charles_leclerc How I masterminded my way into catching my girlfriend by surprise with the fact that I actually am a Swiftie:

1. Adore how passionate she becomes when talking about her favorite artist

2. Let her rant about album theories, which "Taylor's version" we get next, and finally listen properly when she explains the folklore love triangle

3. Learn Taylor Swift's entire discography, from debut until now

4. Pester the whole grid in helping me get The Eras front row tour tickets

5. Surprise her with the concert tickets and just watch her have the time of her life (surprised that I know the lyrics to the songs)

6. Just when she thinks the night ends at the concert, take her to a magnificent dinner and propose using a "Paper Rings" reference.

isahernaez Oh my god the big surprise is finally here! Congratulations, you two 🥂

Hey - I love your blog and have been meaning to send you an ask for a while! Zack's been one of my favorite directors for a long time (I still need to see Rebel Moon!) and it's so bizarre, if anything else, how he's become this /one guy/ that people just love to smear and ridicule? I looked up the Rebel Moon tag on here today to see some cool shots to reblog later and I saw like ten posts shitting on the movie. Granted, I haven't seen it yet, but I almost want to like, conduct a sociology study on why people get so angry about his work and him as a guy?

He's a filmmaker! He loves movies. He seems to be a genuinely nice guy. Works with and casts a ton of women and people of color. Is excited about the art and science of making movies. And yet there's this huge anti-Zack Snyder wave, still. It's such a weird phenomenon. I honestly thought people were just pissed about him (unjustifiably, anyway) about Batman v Superman (a movie I still adore), but who knows. Great blog, in any case, and sorry for the quasi-rant. 😂😅

Genuinely, a baffling experience. Because like I think people who dislike him are just really loud and people who enjoy him have proven to be expansive and multicultural just from my very brief look at how diverse The Snydercut movement was at its peak. And I don't know, for me personally, I always blame it on America. Like I know that's such a simplistic statement but I do. I think its just this very bizarre experience for me because here, the Philippines, I've seen people dislike his movies but that's it. That is the extent of it. I've had my family and friends enjoy his movies and I've had discussions with people who don't enjoy it here and thats it. The online almost arrogant vitriol that comes with "hating him and his movies" is just something I've seen to be very loud from mostly americans? Like again, I can't tell how accurate this is cos its not like its something we can peer study although I would love to see people try. But yeah definitely!!! It's kind of crazy because I've loved all his movies for years and the first movie I watched of his was 300 when it came out! So it's just been a really fun ride for me to go through movie to movie having a blast. Because the thing for me with Zack is if you jump in the ride for him it's a hell of a ride! So that's mostly my experience with it. AND SERIOUSLY I LOVE TALKING ABOUT MOVIES/HIS MOVIES so this was not weird at all! Also yes I've been enjoyign your blog too and its not weird for me to say it out loud now. Hahaha.

First of all, feel free to delete this, I dont want to make anyone feel uncomfortable with this ask, that being said I need to dump my thoughts of the Tasty AU and I dont know where else to go

Okay so, I'm 1/3 through the tasty au tag and I just... am so confused?

Like, yes, I understand the concept, I just dont know how I feel about it. Because it's not bad, the concept it's great and has incredible potential for horror and angst in cybertronian x human relationships (platonic or otherwise even) that's not the thing that makes me confused, again, it's amazing, please continue the AU

I just,,,, I feel weird about it,, but not necessarily bad?? and I dont know what to do with that information,,,

Best way I could put it is when you find a weird niche fetish/kink (safe vore in this case) and get confused that you dont particularly hate it, so now you're wondering if you should indulge in it to figure out if it's a yes or a no

Again, if this whole rant makes you feel unconformable just delete it, I have notifications on so if this isn't answered I'll just send another ask saying sorry (🌾 as an identifier)

In the meantime I'm just going to continue reading in hopes of clearing the confusion tbh, hope you have a good day either way

Hey! Thank you for sending an ask about this!!

First of all I totally get the confusion HAHA. Stuff like safe vore is an incredibly niche/hit-or-miss thing, so I totally understand not being a hundred percent certain on how you feel about it! I know a long time ago I was literally disgusted by it hahah, so it’s crazy to see how things have changed for me

The most I can do I guess in this case is express what I enjoy about it so you can maybe understand your own feelings about it better! In my case I really enjoy the fear/thrill factor. The sort of idea in this story that other beings have such power over you and you can’t do anything about it— and yet, despite that fear, sure there’s angst and conflict between characters and the like, but there’s never actually any real damage done. Thus why I never really enjoy violence or gore or like actual death in these kind of scenarios haha.

I appreciate the fact that you went through the tag to gather your feelings and that you sent a really respectful message about it! You just wanna learn more and I totally get that! I was the same way, and still am the same way about a lot of things!

