"Roy wouldn't like Jason! They have completely opposing ideologies! It's out of character for Roy!"
Jason was a general menace that kidnapped Mia for one conversation in a pathetic attempt to convince her to abandon Ollie and partner with him instead. He kills criminals, but only criminals. His mindset as Red Hood is "I'm protecting civilians by killing criminals"
Jade is a mercenary, an assassin, someone who kills people for money regardless of whether or not they're a criminal and has no problem killing people without monetary incentive. Roy fell in love with her. The government told him to bring her in, since she's a mercenary, and he fell in love with her and didn't bring her in, indirectly allowing her to continue to kill people.
Out of character my ass.
#Jason Todd#Red Hood#Arsenal#Roy Harper#anti-Jason fans acting like Roy has the moral rigidness of Batman#he knows what nuance is#his baby mama is a literal assassin#who I'm pretty sure has tried to kill members of the Titans at least once#Jason was a needy bitch who craved acknowledgement from Bruce and Dick#Yet that's where Roy would draw the line????

[Tuvok & Janeway: Control, Distance, Duty & Connection.]
Sources: St Voyager Transcripts / Mitski 'First Love Late Spring' / Disco Elysium
#web weaving#star trek web weaving#st voyager#Kathryn Janeway#Tuvok#be the change you want to see in the world - make a long post about Tuvok & Janeway's similarities <- angel on my shoulder#I feel like a lot of people see them as 'opposites attract' sort of friends where Janeway is unhinged & Tuvok reigns her in#but in reality I think that while there is that element in there (exacerbated HEAVILY by their delta quad circumstances)#what I see most in their relationship is how they both value loyalty and duty above all and are extremely rigid with themselves#and the people around them. How they both have to maintain distance from others bc of their positions as captain & vulcan#I hate when people dismiss Tuvok as not being remotely interested in Maryana or Noss - it erases an interesting struggle that he and Janewa#both share - their desire to stay loyal to their spouses vs the 70 years of loneliness that that loyalty demands of them#But they BOTH triumph and they BOTH remain loyal (Tuvok until he returns to T'Pel and Janeway until Mark informs her that it's over)#and for both of them it's a little bit insane for them to do that.#Isn't it more interesting that Janeway and Tuvok both have feelings for people other than their spouses but don't give in#to that temptation?#They're both people who live very fastidiously by codes. Either written codes or moral codes - they very rarely if ever do things because#it's what THEY want to do. I'd say they're the least emotion-driven members of the crew and yes I'm including Seven because Seven#has a very...how to describe? It's a blunt and insular selfishness. She does what SHE wants to do and doesn't really care about others.#To me that's emotion-driven. Or...personal desire-driven? Not a bad thing at all but very different from Janeway & Tuvok who#are always more 'this is logical' or 'this is for the crew' rarely do they think 'this is what I want' bc they can't afford to#for different reasons (captain & vulcan)#they both also are in the most 'caretaking' positions on the ship from my POV. Security and Captain - both are directly in charge of#ship and crew safety.#Janeway & Tuvok#star trek voyager#st voy#when I say caretaking I'm NOT saying they're everyone's mom and dad or whatever - I'm saying they're in positions where they always#have to think about the greater good and the crew as a whole and how much danger is acceptable etc etc.#Janeway is always killing herself for the crew but Tuvok is right there beside her

This started as just a redraw of an old Chiluc comic except I got carried away so. here ya go!
#chiluc is so so so complicated to me#diluc hates the fatui and everything they do and stand for but when met with someone who does everything for those he cares about hed cave#and childe knows what hes doing is fucked up but doesnt care enough to change paths and he doesnt get how diluc can look past that#bc diluc is angry and justifyably vengeful yet he treats childe like hes normal#despite bring well aware of what childe does and his stance on it#and it confuses him so much it makes him uncomfortable#bc diluc has rigid morals that he wont budge on yet can still look childe in the eyes without wanting to kill him#its a big ol 'wtf why do u like me stop that. thats weird. im weird and bad and fucked up u cant like that.'#and 'why do i like this guy hes everything ive dedicated myself to eradicating yet i cant bring myself to do so without express reasoning'#its a MESS#childe#tartaglia#ajax#diluc ragnvindr#chiluc#genshin impact#art#my art#xanders art#digital art#fan art

