what liza weil did as paris geller in gilmore girls needs to be studied like every single thing she does is absolutely perfect 😭

we need to defend a protagonist’s right to suck ass and be boring and do everything wrong

#LISTEN. #i once saw a post claiming that [redacted] isn’t the protagonist because ??????? Who knows???? #he’s not the most charming i guess?? #and it’s like. that is LITERALLY not how that works… #you can’t just Decide that someone isn’t the protagonist because you don’t like them #HE’S LITERALLY THE POV CHARACTER LIKE WHAT THE FUCK #LET THIS MAN SUCK AND FAIL AND CRY AND BE THE PROTAGONIST #(also for the record - those are his best features imo - everyone else is just mean) #people will really see a depressed and traumatized man and go ‘wow he’s so boring’ #because they are fools and understand nothing #anyway. #[redacted] is my lame ass boyfriend and if everybody doesn’t clap i’m blowing the whole building up

fuck radiosilence/radiostatic fans fucking ruin me with the extremely relatable aroace perspective in their creative works. I don’t think I would have ever predicted genuinely getting emotional over some guy with a screen face and a guy with a fucked haircut. This is so awful why are you guys some of the most talented writers I have ever seen

How am I supposed to sleep and move on with my life after reading an aroace character realize they are different and it’s not common and find themselves mourning for that connection while detesting it outright? Fucks sake just gut me instead it would hurt less than this

#I’m starting to think most of you guys are aroace too because why is this soooo ?? #ITS SO REAL AND FOR WHAT #I came for a good fun time why am I crying and mourning something I cannot get myself to enjoy #I love you angst writers mwuah <3 #luca textpost #radiosilence #radiostatic #it’s so refreshing to have that welcoming understanding in a fandom as someone who identifies with it #and also have it not be so disingenuous bc the characters are mostly always in character and are assholes as a result #genuinely it’s so fucking good what the hell

“I see the Amyrlin Seat, and she’s wearing full regalia, and… She’s going to be your downfall” is hitting a little too much right now.

#god. god!!! #he’s just so. one of the most characters of all time #I already loved him so much and then season 2 changed me #even with him [REDACTED] I’m still so so happy with what we got and I can’t believe it’s all canon #I’m so fucking happy that he was able to be loved #he got to be accepted. he got to be a part of the crew. #he got to cry and smile and be held and be loved and dance and sing and wear makeup #and feel beautiful. and be beautiful. and be so brave. #he went through a suicide attempt and came out of it and became healthier than he had been in years #possibly ever. #he’s so dear to me I love him so so much #izzy hands #ofmd #tw suicide mention #internally crying over him today I can’t handle it #he makes my heart ache. but warmly.

when i was young, my brother taught me many skills. he always said it's good to be a jack of all trades. if i had more skills, even if he and our parents passed away, i'd still be able to support myself. // so the living must live well. whether alive or not, everyone's life has it's own meaning. some people's deaths are lighter than a feather, while some people's have greater weight than a mountain. {war of faith episode 11}

#wang yibo #war of faith #wei ruolai #accio victuuri edit #accio victuuri gifs #i really like what li qin’s character said here i wanna cry T.T #i’m bummed they didn’t put more wei ruolai eating footage lol cause i would love that 😂😂😂😂 #war of faith spoilers #war of faith episode 11

ok but the thought of the code actually glitching to break Etoiles armor hits hard though. these monsters are literally made up of code, they can glitch appearances, glitch items - of course they glitched his armor.

besides that, it's an ultimate blow to his character.

he's upheld his expectations as the islands greatest warrior, their defender. with this comes not just that responsibility, but a sort of respect for who/what he's been fighting off. the codes he's grown so used to. if he were to ever lose, he'd expect it to be from exhaustion. from being physically unable to lift himself up and fight anymore, because there would be no other way he would not stand and fight - but he loses without being given a chance to win. the code messes with Etoiles’ own player coding to unnaturally break his armor, giving a dirty death to someone who fights with duty and honor.

it wasn't fair, and that's the entire point, it was never going to be fair. like how they psychologically fucked with him using fake Pomme before, and almost won - this was never a fight to see who could win. it was a fight to ensure that he would lose. he’s reminded of something important - that he can bleed, and he can die.

this island doesn't play fair, and he can't shoulder the weight of the world on his own. a single shield will never be enough to protect a whole village. and now he's lost the actual shield, the one thing he could use to protect them all.

the loss leaves him without protection, both feeling guilty failing as the guardian of the island, and unsatisfied, because how can he say he truly got a chance to beat the challenge? there is no satisfaction in this loss, no way to come to terms with his failure, because it wasn’t done on an even playing field.

it’s hardly a consolation, knowing his loss was unnatural, unfair, because it’s a loss he could not afford. not only did he lose the shield, but he learned that there are moves that are unfair and unnatural that he can’t fight against. how’s he meant to fight something that can influence his own coding, especially without the shield that gave him the chance to fight in the first place? how’s he meant to protect the island, when he can’t protect himself?