So if anything, I say if you’re comfortable, maybe explore it some more! Hone in how you feel about it in whatever way works best for you! There’s no judgement either way, and again I appreciate the fact that you reached out about it rather than like send hate HAHA or (which would have been totally valid too) just blocked an move on. You wanted to know more and explore a possible aspect of yourself you didn’t consider otherwise and that’s really admirable!!

Sorry this was long winded hahaha! TLDR, explore these things in the way that works best for you, and I appreciate the time you took in reaching out and being respectful about it anyway :)

#relic answers #tasty au #keeping this in the main tag since I think this is important for everyone to keep in mind

i was thinking about you (and ovipos!morax...again) earlier, and i just want you to know that your writing inspires me to throw caution to the wind.

like, i used to hesitate and ask myself how will this be received? will ppl get mad or offended if i write my wildest fantasies? will i alienate certain readers if i go too far?

but i've realized while writing this zhongli scent thing that you've given me the courage to just let it all hang out. to write what i'm passionate about and put it out there. it takes courage (or is it madness?) to throw your creation to the wolves in hopes that it won't be torn apart. i've also taken a few pages from your book, as it were, and fkd,dmdjdkddk CRYS? my depravity has graduated to a whole new level and it is exhilarating.

so...just...thank you. for being a fearless writer and an amazing human! i give you kitheth mwahmwah! 🧡

hahaha omg I really did give you brainrot huh welcome to my world//HIT

I mean I would say it depends on what you want to do, what you hope to achieve or what direction you wanna go with your blog, most people write sfw with a dash of nsfw around or half and half. I specifically just do nsfw and hyperfixate on zhongli only (hehe) but that's bc idk I never expected to have "an audience" even less actually find friends!

I genuinely just expected to like leave my weird ass posts and stories here floating in tumblr and get no notes just oh I'm anon I can do whatever I want just go wild go feral LOL and if ppl like it cool, if ppl don't like it cool too, not my problem.

I never though I'd found this lovely precious community and I LOVE it!! <3 I love everyone here.

And tbh finding friends here is both an incentive but also quite honestly it makes me a little scared/self conscious bc yeah like you say what if these ppl I now care about get upset or something. I actually made a small rant exactly about this some months ago (not me bringing attention to my own cringy rant acfsxgsavbhjabj)

point is, I TOTALLY get your. for reals. 100% but I've learned people here are so welcoming and nice and accepting and we all just have fun being chaotic and horny and loving our characters and our writing in the craziest ways!!

And like you say it's just idk it's fun!! All liberating and exhilarating LOL I just ask minors not to follow me/interact why is that so hard sckbjasnclxa

and like

idk

you'd be surprised....

ppl really do enjoy the craziest things we write like I made two versions of the same story more or less and to my absolute SHOCK the one tagged with rape/non-con has DOUBLE the amount of notes as the angsty/bittersweet one. HMMM??? Dark content enjoyers be thriving I guess???

also not your piss post getting almost 100 notes LMAOOOOOOOOO

I've seen enough weird shit to be desensitized at this point (I mean even before coming here, genshin shippers community in general be SOMETHING ALRIGHT and Zl just attracts all the kinks HAHAHAHA)

Anyway GODS this got so long I'm sorry but I just wanna say I fully 110% support you and I'm suuuuper happy we're friends sharing the same one braincell that's horny for zl 24/7 it's so much fun!! Do what makes you happy, don't feel pressured, and I know you have a genuine passion for writing so yeah follow your heart go wild!!

Love ya!! <3<3<3

#and if something flops don't be sad #it just stays here #so who knows in the future //hit #write what YOU like and feel proud of and the feels will be genuine and the writing will be special <3 #crys answers #kel friend

hey ho, op of the totk rant about the sandbox approach to totk here, i read your tags and i just wanted to add that i am german and played the game with the original japanese audio and german text, i like to call the things as the names i know them as even if i know the english version of them as well :D

i understand that you like the sonau tech stuff (personally i found it super clunky and mostly too tedious to deal with .. also i just like walking or riding around gdfhkbndj) and i get that, i totally do! and im not trying to argue against having that sort of movement in the game, but the EXECUTION of it!

