#it's not even a revenge arc

[nessberry]

its actually genuinely pisses me off that so many ppl think he xuan should have just gotten over what shi wudu did to him just so he can be with shi qingxuan but then they hate on he xuan for wanting shi qingxuan to pick him over his brother

#can you not see the hypocrisy at all? #they love each other #but they both love their families more #i think even if shi qingxuan was given more time he still wouldn't have picked he xuan #thats okay tho #since he xuan woukd never pick shi qingxuan over his revenge #and i understand him completely #he xuan #shi qingxuan #shi wudu #beefleaf #black water arc #heaven official's blessing #tgcf

why does the pjo series have to unnecessarily villainize goddesses (hera & athena) or show them as silly ladies (aphrodite & demeter) BUT posiedon and apollo are somehow shown as the coolest/most likeable gods, even though arguably, they're right after zeus on terms of corruption?

ares shown as the worst god after zeus and hera amuses me. last time i checked, he was the patron god of amazons and literally killed a man for attempting to rape his daughter but guess who cursed women for rejection? apollo. guess who raped women when they said no (aside from zeus)? posiedon.

#all the gods and goddesses in the greek mythology are flawed in their own way #it doesn't make sense why the books were so unnecessarily biased towards certain gods? #it bothers me specifically that hera and athena are SO unnecessarily painted as villains #while posiedon is ‘cool’ dad ‘great’ lover ‘decent’ god ‘reasonable’ than other olympians #i get it he's the main character's father of a children's fantasy novel so rick painted him in a good light #but my man? then why are you painting other gods who are arguably just as bad as him as WORSE #shut up i feel strongly about it #i love the percy jackson series #but i hate how the gods are portrayed #is trials of apollo a good series? yes #does it make sense why he's shown as a human-like god with redemption arc #while hera is reduced to ‘evil stepmom’ and ‘bitch to annabeth’ even if apollo is JUST as bad as her? #no #and aphrodite is not some ‘silly fangirl’ whose personality revolves around shipping percabeth #she is powerful terrifying and cunning who can bestow some of worst revenge on those who offend her #demeter is not a silly crop goddess #her love for her daughter was so strong it almost ended the world and destroyed mankind #shes in charge of harvest and agriculture without her humanity will starve to death #shes just as powerful as the big-3 or at least she should be #posiedon is not this cool perfect rational god #medusa would disagree demeter would disagree pasiphae would disagree odysseus would disagree #apollo cursed women posiedon raped yet ares killed a rapist BUT nooo let's make ares the bad one #percy jackson #rr crit #greek mythology #heroes of olympus #trials of apollo

BingQiu’s child would be a nightmare to parent. Very cute, a natural manipulator having learned from Binghe all his life, very clever, and when anyone dares to push back he’s a sarcastic bitchy little terror.

#SVSSS #BingQiu #oh boy when he decides to date #(some demon princess who thinks holding a sword to his throat is courtship behavior) #(princess there can be gender-neutral if you want) #he’s gonna have a whole courtcase and even a tune to hum #under his breath #Binghe: let’s just throw him in the Luo river #SQQ *gesturing for Binghe to massage his forehead*: No #(that would set up a revenge arc binghe do you want to die) #shitpost

getting real worried about this one lads

#i absolutely trust the crew to give him a good arc #im just very attached (aren't we all?) #nyxtalks #izzy hands #israel hands #ofmd #im mostly just worried we might get a 'gets worse before it gets better' character arc and s2 is gonna be him doing a bunch of shit #(and the antis going 'hahaha we told you so!!!) #personally i feel like izzy could Have that turning point now; with the situation on the revenge theres great opportunities for him to #ally himself with the rest of the crew instead of leaning into the krakens shit #idk like i said. i trust the crew im pretty confident we are getting izzy redemption at some point in the plan i just personally hope it #starts soon #(honestly this is just a worry in general even if he gets a great arc. i love the backstories to izzy we have built as a community and i #guess i worry that canon could just. fall short idk.)

A tragic parallel between the F.O.L orphanage and Baron Kelvin’s workhouse

I wanted to point out that it’s interesting “the oldest siblings” of each group actually aren’t the ones getting their “fledging day” first. 

