#theyre just fictional characters okay

I will forever maintain that Jason would've been fine and Not a vigilante without Bruce making him Robin
#''bruce never recruited any kids for his mission/war'' falls apart immediately when u consider jason's backstory im ngl#jason todd#my dc posting#his whole character to me is breaking the conventions of the medium#batman#like i hate how ppl treat others like theyre ridiculous when they even dare to critique bruce in any way#i am capable of suspending my disbelief and accepting some things in fiction as okay even if they wouldnt be irl#its the viewers responsibility to meet stories whre theyre at#but its also the story's responsibility to upkeep that yknow?#''child/teen sidekicks are okay n not morally dubious'' okay :D yay :3#then one of them gets brutally murdered by a villain and im like. yeah uhh no. cant do that anymore 👍sorry#''they all became vigilantes on their own bruce couldnt have stopped them'' yall under the impression bruce hates kid heroes n wants them#properly safe n is just doing damage control/harm prevention#when hes more the lines of encouraging them#difference between ''i cant stop u from doing this so ill make it as safe as i can'' and#''im actively going to encourage you to do this dangerous thing''#i have many opinions n im ngl theyre constantly shifting n they depend on a lot#im not gonna hate on lego batman for robin thats a goddamn childrens movie who tf gives a shit#comics are fair game tho. have u seen what gows on in there.#bruce couldve stopped jason from being a vigilante n instead encouraged him is the hill i will fucking die on#the victim blaming of jason has Got to stoppp its the worst thing ever#also just to remind everyone. ''a good soldier''.#wow a character blames themselves for the death of their child and to torture themselves they put the words 'good soldier' on their memorial#anyway if you even dare to think abt the implications ure stupid n#like do u hear urself whattt

I think that part of what like. kills me about the whole media literacy and critical thinking aspect of enjoying media these days is that people refuse to like. contextualize that
A. Bad media can still hold significant meaning to people
B. Media made for a demographic you aren’t apart of is not inherently bad media
C. Media made for and consumed by the opposite demographic is not inherently shallow or flawed nor is it above criticism for its media tropes either.
#unimportant thoughts#i dont feel like dropping specifics in post but like. people online drive me legitimately insane#good example is Ready Player One. its an okay book but people LOVE to hate on it for being a shallow nostalgia grab for old male demographic#and like. yeah. but also comsider that it Was written earnestly by a man in that demographic? and that people enjoyed it???#and maybe im soft hearted but my Dad was a nerd in the 80’s so both of us reading that book and comparing our experiences with it and#learning about his childhood from him. it was awesome yk??? was the book groudbreaking or particularly moving? no#are there a lot of fair criticisms you can make about the book regarding its poorly written female characters and painfully male tone#throughout? absolutely. its not the most vile piece of media its barely mediocre and its not the best thing since sliced bread either#and it kills me because instead of being able to have conversations like thay#people just attack and attack and attack and ATTACK#I don’t know i think the rise of this booktook wattpad level romance smut is another big part of this#are those books incredible? no. definitely not. are they decent? yeah theyre fine enough#are their characters shallow; do they follow tropes; are the characters clearly romanticized objects for us to googoo eye over? yeah#so fucking what??? they arent winning pulitzer prizes theyre just popular online and easily accesible#people love consumbable media thats not an inherently bad thing#and i think its hypocritical for people to defend one and attack the other or even to attack both#media doesnt exist to be appropriately Deep and Meaningful before people are allowed to consume and enjoy it#like. i think theres a LOT of levels of undestanding compassion and respect that people need to reach before these conversations are worth#anything. because right now it really feels like girls and boys arguing back and forth on the playground over whos show is better#anyways. i could go on but i wont.#bottom line i suggest you take a deep look at how ‘realistic’ and ‘meaningful’ the media you enjoy actually fucking is before you start#critizing other media for being too shallow or unrealistic depictions of something#hate to break it to you guys but 90% of fictional characters are fictional and dont act like people irl ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

