mini rant but i dont rlly like the mischaracterization of some characters in epic
my main issue is with the eurylochus situation?? like yes he definitely should not have opened the bag, that was on him. but at circe’s palace of course he wouldnt have risked it?? like circe is literally the goddess of sorcery theres no way ody would have won against her without hermes and how was eury supposed to predict that?? he just wanted to protect the dwindling number of men they had left after they literally just got their shit wrecked by another god but ody managed to convince him by the end of the circe saga that the crew was worth saving and no man left behind yadayada so seeing him sacrifice 6 men to scylla is obviously gonna make him mad and regarding the cattle im pretty sure it was the whole crew who were also hungry and wanted to kill the cattle and i think we forgot that ody also kind of just tried to kill eurylochus so why would he trust ody?? of course it was wrong of him to kill the cattle but still its not 100% eury’s fault for everything in epic since technically everyone is at fault
everyone keeps calling eurylochus a hypocrite but the most common arguments can be debunked if you analyzed his character a bit more but i still believe eury is 100% at fault for the windbag
im not saying you cant dislike eury just dont call him a hypocrite
but id like to say that this is just scapegoating cus we finally found someone to blame other than ody,, ive also seen a lot of dislike towards eury even before the thunder saga for no reason
polite is also a character i have a problem with the mischaracterization of but its not rlly as important it just kinda pisses me off cus he is not a sunshine uwu gayboy(not in a homophobic way) twinkie he was at war for 10 years as well he’s just optimistic
(sory if u couldnt understand it my english sucks ass sometimes))
i will say im a windclan moor >>> windclan prairie truther in my heart but i also think looking at "warrior cats is set in the new forest/england/the uk" and going "no it's not. it's actually set wherever i live" is awesome so whatever. whatever you think is right and whatever i think is right. 10 billion creative and inspired by personal experience warrior cats settings forever
Caught up with the 9-1-1 finale after watching some live-blogging on tumblr and I feel like some things should be addressed.
I saw some comments about how having Latinos being Cartel members was racist because it reinforces stereotypes. 9-1-1 also has Eddie and his family, who have been main/side characters for multiple seasons, who are positive complex characters, whereas the Cartel was like 1.5 episodes. Complex, wide ranging representation is important and in this instance I think the 6 seasons of Eddie and family far outweighs the 30-60 min of Cartel.
"Gerrard was like the father I had" "I wasn't close to my father" are SUPER IMPORTANT LINES FOR TOMMY. It shows that he grew up in a household that wouldn't/doesn't accept his sexuality, that his past behavior is predicated on existing in various forms of Gerrard's toxic environment his whole life. That is until the Winds of Change in the form of Chimney and Hen started to blow in.
Imho, Tommy wasn't nullifying Buck's trauma by making the daddy joke. Putting aside the argument that Queer people shouldn't have to be sanitized to be represented on TV, Tommy could have just read the room and thought Evan needed a little break from the EMOTIONAL DAMAGE his whole day had been consisting of. I mean if I went on the emotional rollercoaster that Buck did in one day, you better bet I would appreciate my super hot pilot boyfriend making some jokes and giving me some space to just breath.
Honestly, the whole live blogging experience on Tumblr was really disappointing. I won't be doing that again. Instead I'll just watch the show by myself, analyze it by my nerdy-self and then come here to post and hope some fellow nerds like it. Somehow I spent 30+ years of my life in positive fan culture land and I really wish I never ventured out of it.
Sometimes I miss actively participating in fandoms, but sometimes I see things that remind me how these days I find myself having a better time just keeping to myself and the small handful of people/groups I trust while still tossing some art out there publicly every so often.
hii what do you think of silent readers? like people who don’t repost or comment your work, cause i found someone who has a big problem with it when people are just liking their work and now i’m kind of scared that other people see it the same
hello 🩷 if a writer doesn't like silent readers but you are one, then you should really just respect their thoughts on that or reblog their stuff!
i personally don't care about it, but just hanging on; 🧚🏻♀️ i understand not wanting to reblog smut or something if you have an account where irl friends of yours might see or you're just uncomfortable showing you read fanfiction, or whatever your reason is that is so fine, (don't feel pressured to do something you do not want to do) + you can always make a side blog just for reblogs too! 🩷 but if you do not want to reblog, then you also shouldn't complain if a writer is blocking you over being a silent reader, it's all about respecting each other!
in the end, it's important to respect the writers opinion and not bash them for not liking silent readers (you should be respected as well for it, you don't want to reblog? that's fine)🧚🏻♀️ you can have your opinion, they can have theirs! 💖
I'm so tired of age gap fics please if i can suspend my disbelief about mushroom zombies I can suspend my disbelief about the reader's age not being equivalent to my own, please just give me two 50(+) year old bastards falling in love no more of this 15+ year age gap I swear to god someone is gonna make me start writing last of us fanfiction at this rate.
Anyways, I would like to request some aid from the last of us fandom in terms of fic recs if anyone knows any good reader insert or x reader fics wherein they and joel are around the same age? Pre or post outbreak, au, I don't care I'm starving please if anyone has any let me know.
EDIT: I did not think this was going to get any traction which in hindsight was kinda stupid of me but I really want to clarify something since I originally left it in the tags which I probably shouldn't have. THIS ISNT A HIT PEICE. I've been a fanfic writer for years now even if this blog isn't exactly a great example of my supposed stellar writing consistency. I mean no hate towards the people who like age gap or write it it just isn't my thing personally and I would like to read fics that explore other topics besides that when it comes to this fandom. Yes I understand the easy solution is to write my own and i would be a liar to say I wasn't but I'm new to this fandom and still consuming the actual content and I know my drafts aren't exactly great right now in part because of that. What I wanted to accomplish here wasn't just to complain a little but to reach out and ask if anyone could point me in the direction of non age gap fics in the mean time and they did so thank you very much!! I genuinely appreciate it. Write what you like but understand that I also reserve the right to read what I like and to ask for help in finding it because let's be honest tumblrs search and filter system is non existent and asking for help was my next best bet so uh yeah I'm gonna stop rambling now and refine this maybe when I'm more awake and can word things better probably.
During one of last week's streams, Rubius played Vegetta's livestream on the TV behind him while streaming. He switched to something else after a while and missed a message Vegetta had for him, so a few days ago he rewatched the VOD to see what Vegetta (and Leonarda) said.
Rubius has been taking a break from QSMP for almost a month now after receiving a lot of harassment from toxic shippers and folks who were worried his Angel / Devil character might hurt the Eggs (despite the fact that he never tried to harm them and he's actually the one who gave JuanaFlippa her gun).
He jokes about the situation occasionally, and in this clip phrased it as "I like the Eggs, I just don't like the fans of the Eggs." I really hope he comes back soon :(
