i think a lot about the phrasing of this monologue. melanie could have said "it stayed because i let it" or "because i needed it" and absolved herself of some of the responsibility for her actions by framing herself as a passive participant, detached herself from her actions and emotions and agency during her time as an avatar of the slaughter, but she doesn't. she admits that it felt good to hurt people. that she enjoyed it. that she chose to let her anger out and use it to do harm when given the opportunity, that she actively made the decision to embrace it rather than resist it. that despite knowing how bad it was, a part of her still misses it, even now. misses the power it gave her over others. misses the feeling of being in control. in a story where personal agency and the lack thereof is as central as it is in the magnus archives, it's simultaneously sympathetic and sickening to hear someone candidly admit that that felt too good to want to stop, no matter the cost. it stayed because i wanted it.

#🐉 #tma #this is why melanie is one of my favorite characters. i love people who know what they did was bad but cant #honestly bring themselves to be nothing but remorseful when they know the truth

thinking about how akio sees his younger self in utena and wondering if there's any fondness there. doesn't change the horror of what he does to her obviously but i do wonder

#akio and utena #m #long ramble in the tags sorry: #the thing about akio is that he's so evil bit he's also so human #he has feelings. i just don't know what they are (if anything) toward his victims #he loves anthy at the very least i'm sure of that. even if he hates her too. just like she loves and hates him. the lines are blurry. #and i just. i have to wonder whether any of that extends to utena at all. we know anthy at times feels similarly about utena and dios #(and akio by extension.) the simultanious love and resentment. so it's not too unlikely i think. #like. even though he never had anything but bad intentions in getting close to her #i'm not sure it's possible to do everything he did and feel nothing #not that he has any meaningful amount of guilt or remorse for it. i don't think that. #and i obviously don't think he “loved” her in any of the ways she might have thought he did #but did he not care at all? did he not feel any kind of fondness or sympathy or just. idk. pity? for her? #whatever the case it wasn't enough to reconsider having her killed so you know. how much does that actually matter anyway #idk. i think about it a lot. how abusers are rarely entirely indifferent toward their victims #the role he's playing in her life is so fucked up but it IS a role he's playing and i wonder how much he you know... internalizes it? #how much does he believe the illusion of family that he invites her into? because akio DOES often buy into his own illusions. #(similarly i think it's possible that akio is fond of touga too. their mentor-protégé relationship is horrible and abusive #but that doesn't make it less real. you know? maybe real is the wrong word.) #when he talks in episode 25 about wanting utena and anthy closer that's obviously so he can continue to groom her #but is there something genuine there too? i don't know. #again. it obviously does not make anything he does better or even different. but it is interesting to think about to me. #on the other side of that coin does seeing his own past youth and naivete and desire to do good that he (maybe) once had #reflected back at him through her mean anything? #is there resentment there? that she is what he couldn't be? or more likely he just thinks that idealism is stupid. #either way it's something he wants to take from her. anyway ramble over. #i talk a lot about utena's feelings toward akio (familial vs romantic love and the way the two are intertwined in fucked up ways) #but not much the other way around. probably because utena is actually a sympathetic character whose feelings the show very clearly #wants you to analyze and think about. #which is... less true for akio i think. though he's still a complex character with complex motives. he's just harder to get a grasp on.

I'm genuinely surprised by how little dawnbreaker content there is

#maybe it's just because i haven't really looked at fanfic in a while #but a few years ago i just know there would have been a ton of dawnbreaker aus #the angst alone just makes for great fanfic material imo #maybe it's because people dont write angst as much? i see a lot of smut now lol #anyways that anecdote had me sobbing #nothing about it is nice its just a kick to the heart every page #love and deepspace zayne #love and deepspace #i really hope they add more about him to the game because its one of my favorites by far #back to what i was saying about fanfics from a few years ago #i recently went looking for some that i read years ago but every person i remembered deactivated 😭 #writers back then were brutal like they just crushed your heart with 0 remorse #whatever those people are doing i hope they're doing well ♡ #juat wanted to add that this isn't me subtly asking for dawnbreaker content lmao #i feel like it may come off that way #i just thought it was interesting! like i said i feel like a few years ago everyone would have been all about the sad stuff

so oblonger's post about the idea of everyone forgetting who hero was at all really touched one of my heart strings; so i decided to twist the idea a bit.

what if everyone remembered the adventures the two went through, but it was the partner who forgot everything?

the moment they approach the guild after what happened on temporal tower, they are immediately surrounded by their guildmates who were so worried and asked them if they are alright; but partner doesn't know 'what' had happened for such a reaction to occur. everyone speaks of this 'hero', yet they don't even remember going to this guild with one who goes by that name. in fact, this is their first time here.

at first, everyone assumed that it was denial talking. to have your best friend disappear in front of your very eyes is a fate that shouldn't be wished upon everyone. but what is the point of confronting that scenario if said best friend never existed?

the partner continues their guild training, happy and unaware but blissful as everyone is concerned for the way they are dealing with the matter at hand. but oh, they aren't stupid. far from it. hero, in partner's eyes, is nothing but a passing name. it comes and it goes, as they say. they definitely sound like a pleasant person to work with, but partner knows nobody by that name!

