#most involve kidnapping

The damsel in distress slowly starts getting more and more unstable from the unaddressed trauma of being frequently kidnapped. One day they completely snap and the villains start being found mysteriously murdered with increasing brutality.

u know what i think is interesting tho. q!Bagi suggesting that q!Bad kidnap Fred. is she mad he kidnapped an innocent worker or is she just mad he lied to her about it?
It’s fascinating that some islanders disapprove or act disapproving of q!Bad’s actions but aren’t willing to actively do anything to stop him nor get involved nor snitch. Which is fair, i mean, the only people they can snitch to are the federation and the belief that islanders come first is probably the correct one; and none of them can really stand up to him even as a group - q!Etoiles perhaps being the exception. but just. Hm.

the way this fandom treats characters is astounding. like y’all do realize that every single character is shitty, right? literally every last one. your blorbo is not an exception. no, “but my fave—” no exceptions. literally the only character that i can’t think of any issues with off the top of my head is farah.
#call of duty#cod#obviously some characters are worse than others#i think we can all hold hands and agree that makarov takes the ‘most evil character’ cake#and lots of people acknowledge graves’ actions#and i’ve even seen people bring up valeria’s actions#but the way y’all (general) just. pick and choose who to criticize#it’s important to acknowledge and discuss the flaws these characters have#and i think it’s important to allow people to explore problematic characters#but if you’re gonna do that— acknowledge EVERYONE’S flaws#price nikolai and gaz literally kidnapped a civilian woman and child. used them as ‘bargaining chips’. held a gun to a little boy’s head#soap & ghost may not have any highlights (that i can recall) but they’re SAS.#the military– especially the specops– are not known for being above board and clean#price’s catchphrase is literally ‘we get dirty world stays clean’#this cast is full of fuckin war criminals. they’re ALL shitty.#obviously some are worse than others (motioning to makarov valeria & graves)#but acting like the ‘good’ characters are unproblematic is harmful imo. there are real people that have been victimized by the military#–including the SAS. your blorbos are in an organization that devastates entire countries with war#i guess i’m sick of seeing people’s obvious favoritism in this fandom.#y’all (general) love to discuss shitty behavior and read-world equivalents until it involves your faves#and i’m not saying this to tell people to stop writing for everyone. i personally dislike the ‘don’t write for problematic charas’ mindset#but hold every single character to that standard for the love of god#and ‼️be mindful while writing/discussing potentially harmful stuff‼️#be sensitive to the groups that might be seeing this. remember that COD is a war game that romanticizes the military and war#with the sole intent of getting people to join#no one is perfect. they’re ALL shitty people. some are worse than others– but they ALL represent real-world issues#the ‘only enjoy unflawed characters’ mindset links back to purity culture and media literacy dying#seeing people expect an imperfect media to have a perfect fandom is draining#the community needs to be a safe space for everyone. but groups will inevitably clash and that’s why we have the block button and filtering#just like. don’t disrespect people. be mindful with your work. but also— BE LIBERAL with catering your fandom space!

I love how my unintentional excuse as to why Alestair and Idan never have to go to work is because they ran away and basically quit without notice.
#this has always been a part of the story though as the first ever thing I wrote with Alestair involved what happened#but Idan stops working there because of that#Mara's job pays a LOT and is hire based so she can do whatever#Vilissa is like the only character that has to regularly work LMAO#but also Vi wouldn't let Alestair get a job when they were dating#as for Fae she's a sex worker so she does it whenever#Fritz and Jer are employed but they don't even get heavily involved in helping until Love and that is explained away (thanks Vi)#as for other stoires#the children in Sunshine are too young to work#the parents do work and leave regularly but aren't really heavily involved#and the adults just take care of themselves with the stuff they have or work if they want (like Norie)#there is no currently running school in the castle (but there used to be)#Barle is a con artist so he would sell junk he fixed up but after getting kidnapped by Shika he doesn't really worry about that anymore#Shika and Fria have disposable income as they are just looking for Barle (Shika the princess and Fria a royal bodyguard)#and Charlie is a bounty hunter so he has freelance (and later a courier)#Flick and Millie are child and Nick is jobless and he's a bird currently so he just needs to eat a little#Ebers is a fortune teller so she does that whenever#also since Millie doesn't care about school she skips out after Flick shows up#And Flick is basically kidnapped so she doesn't got to school as she can't even go there#Seth is homeless and gets things out of making deals with others which he sometimes sell expensive items to get money#Lia and Giles leave behind their lives to adventure but were previously self employed (small businesses)#Myrtle is a Princess so she has that responsibility and disposable income#Sylas is a hunter but there isn't really any work to be done if most of the kingdom is under a sleeping spell#Nym uses the stuff that Elysa left behind in death but he was a Farmer back home not that he can get back home#Pokey runs the train station and the venue but he also isn't getting a lot of business from the inner kingdom#that's just the main stories lolll#every story has some kinda excuse about not working while the story happens

