Catra being anxious and having panic attacks over the bad things she did is actually counter productive to any hypothetical scenario where she is self reflecting and/or receiving constructive criticism.
Her potentially having crippling anxiety over being an asshole in the past PREVENTS and/or DELAYS any changes she might potentially make.
Making this character spiral over moral dilemmas does not inherently mean she’s actively working to change her ways. Her being afraid of facing her badness does not make her good; it simply means she has anxieties toward constructive criticism/dialogue.
two wrongs WILL make a right!
ive got another lease on life, and im using it well,

How else do you fill a void other than with darkness? How do you bend into the light and not burn completely? How do you hold a heart and not feel it struggling to beat?
also this isnt really proper shade at larian or anything and the writing of this game is SAURE good so dont take it this way but.
i sure do wish. Minthara was not villain batted as hard as she was. Her being locked to "evil" runs and being mutually exclusive with several party members. Her being nothing more than a miniboss for your average player- who does not even know shes a potential party member! Her being so chronically unloved by the community because... shes the "evil" companion. Hell, even the amount of people saying frankly really edgy shit about killing her or hurting her completely unprompted lmao. Like I genuinely think shes been pretty unfairly demonized both by the community and by the meta of just like... the game itself because she's really actually..... kind of, dare I say, sweet? if you get to know her. ugh.
I can't believe they put my boy Mytho "does fucked up shit to himself because his entire identity and self image relies on being loved(in the right way by the right people)" and my girl Rue "does fucked up shit to everyone else because her entire identity and self image relies on being loved(in the right way by the right people)" togehter in the same show and never did anything to meaningfully juxtapose and explore All That
everytime i watch shameless I get hit with a jolt of sickness and remember how frank and monica stole fionas life from her and she'll never get it back because it never existed because she was a sister first her whole life (from the age of 4) and everything else second and its always just so casual in the show and normal and rarely touched upon but it's not normal at all and it's tragic
I tried watching some of the Ian/Mickey scenes from season 11 and it made me ill. These are IMPOSTERS. That is not Ian and Mickey!! Especially Mickey!!! Look at how they massacred my boy. But one of the most frustrating parts is that if you watch the deleted scenes it shows that someone in that writers’ room DID know how to write Ian and Mickey but the producers or whoever makes that decision were like “nah, no meaningful conversations that show how much they love and respect each other and are working on their relationship. These fans who’ve been watching the characters struggle for a decade want them to continuously argue and beat the shit out of each other and act like they hate each other!”
I know I said Carol can do whatever the hell she wants, but the way she keeps saying "you should hate me. please don't hate me" instead of just "sorry" and more importantly "are you ok?" is driving me nuts
the good place dissertation please please please. just kidding i just wanted to rejoice in another person hating that show
it's so crazy to me because aside from a few aspects of the first season it's overwhelmingly bad, and everyone talks about it as if it was this amazing life changing piece of art. did we watch different shows or did saying the names of philosophers confuse people.
god the writing in KG is just impeccable and it does NOT get the credit it deserves because i can put any two characters from the main 5 together in a pair and they'll have some interesting contrasts and points in common that they don't have with the others
id like to one day be openly genderfluid. and id like to one day talk to my family about it, despite them claiming to be supportive, without knowing i will hear comments about how they cant ever see me as a man, or about how beautiful of a young lady i am as is, or how adjusting will be too difficult for some relatives. and knowing the way they will look at me when i start to express myself more will not carry much acceptance. maybe im reading my family wrong. maybe i took a couple comments too personally. yes, my gender expression is my business and i can do what i want, they agree with that. but i know there's a slight problem with it for them too.
i really just want to be open. i dont really like what i am right now. in general, but i feel like i could like myself if i could be what i want. i keep taking it back on myself and force myself to just deal, even if family is supportive (kind of) there's random people and people in power trying to k!ll people like me. but i feel like i cant settle with that and go with it, thats why pride exists and why we still push for equality and rights and visibility.
i wonder if i would even feel happy though. i feel like i have to just "deal with it" and be what i am now and just. wait until i accept myself "as is," i guess, though that doesn't make any sense to myself, and i honestly will continue to feel worse by trying to do that. but i cant do anything right now but deal. i cant be myself. i cant be open. i dont know where im going with this. i rant like this so much and have no idea what my end point was supposed to be. it probably all sounds corny.
i feel afraid to be what i want to be, to be honest. i dont really think i can be it. i feel like im not deserving of it, and ive looked at myself in mirrors plenty of times and thought that i will always be who i currently am and cant possibly change, and why should i even try. one day i hope i can be open, i just dont know when, if at all
Okay jokes about my affection for sad awful guys aside, despite all my moods and stress and everything the last two weeks have been???? Good?? Or not good, but manageable? Everything still feels bad, I'm still stressed af all the time, I'm still lacking purpose and direction and feeling aimless ennui, but just...being on my own and in control. I can run errands when I want or need without being asked constantly where I'm going and why and when I'll be back. I can eat and cook on my own schedule. I can do chores on my own schedule. I'm in /control/ of when things get done and it's just??? The establishment of a routine and living space that I am completely in control of is literally life changing and I'm about to lose it again