.........im just gonna be real i do not see kabu misu. like period...... like dont get me wrong theyhave a good dynamic but it was NOT mithrun in the middle of his conspiracy board
#i saw someone refer to labru as wanting to see kabru get worse and i feel so violent#yeah you know i think being a caretaker of sorts(situation where you may have to ignore your wants and needs) is soooo much healthier for#kabru than being with a peer who would help him unmask and reduce his monster anxiety with knowledge#not to say that relationships or fictional shipping is all about what makes characters better#i just find the labru dynamic infinitely more interesting than kabumisu#to me kabumisu is very boring. like okay yay prettyboy helps you get in touch with your desires and learns to take care of himself better#along the way like. cool! glad theyre friends!#labru though.... the drama... the autism....i think labru would be a lot about kabru working thru#his mask and laios learning not to box humans up as More Difficult/less desirable creatures than monsters/animals#like uhh actually i think itd be good for kabru to talk to someone who is not on the page kabru assumes hes on#and urrrmmm itd be good for laios to Finally have a friend who is Actually interested in Him. who is interested in humans so much that#laios might actually get a sufficient explanation for missed social cues and conventions#im just saying labru works because they are on the same level. my favorite panels are when people call kabru creepy

considering theyre not even blood related (much less twins), dio and jonathan do a fantastic job at being like a evil twin vs. good twin kinda story. theyre like dante & vergil or liquid snake & solid snake to me. i want to put dio and vergil and eli in a room just to see what happens
#jojo and snavid and dante also get put in a room but theyre just sitting there awkwardly#theyre all being nice to each other they just have absolutely nothing in common to talk about#jjba#mgs#dmc#anyway im thinking too hard about this. i think speedwagon and otacon and lady could all be oomfs too#theyre buddies. i dont think they have literally anything in common#but i need to see otacon be scared of lady anyway#lady and speedwagon are hangin out they're maybe showing off how they fight#and hal is sitting there like a pathetic wet dog looking at them#actually final trio of characters who i think should hang out: josuke and nero and raiden#theyre like. the nephew type character. i know josuke is technically the uncle here but shush its about vibes#imagining dmc4 nero and mgs2 raiden and obviously part4 josuke thats like. the exact combination i need to see#they all think theyre cool but are actually losers. and they have no idea whats going on#my point here is i need to see them play mario kart or something#OKAY ENOUGH YAPPING!!! projecting my random fictional character oomfisms into your MIND.#muffin mumbles#wait edit. i wish wesker had an evil twin because i want to shove some re characters in here but like there is no dante to weskers vergil#there is no solid snake to weskers liquid snake. there is no jojo to weskers dio#you know?#that being said. would love to see jake muller hang out with the quote unquote ''nephew gang''. dont have a reason beyond its funny

the only reason why I dont post more about gretta darkkettle is because then I'd actually get Serious on here
#listen yall im not really the type of person to let a fictional character get me actually riled up (negative) irl#cuz theyre just tools in a narrative not real people#but like dont some of you have just That One Character that you actually just Hate.#actually i dont think id have so much of a problem eith gretta if she were written to actually face consequences and not be a free woman#but like. we have a game that introduces serious issues within it right? please portray that PROPERLY ....#like okay we all know that wizard101 isnt exactly the pinnacle of genius and sensitive writing#theres like 800 more topics in the game that were handled horribly that are much more important than gretta but.#i wont even get INTO gretta ANYMORE SUALAJSOSHDU she. she ugh. she really makes me (commits murder on a wide scale)#like i was thinking of doing an essay on her but for many reasons i decided against that. one of those reasons is that I Love Myself Actualy#anyways this post is useless. HAKWHEOEH bit idgaf i like to air out my thoughts like stinky laundry#its always noteworthy to me when fiction actually makes me MAD. a lot of the things in wizard101 is like that for me. goos job kingsisle /s#wizard101#wiz101#w101#text posts

fandom bullshit feels so petty now, and it always was, in comparison to just seeing the complete bleakness of world news
fuck it, man, enjoy that ~~problematic media~~ that's out now, vent out loud how creepy some shit is, dive into textual analysis of misogyny at the roots of a lot of media, yank it to some girl breasting boobily down the stairs, or turn your brain off and just Watch
do what you want, forever, just block shit if other people upset you because you and I know that there's no budging from our own interests
#qq posts#the pro/anti thing feels so hollow now even if alot of big accounts are still duking it out#just saw a no name reviewer make an off the cuff post over a very creepy line a mid-20s guy says of a 14yr old#and she got dogpiled by BOTH sides of this bullshit#and the original author who wrote that seriesgot dogpiled because of course they would be with how rabid some ppl are over 'immoral fiction#fictional stuff is fictional but presenting a creepy scenario and expecting no one to react from that is ????#people are still allowed to comment on shit even if theyre not attacking the moral character of the author...#discourse watch#okay done now this is just bullshit that caught my attention in between The Horrors

