#I'm not condoning his actions but

Well yeah, to YOU he's a criminal but to me he's babygirl

I'm the universe's only Lex Luthor fan I swear. He doesn't have a million fans. If that man has one fan, it's me. If he has no fans, that means I'm dead for real!!!

[dennisboobs]

plain and simple i am not going to be able to remain in this fandom long-term if i have to keep putting disclaimers on every single one of my posts that say i don't condone dennis' bad, bad actions and that i am in fact aware he's got a history of sexual assault and dubious/nonconsent. the entire gang has done heinous shit. why is dennis the only one who needs to be treated like this? if some rando wants to post about how dennis is pookie pie that doesn't automatically mean they're blind to his crimes. every single member of the gang is a piece of shit. that's kind of the point.

draw dennis with cat ears who give a shit

I saw a post back when the PJO show was announced that said something like "Watch, they're gonna cast a pretty boy to play Luke Castellan and all of you are gonna be Luke apologists."

And I'm like.

JOKES ON YOU. I WAS ALREADY A LUKE APOLOGIST

Some of you really read the Ballad expecting Coryo to somehow redeem himself as if this wasn't a PREQUEL.

Y'all act as if 18 yo Coryo already did all the shits President Snow did💀

What does BoSaS Coryo need to apologize for?

Not liking cabbages? Hating the people that bombarded his home and killed his parents when he was 5??

He only become an actual "bad guy" at the end of Part 3 but you guys act as if he was always like that???? Bruh, it's called development for a reason, no character stay the same from page 1

People want to see a character arc that goes from good to bad because they think "redemption arcs are boring" and when they have one they misinterpret it, ignore it and don't even try to get it

Honestly seeing all the posts unironically celebrating a child possibly killing his father, is deeply disturbing.

Instead of focusing on how Adrien possibly learning Monarch’s identity in the end and then realise that, not only he was fighting his own father all along, but actually almost killed him (or possibly damaged him for life) and the trauma his character could go through because of that, these out-of-touch people that treat Gabriel like he’s a real person, are celebrating by saying stuff like: “Adrien deserves to kill his father” or “we deserve to see Gabriel die”.

It’s ghoulish and cruel (and makes them just as bad as Gabriel, if not worse, since he’s fictional, therefore his actions are not his own, and they are real people).

The dynamic Adrien and Gabriel have, always reminded me of Vader and Luke. Both are father and son, a villain and a hero, but when in one fandom Luke and Vader’s story is celebrated for it’s lesson in compassion, in the MLB fandom there is no such empathy. All you get is a bunch of people (mostly adults) that can’t distinguish fiction from reality (take Gabriel’s action personally), should probably step back from this kids show (especially if it causes them so many destructive emotions) and that warps even the tiniest thing Gabriel does into “abuse” (ex: Adrien having a balanced and healthy alimentation = “he’s starving him!”). [What he does as Hawkmonth doesn’t count because he doesn’t know CN is Adrien. Also there are multiple instances where Gabriel gives up his powers when his son is caught in the crossfire (ex: Stlyle Queen), showing he does love Adrien and wants him to be safe, even if it means letting Emilie go (returning to his villainous ways is part of his descent into madness, has nothing to do with his love for Adrien). And episodes like “Chat Blanc” and “Ephemeral” are out, not only because they are a “what if”, making them irrelevant, but because a lot of the cast acts completely out of character, including Gabriel (but let’s be fair this happens constantly in the show)]

Yes, Gabriel changed and became emotionally distant after Emilie “disappeared” and that constitutes a type of abuse (I’m not condoning his actions), but he’s not the horrible father parts of the fandom want him to be (Audrey is so much worse). What we are now seeing in season 5 is not the real Gabriel, it’s him loosing his mind and being corrupted by power: "You used to do this for the love for Emilie, now you just do it for madness" (he’s clearly not the man he was in season 1 nor before the events of the show). He was never “Monarch”, he became like that with time. It’s called character development (something that rarely happens in this show, so I’m not surprised if some people are taken aback by it).

Don’t get me wrong, I get it, some people don’t like Gabriel and it’s fair. I’m the first to criticise and make fun of the guy, even if I like his character (I wanted to reach into the screen and smack him after “Evolution”). But the vitriol aimed at this fictional character, who’s been written (even if badly) as a “desperate man fallen from grace and corrupted with power” (again, like Anakin), is really exaggerated, like most hatred other characters recieve (even Ozai, who’s so much worse than Gabriel, never recieved so much hatred). Also the actual hate and abuse these real people throw to other human beings for not agreeing with them about a fictional character is really heinous, and I know I’ll probably get a couple of these lunatics’s “opinions” in the replies. To them: look at what you’re doing with your life and rethink it. Stop. Get help.

