Disliking Fictional Media

Guys... it's time we have "the talk." No, not that one. We need to talk about how disliking a character is different than disliking them as a character.

Note: before we go all pitchforks and torches, this is not me saying these are bad characters. This is me saying I don't like them. Except for Captain Marvel. I just don't like her. I think, in the MCU, she's a bad character. (I have not read her comics, nor will I. Too much money. I'm sure she is much better in Comics.)

Let's shoot off the definitions I will be using. A character (for disliking a character) is as follows: a person in a novel, play, or movie. Disliking a Character means disliking a person in a novel, play, or movie. Disliking as a Character is different. The definition of character has changed. It now is no longer a person, but their mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual.

Here are two Characters I just dislike: 1. Captain Marvel. 2. Draco Malfoy.

Here are two characters I dislike and dislike as a character. 1. Augustus (from the book Citadel by C.M. Alongi) 2. Lucius Malfoy.

Here are two characters I like, while disliking them as a character. 1. Loki (specifically from the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series) and 2. Luke Castellan (from Percy Jackson and the Olympians).

Let's start with the first two. Draco Sucks (as a person). He's rude, vindictive, and mostly just a jerk. Captain Marvel is a Nepo Baby who had *everything* handed to her and why is she smug? Because she did the right thing (stopping an extinction level genocide) to break through societal expectations. A.K.A. I don't like how they act.

Next two. Augustus is an evil motherfucker who deserves every single warcrime on earth to happen specifically to him. I'm going to leave it at that, go read the book, it will show you exactly what I mean. Lucius Malfoy. He's a wizard nazi. I don't need to explain myself here.

And finally, the last two. Loki is well... Loki. Norse Mythologies bad guy, fluid as water, stiff as a snake, morally ambiguous. He literally has a human he mothered, and well... he almost started Ragnarok but he was too much of an insecure bitch to start it (in the books). Now we have Luke Castellan. Morally, he is kind of in the right. He's competing directly with Magneto for the "I JUST WANT PEACE AND SAFETY FOR MY PEOPLE" award, but like Magneto, goes about it the completely wrong way. Also, He was attracted to Annabeth. Alright, I think that's done. Luke is a cool character. I like him. Until we find about him *as a character* and he fucking sucks. He's a backstabbing traitor with a god complex and a grudge he refuses to let go.

Also, It's important to note that characters can change from Movie to Movie. Like Wanda was an exceptional character in WandaVision. Loved her. In MoM? She sucked. Her character had been torn to shreds. She went from a grieving mother trying to do what's not only best for her and her children, as well as who she was surrounded by, to someone who so desperately needed children to love that she went on a murderous rampage in which she would replace herself as as mother to her own kids. She had no sense, and I hated it. It was so much better when she was grieving Vision and brought him back to life as a shell (and then WandaVision shenanigans ensue). "I'm a mother, not a monster" dgaf, you were a literal monster in Multiverse of Madness.

Oh gods I hope I explained this well. "A character" and "as a Character" might be too confusing. There just feels like too few English words to describe them. Dammit, guess I just gotta learn Japanese, or something. (I'm already learning Norwegian. Jeg lærer allerede norsk. [it took me way too many tries to get that right. I almost put Jeg er allerede lærer norsk, which translates to "I already teach Norwegian" when I put it into google translate. For all my Norwegian Speaking/Reading Tumblr Users out there, is google translate accurate? I use it to double check. I promise I am not using it to write in Norwegian as a baseline. and the only line. I also put in the guitar and vocals. {pun, for you musicians out there}])

when sirius and james accidentally find out about regulus’ crush on james, sirius makes the mistake of assuming him and james are on the same page and tells him he trusts him to do the right thing (ie., let regulus down easy) james misinterprets this as sirius trusting him to never do anything that could hurt regulus and starts planning the wedding

Thought Fiddlestan was a purely comedic ship for a while but now I get it, I see the light. It’s about a man who nurtures and cares for others to the point of heartbreak meeting a man who doesn’t remember what it’s like for anyone to care about him. It’s about them being warm together around the absence of someone they both love. It’s about Fiddleford’s innate domesticity comforting a man whose deepest desire was to come home. It’s about falling in love with the same face again but in a new context that heals your past trauma. It’s about Stan’s unbridled affection finally validating someone who desperately needed the recognition. It’s also about very funny old man yaoi.

