#My Honest Thoughts

[missninapea]

Ughh I fuckin hate seeing posts related to people being upset about the 90 minutes of GO3!! I'm kinda sad, too, I get it, but y'all, don't make it worse for me, it makes me even more upset due to all of the negative responses. I'mma start blocking posts and tags.😭😠😠

Just needed to vent out how I feel whenever I see pessimistic posts in the fandom. Like I get anxious about them and it sours my mood.😞

something that kinda irks me is when people say they stopped watching twd JUST BECAUSE glenn died. like… he literally died in the comics, his death was inevitable. it was part of the storyline. and i totally get it that you don’t want to watch after your favorite character dies, but let’s be real because if you read or knew about the comics you would have anticipated glenns death and pretty much accepted that it was going to happen at some point. many great characters died in the history of twd. and don’t read me wrong—glenn was one of my favorite characters, and seeing him die literally ripped my heart out of my chest. but to stop watching a show because a character who was meant to die, died? it’s kinda crazy to me 😭

i also wanted to say that i 100% agree that glenn’s death left a hole in the show because his character was so strong and relatable to so many (including me). i’m not at all bashing on people that stopped watching after he died. i’m simply stating my confusion as to why that was your only reason to stop watching the show lol.

also also, when carl’s death came along, i couldn’t continue watching twd for a while. that’s because killing him off was unreasonable; he didn’t die in the comics, and the reason they kicked him off the show was because chandler riggs turned 18 and his contract with the show ended. now THATS a good reason to stop watching twd in my opinion.

thoughts

even though I am not particularly happy with some part of the episode, including the vamp Daniel. (Personally I would have preferred to have waited for it in a later season) I do think it means devil's minion happened in the past up until Daniel got turned. In the show he was simply let go. There's no way Armand would have turned him out of spite. The absolute character destruction that would be, would be an enormous betrayal, (And this episode already did a big betrayal to him in a way, so lets just keep it a one) I think we'll see Daniel's turning scene again in a future season but with the real reason, the book reason. The only question is, what caused Daniel to die? He seemed fine when he left Dubai, but about a year has passed since and we don't know how long Daniel has been a vampire. So, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Thank god for S3 everyone, let's hope it has some answers.

CONTAINS SPOILERS!

I've read fanfiction since I have been a teenager, and one plot I've seen being a bit..overused? Is that the correct word? Is the rape or non consensual aspect. I understand it's a good, better yet, a great thing to be seen and heard by the voices of the masses who have experienced such cruelty. But rather I find it to be a bit off putting when it's solely used by the author to drive the plot forward or add a depth of complexity to the character. Recently I've been reading Varadeva fanfiction on ao3, almost half the fanfictions contain elements of Varadha being a victim of such a situation.

Men can be victims of such instances as well, and even traditionally strong men can be victims too. Salaar contains inherently sexual undertones for the ones who want to believe that and I understand but I don't necessarily stand by it. But, considering the 87-ish fanfics on ao3 of Varadeva or Salaar (as of now), the authors could use a better plot point to use on their works.

Adding a depth of complexity to an already troubled character is definitely difficult and I can certainly understand why someone would use that for a character, rape is a very real situation and the victims should be seen and heard, but fanfic writers use this so much to the point where multiple readers could find the story to be solely about it, rather than overcoming it.

Overcoming it is definitely difficult, and I think this situation can be used well if written well. And, although ao3 is a more mature version of Wattpad, there is no doubt that some works can rival even the 12 year olds on Wattpad. They use the rape aspect to be a plot driver and execute it poorly.

So this is where my thoughts on Varadeva fanfiction comes in, although I understand most of these are fanon, there are some fanfics that are sort of leaning towards a canon aspect, and some of you may argue that Varadeva is fanon itself. You're right, it is, but it is a ship, not an overused plot driver. Most of the rape aspects in these fanfics show Varadha's vulnerability, and that's fine.

But, my issue comes to the fact that Varadha is written in such a way that his vulnerability is due to his supposedly unhealthy relationship with consent or his experience with rape and all that. Varadha is mentally strong, and I know it's a running joke that he is unstable, but nobody can deny he is a strong person.

He is vulnerable due to many reasons, the way people treat him, his younger brother, uncertain safety, his best friend and such. Yet we can see that he is able to withstand it better than anyone else on the outside, despite seeing how he cried after getting drunk, we know that he is still mentally strong.

You guys can argue with me all you want, but this man is very mentally strong. Imagine your mother dying, having to take care of your younger brother when you yourself are a child, your best friend leaving you, your father disgracing you, your older half-siblings despising you, your people humiliating you and on top of that, you gain the throne with the blood of your foes and friends but your best friend becomes your arch rival.

He is stronger than me, and he deserves to be written better, rather than him being a victim of another one of real situations turned into meaningless plot drivers by teen authors.

Here's Varadha smiling if you finished reading all that. ↓

I'd caught some news now that Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse entered the public domain as the first day of January starts.

Though one thing that bothers me that every time once it opens, they make some unnecessary decision when making horror movies like Blood and Honey for Winnie the Pooh. I mean, we already in few first days til the announcement for a horror game of "Infestation 88" to "Mickey's Mouse Trap" movie. That's really too quick if you ask me. 😕😒

Couldn't we just get any other than making horror movies from our beloved characters. It'll be a tiresome trend in the near future that I'm not look forward to.

how are fic writers gonna say “english isn’t my first language” but then they proceed to write such drool worthy smut.

Lightseekers by Femi Kayode | Book Review| 1.0⭐😣| challenging - dark - slow-paced| Book Quote: 'Surely people can't believe so much nonsense without at least trying to know where it's coming from?' Folake asks with exasperation. 'People are generally more likely to go with popular opinion than dissent. It's not unique to Okriki, I answer drily. Chika kisses his teeth with irritation. 'But this town takes the cake. Everyone's on edge. Always ready to believe the worst of each other.' Book Review: I would not fully categorize this book as a crime/mystery. Mystery gives the impression that something is being turned over and investigated but Lightseekers felt like a DOA case for 80% of this book. Phil is actively going around looking for answers, yes. But every road block imaginable gets in his way. At a certain point I felt he was sent there on a fools errand when the person who hired him shows up, set on his own plan to deal with those involved with his son's death by taking matter's into his own hands.

It is the greatest pleasure to read the "Vampire Lestat" after the iwtv book.

The fragile and broken Lestat in the iwtv IMMEDIATELY changes and becomes the Phoenix on his Harley Davidson in the black leather.

Awakes from his hundred years long sleep and has more interest in life than ever.

He is just my strong little boy who is beaten hard by his life but always. Always. Comes back even stronger.

honestly my mother was a huge champ about her eight-year-old asking to be bought an unabridged edition of the Odyssey for a birthday present, and then she was an equally huge champ about reading her eight-year-old the unabridged Odyssey as a bedtime story and pausing every four lines to define something for me, and let me just say that I have fucking TREASURED the opportunity to reverse that old tradition by more or less forcing her to sit on my couch and listen to Epic and pause it every four lines for my dissertation
