Are You a Troublemaker?
Ahab reigned as king of Israel beginning approximately 860 B.C. (exact dates of his reign vary). It was said that Ahab did evil in the sight of the Lord, more than all those who were before him. I Kings 16:30. Under his rule, idolatry was tolerated, even encouraged, largely a result of his evil wife Jezebel’s influence. Ahab erected an altar for Baal and made the Asherah, a wooden idol…

“Dain is just an imperfect 21-year-old kid who trusted his dad, and is a little over-protective telling his chronically ill friend to sit the fuck down.”
#Rebecca Yarros#Dain Aetos#pro Dain Aetos#REBECCA SAID SO#The Empyrean#Onyx Storm#Fourth Wing#Iron Flame#Rebecca Yarros quotes#The Empyrean series#can’t wait for Empyrean 4#look I get it I had my phase too#but by the end of IF I’m just sad for him#OS was cruel to all#and re-reads are just painful#and yes I love him with Sloane#but I never hated him (I liked him in FW & wanted to LOVE him but it wasn’t right in the pov lens at the time… he’s learning too & TRYING).#and IF he picks Violet & goes to kill Varrish. He leaves EVERYTHING for the right thing. Hell in OS he translated for the nightgown lmao.#and then you reread and I just feel for (well all of them) but him too#He got his slap the fandom had their feels as did Violet now let’s move on and see them as full characters; cause he’s a great one.#and now I’m full pro Dain#As the interviewer said: “We all have some Dain in us.”#And yes (being a chronically ill person) there are people we love that say “sit the fuck down” and were like “stop it!”#but it doesn’t mean we don’t love them anymore.#“& yes he invaded her privacy but so did Xaden & yall don’t seem to mind that— IS IT BECAUSE HE’S HOT?! Cause that’s a double standard!”#Also lmao whoever said Dain wasn’t hot; did you forget the almost friends to lovers hook? More importantly ENEMIES TO LOVERS#“Gods don’t I know it”?! … We sure the man isn’t a dragon cause that line is fire🤣#the only thing he did wrong was invading her privacy (and yes on rereads that hurts) but it was his dad; he didnt know; he carries enough OK#I love Dain! Rebecca said she LOVES DAIN!! “I LOVE DAIN!”#this post better age well & not betray me

The Council of Optimuses: Pleasant, generally positive, they exiled Bayverse a while ago but they still check in once in a while to make sure he's ok/out of curiosity, Earthspark enables One's 'I can fix him' delusion to the point that Prime is falling into it too, IDW does NOT want to add to the delusion pile so he shuts up, Cyberverse kinda doesn't want to be at this meeting it feels too much like a party, IDW keeps making calls to somebody but he won't tell anyone who, they used to have 'bring your Bumblebee to work day' but Skybound had a breakdown over it so they can't do that anymore, everybody is suspicious of Skybound's new arm but the only person who actually brought it up was Bayverse whose solution was 'kill him' so now everybody thinks they are getting paranoid and should maybe start seeing a therapist (they should start seeing therapists, but they ARE right about the arm).
The Council of Megatrons: They are having a great time even if it looks horrible from the outside looking in, Prime constantly wants to fight IDW for his spot as the strongest Megatron but IDW is not about that, they tried to kick out Earthspark but he somehow keeps getting in (IDW leaves the door open), One has like 5 devils on his shoulder telling him to escalate and two fallen angels who are desperately trying to get across that maybe total destruction isn't the move, IDW is trying to hide his redemption arc in order to keep the situation under control (only Earthspark is aware of it, though Skybound has his suspicions), Cyberverse always tries to kill the others to take over their universes and it's the highlight of everybody's month, Bayverse is mocked for being killed by Optimus but secretly everybody is kinda jealous about it (Prime especially), one time an unidentified Starscream (it was Animated) broke in and it was on sight (he got away because every Megatron wanted to be the one who killed him and they fought each other over it), IDW keeps taking calls from somebody but he won't tell anyone who, Skybound can listen in on his Optimus's meetings due to being his arm and reports back, there is an ongoing debate about whether Galvatrons should be included.
Inspired by @jyang030107 's art of ES and IDW Megs advising their One counterpart.

it’s so imp to me that. eventhough james largely views the world in black and white, nothing sirius does is ever wrong in his eyes. liiiike, he can’t even entertain the thought of sirius ever being in the wrong xoxo