cameron and wilson are actually the best underrated duo on house md like i eat up every single one of their limited interactions...also obsessed with how house is constantly calling out their shared compulsion for falling in love with needy people- often in a semi-conscious effort to push them away from him (the neediest person of all) or downplay their love for him. but while house is correct about this compulsion of theirs being a legitimate trend in their love lives, he's not correct about it being the reason why they love him. it is, however, the reason why they stay with him
#at least (for cameron) until she realizes that he refuses to change and her flight response kicks in <3#rip if only she was able to get over herself and take the wilson idgf route#i don't even think i really buy the rigid morals argument bc her morals are just as contradictory as everyone else on the show#it's just sloppy writing sigh#house md

Unpopular opinion but I don't think Finarfin should have any guilt about turning back, even regarding his children. He can feel sad and angry and bitter, but I think it's more interesting and in character for him to not feel regret or guilt over it. I mean, the man has a spine of mithril and a fair amount of pride. Makes for some delicious conflict and angst. Plus I don't like the implication that he or the other Amanyar were wrong or cowardly.
Come to think of it, there is a general theme in fics of the Exiles changing too much and the Amanyar not changing at all which makes no sense. The Darkening happened to the Amanyar too; they were the ones who actually faced the long term consequences. Of course they changed. Even the Shire wasn't the same when Frodo returned.
#listen if my adult children decided to steal the ships of their murdered family i would disown them in a millisecond#fuck them kids#on an unrelated note#i have been told that my rigid morals and judgement have rendered me incapable of empathy and compassion#no wonder i love nie mingjue so much#finarfin

a recurring thing i love seeing in motorcity is
chuck and the burners but especially chuck: mike omfg pls. with the hero complex. cmon mike. mike. mike pls stop fighting our battles pleeeaaaase! jfc mike why are you so nonchalant with danger?!??! MIKE GOD pleeasee stop throwing yourself into the most perilous situations ev-- MIKE. MIKE are you smiling and having fun while dodging robot lasers??!? MIKE PLEASE TAKE THIS MORE SERIOUSLY
and then the villains are like: miiikey my boy..... STOP being so uptight! GODDD youre so damn annoyingly rigid you little boy scout! relaaaax. you just need to go with the floowww~~ trust me, if only you knew how to ~let loose~ for once in your life things would turn out sooo much better for you! 😎
#mine#motorcity#i just think the interpretations that villains have of mike is so hilariously incorrect but actually#i thought about it and was like... are they tho?#from their pov mike is an unrelenting little gnat that gets in their way a lot#and his rigid morals and ideals are the root cause of that#but then the burners see a completely different side to him and i think thats sweet#and also funny af#mike is like a pitbull#to strangers hes a big scary dog#to his family hes like a silly caring pubby who likes to sacrifice himself a lil too often#also yes i wrote the villain pov with dukes voice in mind#but kane has literally told mike to “relax” and go with flow too so i mean

today I am also thinkin' about how funny it would be if the show never actually shows the scene between Guillermo and Derek in its entirety and instead Guillermo just comes back at the beginning of s5 all vampiric and the whole season is the other vampires having to get used to it
and then we finally see the scene between Derek and Guillermo and it turns out that Derek did refuse to do it, or it didn't work, or some other mishap happened and Guillermo has literally just been faking it this entire time.
like! we know that Nandor never noticed that Celeste wasn't a real vampire! I bet Guillermo could fool him, especially if he's upset enough.
#wwdits#I'm still team derek will finally display his backbone and say no#they spent a fair amount of time establishing that derek has a weird but rigid sense of morality#plus knowing that they already have s6 line up it just feels too early to actually turn him#I think they need that human foil there#like Nandor said if they're all vampires it doesn't really feel special anymore#but I guess we'll see

