Maybe I'm the problem.
Maybe I'm the problem.
Maybe I'm the problem
Maybe I'm the problem
Maybe I'm the problem
Maybe I'm the problem
Maybe I've always been the problem
Maybe it was me.
It's was me
It was me
It was me
It was me
I'm the problem
I'm the problem
I'm the problem
I'm the problem
Me
Me
Me
Me
Me
Me
Me
It always was me....
My inability to heal from the trauma
It made me into the problem
They created.
I'm the problem...

Man, such casual sexism people drop on a daily.
I just had some contractors come and install a new garage door and the guy was explaining how to maintain it when he was done.
It went like this: "you're married right? Your husband must keep this type of oil around ask him to apply it here or buy X type from homedepot."
Or, my lawn guy: "you didn't call me this summer, I thought you finally got married" which- wow, so much to unpack there.
They don't even realize it. Assuming I'm married is one thing- most people buy homes as a married couple. But man, that's not even relevant in your work. At all. You talk to a child this way ("tell your dad to do this okay? Don't forget!"). But women? Geez. God forbid I pick up a battle of anti rust oil from the hardware store.

on marius' personal sweet chapter stories.....i just wanna talk about The Thing these stories (both sweet chapter story 1 and 2) are Doing and how it makes me really emotional cuz like
in marius' sweet chapter 1 story: we see marius and mc help out timmy through his grief of having recently lost his older brother. throughout the entire thing, marius struggles with his own emotions and feelings about giann's disappearance.
in marius' sweet chapter 2 story: we see that in marius' efforts to protect pax and the von hagen name so that giann will have a good standing to return to once he's found, marius finds himself inevitably having a hand in firing kenji, who takes the fall protect marius. kenji, whom marius sees as an older brother figure to him as well.
whats going on in both these stories: marius' emotions and fears being prodded at, even to the point of intense anger in sweet chapter 2, because the events make him go through whats essentially a secondhand experience of losing a brother.
in terms of this possibly being foreshadowing, i feel very "ONE FEAR" about it all because it's uhhhhh not looking good for giann von hagen ;-;
but in terms of characterization and story, i feel elated because it's these kinds of stories that really show off marius' character, especially the traits and feelings that he tries to hide or sweep under the rug.
in sweet chapter 1, marius consistently brushes off mc worrying about his feelings and then, once he does finally talk about his feelings, he does so in a very emotionally detached kind of way (i wrote more in depth about marius and emotional distancing in this analysis here).
to emotionally distance one's self is, one way or another, a method by which to avoid confronting something head on. timmy's experience paralleling marius' own worries and life is something that marius is afraid of tackling. because thats family hes talking about. and family means the world to him.
in sweet chapter 2, the revelation that kenji did what he did to protect marius got marius absolutely enraged the moment it became clear kenji, an older brother figure to marius, sacrificed himself for marius' sake. thats something that terrifying for marius, because thats not how it's supposed to go, for him. hes the one whos supposed to be protecting people, to shoulder the responsibility so others can get out unscathed, hes the one who needs to take on these burdens not because of pride or anything, but because he wants people to stop getting hurt because of him.
other people getting hurt for marius' sake is one of marius' biggest fears. it pops up so often in all his stories, either the fear itself and/or the measures he takes to prevent other people getting hurt: his childhood guilt over thinking he caused his mother's death (SSR All Through The Night), him moving to florence for his studie so that austin and giann wouldnt get bad press about the whole pax civil war succession thing (SSR Precious Mornings), him worried about causing a man's suicide (SSR Daytime Aurora), him guilty over his friend who got hurt in his name (SR Vibrant Graffiti) like my god, and those are just the ones off the top of my head!!!!
he even says this outright in the story, right after the confrontation with kenji
Tumblr media
to marius, kenji taking the fall for him is another person who got hurt because of him. and the fact that he did it willingly to protect marius makes it worse, because thats such an older brother thing to do isnt it? marius saw him as family. family means the world to him.
but marius did not want to be the cause for another person having to suffer, and for another person having to be gone, in a way.
sweet chapter 1 showed us grief from the perspective of a younger brother whose older brother passed away.
sweet chapter 2 showed us an older brother sacrificing himself for a younger brother and having to leave because of that.
now remember what i said about secondhand experiences paralleling onto marius' life and his own worries about giann? yeah. like, no wonder marius got so affected, upset, and emotional in both these stories;
he doesnt want to say goodbye.

