No "other" option. You have to pick one. Good luck.

Neil and Susan both get away with too much. Billy is a scapegoat for everything Max was struggling with. Yes, he mistreated his sister. However, at the same time, her parents expected Billy to be responsible for her and he was abused whenever she did not act in the way they wanted her to. So Billy becomes their scapegoat for their utter failure as parents.
They're her parents. Not Billy. It is their responsibility to get her to school safely and make sure she's home late at night. It is their job to create a safe and loving environment for their kids. Billy didn't have that when he was Max's age. Certainly no one was watching over him given his outrage that they expect him to parent her at her age.
It is their fault that they put their unstable son "in charge" of Max. It is their fault that Billy is unstable. It is Neil's fault for abusing Billy for inevitably failing to be a "good" and "responsible" brother to Max, and it is Susan's fault for being a bystander to that abuse pretending it wasn't happening because it would ruin her relationship with Neil.
Billy and Max both deserved better parents.

We always talk about Aziraphale discovering secrets about Crowley's fall in heaven, but have you considered the opposite?
Do you think Aziraphale ever walks through heaven's endless archives, trying to find something, anything to help stop the wheels that have been in motion for millennia? If he does, one day he might find a pile of dusted files, all of them marked with a name that is nothing more than a smudged ink blotch. He knows now that every fallen angel's name is erased like that, their identity wiped away like a fingertip drawn through wet ink; the rough evidence of their existence remains, the shape of a black hole where grace should be.
Aziraphale is alone in the stretching corridors, there is no one else around, and even if another angel were watching by chance, nothing about what he is doing is forbidden.
(He would not care if it was.)
So he opens the file and pulls out its contents, only to find himself surrounded by ink-black darkness. Electricity crackles through him, sharp but oddly familiar, and he lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Seemingly out of nowhere, an angel clad in white with hair like fire appears next to him. Aziraphale does not remember their name, but he would know this face even if it were wiped from his memory; the elegant features are both fragile and powerful, and so, so loved. When one of his hands reaches out on its own accord, the memory flickers as it goes straight through their face, and with a sense of broken, golden loss, he cradles it against his chest.
They are holding a flickering light within their palm, a proto-star, one of the very first designs, and with a soft blow of air from them, it takes flight. Spinning slowly, its light spreads and spreads, taking most of the darkness with it, yet even as the bleached sterility of heaven begins to shimmer through at the edges, the Starmaker's smile is bright enough to drown it out.
"You're beautiful," they whisper, their hair moving like a flame in the wind as the star expands and nears its collapse.
Aziraphale does not notice the tears flowing down his cheeks as he watches until the star goes supernova, until the Starmaker turns and takes in the glittering clouds of spacedust, their smile and eyes wide and alive, until the memory fades slowly like a dream in cruel morning light, and he is left alone with a scratched-out name and a hollow grief in his chest.

Broke: Blue Shift is a better game than Opposing Force because Barney is there!!!
Woke: Blue Shift is a better game than Opposing Force because it's actually fun, the lore is more coherent, the plot is more immersive, and the mechanics don't suck. Also, fuck the US military.

