my eyes start twitching every time i see someone say that Batman recruited jason to keep him from becoming a criminal when it was actually because an untrained, essentially unhomed (since the people he was trying to fight were from his new living situation, and by getting these people caught, he would once again be homeless), and tiny jason todd tried to stop a robbery that had nothing to do with him. batman saw jason’s strong sense of justice and that jason was a good kid in a tough situation (and batman had instantly taken a shine to jason at that point. he was just really charmed by him, and that part’s important too).

I’m cool with people making succubus/incubus/cambion OCs based off of the guide I provided. I actually didn’t expect so many people to be interested!

i think, for trauma survivors, especially those who were emotionally abused, invalidated, or gaslit, it is really important not to underestimate the significance of speaking bluntly about what happened to you. Forcing yourself not to beat around the bush, not to downplay what you went through with your words. say what happened, without any caveats, without any “but it could’ve been worse”, “but i might just be being overdramatic”, “but it wasn’t really THAT bad,” and so forth. sit with the discomfort until you can begin to let yourself realize that it WAS that bad, you WERENT being overdramatic, and even if it could’ve been worse you still didn’t deserve it. It’s almost like a form of reclamation, taking back your memories, taking back your life, even the difficult or gross parts, and refusing to let anyone change the narrative or tell you how you should feel anymore, even yourself. and it hurts and it’s scary and it feels weird and awkward and sometimes you want to convince yourself you’re lying, but i think sitting in those weird feelings and letting yourself admit that you really did go through trauma puts the power back in your hands to process things and be compassionate to yourself while you heal

chapter five, part one will be posted tonight. although it may seem a tad bit boring, it serves as the build-up (filler part, fleshed out thoughts for the characters) for part two, which will also be posted tomorrow or the day after that, with all the actions and even more angst. so watch out guys hehehe.

happy (early) christmas, hope u guys will enjoy the 13-14k word chapter tonight (that's only less than half of the chapter) and hopefully more of it tomorrow. you guys are getting real spoiled.

edit: the time has come, it is finally out.

Omg that's true!!

I'm so tired of these people saying Vi and Caitlyn's relationship is toxic, I mean literally the same thing she said Jinx and her relationship with Ekko wasn't good either and Jayce and Viktor too.

It is natural for problems and disagreements to occur in relationships, but it is not natural to think that a relationship will be peaceful and good all the time. These things only exist in Disney movies.

But apart from all that. Seriously guys hating on Vi or Caitlyn or both is way over the top. Like let's just imagine JUST IMAGINE, if Vi were male, the narrative surrounding her actions and character would change dramatically. She would likely be hailed as a "brother hero," a model of loyalty and kindness despite impossible circumstances. Her trauma, in prison, losing Vander, failing to save Jinx, and so on, would be sympathized with as a testament to her strength and determination.

Her status as the “bad sister” is undoubtedly tied to gender expectations. Women, especially older sisters, are often burdened with the role of caregiver, and are expected to be endlessly compassionate and self-sacrificing. Vi’s moments of anger, guilt, and mistakes, however, conflict with societal stereotypes of women as the natural “fixers” of emotional and familial conflicts. The fact that Vi is pigeonholed as the “bad sister” while Jinx is often seen as the tragic victim reflects deeper gender biases. Vi’s traumas and emotional wounds are ignored or minimized because she is expected to be the “strong one,” while Jinx is given sympathy and a more nuanced lens because her messiness and vulnerability fit into certain stereotypes of women who are broken or in need of saving.

It’s a frustrating double standard, and it underscores just how progressive Arcane is by refusing to fully give into those tropes. Vi’s character still shines as someone strong, flawed, and deeply human, but the criticisms she faces highlight how society treats female characters with such biases.

The misogyny is REAL and don’t think for a second that other women aren’t fully participating in that also. The amount of shit Vi gets for temporarily joining the Enforcers with Caitlyn to stop Jinx is insane. A male Vi would have been seen as a TORTURED HERO for joining up with the EVIL FORCES that took his parents away all so he could do HERO THINGS. But Vi does it? “Wah wah she joined the COPS she’s A TRAITOR THE REAL VI WOULD NEVER”. Like. Watch the show, my friends, and you will see she did what she thought was best and it was a very complex and very emotional decision for her; she hated every second of that uniform. But no, people shit on Vi and then complain like any of them could write a better show. Ugh.

