to do heinous evil shit all the time potential punishment from a higher power or not 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

#winters ramblings #seriously its SO funny when that happens because every time its like ??? the FUCK kind of thoughts do you have #to ask HOW i resist doing evil shit all the time because i dont fear god because i dont believe in God?? #what kind of fucked up person do you haveto be to only resist killing people because of fear of a higher power?? #these are people to avoid because typically they also come with the issue of using their religion to make any action they want #perfectly Good and Moral because GOD said it its in the BIBLE whether thats true or not and like bible or no #if you have no intrinsic sense of morality i dont want to hear about atheist morality from you lmao #not that athiests lack issues i swear to god white dudes who evangelize atheism like its their new religion #have WILDLY missed the point and often suffer the same problem as the aforementioned Christians #wherein the onky thing thats ever given them any kind of pushback is the church so they decide RELIGION is horrible and bad as a whole #which isnt true religion can be a perfectly lovely amazing thing for people but that brand of atheist #doesnt seem to understand that people turned away from the church because of wide spread abuse and discrimination not because #believing in god makes you literally mentally ill like some of these fuckos act like. abelist AND shite to religious folks in one fowl swoop #so you know atheists have problems too but like they arent making laws in their beliefs images across the world so you know #temper the criticism with how influential the group actually is although richard dawkins types DID get a lot of space to spew their idiocy #like dawkims if you think youre SOOOO much smarter than christians how come you have ALL the same misogyny problems?? #youre not that smart and logical if youve decided a whole kind of person is inherently less than you buddy. in fact thats very Christian #of him actually. funny when that happens but again if you dont actually know WHY something is a problem #its very easy to say Thats Bad and then literally do the exact same thing you just condemned because when YOU do it its no longer bad #because its got YOUR flavor of fucked up morality on it now instead of being like hmm maybe Christianity isnt a problem #because it EXISTS but because a lot of people use their religion as a pointed barb to discriminate against huge swaths of people #and often the intolerance becomes a legal issue when Christians and other religious majorities shove through laws based on EXCLUSIVELY their #religions and opinions and that doesnt mean religion should be dismantled it means we ahould tell religious folk who would know what #morality was if it fucked them up the ass to shut up and figure out what morality is outside of rekigion before they start legislating about #it and whatnot. also i wish extreme opinions werent ALL the news focused on exclusively on the political right #can we platform some NORMAL well adjusted christians who are god loving AND not a bunch of wingnuts #who are two steps away from arguing thou shall not kill only applies to people they LIKE because they dont seem to understand #maybe murder is bad when EVERYONE does it not just The Bad People??!?!

[transfemyoungblood]

they should both kill themselves.

#manipulative lying ass self-aggrandizing child abuser school principals YOU NEED TO KILL YOURSELVES RIGHT NOW #on my rgu rewatch and am filled with hatred and spite #may god take all my suffering and give it to these two. amen #revolutionary girl utena #roleslaying with roman #akio ohtori #rswr bard king

it’s not even the fact that max apparently didn’t care about billy. it’s the fact they went out of their way to rub salt in the wound of everyone that actually does

#billy hargrove #harringrove #st4 #st4 spoilers #just feeling gross about it scoob idk #max not caring is so. whatever. to me. at this point #like. yeah. complicated relationships are raw and real #i understand what it's like to have a shithead older brother #but oh my god. they took it a step too far. and then they took 40 more #'you're brave maxine. much braver than your brother' #idk when it stopped being cruel to dance on the grave of an abused kid but #why are you killing him. he's already dead.

Why does everyone act like Percy being OP is so cool? It's not. It's fucking obnoxious.

"Oh, it's cool because he's so self-conscious in his own POV-" Shut up, shut up, shut up!

Percy is so obnoxiously OP. First off, his powers are water. That is quite literally it. He can use a sword, yes, but it is just a sword. A powerful and cool sword. But it is still a sword.

Take his fight with Carter in Demigods and Magicians. Gonna rant so, under the cut.

There is logically no way that Percy should have been able to beat Carter. Let's examine Carter's accomplishments:

Host of Horus, God of War.

14 yo him hosted a god in his body. A feat that almost no one was able to do because it can kill you.

14 yo him shoved a massive living being into the Duat Locker Thingy, something that logically should not be able to be done, but he pulled off.

15 yo was the Leader of All Magicians.

15 yo him killed a literal god (Admittedly, he did have help, but the bulk of the work fell to him and Sadie, who was 13.)

15 yo him became the weilder of the Godly Pharaoh's Crook and Flail. I forgot what they were called, but they were the God's Crook and Flail.

14 yo him fell in love with a girl, found out she was fake, dedicated himself until he found her real body and self, rescued her, and when she was uncomfortable, he backed the Hell off.

Reformed an over 2,000 year old system.

Has a "God form" or whatever from when he hosted Horus.

Dating the ex-Host of Ra and Nephthys.

Smart as fuck.

I cannot stress how smart this boy is.

He is winning the trivia nights.

There's more but it's been a while since I read TKC.

Anyway, how was Percy able to defeat him in a fight? Percy is a good fighter, but Carter used to be the literal God of War, and has magic.

"Percy can bloodbend-" Carter could take five minutes in the library with Cleo (Follower of Thoth) and find a way to prevent that. He could probably find a spell to put on a talisman and have Sadie charm it. Fuck, Sadie could probably do a spell that controls someone's body. I think she canonically did, but that might be a different thing.

"Percy is the best sword fighter in 300 years-" Best GREEK sword fighter in 300 years. Carter was, briefly, a God of War, plus has a God Avatar.

"Percy has water powers-" Carter can bend space and time to his will.

Anyway, I love Percy, but there was no way he could have won that fight.