Nadine Ross is often characterized as butch/a stud, especially when compared to Chloe in their relationship… because she’s a black, muscular dark skinned woman. Am I gonna talk about this???
I guess I chose violence today, especially since I rarely text post on here, mostly jokes and ideas when I do, but this is has been on my mind for years tbh. I know people often talk about persons trying to fit queer relationships in a heteronormative lens, making one partner seem more masc and one seem more fem, when that may be the case sometimes, but sometimes partners are also equally fem, equally masc, equally stem etc. Its also the case that black/dark skinned characters are often painted with the masc brush more.
I’m a black dark skinned sapphic. Hi. Maybe I’m projecting? (I mean I project autism onto Nadine too as an autist myself, heyo.) Personally, I don’t see much of a reason in canon to assume Nadine is butch or a stud, she’s not dressed super fem whenever we see her, but we literally only see her when she’s working. It’s in her character to dress practically while Chloe is more chill about that sort of thing. Sure she wears a pantsuit instead of a dress in Italy (uncharted 4) but she was still working and expected worse than Rafe did. Pantsuit is still practical there. She still did her make up and wore cute rings tho. I just don’t see why some people characterize her as allergic to make up, or dresses, or feminine underwear or anything of a similar sort.
Don’t take this as me having an issue with studs or more masc presenting black women, I love them I’m friends with many irl. But as a black woman I can speak to the way black and dark skinned women are often kept from femininity, that femininity is more closely tied to pale skin, “neat” (ie long flowing straight) hair, daintier fames and Eurocentric facial features which Nadine has none of, neither do I. I don’t expect the people who this post will reach to be the ones who still to this day call Nadine trans slurs even because she dares to be muscular (something I have also dealt with irl and showing my face online in the past), but I can’t help but wonder how her race affects this when those people often use racialised language as well.
Think of how women are often slut shamed for what they wear, based on their unchangeable body more than the clothing itself. A thin white woman in a camisole and shorts is comfortable, and a curvy large chested, big booty black woman in the same outfit is a thot. It’s kinda similar in that way, that a small framed white (or lighter skinned, straight haired) woman in a simple shirt and pants is just wearing basic clothes, but a black woman in the same outfit is butch. The way black women who are anything other than HYPER fem with long acrylics, wigs/weaves/braids, complex pretty dresses (which are ALL lovely don’t get it twisted) are immediately coined a masc is just… weird to me. It’s like we have to put more effort into proving we are women and can be feminine too.
If you ask me Chloe and Nadine come across equally stem, I don’t see either of them more or less likely to engage in traditional femininity than the other. Even simple things like the fact that many people write/draw Nadine as taller than Chloe, when being taller is associated with masculinity when Chloe is canonically 5’8 and Nadine is only 5’5. So I begin to wonder why no one portrays Chloe as possibly being more masc in turn. Or even Elena, who we only see look pretty “fem” or whatever, opposed to practical, in her wedding photos.
TLDR: Ask yourself why you might picture Nadine as being more masc than Chloe. Is it just a fun headcanon? Is it seeing yourself in her character? Is there reason you believe that cause of things she actually says and does in Uncharted? Or if it was reversed, that Chloe, or he’ll even a white woman acted the same way as Nadine, dressed the same way as Nadine, would you still assume that she was butch? Or does her hair, build and skin tone add to why she comes across more masculine, because this is a thing many black women, especially sapphics, who don’t present as hyperfem have to deal with irl, myself included. We are often perceived as more masculine, trying/wanting to be men, being called trans slurs or being seen as too masculine in our bodies to be AFAB/being “transvestigated” (which people do do to Nadine), all these things that try to keep us at an arms length from womanhood and femininity. So keep those things in mind when you portray a character (particularly in transformative work, your own OC is a little different).
#why did I choose violence today idk#I don’t like talking about these things especially not on tumblr cause it stresses me out#but like I said it’s been burning in the back of my mind for years#I will say it seems to have mostly chilled out in the fandom so thanks#that might also be because it is dead tho#chloe frazer#nadine ross#uncharted#chlodine#uncharted the lost legacy#chloe x nadine#fandom and race#I guess#hopefully I don’t get eaten alive for this#also no terfism y’all are nazis#Pls don't eat me up for this yall I don't usually open my mouth am scurred

I havent said anything about thrawn yet and thats on purpose. You can expect this out of me for the forseeable future.
#i have a lot of thoughts about him in ahsoka and most of them are negative so#reeeeeeallly just mad at the state of like. animation being not a viable storytelling route in sw these days#animation has been and will always be just as powerful a storytelling tool as live action or any other medium#maybe i will choose violence one day and talk about thrawn on main but today is not that day#i am having a coffee and drawing and eating blueberries and staying in my lane

