the umbrella academy fandom really said all of the siblings can fuck up and do horrible things and lash out because of their trauma. except for the black woman cause that’s not allowed

I need people to stop acting like Arlecchino was intended to be a one dimensional character. In my opinion, she is both cruel and caring in her own aspects.

Cruel as the product of the environment she was brought up in, fought to survive, to change the system, but she couldn't change it entirely and this is the best possible situation for children raised in a fatui environment. But still undeniably cruel in that she's still raising them in a system which promotes them more as weapons rather than people, manipulation, etc. even though she never tries to hide it.

Caring as the product of the former knave being deceitful about her care and using that image to exploit her children. She saw what it did to them, to her friend. And she most likely vowed to stop it. She is a character foil to her "mother", as many people have previously pointed out. When I say "heavily implied", I expect people to read through the lines and understand that her care for the children is in fact genuine.

You can call me biased. You can say that Childe's and Scaramouche's lines about her are contradictory to the image that is painted so far. But I don't think so. And this isn't to say that Childe or the Balladeer were lying per se, in fact, I fully agree with "there isn't a sane bone in her body." Because she is quite literally described as cursed and mad.

But that doesn't mean that she is incapable of being a complex character. She isn't black and white, despite what her appearance suggests. She can be caring to a specific group of people and put them in a system which actively destroys them. She can be condescending. She can be cruel. She can be nice. She can be rational. She can be insane. She can be all of those things, because of nuance.

So please, before you start tapping something online about how her character was horribly executed and she is walking contradiction, keep in mind that she was always intended to be playable and any voicelines about her were made while being aware of that fact. They didn't change anything to make her more likable. Stop consuming fandom content about her being a completely loving and devoted parent who's completely fine and come back to reality.

Ned having multiple angry outbursts throughout AGOT, even physically assaulting someone at one point, and still being viewed as the "calm and collected" counterpart to a "feral" Catelyn perfectly encapsulates this fandom's misogyny

So interesting how every girl in 50s Riverdale can be desirable except Ethel. Gee, I sure do wonder what's different about her

the scene where charley finds out about ribanna is such comedy gold to me. it literally goes like this

old shatterhand: yeah so winnetou doesn't like women huh

old firehand: well actually there was that one time where—

old shatterhand: HE QUEERBAITED ME??

No bc fuck tim but it really really bothers me how people ignore his growth like he used to be an asshole and I’ll give tim Stans one thing: now he’s so so so stale but what I disagree with is that this staleness is bc nobody likes him like it’s in fact the exact opposite where everyone likes him so much they dont want to do anything. Even when it’s him surface level challenging Bruce it’s when everyone else is doing it too; but he’s still the backbone of the fam! Etc. and it’s so irritating bc him gaining more compassion and empathy even for people he doesn’t fw is so fun to watch and that’s why the captain boomerang thing was so out of character! (Not in a from the author way but in a tim wouldn’t do that and he and Bruce both knew it which is why it went down like it did. Same way dick killing joker was ooc; not in fanon sense but in a he would hate himself forever for this sense) and speaking of that it’s such an interesting mirror to Bruce who genuinely believes that everyone can grow vs Tim’s it doesn’t matter if they grow it’s not my decision to make like it’s the same but it’s not AND WITH CASS’ IT DOESNT MATTER IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO GROW I WONT DO IT! like ugh. And anyways even when people acknowledge it they boil it down to “Janet and Jack taught him that the capitalist pigs that they are” like no. This is who tim was. Tim was the kind of guy who’d blame a dead kid for dying. That’s ok. Also Janet and Jack? Please reread anything involving them that’s not a fic like Jack had anger issues and they were both aloof at worst like relax.

I am always baffled by people who manage to trick themselves into thinking the show's main character would be in a gay relationship when it was obvious from word 1 it wasn't, and then you act like it's a betrayal when she's not.

Like, they didn't even fucking queerbait under even the most expansive definition.

Do you ever just

Anon from Tumblr SHOULD be allowed to compete because it's a collective identity. He's none of us. He's all of us. He is our impotent rage and our poor coping skills.... and also our single solitary brain cell who thinks that there is no country called Spania, but there IS one called Port o' Rico, and that gore/pomegranates should be tagged! I say, LET HIM IN! #AnonPropaganda (I do not endorse REAL anon hate, of course, I'm just thinking of all the dumbass anons that get passed around in Best/Worst of Tumblr compilations 😭)

intriguing... you are propagandizing for anonymous from tumblr dot com but don't even pause to consider that SHE may be a WOMAN... #whyineedfeminism

anyways, the Circle of Haters will take your input into account. we make no confirmation as to whether or not Anonymous (from Tumblr Dot Com) will be included in the main bracket, but we CAN confirm that Anon will definitely be in a bracket.

can u losers stop posting how bad u hate him in the mahito tag im trying to reblog art and gifs in here

my hobby is watching those “top most disturbing movies” “goriest movies” “movies banned in some countries” etc type lists to add to my ever growing watch list (I know… my hobby should be actually watching the movies on my watch list… it’s complicated. anyway.) & hostel 2 is on a list of most disturbing movies & im cracking up ‘cause that’s a comfort movie to me I always forget some people find it horrifying

Does anyone else just hate it when you headcanon a character as lesbian, and talk about why you see this character as lesbian and people come in and say "what about bisexual? 🥺"

Like I'm sorry I wasn't talking about her being bisexual. I'm talking about MY headcanon, and personally, I don't want men included in this headcanon of mine at all.

Why can't I, a lesbian, relate to a character and headcanon them as lesbian without men somehow being involved? I have to say "sapphic" or "wlw" so that there's still a chance she could like men in MY HEADCANON.

God forbid that I see this character as not liking men at all???

I need to quit my fucking job