15-1, G fuckin G

#looking directly at my ‘etoiles is a shield’ analysis. breaks down into tears screaming crying throwing up #I’m never falling asleep during an etoiles stream again btw. last time I did and woke up he got the code sword. this time he lost the shield #I’m gonna have to watch the full fight and not just clips on twt and might add more after depending on what I see but fuck man #it wasn’t admins cheating just to give him a loss. it was codes cheating to give him a loss. it was unfair and cheap and entirely done #because of that. a reminder that the island does not play fair. maybe a reminder they can’t fight alone or smth #idk I’m fucked up about it #I can’t believe he lost #mcyt #qsmp #etoiles #q!etoiles #character analysis #z speaks

The urge to fill the ToA tag of Ao3 with fics sharing similar tropes and characterization as the HoO fics I read in 2016 on fanfiction.net grows stronger every day.

#we have so much good ToA fic I think it’s time for some absolutely trashy ToA fic to balance it out #I’m talking miscommunication for no reason #time travel for no reason #cheating??? for no reason?? #authors who completely hate one character so they bash them the whole fic #characters watching other characters memories and everyone crying about it #(I’m pretty sure there is a ToA fic of that but it’s actually good so it doesn’t count( #CONFRONTATION SCENES WHERE THE SAD CHARACTER GETS TO BE LIKE “now you know what my life is really like #and everyone else goes “we’re so sorry … we had no idea you suffered this much… we’re horrible friends…” #can you tell Leo was my favorite character before Apollo #trials of apollo #sunny speaks #heroes of Olympus

hey danny phandom. i gotta tell you about this. you need to hear about it. because what are the odds my two longest-lasting hyperfixations collide like this.

JRWI is an absurdly powerful D&D podcast starring Slimecicle, BizlyChannel, GrizzlyPlays, and Condifiction. They are currently running two TTRPGs: Riptide, which is set in a pirate-themed ocean world called Mana and run in D&D 5E, and Prime Defenders, a futuristic teen superhero campaign set in the world of Prime and run in Mutants & Masterminds. Riptide is their free campaign (located here), and Prime Defenders is their Patreon-exclusive campaign.

Why am I telling you this? Because Prime Defenders features a character named William Wisp, played by Charlie Slimecicle, who was loosely inspired by Danny Phantom. William’s hero name is the Wisperer, and he has ghost powers granted to him by the fact that he fell off a cliff and fucking died at the ripe age of 16 and because the will-o’-the-wisps have taken a liking to him. He even has a white-haired ghost form that he can switch into, even if he doesn’t like to do so.

And I’m also telling you this because who did the Game Master, BizlyChannel, call up for the season 2 finale to do a speech for William during his lowest point yet? David Kaufman himself. As Danny fucking Phantom.

#danny phantom #tayscreams #danny fenton #you guys got to hear about this and you guys have got to see the clip #when i tell you i started crying. i’m being serious #because WHAT are the odds i go from danny phantom #my LONGEST hyperfixx to date. coming up on 10 years here #to jrwi—and a patreon campaign with a character INSPIRED by danny phantom—without EVER knowing about that character before i got into it #and then to two years later be watching an episode and hear THE VOICE ACTOR OF DANNY PHANTOM HIMSELF #do you guys see why i might be losing my mind here #anyway go watch jrwi i’m serious it’s so good #if you need help finding where to start PM me i’m here to help #jrwi #prime defenders #william wisp #david kaufman #this is my whole personality now

anyway I’ve been on intense critical role catchup mode for the last week bc I knew Something Very Big happened and after watching like six episodes in a week I just finished c3e91 and god. I knew it would be Something Very Big and I was expecting a PC death but like. was COMPLETELY unprepared for the way in which it happened and the emotional weight of it. what a fucking character choice. what a way to go out. what a moment. holy fucking shit.

anyway yes I hope you are all prepared for the many many FCG posts I will now be reblogging.