like you could have achieved the same kind of movement and abilities with shiekah tech, you have all the parts from guardians, you could make flying maschines too! even more effiecient with guardian legs beign able to step over stuff that wheels get stuck on- and after zelda is in charge now shiekah tech could have been developed further again since she liked it too and wouldnt impose any rule against it, the time reversal for example could just have been the stasis rune but taken further- and if you had zelda as your companion, you could have an ability to losely attached the pieces you want to build (like with the shiekah arm prosthetic i gave link for the rewrite im doing for example) and zelda does the actual building to make it work in a quick little animation- for nearly everythign the sonau are used for the shiekah basically already had it and its driving me nuts that they instead undid it all only to .. do it again but worse o-o

sorry for the lil rant hdbksbfsbfkjd

YEAH I TOTALLY AGREE!!! The stuff that they wanted to implement could have been done much better with more ✨nuance and finesse✨ than the actual execution, and the reason given that the Sheikah tech just magically disappeared one day???? Bullshit. No one acknowledges this, and there are still Sheikah tech parts in the towers and the tech labs??? It obviously didn't ALL go away bc it's still there in those specific places. I don't know how the tech that's lasted 10,000 years up to this point, that works regardless if we take the tower warp pads as evidence, would know that the Calamity is gone and just disappear. It didn't go away once you did all the shrines, and you could argue that the monks were the last living part of it that would know if Link did it or not???

It's just. It's stupid, and very evident that the director was different from one game to the next. Totk kind of undoes the message that botw had and that just makes me angy (not to mention the blatant lore crimes that we're all going to have to work around if we wanna make the whole timeline make sense. I want to tear my hair out).

It would be better, as far as the botw shrines go, to just make them inactive. The door closes, the light goes out, the warp pad turns off. The totk shrines are plopped around because that's a Rauru thing, and they look like they're going to disappear anyway once his spirit is at rest, bc it's just a big rock, a decorative stone thing, and some sand. They're not part of the landscape like the botw shrines were.

Really, I only like the Zonai tech for the hover bike part and the steering stick applications, everything else I don't usually touch (though rocket shields are fun as a replacement Revali's gale). Like a lot of people have done really cool things with it, but I'm not those people 😂😂😂 I just have my One Thing that I use to get around scary places and it pulls left pretty hard so it's far from perfect.

The same thing could have been accomplished many different ways without introducing the Zonai. Like I would have given anything to see the Twili come back with their lore entwined with the Sheikah (bc the Sheikah probably learned how to make their stuff from the Zonai! It would make sense if the game acknowledged it).

Hahaha,,,,, I could go on about this forever tbh. My opinion on totk as a whole is: fun to play but disappointing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now all we can do is fix it with fanfic.

Though that was a good idea on how to re implement the Sheikah stuff! If you're cool with it, I might use it :3c (not for a whole retelling of totk, just for like. Flavor in the au I'm working on bc I was already planning to ignore the botw shrines disappearing.)

#Never never ever apologize for lore dumping like that #I love this stuff so much #loz #Totk #Replies #long post

I hadn’t made that Friends comparison but I see the vision! But I don’t think it’s fair to compare Ross to Chuck at all lol. Ross is a fun character imo (David Schwimmer was just so fucking funny in that role so I don’t understand when people say they wish Ross wasn’t on the show cause like a lot of the most iconic moments are his!) while Chuck is boring as hell after s1. And to me Ross and Rachel are a great example of a toxic but not abusive relationship. Like yeah they had their bad moments but they were meant to be in that way chair fans claim chuck and Blair were, but unlike chair, the Friends writers showed not told the audience why Ross and Rachel belonged together without constant cheesy dialogue you know? Anyway sorry to rant about Friends in your inbox lol but I saw my name in those tags and well yeah

that is fair! i thought i mentioned in the tags that i know the ross/chuck comparison is a biased one, but it looks like i forgot to say, that, RIP. so yeah, i do know that the negative aspects of both characters are really not on the same level at all, and i think it’s fair to point that out!

for the record, there ARE things i like about ross as a character (i cannot say the same for chuck at all), and i agree with you about david schwimmer being amazing in that role!

that said, i feel like ross is just canonically so weird about gender roles and whatnot, it's really uncomfortable, and some of the episodes my cousins and i were watching were the ones in which he doesn't anull his marriage to rachel and lies to her about it, which is really messed up imo, in terms of consent and how you treat your friends and all that... twas an uncomfortable few episodes to watch. hashtag did not like.

do i think ross is as bad as chuck? of course not! do i think ross is as boring as chuck? also no, no way. but ross leaves a bad taste in my mouth personally, in the same way that chuck does. like.... i like the entire main cast so much, but both of them are that ONE character whose personality flaws are just not funny to me, and are uncomfortable instead.

fwiw, i don't feel like ross shouldn't have been on the show, but there are parts of how he is written which, even though i know are intended to be messed up & were written that way deliberately, just make me personally so uncomfortable. if i were in charge of writing ross, there's a lot i would've changed but there is also a lot that i would've kept. i think he had potential, but his flaws were just far too indigestible / unforgivable for me, personally.

so i hope that explains where i'm coming from! i agree with everything you've said in the ask, LOL, and was anticipating a response like this, so don't apologise for ranting! i was excited to see you in my inbox as well, hahaha. i missed you and our interactions here, hope you've been well! <3 <3 <3