youre absolutely right <3. yes id love suna-nii to choke me and play with my little clit til i cry, hut i wouldnt want my actual brother to do that.
and that’s so normal,, the human brain is so complex and has so many funny little wrinkles, and we fantasise about things that tickle our boundaries more often than not. taboo topics are hot. instead of denying its a thing and sweeping female sexuality under the rug, maybe we can just,,, yk,, let people enjoy their corner of the internet ?? (⁼̴̀ૢ꒳​⁼̴́ૢ๑) and if you don’t like it, avert your eyes or smt?? bc we’re over here having a great time imagining our fictional big brothers knuckle deep in our pussy so

Disorder disorder. Why must you fail me so.
Its so annoying that like. I can have a 2 day flashback and then just forget entirely about it and go "yeah so that trauma literally cant have happened" shut the fuck up. It did. It happened. And it probably happened a lot. If this was just a one time event we wouldnt have at minimum 2 people holding the trauma of it. Unless of course everything else is also really fucked up but either way shit fucking happened to us. We cant just sweep this under the rug. Now is the best time to address it. Lets think about it. Lets consider all avenues. When did it happen? Where did it happen? Is this two+ isolated events? Or was it one repeat event? Or did it only happen once? Was it the church we went to? Was it that group trip we went on? Was it family? We seem to have a mental block on all three of those for a reason. Which one of them did this specific thing to us though? There has to be a reason we have such a bad religious trauma response and no memory of ever holding a religion. What happened there? Why cant you remember a face or voice or a single word said by whoever was in charge? But you can remember the other kids... why? You know you were there for years, right? Years. And you dont remember it. That has to mean something. The parking lot did always confuse you. Maybe theres a reason. Maybe theres a reason. Why are your memories trying so hard to change themselves right now? You see that too right? They're changing. They're hiding something. I wholeheartedly believe it happened there. Why else do you think Bee is so obsessed with morality? Why else does she taunt us like that? What power dynamic is she imitating? Of course something happened there. Of course we had to insist on going to church... of course we insisted it would be good for us... and we did stop wanting to, didnt we. Do you remember what we were told when we asked to stop going? We were told we wanted this. We asked for this. This is what we wanted. So we kept going. We did ask for this after all. When do you think he had the time to do it? I mean, if he had to take you all the way out of the building, when did he have the time? Stop doubting me. Listen to me. Listen. This is real. This happened. We need to get to the bottom of this. Maybe it didnt happen at church, maybe. But something did. And we have to figure something out.
Fuck. I lost it all. Another time I guess...

Jason getting pragmatic and daaark, haha! Now THIS is a scene I would definately read over and over a million times, if it was fully written. How did the whole convo and (hypocritical) argument go? Did Peter manage to convince Jason that his position isn't in danger (probably)? Or did it leave a permanent rift between the two? Me loves some total drama action! By the by, did Stanhope get exposed or was he able to sweep it under the rug? What happened to him after the Frikoskii takeover?
Jason noticed it even before they got together, that Peter could make literally anyone fall for him. Regardless if it was only for sex, apparently he could make anyone love him. Not like he does, though. Jason’s love runs deep and spiritual. It’s why he believes in a god. But for everyone else it’s still just as threatening to his position. Him marrying Peter seemed completely impossible for 20+ years but now that it’s happened he’s gotten more territorial.
Jason one day made a comment towards Peter about how Stanhope looks at him with some “fuck me” eyes for a married republican. It threw Peter off because it’s been a few years since they last hooked up and he hadn’t payed attention to how Stanhope saw him since. So he offhandedly mentioned that they may of been a thing at one point. A “thing” is too much of a stretch, it was just hookups with some transactions here and there, but clearly one man caught feelings while the other was indifferent.
God Jason was PISSED. For multiple reasons. Which initially Peter thought Jason was saying he cheated, which he did not. Never did never will. But Jason’s mad cause how the fuck did a 66 year old man have sex with his husband before he did, why didn’t Peter ever tell him about this, and now he’s self conscious cause clearly the guy has no problems with how someone looks and people are already running after him. It’s just a bunch of insecurities, anger, jealousy, the whole lot. None of it makes sense to Peter cause he thought that he was making it clear that there wasn’t any strings attached to the man and that it was the past so who gives a shit. Plus how could Jason POSSIBLY think that he’d leave him for anyone, especially Stanhope of all people.
I wouldnt say it left a rift but after Anahii, Meredith, and Stanhope Jason is left really dejected and feeling like a last resort. I don’t even think he fully believes that Peter is gay. It takes communication and reassurance but the actual rift takes place with Jason acting like his flings don’t do the same thing to his husband. It’s hypocrisy even if it’s not malicious. It’s a source of their arguments. Even if you guys are perfect soulmates and known each other for years getting into a romantic relationship that entails some extra benefits isn’t easy and doesn’t come naturally.
As for Stanhope, early retirement when shit went down with Frikoski taking over and he fled with his wife and kids. He’s off grid after that. I will say he probably didn’t truly love Peter, just looooooved fucking him. But…