In fact, as we could see with this chapter, little Ginny who was scared of horses, something unbefitting of her aptitude as a Corgi, is the one who got a sudden “fledging day”. 

Thanks to this chapter, it’s also pretty obvious that “the oldest siblings” know where the other kids are sent, as indicated by Oliver’s and Artie’s scared reactions in this chapter.

The “oldest siblings” being aware of what’s going on also explains why Oliver sort of “protected” Daniel, when he conveyed to the adults that he didn’t fit in the Collie group. 

In other words, when the operation needs a kid (for blood or some other reason), it’s those who don’t fit in who get taken first so, Ginny aside, we should also definitely worry about Daniel but also Nick from the Pomeranian group.

Focusing a little bit on Artie, a Mastiff, who brought Daniel, a Collie, to his class and Oliver who interrupted Daniel talking about “fledging day”, it seems the “oldest siblings” are trying as hard as they can to protect the other kids from meeting a terrible fate. This also explains Theo’s helpful attitude with Ginny in the last chapter: 

However, despite Theo’s best efforts, the adults noticed that Ginny was not living up to her aptitudes as a Corgi and she’s now about to reach “fledging day”. ://

The “oldest siblings” also definitely know that Doll is probably the one who’s watching over the whole orphanage operation, as indicated by their reactions when Snake introduced himself as Doll’s acquaintance...

...And it’s very interesting, because I think it creates a parallel with Doll’s own situation, back when she was alive. 

After all, as a kid from Kelvin’s workhouse, when she joined Noah’s Ark, Doll began abducting kids with Joker and co to satisfy Kelvin’s madness but also to protect their younger siblings back at the orphanage. However, this was all for naught, as Kelvin had already killed those kids for his mad project, something our!Ciel discovered at the end of the arc.

At F.O.L orphanage, the “oldest siblings” act similarly: they were probably told the sad truth behind this orphanage and they have no other way but to go along with it in order to survive, which makes them accomplices, while still trying as hard as they can to protect many of their fellow “siblings” so that they won’t get to their “fledging day” too quickly. 

It’s tragic really and, since they think Snake and Finny are Doll’s friends, they probably won’t trust them to help. :/ 

The single silver ray of hope I have is that Theo reminds Finny of someone: could be either twins or it could be a kid from Finny’s own tragic past from that scientific lab in Germany and, in that case, if Theo can eventually trust Finny, then maybe Finny and Snake will learn the truth and help save all these kids.

It would also make a beautiful parallel with Theo reading Fenian cycle... 

...since our Finny is indeed stronger than many others and could definitely help saving them. 

TL;DR Doll probably pushed the “oldest siblings” into the same situation that she experienced when she was alive: become accomplices in order to survive but also to protect innocent children, which is exactly how she lost herself and died. Here’s to hoping that Snake (who wasn’t a part of Noah’s Ark abduction ring) and Finny (who’s very strong) will be able to realize the truth in time, in order to help these children.

The MK pipeline from “You really think the universe wants anything, from any of us?” to “Until I know what I am, what my destiny is? I can’t risk hurting the people I care about—the ones I have left.” is actually fucking wild.

Like, the place his character starts is believing that he couldn’t possibly be *anything* special or be the one to make that positive impact on the world. Then we have our beloved “to pain” scene, and MK ruminates on the Lady Bone Demon’s words—after all, his greatest power is self reflection. So we go from MK hoping to use his position “for good” to believing he’s “the one always getting the world in trouble”. Whatever his role in the story is, it always negative. It’s not enough or too much. It’s the universe not wanting anything or wanting him to bring about total suffering.

#MK's arc of self acceptance keeps going back and forth and back and forth and it is so JUICY #Fucking love the trigram furnace scene I owe that scene my life #The writers are so evil. ''Let's have MK learn to love himself a little in Revenge of the Spider Queen. Then FUCK YOU. MINOR SCALE'' #LBD really did irreparable damage to MK's perception of himself. #''Picked the wrong successor'' was the worst thing you could have done. #AND IT WASN'T EVEN TRUE #MK when will you learn that your doubts are unfounded and your self-hatred is lying to you #Your friends love you. No one knows what they're doing. Everyone causes pain by just existing. #Life must sustain itself on decay. #It's not always you baby #It's okay #lmk #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk mk #lmk s4 #lmk analysis #lmk rant

I'm enjoying Fallout 3 a little more but there’s one thing that’s extremely bothering me.

