#shock value?

[bitacrytic]

someone needs to explain something to me

how come no one was okay with the incest in History 4: Close to You, and yet, everyone is actively shipping the incest in Kiseki: Dear to Me?

Both sets of brothers:

were raised by the same parent(s).

were not blood related

had one brother see the other as a brother while the other was clearly in love for years

had sex while one was drugged/drunk

I mean, how come? Because if H5 was sooooo bad, how come KDTM is somehow... okay?

#history 4: close to you #kiseki: dear to me #what's the real difference here? #storytelling? #shock value? #the possibility that chia wei didn't make yong jie as lovable as louis is making ai di? #or is it because ai di isn't possessive? #what? #what could be the difference? #i honestly did an answer that makes sense #PLEASE #yeah i know ep10 has yi refer to ai di as his “friend” #but it was “brothers” before #now he's changing so his words are changing

yeah you support trans people but are you normal about trans men who choose to get pregnant

#i'm not a trans guy who evr wants to get pregnant but #the amount of queer ppl and other trans people i see joke around about like #how weird mpreg or men getting pregnant is #and use it as shock value shit #is really disheartening #like damn dude! it's almost like men CAN get pregnant and there IS a lot of men who choose to get pregnant ! #they don't deserve any less respect for that #and their existence shouldn't be made into a joke #ik mpreg doesn't have a great history but like #it just weirds me out to see people treat the idea of men getting pregnant as something baffling #idk normalize it. stop treating it as some weird alien thing #my textbox #a little bit upset. sorry #discourse #pregnancy #<- for filtering

[Discord Curse AU]

This is not an infection au per se, but, it follows similar guidelines so I'm going to tag it as such. Differences are; minimized gore, existing-story relevancy, & the end result is not death.

Enantiodromia

Unable to resolve their missing Elements problem, the Mane 6 went home from the Discord Labyrinth to figure out how to continue life in Ponyville - which was fully intact, albeit still a little strange. It still rained chocolate now & then. There were extra laws to physics that broke themselves daily.

Discord's true curse, at first, was unnoticeable.

Cagey guarding of one special item from Rarity ['She gets tense at work, it's understandable.'], forgotten plans from Rainbow Dash ['She's so active, everyone forgets things, right?']. Occasionally, a fib would slip out of Applejack, but she'd shake her head, correct herself, & say it was a mistake.

Even the physical changes went mostly unnoticed ; to ponies who saw each other every day, they weren't significant enough in their gradual takeover to raise suspicion.

Nobody thought much of it until Pinkie Pie missed a pony's birthday ['She's been hiding herself away a lot lately, I wonder why?'] & one of Twilight's teleport spells failed. Not to mention the . . . unicorn horn? growing from Applejack.

Fluttershy was the first to go missing.

Ugh there's a band that plays lots of shows in my town and they have "schizo" in their band name. Nothing on any of their bios says any members are schizo-spec, or talks about the meaning behind the name at all, but they do describe themselves as "wild" and "insane". It's just so annoying honestly. I'm always checking my favorite local venue's upcoming shows and whenever I see that band name I just roll my eyes. It would be different if they used their platform to spread awareness about schizo-spec disorders, but it seems like they just use "schizo" to seem weird and crazy which is just so disappointing to see over and over again.

#schizo-spec #schizophrenia #tw sanism #in them using schizo and seeminlgy equating it with being insane for shock value

so glad the movie finally confirmed tf2 heavy and tf2 soldier as hatred`s real parents!

#bc i heard people say his features look like if heavy and soldier were mixed #i dont headcanon this thouh im joking im jokimg #also i had to draw me two wifes soldier and sgt interacting #i think hatred wouldnt react with <:( face at soldier`s head collection as i drew him but i needed that reaction for a comedic effect #the punchline is : soldier is crazy! everybody laugh. #why tf are images so frigin huge here duuuuuuuuuhhhhh #venture bros #sgt hatred #tf2 soldier the demon that lives in my head #I dont even know if the second image is funny everyone so used to soldiers heads that they have no shock value anymore

The way it healed me in a way I didn’t even know I needed healing to know that Heimdall has a son and Thor adopted a daughter... like this movie really said Heimdall and Loki live on in the love they left behind and I am sobbing

#i fully broke down when i realized this #this movie flipped iw the bird and gave their LIVES meaning #not their solely for shock value deaths #and i am forever grateful for it #tlat spoilers #heimdall #loki odinson #thor odinson #axl heimdallson #love thordottir #thor love and thunder #mcu

[yaniasogames]

sick of people calling pieces of horror too edgy for what. having horrific imagery. ur just a pussy loser

#🐻💖 #think its def the ‘horror has no value unless it’s purely psychological with little to no gore or jumpscares’ complex #horror #insert doesnt apply to shock value disclaimer blah blah blah whatever

[kentopedia]

tbh i knew gege was up to no good when he killed off nanami bc “he had no room for more development”

#after telling everyone to like him more than gojo ….. LMAO #i have had this thought for a while but now i’m like :/ ok confirmed atp #like jjk used to be good don’t get me wrong but #gege has alwyas been the ceo of killing off characters when he doesn’t know what to do with them anymore #he just wants shock value for the sake of it #if gege turns this all around i will be flabbergasted but i no longer think it will happen 😭 #and i’m just super disappointment that it all turned out this way #just my opinion btw </3

[Does civilian Bruce even know Duke is a meta? Or is he just like "My son is so chipper that he lights up every room he walks in!" And all the kids are like 👁👄👁] via anon

anon thats the cutest thing ive ever heard- i feel like bruce probably didn't know but the second after he found out he makes this joke immediately and frequently

#something happy for the civvie bruce au!! #thank you all for still sticking around despite me being slow as hell creating anything #i just think. duke! #hes great i love him also himb smile i concur #dc #terra art #bruce wayne #duke thomas #batfam #civilian bruce au #AND LET BRUCE MAKE DAD JOKES I SAY #canon bruce would too honestly #just so infrequently and with a deadpan delivery that people need to do a double take every time #and he only uses it for shock value #and general enjoyment

the way that in comics canon jason's death was based on a poll and his resurrection a random event and it's hard to reconcile all the elements.

the way that in arkham knight this story is used metaphorically and is much more coherent.

the way that his death metaphorically and not so metaphorically has to happen every time.

but also, how in arkham knight he doesn't *have to* die in order for essentially the same character arc to happen so the writers were wrong all along.

it's what strikes me about titans too, you only killed him because you think this is the important bit, but the important bit is that he is abandoned.

anyway.

#jason todd #sorry this is nothing much #just having thoughts #you don't need to kill someone and resurrect them painstakingly for them to be fucked up #there are so many more ways to traumatise them #you just wanted the shock value of killing a child #i hate this kind of callousness so much
