#as a group that 'manipulated' them
Text
I love how when the Sinners are asking Nelly why she betrayed them/Heathcliff and Cathy, she responds with "Imagine finding out your entire life is cosmically destined to be spent being the third party to those two's relationship drama" and literally everyone, including Heathcliff, just go "ok yeah, that's fair."
#limbus company#Canto VI spoilers#Nelly LCB#granted it was really more because they can tell she got manipulated by hermann on some level too#but I think even the most amoral of the group wouldn't want to have to go through dealing with Hearthcliff and Cathy's relationship#I'd probably betray them too tbh

WoF fans are always the biggest WoF haters
#minus me im an exception#bht tui could have written arc 3 better#or gotten rid of it#or introduced it better#she could make a winglet on Chameleon#and she could have actually made winter's character development in book 7 mean something#why is winter treated like the only thing he does is be angry#like his whole frieng group keeps a secret from him. THE SECRET BEING DARKSTALKER WHO MANIPULATED HIM INTO WORSHIPPING HIMSELF(DARKSTALKER)#WAS TURNED INTO A BABY AND CAN DO NOTHING NOW. because they thought winter wouod be mad.#THE ONKY THING HE GONNA BE MAD FOR IS THAT YOU KEPT THE SECRET SO LONG#also moonbli was rushed and they should tui should have written more moonbli moments if she wanted them to be canon#anyways im done talking in tags#wings of fire#wof#wof winter#wof chameleon#wof darkstalker#wof arc 3

It shouldn't need to be said but I'm seeing a lot of vitriol towards Ashton about their actions and I have to say I don't agree with them.
At the clock tower Fearne brought up the shard, stated that in her opinion Ashton should take the shard because she didn't want it. Ashton decided then as a result they'd take it, but because it was an extreme risk made very aware to them all they knew the other Hells wouldn't allow them to go through with it. Ashton asked Fearne if she was okay with both of them going together alone with the plan, reiterating that they didn't want to put this on Fearne, that if they died Fearne would not be to blame, and that they have no intention of dying, and Fearne said yes.
Fearne having second thoughts at the Ziggurat was just worry, because she cares deeply for Ashton, Ashton kissing her was not manipulation either; it was letting go of fear, having no regret with the person they also care deeply for and taking the risk. And yeah, it was frightening, 10 rounds of perpetual fiery near-death situations and one actual death situation; Laura is fuming, Ashley cannot look, Liam is playing Mad World on loop in his mind, even Matt is completely on edge, but they survived. Accusations that Ashton manipulated Fearne to selfishly take the shard seem to misinterpret the shard saga as well as Fearne and Ashton's characters, they will get a very intense amount of chastising for sure, but it will be out of love, out of the fear that they were going to lose them, not because they thought Ash was manipulative.
#critical role#bells hells#ashton greymoore#taliesin jaffe#fearne calloway#ashley johnson#laura bailey#matt mercer#Ashton literally is comprised of things that shouldn't exist of course they're gonna not heed warnings when Fearne didn't want it#the group are stressed but I don't believe there's heat#if I recall 4sd is aired after an unaired episode so Tal Travis Matt and Ashley were happily vibing from that despite having already played#Tal and Ashley agreed on this gambit they just underestimated how bad it'd go#and I would wager that Tal knew he could lean on the ring to save Ashton at least once#overall no I don't think Ashton intended to manipulate or hurt anyone and in trying to shoulder it alone they were trying to be selfless#but reminder Ashton is 6 charisma they aren't gonna express their intentions too well#the Hells are rightfully so mad for making them worry but in the end they're just gonna be grateful Ashton's alive#also I have to make a point that Fearne said 'I shouldn't have listened to you' not 'I shouldn't have trusted you' there's a big difference#and Tal hasn't tried to wriggle or bargain out of it he's had Ashton accept all frustration because they know it's from a loving place#critical role spoilers#sorry for multiple edits I keep seeing me unconsciously use he/him and I have to fix it plus I have more to say but nobody to say it to