Thinking about a post I saw a while ago about how if Valka stayed, her presence would've likely made things worse with Hiccup initially wanting to live up to Stoick and wanting to kill dragons, believing it to be a fix all for his problems, and having a mother, (who was likely very unpopular for her views) being openly against that would've made him dig his heals in more, and as someone who loves Valka as a character, they are absolutely right.
He'd likely see it as her not wanting him to be successful, at an extreme, wanting to drag him down with her.
I feel like in this conversation we need to take into account the fact that Valka was probably not treated well for her opinions and actions, her being Stoick's wife would not fix that. He could protect her from being exiled, but not poor treatment from the villagers for being 'crazy', not from whispers behind his back.
Actually 'staying and being Hiccup's mother' would again, make it worse for all of them. From her end, they'd blame Hiccup's weak constitution, him being born prematurely, on her as well as his odd (autistic) behavior and way of doing things on her.
Things like: 'Of course he's weird! You've seen his mother right? He won't ever be one of us. He'll end up mad, just like her.'
It'd cause strain between Stoick and Valka, Hiccup and Valka, and they'd all be miserable.
Valka leaving while not great, was likely the better outcome.

I bring a sort of "flawed female characters can be fun and enjoyable blorbos - both flawed in terms of having character flaws and in terms of having occasionally flawed writing" that it appears many, many, many people do not like
#i'm sorry for all the annoyance lately. i've been tired.#and a lot of the media i'm enjoying right now has focal female characters so i'm seeing the most absolute stupid takes of all time#anyways. cyan did have a character arc actually and her arc's flaws are largely similar to my criticisms of lin ling and yang cheng's arcs#so i don't appreciate the double standard#tianxi is just as interesting as tianchen if you actually read into her character the way one would for any underdeveloped male character#we don't even know anything about shao yuanyuan yet either why does everyone shit on her. i mean i get it i'm unimpressed with#her leaving her son behind - that is undeniably shitty. but there are so many who just don't want to see anything more of her. why???#yes wang qing got less screentime and marketing than hhh. but we actually have just as much if not more concrete info about her#than we do for any of those three. why is it that i mostly just see people complaining about her lack of screentime instead of#making five million headcanons for her the way hhh gets? :/#and like. all the arcane female characters. i'll admit i never did get as attached to caitlyn as i wanted to. but man.#i don't make arcane posts or interact with the fandom for a reason. the only female characters people seem to like are jinx and isha#mel has been done a great disservice in fandom imo. she is wayyy more interesting than just being beautiful.#and mizi is not a manipulator. wtf is your problem#i legitimately have no idea what kind of female character it would take to actually be considered good.#people want flaws but then completely misinterpret her. bad character writing means she's bad female rep.#it doesn't matter that people would lovingly take a guy with mediocre writing and give him a better arc. she's just “boring”#a male character can have the same internal conflict as a female character and everything about how she treats it is wrong.#writers then “play it safe” by giving their female characters external problems to overcome instead of internal ones#thus making her... “boring”. again.#same general issue applies to any character with a slightly darker skin tone too. doubly so for darker skinned women.#anyways. i am really scared for queen's arc honestly. i've already seen people being more excited for X than her#and shitting on her for being a “nepo baby” (???)#meanwhile i am concerned that they are going to play it too safe with her writing thus making her “strong woman” whose problems are#all external#that most of her drive will be related to the two older men in her life with no nuance (i'm hoping not but this is always a fear)#or that they will delve into a messier internal conflict and everyone is going to hate her except for the handful of people who#actually have a baseline understanding of women's issues. lmao.#liu yuwei get behind me.#storyrambles

Damn. It's been quite the year for AouBoom announcements! Three fanmeetings/fandays! Lead roles!! New official merch!! A logo!!!!! (Did I miss anything??) And it's not even the end of April yet...
(And this isn't counting the excitement they've brought from their reels/TikToks/P10L scenes/other moments that I am too tired to collate rn but I'm sure someone elsewhere has or will)

You know, as both a writer and a pro-generative AI activist, I find it annoying as fucking Hell when anti-AI shills call generative AI stealing but then go out of their way to defend and promote media piracy, AS WELL as claiming that you can be both pro-piracy and anti-AI. Like, bro, NO YOU CAN FUCKING NOT!!! Just because you think that AI is taking your jobs the same way Republicans think that Latinos are taking their jobs, DOESN’T make media piracy any better than AI. Fuck all of you!

greenies will call call the velaryon boys, baela, and rhaena all the names in the book (the bastardphobia and misogyny is strong with this one), but God forbid you say anything about the “innocents who never did anything wrong” jaehaerys, jaehaera, and maelor. somehow it’s the highest sin to say things/make fun of their deaths but jace, luke, and joff? open season apparently. love that for them.

