all of zeon high society is talking about the colony's hottest new pairing, charma

[fairydust-stuff]

Oh, The Misfortune...

[fairydust-stuff]

The thing about Charma is that ... I feel like even if Char was fucking Garma, with or without Icelina as a factor, this would have absolutely no effect whatsoever on Char Aznable's desire for revenge. Like it just would not stop him from seeking revenge at all. The only thing that really changes is the exact content of Garma's death scene. What, you're upset that those nights we spent together meant nothing, Garma? Blame this on the misfortune of your birth about it!

No one told me Garma was gay as hell

in the vampire Armand there is a chapter where newly vampire 17 year old Amadeo starts getting really frustrated because of his gaps in memory from childhood and he asks Marius if he can return to his homeland to get closure and see his family for the last time and Marius agrees and takes him to Russia and Armand talks to his father who is getting drunk (as he apparently has done everyday since his son was sold into slavery) and his father is overjoyed and extremely emotional to see Armand again and to know that he is alive, and then when he is leaving Armand talks to his mother, who he thought wouldn’t recognize him but immediately does, and she (distrustful of Marius, who she doesn’t interact with but sees lingering behind Armand and is immediately concerned about) has Armand sign the cross the way he was raised because she wants to know that he “still remembers” and then parts with him with the plea that he not forget his religion or his culture. When Armand returns to Venice with Marius he stops listening to his teachings and becomes emotionally adrift and distant towards Marius, probably shaken after fully understanding what was taken from him, and after giving him some time to himself, Marius beats Armand for not recovering “quickly enough” from this experience.

Giving all this context for amc only fans to just to say that, what if in the show-verse, Marius took Armand to see his parents in Delhi, and in the same way, gets angry with him when they return and Armand is emotionally adrift after the experince. And maybe in this world the change in Armand after returning to Delhi is more drastic (maybe he’s growing super resentful towards Marius or being irresponsible or aggressive as an outlet for his grief). But instead of just beating him, what if Marius removes the memory of Armand seeing his parents in Delhi, and instills the idea that Armand’s parents willingly sold him into slavery, to keep him from trying to go back to them? Wouldn’t that be aweaome! (Fucked up)

I think abt nightwing #95 like all the time maybe

Dick’s so incapable of seeing himself as a victim that for two issues, his rapist was the only person he could stand to be around. His relationship with her was a punishment to himself for failing her and for letting Blockbuster die.

In her mind, both the murder and the sex were acts of love, while to him, obviously it was one of the darkest moments of his life. It made her feel like she knew him and made him feel known in all the worst ways.

For a few issues, (in his mind) she was the only one who understood and accepted him completely with all of his worst qualities, and the only one he was worthy of being around. She was safety and self destruction at the same time.

Later, he says that they’re bad for *each other*, because he can’t handle not being guilty of something.

“Tara was evil”

ok and I’m sure you’d be full of kindness if you were abandoned by your father, mother and country. If you were used as a lab rat for your brother to get powers with no regard to whether or not you live or die. Then become a contract killer and begin to work with a man in his 50s who grooms you into becoming an undercover spy for him also he statutorily takes you. Being part of the SUPERHERO team includes getting sexually harassed by one of the members, being borderline hated by their leader (before he was any the wiser to you being a spy.) As well as the one time you try and mention your struggles they play the damn trauma olympics with you. Then you get betrayed by the one person in your life who you ever trusted, the one person you believed LOVED you.

Yeah I’m sure you’d be having a great time

Society when people stop trying to turn every character who was raped into the “perfect” victim.

Tara was mean! She genuinely hated the Titans! She chose to work with Slade and she hurt people. She’s still a victim who deserves sympathy. Her character doesn’t need to be changed into something softer to maintain her victimhood

Dick never reached out for help and willingly attached himself to both of his assaulters for weeks/days after the assaults. I don’t think he would even call himself a victim if asked. His character doesn’t need to tearfully confide in his family members or seek vengeance to maintain his victimhood

To each their own but I hate when I see this kind of thing in different adaptations or fan works. Theres no right way to be a victim but I find it weird when people try to mold characters in a certain way to make them more comfortable. Like that’s just not the same character 😭

God I'm having so many thoughts about Touga Kiryuu. (TW: sa and csa allusions)

You're a child and your parents tell you you're being sold. You have to grow out your hair because that's what the customer wants. You assume the customer will be your new parent. You grow your hair out because you know nothing else than doing what you're told.

You finally meet the customer. Customer. Not new parent. You don't know what you're being sold as. You think you're there to be a child. And you are. But not in any way you ever wanted to be.

For the first time, you want to do something other than what you're told. No, you must do something else. You have to do something else. You cannot live like this anymore, with no power, no say in what the customer (he wants you to call him father, but this man is worse than any father you've ever known) does to you.

You see your chance. You run away. You run and you run and you run but it's not enough. You're too small. Too weak. And the customer is too strong, too powerful. You have no choice. You give up.

He catches you. He calls you beautiful.

Years go by this way. You push away your friends and then do everything you can to keep them close. But you can't let them know you care. You can't let anyone know you care. Caring makes you weak. It makes you vulnerable. Your hair gets longer. You're beautiful, he says.

Then, you meet a man who tells you he can make you strong. He's gorgeous and he's attentive and he's beautiful, but he's still powerful. And you realize beauty can give you immense power. He teaches you things, things you had thought you knew, but he makes them better. And it's different, you tell yourself. It's different when it's him because you want it now. You want to be like him so you must learn from him, and it's different. You're older. More mature. But not as mature as he is.

He calls you beautiful.

You learn from him. You weave words together beautifully. People want to do things for you. People love you. People want you. And you have the power to deny them. Keep them wanting. Make them beg. Make them chase you, but they can't catch you.

No one will ever catch you again.

Hello! Thanks for the nice comment on my harlots post c: I felt silly for a while that I had so much attachment to Charles as a character when most people write him off tbh. I have had a lot of ideas for fics etc over the years (admittedly oc / AU focused tho). would you be open to talking about the characters more via DM?

maybe but its been a while since I watched harlots. I'd have to do a rewatch. But that might be fun.

Emily has a terrible time saying thank you or showing appreciation.

You do not storm out and go to work at the rival brothel, you do not talk shit to the only person that’s offering to help you, and you certainly do not punch him in the face EEEEEESSSSPECIALLYYYY after you almost KILLED HIM!

Anger management.

Count ya blessings (and I’m atheist)

She get on my nerve.

what business have you? — charlie quigley. curly-haired cherub. i used to magic sweeties from your ears. do your remember? — what do you want? — your mumma has taken something that isn’t her’s. — she’s no thief. — no, she’s the worst kind. she’s a people thief. sees someone she has need of, snaffles them away, never to return. where’s she taken emily? — mumma doesn’t know or care where emily lacey is. — when did your mother ever let a dog lie? she feeds on vengeance like maggots on a corpse.

“Charles was destined for the Foundling Hospital, but when they came to take him away, he grabbed a handful of my hair and wouldn’t let go. ‘This one’s a fighter,’ I thought. But instead he’s as pliable as dough. At the mercy of every hard-nosed jade that would misuse him.”
