why juni ba’s the boy wonder has my favorite jason characterization of any contemporary comic run: a needlessly in-depth analysis (pt.1)

oh boy oh boy am i excited for this one buckle up boys it’s gonna be a long one. analysis under the cut (WITH PICTURES!!)

i, like many others, have many thoughts and opinions about juni ba's the boy wonder that i'd like to express. i was having trouble formatting my rant, though, so i decided that it was easiest to just address some of the common complaints i've seen about the comic and jason's characterization and insert my ramblings throughout it. so far i've seen three main complaints:

the typical boiling down of jason's character to "the angry one"

his lack of strategy going into the fight with the demon is out-of-character

the neighbor's kid interaction

to start with the first one-- when introducing jason's character, in both the second and first issue, ba uses the descriptors "coarse", "bitter", "hardened", "brash" and, of course, "rageful".

so, yes-- i understand where people are having issues with this characterization. however, even if it's overplayed, it's still important to remember that jason is angry, and is driven, in part, by his anger at bruce and the joker. and, as ba highlights, he deserved to be! completely erasing jason's anger is just as bad as defining him with it.

i also don't think it's wholly accurate to say that ba is boiling jason down to just his anger. it might seem like that when only considering the dialogue and narration, but jason's behavior in the comic doesn't perfectly align with how the narrator describes him. while the narration describes him as "rageful" and could be an instance of generalization, jason's actions throughout the comic are more aligned with two other emotions/motivators: fear and despair. we never see jason get actually, properly angry; the closest we get is when he's seemingly annoyed by damian (which i believe could be performative) and when he becomes violent, accidentally hurting damian.

even in this instance, though, he is not driven to this violence by rage, but rather fear. so, while ba states in the narration that jason is driven by his anger, he contradicts himself by highlighting how jason's sadness and terror motivates his character. this could be interpreted as lousy writing on ba's part, but i'm not going to attribute the paradox to that inference. to me, it actually represents a critque of the "jason is the angry robin" generalization, because it calls to attention the discrepancies between how one is described versus reality, an issue that jason both faces in the comics (bruce using him as a cautionary tale when dying WASN'T HIS FAULT) and outside of the comics, as mentioned previously.

furthermore, this highlights the difference between what jason believes about bruce's perspective and bruce's actual perspective (according to damian). jason believes himself to be a "failure", but damian refutes this by describing his conversation with bruce concerning jason, a conversation that does not align with jason's belief. if you couldn't tell by now, perception versus reality is a BIG theme in this comic (and for jason's character in general!)

i was really fascinated by ba's take on jason, because it veered pretty far from a lot of contemporary comics, most of which do, unfortunately, play with the angry robin jason generalization. they've been doing a bit with his fear, too, which has either been pretty fun or the most awful thing ever (i'm looking at you zdarsky. gotham war was fucked up), but what makes ba's jason stand out to me is how he grapples with his grief.

this boy is so sad. ba's jason might actually be the saddest rendition of him i've seen in canon content. we've seen jason grapple a little bit with the despair rooted in his death and resurrection, mainly in lost days, where he cries 3 (?) times, fresh out of the pit and very traumatized.

even in this comic, though, he reacts to his grief with anger more prominently than sadness. that obviously doesn't mean the despair isn't there, though-- anger is just an easier outlet for it (which i could really get into the masculinity aspects of that, but then this would be wayyyyyy too long).

ba's jason, though? that motherfucker is so. sad.

christ he's depressing. AND THAT'S SUCH A FRESH PERSPECTIVE!!!!!!! THANK YOU JUNI BA!!!!!!

now i'm pretty sure some people would argue that this rendition in out of character because he's so sad. to me, though, he's still the same jason; he covers up his sadness with anger and pettiness, redirecting his own insecurities onto those around him to mask his true feelings.

ba quite literally illustrates this in the comic. whenever he is being his snide, normal self, he has his red hood mask on; but when he actually opens up to damian and expresses himself truthfully, the mask is off. ba is highlighting how the classic jason anger and bitterness is, in part, a performance and coping mechanism.

this post is already too long, so i'll go over the two other critques in a different post, which i will link below (eventually). if you guys have any thoughts you'd like to share or discuss, my dms and asks are completely open! if you made it this far, i hope you enjoyed my ranting. look out for another post soon! :))

Hello, saw your work on Casper’s scar and I’m now wondering if u could write about male (or nonbinary, up to u) reader that has an injury from one of Caspers attempts to kill em and how Casper would react to seeing those scars. Love ur works.