Okay, so basic rundown: Arcane is now canon. I think Riot is moving away from short stories to explore other mediums. Don’t quote me on this, I just know the broad strokes and I’m sure someone can explain better.
Tumblr media
mkay im dumb i always thought that Arcane was canon? like it was nonsensical once you put it together with the league of legends lines but HAHA im ringing my 'im stupid' bell. see this is why you shouldnt listen to anything i say i have no motives-
Tumblr media
they are moving away from the short stories??? woah thats... a pity, actually. Im not the type of person that reads a lot of them but i normally do of characters i like and care about. I know Milio is not that recent anymore, but his short story felt heartwarming and very nice to read. It also had some illustrations.
I dont understand why would they do that. I assume that by other mediums they probably mean audiovisuals like teasers or something like that, maybe audio stories like Legends of Bilgewater or whatever the name was, i cant remember correctly. Wich it isnt bad its just... dissapointing they would say that they want to move away. If there's going to be comics like then i would be uttterly dissapointed but hey, at least i would be happy they're giving a job to writers and artists, they very much deserve and need it.
its saddening i just dont undertsand why they would take down a feature most people like about the characters they are interested on...? bruh
Tumblr media
dont worry i wont quote you on this one but i will say that if all of this turns out to be just like that, i wouldnt be not even a bit surprised. Its no secret Riot has been ruining and pissing over their own characters re writting them and fixing shit that never needed to be repaired by starters and making the whole lore more confusing and nonsensical with a bunch of plot holes, wich i assume is going to happen if they make Arcane canon. This has been like this for almost 5 or more years, the lore keeps getting worse and worse and the only things that mattered to fandom will dissapear if all this turns true.
the whole 'guys but look we got a new CEO and we SWEAR he's amazing!' its getting hard to read at this point because a macro company is trying to sell us that this guy is going to improve everything with just a finger, like if thats going to stop or even reconsider the oversexualization of female characters, objetification and the plainest of characters coming out of their hands getting worse and worse as the lore is tearing apart and the community is a fire pit with the worst incel playerbase i have ever seen.
The way they phrased one of the tweets about this new CEO in the past being the backbone of the Pride events made me wheeze cause the way it was written made me imagine the guy entering the meeting like 'hey guys you know homosexuals exists? we should do something about it' as if it was a medal to have a pride event when its the leastest shit you can do for a game at this point. At least make good lgtbq+ stories instead of selling the exact same icons for years and sweeping trans taliyah under the rug. God i hate this company and its writing.
see? things where better when institute of war was there. they are just a bunch of guys hanging out in empty space. fuck it that rocks