How come, in the dialogue options, I can NEVER can mention, I was FORCED to leave the vault?

I didn’t have a choice but to leave. Jonas Palmer was beaten to death in attempts to get info about my father James. The Overseer was going to have the same done to me if not WORSE.

The Lone Wanderer: "So they killed Jonas, and I'm next, is that it?"

Amata: "Yeah. It's lucky I got here ahead of them. But we can't stand here talking! You're got to get out of here!"

I understand my father didn't know this would happen. That he simply thought I wouldn't be able to leave the vault after he escaped.

But the fact I can never explain what happened when reunited with him is just so ODD!?!?!!?

I COULDN’T STAY!!!!!!!

I FEEL LIKE THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD WANT TO KNOW DAD!!!!!

WHY ARE THESE MY ONLY OPTIONS?!?!?!?!!!!!

Why give me that entire section where I had to escape the vault to avoid MURDER!!?? If they were going to back me in a corner (dialogue wise) that I would've gone after my father no matter what.

It would've made the dialogue option, "Why would you throw away the life we had?" WAY MORE INTENSE AND INTERESTING IF I COULD TELL HIM HIS ACTIONS UNINTENTIONALLY AFFECTED ME!!!

It could've been followed by a cute bonding moment where he apologizes and says while this life was never what he wanted for me he'll now help me adjust however he can.

#WHICH COULD'VE LEAD TO EVEN MORE UNIQUE DIALOGUE!!! #Accepting his offer + Being Neutral and saying you need to do this on your own + CRUELY REJECTING HIM!!! #At least Vault 112 was REALLY COOL!!!! #I had fun doing everything Stanislaus Braun wanted before reloading to an older save. #FIGURING OUT THAT MUSIC PUZZLE WAS VERY VERY FUN!!!!! #Fallout 3 #Fallout 3 Spoiler #The frustrating part is I'M ROLEPLAYING AS A CHARACTER WHO WOULD'VE GONE AFTER HER FATHER NO MATTER WHAT!!!! #But is also grieving the loss of the potential life she could've had inside the vault and her lack of choice. #How she HAD to leave because of her Fathers actions and is now feeling lost in this new world he never prepared her for. #MAJOR SPOILER -> #My only guess is it's because dad dies later on RIP I knew he died but I thought it was dependent on your karma. #SO IMAGINE MY SURPRISE!!! I really thought he was going to live in my route. #Writing my The Lone Wanderer the biggest revenge arc!! #Where she has to not betray herself and her morals in the process of getting revenge. #Long Text #Long Post #MaddyPlaysFallout3

Also I've said this a bunch of times but I'm just... c!puffy's reaction to her friends betraying her and slaughtering her son in front of her is immediately labeled as a villain arc by the fandom. Coupled with one of her next streams being titled 'from mother to monster' even though... she never really ends up doing anything worse than being a dick to c!Ponk a couple times later. I honestly think now that it was never meant to be a 'villain arc' or at least I hope not, but instead how Puffy percieved herself after the banquet, and after her hero complex got wounded. Her post banquet ranting is more of an angry, traumatized and grieving parent venting than some epic plotting revenge girlboss moment. Even if the fansong made about that was so fucking cool.

Seriously though... c!Puffy my girl. You have so many unfinished plotlines and shunted narrative potential and I love you please take a nap ma'am.

#dream smp #dsmp #c!puffy #captain puffy #red banquet #egg arc #egg lore #dsmp lore #dsmp lore analysis #seriously that song is so good but it fits mapleshade better than it does puffy as a 'taking revenge' song lmao #even though i'm usually pro women being evil I'm actually glad puffy never had a full blown 'villain arc' #because her going from trying her best even if its kind of a shitty job and being well meaning #to cynical shaded jerk who isolates herself from others to avoid feeling anymore pain is more realistic to me than #oh she's evil now lmao shes gonna hunt the eggpire down slasher movie style #Youtube