#meta #friends sitcom #idk what people who blacklist friends have it tagged as. so this is how im gonna tag it #anti chuck #anti ross geller #friends spoilers #i ... guess ?#strideofpride

hahaha this post pissed me off (probably controversial rant under the cut)

"exactly like dont interact with it then" I CANT. BECAUSE NOBODY TAGS THEIR SHIT PROPERLY. i can't find NORMAL ANYTHING anymore on ao3 because its all flooded with sans au ensembles and shit. and nobody tags them as "alternate universe: _____" so, its actually quite IMPOSSIBLE to avoid.

yeah there are some aus i like, but notice how they aren't the ones that only focus on sans??!! i have to search through a sea of garbage sansxsans au stuff to actually find fics and comics about undertale.

"without aus the game wouldn't last 2 years" CRAZY TAKE. you guys are so blinded by all this mischaracterized single focused TRASH that you cant possibly understand how much of a timeless work undertale is. the lore and secrets are so rich, and there are sooo many great characters to focus on. i am a 7 year long fan of undertale and my love for it has grown stronger over time, without the help of aus. did i dabble in some? yes, and i still do (rarely.) but god, don't you ever get bored??? this is literally the same guy interacting with HIMSELF in DIFFERENT CLOTHES. if ur gonna make au stuff, please spice up your aus/au fics with other UT characters i beg you.

and YEAH. i do believe aus ruined the fandom to an extent. that corner of the fandom is where controversy and problems are BORN. ive lost so many of my fave fic writers/comic makers to aus because they turned into proshippers and stopped writing actually good stuff. how are you gonna swap out a ship between 2 entirely different characters with good chemistry for a sans x sans ship thats INSANE to me. and the mischaracterization from the au fandom drives me absolutely wild.

it makes me so sad to see new fans only knowing the new sans au stuff or poorly plotted undertale things instead of some of the classic masterpieces i grew up with. sometimes i watch those undertale reaction gacha videos and get SOOO sad and disappointed when they only react to aus and weird fangames/bad comics that are so inaccurate it hurts.

i wanna guide them in the right direction to some actually good stuff so they realize how great the game is completely ON IT'S OWN. can barely find good content anywhere anymore. i wish i was a little older when undertale came out so i could fully experience it in its prime days. i love undertale but being younger made me late to the party. i still saw most of the classic stuff early on tho so yesss! (got into the fandom in early 2017 and that story is hilarious)

anyway enough talk about me lol.

i could talk about this for hours but this post is getting long and my fingers are getting tired. sorry for my ritual essay long rant that most likely no one will see, but sometimes u gotta have ur hot takes and yell about them even if nobody's listening. thanks, have a very undertale day!

#sans au slander #undertale rant #rant #yall im so fed up #there's some aus that don't really apply to this i like some #i will not be reading fanfics about them tho! the single work it comes from is enough for me #this undertale fan is NOT a sans au fan #sans is one of my fave characters too so this says a lot about how bad these aus are..😭#sans au rant

phony ppl recap

it was incredible! it was really great, but first i am going to rant about white people being so anxiety inducing... white girl #1 asked if she could tag along with me and my friend...? and she was like well i'm alone and you know the crowd is rowdy and i was like, in my head, like ? bitch what do you think i care? am i responsible for you? the crowd wasn't even that rowdy (some other white girl was shifting about but it wasn't that bad). white girl #2 was okay she was just tall in the second row and took awhile to give me space. at some point i was at the very back, along the staircase, and it was so cringe seeing white group #3 and white couple #4 dancing hahaha. at some point one of them took a backfacing camera selfie... with the flash on? and my eyes died i looked pissed in the background i think. at the end of the show, i was sitting at a bar table by myself and this old white lady #5 tried to talk to me about how there wasn't enough seating in the bar? and i was like oh okay lol.

anyway, lesson learned, white people at lincoln hall are no buenz but i mean i could hold my ground. i really liked my makeup and some girlies complimented it and that made me feel special! i did baby blue glitter with my baby blue cardigan and asymmetrical cheek sparkles -- two stars on one side (why iii love the moon) and two circle sequins on the other.

so i went with sg, a friend i've made in grad school. like all the non-american indians in my cohort, sg is from kolkatta and graduated from indian statistical institute, this genius school founded by mahalanobis. sg is super smart but it was her first concert.

the opener was this dj and he was so good. everyone was dance-y and that was so nice. notable parts were when he played suede, super rich kids, and this mac miller song. but his beats were lowkey fire i really liked them! part of me wants to think that he played andersoon .paak for me hahaha.

but this opener made us do THE ELECTRIC SLIDE and i didn't know how to do it lol. i bumped into people and spilled my water. sorry @ Black people lol i am rhythmically challenged on this front.

and then sg was super tired out by the opener so after the first one, i went to see her off in her uber. the bouncer was nice and let me re-enter when i explained the situation. (the opener was slot-a. so good. i just checked his IG and his daughter is going to be born soon!)