Gossip travels around Treasure Town, and folks all around get more concerned and sad for partner as they themselves don't know what for. duskull reminds them that he has *two* names in his bank; partner and hero. and the partner just tells him that it must've been an accident, because he knows nobody by that name! silly duskull, who is this 'hero' you speak of?

Kangaskhan patiently and kindly reminds partner of the amount of items they and hero stored here, and partner only gives her a confused look as they simply tell her that there must've been a storage mishap. Whoever this 'hero' was, they sure did store a lot more than partner could ever carry!

The Kecleon Brothers remind partner of how they and hero caught drowzee, how they and hero saved azurill! But those names ring zero bells. If anything, partner just goes 'wow, it sure is good someone came to save little azurill!', almost as if they don't even remember what kickstarted their exploration career and with what pokemon they did it alongside with. whoever this 'hero' is, they sure do sound like a pleasant person! who knows, maybe they'll ask them to join their team one day!

And it all only reaches rock bottom if the future trio were to visit partner and ask them how they are feeling, and only feel the tension rising as partner has absolutely no idea who they are. paralyzed future? betrayal? time gears? that sure sounds nice, but this is the first time they heard of all this!

Grovyle and Celebi can feel their hearts ache as they couldn't even fathom the idea of hero's whole existence and the events that they and partner got through vanishing from partner's mind, and Dusknoir only feels the guilt rising as he sees it all unfold. Scars on such a tiny body, memories and pains of what had to be done, all gone in an instant. What good is trying to reconcile when the person you've hurt the most has no idea who you are? to partner, those scars were always there. They couldn't fathom the possibility of someone like Dusknoir or Grovyle hurting them!

#everyone around you is singing tales and memories of someone you held dear to you; and yet the name that is being song means nothing to you. #hero this; hero that; just who ARE they and why is everyone feeling so remorseful for partner for not knowing? #pmd eos

“Don’t you ever think that just because we had sex, that you can say anything.” KinnPorsche (2022) : Episode 13.

#kinnporsche #vegaspete #asianlgbtqdramas #asiandramasource #* #faiza gifs #like that was the LOWEST BLOW. not even the 'you're my pet' bit. its the bit where vegas says #just bc we've had sex doesnt mean u can run ur mouth like. ya know pete thought he could FINALLY be a little more intimate with vegas. #in the sense that he could speak to him more intimately. more personally. #so what do they do instead? they HURT each other. #vegas tells pete he's nothing but a pet that should obey their owner. #and pete tells vegas he's got no remorse or regret in him hence why noone sticks around bc he's so full of ego #and all he does is hurt anyone who gets close. #like. like. they cant GET to each other so they HURT each other. #like yeah there's this WHOLE side of these 2 .... THIS WHOLE SIDE TO THEM. #they BOTH have the ability to hurt one another. BOTH of them.

Let's be honest, and I say this with full offense, Lucerys Velaryon is the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Dance of the Dragons. He is meant to be a sacrificial lamb to kick off the entire war proper. If we had gotten a full season of development with him like we did with the younger cast in Game of Thrones, I guarantee more people would've felt something. The only reason I personally feel bad is from a baseline level of empathy, because he was a child who was placed in an unwinnable situation due to his mom being completely irresponsible with him and his brothers.

However…

The comparison between Lucerys and Aemond is no contest. Love him or hate him, Aemond has an actual personality and goals when we first meet him. There's enough dimension in Aemond as a child to showcase the potential for sympathy between him and Jace at the funeral, a scene they didn't need to put in, but they did, which emphasizes his own innocence. Even before he breaks bad fully in S1E10, he's still far more compelling to watch due to the number of scenes allocated to him and his dynamic with other people.

This is where you and I are going to disagree just a bit, because Lucerys does do something in S1E07 and S1E08. He gouges out the eye of a family member and petulantly whines that he “didn’t do anything!” when confronted with the possibility of getting in trouble for it, then years later has the nerve and complete lack of sense to giggle at the person he permanently maimed only hours after his legitimacy was publicly called into question (again) and resulted in a murder. The narrative (perhaps unintentionally) glosses over these moments in favor of portraying him as good, whereas if you read between the lines, you can see that as being an oversimplification. The problem is that because S1 was truncated, secondary characters like Lucerys don’t receive screentime dedicated to portraying anything other than a single personality trait. Unfortunately, because of his role in the text and the way it was adapted for television, there was never a chance that Lucerys would be interesting.

