I think this post is enough to tell one that how much media literacy is lacking in fandom spaces. Charlie's reason was literally the same in the novel, LIKE EVERYTHING WAS SAME IN THE SHOW WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT? AND CHARLIE WASN'T DYING FROM GUILT???? DO YOU SEE THIS FACE:
BITCHASS 20,000 DIFFERENT DIALOGUES CANNOT EXPRESS WHAT POOH DID WITH ONLY TWO EXPRESSIONS.
NOT ONLY THAT, IN THE SHOW CHARLIE DID LEARN ABOUT BABE'S CARS AND RACING WAY BEFORE AND DIDN'T HESITATE TO RACE WHEN BABE ASKED HIM TO EVEN THOUGH HE WAS LITERALLY HAVING A PANIC ATTACK. ALSO, CHARLIE LITERALLY CANNOT CONTROL HIS POWERS IN THE SHOW, WE SEE HIM HESITATE TO TOUCH BABE IN EP 1, WHY? 'CAUSE THE POWERSSSS. NOT TO MENTION THIS MAN CONSTANTLY INJECTED HIMSELF WITH DRUGS TO SUPRESSS HIS POWERS. ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS RIGHT NOW? Y'ALL REALLY THINK CHARLIE WAS SELFISH BECAUSE HE PLANNED BEHIND BABE'S BACK? TO SAVE BABE???? YOU REALLY THINK IF CHARLIE JUST WENT AND BE LIKE "yeah I was adopted by tony, and i am here to save you" BABE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED??? HE DIDN'T EVEN BELIEVE WHEN CHARLIE SAID HE AND JEFF WERE NOT FUCKING. WAY WAS EFFECTIVELY MANIPULATING HIM AND HYPNOTISING HIM DURING THAT TIME PLUS HIS OWN TRUST ISSUES. CHARLIE WORKED HARD TO GET THROUGH THAT SWEETHEART. I AM SO MAD RN.
ALSO CHARLIE COMES BACK LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED? HUH?? THAT MAN WOULD COME BACK TO SAVE BABE. LIKE IN THE NOVEL WHY TF DID CHARLIE THINK HE SHOULDN'T GO BACK? SELF WORTH ISSUES AND WHY DOES CHARLIE IN THE SHOW COMES BACK? 'CAUSE HE KNOWS BABE TRUSTS HIM, THEY HAD BUILD A FOUNDATION OF TRUST BY THEN. THE NOVEL CHARLIE JUST SUFFERS AND SERVES BABE BUT SINCE IN THE SHOW WE SEE CHARLIEBABE'S MUTUAL LOVE, Y'ALL ARE PISSED 'CAUSE FUCK HUMANISATION OF HUMAN CHARACTERS RIGHT?

i don't think people understand the extent of the horror happening in palestine right now. "death" means nothing to people because of desensitisation so let me just tell you what white phosphorus is. it's being used in israeli munitions and has been and will continue to be fired across gaza and the palestinian borders.
white phosphorus burns when it comes into contact with oxygen (at nearly 800°C or 1500°F. the human body can withstand ~50°C for reference.) the air you breathe in ignites and it is near impossible extinguish. it sticks to clothing and skin and is very difficult to remove because it will continue to ignite in air. it burns flesh up to the bone and even past the bone because it penetrates tissue and is absorbed VERY easily. if you inhale it it'll destroy your respiratory tract and lungs. it can cause failure in multiple organs including the liver, kidneys and heart. it is being released in one of the most densely populated places on earth.
the only way to treat someone exposed to white phosphorus is to submerge them in saline or water and to pick out the substance with forceps, and when you undress a wound the substance can re-ignite. this is just ONE weapon that is being used to kill palestinian people right now. palestine does not have access to medical care, humanitarian aid, power, or internet. their hospitals are being bombed. gaza is one of the most densely populated places in the world with over 50% of the population being children. many children are the sole survivors of their families. there are videos of children experiencing panic attacks and symptoms of ptsd. the fact that israel has committed war crimes in plain sight means that we can only imagine what will happen to the palestinians in complete darkness.
israel has and will continue to deny this. your interests and fandom will still be here, you will wake up tomorrow morning and see your friends and family, but an entire nation of people are being wiped off the map. being silent is being complacent. reblog, spread information, tell people in real life, attend protests, sign petitions, call your government offices, at the very least be angry and upset and horrified because once you become numb and indifferent and hopeless the oppressors will have already won.
what's happening right now is more than a genocide and once it becomes a part of history we'll wonder how the world let this happen. genocides have been part of all nations. just because it is far away does not mean you don't have to be concerned. the fact that YOUR governments and YOUR idols and the people around YOU are supporting the mass eradication of an entire group of people should scare you. it shouldn't make you feel anything less than sick and angry and disgusted. DO something about it, no matter how small you feel your voice is, because palestinians no longer have one.
[edit] links to some helpful reblogs: one & two

learn about palestine with this masterlist of info
+ a further reblog of mine
[edit 2] about palestinians "not having a voice" at the time i wrote this post internet connection was cut off entirely and even journalists weren't able to report for a period of time — that is all i meant by that. they of course have a voice and i never meant to undermine how people are risking their lives in gaza to get information out there and i apologise if thats what people took from it, it was not my intention but it is entirely my bad. please continue to spread information and updates from gaza as they come.

So I've been thinking lately about how Mithrun is Kabru's dark mirror (more on that another time- it needs its own post), and I thought it interesting that one of their parallels is that they were both cared for by Milsiril, but in opposite directions. She took Kabru in as her foster after he was orphaned and tried to convince him not to become an adventurer. On the flip side, she helped rehabilitate Mithrun specifically so that he could rejoin the Canaries.
And I kept wondering: why?
For Kabru, obviously she loves him a whole lot- despite any other shortcomings in their relationship, I do believe that.
So I get why she tries to convince him not to go dungeoning, and, failing that, at least prepares him as thoroughly as she can.
But why help Mithrun? She used to hate Mithrun, but after realizing what a secretly twisted person he was, she actually thought of him more positively (oh, Milsiril). So it wasn't as if she held the kind of grudge that might motivate her to make his already-depleted life even more miserable by sending him back to the dungeons. And it wasn't that she felt bad for him either, since she didn't visit Mithrun for the first ~20 years of his recovery.
The Adventurer's Bible says that Utaya was the impetus for Mithrun returning to the Canaries, but Milsiril is the one who made the trip to see him and tell him about it.
Why would Milsiril work so hard to get her old coworker back into fighting fit? Why encourage him to return to such a dangerous lifestyle, when she was the one who chose not to mercy-kill him?
That last panel is such a crazy thing to hint at and then never elaborate on. Without it we could have just thought that Milsiril wanted the Canaries' work to continue without her, even if it seemed out of character. I think some people even assume she's just a natural caretaker as a foster mom and handwave it to include nursing Mithrun too. What could Milsiril's suspicious motives be? What does she gain from Mithrun joining the Canaries that isn't an altruistic desire to see dungeons safely sealed? Feeling a sense of responsibility for the work she left behind isn't an ulterior motive.
My theory is: Milsiril, knowing that Mithrun was empty save for the burning desire to face the demon again, wound him up like a clockwork doll and pointed him back at the dungeons.
Hoping that he'd eliminate the biggest threat to Kabru's life, before it was too late for him.
Milsiril the puppetmaster.
