maybe a little corny but idrc i guess. so: maybe i'm just getting older or maybe my age/aging is totally unrelated to all this but i find that these days, now that i've grown out of being an angsty teen looking for anger and hate in every corner of the world, i find that now i am more struck by kindness, especially in fictional worlds that are harsh and demand a character let go of their kindness and inherent goodness to survive and never be taken advantage of or things like that. i like when characters are so kind that it's truly truly one of their core traits. i know it's not exactly rare, but these days... kinda feels like it. i'm always struck by characters who fight to be good and kind and still believe in fickle things like love and other people. characters whose kindness make others wary of them and draw them closer simultaneously. characters whose goodness and insanely strong (fought-for) sense of love and humanity (and i don't mean humanity like humankind as a whole; i mean a person's sense of humanity, i mean people. i mean people need people. i mean people need closeness and love and things that like that) makes others around them more likable and ... human. characters whose kindness/goodness/big big big hearts humanize everyone who gets the chance to be basked in the glow of that beauty.

#long post #i think it's ma xiuying from swbts/hwdtw yanno #hwdtw felt so ... incomplete?/wanting? because she wasn't around for so much of it and the moment she became a player again i was like Ah.#Ah this is what i needed. this is what They needed. her humanity humanizes everyone else #and it's so beautiful to see the world through the lenses of someone who is pained by others pain #and their inability to do something about it. to change it. make it better. their inability to hurt. so beautiful...#i know its not exactly rare. but i think we as a people are missing a lot of sympathy and empathy in the world today #i think thats what a lot of humankind is lacking even me sometimes without meaning to. i think its hard to be kind in a world #that fights to snuff out that goodness that i think a lot of us are born with though not all. because nothing is generally inherent i think #i think its mostly learned behavior. i think its good to know that what you want to be as a person is kind and good.#such a strong sense of ... knowing. such a rare thing to want to be these days #i cant say i want to be a good person who is kind. i think i try to be as much as possible and thats all i'll be and its okay but.#characters like that...#and moira delacroix from evocation by s. t. gibson #ah... crazy #i think even ethel cain from preacher's daughter. because even after everything she went through #she still wanted to find it in herself to forgive and let go. still believe in love and be brave enough to love and be loved.#love is good and important.#sounds corny but thats what ive learned. we need other people and we need love and we need to be kind.#ma xiuying #she who became the sun #he who drowned the world #shelley parker chan #moira delacroix #evocation #the summoner's circle #s. t. gibson #ethel cain #preacher's daughter #s4pphoiduser

nothing but respect for our troops (smut writers) but listen. i dont want to be the person to tell you this, but not every character is going to be a dom or a sub. some people. and i know this is hard to hear. but some people do have vanilla sex. and some of those people might even be The Character.

#kellan.txt #fandom #the kink fic post #editing to add the following tags:#obviously people can do whatever they want i am not the fandom police #dont like dont read. i will click out if i dont like it—you all have fun #this is mostly just an expression of a different set of priorities #where i prioritize writing/reading smut that is 'in character' per my hc/read on a character #and other people either don't have the same read or are just writing per their own preferences #no judgment is being made here im not like mad at anyone or saying anyone is doing smth wrong #eta again: turned off replies because wow. it is the fucking wild west in there huh.#final edit: i've muted notifications permanently.

some fandom disagreements are like "I see your point but I think this other aspect of the narrative is more significant," and some are like "I don't think you can read."

#and some are like #this character has traits and behaviours #that's not an error

a wandering knight, drawn to the quiet of the forest. her touch may be a blessing or a curse.

#my art #artists on tumblr #illustration #knight whose touch turns anything into plants and it can vary from subject to subject. she came to this power 'mysteriously'#the transformation is also dependent on how long contact is maintained... smiley face....#idk maybe once in a while i'll drop something like this. it's fun to think of a character while trying to banish an art block #also thanks for liking the wip of this!!!!

“…to me” is one of the most powerful disclaimers we have on here… is this character analysis accurate? debatable. but it’s real… to me.

#honestly i have never read character analysis that i felt was 100% accurate #and it shouldn’t be #it’s a transformative creative work in and of itself based on the viewer’s subjective experience with the work #To Me is especially useful for less serious things #like. this random song applies to this extremely specific and emotionally fraught situation… To Me 😌😌#you know how it is

“He would not fucking say that” except its the badly written source material so he did, in fact, say that

There are some characters where giving them therapy and cleaning them up is the fanfiction equivalent of buying antique furniture and painting it white

#if you give this character a bath and solve his issues you wont like what you find #its just a man under there

most funniest sudden deviation from a youtuber’s typical video lineup i’ve seen in recent memory

like bro imagine being SO pissed at the direction a show had taken that you have to momentarily quit spongeposting in order to talk about it for two whole hours. king shit

#pinyatalk #yes. ALL her content is spongebob. except for just that ONE video.#even tho i never watched arcane season 2 (i heard some Things about it that made me turn away from it lol) that essay was still utter PEAK #REALLY good political analysis and critique of themes and characters and such. GOD. plz watch itttt #she may be a spongepilled squarepantsmaxxer but she talks about this shit like she’s known it for yearsss #i haven’t watched the spongebob analyses yet tho. though if the arcane video was peak then all her spongebob stuff must be peak as well…#anyways here’s the videooo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAgP6V--qYM)
