Tumblr, I have erred

I collected my thoughts about Mephiston's arc and shared it with....Reddit.

So far I've been told that they hate the way my brain works (yeah me too take a fucking number) that my jokes aren't funny (valid) and that I'm supporting war crimes and also when I told someone to read the whole thing I got told I was wrong bc I didn't break it down for the guy myself. Because honestly it felt insulting to say oh you didn't get the context let me say the same thing. And one person argued an irrelevant question.

Not one person has actually agreed OR DISAGREED with what I was actually saying

Which was that the third book was a disappointment because it took Mephiston from being an avatar of someone struggling with trauma to an MCU character, stripping away all his depth and making him onesided and kind of not relatable.

And also that Antros was a jackass.

And I'm here because it's all so stupid. Hate my opinion, or not, but godDAMN at least react to my OPINION. All this tone policing/structure policing bullshit is just, well, I mean, I feel like a huge ass failure for one thing, like how come some people can have opinions and I can't? Am I that unlikable? Or that inept with words? It wasn't like I was making that unpopular a take, even--but even that's irrelevant because none of them are even referring to my take.

Okay no but for real.

The thing that makes Mephiston interesting and not an overpowered dweeb is his conflict, his wondering who/what he is, and the dawning horror of the realization he's the Black Angel incarnate and City of Light so far just turns him into... a Marvel comics character. He's like Dr Strange in the later movies.

LIke that whole Octocalvariae conversation which turns into a 'I let him THINK I was being fooled when all along I was secretly fooling him' just. like. stop. I loved the first two books. Why are you doing this to me, DARIUS.

Why does Reddit HATE Mephiston so much?

Like...damn. I've read like four different rants just bashing the guy.

I mean Maelum Caedo 1v1s an actual chaos daemon without breaking a sweat and that's cool but Mephiston angsts around and zaps shit while bleeding from his eyeballs and he's the problem?

[halcyondaymare]

Okay no I get it now. City of Light maguffins the FUCK out of the Primaris procedure to make Mephiston ALL POWER NO CONFLICT.

Also, Antros is still a dick. I can't believe even Rhacelus likes him now. I WAS COUNTING ON YOU GAIUS.

FOLLOW UP THOUGHT

Why are we all hating on Mephiston when Antros is RIGHT FUCKING THERE. Oh my god I have never wanted to slap a Warhammer character so hard.

I'm only 2 books in and he keeps getting his face fucked up by xenos and I'm like...well that's symbolic of something but the only thing that comes to mind is 'being an absolute dickhead' . I respect him for not 100% fanboying Mephiston but goddam every choice he makes is literally stupid.

How does a Lexicanium not know one of the bywords of Tzeentch?!?!

Everyone: Please please please don't write your books in Google Docs. Frankly don't use Google Drive for personal stuff.

Their terms of service say they take down stuff like content related to terrorism and trafficking, but this Google Sheet was literally a list of movies I'd watched this year and books I'd read.