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

ayda aguefort launching the bar for romance beyond the exosphere with “I sent these rocky chunks across the galaxy, and they have traveled since the beginning of time to tell you that I love you. In each moment of our mutual ignorance, where we had yet to meet, this message was already spinning its way to you through time and space to illuminate the night sky, to tell you that I love you. Us, our love, like time, has been inevitable and strange. I have walked in its shadow joyfully. It gives me peace to know that in my darkest moments, my love for you was already on its way, flying through the stars. We have been on our way to save us since before the lights of our world were first lit. Pretty cool, my darling paramour.”

the difference between how the ls members are treating pangi eating 18 stacks of bottled honey and killing all of the bees in a 1k block radius is so funny. like everyone else calling him insane while hannah says it was deserved bc they had it in an open chest and clown calls him a devious, hungry little guy 😭😭😭

do you actually dislike the bird abode or just the creature designs? not saying the name directly so your ass doesn't get blasted by the tag

I like a lot of the creatures in it; the showrunner is a really fantastic horror artist and it really comes through in the aesthetics of the show. I especially like this hand dragon, though there's a lot of other great designs:

As for the show on the whole, it's not bad but not really for me? Early on it really feels like it's schtick will be that it's a subversion of harry potter-esque stories, where the protagonist wants to go on an adventure similar to her favorite fantasy book but instead ends up hanging out with the "villain" (who's actually just othered)/the magic school turns out to be secretly oppressive/the world is kind of gross and spooky instead of clean and approachable... but as it goes along I think it ends up being a pretty by the books YA fantasy thing played mostly straight, and it isn't super interesting or funny or scary or anything besides that. Which admittedly was probably to its benefit, I think a lot of its popularity comes from it being this very tropeish and not-uncomfortable magic school/found family story that's actually queer, like I genuinely think this is hugely appealing to the average cartoon fan on twitter, but I'm just not personally into it in comparison to a lot of it's contemporaries

Jack Fenton was a round kid. Jack Fenton was a round kid with big blue eyes and a pudgy face and a brilliant smile, with a big laugh loud enough to rattle your bones. He was a stocky kid, big and tough and strong as an ox. He was the champion wrestler at his high school. Then he grew up, and he's still big, and broad, with a square jaw and straight black hair. He can lift both of his kids with one arm and lift his wife with the other. His smile remains brilliant, he has eyes like the open ocean.

Maddie Fenton was a willowy kid. Maddie Fenton was a willowy kid with bright eyes and a round face and a mind sharp like a scalpel, with a smile that could convince anyone to do anything. She was a tough kid, thin and lanky and strong like bamboo. She was top of her martial arts class by the time she was twelve. Then she grew up, and she's still brilliant, and she's no longer willowy, with a pointed chin and eyes that look purple in the dim light.

Jazz Fenton was a thin kid. Jazz Fenton was a thin kid with bright teal eyes and a soft face and a mind like a rabbit's, with a silk-hiding-steel voice that could sink into your bones. She was a bright kid, social and bookish and brilliant. She jumps from interest to interest like they're lilypads, soaking in everything that catches her eyes. She wants to be a doctor, then a therapist, then a teacher. She's growing up.

Danny is.

Danny is...

Danny is a small kid. Danny is a small kid with pale skin and a chubby face and eyes that are neither round nor blue like the open ocean, with a quiet voice that sounds like the wind whistling through the trees. He is a quiet kid, shy and skittish and hiding. He has eyes like a lamb; big and sweet, and they will swallow you whole. His eyes are blue like a glacier, and they see right through you, curtained with dark, wet lashes. His hair is black like an oil spill, black like raven feathers.

Danny is a watchful kid. Staring and watching, silent. Observing. He stares at the stars, as his parents work, at the neighbor across the street as he tinkers with his motorcycle in his driveway. In a house full of suns, there must be a shadow. In a city covered in sunlight, the dark always goes somewhere.

Danny is an outcast kid. He is an ink blot on a white page. He is a dark storm cloud over an open field. The looming shadow behind the trees. He is young and sweet and scary, with gentle fingers that are slender and long. His laugh is neither big nor does it rattle your bones, and his mind is not quick like a rabbit's nor is it sharp like a scalpel. His mind is radiant, the nail catching on the loose thread and unraveling it all in meticulous precision, and his laugh is soft and warm and it seeps into the soil like rainwater, soothing the ground.

Danny is a kid with a face like a stone statue; sharp and cold and pale, smooth and tall and cutting. With hair black like the night, that wisps and curls behind his ears and at his neck, swooping in his swallow eyes. He squints in the light as if his eyes will never get used to it, if you listen to his heart you can hear it bleeding.

Amity Park is a city with a blue sky and white clouds and a bright sun, a postcard come to life. Pretty and safe, full of normal people and normal jobs and normal parks and normal schools and normal children. In a world of heroes and powers and magic and aliens, Amity Park is a place that your eyes slide right over.

Amity Park is not made for a child like Danny Fenton, and Danny Fenton is not made for a place like Amity Park.