And nobody would have hated a male Vi for having his love scene. Nobody. In fact, it would have been EXPECTED, but because Vi’s a woman, and a lesbian expressing her big gay love for her gorgeous gay lover, some people refuse to see her humanity and her growth as a person in that moment. I'm so tired

And the argument that we hate them because they did bad things is not true, I have seen people hate Caitlyn just because she is lesbian and one of them said if she was a straight woman I would have accepted her character on the show. Seriously this is someone who takes his criticism seriously, he forgot the story and everything in the show and focused on whether the characters are gay or straight or worse when I saw a comment from someone saying why are the main characters on the show female characters? Like is this an idiot or is he drug or what exactly? I think we should also ask, why do men always take the lead roles and when they are evil they are better, and if they are good they are also better, but if a woman comes along who is evil or wants to be evil or does just one mistake everyone hates her and she is the worst person in the world, but men are the only ones who deserve to play the role of evil and do bad things and we will sympathize with them and love them. THIS IS CRAZY!!

To understand what I'm saying more, compare Viktor's character and Caitlyn's character and you will see that Caitlyn was the character who was criticized the most even though she didn't kill anyone innocent and in the end she tried to fix things, while Viktor tried to kill all the people of Piltover and Zaun and didn't care about anyone, even his friend's pleas, he didn't care about them and Viktor thought that this was the solution but to end the conflicts between the two cities. But is there anyone who criticizes this, is there anyone who says that this is a bad act, of course not, yes you will see some people justifying it, as they did with Silco, the person who killed an entire family for control and drowned all of Zaun with shimmer and made the children work in dangerous factories, and there is not a single criticism, and people defend him even after Jinx's condition worsened, no they say that he is better than Caitlyn, my god like what the fuck!?

Then they tell you we don't hate women we don't hate gays or lesbians, just shut the fuck up, everything is clear, Arcane revealed to us that there are still people who are fanatic and traditional to the extreme who still want to see a man as the hero of the story and that all people and women should respect him even if he is evil and cruel he is always better than this bullshit, Arcane proved to us that it is possible for both sexes to appear in an excellent, strong and realistic way without insulting or belittling the other because these things are not useful and will not help in telling the story in any way.

Quick note I don't hate Jinx or Viktor and many of you who follow me know that I love Viktor very much but I will not deny the bad things he did and I am also really tired of the hypocrisy of some people and their constant criticism of other characters and characters. Just bc they say like these characters

Like I don't like Silco but have you ever seen me post every day criticizing Silco and Silco fans all the time or go to Silco fans and tell them if you like Silco then you support child labor and the drug trade and blah blah. Like they do with Caitlyn fans when one of them says he likes Caitlyn they accuse him of supporting collective punishment and corrupt governments and police brutality just because he likes a fictional character. I've never seen such stupidity and backwardness and bullshit in my life, just because I like a fictional character you think I will act like her in real life?? These people need to grow up seriously or find a job

The siblings' catchup was going great talking about Robbie's job applications and Renee returning to work soon. It was until Renee asked that question, speaking in a tone that was almost impossible to hear. "So…do you still hang out with Keon?" Now that question aggravated Robbie. "Seriously Renee?" Robbie felt his face heating up with the stupidity of his sister. Things were going well and he was able to see amends to their relationship, but bringing up Keon? He always resulted in arguments and Renee must clearly know that.

"I'll answer your question, I haven't since high school. Are you happy now?" Robbie revealed, hoping to get this over with. "He said he was getting out of Sulani. Said he was joining the military. I have no clue what that dumbshit is doing or where he is." Tension held in the air and it felt too awkward to say anything afterwards…except for an apology.