Tress scratched the best itch for me, I’ve been craving a good fairy tale and it was just perfect. I kept slipping so hard into the fairy tale aspects that I kept getting caught by surprise whenever a cosmere thing stopped beating around the bush and revealed itself, actually. While I’m sure that wasn’t fully the intention, it was a really fun way to read some brandermansanderman coming fresh off of sunlit man and how intensely locked in I was with the Connections. Genuinely Tress is such a fun little romp. I love girls who sail in fucked up seas and this is a genre I want more of please thank you.
#it was so much fun I did have my suspicions about a few things because of fairy tale tropes but I didn’t get all of them!#I was taken by surprise by many things!#not...not the glowing woman being elantrian I did get that one especially with the floor map#I wonder if that changes actually#like does her cockship make aon-Connecting maps of the places she goes to so she can fuck around with locals?#what’s with space travel resulting in callus dicks manipulating the local planetary populations?#is this related to one of the many groups fucking about with the cosmere or is it just the nature of the people funding these excursions?#will zellion ever have sex?#all these questions and more to be added next year in bransandermanderson strikes again part five of ten alphabet assemble#I want to see the other seas now though ): the worlds are so cool that I’m never quite ready to say goodbye#I want to linger between the pages and sift the words between my fingers like sun-warmed sand#it feels too soon to say goodbye#cosmere#tress of the emerald sea#tress of the emerald sea spoilers

the obvious double standard with which we as a society treat amab nonbinary people and trans women who don't fit the level of feminity that they're expected to is actually disgusting.
#I see it every day in the way my gm (and closest friend at work) is constantly misgendered without anyone apologizing#but everyone uses the correct pronouns for me and quickly corrects themselves if they mess up.#I see it in the way my nonbinary dad#couldn't be friends with women in our old homeschool group#without rumors being constantly spread that they were just trying to get in the women's pants.#I see it in the way my mom was disgusted and disturbed by discovering my dad's early forays into crossdressing#but is proud of me for being my authentic self.#I see it in the way my dad is still scared to wear a skirt despite frequently expressing a desire to#for fear of being seen as “an ugly man in a dress".#I see it in the way my theatre director is constantly called they or he despite clearly having she/her pronouns on her email.#I see it in the way my mom refuses to use the correct pronouns for my dad even though they are out to her#and constantly “forgets” my gm's pronouns even though I've used they/them for them for months.#deep down I know if I was born with a penis my mom would think of my transness much differently.#when “women” embrace masculinity they are seen as empowered at best and at worst as victims of the patriarchy.#confused little girls who don't know any better.#when “men” embrace feminity they are seen as predators. traps. manipulative freaks.#I see it every day. It's so deeply ingrained in our society it seems like there's no escaping it.

Tbh, nothing has made me sympathize more with Kipperlilly Copperkettle than her anger issues.
Cause anger is an emotion we feel when we're missing something. When we need something and can't get it. It's a balm to make us feel better when things don't go our way.
When things aren't fair.
#d20#dimension 20#d20 fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#d20 spoilers#fhjy#fantasy high spoilers#of course just cause you feel like things are unfair doesnt mean they actually are#and the reason why its an anger issue is cause the anger has befome detrimental#its warped from being somethjng to comfort you when you feel powerless to a tool you use against others when you fedl slighted#part of why anger issues are so hard to overcome is cause of how good it feels in the moment#even if you feel terrible guilt afterwards#the catharsis of releasing anger can be such a relief#that you dont even realise youve started looking for reasons to be angry#youre listing things that are terrible with the world just so you can feel better by getting angry at them#things like capitalism and people who bullied you and how your boss is a terrible racist#things that everyone can get angry over#until they get more personal and warps your judgment#“my boss called a group of immigrant a bunch of racial slurs” “his secretary was there too she can back me up”#“when i brought it up with her she says she wasnt payjng attention or something” “shes peobably racist too and thats why he hired her”#it becomes easier to make jumps like that instead of giving people the benefit of the doubt#easier to justify your anger with the smallest slights#until youre yelling at a pedestrian whe. you almost ran them over#“sure it was a red light but they shouldve paid attention and seen me coming too”#anyways this is all to say kipperlilly probably has some issues to deal with#idk if shes actually behind this plot or if shes being manipulated#doesmt stop her from being a total dick tho#but it does make me a little more sympathetic to her