THEN i was on my own! and i went to hide out in the photo booth during the second opener because i was tired too. it was so fun being high and alone in the photo booth. i was thinking about a lot of things... a lot of things i forgot. i thought about 12 y/o amba. but it felt nice to have private moment in a photo booth. i felt utterly unperceived and ironic and humorous!

these really beautiful girls were resting their feet, sitting outside the photo booth. there were two friend groups that were kind of melding, and they seemed so fucking cool. it was nice eavesdropping their conversation. when they left to go back to the audience, i think one of them checked to see if i was still in there. but i was having fun thinking and also texting sg and ab (ab is also bengali and my FAVORITE). (okay speaking of ab, ab at some point texted me how excited he was to see his girlfriend that he feels like dancing. he's on a 33 hour journey back to his home!) but anyway these beautiful girls are planning on seeing this other concert that i have one ticket to! i wanted to ask them how they strategize around the ballroom venue but... i was in the photobooth alone lol so i did not want to disturb their conversation.

and then the second opener finished, i went to the bathroom and made a joke to a stranger girly about how our outfits coordinated. and when i was peeing i was thinking about how clean the bathroom stall walls were and what a shame that was. there was no writing on it! there was this guy who drank too much or something but he was taken care of just sitting in the hallway.

so now i have rested and i am back! i re-enter the stage and...

let me just rave about this venue for a bit. it's pretty small, but it's sloped, so you can see. there's also a lightweight bar inside the venue that's crazy! so nice. and they have lots of free water! but yeah anyway i returned inside and it was pACKED so i found the first open spot along a stair rail and stood there.

that was where i, in my unfortunate periphery, saw those weird white people. but there were some cool Black people like this couple next to me, these loud ass women behind me who seemed cool, and then this friend group in front of me. we got pretty dancey but it felt kind of awkward. i was here for most of the main set and it was good. i didn't know their new shit very well honestly but it was nice hearing it live and vibing.

oh! another thing was that it was fun being eyed by some guys but it also felt weird. like, i hope that me enjoying myself and being dancey isn't some invitation. but honestly all the guys were very well behaved UNLIKE THOSE WHITE GIRLS UGH I CAN'T. i guess i haven't dressed up in a bit so it was a welcome surprise HAHA it's a good reminder that i'm hot shit. there were some potentially cute e asian people there too but i did not get a close look.

anyway, while i was standing in the back on the stair rail, i kept on seeing these solo dolo people reenter the crowd. and after three people did it (spaced out), i gathered my balls and followed the fourth person i saw reenter the crowd. i wonder what the the people i was standing around on the stair rail thought. probably they didn't notice. but did they cheer for me as i conquered the crowd? hahahaha

but yeah i ended up in the third row which is partially due to how small the venue was. but it was pretty easy snaking through. i actually ended up near the people i was standing with during the first opener.

somehow, why iii love the moon, cookie crumble. GOOD SONGS! yesterday's tomorrow as well. honestly it was a tiring concert. there was a detour to sing happy birthday to this person named brooke; there was a lot of improv and flashy lights. i was so tired by the end! i went to sit in the photo booth but some people wanted to use it haha so i sat at a bar table that this couple was sitting at, but i asked if i could sit. and then i got some water. then my wait and save lyft picked me up

and holy shit my lyft driver was sooo nice. he was talking to me about what it's like driving for lyft and how he's had over 22,000 people in the 4 years 5 months of doing lyft. and his car was decked out lol with christmas decorations. i gave him the biggest tip i could because he was talking about how he doesn't discriminate on where to pick up customers. he says that southside people have a hard time being picked up because the drivers don't want to go there... yeah. he waited for me to enter my building gate and i waved bye to him and he rolled down his window to say bye! like he really valued safety. and on the way down the freeway he pointed out these cars that were absolutely fucking totaled and just left there. and how drunk drivers were very dangerous. i am really thankful because 12am picking me up from a bar -- i don't have the energy to deal with weird drivers and he is someone i would trust any of my friends to be passengers in his car.

anyway i couldn't sleep so i made some cong you bing with ji dan. and i tried packing a bit so i don't have as much to do tomorrow. and now i'm writing this before i forget.

