also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.

there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.

you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.

but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.

#like re: the last post #npd SHOULDNT mean 'youre an abusive person' #but also people who have abused people in the past can still become better people in the present #you know? #and as i metioned vaguely in that post. the way we currently treat people with NPD probably CAUSES THEM to lash out at and abuse others #if u abuse someone they lash back out at you and suddenly theres fun mutual abuse happening #so they need a way out of that cycle

anyway. cas shouldn't have explained himself when he was summoning the empty in 15.18. so when he realises what can stop billie, he really should've been like. omg. I have an idea. and dean would be like what what. and then cas would be like. dean. do you trust me? and dean's like. of— of course. what are you doing. and then cas is like. okay. *schwoop* and kisses dean silly. and dean's like. literally experiences something that is not of this earth. having a little bit of an astral projection moment. and then cas pulls back and dean's got a halo of stars like he is a cartoon bonked on his head. and he's like wg—? and cas is like. [insert some of that confession speech here bc part of what makes cas happy is also that dean knows that he's good yk?] and then he's like i love you. and dean's like. what. what. excuse me!!! THIS was your idea?? (in his head) and just uh....UH...(on the outside) and then before he can process anything. cas hears the empty and the door and he's like. I'm sorry dean and dean's like wait what wait. but he pushes dean away and then gets eaten by goo and dean's just literally sitting there like what the fuck happened no answers only questions and confusion the end thank you good night

#re: last rb about dean rewriting his memories to make cas leaving not cas leaving but cas being attacked by sth #anyway he could do that now too! or you know! it could be what happened ack-shoe-alley! #doe is talking again #spn posting #destiel stuff #OKAY so like. im just saying. no one tell that man what's happening and torture him like that

So I’m gonna say something crazy… but have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe… and hear me out… the core four group in the show about “outcasts and wierdos” ISN’T supposed to have a straight-white-able-bodied-all-american male that people from that group can easily project on to? That maybe the straight-white-male audience might have to contend with the fact that they find relatability in characters who are black, disabled, or gay? That MAYBE there isn’t supposed to be this pov character that easily fits into these conventions that they’ve been so used to seeing in popular media but that’s also kind of the point?

#re: last post about dustin and mike #mike can still be the pov chara and he can also be gay #but dustin can be the relatable straight guy and still be disabled #its funny how mike is touted as the ‘all-american’ one when the sinclair sibs are literally more vocally patriotic than mike #but the reason people dont want to see them that way is because fill in the blank #furthermore someone can find relatability with any of the party and they dont have to be exactly like them #if a straight guy find relatability in mike it doesnt make that guy gay #but if you really adamently do not want to relate to characters who are queer #black or disabled then maybe you should ask why that is #stranger things #byler #<- target audience #will byers #dustin henderson #mike wheeler #lucas sinclair

The thing about Otohan is that she had an awesome mechanical build and she served a narrative purpose in that the party lived in fear of her for nearly 60 episodes but she truly did die as she lived, with a personality replaced by frogs and murderous intent. And the thing is I suspect there's plenty of interesting stuff about there. I've been there as a DM, having built a super cool NPC with worldbuiding ties that the party simply did not give a shit about, and I think that's the same situation here.

Legend of the Peaks isn't particularly meaningful since only two party members have any recollection of the Apex War and neither show the slightest interest in the politics thereof and they haven't really been relevant to the story. We don't know why she worshiped the Raven Queen once nor what happened to make her stop while still using that symbol...and it hasn't really been relevant to the story. We don't know if the backpack came from her or was from Ludinus...but it's not really relevant to the story other than tracing the potions of possibility back through Treshi and Jiana. We don't know what specifically drove her towards the Vanguard other than lacking answers as a Ruidusborn - which may have simply been enough - but again. Not relevant. We have Liliana to represent the perspective of a Ruidusborn who went through the Omen Archive study and whose motivations warped and twisted from a place of genuine worry and fear, and we have Ludinus to represent the centuries-long architect of this entire plan (plus he can't stop monologuing about his motivations, and that is a compliment). That's plenty.

And so Otohan consistently fails the Sexy Lamp With A Gun Attached Test, and it doesn't really matter, and I'm sure there was a backstory there but there's quite literally been no reason to care about it at any point, and I think most people do not. Her entire purpose within the narrative was that of a sentient evil Jersey Barrier that ultimately had to be blown up. I'm infinitely more interested in the loot drop that resulted from her death (and obviously the emotional ramifications of FCG's sacrifice) than any of her repetitive zealot bullshit.

