people are pushing against the overly ~wholesome~ fandom culture of the 2010s but they're going too hard and swinging in the opposite direction. now for something to be considered *good* it has to be Dark and Edgy and Complicated and Toxic. and ppl feel the need to justify their liking something with "no it's actually like suuuper dark".

...and that's how you get people calling farcille "toxic yuri".

@supersleepyslowpoke yes, this, this is exactly what I was thinking. He even went a step further and modified his gun (I combined the ASHPD design with the Gravity Gun design, so it can launch things, too)

There’s a certain school of Benjamin Sisko characterization - sometimes that even crops up on my own posts - that I’ll summarize in broad strokes as the “chill and unbothered” interpretation of him. This manifests in a few different ways, sometimes with the idea that he just wants to relax and do his hobbies without getting besieged by his responsibilities, or sometimes with the idea that his male rivals get homoerotically obsessed with him while he’s apathetic to them and baffled by their investment in him.

As for the former, it is true that Benjamin Sisko is heavily burdened and at times liable to break under the strain, and that’s part of what is so deliciously compelling about his character. He begins the show traumatized and world-weary and seriously considering resigning from Starfleet, and he goes through another dark night of the soul after Jadzia’s death at the end of season six (and I’d say there are indications it’s still haunting him through the first third of season seven). And the show emphasizes the massive toll that the war is taking on him on numerous occasions.

But the other thing that is deliciously compelling about him is the way he grabs onto his responsibilities with both hands and refuses to let go, even though his resolve is tested over and over. This is demonstrated in episodes like Behind the Lines, where he can’t stand being put behind a desk while the Defiant goes out on missions and feels a desperate need to be in the thick of things (a restlessness that drives him to put forth the plan to retake the station in the next episode). And while he intends to build a house on Bajor, he is not planning to resign his Starfleet commission - he tells Ross, “I will go wherever they send me. But when I go home, it will be to Bajor.” He is committed to his duties and believes in Starfleet’s ideals, very strongly. And while he is tempted to throw aside the role of Emissary in Accession, he is driven to seize it back because of his own values (and in Rapture, he gets to the point that he is willing to put his health and life at risk in order to understand the visions he’s having). He feels an intense amount of personal responsibility and is loathe to cede that responsibility, and he’s sometimes outright zealous in his manifestation of those traits.

And it’s precisely that need to take the reins that makes him inclined towards personal vendettas. This is very apparent in For the Uniform, in which his pursuit of Eddington is extremely personally motivated. He resents being taken off the assignment to catch him, because it’s a blip in a twenty-five year service record, and he’s absolutely furious that Eddington outsmarted him. It’s an injury to his pride and a loss of control that he can’t countenance. His conflict with Dukat is less a matter of pride, but after the events of Waltz, Sisko still sees it as his personal duty to defeat Dukat when the time comes, because of his moral disgust towards Dukat and his protectiveness towards Bajor. He tells Jadzia, “it’s him or me,” effectively picking up the gauntlet that Dukat throws down.

All in all, one of his defining traits is that he is very passionately invested in whatever he designates as his realm of responsibility. There are times when he wants to get away from it all, and when he feels torn in two by his competing commitments to Bajor and Starfleet. But he keeps choosing to recommit, over and over, and feels restless and unfulfilled without some sense of purpose driving him. And he hates feeling undermined.

There are way too many weird horror movies in recent times suffering from marketing campaigns that give audiences the wrong impression about what the film is. It Comes At Night, LONGLEGS, Hereditary, Saint Maud, It Follows, The Witch, both of Jane Schoenbrun's films (We're All Going to the World's Fair and I Saw The TV Glow), etc., etc.— all had trailers that made them out to be far more "traditional" horror movies than they actually are, giving viewers the wrong expectations for what the vibe of the movie is going to be.

I understand the need by smaller studios to bring mainstream audiences into even their most unusual films, but the consequence is often just that audiences leave thinking the movie was bad. If you advertise a movie in a way that suggests one thing, audiences will often just feel pissed when they learn that that suggestion is wrong! All of the movies listed above (which are all good btw!) had somewhat controversial receptions upon their first release because many people felt like the movie failed to live up to what the trailer promised, when in reality the trailer just failed to live up to what the movie contained.

I think the perfect counterexample to this is Skinamarink. That is an extremely unusual movie, and the trailer makes that crystal clear. Not only does it make for a creepy and original advertisement, but it also means that audiences were able to evaluate the film on its own terms, rather than terms that it was never trying to meet in the first place.