Arthur saves people and it justifies his wealth and power. Merlin saves people and it’s a lowly peasant trying to be important. I see how it is 🚬-_-
#fandom critical#like yeah merlin is an unreliable narrator… he thinks that arthur is going to become better LOL#but this person spends all their time defending arthur refusing to lift the ban so that’s clearly not what they take issue with#i wish i could remember exactly what i blocked them for :/#they’re one of those merthurs who puts on a gwen pfp to avoid accusations but never talks about her + wants her gone from the story#unless it’s to emphasize that arthur could never possibly be interested in her and was never in love with her and to otherwise devalue her#importance to the characters (only white boys can move people emotionally ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS!!!)#merlin is also the Reluctant Hero archetype from the start… he accepts his narrative role eventually sure but he still doesn’t see himself#as The Hero. he sees Arthur as the Important one. he does not have a hero complex he is just trying to help LMAO there is such a difference#fellas is every instance of doing the right thing a sign that you have a Complex or Fetish?#we have to stop like. medicalizing human existence. or whatever this is… idk at this point :/ touch grass#but anyways his speech in 1x05 should’ve disillusioned anyone and everyone of thinking he has a Savior Complex come on now#fellas is it wrong to be uniquely positioned to save someone’s life. fellas is it wrong to try to end the genocide against your people#despite your misgivings/lack of self-confidence#dear god. pick up a book#also the sheer double standard where arthur’s heroism (propagating that arthur has earned being king therefore unequal wealth/power)#is treated as natural and goes unquestioned#whereas merlin’s is held under such horrendous scrutiny. it is OBVIOUSLY classist.#arthur is trying to justify inequality by justifying to himself that he’s ‘earned’ his higher status by Being A Hero#meanwhile merlin is saving everyone including arthur himself with no reward and no recognition simply in the hopes that it ends the wars#namely the war against magic#it’s just such a shallow brainwashed read i needed to waterboard it 😭

I will forever be indebted to anyone who draws fanarts of them in these outfits
#I will give my life for anyone who draws mittsie in these outfits; like please can you imagine someone banging on their door at odd hours#and Meeks answering the door in a flowy pink robe; sleep not fully out of his eyes as an equally sleepy Pitts is seen behind him in heart#boxers like poets don’t even say anything because they know if they do Meeks can verbally destroy them so they don’t even attempt#plus they value their grades so they try not to piss Meeks off; but like dude the mittsie fanart would go crazy in these#and anderperry both dressing like an old Victorian couple to go to sleep is so funny to me like I can see it so clearly#and the side eyes both Cameron and Charlie would give each other at bedtime every night and before they got into bed but also I could see#them just never bringing it up until like they get in a fight in the dining hall where Cameron is trying to tell Charlie to stop throwing#his dirty clothes into Cameron’s hamper so Cameron will wash them and Charlie is denying doing this and Cameron is like ‘dude you and I#both know those are not my boxers’ ‘how do I know you didn’t steal them’ ‘you literally wore them two days ago’ ‘how do you know that’ ‘you#literally rarely wear pants around our room what do you mean how do I know that’ ‘well who knows; might’ve been yours to begin with and I#stole them so I was just now returning them’ ‘I would NEVER buy boxers that tacky’ ‘exCUSE YOU our boxers aren’t tacky’ ‘your boxers that#I’m not washing’ ‘it’s like you don’t even love me’ and then rumors start that they’re gay and both pull a face of disgust like ‘you think#my standards are THAT low; I do have some dignity’ they say in unison before turning to the other like ‘what’s wrong with me?’#and then Knox would be over there by his lonesome cause he had some random roommate rather than one of these boys as a roommate so he#doesn’t get to see any of them in these outfits nor them him in his heart boxers#keating would be in the teachers wing and they would all have to rush to a scene in the middle of the night and they would all be giving#Keating a side eye like wtf is this grown man wearing ‘John. you look… that robe’ ‘yes; what a better way to appreciate the every day but#making the every day extraordinary; sometimes we must treat ourselves to truly understand life’s meaning’ ‘and that pink shit does that?’#‘well of course; its silk Kevin.’ ‘right.’#dps#dead poets society#gerard pitts#charlie dalton#richard cameron#neil perry#todd anderson#steven meeks#knox overstreet#mr keating#the poets as…

macaque, why do you keep using they/them for mayor? I heard from many people that when someone dislikes a person they ignore their chosen pronouns, (although of course that would not work with mayor because they use any pronoun)

I mean he was conventionally attractive in Sherlock BUT that only shows how important a good haircut it. People yearn for men with longer hair.