playing an ongoing game called ‘learn whats acceptable to say in someones tags or get blocked’. a lot of you are losing.
#i know i can be cringe or annoying but like. theres a difference between joking on something vs fucking insulting someone you dont know#is this person talking about something they enjoy that you dont? filter the tag and post content and go on with your day#if theyre too annoying then just unfollow for a bit and check back later even#is this person a fan of a character you hate?? put it on your own post instead of coming onto someones account to bitch in their tags#you are literally insulting a real life person over a fictional character. over a show. over a comic. what is wrong with you.#unless the thing they like is actively rooted in real life hate (racism sexism misogyny ableism transphobia etc) that will reflect#and cause real life harm then it literally doesn't fucking matter if you disagree with someone.#youre not making me want to read and consider your opinion about something i literally consume for fun and because haha autism s/i#by calling me an idiot or by saying how i (a disabled person) am ‘braindead’ because i have a different opinion or whatever.#youre just being mean because you feel like you have an excuse to pretend youre superior to someone#like idk how to break it to you but dick grayson isnt going to suck your dick despite you insulting a real person over him lmao.#anyways. im going to block you if you insult me. im going to block you if you see my post on something i like thats harmless and tell me#how much you personally hate it or disagree. i dont care. make your own post because now you cant make it on mine.#and my anon is temporarily off (sorry shy mutuals </3) because a lot of ppl dont have common decency on what's okay to say or demand lol

i dont have an actual name for it but depressed college au is probably one of my favorites. i dont really care for the adults in paranatural and thinking about how the activity club/others might grow up and continue their lives is so much more interesting to me
#i started reading this comic when i was 15? i think? and now im recently 23. i cant really say i relate or want to relate to 12 year olds an#y more. and yeah i prefer a lot more nuance and complexity when crafting+ reading stories#but when your protags are 12. well. yeah pass#pnats adults are fine but the kids are the ones i have any actual emotional interest or compulsion towards#so when i write something that might be less 'yippee whimsical wacky adventures' and the options are spender and zarei. again theyre fine bu#t i dont really care enough about spender and zarei#but i still want to write about adults you know. BEING 12 was hard enough you could not PAY me to go back into that headspace#honestly thats actually why most of wizard au takes place in their later school years#like you know those aged up mob psycho 100 aus. where mob is like a fireman and ritsu is an english major and theyre not exactly having epic#adventures anymore but theyre coming into themselves etc. god. thats the stuff 2 me#i used to hate aged up aus as a teenager bc i thought it was the author/artists excuse to put kids in weird situations. and idk considering#it was 2015. yeah fair. but i do think i get it now. teenage years are hard and theres a certain part of that hardness that i love. things#like growing up [from a 17yo perspective] and people you love going to college and trying to find yourself and dealing w friends and fear#for the future. THOSE are the kind of teen stories i like reading about. but when you start getting tired and mellowing out and things that#come with the end of college and grad school and growing up [from a 22yos perspective] is similar. but its more somber. youre older now#when the protagonists become people. thats what i like#wizard au is fun as a huge intense magical adventure project but depressed college au is just like. where i can project.#drinking an entire pack of mikes hard lemonade by myself and lying on the floor talking to friends about how im scared and pushing myself#towards a career that i love but dont know i can achieve. friends leaving. getting an apartment for the first time. and the second and#the third. that feels better when i can sit down and go 'okay. someday isabel will do this too. i might not understand. my friends might not#understand. nobody could understand and i could be alone. but max woke up with a hangover today and i know what that feels like' etc#idk just feels better. taking your favorite characters with you while you go through things. by which i mean#'taking my favorite characters and making them go through things'#you want them to be safe and happy and having fun. i want them to feel fear. we both know what we want from fiction and treasure each#depressed college au#dcau