choosing violence: 8, 9, 10, 19
Oh boy, alright let's see...
I think I'm gonna have to roll 8 & 10 into the same response MOSTLY because I don't really know what to put on 8 exactly but I also feel like 10 kinda applies to it?
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about/10. worst part of fanon
BUT YEAH, it's the fandom's insistence that Sol is miserable/bored/apathetic and desperate to get out of the time loop (or whatever you call this not-loop arrangement). I swear, if I see another fic that has Sol feeling like shit because of the time loop thing I'm going to... not really do anything. Except maybe scream really loudly internally.
It's not like they're re-watching the same movie a thousand times and we only really see a small sample of the infinite possibilities they have on hand, but people are so fond of the despair over time loop thing and I kinda hate it.
9. worst part of canon
That we don't get a "I was a 20-something exocolonist" Continuation? No? That's cheating? Okay, let's see...
This is actually a tough one 'cause I've got several small annoyances but I think the big one is that no matter what you do, nobody will believe Sol about the visions or aliens (Like FFS even Dys can be the person who triggers Sol getting sent to be lobotomized). And special shoutout to that one event on the ridge where Utopia is more willing to believe that Dys has a secret older brother (SHE SPENT 20 YEARS ON THAT SAME SHIP! D8<) than that Sol is telling the truth about Sym being an alien. And then when you talk to the council at the end they go "Yeah no, lol we knew there was an alien presence out there". I get that Sol probably does a lot of faulty predictions too, but I just wish there was a golden route where people started trusting them if you somehow managed to mysteriously be in the right place at the right time to keep saving people's lives. Or something.
19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...
Vace would be the easy answer here but I'm actually not picking him for this. No, I'm gonna pick the other guy who I don't exactly like as as much as I kind of appreciate in terms of writing and find fascinating.
It's Lum.
It took me many months to actually start thinking about this guy more than writing him off as comically inept space dictator-wannabe. But when you take a step back he's actually kind of interesting. I think I'll put why under a readmore tho, 'cause while my earlier responses has some spoilers this goes into more important events.
Basically, I think Lum is interesting because he looks so dumb and inept and comically evil at first glance. But once you learn about the earth fleet, things start to look a bit differently.
Him being so rough with Utopia isn't just him being over the top evil for the sake of it. He's on a major time limit to get this planet into what the earth fleet considers shape, (with the "or else" option being them glassing the place) and Utopia confronts him in front of the entire colony, questioning his leadership and putting him on the spot. So he thinks and acts fast and brutally to force things back under his control 'cause he really can't risk losing that.
And when you think about it, a lot of his decisions are in the same line. Poorly thought out ways to handle the immense pressure he's under. He's not well suited for this, was probably never taught to handle these kind of decisions. The Helios supposedly got there in about 15 years and Lum is listed at 25 at the start of the game (30 on arrival), so he got onboard of that military ship when he was 15, grew up with a very limited worldview and was suddenly put in command of the entire operation. (he was like, second in command of communications before?) With the earth fleet threat breathing down his neck.
This isn't me excusing his behavior by the way. He did things that range from extremely shitty to horrifying. But part of me can't stop thinking about how much more chill he seems if he gets kicked from the leadership role, and that one Glow attack where he recklessly used himself as bait to lure the two faceless.
Basically, if Vace is the guy I want to put in a hamster ball and kick down the stairs. Lum is the guy I'd like to put by a pool and give a gym membership to in the peace ending, and then come back ten years later to see if he's turned into the himbo I suspect he could potentially be.

Vikings ask who was hvitserk favourite brother
Ubbe.
Hvitserk says it himself more than once in canon, for starters, and I don't think he was lying about Ubbe being the brother he loves the most. It's merely a fact of life for him, like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. Ubbe has been in his life forever, and for a long time it was just them banding together and forming a bond that could never break. They share everything together from childhood onward into adulthood, be it a bed or a wife, and Sigurd and Ivar are never involved in their expressions of closeness and affection toward one another.
And that bond between Ubbe and Hvitserk hasn't broken, though it has frayed and worn with the decisions they both made. They cannot ever harm the other physically, and it grieves them both when the harm Ivar caused them lies as a festering wound over the remains of their bond. The love they have for each other is unconditional, which is why there's so much heartbreak involved in their story. They can't be free of that love no matter how hard they might try to diminish it just to stop feeling its effects and its pull.
I've always said the later seasons of Vikings only truly make sense when one sees them as a love story and a break-up between these two. Their relationship is the heart of it from the moment we time-jump in mid-s4 to the very end. Their choices, especially Hvitserk's, drive all other things in those later seasons.
I've seen a lot of people here say Ivar was Hvitserk's favorite brother, which I think is wishful thinking at best and straight-up ignorance of canon at worst. Hvitserk, for certain, was Ivar's favorite, and Hvitserk cared for him more than Ivar good and well deserved. Hvitserk loved him, even, sure, though Ivar terms-and-conditioned it beyond all reason and caused him such hurt. But when it comes to Hvitserk's favorite? It's always going to be Ubbe, and that fact was something Ivar couldn't stand and tried/failed to unmake.
#vikings#ubbe x hvitserk#tagging it as such because duh#Bjorn and Sigurd don't factor into this particular narrative as much so I did not include them#am I choosing violence in this fandom today? you tell me

23, 24, and 25 for the ask meme!
23. ship you've unwillingly come around to
sorry for the cop out but i honestly can't think of any dc ship that this really applies to! i tend to like ships fairly quickly or not at all lmao. seriously i am trying really hard to think of one and i can't 😭
24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse
i thought way too long and hard about this before deciding this question doesn't actually need that much deep consideration so i'll just say the discourse that has been annoying me a lot recently lmao. the 'fanon is better than canon' thing. i love re-interpreting characters and stories in certain ways too, and of course various canons have many, many problems, but. it's a crime that i see opinions about my favourite characters based on watered-down tropes and stereotypes made by people who haven't read a single comic featuring them being treated with the same weight as genuine analysis and re-interpretations that engage with the source material. sorry lmao
25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing
'clark is a bad father [to kon]' clark isn't a father to kon at all stop narrowing character relationships down to tropey nuclear families and start thinking about their dynamics with some genuine consideration. and why are people so intent on vapidly villainising clark for literally no reason. why don't you fight me in the woolworths parking lot. i'll bring my 1400 page death of superman omnibus