Question: Why didn't the company fire that evil female snake director earlier? Cant believe it took the company this long to fire her.
I was looking at her work history profile at the site.
If this wasnt company red flag:
She started as a specialist one year, then promoted year after year. Till the director. But each director position held for prior companies the duration was only 8 months to a year. Why is that? There is a reason why the director has held this position for more than 5 years. So she lasted with this company for 1 year few months minus the FMLA leave of absence which in her case taking SHAMELESS SELFIES ONLINE, POSTING QUOTES THIS COMEBACK IS PERSONAL. COMEBACK IS THAT YOUR FIREDD BITCH!!!
HOW MANY PEOPLE I SPOKE TO SO THRILLED ABOUT IT?
REAL TIME REPONSES:
ITS ABOUT FUCKING TIME
KARMA IS A BITCH ISNT IT
YOU GET WHAT YOU DERSERVE
A JUMP FOR YES, AS A TOUCHDOWN ON A FOOTBALL OR BASKETBALL TEAM
BITCH IS FINALLY GONE
CANT WAIT TILL HER BEST FRIEND SUPERVISOR IS FIRED AND TERMINATED
WAS SHE INVESTIGATED? HOPE THEY FOUND ALOT SHADY SHIT SHE WAS DOING BEHIND PEOPLE BACK. THE POWER/TITLE OF ABUSE OF HER DIRECTOR ROLE
MY THING ..WHEN SHE WAS ON LEAVE ON ABSENCE, NEXT STEP IN TITLE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO ALL YOUR EMAILS AND PRESIDENTS WILL HAVE MORE ACCESS TO MORE THINGS. DID THEY FIND SHADY DOCUMENTATION SHE WAS DOING GETTING PEOPLE FIRED, GETTING PEOPLE TO QUIT? DID THE COMPANY FIND THAT SHE WAS HELPING HER BITTER FRIENDS TO GET PEOPLE THEY DIDNT LIKE CANT STAND (IM ONE OF THEM) FIRED OR MAKE THEM RESIGN?
BAD APPLES DO EXIST ON THIS EARTH. WHETHER YOU HAVE NOT ENGAGED IN IT OR BEEN ENVIRONMENT OR YOUR STUCK INSIDE YOUR BOX OF COMFORT TO KNOW THIS. WELL IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE LIFE, THIS IS WHAT REAL LIFE IS. A BUNCH OF BITCHES WHO GET PROMOTED ABUSES THIER POWER TITLE TO FEAR EMPLOYEES, MANAGERS(MANAGERS FAMILIES AND THIER KIDS), SOME GOOD SUPERVISORS NOT ALL TO TERMINATE OR FORCE ABSOLUTE MISERY TO ONES THEY DONT LIKE. THEY WILL TWIST SHIT IN AN EMAIL AS IF YOU SAID IT, AND HEY I TOLD YOU THREE TIMES. THREE TIMES IS CONSIDERED A 3 TIME REPLY IN 3 HOURS. SHE WOULD TRY WRITE YOU UP FOR INSUBORDIANCE OF DEFYING THE LEADER AND HER EVIL SUPERVISOR, WITH THE SUPERVISOR FAMILY FRIENDS, AND RECRUITING ON BOARD DIRECTORS FRIENDS WHO ARE ON HER FACEBOOK, THATS HOW I KNOW. THE PORTAL OF SOCIAL MEDIA GET YOU ANSWERS.
IT TOOK THE COMPANY SO LONG BECAUSE I BET THE REVENUE PROFIT WAS NOT BEING RECIEVED TO THE INVESTORS, THEN WENT DIRECTLY IN PRESIDENTS EAR, LIKE HEY WHERE THE MONEY. TALKING PERSON WHO JUST QUIT THE COMPANY BECAUSE EVIL DIRECTOR AND HER SUPERVISOR FRIEND ASKING THEM TO CLEAN UP 1 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF SHIT THAT WAS DONE INCORRECTLY BY DIRECTOR EMPLOYEES FRIENDS WHO THEY PROTECT, S, S J. HOW THESE OLD WOMEN FUCKER EMPLOYEES GET AWAY WITH SHIT LIKE THIS WITH THE DIRECTOR AND SUPERVISOR? WHY COULDNT COMPANY REALIZE INVESTMENT THEY ARE MAKING ON HIRING TERRIBLE EMPLOYEES WHO JUST WANT A PAYCHECK TO SURVIVE? YOUR NOT THERE TO HELP THE BUSINESS, OTHERWISE PEOPLE ON OTHER TEAMS WOULDNT HAVE DO THE DOUBLE WORK AND DOUBLE SHIT TO CLEAN UP YOUR WORK. SO THE COMPANY NEEDS START FIRING SUPERVISOR AND THOSE EMPLOYEES, START MAKING CHANGE NOW!!! OTHERWISE THAT COMPANY WILL RESULT IN LAYOFF'S AND DESTRUCTION. BUT AS FOR ME, STAYING SILENT WHILE THINGS UNFOLD.
MY THINKING OUT LOUD THOUGHTS ARE HERE TO SHARE FOR LIVE HUMAN SHIT GOING ON IN THIS WORLD OF ENCOUNTER BAD HIRED PEOPLE WHO GET AWAY WITH SHIT? HOW DO FAKE ASS NICE KINDESS ON THE OUTSIDE OF HUMAN SKIN AND ON INSIDE EVIL ENOUGH GET AWAY AND SWEEP THAT SHIT UNDER THE RUG? THE COMPANY IS STILL PROVIDING YOU A PAYCHECK. SOMETHING WRONG WITH COMPANY. COMPANY NEEDS TO OPEN THIER FUCKING EYES...