It's really cute that they've been making Fang a secret romantic. He's an emotional guy!
He's lighthearted naturally, has shown to get angry in his voicelines, and there's a passion in him that he wants something bigger than a dead end job.
(Cough cough.)
I say secret romantic by the way, because he's always covering up proof of it! He puts so much of himself into any kind of bond, but romantic ones take the cake.
Secret picture of Shelly ❣
Whoever he broke up with, he carries a picture of them around. He laments.
HIS BIGGEST SECRET IS WATCHING ROMANTIC MOVIES. PLEASSEEE
He keeps his favorite romantic films locked away.
It was totally his idea (out of the two) to ask Shelly out to the Tunnel of Love. Too bad Willow's a hater, lol.
#brawl stars#brawlstars#Fang#Fang/Shelly#Kickshots#<- my ship name for them#that cough cough is my way of saying he and Buster are still in Lola's Trio#I like Maisie and I love Gray but i don't like canon one bit.#anyway I will defend and create content for Shelly/Fang#they're a battle couple#they're both passionate#Shelly is grumpier and Fang is kinder.#though he is more open minded to new things and potenial moral principles#unlike Colt who's more rigid in being a good guy.#wahhh I love being a multishippeerrr#so many differing couples 🥰

listen I know conventional wisdom is that it’s better to bend than to break but I’ve really got so many feelings about characters that refuse to bend or compromise on their morals and principles, to the point that they’d RATHER break (and maybe they do!!), especially when juxtaposed next to a character who will bend and bend and bend forever, never technically breaking, but twisted into something so different that they’re unrecognizable
#MAYBE ITS JUST ME#but I’ve met people who bend forever and it can be JUST as dangerous as staying rigid and refusing to compromise#anyway I love a person with STRONG moral convictions sometimes. I think they are just as if not more interesting than eternally compromising

It still fascinates me that at the end of FMA Ling Yao just.... walks off with a philosopher's stone.
It's in-character for him, certainly. His willingness to be cutthroat, including cutting his own, is what makes him one of the more interesting characters to me. But the plot turns on the philospher's stone and dismantling its bloody hold on the country. The 'good' characters who use one typically agonize over it or provide justifications beforehand. Ed just finished having a crying breakdown about refusing to do so. And Ling's like 'k bye!' and everyone goes 'great! nice knowing you!'. It doesn't even trigger an infamous Edward Morality Monologue. And while the people within the other stones have been major plot points, we have no idea who's in this one.
Ling wants to rule an empire, and empires are built on people's lives. If FMA is a 'are we the baddies' story, some people look at the system they're in and go, ok, fine, I can work with that. It's true, it's interesting, but I'm not sure the narrative means for it to be taken that way?
Like, is this an uncomplicated happy ending being handed out because it's the finale? Is it choosing to use unethically obtained power in the hopes of making improvements within a wretched system? Is it a Bad End? I don't require stories to provide me with pre-packaged moral judgments and the lack of one here is why I like turning it over in my brain, but it's also weird to me because the story takes such a strong stance on this issue everywhere else! Ling Yao's personal brand of morality is so powerful it warps the entire narrative around it apparently.
#what a fun kid. would hate to get in his way#kat reads fma#was going to make a joke like#ed's very personal motivation but rigid bleeding heart morality#vs. ling's community oriented motivation and ends justify the means approach: fight#but the point of this post is that they don't#then again Ed holds Scar to a different standard than Roy and Riza#so maybe this is entirely in character wrt him giving more moral wiggle room to people he likes#alternatively he was distracted on the roof but will send an angry voicemail later

