Respectfully, but a character can be and SHOULD BE allowed to be more than one thing without it being considered "contradictory", "retconning," or "negative character development."

#this is specifically about the people reacting to downfall going WOW WHAT IS TAL DOING WITH MELORA SHE WAS SO SWEET AND KIND #and WOW PELOR USED TO BE SO SWEET??#like no people contain multitudes #and it's common in EVERY FANDOM so I'm not tagging it as a specific fandom #because it feels like characters get sanded down to one or two core traits #and anything not related to that either gets ignored or considered a retcon or the writers/players/actors not knowing the character #like going back to CR i saw some people reacting to Tal's VERY COMPLEX view of ashton's contradictory views on his feelings for fearne #as tal not understanding his own character and i'm like omfg have you never been a self-hating person who wants something they're scared #that they can't have??#are you all seriously just One Thing all the time #LET CHARACTERS HAVE THEIR NUANCE #STOP CLAIMING IT'S OOC OR RETCONNING OR BAD WRITING WHEN A CHARACTER IS COMPLEX #I AM GOING TO EAT A ROCK #this isn't even getting into this with my other fandoms #like oh this character did something shitty one time they are now completely defined by that shitty act #and any further kindness is just trying to cover up the shitty thing they did #how dare they #JUST HHNNGSDHSJKJ I AM SO ANNOYED BY THIS #STOP IT #WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

me agreeing with takes that talk about how much the movie ruined Sejanus’ character while also enjoying fanon content that goes more with his movie version:

#sejanus plinth #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #i contain multitudes #also enjoying wildly different and often contradicting takes on a character it’s something I’ve always done #so it’s not hard for me to separate one from the other #like I can recognize and even be upset about how much the movie took away from his character and wish it had been different #and at the same time still enjoy the version of the character that was portrayed in the movie #maybe that’s just me tho and that’s alright #*

Hi GT,

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I absolutely love the recs you've given (you've introduced me to tomione, and I love it!) and I was wondering if it's possible to give you some recs in return? There are some books and fics that definitely have dramione / got vibes, and I was wondering if I could share them with you!

So glad you've enjoyed them! Feel free to rec me anything you want. I've read most of the classic recs in terms of fic and adjacent content (Cruel Prince et al), but I'll try anything that's well-written. My tastes run towards weird and/or audaciously creative stuff, and I can forgive a lot of weaknesses in plot on the grounds of (1) ambition or (2) character work. My turnoffs are instalove, protagonists who can't fail, and most Y/A (I'm not a hater, I swear, I just need characters who can say "fuck" when their leg gets chopped off.)

I'm also a fan of weird and fucked-up dynamics.(Wuthering Heights was my favorite book for a while, and as a teenager I wrote an AU in which the book ends on a long sex scene where Heathcliff fucks Cathy's ghost and then immediately gets murdered by Catherine 2.) Obviously, I am very normal.

#greenteacup asks #my beef with Y/A is mostly expressed in a dissonance between tone and content #LOVE the content. dystopia fantasy horror sex and blood — awesome. but question. why are they all saying 'darn'?#like in the vampire diaries where they'll watch people get eaten and then 2 episodes later be like 'omg SCHOOL DANCE'#(EDIT: actually in fairness. on the vampire diaries. it was mostly just caroline that did that. unfair example my apologies)#& i distinguish this critique from a common bitch-and-moan complaint about tv shows being interested in 'girly' things #like relationships and social standing. that is not my complaint. that shit is delicious. i will chomp that shit for days #my issue is that when the stakes oscillate wildly from episode to episode and i can't tell what the main thing is #like sorry. a story with murder in it is always going to be about murder. you can't make it not about murder #unfortunately! many have tried.#and in general i have difficulty reading about teenagers bc—#(she says having written 600k words about them OKAY I KNOW. i contain multitudes.)#because they're either mini-adults (preferred flavor. jude in the cruel prince nails this) or like leetol babies to me #and unless it's something like the hunger games where the Leetol Baby thing is part of the story #i'm like. hang on. you're 12 what are you doing here #percy jackson was hard for me to re-read as an adult for this reason #which is why they're enjoyable for teenagers! because as a teenager you DO feel like an adult #and you like reading books that treat you like one! nothing wrong with that! healthy even!#only then you get past the teenage years (mashallah) and you get stuff like twilight #where of COURSE bella doesn't think twice about 117 year old man falling in love with her #because he looks like a rich mysterious 17-year-old hottie #but you reread it later and it's like um well. that. could be explored a little more maybe.#i'm not even necessarily opposed to it. candidly. still team edward. i just think the dynamic should be more fucked up and juicy.#which Y/A authors are often reluctant to do. like. COWARDS! face the nasty consequences of your narrative decisions!#anyhow. you didn't ask for any of this. please give me your recs lovely person you seem very nice.