while everyone has the right to raise their child with the ethics they so desire, i do think it’s hilarious when xtians INSIST they aren’t indoctrinating or brainwashing their kids but also refuse to put them in public school (or even private xtian school), only socialize them within xtian circles like youth group or their church’s homeschool co-op, and rigorously vet any secular media so their kids doesn’t “reject the faith.” like uh. if your faith is so weak you have to hide your kids away from anybody on the outside so they never even think to question it…….. it doesn’t exactly sound legit
#text#like god forbid i ever have kids but if i did and they wanted to go to church i’d probably let them#if for no other reason just to show them how boring it is 9/10 lol#like if their friend invited them to youth group i’d be like ‘listen dude if you want to go you can#but it’s mostly just gonna be some out of touch conservative trying to guilt you for being a human being’#‘like you might get to play a game or have snacks. maybe. depending in how cool the youth pastor is.’#and if they did go we’d just have a conversation later about what they learned and we could discuss it critically#i would never intentionally isolate my child (especially older kids and teenagers) from opposing viewpoints#i would just hope i taught them enough critical thinking to not fall for emotional manipulation#ex christian#religious trauma

Another Grant headcanon:
I think he wrote love notes when in relationships, and he went all out with like making the paper scented and stuff. But like he had no good perfume so he ended up using his horrible body spray. So like the lucky boyfriend would like find a paper reeking of the body spray like every once in a while.
Also I think he was someone who fell deep into romance because having a crush and feeling butterflies in his stomach was better than numbness. So he would pursue every crush even if he knew it would not end well because of the thrill of it. I think this sucked but I think he atleast felt like this is a normal way for life to suck.
#honestly I was thinking he continued the note thing with marco in college maybe?#and now marco likes the smell of the body spray even if grant found better perfumes cuz nostalgia#i think i am in my own la dee da world after this episode#where I think if willy takes a break from torturing the parents they should form a circle and become bffs#they should form a circle#toast to rebecca#and then just talk shit idk#i think they would be very funny as a group after they are done grieving#like cassandra would be like how could I have dated such a loser#he literally kidnapped like four of my exs ex friends and put collars on them when we were dating#and they would be like no its not your fault he is that manipulative#and then one of them would talk about their ex to comfort her#and then somwhow it would come out that willy is like the age of their grandparents#and cassandra would be like why did this senior citizen get me so bad#he told me to make him a sandwich and I#a multimillionaire made him a sndwich#this will probably never happen in canon#dndads#grant wilson#dungeons and daddies#the tags are their own seperate post at this point#dndads s2#looking back on this(tags)#all the spouses knew willy as a nice guy who saved them#rebecca was the only one who suspected him so thats why he killed her#they must be feeling so duped getting tortured except for marco who saw him kill a man#cassandra has been feeling duped since heaven#this is killing me all of them are having conversations in my head now the comedy and the pain is killing me mostly the comedy#marco li wilson#grant li wilson