It’s important to understand that, at the heart of the matter, pro-ship equals anti-harassment.
Yes, pro-ship can mean different things to different people. No label is a monolith. Some pro-shippers have underage/incest/Dead Dove/etc ships and some have zero. Being pro-ship doesn’t automatically equate to being okay with that kind of content, but sure, some are. What’s important is: “I’m pro-ship” doesn’t directly translate to, “I have controversial ships,” but rather, “I don’t believe it’s okay to ostracize people over fiction.”
At the end of the day, it’s about recognizing the line between content that is measurably harming real human beings and content that simply makes you uncomfortable. Do you believe it’s immoral to attack and harass another person over a disagreement about fiction? Do you believe the appropriate action is to block and move on, rather than publicly shaming and/or privately berating whoever posted it? Do you believe it’s possible for someone to use “dark” content as a means of emotionally processing trauma? Then I consider you pro-ship.
#saw another anti ranting about this issue and yknow what? hate that noise#like I’m generally squicked out completely by certain content#but at the same time I’ll gladly defend someone’s right to enjoy it in their own space on the internet and not receive hate mail over it#fiction is fiction! there’s a gap between what we accept in real life and enjoy in concept!#example: most people who love fictional murderers wouldn’t defend a real-life serial killer#which again—MOST. there are exceptions but that’s another matter#so why are ships held to a much more rigid standard of what a person is allowed to enjoy and share?#enjoyment of fiction ≠ moral beliefs about reality#take Wincest as example. personally I HATE IT. i find it disgusting and disturbing. i block wincest shippers because of that. but!#if I see someone being literally cyberbullied over it I’m going to step in and say ‘hey not cool’#does that make me okay with Wincest? absolutely not. but I am NOT okay with potentially damaging a human being’s mental health over it#pro ship#on fandom#logan.txt#on politics

Whatever ship you had at age 13 + “It wasn’t my language, but I understood enough.”
"And do not gamble," Stannis ordered.
"I do not," Davos said. And then, conscientiously, "Not in company, since I joined your service, my lord; though at home we are rather freer with games of sticks and small coins. I would rather my sons knew the way of dicing from me, so they should not learn it at the edge of a charlatan's dirk."
Stannis frowned, passing judgement. Davos would have to tell this to Marya: she found it very amusing how Stannis liked to dispense high notions of conduct, for all she had still not quite forgiven him for Davos' lovely strong fingers.
"I suppose that is better, if they are like to be near such vices," he conceded, a little grudgingly. "Well I wish I could say they shall be pages and squires, perhaps, and have no need for a clear head; but pages are as terrible as any mason's son for gaming, and often more reckless, for having more money to spend. See that they are sensible lads, Davos, and they shall do you credit, if only be comparison."
Faint praise that was, but Davos knew what he meant by it. Three years with three long seasons in the Red Keep, managing his lord's household; he was starting to understand.
It had been foolishness to think poverty was enough to guess at the indifference of the highborn.
None of them cared for justice - not as Stannis did. They cared less, even, for their smallfolk; and paid no mind to the small ruffians in the port, the small hungry ship-boys very like the one Davos had been.
"Trust no one to be capable or interested in being capable to do their work, be sure they shall be greedy, and keep away from any excess."
His tone made it clear he did not grasp why this simple matter should prove so impossible a standard to his peers, and thought very little of them for it.
Davos hid a smile in the corner of his beard. His new lord was quick to sense any slight, and imagine many others; he did not trust mirth, when mirth came to stand by his side to keep him company during long balls.
Or at least to leave the festivities with him, when the feasting went on too long. The endless courses of sweetcakes and merenges decorated with the sweetest fruits from the Seven Kingdoms and Essos had soured Davos' own appetite.
He had eaten at similar tables, in the cabins of pirates, the worst thieves of the sea. This was no different. He had no tooth sweet enough for it now; his head ached behind his eyes when he ate too much indulgence, his body little used to it.
They left the stifling heat of the great hall to walk the battlements when the last round cheese wheels and small, rich wines and liquors were still being served.
Which was just as well: Davos had an urge, very unworthy, of squirreling away a slice or three, or a small jar of jam. He had to remind himself his sons ate well, now; that Marya grew rounder and redder and full of laughter, and not only ruled well their pantry, but shared their plenty with neighbors and dependents.
Quietly, in the privacy of his heart, Davos was quite determined that he should expect trust, and no derision, from one person at least.
A lofty goal, but as he was come to an unexpected windrush of good fortune, he thought he might have some luck in this endeavour, too.
Davos and his lord spoke long of honor and justice, these being the things dearest to Stannis' heart; moreover, Davos found it a matter of much interest.
His rise to knighthood, never expected, could not have been a stranger course for a smuggler. In those first years at Dragonstone, he went through his new duties and new life feeling keenly as a cabin-boy boy on his first voyage again - finding his feet when the swells of court life rose, keeping his head down and doing his best with the tasks given to him.
Always with a wary ear out, always certain of his disposability, his smallness to the engines of politics.
It rankled, more than he thought it would; for in his way he had been a man of some importance, ruler of his own crew, and well-respected, ship won with effort and cunning, while knights donned armour costing a spring's worth of ten families' work in the fields.
At least he had a new, good and stalwart captain to lead him through troubled waters. Davos grew ever more grateful for it, the more he came to know of the foibles of the kingdom's nobles.
"Honorable conduct is very simple, smuggler," Stannis told him. He turned his half-empty glass of lemon water between his palms - his wrists, narrow still, caught the silver light, too stark under his skin to be comfortable to look at long.
Davos did like to look at him, though. A fine sort of discomfort; he knew how to keep his feet and his head. So perhaps he was a gambling man still, in his way; though as honest a one as he could make himself become.
"And as you already do keep it, learning the ways of court shall be easier," Stannis added, in that stilted, stiff way, that was not a compliment in him but might have been in another man.
"I shall do my best, lord," Davos agreed. "If only by comparison."
Davos thought of him in the light of that moon, often, in years to follow, though he did not always know this was what he was thinking of in particular. The long cheeks framed by long lines, the dark curls starting to thin already - the young man with his unhappy mouth twitching, for a moment.
-
Thank you so much @displayheartcode! Now this was fun a trip down memory lane <3