it's embarrassing how long this took to sink in for me but i've finally realized the reason the vast majority of people people are so evil and insane about israel vs palestine is because they fundamentally see neither side as human
#that's why the Other Side is always full of faceless monsters and every single one deserves to die#and why deaths on Their Side are perfectly acceptable collateral#you don't see this in most other conflicts that get western media attention bc there's an acceptably White side and in i/p there is not#this is why there are nazis on both sides because nazis can either root for ethnic cleansing of jews or ethnic cleansing of muslims#win/win for them!#especially because no matter what side they root for there will be catastrophic death and they hate both sides!#and that's why i see so many people including jews and muslims casually wishing genocide on whichever side they don't like#because they simply do not care. it is not real to them#they have convinced themselves there are no humans in this conflict#they have convinced themselves there is an easy win situation for their Side#and there is not.#they have worst of all convinced themselves that whatever violence their Side commits is retaliatory and therefore acceptable#that the genuinely evil government leading their side consists of bold freedom fighters#that anything done in the name of that freedom is okay#and in doing so ironically they have lost their own humanity because they are so determined not to see others'#i give grace to any caught in the middle of this. i understand hatred and fear and wishing death to those hurting you#but to westerners? to the americans happily cheering on civilian deaths? nope. none for you#you say things you would never say about ukraine because you do not believe any humans are involved in this war#shutting off electricity and leaving everyone to die? fine. bombings? fine. rape and kidnapping? fine. they're not humans after all#expressing support for either hamas or the israeli government is unfathomable to me#and yet i'm seeing it en masse from those who supposedly want peace and leftism#obsessed with an abstract idea of Ye Glorious Revolution Needs Bloodshed (so civilian murder okay)#and in turn indistinguishable from the right wingers calling for gaza to be glassed. not to Both Sides but. Both Sides.#genocide is never an acceptable solution. i cannot believe that is a controversial statement#no civilian deaths are ever valid collateral. even if you personally do not quite see israelis or palestinians as human#you might think you do but ask yourself what you would do if it was you. on whichever side you see as evil. is it “okay” now? acceptable?#collateral for justice? what is necessary to ensure your side wins? it would be okay if you and your loved ones died? that's okay?#what if it was happening in america? england? your hometown?#is it still okay?#if it isn't...why not? why is your life more important than that of an israeli or palestinian?

Some swap au Olivia and Jackie concepts for the main 3 universes 👍
#keese draws#oni posting#first two are from the main rat universe#long story short a while after founding gravitas olivia was like ok so I think me being your boss in our company that we spend most of our#days at has left our relationship in a place that I’m uncomfortable with so we’re getting a divorce now sorry#and jackie proceeded to throw a fit abt that for several years until she got fired over it#in another petty act she tried to break back in to steal some of the work she had done there but got caught#and unfortunately for her during the past several years olivia has been slowly having mere morals broken down piece by piece by the allure#of progress and by the time she did her breaking and entering scheme olivia was far past the point of being ok with kidnapping#the second two are the rabbit universe girlies and they’re less openly hostile with eachother but they still are bad for eachother#they’ve known eachother since childhood and jackie has basically been using olivia as a therapist since they were teens#this lead to them developing an increasingly unhealthy codependent relationship where olivia ends up acting incredibly irresponsibly as#director of gravitas due to her being so stressed and paranoid about jackie all the time#and the third two are the raccoon au which is basically just jackie being too scared of rejection to put her work under her name so she#asks olivia to take credit for it which she does and she ends up getting all the credit and praise for a lot of the early work at gravitas#this combined with jackie’s constant worshipping of her slowly began to lead to it kinda getting into her head#and jackie was also letting it get to her head and eventually her ambition got the better of her and she ended up attacking olivia#now these are all just the basic concepts I currently have these aus are all still in the concept stages#for example I’m still figuring out how I wanna involve the other scientists and if I switch their roles around too#but yeah I’ve been thinking abt these guys lately so they get drawn 👍#oh also fun fact these aus are inspired by the scrapped content back when olivia was jodi#which is why I characterize these two a bit differently then I might if I was leaning more towards my normal stuff#theyre characterized more closely to old jackie and jodie including origin story wise

Knowing what I know about Aoyama and rereading some of the manga is causing me physical pain
#bnha manga spoilers#mha manga spoilers#manga spoilers#boku no hero academia#Starry speaks#specifically when class 1 a and b were training in the forest with the pussycats#in the aftermath Aoyama is the one sweating and stressing the most#because everything was his fault#he told the villains where they were and everyone got severely injured#and Bakugo was kidnapped#because of him.#god#he did try to mitigate some of the damage by shooting his laser at compress#cause obviously OBVIOUSLY he didn’t want to do any of this he’s being forced to by all for one and his parents#but. man.#free my boy Aoyama#do you know how much it hurts seeing him cower behind everyone and hide away when the lov attack?????#I’ve loved this boy since the very beginning and now knowing why he’s nowhere to be found when they attack usj or why he sweats profusely at#the sight of the villains and when Dekus in a bind he’s the least involved character DESPITE THE FACT he should be one of the most involved#because of the shared characteristic of ‘my quirk is ill suited for my body’#did any of you realize that when Deku gave everyone the letters explaining one for all Aoyama did nothing the entire time.#nothing meaningful anyway. literally everyone else had something to say to Deku and Aoyama did nothing.#did not even show up in the background when Deku came back to ua. nothing.#clawing at the walls like a rabid cat desperate to break free#hoping some of that was coherent. sorry bout that I had emotions

thinking about Josha and how she seems to have come out of no where in that five or so year time skip period between games and that perhaps she's an indication of the Sheikah saving a child that had been indoctrinated by the Yiga

aggravates the hell out of me the way Adam is framed as a character of really strong convictions but then like once a season he Compromises His Ideals and by god would you believe it bites him in the ass again

I swear every time I read a fanfic with a third-act kidnapping, I lose a small part of me.

One of the most annoying things about conspiracy theories is that most of them contain a kernel of truth so when you say “X thing is fake” all the supporters of that conspiracy theory will be like “what about *one true thing*?” and it’s like “yes that specific thing is real but it doesn’t prove all your other claims”.