Note: Here's some context for those who don't know! Growing up, Robbie has always felt overshadowed by his sister, leading to his low confidence. So he found it hard to fit in at school and make friends. As a result, he ends up being mean to defend himself so that people wouldn't look down on him (like his sister did). That continued to the present and affected his work life with being burnt out and not getting along with coworkers. In high school he did end up making friends, one of them being Keon. Let's just say Keon was bad news and Renee knew about that. She tried to warn him to stay away from him, but he didn't listen and their relationship worsened. Judging from Robbie's reaction, it sounds like something happened 👀 Now back to the present with fixing the relationship! But there are some small issues. Robbie is mean, Renee is argumentative and so they argue a lot. Robbie doesn't want to bring up the past, but Renee wants to know the answers (that's why she a detective🫡) and address these issues. Do you agree with them?

I love tbhx giving each hero their own song/theme which tells us something about the heroes, either their personality, dreams, arc, or overall mood.

It remind me in how amazing it is for a character have a dedicated song for them. Some even sung by the actual Voice actors.

Anyways, back to why I created this post. I just found out the that TBHX opening is written from X' pov, while the visuals reflects his power. I'll be focusing on the song. I'll put my thoughts below the cut

Okay, so based on the director's (translated) tweet, the opening "Inertia" is written in X' pov. 

Here's the link of the tweet:

So..... basically, X has two themes.

The first one, New Type of Hero, showcases his confidence, carefree attitude, and hints his power. And a flex as well.

Link of the translation of the Director's comment about "New Type of Hero":

Then the second one, which the opening "Inertia", tells us probably what he thinks, believes, and strives for.

I think it is kinda cool how it reflects or is in the same situation with his double life as a hero and civilian.

One has the carefree, confident, and an in your face aura-farming flex energy that he exudes in hero form. Then the other has the dreams, thoughts, hopes, and beliefs, sung in a more quieter and personal way that fits his more mundane, but still very confident self. 

"Inertia" being the main opening fits,since the thought behind the song can represent anyone and not just X, which fits his civilian form of everyday man. It also resonates with the other top 10 hereos and not just his if you interpreted it or didn't know it is from X' pov. (Like how someone interpreted each verse/line to a specific character within the show)

"New Type of Hero" on the other hand just screams, "I'm the top/best", which you would think of someone with the title X. It's also very distinctly about his Hero form/personality. From the attitude and lyrics, which can not be applied to an everyday person or other heroes.

Two distinct sounds, both about being a hero (the grand and the mundane), just like how X has two distinct appearance (Hero and Civilian) but one goal.

Eddie being shown hugging Ravi rather than buck in this scene has me up in my feels actually.

Especially in combination with the conversation about Eddie being in the army and having been to a lot of funerals like this.

Because Ravi is a physical embodiment of bucks abandonment issues and Buck is watching on when the hug happens but not when the army stuff is talked about and that’s significant. It’s Eddie embracing bucks fear of abandonment when he’s feeling abandoned by his pseudo father and trying to live up to his last words - that the others are going to need him. So Eddie embracing Ravi is Eddie embracing Buck - having bucks back as he always has done and which we get a further representation of when they are carrying the coffin.

i sense a new stupid radblr drama arising that’s gonna divide us all for 2 months and cause us to waste more time and energy going after one another than going after patriarchy

[itsallaboutbl]

[padfootastic]

every time i read a fic where lily evans is upheld as a paragon of justice and the underdogs and the vulnerable, i die a little inside

bc,,,,are we talking ab the same gal who kept defending snape for atleast five years of hogwarts and however many before that? who overlooked his bigoted actions, even when others called it/her out on it?

ugh

(now james, on the other hand? we have such clear evidence that he fits this archetype but ofc that’s overlooked isn’t it. gonna shut up here but will take the rant into the tags)

Fanfic writer advice thats like 'use a beta/copyeditor' is just like.

I'm sorry are you volunteering to edit my fics for Grammer/commas/whatever was so egregious that you decided this needed to be a part of your comment? Do you think it's easy to

1. Write something and then

2. Find someone to willingly edit it for free in a timely manner who will catch a meaningful amount of said things

3. Resist the urge to immediately post something when I finally finish something for once?

Like damn girl you think highly of me