AZ was unhealthily attached to Floette in the same way Xan was unhealthily attached to AZ 💔 it just happens to be easier to tell when you're on the receiving end of this behavior vs. when you're the one perpetrating it 😔

#hope talks #Xanthos #a scene i keep envisioning is like...#'Xan's clinginess becomes so intolerable to AZ that he ends up berating Xan about it'#(and of course its completely understandable why Xan's clinginess is an issue it's really really bad for both of them)#(but you know. its the issue of AZ going about addressing it in the worst possible way he could 😭 it coming out in a moment of frustration #rather than a desire to have an actual conversation...(#and when Floette attempts to comfort Xan... AZ calls her away from him!#of course for AZ it's like... 'you don't have to worry about him. he'll be fine'#but there's also an underlying childish 'you're MY friend. not his!!'#i really like the idea that AZ loves Floette and their friendship/sibling relationship is the most important thing in the world to him #but there were also times where he was a bad friend to her 💔 which is something a bit... inevitable! unfortunate as that is #it's impossible for something to be good all the time even if overall #it was a positive relationship for both of them...#Floette is Very patient and Very forgiving which are traits both her brothers lack 😭#(but don't get it twisted she can be petty and childish too... she contains multitudes!)

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FORGIVE ME FOR WHAT I AM, IT'S MY FIRST TIME BEING ALIVE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING

heres the version without all the effects. it looks like a homestuck character.

im gonna be honest i have no fucking idea what im doing here or what the hell i even wanted to convey but the shapes are good and it fucks so i ran with it

#ray's tag #keys' art #undescribed #eyestrain #caps lock #this one is about. actually i dont know what this one is about #something to do with containing endless multitudes and feeling like youre bursting with life to the point that you're divine #but also at the same time that is very much a powerful dangerous thing #which is funny because in real life we are very well. ordinary. and chill #but yeah #i like the colors i put into this. full saturation for everything baybee #sixth grade me would be in AWE at this rn

love songs are truly the easiest thing in the world to write. Which is remarkable considering im

AROMANTIC

#ari opinion hour #like girl what #theyre just. SO EASY. probably not what most people would expect to hear given the description 'love song' but that doesnt #make them something other than what they are #anyway. slow version of something i wrote got me thinking about this. So much of my backlog is just love song after love song #i contain multitudes #ohh also if ur reading this i say 'love song' mostly bc thats the category id put it in tbh #like its the convention yk

me: we can’t possibly know who every song is about and even if we could it’s a boring way to look at art

me: wonderland is 100% about Diana though

#I contain multitudes!!!!!!!!!!#like it’s v funny bc I get annoyed by muse discourse but then there is wonderland like come on #I think it’s less that muse stuff annoys me and it’s more it annoys me when someone treats people who think something different than they #do like they are stupid

Small drawing collection of my latest creation Emran as a teenager/freshly minted Air Acolyte, for my dear partner in unhinged OC shenanigans @katkastrofa, as promised <3