What’s really frustrating is seeing people say “Tommy should’ve known”/“How did Tommy NOT know about his behavior” and it’s just not something you say? Ever? It’s like asking Shelby how she didn’t see the warning signs. When you’re deep in it— when you’re THAT close to someone— you’re going to not see the red flags that someone on the outside might be able to see. Tommy’s an immature guy and he fucked over Dream, yes. However he’s probably reeling over the realization his “big brother” abused someone.
god, for sure. ive also seen people talk about how "if you saw him manipulating you and your friends why didn't you SAY ANYTHING!!!" and it's just ... i'm sorry uh. do you guys not. understand. like there's a power dynamic? there's a power dynamic here people. that's ,,, part of how manipulation in this manner works. like, i know people are saying this because they don't like the person in question, and while i'm not exactly their biggest fan either, being a shitty person doesn't prevent you from being a victim, and vice versa. like, just because you might not like this person or think that they're a shitty person bc of various reasons doesn't make victim blaming suddenly okay, you know.
#the askers#abuse#like ... with to mmy specifically people have literally in this scenario been spreading clips of wi.lb ur being physically aggressive#towards him. like. obviously it's a difficult scenario no matter how you cut it when someone you're obviously close to#ends up being a shitty person that hurt a lot of people. but also uh look their relationship has had certain . concerning elements#for a long ass time. and we're talking about a guy that's had SO MANY of his professional and personal acquaintances#come out now and say that they personally have been a victim of his manipulation or know people who are#or you know. gestures at clips of him apparently biting a lot of people around that group in that area or whatever#like look we are in a situation where these patterns of behavior were extending to basically everyone he knew#so like. in the least truthy way possible bc /i dont know/ i dont know them i dont know their relationship#but also i can see patterns and i want to take the safest approach to this in terms of what im expecting from to . mmy's#hypothetical response. why are people assuming that he's just magically spared from any of this and has to just be like#a complete bystander??? why is the immediate assumption that there's no way he could be hurt as well#by someone described by associates as being manipulative to quite literally everyone he meets

I just find it mind-boggling that some people will reblog things like “Anakin didn’t care about Rex and his men, he wouldn’t listen to Fives just because he was friends with Palpatine” and then in the next post be gushing over Rexwalker/Rexanidala like???? so you agree. Anakin does care about Rex?
#some people will literally hate on either Anakin or the Jedi council for reasons that explicitly contradict the point of the prequels#and then YOU'RE either toxically positive or condoning abuse for liking all the characters and having a nuanced view of things#the takes I mentioned in the body of this post literally wiped out the fact that Palpatine groomed and manipulated him for Years just so-#-they could say “wow the clones didn’t deserve what that horrible guy Anakin did to them”#me: okay. so you’re saying they didn’t deserve for him to show kindness and friendship and help reinforce the mindset of individuality they#-already had and that the majority of jedi encouraged because they are a group who treasure individuality and have compassion on everyone &#-all things???#Anakin could be a shit person but he wasn’t to the clones and I will die on this hill#“he enslaved them” you’re pinning that on ANAKIN. a literal former slave. not the Republic or the Kaminoans?#he would have 0 reason to enslave them because he knows what that’s like. he’s been through that#why. WHY do people blame Anakin or the Jedi for 100% of everything going wrong instead of Palpatine.#you can blame Anakin for the choices he made and the Jedi Order for the oversights and legalism they started to have during the war#but enslavement of the clones??? not listening to Fives because of Palpatine???#if you want to blame Anakin for the clones being slaves you have to blame the rest of the Jedi too#and we all know how rare it is for ‘Anakin antis’ to also be ‘Jedi order antis’#quotation because there is a certain connotation and generalisation that comes with those phrases these days#I just don’t understand why Anakin is to blame for that specifically. blame him for being angry and violent and obsessive and turning to th#dark side logic+morals be damned to save one person yes but slavery??? he didn’t know about the chips and if he did you bet your ass he-#-would hate them just as much as the slave monitors on Tatooine#anyway#I want to see both sides of the debate i really do because some people have really good points on character motivations etc#but it’s getting ridiculous at this point. I always try to be a calm and positive space but some of y’all’s takes are contradictory bullshi#Fandom salt#swift talks#Swift rambles in the tags#vent#Jedi positive#meta#ish?#jedi positivity