Sometimes a gf isn't a girl at all, sometimes she's a colony of worms, embedded in your flesh.
A writhing mass of thin, slow, curious things. Feeding on you and in turn filling you with countless babies.
Your babies.
Parasites, I guess, if you have to use a technical term.
But that's not a very.. generous, way to refer to the love of your life now is it.
She's great! Really! She sees things in you no one else sees, accepts you in all your imperfections, all your flaws, what more could you ask for than a girlfriend who's always there for you, who needs you as much as you need her? No matter what mental breaks you may have, no matter what storms you weather.
She loves you for you, for who you are inside, and she'd never leave you, not willingly at least. can't say that about many people, even the ones who say they love you.
Plus if you're being honest with yourself you've always found it.. compelling, to be treated like meat, like an object, like breeding stock, and she's more than happy to comply.
sure it kind of hurts. But love always does, right? Parents, partners, family, friends, they all swear up and down they love you and they always hurt you they always hurt yiu they swear they love you they swear they care and then they hurt you and sweep that hurt under the rug insisting it never happened theyd never do that to you
She wouldn't do that to you.
She hurts you but she owns it, she hurts you because she loves you and you know that
if she didn't love you she wouldnt lap so greedily at your flesh, she wouldnt stick around, she wouldn't leave so many babies inside you
You're a mother with a dedicated, devoted girlfriend, what more could you want?
Sure sometimes the pain gets more
intense
but you reason shes just exploring some part of you she hasnt seen before learning more about you finding what makes you tender what makes you soft
isnt that a blissful thing? to be loved by someone who is still curious about you? who lunges at the chance to see every part of you, every hidden corner of your being?
at those times the pain rises from its usual dull punch and glide
It takes on a different texture, like when you hit gristle chewing through a chicken leg. The soft, gentle chew of the meat gives way to a jarring, sharp, snap as tendon breaks under your teeth, cartilage and connective tissue and and
who knows what else
you cant think about it for long, even when youre in a good place
but when it gets bad, when it sharpens its all you can do to hiss through it, to breathe steady and full until it stops
well its hard to think too long on what could be happening to cause that
When you're in a good place it's so easy to reason it away. She's just doing what she needs to to take care of herself, to keep herself and your babies strong and healthy. What kind of monster wouldn't want that? Wouldn't want those they care about to thrive?
but you can't stay in a good place forever and sometimes you wonder
How much can you afford to give? How much of yourself will it take to satisfy her? when will she take more than you have? will it hurt?
will she be ok?
after all she needs you she chose yoy only you can feed her and keep her safe youre the one she loves the one she needs she chose you for a reason youre special to her
well
no
thats not right is it
You want to believe it, you want it to be true.
But you're not in a good place all the time, and you're not that dense.
She needs flesh, she needs a warm, wet, breathing host
she needs a fool
and youre desperate to be needed