i feel like ive said this before but the self ship community is either the sweetest most accepting community there is or a hell of harassment and pr-shipping which is um. interesting to be a part of👍
#red.txt#and i mean the weird kind of pr-shipping (you know the one) not the kind where yhey ship with a villain#thats normal. that shouldnt be called pr-shipping#just ????? why#i HAVE seen your typical 'its okay to ship with a character who is a minor theyre fictional'#and like listen#im trying not to be terminally online#and i understand where they come from qhen they say that#i think you cant judge a person by what they do in fiction#but like#its weird#it is very weird#its not morally reprehensible but its Weird (derogatory)#at least MY f/o has a canon adult version man#it is SO EASY to not be a weirdo#but whatever#i have a block button

i absolutely fucking adore that you can write a super detailed post and have it be ENTIRELY unclear as to whether youre referring to felix & locus, or dirk & jake.
#srs09:m:haix#srs09:a:you ever wonder#i mean. /i/ could not do this. i dont know enough about hmstk to write something detailed enough#i only know the basics of that Damned webcomic#orange one likes blades.#green one is a recluse#is jakes thing a gun? a sniper? if so then green one favours guns#relationship universally agreed to be toxic#yet the fans had regular heated debates as to whether this was an appropriate thing to endorse#one Fucking Dies in close proximity to the other#<not spoiling either but its the same colour for both#probably the most talked about duo in the community#characters introduced well after they meet for the first time#fans frequently argue whether the duo is actively putting on a persona at all times or if theyre just Like That#''yes the orange one is an asshole but hes fictional so its okay''#green one consistently uwuified for no real reason other than 'orange guy bad'

I still can't believe yall sat in my face and tried to explain why it's actually fine that the sex worker isekai light novel/manga adaptation's protagonist is a high school girl with past sexual trauma because something something girl power.
Drop dead.
#thotty talks anime#There's just nothing in the world that will make that scenario okay to me like what would have been lost if she was a grown woman?#thotty rants#i find myself hitting a wall with anime and manga alot because the fans refuse to question why theyre okay with the sexualization of hsers#Like whenever you bring it up its quickly handwaved with 'well um you see work culture in japan is sooo hard that the only freedom you get#is in high school! Like okay its fiction tho...its made up#surely you can write adults with a healthy enough work life balance to show them doing other things in a work of fiction#also when we're talking about iseki with in usually 99.9999999999% escapist fantasy wouldn't it make even more sense for the characters to#be grown adults given the excuses youre presenting?#idk this whole thing makes me tired and reminds me why i dont interact with anime fans too much

Finished all the white spaces by ally wilkes hopefully ill have the energy to write something for my silly sideblog but id definitely recommend it. Like it started pretty slow but its really good once it ramps up and it was just so refreshing to find more trans books that are like....actually good. Like where the protagonist being trans is yeah important to their character and motivations and all that but its never the sole focus because this is a book about Antarctic horror!!! And thank fucking god im so tired of gay and trans people being relegated to romance books and tragedies i need more genre fiction PLEASE
#Definitely look into it if you like the thing or just horror in general#Like i said it starts slow but it does get good#It is also like historical horror fiction it takes place in 1920 so i get if thats not your thing and there was definitely a few times wher#I was like okay Jonathan you gotta progress on that character arc faster and realize the horrors of war sooner dude but#Overall pretty good 4 out of 5 book if i was on good reads#Its not a 5 out of 5 its got some repetitive parts and occasionally theres some descriptions of disabilities where im like come on but#Theyre not major flaws even though they are there

Thinking about how the one thing that made me interested in that guy I met at my cousin's party was how I didn feel threatened by him. Like I always feel threatened by men to some extent irl, especially ones I don't know, but that dude felt safe. Honestly he was kinda average looking and his personality wasn't super interesting, he was just a Guy, but the way I felt comfortable around him and not scared made him genuinely attractive. If it wasn't for the Safe Vibes I wouldn't care about that person at all and I don't know how to feel about that
#like okay sorry for being blunt but the main thing that made him attractive in my mind was how i wasnt scared that hed assault me#which is. weird#i dont like that#i mean its great that i felt safe around someone#but i really dont like how low is the bar for me. and i dont like how thats still very rare that anyone meets that standard#i mean i dont feel that about women. never felt threatened by anyone just because theyre a woman/woman presenting#but the only men ive ever found attractive irl just had very non threatening vibes for some reason#thats trauma for you#also i find it kinda funny how its oretty much the opposite in fiction#like im weirdly attracted to characters that could and would harm me#idk what that says about me lmao#bee buzz