Percy being as OP as he is, is annoying as fuck.

#i saw a tiktok about how we all love how op percy is #and it annoyed me so much i had to make this #sorry not sorry #not to mention that there are more than twice the amount of Percabeth fics on the tkc tag that any other ship #do you get how twisted that is??? #the poc power duo who killed gods together is less popular than an abusive relationship??? #in their own fandom tag??? #anti percy jackson #but not really #percy jackson #carter kane #the kane chronicles #kane chronicles #demigods and magicians #percy jackson and the olympians #also jason could have totally kicked his ass #call me crazy #but i'm right #powers or no #jason has been training since he was two and has the feral wolf instinct #he could kick percy 'i only train in the summers and my power depends on water' jackson's ass #heonly won because he's the main character and can't lose #plus the fans would be upset if he lost #even though it makes more sense #and percy isn't actually that attractive #ick #but he is such an ick sometimes #it seems like i hate percy #but i don't #i love his character

Looking at critique for Hazbin Hotel is half genuine shit that definitely should be up for debate and half 'Fuck Viv and the art and the meaning I forced onto this specific thing that isnt actually what the specific thing and also I felt emotion and thats obviously the shows fault I didnt understand how to stop watching something that upsets me'

This is why I stay away from Hazbin critique :3

#this post is extremely exaggerated btw #like yea hazbin ABSOLUTELY has issues like 100% agreed #but also god some of you just so obviously hate viv and it shows #i need everyone to learn that you should critique a show and its creator separately istg #yea you can hate viv and yea she has issues #but god you do need to learn that when you are critiquing the contents of hazbin you need to separate that critique from the creator and #their other works #helluva boss isnt hazbin hotel #vivziepop isnt hazbin hotel #fucking learn that #im just tired lmao. also next fucking person i see going 'angel has a complex relationship with val this is bad' i will fucking kill #actually shut the fuck up abuse victims can have complex relationships with their abusers and shouldnt be demonized for it #garlic breath #not main tagging this the hazbin fandom is like dogs and they would rip me to shreds lmao

[starlooove]

No bc fuck tim but it really really bothers me how people ignore his growth like he used to be an asshole and I’ll give tim Stans one thing: now he’s so so so stale but what I disagree with is that this staleness is bc nobody likes him like it’s in fact the exact opposite where everyone likes him so much they dont want to do anything. Even when it’s him surface level challenging Bruce it’s when everyone else is doing it too; but he’s still the backbone of the fam! Etc. and it’s so irritating bc him gaining more compassion and empathy even for people he doesn’t fw is so fun to watch and that’s why the captain boomerang thing was so out of character! (Not in a from the author way but in a tim wouldn’t do that and he and Bruce both knew it which is why it went down like it did. Same way dick killing joker was ooc; not in fanon sense but in a he would hate himself forever for this sense) and speaking of that it’s such an interesting mirror to Bruce who genuinely believes that everyone can grow vs Tim’s it doesn’t matter if they grow it’s not my decision to make like it’s the same but it’s not AND WITH CASS’ IT DOESNT MATTER IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO GROW I WONT DO IT! like ugh. And anyways even when people acknowledge it they boil it down to “Janet and Jack taught him that the capitalist pigs that they are” like no. This is who tim was. Tim was the kind of guy who’d blame a dead kid for dying. That’s ok. Also Janet and Jack? Please reread anything involving them that’s not a fic like Jack had anger issues and they were both aloof at worst like relax.

#the Jack and Janet thing is both an understatement and an exaggeration but I don’t think anyone reads enough to care #some tim stan might get all pissy and be like ‘no look this is everytime jack yelled at him and boarding schools are abusive’ to which #and its like narratively that means nothing bc the tim you made up to justify the Drake parents you made up by blowing shit out of #proportion is also made up and if all of that was abusive there’d be smth to show for it besides ur homophobic Jack #too girlboss to care but still terrible Janet bc god forbid a woman have a personality from ur fics #anyways that’s also the reason I’m ignoring the council of spiders #well two reasons #first is that was just a moment to make tim look cool and did absolutely nothing for him or his character moving on #like at all #I’d say it fucked with his previous established dislike of killing for his own reasons #and while that COULD be interesting it’s not bc they didn’t do shit with it #and fanon doesn’t do fun shit with it either #nothing about how tim in his most manic state did shit he doesn’t want to remember shit he’d HATE other ppl for #just “’remember what I did to ur base Ra’s? mess with me again and see what I do next 😼’ #like ok can you be real and genuine? #anyways I think #AND NOT IN A HATER WAY #Tim would benefit from being humbled #like genuinely I detest the world can’t move without tim running it but the idea that tim thinks that way is so good to me #and #I think next step being him realizing that’s not true would be a BIG push for his character #bc like I said tim Stans are right in the fact that he’s stale as hell rn #but that’s bc there’s nothing to say bc there’s nowhere to go! y’all want a tim action story where he shows off how badass he is reread #the Bruce quest and maybe it’ll remind you he’s not ceo lmao but anyways there’s nothing internal to say about him atp bc nobody wants to #say anything that’s not propping him up. same with Bruce! Gotham war was such a copout but it’s like ppl are saying he’s stale and it’s bc #god forbid he makes a lasting fumble. and I’m not under the illusion this is new I’m just saying it’s weird that fandoms not clocking it #anywayyys I really do like thinking about the No killing rule and how different it manifests for each perosn #like the way each distinct difference tells u so much about them #UGH ONLY SLIGHTLY RELATED BUT DUUUUUKE BEING LIKE IDGAF ABOUT GUNS LIKE UR SO REAAAL #anyways enough tim positivity for today FUCK THAT NIGGA!