I don't even have anything to add, this is just objectively correct.

#personal #answered #anonymous #and yeah lucerys refusing to take any responsibility or even show a hint of remorse for what he did is so galling to me #i could never care about him after that #like first of all you were in the wrong in the fight period #aemond did nothing wrong he claimed a free dragon who let him bond with her #i get why rhaena and baela were acting irrationally upset their mother died and they're young #grief makes you act weird #jace and luke had absolutely no reason to act the way they did #like it's not your fight and also again aemond literally did nothing wrong #but because he made a nasty comment after already being yelled at for doing nothing wrong y'all decide to gang up on him #with your cousins #and then this little idiot decides to take a whole knife to someone's face and refuses to ever feel bad #luke could have KILLED aemond #aemond could have DIED #not just from the immediate wound but also any issues that arose during a really long and arduous healing process #it's why fics with luke where he feels bad or contrite don't work for me #because he literally doesn't??? #he doesn't care at all #he doesn't care he almost killed a person for no reason and left them with lifelong issues as a result of his fuck up #out here kicking his feet and giggling over maiming another human being #again vhagar eating him was too easy #he should have gotten his eye poked out first anyway #literally only feel kinda bad for rhaenyra cuz i'm neutral leaning positive towards rhaenyra and losing a child hurts #luke himself can rot i feel nothing

i see a terrible azula take? instant block. i’m cleansing ✨

#if i see one one more of u guys say that omg azula did nothing wrong uwu here’s why zuko and iroh and ursa etc. are #all actually irredeemable and azula has never done a single thing wrong in her life #i will LOSE IT #azula is a victim and she is a villain. it’s what makes her story so compelling and tragic #she’s a villain! she hurt people and tried to kill her own family members with zero remorse lol like what the fuck are you talking abt #i love azula so fucking much… she’s an abuse victim and she’s also inflicted pain and suffering upon zuko and others bc of that. #it’s a fucking tragedy. it’s an explanation for her actions but it doesn’t excuse it. #also this NOT anti azula. this is frustration at the fandom. #jack talks #azula #main series

So I finished watching all of the Fear Street movies and the way they de-villified Sarah Fier was such a plot twist but the way I was IMMEDIATELY on board too like, "Ugh! Of course it was a 👹WHITE MAN👹. Go figure. 🙄"

Absolutely genius.

If there is a complaint I have about spider verse, its that I really feel like the ‘apology’ from Gwen’s dad was insanely weak. 

#spiderman across the spiderverse #Captain stacy #Gwen Stacy #Spoilers #Like I knew it was going to happen but I thought it would be vastly better then that #I expected him to make it clear he was deeply sorry and filled with nothing but remorse #for driving her away #Like bro you threatened to shoot her #And yes you did not know it was her when you did that but you still threatened to arrest her after learning her identity #And the remorse is THERE but it feels so downplayed #When it really should not if Gwen is supposed to forgive him for that

only on tumblr do you get people so absorbed in their toxic online echo chambers that they think killing animals is no big deal and that posting about incest and pedophilia and shit is “fine” because it’s all “fictional” and “fiction has no bearing on reality” and “i’m a victim of these things so it’s cool for me to ‘cope’ by consuming this content and i’m totally not normalizing and excusing its existence”

#like yeah idc how much you don't want to hear this sentence but killing animals is serial killer behavior. #a child finding enjoyment or stress relief in the torturing of helpless little lives is EXTREMELY concerning #and like no a child displaying those behaviors should not be shunned or punished like that's stupid. that's a child that needs love and HELP #what's really disturbing is nonchalantly bringing up those past killings as an adult without an ounce of remorse #because it shows that you... still do not value life. you still see those lives as 'lesser' than your own. #like what the fuck? #and fiction literally does affect reality dozens of studies show that our brains process 'fiction' the same way we process reality #idc how much you dislike the field of psychology like. bitch me too. some of the 'science' there is bullshit but guess what #sometimes science is like. real. and you can't deny it. there is a particular way that the human brain functions #we are really good at convincing ourselves that our thinking and inner processes are completely different than they really are #no amount of mental illness and trauma excuses repugnant behavior! it just doesn't. it absolves you of Nothing #you still need to take responsibility for your actions #seek help. get off the internet. get out of the circles that encourage and reward this sort of behavior.
