I really wish the Circle Mage had the option at some point to straight up say "fuck you" to Irving's face.
Like just. Fuck you for caring more about making sure the chantry was blamed for Jowan and Lily's "dalliance" or w/e than about Jowan's fucking life. AND more about that than Amell/Surana's life because they still take a big chunk of the blame even if they narc on Jowan. These are people who are under your care. They did not choose to be there. Fuck you for allowing them to be driven to desperation to the point where they are forced to put their own lives in danger for a taste of freedom. Like obviously the Templars are also to blame but you do kind of get to bitch at Greagoir in a way you don't get to at Irving.

💚🖤💖🧡 :D
Hey anon! I'm going to assume this is targeted towards the Terror fandom ✌🏻 if you were thinking about the Hornblower let me know, I'm happy to answer about that fandom too!
🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?
Tbh, I haven't yet come across a theory I don't agree with. Probably because it's based on a true story or maybe because I don't read enough of text posts. Sorry!!❤️✌🏻
💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?
This is a hard question. My favourite character is most definitely Francis, and the opinions around him are all pretty similar, and I do agree with them. So I'm going to move on on his polar opposite - Hickey. Now. He's evil, a manipulative bastard, dumbass, etc. I've seen all of that about him. And it's the truth. However, somewhere deep inside, I DO still feel sorry for him. He says at one point that he's been "abused" before (I think it was during the flogging scene). Also, in the book this scene is a bit more horrifying. In the book two other men are flogged too and they are restored to a sobbing mess, both of them "unmaned", while he stays completely silent. Now, is that silence a product of him being the bigger man or of him being used to the pain? It might be the other. At least it seemed like that to me. Moreover, I kept thinking about the fact that we never find out his actual name. He doesn't say it, not even in the end, when all is lost. Does he himself also think that his true identity doesn't matter? He takes the journey to "experience something" , "get away",and all of that makes me think that the actual man, which he used to be behind this evil mask, is a deeply hurt and forgotten human being who didn't know how to deal with pain except becoming it himself. I hope this makes some sense.
🖤: Which character is not as morally good as everyone else seems to think?
Oh damn. Franklin maybe? I think that deep inside he actually KNEW Francis was right and that he wasn't actually "stupid", it was just that his ego couldn't allow it.
💖: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?
I don't think that this is that unpopular but more book scenes would have been nice.

"Why can't we headcanon Lan Wangji as asexual? They do it to asexual characters, so why can't we do it too?"
The problem with headcanons of Lan Wangji being asexual is that it feeds the "you just haven't met the right person" narrative. Mr. Everyday-is-Everyday is the most sexual horny being in his whole universe (Jin Guangshan doesn't count. He's just a rapist/prostitute). Demisexual seems more like it.

Had a silly dream where JD and Floyd came back to the troll tree before the last trollstice but after singing killed their grandma and decided to doodle and expand upon it a bit
Clay never left the tree but was too scared to return to the families pod since he didn’t want things to go back to how they were before, he did try to find his brothers during the escape but got separated by the cave in.
John Dory was the one to find Clay and see him get caught by the cave in, when he came out of the tunnel without Clay and holding his wristband they all just assumed he was dead. Even so JD still searches for Clay with the hope that he might’ve escaped and is alive out there.
They know Bruce is alive but after JD got the post card he assumed Bruce didn’t want to be found
Some more doodles that kind of show their dynamic
Also-
JD always brings home souvenirs for the brothers both as an apology for being gone for so long and also because of this:

I just love how Steve Harrington was supposed to be killed off after a couple of episodes but Joe Keery was so charming and so likable they rewrote the whole season and show to keep him alive like he really Darren Criss’d it. He is that bitch. He gave the Duffers the ol razzle dazzle and now he IS the show for most normies. My uncle who has never watched ST and doesn’t even have Netflix loves Steve on vibes alone. The people’s prince.

special operatives
(silly interaction beneath read more)
[ID: Digital Art in color of Trigun Maximum, characters included are Wolfwood, Elendira, and Legato in a casual meeting situation. The piece consists of orangey yellow lighting and purple shadows. Wolfwood sits on the left side, facing Elendira who’s on the right. He’s seated on a plain wooden chair with one knee up and he’s holding the strap to his Punisher in his left hand while his right sits against his thigh, He has an irritated expression as he speaks to Elendira. Elendira is sitting in a fancier seat, her right arm rests against Wolfwood’s propped up knee, her left hand holds her suitcase. She’s sitting cross legged with an amused expression. Legato can be seen in the back at the center of the image in his mobile body case, one of his eyes shown to be glaring at Wolfwood. End ID]
[ID: Sketch, uncolored comic. Elendira says to Wolfwood, “I’m not telling you to dedicate yourself to him, but just accept the situation at hand. We could get along better if we were on the same page.” Wolfwood responds, “Don’t peg me me for an optimist. I’m not dumb. But, I’m also not going to just live in resignation. Plus, I don’t have any interest in getting along with ya.” Elendira coos, “Aw, you sure? I have a wonderful shoulder to cry on when the weak people you’re trying to protect eventually dies in the coming months. Though, I guess it’s fine. Someone like you might just die before then anyway...” She snickers in her hand while Wolfwood is speechless and just glares. Legato is faintly drawn in the back, glaring at Wolfwood, muttering “worthless” repetitively. End ID]

the thing is, we were never meant to sympathize with luke when he betrays percy. we aren’t meant to see his inner turmoil. we aren’t meant to see hesitancy, or regret. it’s meant to be a slap in the face. luke takes percy to the woods knowing full well what he’s about to do. in tlt kronos orders him to kill percy because he’s too volatile; kronos said so himself when percy hijacked luke’s dreams and began to figure out there were bigger things at play. the thing is, when kronos orders luke to kill percy, he doesn’t hesitate. that’s the point!!! it is essential that luke is so blinded by rage and vengeance for the gods that he will stop at nothing to get what he wants (the god’s destruction). percy accuses luke that kronos is using him, but he just retaliates that the gods do the same, and they do!!! but see, the thing is, luke’s whole point is that he’s so focused on the god’s injustices that he forgets what’s important. he goes for the “greater good” but he destroys his family, his life, in the process. by attempting to dismantle a system, he turns to another system that follows the same oppressive logic. THAT is why luke fails. THAT is why it’s so important he be blinded by rage, because it’s his inevitable, tragic end. he’s doomed by the narrative from the start. yes, we’re meant to be surprised by his betrayal because of how cold and calculating it is, but also it’s important to set the grounds for luke’s character to be this angry, vengeful boy because later on we come to understand why it is that he made those choices. we see annabeth’s side of things and percy’s side. we see luke’s side. we see many sides. we see a man who is too far gone yet comes to understand, in the end, that he’s been doing more harm than good to those he was supposed to protect (annabeth is the most obvious example). we get a complex character who won’t hesitate to kill but who also won’t hesitate to sacrifice himself so that he can save the family he has left.
the thing is, luke was supposed to be angrier in the show. percy was supposed to be angrier in the show. they’re both foils. luke is what percy could become, if percy lets his anger win. so, to change—even if it’s only slightly altering—their characters, is to change the point of the story. because luke tries to kill percy in his betrayal and later percy tries to kill luke but then percy starts to understand luke…until luke is gone and kronos is gone yet the gods don’t change but percy does. and percy’s initial anger is supposed to transform and he’s supposed to see what luke saw and the cycle continues. the thing is, it’s not even one of the worst changes the show made, yet it’s still so, so telling that they failed to see why it’s important to let your characters do bad things, to make mistakes, because that’s how a story can carry on. that’s how you give a story depth.