#sam should play an apex war veteran #having further Thoughts re c2 character creation vs. c3 here #bc like. fwiw due to the ties to jiana? i suspect if the party hadn't been able to call in the VM favor for laudna #otohan might have become rather more relevant #OR if treshi/bassuras had been paced out differently and they had to spend more time in the Paragon's Call #like again i think the campaign mostly recovered post-solstice from the slog of the 20s-40s infodumping #though the scars remain; but i think otohan's intrigue was absolutely a casualty of the issues at that time #as i think i said recently had the party gone to yios first i think that would have fixed a LOT #anyway. last hanging thread of plot from that has finally been severed thanks fcg you were a real one. rest in piss otohan #cr spoilers

ALSO the show draws a very clear line between how Ed acts when he's upset and processes his emotions and how Blackbeard acts when he's gone off the deep end.

Ed repeatedly retreats, hides himself somewhere safe, and tries to process his feelings of inadequacy and hurt. we see it when he hides in Stede's bathtub, when he hides in the blanket fort, when he leaves dinner at Mary and Anne's to curl up on the sofa under a blanket. FURTHERMORE we see Ed post-Kraken turn in s1 and in the first episodes of s2 crying alone in the captain's cabin, sighing wistfully over the wedding cake toppers, and just generally being a sad little lump of a man who is hurting

the violence Blackbeard displays is only ever in public, performative. He cuts Izzy's toe off in s1 to announce his return to this aggressive, violent persona that Izzy has demanded of him. He pushes the crew to violently raid ships and gets in Frenchie's face to intimidate him and shoots Izzy and makes Archie and Jim fight each other. and part of that is him pushing them to kill him in a way he can't bring himself to do (he always outsources the big job), but it's very important to remember that the way Ed reacts to being left by Stede and the way Blackbeard is being violent and traumatizing the crew are two different things entirely.

one is a reaction to being left by the man he loves and feeling unlovable, and the other is the direct result of being told he needs to be a monster and an extended performance of being that monster (and way of shielding himself from the threat to himself Izzy presents at the end of s1).

Ed and Stede are both men desperate to be seen and understood for who they are and not what people have told them to be. Stede tries to create a pirating environment that embraces softness and talking about your feelings, but he's still so caught up in running from himself and his problems that he has to go home and fix things with his family before he can truly live that way. Ed is suffering and feels like a monster because he's been told his only worth is being this fearsome pirate persona, and being that thing hurts, so he makes sure everyone else becomes that thing and hurts along with him.

it's not until the final episode that Ed realizes being a fearsome thing doesn't have to hurt, being capable of violence doesn't mean you are a monster, sometimes it's a thing you are (a thing you do) to protect the ones you love. you're not a dick, life's a dick; you're not your father just because you're capable of violence, you're a man who has something worth fighting for

#someone with talent for graphics make a ''when's a monster not a monster? oh when you love it'' re: ed and his own acceptance of self pls #ed teach #our flag means death #ofmd s2 #ofmd meta #look. i came to this cafe to work on my term papers and study for my final #it's not MY fault i got distracted by ofmd feelings. that was inevitable i think #lmao i like how i started this in response to several other posts i've seen in the last couple days #so it comes across as picking up mid-conversation even though the conversation is just me talking to myself for 20 minutes

like sometimes it's just it is what it is. it's not the most hopeful happy ending that most people would dream of, but i gotta accept that yeah maybe i'll struggle with this for the rest of my life, so i'll focus on doing something that makes me happy then. sometimes grief cannot be healed. sometimes things cannot be fixed. i'll carry this weight for a long time. i may never be able to put it down so i might as well make peace with it.

Happy very probable birthday to Captain Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier (1796–c. 1848)! 🧭

Captain Crozier was distinguished for devotion to his duties as an officer, zeal for the advancement of science, and for the untiring assiduity and exactness of his magnetic and other observations. The Transactions of the Royal Society, as well as the published results of the Antarctic Expedition, bear ample testimony to his diligence and ability.

— Obituary notice of the Royal Society, 1854

In conclusion we may remark, that Captain Crozier was of an amiable and cheerful disposition, and his unbending integrity and truthfulness invariably won the affection and respect of those he commanded as well as the admiration and firm friendship of all those officers under whom he had served.

— A Memoir of the Late Captain Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier, R.N., F.R.S., F.R.A.S., of H.M.S. Terror, 1859
