#he's not very likable is he?

[lgbtlunaverse]

Most annoying NMJ or JC take is when someone that dislikes them is like "oh you're a fan of him? *scoff* Well obviously you've only seen cql, where he was super watered down. In the novel he's a dislikable asshole and that's the objectively superior canon I'm working from instead of your woobified fanfic." Meanwhile your main canon is novel canon and you genuinely find novel Jiang Cheng and Nie Mingjue complex sympathetic characters.

i like it better when u cant keep warm

okay, one thing about james. he is the only marauder (casting peter aside) who i just can't forgive. i like remus, and while i dislike sirius i can at least appreciate his strenghts and his good sides. but i can't forgive james for the swm incident and many people seem to have trouble understanding why this isolated event ruins his entire character. because i am willing to believe that he worked on himself and became a better person after hogwarts (mainly because i don't think lily would have ever married him otherwise). i completely believe that even at hogwarts, he was considered a likable person by many. that he was fun to be around and friendly to most. that he wasn't all bad or only a bully.

but here's the thing. there are things you only have to do once to be irredeemable, and what happened in snapes worst memory, to me, is one of those things. i do not care if james was an amazing person outside of this one incident. and i understand that everyone has different morals and that other people can forgive james - or not forgive severus. unlike james, severus got a chance to redeem himself and he took it. he was still a bully, but here's where my personal perception comes into play again. i had many awful teachers who were bullies and i know how much it sucks (in my country, teachers are insanely hard to get fired, meaning they truly can get away with almost anything including obvious discrimination). i can't justify his mistreatment of students, but to me his good sides outweigh it, so i can forgive and like him despite this flaw while others can not which is valid too. but sexual harassment is not something i can forgive no matter the circumstances or the person who did it. i would feel the same way if the roles had been reversed and james had been the victim - i wouldn't be a snape stan. ultimately we all have our own individual morals that play into how we perceive these complex characters.

tldr: it doesn't matter to me if james was a balanced character and a good person outside of swm because committing sexual harassment 'just once' is still one time too many and makes anyone permanently irredeemable in my eyes

You gave Machete the sweetest smile in that last piece. All that icy Catholic armor stripped away for a sec, lit up like a kid. Just love it. The charm is unreal.

Thank you! ;_;

[whenthegoldrays]

might get canceled for this but I think it’s funny how people are like “ohh North and South 2004 has flaws but I still love it because Richard Armitage 🤩” and I’m like huh. interesting. I love it despite Richard Armitage.

"Stop taking away the features that make Jiang Cheng interesting!" JC antis cry, whilst simultaneously ignoring or denying all his good traits.

[hearts-hunger]

do you ever have a problem with a person that everybody else seems to love and get along with, but you're pretty sure this is a legitimate problem you have with this person in that you don't get along and they're not nice to you, and it feels like the world is gaslighting you into thinking that person is not as rude to you as they definitely are

[snowpuff79]

I'm okay with whoever Kamala Harris picks as VP but I don't like that a nonzero percentage of people being pro-Shapiro is negative polarization against people being pro-Walz and vice versa like will we ever escape the 2016 Democratic primary or nah?

didn’t have duke and damian become the closest siblings on my bingo card but i’m definitely here for it

[rigginsstreet]

the duffers casually throwing a reagan/bush sign on the wheelers front lawn is wild because like you know theyre just establishing the fact that the wheelers are an (upper) middle class suburban conservative family typical of the era but because these are two cishet white men they have zero wherewithal of the implications of what this means for other characters within their own universe its so fucking tone deaf that it borders on comedy cuz like... what is this? what else am i supposed to think about the reaganite family as a person with even the most modest understanding of US history other than these people are villains. and you want me to think theyre heroes. be so serious right now