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #original character #I need to figure out a way to tag these guys #like with renny and dori I just put sotrl in front of their names and that works #but emran is technically an LaF character. though not uniquely tied to that verse. and idk what to do with Ila and Alasie #maybe I need to have some unique oc tag or smth. I’ll figure it out #if you’re wondering why I stayed up until half past 7 a.m to draw this it’s because I needed some way to cool down #after the kuviren smut absolutely broke my brain #and what better way to do that than by drawing my sweet baby boy?#yes lmao he went from baby girl to baby boy in like 24 hours. fucking sue me #but actually. actually!! they’re both. they contain multitudes :)#they probably haven’t even realised that at this point and are still in disguise #convinced that she’ll be punished for her deceit if anyone found out that she’s actually a girl #(okay off topic but the switching pronouns are really fun lmao)#but give them time. they’ll figure it out soon enough. in these pieces they’re slowly getting used to temple life #and that is the first step to self acceptance #I’m actually extremely proud of these. especially the one with the apple basket. I feel like the androgynous vibes are really there #and he looks like his brother the most in it #but the others are fun too. I loved doing the portrait. I should do them more often #and.. I will admit. I traced the lemur. I can barely draw people okay how do you expect me to draw animals #but I just think that Aiza would really love a little lemur friend #animals don’t judge and she doesn’t have to watch herself around them. she can just be. plus the lemurs are really cute <3 #I want to eventually do a companion to this with Aiza instead. maybe from back before she ran away #probably something based on reflection from Mulan too bc the vibes are there. though.. to be completely honest #I’d say they have a lot more of Shurochka Azarova’s vibes than Mulan. but that’s just my love for Soviet cinema taking over #it’s essentially if mulan fought napoleon instead. and when discovered instead of left to die they promoted her to lieutenant 😁#I realise the comparison is completely incomprehensible to everyone but me but.. go watch the hussar ballad. it’s free on YouTube with subs #okay enough rambling. i shall now go to bed. @ Kat I hope this brightens up your morning at least somewhat. I love you!!

someone way down here (loses someone dear)

@wtfanworkclassification stage 13: prompt -> nerve (165 words)

also on ao3.

it's the little things that wout notices.

when asked directly, jonas will swear up and down he isn't nervous - and he probably means it. but wout has five years' experience reading jonas vingegaard like a book, and what he sees doesn't always match what jonas says.

the little intake of breath before they take a descent. the way jonas adjusts his hat, his zipper, the hem of his jersey when he thinks no one is watching. more recently: the constant fiddling with his fingers. or - one finger in particular.

it's not like the relationship was ever a secret, in the peloton, just that jonas is private by nature and tadej- well. wout could say a thing or two about that, about late night phone calls and jonas's voice, clearly holding back tears. never thought i'd be something he'd be ashamed of, he'd said, and broken wout's heart clean in two.

on the presentation stage, tadej beams. beside wout, jonas fiddles with his bare ring finger.

#the power of the tadejonas divorce arc compels me #i think this makes sense? word counts are a bitch (she says having done this to herself)#wout watches his best friend flirt with. date. propose to. marry. and then divorce his biggest rival and can do nothing to stop it #this poor man lives in a constant state of “i told you so” while also being willing to set the whole world on fire to keep jonas warm #he contains multitudes okay #what if i wrote something #wtfisakilometer

sam reid's voice is just fucking insane. i haven't heard him sing i don't know if he sings but if he does i will be dead immediately upon the first note. it's also incredibly perfect for lestat. like. the fuck.

#bluebird.txt #the casting for this show is fucking insane they were like quick find actors who might actually be part mythical creature #he was definitely a siren in a past life or something #this is gonna sound sexy but it's NOT i am not sexually attracted to that man i just really respect his coolness #his voice just has this rich quality to it??? it's just a little too heavy but also it's very soothing at the same time???#works great for the manipulator that lestat is #he contains multitudes!!!#interview with the vampire

jing yuan and yanqing are giving zhongli and xiao if the latter’s canon relationship was Actually fanon’s made up father figure/adopted child dynamic