These reactions really make me wonder if MLB is the first and only show these people have ever seen. There are way more worse characters out there, that did way worst (ex: Gendo Ikari, Shou Tucker, Ozai, Palpatine, just to name a few).  In the end Gabriel is not real, what he did never happened and the show clearly makes him out to be in the wrong (he’s the villain), so no child watching the show will ever look up to him (unlike other characters who’s bad actions are framed to be “right”). I think the people that hate Gabriel to such a caustic degree need some professional help because clearly something else is going on in their life and I wish them a healthy recovery.

-

And if people wonder why I like Gabriel’s character, it’s because he, alongside Nathalie, are the only characters with actual development in this series. Therefore they’re the most interesting and compelling. Get a random episode from each season, everyone is the exact same except them. This is why, objectively, they’re the best the show has to offer (despite the occasional character assassinations... looking at you “Chat Blanc”, you absolute trainwreck).

1) a reminder that just bc someone cosplays a character doesn’t mean they condone that character’s actions

2) this cosplay gave me so much gender euphoria like i legitimately teared up lol

he’s still unfinished, but here’s an oberon cosplay lmao. i actually made the outfit for a high school sewing project 2 years ago, then i dropped out so. i just… never bothered to do the cosplay xD so he’s here now!! this is actually my lucy wig and i didn’t want to cut that and not be able to use it for her, i know it isn’t styled for him “-_- i’ll finish making his crown and wings soon and i’ll buy a wig for him once they’re finished, but for now i’m actually pretty satisfied with how it came out??

i still hate him as a character, obviously, but i always liked his design and he gives me a lot of gender envy. plus, this is kinda like another way for me to take away the power from my trauma, i guess? this and my titania cosplay mean a lot to me for that reason.

Do you ever think about how messed up it is that Klimt tried to bring his first victim to justice, possibly multiple times but was unable to? He only killed him because in his mind there was no other option, and the same thing happened with Genshin. When he suspected Klimt was the Professor he went to the authorities (Stronghart) but he refused to do anything about it, so he took matters into his own hands. And of course they were both extorted by Stronghart before finally meeting their end.

going to make my byf clearer with some stuff soon >___<

I liked The Boy (2016), but the longer I think about the movie the messier it becomes.

The biggest thing: Why did the Heelshires enable Brahms behavior? Why didn't they do something when they found out he was alive? Were they ashamed of him? Did they want to hide him away? The film reveals that the couple knows their son is alive with the letter. Clearly Brahms' wanted to continue to be treated like a child and act like one. This makes his infatuation on Greta feel very left field to be honest. I know in the original script for this film, Brahms' intents towards Greta were definitely going to be sinister, but the actual movie just does not do anything to build that aspect up, because it spends most of its time making you believe that the house/doll is haunted by the spirit of a little boy.

The second thing: The evidence behind Emily's death is not strong enough. We cannot say for sure that Brahms murdered his childhood friend. We only have word of mouth that Emily went missing and when they found her body, that is when the Heelshire house went up in flames and Brahms supposedly died. It all seems very strange and incohesive. Although, I guess Brahms saying that he would kill Malcolm like he did the others is absolute evidence that he did in fact murder her and maybe he also murdered the other nannies that he did not like, but we still do not see him actually do so. (In fact, he just leaves Malcolm after Greta runs away, making his threat mute.) The only thing we see is Greta imagining Brahms smashing Emily's skull in when he is attacking Malcom. The only person Brahms killed for sure was Greta's abusive ex. Brahms is most likely supposed to be a representation of men who are toxic and how society enables these toxic men, but there's just not enough there to make me buy that or hate him or view him as a true villain.

ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE FOR THE REVERSE ASK MEME

HAVE NOT STOPPED THINKING ABOUT IT CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT WILL NOT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. FILM OF THE YEAR.

exceeded all expectations!! not that my expectations were low, but god. blown out of the water. cannot believe they went and did That. like i knew it would be a great ride, i knew it would be good, but ??? a little part of me was like 'idk they set the bar reeaaaaalllly high....' and yet. they reached it. they said u want a spiderverse sequel? okay. *the most visually stunning and emotionally devastating 2 and a half hour film you've ever seen*. it was so visually abstract ? and playful?? and innovative? visual HIGH art at its finest?? and yet the story/narrative structure was so smart. characters felt in tune with how things ended in the last film, the themes stayed true to the original message (anybody can be spiderman!), and the twists and turns were surprising yet didn't feel unjustified or thrown in for shock. a breath of fresh air. also the score!! the soundtrack!! they set the bar high for the first one with that too, yet i can't stop listening to it.

i was literally shaking walking out of that theater, i thought i was about to have a heart attack. i can't remember the last time i felt this way after seeing a movie. miles morales saving modern cinema and the movie theater industry fr!!!!!