Ok you reblogged a pic and tagged it “Leos” and it broke my brain cuz I am a Leo and I was thinking “hahaha same” when looking at the pic saying “we must be twin flames” “I make everyone feel that way” and then I looked down and saw your tag and it felt like I’d just been read/ like I was suddenly being too seen in a moment I didn’t realise I was being watched (like if you do something in public without thinking and think no one saw but then you look up and someone is staring right at you and it’s not like you were doing anything wrong but it still makes you feel so unbearably vulnerable in that moment knowing you were unexpectedly observed acting like yourself) So I just want to say thank you for that shock to my system it made me stop mindlessly scrolling to write this and now I’m going to actually get out of bed because I think I’ve had enough tumblr today now. Also I love your pic of the bratz doll as Jennifer. Every time I see a bratz doll it makes me think of how I used to swap my bratz heads around cuz you could push them down and pop their heads off. At the time as a kid I was thinking “if I swap all my bratz heads for a while they will get on better because they’ll get to know each other’s thoughts and they will be better friends when they switch back.” But maybe that was more about me being undiagnosed autistic and adhd and wishing I could swap my head so I could understand people. Anyway your bratz doll pic is awesome. I think you’re really cool. Sorry for the rant. Is this a Leo thing too? Not shutting up?? You have broken me lady. I will be thinking of astrology all day, but that’s a nice kind of chaos for the day instead of my usual kind so thank you. Have a lovely day 🌈💜

I think we should get dinner

if you ever wrote that rant about grrm making jon his chosen one deconstruction i'd be very happy to read it 👀

hello anon sorry for the lateness but here we go *deep breath*

sssooo, I had once ranted about it though not mentioning the thing I mentioned in those tags so lemme see if I can find the op and like... cp the main argument and amend it bc it was long, but okay so I found it, original anon asked me: why is Jon considered to be one of the most special characters grrm created? Why is he not the typical hero of fantasy books?, my original answer was here if anyone wants to go there but basically lemme just cp the first part making it shorter and then I'm adding:

first thing, the Typical Post-Tolkien Chosen One With A Shitty Life Before He Finds Out He Is Chosen™ character (I’m saying post-tolkien because every fantasy writer in existence who copies tolkien thinks that lotr went like that and instead it didn’t) usually goes through the following steps: his life sucks up until the beginning of the series, his family generally hates him/her or doesn’t appreciate them or abuses them or anyway doesn’t make their life easier and they’ve never known any different, but *something* never quite worked right and they always knew something was missing in their life, they just didn’t know why. suddenly someone who knows they were Chosen™ shows up and tells them that they’re actually Special because of this this and that and they have a quest to go on to save the world or something. our hero/heroine obviously is finally validated and while their quest is hard and full of hardships and maybe they lose a few friends along the way, finding out that they were Chosen gives their life meaning, they usually find love/friends/everything they didn’t have before until they fulfill the Prophecy™ and live more or less happily ever after, possibly after hooking up with the Person Of Their Dreams with whom they had UST up until the last twenty pages of the book. basically: being Chosen™ in regular fantasy novels is a good thing because suddenly you’re special and all the crap you suffered acquires a new meaning and in the end it made your life better.

jon snow is a complete overhaul of about everything in this sense because

instead of having a family who hates him he has a family who actually mostly loves him, and with ned it’s arguably so much that he risks royal treason by keeping him hidden from his *best friend* - sure, there’s cat and peripherally sansa, but his issues stem from the fact that he feels lesser because he’s a bastard (as far as he knows) and it’s a *class* issue, not a *my family hates me* issue not counting catelyn obv but that's what gives him freudian issues more on that in the emended part later

no one actually knows that he’s Chosen™ - like mel could get there and probably will and someone will put two and two together when his parentage comes out in the open, but he doesn’t have a gandalf or mentor who shows him The Way Towards His Quest

so instead of going from ‘my life sucks but I’m going on a quest which is gonna be a+’ he actively chooses to leave a fairly decent situation (a household he knows, siblings who love him - ned actually hoped he’d become robb’s counselor or right hand man or something from what we can gather) because he feels like he has to prove he’s better than his name and goes to the Crappiest Place In Westeros. like idk if people grasp it, but the wall is basically a prison and at the ripe age of fourteen he decides that it’s totally a good and honorable choice (his only choice actually) to go defend the realm in the freezing cold along with a bunch of criminals/derelicts/rejects of society

at which point he makes friends among said rejects and let’s remember that it’s the point where he actually has to do his first an only privilege when donal noye made him go like hey you were brought up with nobles these ppl are here because they stole bread, and that helps making him more into the person he is rn but like your tyopical fantasy hero who has had a shitty life doesn’t usually have to acknowledge that other people might have had it worse