do you have any headcanons about sashanne high school breakup? i know it sucks thinking about the canon end timeline but that little mention in your demi anne comic was intriguing 👀
HEH...you know how anne says we can deal with our emotional baggage later and then never do. sorry for more amphibia criticism but the way they handled sashannes second reunion was so shitty and undramatic it pisses me off how they sweep everything under the rug and just make characters be happy and makeup like nothing.
so... heh. they get together i like to think at 15/16 bc they like each other ofc and have been stuck in this cutesy flirty banter ever since commanding together the rebellion, but there is also all these bottled up emotions that they never brought up and it goes like this:
when they get together as teens they like the version of each other they believe they know. sasha likes anne but when anne is now the emotionally distant one she's unfulfilled. sure anne is affectionate and shes great to her but whenever sasha tries to get the convo onto a more serious ground of Hey i Really REALLY Like You anne tends to play stupid and desperately makes her way out of the situation. heh. turns out dying and getting ripped from you the chance of ever being a child again because you know whats after death and specifically after YOUR death, leaving u with a nihilistic view of life where u just smile through it no matter what, isnt good for a highschool relationship with a newly reformed, takes everything seriously and wants to talk about everything, sasha waybright! thank u amphibia writers anne is 1000% okay after all this and she leads a completely normal happy life doesnt she!
and on annes end. she's deep down, waiting for sasha to betray her at one point. its kind of like, anne is not as committed to the rs as sasha is bc anne's emotionally disconnected. she refuses to think of herself and her own feelings which drives her to never face the fact she has trust issues, which in return means she never truly processed everything sasha did in amphibia and how thats deeply changed their relationship forever
and that all blows up in their faces eventually. sasha snaps at anne for acting like theyre still just friends, anne snaps at sasha for acting like nothing ever happened, sasha snaps at anne, SAD, bc how dare u bring that up, not only was it YEARS ago but i apologized and u forgave me, i thought we were pass that, and anne snaps back at sasha surprised and upset with HERSELF because sasha is right, but also this situations making anne think of things she doesnt want to think and its too difficult. and they break up.
and yknow... bonus points for prom. one or two years after breakup. they decide to go together because somehow it feels weird to go with anyone else. by that point theyre barely talking at all so its surprising when sasha approaches anne to ask her but annes like yknow what. wouldnt have it any other way.
so they go to prom together and theyre cutesy and have Moments and dance together and have almost kiss moment and YOU KNOW WHAT. THEY FIGHT AGAIN. for the DAMN SAME STUFF its like a speedrun of that dating period they have but in 1 night and its the prom and god i love these vibes of shitty prom. it also adds, popular hc of marcy wanting to go to prom with sasha and anne so bad but shes away so she cant fulfill this dream. i see ur "marcy travels to la for prom and sashannarcy all go together" and i bring you "sashanne go together and fight, marcy is away and alone, no one gets what they fucking want" why? bc it is more interesting to think about and im tired of making these characters act like nothing fucking happened
amphibia was not just an adventure that is over with. shit happened and it affects them in the long run. anyways. what was the question

Oh don't you try to pull the "it's actually feminist that this female character was made into a one-dimensional abuser so the showrunner could purposely make her cheating husband sympathetic enough that his actions are basically excused" bullshit with me. If you can't see why vivzie's writing of Stella (and most of her female characters tbh) is awful and misogynistic, you shouldn't be talking about it. Also, you say no one is saying the show's version of Stolas should be excused for his excused for his actions - I don't know if you've looked around your own fandom, but most people along with the show's creator herself seem pretty quick to sweep all that stuff under the rug
1) When did i claim abuse was a feminist movement?? I simply implied it was ridiculous that Stella should be cried over when she is obviously abusive and the fact that if it was man, you wouldnt be upset if he was one-dimensional. Because he’d just be plain abusive. Sometimes people are just bad people. I wouldn’t say any of the characters have particularly strong morals. It’s hell, after all.
2)the reason she might seem one-dimensional is because she was never meant to be a main character. I wouldn’t even count her as a major side character honestly. Antagonists aren’t always fleshed out. That being said I do agree that the female characters could use more backstory and depth. I never said they didn’t. I wasn’t talking about the way women were written in the show in general, I only spoke about Stella in regards to being abusive. Personally, I don’t see Stella as one-dimensional. I see someone who was born into and raised in a society where you’re praised for the image you give out to the public. I see someone obsessed with the idea of having a picture perfect life to the point of borderline insanity when that previously established image is threatened. To me, Stella doesn’t care about stolas’s feelings because she was never able to care about her own. I mean, the picture shown of her as a child just implies she was always a bit of a hot headed spoiled brat. Which, growing up practically royalty and getting everything you want from the time you (hatch, I guess) will do to some people.
3) again, in not any way did I say it was RIGHT or “excusable” that stolas cheated. I haven’t seen a single person praise stolas for cheating, just getting a divorce. Which WAS a good thing. It was a toxic relationship no matter what way you look at it.
4) it was not swept under the rug. The repercussions were shown throughout the entire first season. The beginning of the second episode goes into detail of how it changed the relationship with his daughter and how Stella feels about their ruined image. I could go over every instance the consequences are pointed out but honestly I’m not gonna put that much work into a difference of opinion about an adult cartoon lol.
5)And it’s ironic you’re claiming that stolas’s actions aren’t mentioned and yet Stella throwing his things, verbally berating him, not attempting to make any real connection with their daughter, isn’t something that particularly upsets you because she’s not shown in a way you can sympathize.

