I love browsing Emet Selch fics- specifically the ones tagged under Solus zos Galvus because I know I will get one of two things; 1) a really interesting exploration of the character or the people around him and the extent of the damage he's dealt or 2) a fic that just straight up ignores the fact that he's a villain. It's just so interesting seeing the mental gymnastics some people jump through to make Solus look good.
Okay real talk tho it does piss me off a bit that people keep trying to redeem him. No not even redeem him- they just ignore the entire point of his character. Like yes he's a multi faceted character and that is what makes him interesting- STOP TRYING TO MAKE HIM MORALLY SOUND!!!
Anyways this is your sign to promote your own fics or fics you've found that make Solus zos Galvus an irredeemable bitchass hoe. Or your HCs idk. Something. I accept that my mans is evil okay. He did in fact do that and I support it because he is well written and has layers to him.
#i am Really Picky about emet fics bc i feel like most people try to 'woobify' him ................... and it's just not my cup of tea tbh!!#like. not in the 'silly' sense bc i personally think woobified silly emet who is a clown is fucking great.#but like. woobify him in the 'he is just a poor misunderstood man' kinda way which irks me yknow.#i LOVE when people write emet being obnoxiously 'yeah. i did that. and i would do it again bitch!' (> as he basically says in canon lol)#tbf that doesn't mean there's no space for him to feel 'regret'; i like fics that explore that.#idk. i think it's a tough balance for a lot of people to get right.#bc on one hand you still want your readers to 'connect' with him i guess and him being Clearly Not Sorry makes it perhaps more difficult#but on the other hand i feel like that's just a huge part of his character to me - the fact that he ISN'T sorry!#anyway some fic recs about Galvus Family Shit:#'In which Zenos sneaks around' by SemperDraca#Good food. Explores interesting tidbits from canon and focuses on the Solus-Zenos relation#'The Emperor's Tools' by maccom#also really really good.#as for emet x reader/oc stuff i really enjoyed:#'Preconceptions' by JanuaryBlue. old as balls but i love how they wrote emet. it's mostly all smut but somehow also has plot.#tbh basically anything by JanuaryBlue is really good i think if you like character analysis.#Anything by maccom as well.#i also really like lestat's work. (armchaircynical). he writes emet so fucking good#edit: the funny thing is most of these recommendations were all written BEFORE EW hit :skull emoji:#guessing the idea of emet just being a 'poor tsundere man with a heart of gold' came from people seeing EW Emet & jumping onto that#and i mean....... i get why people do it. but still. have you looked at hades. that man is snarky as fuck.#yes he's not Evil or Mean or anything but he is still spikey!! moody !!! with a giant stick up his ass!!!

anyway since the smoke has cleared a little, i wanted to basically vent/put my thoughts out there bc i feel the need to get this out of my system and since ff fourteen's community on this hellsite is not as loud as twt or blsky's, i feel more at ease to do that here.
feeling a weird kind of validation seeing [redacted] show her whole ass with that deeply transphobic comment. i’ve been blocking/sidelining her for months. in fact, ever since i left That Discord, i’ve had an eye on her.
back then, with the orientalist thing, she never got involved in the worst stuff herself imo (it was just, bad but ultimately "harmless" thinking on her part, aka, she didn't cause harm on purpose, i'm very certain, even though people got uncomfortable), but the way she handled her “apology” after that gpose sealed it for me: no accountability taken at all.
in fact, she always seems to be there when conflict breaks out, even when she has no reason to be (re: recent happenings). it’s like she inserts herself into conflict just to be seen???? which i think is her issue, honestly!! and i feel bad about it, bc she’s clearly struggling: single mom, isolated (she has made multiple posts about not having a lot of irl friends/people around her, complains a lot about the twt algorithm muting her, etc, etc), neurodivergent, some real trauma. i do pity her. but i also don’t want her anywhere near my peace bc i can't handle her behaviour towards others, especially those she doesn't agree with (which is why i blocked her months ago). she gets very emotional and nasty about it often, and at the age of +40 i feel like you should've learned a bit more emotional regulation to handle those feelings or know where to put them.... but then again, if im able to read her right: i don't think she has a supportive irl environment. so her turning towads internet friends is... well. can you blame her?
idk man. people can be both suffering while also being harmful towards others. i truly wish her and her kid the best but i hope she realizes that being chronically online isn't the way to forge friendships or get out of the shit she is struggling with.

Enough of the trope where memory loss undoes the damage or the corruption or whatever. More content where removing memories just removes the context.
The tragedy of needing to grieve and not knowing what or who you lost or why. The angst of having trauma and being denied the awareness that it's trauma. The suspense of being different somehow and left to wonder how and when. The tension of knowing that something is off and you can't find where it hurts. The Adventure Zone gets it. Kingdom Hearts gets it.
There is an aching inside you and you don't know how it got there.
