Damn Ashe back at it again with the dogshit persona takes

Uh, this might be my own personal desire for Audrey to be slightly less awful than canon (in part so she can’t be fully blamed for Chloe’s actions the way ML writers tried to), but was Audrey actually feeling bad for Zoe when she cried? I know it might be more of a general discomfort with vulnerability and sadness, but to me it felt like maybe Audrey does care that she made her kid so distressed, even as an akuma.

You are not hallucinating. She felt kinda bad that Zoe was crying. This is an SL exclusive.

Thank you. I'm sorry.

i knew a girl who was really into killing/stalking in middle school. for a very long time i had it mixed up with pippi longstocking and her gushing was frankly very confuding for me. anyways later learned what it really was and man she shouldnt have been reading that at 13 years old methinks

I think 13-year-olds should be reading killing and stabbing and cannibalism, actually, and making sparkle-wolf deviantart OCs, and listening to angry music with cuss words if they want, and dressing weird at the mall. I do not think the moral fiber of a 13-year-old is going to be sinfully frayed because they read something with unalivicide or whatever the hell they're calling it these days.

I DO want to live in the world where killing/stocking and pippi longstocking are the same IP. It sounds like a beautiful world.

Its important to me that Trigun is, fundamentally, at it's heart, about restorative vs retributive justice.

People are so boring about classic literature sometimes. Like I know it’s cool to be critical of men in books from the 19th century or whatever but it just leads to ripping out all of the nuance in favor of “Uh all of the Brontë men were evil and abusive and that’s all there is to those characters.” Say something interesting. I’m begging you

I might be poking at a bear here but I kinda really dislike the "all or nothing" attitude the WoF fandom has. This character is evil the worst piece of garbage imaginable or is secretly a great character and you're just a fool for thinking otherwise. It's ridiculous at times

Like I recall the stuff with Secretkeeper a while back. Now, call me crazy, but I don't think she's some horrifically abusive and neglectful parent. She did the best that she could. Was it great? No, but she was trying to keep her daughter safe in a hostile world that she was terrified would reject or, worse, hunt her. Her leaving Moon alone for days was bad, yes, but she wanted to keep Moon free from the horrors of the volcano. She loved Moon and clearly took care of her a lot. You can't just look at a character and paint them as being a "horrible abusive POS" for something that, let's be real here, is much more forgivable and understandable than anything Coral, Scarlet, Diamond, Cobra, Jerboa, or Kestrel did

I’m going insane over Kipperlilly Copperkettle she’s such an amazing character because yes she is selfish and absolutely very privileged and she glorifies trauma in a really unhealthy way that is shitty for everyone around her and her view on the world and adventuring is horribly skewed but also she is a teenage girl with anger issues who just desperately wants to be seen and she didn’t actually hurt anyone before spring break sophomore year and she lost her best and closest friend and she was trying to get help because she knew something wasn’t right and her character is just so

every time i say that c!dream isn't an evil person i feel like that one meme of the person waving their hands frantically to clarify 'because i don't believe anyone is inherently evil but that doesn't preclude them from being capable of doing evil'.

mfs will make one of the most interesting n nuanced characters uve ever spun in ur brain just to stuff them into a kids media n make them look like this:

one of my main gripes with the new clone high fandom and the interpretation of topher is that they act like he wouldnt have an alphabetized list of slurs memorized

[lunarmoontea]

Reading Book of Bill and just being like "Damn teenage me would've dissasembled someone on the molecular level for this triangular angst"

[bookshelfdreams]

the thing is though, as much as we all scream Ed did nothing wrong! at each other (and we're right, he didn't), the show itself, I think, does something much more interesting.

It asks us to forgive him.

Yes, he did terrible things. But we are asked to forgive him anyway. Not because he's very sad (although he is), not because he's pretty (he's so pretty), not because he had good reasons for everything he did (he had), not because the lasting damage is honestly neglectable (it is).

Not even because we are getting a very good look into his inner life, his issue, his trauma, his self-image (we do, and if that couldn't make you have empathy for him, why are you even here).

He deserves forgiveness, and healing and love. Just because. Because someone wants to give it to him, because he's worth it. Because sometimes we do fucked up, horrible things, and we are still people, we are allowed to come back from it, we are allowed to have a life after.

In-story, not everyone has to forgive him. Lucius is pissed at him, and that's okay. He's allowed to feel that way. But amid the worst of the pain and violence, Ed is never unsympathetic, because we are meant to forgive him, immediately, unconditionally. In-story, he's worthy of love, and I am so looking forward to him realizing that.

End of Empathy (time for violence)

i think in like 5-10 years post-canon kusuke is gonna be super chill and well-adjusted. he strikes me as the type of guy who seems really cool but then will casually mention some absolutely unhinged shit he did as a teenager

every day I thank Beth May for blessing me with an awfulgirl failloser that I can consistently and passionately go to bat for no matter what she does. every time I say “she’s never done anything wrong ever in her life” I mean it wholeheartedly even though I know she most definitely has. Scary Marlowe perfect character