then he goes on the Quest where he finds his first One True Love, and that’s where it turns even worse because usually the quest is where things start to go right for the Hero™, instead for jon they start to go wronger, because first he has to go undercover which pretty much tests most of his belief/code system, he falls in love with a girl he has to betray, half of his friends and his lord commander die along the way, while he’s off doing his thing winterfell gets taken/burned and robb dies when jon openly stated that he also was going to the wall to defend his family and keep them safe (yeaaah worked out real well), when he goes back to the wall he has to fight the people he lived with for months, the woman he loves dies in his arms and he can’t do anything about it and he’s aware it couldn’t have gone any other way, people put defending the wall on him and then put his loyalty in question, when stannis shows up with a legitimization (which is everything he ever wanted) he refuses because he doesn’t want to accidentally steal his siblings’s inheritance (which was what cat was so worried about hahaha) and actively chooses the crappy defending the realm life all over again. also in all this time his being Chosen™ hasn’t manifested or helped him in any way whatsoever - actually all his honor-moral code related baggage is what moral dilemmas come from that. like, your usual chosen hero™ would always take the right decision and it all turns out good eventually, jon takes the morally right decision and it all turns SOUR eventually

at this point he finally gets elected LC, thanks to his friends also pitching in, which is about the one fantasy hero™ thing that’s happened for now. should be good, yes?

lol no, because he ends up with THAT hellish responsibility at sixteen, since he thinks that he has absolutely to be even better than that now and he has very specific notions about how you should lead and he knows he has to take unpopular decisions/decisions that he doesn’t necessarily like, he ends up either having to send his friends away forreal (sam) or detaching from them (pyp/grenn/the likes) and when as far as he knows he learns that his sister is married to ramsay he can’t do anything about it

never mind that it’s the same situation as when he had to pick the watch or robb in book one - he went there to defend his family and now being there actually prevents him from helping them in person. ops. meanwhile he’s trying to implement a new vision of things which is modern and smart and actually makes sense because why fighting the wildlings when you have ZOMBIES coming. your usual Chosen One™ would get people to approve just because he’s the Chosen One

instead jon gets stabbed to death - okay, that was also because he wanted to go get arya but it was the last straw, people were pissed over the wildlings plan first and foremost

so basically he’s gone through all the Chosen One™ steps but in reverse - he loses his family which did love him instead of finding another one that makes the first pale in comparison, he does find a new one who loves him but has to alienate most of its members for responsibility reasons as a consequence of what should have been the crowning achievement of his life choices (which eventually is NOT one), he falls in love and they don’t drag the UST forever but they never get a chance to be together without small print in between, he chooses the admittedly most masochistic life he could for his family as well and half of them die and he can’t do a thing for the other half, every other mentor-like figure he runs into after ned dies, instead of finding validation he ends up having to isolate himself and on top of everything HE STILL DOESN’T FUCKING KNOW HE’S THE CHOSEN ONE™

so instead of his life going better the more he learns stuff and matures as a person, he gets murdered. by the people he trusts and who were supposed to be his new family. haha?

never mind that when he finds out he’s the Chosen One™ it won’t bring him closure because all he ever wanted was being full stark like his father/siblings and then bam he’s going to find out his father’s actually targaryen and what does that even mean to him?

on top of that being AA will just be a pain because I don’t believe for a second he’s not going to get leftover ptsd and who the hell is gonna help him deal with it? or how is he ever getting over his *brothers* murdering him? and people are going to ask stuff of him all over again and he’s gonna have to go slay a mythical monster and if I know grrm it’s not gonna be fun, pretty or cathartic FOR HIM

on top of that, Chosen Hero™ fulfills the prophecy and gets a realm to rule and everyone lives happily ever after. money is that if jon does get that realm (and I think he is because he has the best claim if he's legitimate and most likely it'll turn out he was on the targ side but ROBB also legitimized him so he has double the legitimization), he’s going to hate every second of it and he’ll take it because a) duty, b) literally no one else is available, and like this guy didn’t want to rule a realm or be a king or anything he just wanted to be a stark, and instead he’s going to have to after all that shit thanks to Magical And Noble Heritage he hadn’t even known he had and probably didn’t even want up to that point because since when jon wanted to be a targ? yeah since never

obviously I hope he manages to be somewhat happy regardless because the alternative is too miserable, but basically being a Chosen Hero™ is what makes jon’s life worse rather than better and the fact that hew went through all the regular self-discovery journey for the fantasy hero list doesn’t mean he’s not flipping that over in his sl. the fact that he stayed a decent person more or less throughout it and that he hasn’t turned into a bitter asshole also doesn’t change the main point XD

tldr: jon snow is not a typical fantasy hero because he deconstructs that trope into tiny little bits same as robb deconstructed the arthurian flawless king hero trope

now ^^^^^ THAT was what I originally wrote for that meta but adding on to what I said in those tags

okay so... there is a certain tendency to also make the chosen one™ special in the sense that he's kind of goals - good looking, rich or set to inherit, gallant, takes the initiative, he's like.. social or anyway immediately makes friends etc and all that jazz which jon... doesn't really fit

like jon is an introvert who immediately makes friends just with outcasts and his siblings also bc he feels like one but he's hardly a social butterfly and charms everyone wherever he walks by

