The thing that I find most frustrating about Lucas as a character is that his friends don't see the struggles he has to go through as a black boy in Hawkins, the show itself refuses to acknowledge the struggles he has to go through and then the fans not only ignore those struggles but him as a character completely.
He's such a good character too. He's complex, he grows so much and he is so aware and smart and compassionate... he's the best character on the show.

We all know and love zutara's Hades & Persephone parallels. Complimentary opposites constantly being misunderstood as a captor/victim- badboy/goodgirl- edgy/sunshine trope despite significant nuances; being torn between familial and spousal devotion; ruling over their kingdom as equally powerful forces of nature... Good good stuff.
But may I humbly suggest that we have been woefully neglecting the sheer dramatic potential of taang x Eros & Psyche.

I just finished Tulin's storyline and excuse me while I bawl about this game further cementing the fact that Revali made himself a Champion. He was no descendant of an ancient Sage nor did he have a loving family to train him (that we know of). There was no power destined to be his: he crafted his own version of wind control without any support or spiritual guidance and excelled at it and then he and the other Champions went into battle without the special helms, without a sacred tear/charm to further enhance his abilities, without the certainty of two rulers (and a sage from the future) with god-like powers that could back them up if things went awry. Because of this, the original Sages survived where the Champions did not.
Revali was doomed from the start and if he'd known he would've still honed his craft and piloted Medoh with his beak held high and I am in shambles about it

I miss when romances had pining and longing and uncertainty and friendship and nuance instead of instalove scenes with two scenes of characters staring across the room from each other in slow motion while dramatic music plays and then kissing maniacally and having sex in the next two seconds
I miss when characterization used to matter in how romances developed instead of making your characters make out as soon and passionately as possible so that a bunch of people could make gifsets of it
romance in stories today feels like how pop love songs are written nowadays, rehashed, impersonal, angsty, remixed, sweetened, surface, self-destructive, toxic, immature, brief, marketable and consumable
emotional manipulation that relies on overwhelm to make you feel something instead of sincerity. it is marked by falseness, thinking that’s what fantasy is, that’s what the escape is, when the true escape in any fantasy is silent, excruciating hope

Coworker: The last page of the newest chapter is god tier. Like Wallpaper worthy. You have to see it.
Coworker: *Sends full page panel featuring way too many unfamiliar elements*
Me: That's a whole lot going down compared to how little I understand what is up.
Me: I did manage to identify and isolate what I believe to be of centeral importance.
Coworker: Is it Rob Luc-
Me:
[The full piece is spread across two (2) full pages, contains twenty (20) characters - including pigeons - thirteen (13) speech bubbles, seven (7) of the most powerful men in the world , five (5) bad ass black coats, four (4) old white guys desperately attempting to cling to their power as the world government, an uncountable (??) number of potential questions I can't even begin to know to ask, and yet for all that only one (1) cocky, satisfied smirk that could cut straight through Dracule Mihawk completely untouched, steal Trafalgar Law's heart right out of his chest, and leaves Monkey D. Luffy entirely - err... "Too rigid to bend" .]
Full Panel (warning: contains all sorts of spoilers I can't even begin to realize are proper spoilers) Behind The Cut:
[Like I told you, just a crazy amount of shit I don't understand is happening. But what I do understand? How fucking aces Zoro looks. Also, how nicely placed that particular speech bubble is considering my boy definitely looks like he takes "psycho" as a compliment.]
