#this goes for qrivers too

[whitmore]

are we excited to approach qniki with nuance

#eleanor.txt #i have the same issue with courtney whitmore that the fandom excuses a lot of her actions that should not be excused #this may shock some of you. female characters can be flawed #they will make mistakes. and do bad things #i do think half of it is jokingly #but holding women and female characters to this impossibly high standard of moral perfection and excusing their every single action #is not a great move imo #she’s going to fuck up and we need to let her and be normal about it #this goes for qrivers too #qsmp #when i start posting qniki meta and i WANT to post qniki meta. i will be tapping this sign #going to ask that everybody gets real thoughtful real quick #going to request we stop reductive ethics in female character critique. please. for me #it’s very much the same vein as (but not identical to) the reduction of her to her relationships w male characters #she’s going to be friends with some of them and you Have to be normal about it #she may even flirt with some of them! she may be in a canonical relationship at some point on the server! be regular about that #nihachu

maybe its a bit too late to say this now but i really dont like how sensitive events are being relayed to the eggs like its nothing and by people who arent their caretakers or even that close to them, at a time when all of the kids are relearning their impressions of people since they havent seen any of the adults in a long time

like on the day the eggs woke up from the medical comas and qbagi told richarlyson about qcellbit’s murder spree before even telling him that his dad was missing :/ qpac was also there for this conversation (more like an offhand, not really even given the importance, comment) and all they said about it was that qcellbit had gone crazy/insane/off the rails and that he was dangerous. richarlyson hadn’t seen any of his parents in months. just…. why was that one of the first things he was told about, while qcellbit wasn’t even THERE? qbagi even goes on later to show him pictures of the corpses and it was the first day they met….. like what’s the purpose of giving that kind of information to a child i wonder

and then again last night with qbbh telling pepito his side of the story of the time qcellbit killed qrivers in purgatory, making pepito really concerned in the process. pepito knows qrivers is pepito’s mom, and pepito has never met qcellbit. obviously learning about this instance would have NO other impact other than making pepito wary of qcellbit and thats part of pepito’s initial impressions of him now…. just why are we going around telling kids about this kind of stuff again? complex, very difficult situations that they cant possibly understand (and shouldn’t be expected to) when they’re told like fun little anecdotes lol

i just wish these situations had more weight in how they’re referred to and i wish other characters wouldn’t just Drop them on the kids like that . oh well

#i could understand the first thing w qbagi and qpac if they were concerned about richas’ safety somehow but thats. wild #its a warning in bad faith because qcell hasnt ever given them reason to believe hed hurt an egg #does this even make sense #i just feel like some of these matters shouldve been treated more carefully #its TOUGH for a kid to learn this its stressful! #qsmp #but i dont mean it in a discoursey way im just talking about it #ill add a tag if needed just lmk #kit.txt
