Kind of weird seeing people say that Eddie hasn't technically cheated on Marisol. Not sure what you would call going on a date with another woman when you are supposed to be exclusive with someone else, but it is emotional infidelity at the very best. He sees Shannon in this woman; it doesn't matter if he doesn't know Kim, he's already emotionally invested in her. But beyond that, it's like... this is unjustifiable behavior. What Eddie is doing is understandable, due to the trauma of losing Shannon, but it's unjustifiable, and that's the whole point. Eddie is not a hero. He is also not a villain. He's just a man, and I think it does an enormous disservice to his character to try and excuse his behavior because that excuse furthers the idea that "he's perfect" and "this isn't like him." This isn't like him, but not because he's perfect—it's not like him because he has a strong moral compass that's faltering in the face of being severely triggered by what he believes is a once in a lifetime opportunity to start over. Again, his reasoning is completely understandable, but for all intents and purposes, Eddie Diaz is a cheater. He's not a serial cheater. He probably won't even do it again after this storyline is over, but he is a cheater, and it would be nice (/gen) if sections of this fandom would allow him the space to "be" that.
Eddie's cheating doesn't change the kind of man he is intrinsically, it just adds another layer to his depth and that's the thing I think people are getting stuck on. This is not a situation that can be viewed through the dichotomous black or white lens consumers of media + stories have grown so attached to. It's not "Eddie is a good man, therefore he's not cheating" or "Eddie is a bad man, of course he's cheating." It's "Eddie is a good man. He's also cheating" and that's the point of the story (as far as audience interaction goes). His nuance and depth is the part that causes people to sit with and understand and question their own stances on duality and morality. We've known Eddie for six seasons. We know what kind of man he is when everything is "right." We even know what kind of man he is when things are happening to him. Now we get to sit with and explore what kind of man he is when he's making his own foul decisions, and that's a really important part of viewer interaction that deserves to be taken seriously rather than simplified and boxed away.
also gojo's internet famous but not because of his looks or anything. it's because he's does asmr food reviews. he mainly films himself eating desserts from small, local businesses, but occasionally, he does some street stalls and food chains too. his comments mainly consist of 'it's all yours dawg it ain't going anywhere' and he's been dubbed 'the throat goat'.
there's one clip of his that went viral where he's filming a video in his classroom whilst he's supposed to be teaching. it's not even him that goes viral, it's megumi who's in the background getting pestered by nobara and yuuji and it just gets progressively worse and worse until megumi snaps and the video ends with him making fists and screaming "with this treasure i summon".
gojo's eyes widen, and he picks up his phone, mouth full of food, and starts running whilst trying to end the video.
good night and sweet dreams to people who…(tf2 edition)
• don’t infantilize pyro js bc they act childish, they are a mentally ill adult, not a child
• don’t limit scout’s character to “annoying twink” and acknowledge that there’s a reason for his actions
• don’t act like it’s weird for people to be attracted to pyro(romantic or sexual idc) when they’re an entire adult, their mental illnesses don’t mean they’re a child
• don’t ignore the fact that all of these guys are mentally ill in some capacity and are war vets WHO HAVE TRAUMA
• respect people who ship a pair even if they don’t agree with it(not referring to [male character] x miss pauling)
• and lastly, people who don’t erase the queer rep that is clearly in the comics/games/etc<3
I am going to fight everyone who has turned Sherlock Holmes into this edgy, rude, arse of a character. This man is kind, caring, sympathetic, and knows how to interact with people (even if he'd prefer to avoid doing so).
I get the whole genuis-who- can't -relate- to -the -way- normal -people- function, but y'know what, he's not condescending about it. He doesnt necessarily think himeself to be above the masses. He admits to being beaten without throwing a tantrum about it.
Being a genuis doesn't mean or necessitate being cold and unfeeling
I love perfect court AU stuff if for no other reason than Kevin and Jean are like 6’2” and Neil is 5’3” but he is 100% always more willing to start and finish a fight than them