Yin/yang relationship between the black cat (destruction) and ladybug (creation)
Concept: Live action Avatar | Disappointing | “I dont know what I was expecting” | True Neutral | I see potential | Solid | Excellence | The creation of Penguins
Execution: Live action Avatar | Disappointing | “I dont know what I was expecting” | True Neutral | I see potential | Solid | Excellence | The creation of Penguins
I am an unapologetic SLUT for balance. I love seeing things symmetrical. I love the conflict of good and evil, push and Pull.
Avatar the Last Airbender is one of my favorite cartoons of all time, BECAUSE it plays the balance role so well.
I UN-appologetically like the show Yin Yang Yo! (yes the one with the rabbits)
So when Ladybug and Chat noir have the whole Creation destruction vibe going for it, it was one of the main reasons I got into the show.
The whole vibe that the two miraculous together can change the universe is amazing.
The fact that they balance eachother out is phenominal and I love that.
Yet the problem is... it is told that they are important and equal rather than shown.
My reasoning is that the Ladybug miraculous is ridiculously OP and the cat miraculous only has "See in dark" and "Destroy but like not actually depending on the situation"
The Ladybug miraculous is clearly superior to the cat miraculous in every single way.
I have a hard time believing that Hawkmoth/shadowmoth needs both miraculous when clearly having the ladybug one should be enough to fix everything.
The cat miraculous only felt close to as important as the Ladybug miraculous, 4 times in the entire series.
1. Breaking the akumatized Bee miraculous
2. Cataclysming Pharo
3. Cataclysming the turtle miraculous to stop Optigami
4. Cataclysming the giant sweet that Tikki made.
Heck even in Ephemeral, them needing Chat noir was more because it was inconvenient and really Ladybug didnt need 9 heroes she only needed 3
Vesperia, Viperion, and Carapace. (Polymouse wasnt needed.)
Which actually shows that Ladybug doesnt actually need Chat noir. Like no wonder the boy feels like he will be replaced.
Do you know how many times the Ladybug miraculous is important?
Everytime. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
That isnt balanced.
If Ladybug is missing once, the world is doomed.
But now the complaint is gonna be "Well ladybug is the main character so she has to save the day."
Yes, I f***ing know. And that is not the problem.
Dont tease me with a balance concept when you are just gonna wipe your ass with it.
The cat miraculous may as well just be one of the lesser important ones. And if it was stated to be then I honestly wouldnt care as much as I do.
It doesnt work when the characters have to say he is important or necessary yet not actually show it.
Also Thomas said that Cataclysm doesnt always destroy, its like misfortune or whatever (being random). Which REALLY damages the view because Tikki is creation.
_____________________________________________________________
I should point out that I am fine with Marinette being the main character, (she is my favorite after all). So her always saving the day is fine. That is not my problem with this.
My problem is that the cat miraculous rarely feels needed. And the treatment of Adrien is unbalanced. (Not even in an opposite way)
I wish that adrien's situation was paralleling Marinette's more.
Ladybug gaining more allies and trust. Being able to share her secret.
Chat noir starts losing more people in his life and starts becoming more untrusting. But anytime I think thats gonna happen, it is just (zip) fixed and status quo again.
Right now it feels like they are just gonna sweep the ladynoir conflict that had been brewing under the rug.
The view of the cat miraculous is being pushed aside and I hate that they are doing that when there are so many ways they can make it equal without undermining Marinette/Ladybug as a character
That is why the Yin yang concept the miraculous were supposed to be infuriates me. Because I love that trope.