I mean ffs says all that the only person he charmed in that sense is stannis who is the literal only person in charge in the books who is more introvert than him and has worse communication issues and appreciates ppl going straight to the point

on top of that in the book he looks like ned.... and arya looks like ned and ned isn't described as being particularly handsome that was brandon so he's not even like... I mean kit h. is v. pretty and I think he was a good choice for the role and I'll die on the hill that he was born to play that character and he did it well but book!jon doesn't have that kinda pretty face so the concept that he's the HOT alternative to anyone to me is kind of iffy bc he's not

he's shit at social interactions and at PR which is why robb and him would have been a key winning ticket like he has a better idea of the larger picture but robb would have actually made sure ppl didn't turn against them bc he actually was good at that but like he doesn't go around rallying armies in his name does he

the one time he's been with a girl it was ygritte and like he courted her without realizing it and then she had to pursue him and he barely knew wtf to do on top of the fact that they slept with ghost in the middle of them like a sword which..... is.... I mean sleeping with the sword in the middle was a thing to make sure the maiden stayed a maiden and he's the one who is like i CAN'T HAVE SEX WITH HER EVEN IF I WANT TO BECAUSE I'M TECHNICALLY SPYING ON THEM like... he's not... gallant-knight coded

never mind that the moment they do the do she basically does everything until he decides to try the oral which I mean... isn't exactly alphadominatingmale out of jon which is not a given with the trope he's supposed to represent like he's not smooth he's not suave he's like WHAT THE FUCK when ygritte tells him he has a pretty face bc most likely no one else told him that and he like... doesn't pursue people like that in general which is also not exactly 100% what that trope usually goes for

we can add that he has a lot of passive-aggressive little shit sarcasm in him that they didn't let him go for in the show but like... usually chosen heroes™ don't think what he thinks about selyse in general

we can also add that he's not automatically above being better than his position like... he doesn't take winterfell bc ygritte is dead but he did think he'd have taken the deal sansa or not if stannis had said he could marry her and not val and if she wasn't dead, he basically went off the rails at the dude he was fighting with thinking about robb telling him that he couldn't be lord of wf because he was a bastard and he's absolutely not in the frame of mind of 'well I was born a bastard who cares it doesn't define me'

he's obsessed to the point of unhealthy with actually being defined by it which is why he was better off with the wildlings aka the only idiots in the realm who don't gaf about that

and that's like... I mean usually if chosen ones™ have parental issues it's like 'you were an orphan and raised by asses who weren't your parents but your parents loved you and you'll find out at some point and you'll be happier for it and make your own family', jon is like... he has the mommy freudian issues of the century bc of how cat treated him, on the other side he's obsessed with living up to ned's/his father's name and he hates that it makes him not-belonging or that he feels like he doesn't even if he does with his siblings, and at the same time when the truth about it comes out he's going to get the cold shower of the century bc like - he's spent all that time thinking BUT DID MY MOTHER WANT ME WHO WAS MY MOTHER and he's going to find out of who it was and how he was born and honestly considering that lyanna most likely did regret running with rhaegar the moment he finds that out and that she died birthing him how is he going to feel? - also he spends his life wanting to live up to his 'father's' name aka ned aka someone known to be honorable to a fault and then it turns out his bio father is... the dude who started that entire rebellion not doing a very honorable thing? - also if jon*erys is a thing idt that he'd take 'I fell in love with my aunt' so nonchalantly as he did in the show tldr: he's never gonna get over his parental issues in a short time and when that particular brick hits him in the face it won't be pretty

like the entire point of jon is that he goes through all the chosenone™ cursus honorum as we'd call it in high school when studying latin but each step that means smth good for the usual chosenone™ to him is something bad, being one is not going to make his life better and throughout the entire thing he does not fit that stereotype when it comes to look, personality, basic traits and familial history and like hell he's going to have the happy ending tied up with the bow - like I think he gets a bittersweet one and eventually goes off with the wildlings bc he belongs there after being jon snow first of his name (bc like hell he's not reclaiming his bastard background at the end of this entire mess I'm eating my hat if he doesn't) after splitting the seven realms and fixing things but that's hardly the neat happy ending the chosenone™ usually gets so that's my two cents

... christ this was long *raises hands*

#jon snow #tagging for the lulz i guess #janie writes meta #ch: jon snow #long post for ts #tldr jon snow is a kurt cobain stan in disguise in westeros and chosenones™ aren't nirvana stan coded #and i'm dying on this hill xD