An: Your wish is my command. I really love this idea. Thank you for the ask, and I hope you like it. Have a good day/night/afternoon, and don't forget to drink water :)

The Past Is The Past

Casper x Non-Binary Reader

Prompt - Scars

"Then I was like, no that's wrong", you said.

Casper nodded, wanting to know what happened next. You had just gotten home from work and Casper was listening to you rant about work.

Mortals seemed to be really stupid somethings.

Casper was about to ask what happened next when he noticed something. You removed your jacket and Casper noticed a scar on your arm.

"what's what?" Casper asked, getting off the bed to walk towards you. Casper felt his blood boil. Who dared to this to his sunshine. You followed Casper's gaze.

"Oh this, yeah I got it when that grand piano fell from a window", you said, smiling at the weird memory, now that you know it was Casper that did that.

Meanwhile, Casper wasn't smiling.

He had done that, Casper was the one to do that. Casper had hurt you, he was the one who dared. Casper reached forward, touching the top of the scar.

You flinched, "does it hurt", Casper asked. Drawing his finger back a bit. "No, not really. It's pretty old, maybe a few years", you said. Casper touched it again.

Running his finger up and down it. It was light pink against your skin, it was right below your shirt. On your upper arm right above your elbow.

Casper did this, he had hurt you years ago. "You okay Casper?" You asked, noticing Casper looked a little out of it. "I did this", Casper said, still tracing the scar.

You looked back at the scar, "yeah you did, but that was years ago", you said. Casper looked at you, "but I did it, I hurt you", Casper said, his voice full of hatred for himself.

"Do you have more?"

Casper asked, still tracing your scar. You sighed, knowing that you weren't getting out of this. You moved away from Casper and removed your shirt.

You held your shirt in your hands as Casper looked over you. Scars were over your back and arms. "There's more on the legs", you said. "This ones from the fire at work", you said.

Pointing to a burn scar. You started telling Casper about all of the scars, all from this Casper did. Casper watched with a blank face. He did all of this.

Casper traced each scar as you told him about them. Each one a failed attempt at your death. Casper felt tears brim his eyes but he blinked to keep them away.

Casper was feeling really guilty.

He did this, to the person he loved. Loved more then anything. "I'm sorry", Casper said. Tracing the largest scar on your back. "It's fine, it's in the past", you said.

Though you knew Casper wasn't convinced.

"You didn't know me then, you were just doing what you thought was right", you said. You took Casper's free hand and held it. His other still on your scar.

"You wouldn't do it again and your sorry you even did it, that's all I need", you said with a smile. Casper looked at you, you were fine with it.

You weren't mad at him.

You weren't angry that Casper hurt you, because it was in the past. Casper was sorry and he will never hurt you again. "You're right", Casper grabbed your arm and lifted it.

Casper placed a kiss on your scar, "I will never hurt you again", Casper said. You smiled, "that's all I want, now back to my story", you said before going back to ranting.

Casper smiled, he would never hurt you again.

Beware: a pessimistic rant with lots of speculations

Imo the decision to write Alicent and Criston having sex during b&c is really bad. I think it's a very unnecessary change, and I don't see how it fits the narrative. And it's so obvious what the writers' intentions are. They are not interested in exploring these characters and their relationship. They just want to shift the focus away from blood and cheese and make the greens look bad. Of course, in no way Alicent and Criston having sex makes them guilty of the tragedy that is b&c. But it seems that the show is taking the focus away from team black's fault to blame the greens. I don't believe that the showrunners don't know what they are doing.

In the books, Alicent was right there when it happened. She was the witness of team black's cruelty. She saw how they tormented her sweet daughter and her grandchildren, how they killed her grandson. Murderers making Alicent witness everything contributed to how vile b&c was, how unnecessary cruel. It gave Alicent even more motivation to fight her family's enemies and seek revenge. But now, thanks to hotd's bullshit she's going to blame herself more than anyone else. Wonderful. Why make her absent during b&c and add this new plotline about her feeling guilty because of it? Because god forbid Alicent starts being angry and hating her enemies again, right? They just have to make Alicent conflicted about her every action. They can't allow her to have confidence again. She has to always blame herself. They just have to make Alicent and Criston continue feeling bad about themselves.

There's also this picture:

Are they making it so that Aegon doesn't notice the murderer right under his nose?