this isn’t an one shot or anything, I’m just curious on your intake? okay, i know this is a long shot, but have you ever wonder what would happen if Izuku got caught? Him, the number one hero, the new symbol of peace, getting caught by his mentor or mother that they’ve kidnapped someone or something. honestly, I feel like Izuku is a very careful person on how he kidnaps his darling and how it goes down, but i was wondering; what would happen if those two found out about what he’s doing; like noncon, abuse, and etc? I feel like if anything, they would sweep it under the rug because if the symbol of peace gets caught like this — there would be an uproar or something, right? like people WOULDNT trust heroes after that so for the greater good, they’re going to be like “I’m sorry that he’s doing this, but you gotta suck it up” type of thing? What I’m asking is your belief on this. Like would they sweep it under the rug? What would their reactions be to Izuku’s yandere side? Their reaction to the abuse and stuff? (Honestly you don’t have to do this for Izuku, you could even answer for Katsuki, but I feel like Izuku would have a bigger ass impact if he were caught)

goodiebag WARNINGS: kidnapping, gaslighting, abuse of power
MIDORIYA IZUKU - DEKU
I believe Deku would be able to spin it in a direction that would make him seem like a hero. If he hasn't managed to break her in yet for her to smile and nod with pretty rehearsed lines on her lips, I'd still say that there are many cards for Izuku to play. And with so many people owing him favours, he's very well situated to deal any number of them.
DANGER TO HERSELF
He could pull the insanity card. Not for himself, but for his darling. Convince be it All might or his mother or a court that the love of his life isn't safe when left alone.
With the number of mental illnesses in the world, it shouldn't be too hard to scramble a few of them together and prove to whomever that she, despite screaming that she hates him, actually needs him.
Or he could spin another story, perhaps after one of his many enemies targeted her, his poor darling lost her mind. With his intelligence and ability to predict the future, fake evidence isn't too hard to craft, especially when he's literally above the law.
DANGER TO SOCIETY
Then there's the rehabilitation card. Again, not for him, but for his darling. Her entrapment with him could be seen as just that: incarceration. He could craft a tale of how she was once a vey powerful villain, and that's he's keeping extra close tabs on her because like the pure hearted hero that he is, he just can't find it in himself to kill her.
He could take it farther and say that he had her memories of that time wiped, in hopes she'd be reborn. He could say he's tried time and time again at making her a good person, but how she always falls back to that evil deranged mindset that leaves him with no other option but to house her like a charity handling a troubled child.
NUCLEAR OPTION: TRUTH
Or, he could simply tell the truth. I mean, he's the strongest person in the world, standing side by side with other of the world's most powerful people that would die for him.
And in the end of the day, one girl is a small price to pay for world peace after all.
BAKUGO KATSUKI - KACHAN
Bakugo's a different story.
I think Bakugo's more talented and intelligent than Deku in the art of combat, but when it comes to politics and preying on the sympathy of the people, Deku has him beat. Plus, Bakigo's identity as a hero isn't as reassuring as Deku: the symbol of peace, so the media doesn't have the same tolerance with him as they have with Izuku.
However, where he doesn't have the people, he has Deku, who in turn has the people. Not to mention Kirishima as well.
It's ugly, but there's a reason powerful people get away with things.
Money, fame and connections.
Then there's the service he offers the world, and powerful people in powerful places not wanting his reputation to go to waste. UA doesn't want its prestigious esteemed name to be dragged through the mud as the high school who trained a kidnapping abuser, and the Hero Comity doesn't want the public thinking they don't have control over their heroes. Meaning, they'll spin the narrative in whichever way seems most appealing.
.
This ask reminded me of this fic by @hanji-is-life I read sometime ago. The vibe is potent and chilling, I loved it.

finally finished moral orel and WOW, that was a really really good show. it was a lot like bojack horseman, where there’s valuable and necessary commentary under the guise of a goofy style and characters
im glad orel didn’t get messed up by his dads abuse, and he grew up and had a loving family. orel deserves so many great things, he’s such an enjoyable and loving person
anyways, here are some thoughts i have/thing i noticed. trigger warning for mentions of abuse, rape, alcohol

- clay conflates his self worth with abuse, due to his father initially saying he wasnt worth hitting, so he would act out to get his attention to be “worth it”
- laberta conflates her self worth with inclusion and marriage, as that was the only thing noticeable amongst her circle and her family. her mother explicitly excluded her from the family choir and withheld love from her, along with forcing her father to do the same through manipulation. she does the same thing to clay at the party by getting him drunk and manipulating him into marriage
-moralton didnt pay attention to mr creepler opting to sweep it under the rug to stay comfortable even though people were getting hurt. what ms sculpthumb does to capture him is labeled as a heroic act, even though she’s a victim and this wouldnt have happened if moralton didnt try to ignore it
-nurse bendy age regresses. kids are often seen as innocent, so her age regression shields her from the way everybody else sees her: a sex object