#critical role #cr spoilers #critical role spoilers #bell’s hells #c3e91 #FCG #I’m still one episode behind but like not really cause that one just aired #I WILL catch up on that today or tomorrow #I’m off to see d20 live tonight tho! #but yeah once I am fully caught up I will join y’all in the new character speculation zone #like a lot of people. I don’t think this is a resurrection moment #I think the sacrifice and narrative and the character choice and the framing #and the stakes it lends to the whole thing #are leaning towards a permadeath #but god what a choice #what a moment #I love this show it destroys me emotionally #but goddamn #when Matt started tearing up is when I started crying tbh

> looking for a tenma siblings relationship study

> ask the op if the study is actually about the tenmas or just treating saki like an accessory to tsukasa

> they don’t understand

> pull out an illustrated diagram explaining the difference

> they laugh and say “it’s a good relationship study sir”

> click the post

> it’s treating saki like an accessory to tsukasa

#project sekai #listen I love tsukasa as I love all the wxs members but i also love saki and cannot stand u people #don’t even get me started on when people fridge saki for contrived tsukasa angst. I’ll kill you. #i could also go on a rant abt how saki is so disrespected in general by pjsk fans #& as sm1 with a (less severe) chronic illness I do not appreciate how her illness is only explored in relation to how tsukasa feels abt it #but I think I would get too frustrated #gripping ur shoulders. read the doll story again. #also if ur talking abt tsukasa’s character & don’t mention saki u have automatically failed #before any of his relationships saki is the most important like it’s not subtext it’s literally just text #did we forget the dazzling event where he finally has a breakthrough in his role bc he talked to saki. #or the main story where he’s like yea saki is literally the reason I pursued acting #or the doll event where he’s despondent bc he thinks saki is mad at him & then when honami comes to his school #his first reaction is to sprint over like WHAT HAPPENED 2 SAKI IS SHE OK (sprints home) #or saki canonically being his no.1 fan. smh. u cannot separate them. and why would u want to. they’re so funny. #+ saki saying he made her hospitalizations more bearable. picking up on his mannerisms. crying during the doll festival bc they had a fight. #the dolls being her favorite things bc of how it symbolized their bond. #the complex tenma sibling mental illness web in general makes me crazy. #saki is like I love u but I wish u wouldn’t worry abt me so much and rely on me more & then tries to hide issues to make him not worry #tsukasa is like I’m always worried abt u and I don’t want to burden u because I feel like I need to always be a rock for u #ough. love them.

[bamboozled-distress]

it’s midnight but do you ever think that the reason that there’s so much mischaracterization of nightwing among some writers and in a lot of fans is because we see dick through the lens of Bruce? Like we think he’s a little sunshine and he’s happy and he’s better than Bruce and he’s everything that justice should be and he’s the best superhero because that’s what he thinks because he knows nightwing is better than him and that dick is happier and is doing better then he ever could?

#and we forget his hidden anger and his trauma and everything factual about his character because we see what Bruce sees? #like him being happy is a mask and he’s angry he’s a perfectionist he’s flawed but we see him as the perfect superhero because we’re seeing #everything that he sees oh my god I’m gonna cry myself to sleep #nightwing #dick grayson #Batman #the batfamily #the batfam!!!! #laz.exe #bruce wayne #dc

All right, whoever’s running the angst idea machine, can you turn it off? My blorbos are gonna start rioting against me for what I’m putting them through.

#artemis fowl #dreblr #i am literally in the process of writing a new c!dream angst story featuring time traveling c!wilbur and exile #and let’s not discuss what i’m putting artemis through #i should not have custody of these characters #can’t tell if i’m gonna make the characters or my readers cry more

[se-hos]

nikolai’s first chapter is weird on paper but hoLY SHIT the audiobook is fucking wild lmfao

#god of fury #legacy of gods #reading books #ds.txt #brandon’s narrator is so calm and even and in control which makes sense given the character #and then niko’s JUST FUCKING SENDS IT AND GIVES ME WHIPLASH AND I’M PANICKING TRYING TO KEEP UP #AND ALSO FUCKING CRYING AT THE CHAPTER ITSELF AND WHAT IS HAPPENING

Obsessed with the trope of characters believing they are inhuman monsters after being told so or lied to by the world around them for so long, and eventually giving in to become the monster in retaliation.

They become devils because nobody ever gave them a choice. That is what they were condemned as from the start. They are only living up to the expectation, right? But in the end, their only ever crime was being born different.

#THIS IS THE BEST VILLAIN ARC TROPE #sorry i’m thinking about bloodborne’s themes of inhumanity again and how certain characters are clearly affected #it works so well with beasts/vilebloods/gods and even other humans the “righteous” deem lesser #like they do something wrong and it’s not because they made a mistake it’s because they were inherently crooked #that’s what everyone else decided #when it’s so clear that everyone is capable of evil *especially* the self-righteous ones #*ugly crying* #writing stuff #fiction tropes #CrowNotes

Crying about mao mao and how I’m never going to see that incredibly traumatised cat again