HARRY IS THE BABY OF THE GROUP AND THEY FEEL HIM ALMOST DIE AT THE TENDER AGE 12 FROM BASILISK OF ALL THINGS! AND THEN FEEL HIM FULLY DIE AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 17 EVEN IF HE WAS BROUGHT BACK! THE BABY OF THE GROUP STIL DIED!!!
Do they feel Harry almost lost his soul to the dementors protecting Sirius in 3rd year? Imagine how traumatic that was for all the rest of them, to feel their soul, their very BEING slowly slipping away.
It’s one thing, they all soon agree, feeling each other die or get close to it. It’s never pleasant. It’s always traumatizing, but it’s a fact of the lives they all live that they will die or get damn close to it and comeback a surprising number of times.
It’s an entirely other thing when it’s Harry.
He’s the youngest of them, the smallest, the most vulnerable. Still none of them think it’s even a possibility of losing him until they feel the fire in their veins. Until they feel the burning spread from their arm closer and closer to their hearts with every frantic beat. Until they feel the agony of it stealing their breaths and the certainty that their number will be one less.
Until it stops. Leaving just as quickly as it arrived.
Until later when they see Harry with hallow eyes cradling his arm to his chest and tears on his face. Paler than he should be. Like he had lost far too much blood for his still too little body.
“How big did you say a Zolom was again Cloud?” He asked not looking at them. Not looking at anything but whatever horror has nearly killed him at all of twelve years old.
It’s a very different thing when it’s Harry.
They only wish he wouldn’t nearly die so often.
#the elf talks#chosen one support group#they absolutely felt the dementors#they also feel when he does at 17#which doesn’t hurt as much as it immediately forces them into The Room to see some old fuck manipulating their baby brother#is it an excuse for them to kick the shit out of Dumbledore?#yes but this is my incredibly indulgent crack au thank you

Day 28: Adventure
it's never easy to set off on your own, especially when you don't have the best sense of direction...
#miqomarch#miqomarch 2024#ffxiv miqo'te#seeker of the sun#final fantasy 14#when he first set off from the conjurer's guild he wasn't the best caster!#it was right after the calamity and he had never really managed to do a whole lot of it on his own#(turns out it's because he's set up for an entirely different kind of aether manipulation#but he didn't know that quite yet)#but he DID have working knowledge of pretty much every plant out there#and the ability to sneak into areas to get enough to work with#which is still valuable enough to a group of budding adventurers!#not that he did much of it. turns out it was a little too hectic for him#but it did put him in contact with a few ala mhigans who ended up bringing him back with them to gyr abania#where he actually could put his talents to use!

Non-Black “ally”: **Does something antiblack**
Black people: Can you not do that, and treat us with basic respect?
Non-Black “allies”:
“How dare you monkeys ask for basic respect? You’re supposed to be supporting us!”
“They can’t help it their culture is full of antiblackness!”
“It’s ok, (insert person). We accept your apology(even though we’re not black)!”
“Y’all are asking too much of them!”
“It’s always you Black Americans getting offended!”
*Blah, blah, blah, more racist dribble about how black people are supposed to mule for them*
Also the Non-Black “allies”:
Help! Help! Our group of people needs help! Bipoc/POC solidarity! We’ve always stood in solidarity with Black people!
Black people/me:
#black tumblr#black girls of tumblr#screw bipoc solidarity#ya’ll only scream that when you want someone to give you free labor at the cost of you mistreating us on every level#you don’t need our help#you want it#you want our help because you think of us as your collective mule to pass around to other non-blacks when they’re in trouble#the pocs will never do the same#if even asking for basic respect as black person during their times of need is too much for them then I have something to tell you#you’re not an ally#you’re a manipulative pos who thinks they can have a whole group of people at their disposal#screw poc solidarity#I hope black people specifically black girls and women start being more selfish#let the nonblacks fight for themselves#which they can do despite their incessant whining about needing us#soulaan#vent post

they need to add extra hours to the day i want to draw but also watch stuff... sad
#lulu.txt#and think about ocs as well. this group of ocs has existed for 12 years... haunting me#i feel like every two years their story gets entirely changed. sorry @ them maybe this time its fine bc i dont know anymore how it starts#nor how it ends it is about the journey and the friends we made along the way (HELP)#but im happy with thinking about each one of their motivations... makes me crazy#and random scenes that happen in my mind it is always great to think about random scenes that are so so so cool or#so important for everything... rotating them at high speeds#its been fun im trying to add more side characters to it or pick up characters that were already side characters and develop them more#playing dolls ☝️#some of them have cool powers i remember them and then i am like wow maybe teenager me had a point#theres a character that can manipulate dreams... and then make them show up they're awesome
