Sorry but I won't lie dude being like so cherubic and sweet looking as he thanks Xiao Lanhua for helping to essentially revive his heart and bring him back and then following that with And Now I Will Kill Everyone Who Has Ever Judged You Or Mistreated You- I Will Give You Back Your Home And You May Do With It Whatever You Please MY Angel is so. Like Noooooo don't commit genocide but also? The bad boy in a romance show being a sweetie to the girl he likes whilst speaking on that evil shit to everyone who's ever wronged her? Sorta everything to me right now.

....wait did anybody update the wind master in the aftermath of s2. Like they deserve the gossip! Here they are standing up for xie lian in court and he's like ha nope that was me and then there they are protecting his reputation like YES IVE DEFINITELY FOUND THE KIDNAPPED PRINCE WHO IS DEFINITELY 100% KIDNAPPED. They're out here (theoretically) looking out for his children. Did anyone tell this man what actually happened

The way that Rhys and Feyre is the most forced ass boring couple though??

It's only achievable in the narrative by completely and irrevocably twisting everything about the world and characters.

Examples:

-Tamlin's entire character needing to be re-conned, all of his romantic efforts towards Feyre needing to be refrained.

-Feyre has to loose all sexual and emotional agency. Suddenly, she isn't an empowered character but a damsel who can't communicate or express herself in meaningful ways - a man has to remind her that she has agency and empower her, because she's too broken to do it herself! But fret not! She's not too broken to be forced to reenact her own sexual assault! Turns out that Feyre was actually secretly into being drugged and dressed up in clothes that made her uncomfortable the whollllleeeee time!

-re the above: The retcon of Feyre's relationship with Nesta growing stronger, and how growing that bond and speaking with/trusting in her sister prompted Feyre to choose to sacrifice herself for love at the end of ACOTAR. Rhysand simply asserts that Tamlin and Nesta are bad people who never deserved the love of selfless, pure hearted Feyre and her response is basically "LOL you are SO right!"

- everything about Tarquin. Reread the passages in ACOMAF Summer Court again and give me one singular solitary reason why Tarquin isn't the ideal love interest for Feyre as a character. The narrative literally has to TALK FEYRE OUT OF considering him a valid romantic lead by saying that he could never "understand her darkness" which is about the stupidest statement i think any novel's protagonist has ever uttered.

- everything about Lucien, who put his life on the line and sacrificed his safety multiple times. He looses his inner fire and becomes the narrative punching bag so that the narrative can boldly claim that Feyre never had any REAL friends or REAL family until she met the Inner Circle (ie, Rhysand's friends and family).

-they don't even fall in love naturally but are drawn together as soulmates. Another point against Feyre having actual agency in the text.

Rhysand isn't even a good Partner. Hes just a mind reader with floppy dark hair and a tragic backstop to make you feel sorry for him.

Okay after reading your Chandler post I've decided I need a movie musical like they did with mean girls but less bad and also more of a combination of every iteration of the show and the original movie.

I think musical movie Chandler should have a scene similar to the bathroom one from the movie, while also adding the elements you talked about in your post as well as keeping in some of those original more mean spirited lines they cut from west end while changing the tone to a more friendly/teasing one in certain scenarios.

As for JD I think they should keep the emphasis on his tragic backstop and make him sympathetic while also keeping in the original version of Blue, as I personally still like the way that was handled in the off broadway production more. Idk, my ideal version of JD is one where we see him the way Veronica does but with more clear eyes if that makes sense??

Anyways sorry for ranting in your ask box. You triggered a big stream of thoughts and I didn't wanna put it all the replies of my post lmao

Don’t worry; my ask box is, to put it mildly, vacant.

First off, I love the new Mean Girls and will not stand for this slander.

Secondly, I would recommend actually watching West End Heathers, and specifically the revival, (I have several bootlegs, as well as the proshot, if you need any), before analyzing things too much. There’s a lot there, and, frankly, going back to the 2014 production after getting used to the newer one makes the older version feel laughably unpolished.

I do agree that the loss of the bathroom scene (an annoying term, since Mean Girls also has an important bathroom scene which serves a similar function, but I knew what you meant) is unfortunate, but I don’t think it’d work in an adaptation of the musical; it would drag the tone so far down that I think it’d be very difficult to make Dead Girl Walking work.

Movie Chandler has to be tragic prior to her death because she doesn’t appear after it. That, combined with the more blatantly villainous nature of movie JD, lets the party feel like a “nobody wins” situation. In the musical, though, Veronica definitively loses, which is why DGW works. Then, we have many scenes of Chandler after her death in which to establish her depth and the tragedy of her death. This works better for the musical, because this way the audience’s shifting opinion on JD can mirror Veronica’s, whereas in the movie it’s obvious he’s awful from his first scene.

Thank you so much for the ask!