#idkkkkkkkkkkkkk who looks at zx and is like 'you know what. this is a healthy parent child relationship'#like girl by fitting them into father son boxes you are actively making their relationship imbalance Worse #if you do that and dont shy away from it i respect that but if you say dad/son makes their relationship more wholesome or whatever like WHY #now i wont deny shippers might do that too but i see the dad son version so much i think im just averse to it by default #also because i think father son makes people actively Try to make their relationship something that its not and it erases a bunch of subtlet #subtleties in it. it's the nuanced r/ship -> entirely unproblematic and flavorless r/ship that i hate #also the number of people who'll block if you ship zx. like damn thats crazy you guys really think theyre father son (fake)???#at their peak they're like. 4000 year old guys who have too much history and repression and some weird entanglement of 'nah im bothering him #too much' and 'gotta protect him w my life' complexes. and then this devolves into theyre never gonna kiss until 3000 more years have passed #listen they just Contain Multitudes idc if you dont ship it just dont make it into dad and son and we will be so gucci #jing.yuan and yanqing are like different i think mostly bc yanqing is actually like a minor and jing yuan is also a normal ish person #plus the light cone and the abouts?? yeah this is an actual like adopted parent/child thing #also good or bad news i caved and am now playing hsr. the plan is to pull yanqing and then go on infinite hiatus in the game 👍#JWKFLJWEK i dont think theres really any draws for me besides him. personally neutral on turn based combat and the open world isn't giving #the only saving grace i have rn is 1) ive gotten to the part where bron.seele is real and man theyre gay 2) trailblazer trio 3) tall female #mc 4) everyone has way better emoting abilities than genshin 5) su.shang's really cute <3 #the story doesnt really interest me though its like cool but not mindgrippingly interesting #tbf i think genshin is the same way storyline wise (at the beginning) but the difference is that turn based combat isnt really my thing LMAO #ramblings!#zhongxiao #if you want to filter it out ??

about to go sleepyy but. Insane Kenix Thoughts (Again! An Another Time!) (How Many Fucking Times!— ^_^)

Something about Kenix comforting Sora the day she joined the sins crew while she was full on crying and confused at everything surrounding her. Something about him Resonating with a child's helplessness, offer a warm embrace to hold onto. Did you see your own past self in that girl? The days where you were left all alone in the dark, being able to only weep and wonder why everything around you was like this. Yet you had no one's shoulder to cry onto. You had no one by your side, and now you have decided to be that someone for an another lost kid. Have you seen your own desperation in that child, wanting to help her because deep down you know how scarring this situation is for her? To seek comfort despite the unknown environment, because you wanted someone to let you know it is safe?

Have you wanted to save someone from what you had to endure yourself because you just knew how deeply terrifying it must all be to experience such loneliness at a young age? Have you just wanted to not let someone else go through what you had to? Have you just wanted to show the lost child that compassion that you didn't get yourself when you needed it the most.

#Something Something he makes me Incredibly ill. I can't.#this is how you become a father! (Accidentally!) (By presenting yourself as a safe and a parent-like figure to a child who needed comfort!)#yomo ocs?!#ocs #this is like a mini rant because i am still writing for that ask enabling me to talk about azranix ^_^#kenix may be deemed merciless. But he still shows care for others. So many of his actions are rooted in his care for others' wellbeing.#Yes a lot of his actions are terrible and cannot be excused. But most. If not All. Of his interactions with others in the sins crew #Are so deeply rooted in his concern for them and their health. At first you won't even realize but then you learn it and look back at it #and just think “Wow he genuinely cared about them despite never stating it or making it obvious”#“Oh it is part of my plan ^_^” no i think we all know you tried your best to ensure that your little girl was safe because of That.#this is not part of your mastermind ass plan you genuinely just care about the kid but your facade now has you thinking that this is not-#Important. When it clearly Is. Sora's safety is important to you. Everyone's safety is important to you to some degree.#do not Even Try to lie about it. You may contain multitudes within yourself but this has always been the absolute truth.#You have always cared to some extent. That was the only thing you have managed to do out of free will Kenix. shaking and bitimg..
