tfw you want to write up a proper post detailing What the Fuck about a particular thing about a character, but you're too exhausted and out of sorts to figure out the best way to format it and you'd rather make an actual concise, relatively coherent post instead of just reblogging it over and over with 'jesus fucking christ'

#LL tag #this post brought to you by adam using his intimate knowledge of a cult victim's religious trauma to shame him for being suicidal #by calling him 'a weakling' and not a real member of his race for it #after saying in his narration that it's explicitly and categorically impossible for him to be depressed because of his race #just straight up 'being suicidal is a sin and if you do it you're a filthy sinner who will go to hell' shit #because threats and other emotional manipulation aren't as effective if he doesn't care about giving up or dying #and then talks about 'leaning on him with one last question when i can see he's most vulnerable'#and the authors treating this as like mildly edgy moral dubiousness instead of a despicable thing to do #even by what should be his own goals and standards; and then having the gall to act like he's being ~compassionate and giving him a chance~#and trying to ~change him~ by telling him.............. that there's nothing wrong with being what the cult would consider 'weak'#and then chalking it up to rex's morals being 'in his blood' (jesus fucking christ lmao) when he tries to stonewall him #is just. something. it is really fucking something #adam is a piece of work miles above and beyond what the creators intended him to be #and the things he does get called on and makes any indication of being sorry for or trying to change do not even slight make a dent #in the depths of the truly evil shit that he believes. even when he tries to kill ella he blames it on being a mogadorian #instead of taking responsibility for MAKING THAT CHOICE HIMSELF. and then ella immediately goes 'no ur fine i was rooting for u lol'#and the others' response to this is to talk about how ~it's not nature you can choose to be more like us than you think~#instead of going 'YEAH SO. THAT WASN'T IN YOUR NATURE BUDDY. OWN THE FUCK UP'#and his idea of taking that to heart is 'awesome maybe it /is/ possible to torture them into changing. don't GAF if they suffer though'#and also he has demonstrated drooling over the idea of getting to torture other mogs to death in ways tailored to them specifically #& also says ~compassionately~ and p directly that he has hopes he'll eventually be able to torture his little sister into loving him again #anyway yeah please keep him away from rex and every other mog forever #LL crit tag #fuck off adam #dyn: but i'm helping you anyway #racism cw #torture cw #suicide cw #religious abuse cw
