#like its not a PERFECT show but it doesnt have to be because it is beloved

[t4tails]

this just feels like a pretty horrible systemic issue that any so called empathetic protagonist worth her salts would address and fight against but similar to how racism against nympths is never criticized in any meaningful way, she doesnt care and actually uses it to benefit her.

this doesnt make me like persephone. it makes me hate her and everybody else in this fucking story

[sonknuxadow]

okay sorry for having opinions on sonic shipping but . the more popular a ship is the more likely i am to be annoyed by it so its probably for the best that my favorite ship is one of the not as popular ones . but also the way sonknux gets talked about (or not talked about) as a result of it being less popular drives me up the wall . what do you mean it doesnt make sense. hes literally not staring at the moon and thinking about him💔

What kind of vices do you think Helia has?

OUGH i love talking about the many problems he has <333

Here are some of his canon vices!

Very self-deprecating - It gets better later on and especially as Flora hypes him up, but Helia tends to think of himself and his actions in a very negative way and doesn't do much to challenge that narrative. He unconsciously relies on the others to make himself feel better a lot!

Self-critical - A thing that can be good in moderation, but like all vices, Helia takes it too far. He's overly observant and critical of himself to the point where it's like he's playing the observer all the time. He then gets anxious and convinces himself he's a horrible person cause he made One mistake. Way to go dude

Escapist - He has a hard time sticking around once he's convinced himself that people would be better off without him.

On a similar note, avoiding conflict. It may not seem obvious since Helia occasionally calls out the others, but that only happens when he's genuinely not in the wrong (or doesn't feel in the wrong). If something happens that he thinks he caused or was involved in, he tends to avoid that conflict and fallout.

And if I'm being honest, avoidance in general. Again, it's one of those things that gets missed easily, but that sort of mysteriousness/shyness that people often see in Helia? That's usually avoidance from him! He avoids talking to people unless they speak to him first, he avoids telling people about himself or his life, he'll outright ignore people if he doesn't like them, etcetc. There are times when it's for a good reason (not talking to the trix for example) and times when it's incredibly annoying and counterproductive (like with the specialists or flora). It should be noted that this behavior mostly shows up in his personal life rather than on missions but if anything, I think that shows he's aware of this but doesn't change it.

Impulsive - Again, it may not seem like it but Helia is very impulsive! A lot of the decisions he makes throughout canon are done in the moment and with very little thinking. It's easy to miss because Helia is a fast thinker and quick on his feet so his actions often seem more planned out than they actually are, but if you look at the individual actions themselves and how quick he makes them after Just thinking of them, it gets really obvious. In the show, I'd say the best and most well-known example would be in his introduction episode, aka the monster stunt. Again, it's easy to miss, but that wasn't planning or cautious thinking from him, that was full on impulsivity (both grabbing the monster And leaving). Other good examples would be the Shaab Stone arc in the comics (literally an entire arc of Helia being impulsive as hell), the s2 florelia kiss scene, Helia saving Sky in s2 when they're in Darkar's Fortress, and him running up to every enemy.

I'm not sure what you would call this, maybe recklessness?, but Helia often has very little regard for his own safety. He regularly puts himself into dangerous situations that he doesn't Need to be in without thinking about how badly it's gonna hurt him. Well,,, he does think about whether or not it'll kill him, but if the answer is "no", then it doesn't matter how much danger he's in, he's gonna do it. This often ends with one of the specialists yelling at him which is funny but Still. I do think it's important to note that he's not reckless with the other's safety (he's overly cautious with them) but he definitely is with his own.

I feel like there are others I Could list but they don't show up quite enough for me to call them his vices (ie the occasional stubbornness, lack of confidence, or jealousy). I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS LIST OF HIS MENTAL ANGUISHES I KNOW I DO

as someone who isnt like. huge on d3stiel. i will say it is interesting going through and seeing all the 'big d3stiel' moments in context and some of them are very 'yeah, i get that' and othes are '...you have to purposely take this extremely far out of context and then spin it around in a circle to interpret it the way you did'

Kinda sick of the angst in HS when it comes to fan stuff. Not in the sense that things should be happy or that its not fun, no not at all. I'm just sick of how it becomes a competition of "I suffered the most" basically.

[arillusionist]

in which i complain about the finale. again:

alrite first of all why does anne get to reunite with the two people who have hurt her most in the world, but not the people who made her love herself?

and i hate how she's so okay with that. in the timeskip shes just like "oh lol i'll never see the other part of my family again but my toxic besties whom i never actually sorted out my emotional baggae with are here with me!" I have nothing against sashannarcy friendship but family is so much more important!!!

seperating them is also! repetitive! anne gave the exact same speech to sprig that she did to marcy. "not time or space can break the bond we share" "nothing will ever change how much you mean to me not time or space" ITS THE SAME THING!!! it's not excusable, its just shitty writting + sashannarcy's theme was always change, not anne and sprigs! anne and sprig's and the other plantars was about family and the difference someone can make in your life!!

i'm sorry, but nothing in the show ever built up the plantar boonchuy serperation . the whole point was that no matter who hurt them, they would always have each other through it all. because they. were. FAMILY THEY WERE A GODAMN FAMILY WHAT DONT U GET AMPHUBIA CREW. what was the point of making the boonchuy parents fill up the empty space in sprig and poolly's hearts if they would never see each again? it makes NO SENSE

and why isnt anne allowed to show emotion? when they do serperate, she's smiling, giving a long speech that no 13 year old, no matter how mature, could ever make in a situation like that. she has so much baggage on her shoulders and somehow she's acting like this is normal, and everything is fine she'll never see polly grow up, hop pop will die, sprig is sobbing but its fine! right? oh wait i forgot IT ISNT

I get kind of mad when people say the peacemaker show was nothing like the comics because like ok YES none of the characters Peacemaker interacted with in the comics was there except Adrian, the plot wasnt adapted from any of Peacemakers comics, and there were major changes to his backstory, but like.

 Thats all honestly kind of surface level shit. Its important to note Peacemaker has had one solo run and thats his Charlton run in the 60s, after getting folded into DC hes mostly been used as a supporting character in teambooks and has only gotten one miniseries and one oneshot, the miniseries being from 1988 and the oneshot being that piece of shit Ennis one from this year.

The Peacemaker show understood Peacemaker as a character and combined the elements from all his appearances while making him able to stand on his own as the main character of something. Show Peacemaker has elements from the stuff by Paul Kupperberg, Charlton Peacemaker, and BB2006 Peacemaker and thats why it was so good and so many people liked it. If he was a 1:1 adaptation from just one of his Set Of Appearances he wouldnt be interesting and the show wouldve sucked.

Like I probably wouldve still liked it but you know he wouldnt be as well rounded, he would’ve either been “Crazy” Funny Villain Guy, Stoic Weird Mentor Guy, or a GI Joe character who loves US interventionism. Ok thats all thank you

I read a summary of what grunge used to mean, before companies got ahold of sanitizing it. And realized yeah okay the original definition matches me. My sister grew up as original grunge as a counterculture fashion movement started up, and I think looking at her and wanting to be like her I probably picked up the idea. Likewise with punk and my mom I think.