I don’t want Astarion to learn morals because I have a very vivid image of Emrys reaching a moment where she really wants to do something that would break her oath and Astarion does it for her with no hesitation whatsoever and in fact some glee
#playing bg3#inspired partly by the amount of times I have to switch to another character so I dodge Emrys being in charge of a conversation where she#would absolutely slam the oath of devotion option#Anyways. Doing horrible things effortlessly and with no qualms that your rigid nun gf can’t do but really wants to#there’s something ugly in you that is also in me etc etc#I also don’t want him to learn morals because I don’t think he will. I think it’ll be funnier if he exports his moral code to Emrys#doing the right thing not because I want to but because my girlfriend said I had to. Whatever!#oc. emrys#🐌.txt#the dark of you

Honestly the thing that annoyed me most about the Barbie movie is that the little girl’s opinions were so second-wave feminist. It’s not even a matter of agreeing or disagreeing—I just don’t think that’s the type of feminism that politically aware little girls espouse these days. She sounds like a mom circa 2000 (any mom from a conservative center-right Republican still practical enough to want her daughter to be successful academically and professionally to a feminist Marxist hippie—in my experience, if your mom wasn’t an actual pageant mom back then, she felt kind of weird about Barbie). These days basic tenets of feminism like “it is to your benefit to have your own money” seem to be a hard sell to young women. What chance does anti-Barbie sentiment have?
#like I do think that people go way too hard denying that Barbie has any negative influence#I also think Barbie’s a convenient scapegoat for well-meaning adults#who maybe aren’t willing or able to address more fraught aspects of sexism/racism/rigid beauty standards as experienced by children#it’s easier to swap out one doll for another#than to get kids (boys and girls) to stop bullying each other#or to figure out how to talk about weight and health without fucking kids up#like idk why was being fat treated as (a) evidence of moral turpitude#or (b) evidence of some terrible trauma like seeing your dad get killed in a tractor accident#in practically every middle-grade and YA book#because adults thought that was a good wholesome message is why!#I even like a lot of these books but jeez