Rafayel fanfic for Love and Keeps Deepspace

SFW 2.3k words Mermaid AU with discussion about how Rafayel may have gotten his Evol and his title of Abysswalker

I wrote this solely based on his nightly stroll date by the fountain at the hospital where he offhandedly mentioned his sure to be tragic backstop, and as a notorious angst lover I had to write something

If anyone has any thoughts about it I'd love to hear them u.u

[ragingbidragon24]

Don't get me wrong, Sephiroth is my favorite character in ff7, but Vincent Valentine will always have my heart. He's just a badass character with a tragic backstop. I'm just saying he deserved better than Lucrecia

[imreallyonthishellsite]

bleach fans....I get yall now. rn im at ch. 71 so here's a few of my thoughts out of order

¤ ichigo acting like he's just a normal ass high schooler while seeing ghost 24/7: 😠 (yk bc he got a rbc)

¤ karin saying with her full chest she doesn't believe in ghosts despite also being psychic is just perfect

¤ rukia pls I love you but just explain stuff to him ahead of time, not just when it's suddenly relevant (this is probably just a writing problem if I'm being honest)

¤ chad is such a good kid too💛💛 bro just want to help others

¤ so like is tatsuki gonna have reaper powers bc she also sees ghost now and is aware of all the weird shit happening???

¤ ichigo claiming that he's not a good person and doesn't care abt helping other people despite going out of his way to help others multiple times even tho he has no responsibility towards them: 🤡

¤ every time they show people bothering ichigo over his hair and reference the problems it brings him is adding to evidence that he's biracial

¤ ururu and that damn bazooka!!! slayy girl slayyy your enemies

¤ kisake urahaha after killing ichigo watching him turn into a hollow and then a soul reaper:😊🤪. (surely nothing bad can come of this action/s)

¤ ichigo thinking that he ruined his family's lives and that they should hate him made me want to cryyy. boy that's not your fault and isshin going she protected my child how could i hate that 😢

¤ rukia living in this man's closet is just insane, I love her

¤ Ishida pls stop getting into fights that you can't finish/keep losing your embarrassing me

as someone who hasn't played honkai 3rd its the funniest fucking thing looking up some of these characters and getting a type moon esque tragic backstop and then going into star rail and its like "ah here's himeko the friendly train milf"

[sandycoloredcurlsblog]

To celebrate the release of Season 2 of Gonny and Georgia, here's my hot takes of the series and its characters!

The general popular lack of sympathy is due to Ginny being written by white female writers.

The only reasons theres sm sympathy for Georgia is due to the flashback episodes and the tragic backstop.

Georgia is NOT a great mom, but she IS a LOVING mom.

Max is actually the horrible friend, not just to Ginny, but to Abby.

Abby and Ginny are two sides of the same coin.

Ginnys feelings and expression of those feelings are a product of how she was raised, her background, and her situation, Georgia is NOT some innocent perfect little fairy with the big bad mean daughter.

Her going so fast with Marcus, was most likely a coping mechanism born out if trauma to deal with feeling like she has no bodily autonomy.

Marcus is only liked due to being conventionally attractive, and a "fanfiction fantasy".

Anyone is Ginny's position WOULD act the very same if not very similar.

<3

Also, Senshi backstop was the most unexpectedly tragic thing that I had read?! I wanted to give him all of the hugs!

Yeah no, I completely forgot he almost got 'DONNER PARTY'D.' in his arc.

[karcatgirl-vantas]

peak blorbo would be a character who goes back in time and perpetrates their own tragic backstop against themself

[jinxart573]

For today's drawing we have my first attempt at this style, with the subject being my OC, Valen. He is a doctor and necromancer, with a pretty tragic backstop haha.

[sheirukitriesfandom]

From the OC emoji post for whichever OC you want to use! There were too many good ones to choose from.

💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

🌺 HIBISCUS - do they have any allergies?

🏊 SWIMMING - can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean?

🌪️ TORNADO - what is the biggest change you've ever made to them? how have they changed from their original version?

Huiii I agonised over the OC choice and then forgot. Sorry 😞 Anyway, doing this for my boy Gileth Sadras.

💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

Rage. Gileth's emotions are a problem in general, but Gileth has the most trouble dealing with rage and if Gileth loses control of himself, things get very dangerous for the people around him due to his pyromantic talent.

🌺 HIBISCUS - do they have any allergies?

Not so much an allergy (I think) but Gileth's lactose intolerant.

🏊 SWIMMING - can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean?

Gileth can swim and he loves to do it because it cools him down and briefly alleviates his worries about accidentally setting things on fire. He's a decent swimmer but not a very fast one.

🌪️ TORNADO - what is the biggest change you've ever made to them? how have they changed from their original version?

The biggest change I ever made to him was giving him his tragic backstop. He was just a normal wandering historian at first. Poor guy ☹️

[eranova]

Do you have any for 💌YTTD?💌

I have actually never heard of this game so now I'm watching a playthru of it. My character would most likely be a yandere type with a tragic backstop.

They'd look something like this (couldn't really replicate the style on my phone,, I'd probably do it better if I was in pc )

[bloodycassian]

You guys interested in first person perspective stuff? Like "I touched his face with the back of my hand"... this would likely mean using "I" perso amity as an OC that is witty funny with a tragic backstop and loves bad endings
