honestly Percy and Nico's dynamic is made even funnier when you take into account how Will is written in TSATS. Like, oh okay then, Nico just has horrible taste in men and keeps getting smitten with boys who loathe everything he stands for. Percy stopped being Nico's type because Percy started to respect him too much. Cupid is yelling at Nico to raise his standards while Nico scopes out the latest guy who will treat him wrong to take on a date to the Underworld.

Something I think thats interesting/really tiring about the wwx morality debate is that I think some people, in an effort to understand wwx as a "morally good character", tend to take their own preconceptions of moral ideals and then squish wwx into that box, whether or not he did or would actually share those ideals. But in my opinion, that's kind of like putting the cart before the horse-- wwx already has his own ideals and actions that make up who he is, and those are what define him as good. It's not necessarily that he did all this positive action because he's supposed to be a great person, but that he's a great person because of who he is and what he does

Ultimately I think something people often do without realizing is that they keep stripping SWK of attributes that make him so interesting and give it to another character — who more often than not ends up being Macaque of all people
Cares for children and is a good father figure to the monkeys? Macaque
Has a plan even when faced against a strong force in short notice? Macaque
Capable of tricking even the most cunning of people? Macaque
But the moment you describe an attribute that’s negative people often pin it to Wukong such as being an “awful planner” or “a poor mentor” or “someone who abandons people when they need it the most”
When in fact SWK does everything in his power to make sure Xiaotian is cared for and has a stable support system and did his best to try and get to him as quickly as possible when reaching for the Samadhi Fire map.
Not saying Macaque can’t have these qualities either but it’s almost saddening when people take away parts of SWK that make him interesting and fun

something that is like the baseline of amys entire character to me is that shes lonely. shes clingy and physically affectionate in a way none of her friends really are, shes always getting pushed aside and left behind. yeah, she helps out people she doesnt know because shes a nice person, but also, she sees part of herself in them. she wont leave someone else behind because she knows the feeling —and more importantly, hates the feeling. if she doesnt have somebody to stand by her and be there for her, then shes going to be that person for everybody else. something something her obsession with sonic is really just like a manifestation of that desire for closeness with someone, and she thinks that romance is the only way to get that. idk... this hedgehog can have so many abandonment issues.

it's true that hermann's clothing aesthetic is mostly something along the lines of "dorky professor," but i think it's really more like 80% dorky professor, 20% military surplus. (that 20% is probably all ppdc gear, but the Aesthetic™ of the ppdc gear is milsurp).
like, hermann's a practical guy. he cares more about the function of his clothes than the appearance (see: glasses cord, oversized parka). he's also been working for the ppdc since he was in his mid-20s. you can't tell me he doesn't own, like, fleece quarter-zip tops in neutral colours and too-big "one size fits all" sweatpants with "P.P.D.C." stamped on the side.

sorry im convinced that a decent chunk of scourge fans either havent read the comics at all or just made up a guy in their head to give scourge's design to because why do so many people keep trying to make him into a traumatized sadboy. "scourge isnt evil hes actually just deeply traumatized and lashing out because hes sad" no hes not hes literally just an asshole ????? what