So what do we get? Aegon doesn't notice Blood, probably because he's lightheaded or drunk. Alicent and Criston are absent having sex. And I'm not going to be surprised if they make Aemond go to the brothel during b&c, too. It feels like a joke.

B&C is supposed to show the cruelty team black is capable of. But instead of focusing on that, they're going to make all the greens look incompetent and feel guilty. And knowing this show they might even frame it as if the greens are at fault for what happened too. Tbh it's disgusting. The only people who are guilty are the ones who ordered, orchestrated and executed this bloody spectacle. But they are probably gonna not just make Daemon the only one behind it, but make the whole thing an accident. We already have leaks saying that Rhaenyra and Daemon just wanted to kill Aemond. It's going to be so bad.

House of the dragon? No, house of the accidents. House of the cringe and bad writing.

I understand you not wanting others to tag your posts with a certain ship but do you expect someone scrolling trough their For You page and coming across one of your posts they might like and want to reblog to go to your profile to check what preferences you have re. their tags on their blogs? No one does that, especially if they don't come across your post directly (which might be tagged "please don't tag a x") but they come across someone who ships it having reblogged it with the ship tags and therefore think it's fine to for their own blog. If I had to go scrolling to every OP blog before reblogging every post it would take ages

I don’t expect people to check my blog when they come across me in their for you page no, but here’s the thing! I don’t tag any of my content as shipping content, and unless your adding commentary in the tags, you shouldn’t be changing my original tags! If something isn’t tagged as ship, don’t add the fucking tag!

Now say someone comes across my posts through reblogs, and it’s not tagged with anything because the person who reblogged it didn’t add any of their own or keep my original tags? Whatever shall you do? It’s really simple! None of the snippets I share or headcanon I post are shipping content or have shipping content in them. That’s obvious, because I make it that way. If you think two characters being in a scene together means I’m shipping them, then you need to grow up.

If you see something, and you aren’t sure if it’s ship content or not, It takes two seconds to check previous tags, and I shouldn’t have to post a disclaimer on every single post of mine just so shippers don’t take it over.

Now, for the example you gave me, of someone scrolling through someone else’s blog and seeing it marked as ship content and not realising I don’t want it to be tagged as such, here’s a real quick solution for that! Don’t tag my content as shipping content in the fucking first place! If people are seeing and reblogging my posts, that chain starts with me and my tags. Respect my fucking tags.

Not everything is for shippers, I shouldn’t have to put a disclaimer on every single one of my posts just to get people to mind my tags. Me setting a boundary is not a personal affront to you. This is the one and only time i will be responding to any kind of asks like this. Get out of my inbox, and leave me alone.

#if this seems like an angry rant that’s because it is #you don’t get to dictate my boundaries and how I set them just because you don’t agree with them #especially not anonymously #I do not care what you ship but I am making it as clear as possible to everyone to leave me out of it #be respectful of peoples tags and boundaries #take your entitlement somewhere else #there are lots of talented creators in the fandom that make ship content #and I am not one of them #I want everyone to know this is not directed at anyone in particular #nor was my initial boundary post. it's just a problem i've been having #if this is something you've done unknowingly don't feel bad just do better #asteria answers asks #anonymous

I jokingly thought before that reading Junie B. Jones as a kid turned me into a feminist, but unironically, it kind of did.

I honestly think it comes down to the fact that Junie B. was not only allowed to be "weird," but her character arc never concluded like other girl characters would. In other media featuring "weird girls," the girl always ended her arc tamed - by force or convince, she would be prettied up, she would smile and be polite, and she would never speak out of turn. She would be perfect then, and would shed her veneer of individuality with the freedom that is conformity. As a kid, I noticed that girls weren't permitted to be "weird" like boys were. So when I read Junie B. Jones, I loved that she was frankly just fucking weird. She said things out of turn, she was rambunctious and imaginative and she was a realistic portrayal of a little girl. I loved reading those books because the narrative taught her lessons without punishing her for being weird, if that makes sense. So often, narratives punished weird girls for the crime of being a socially unacceptable girl, not for any true wrongdoing like lying.

Anyway, I just think it's interesting, because I watched and read a ton of books and shows and movies featuring girls and women, but none of them truly empathized with (or even tried to empathize with) weird girls on their own merits and capabilities and terms, or embraced the idea of a "socially inept/unacceptable" girl without punishing her in some way for her supposed ineptitude.

#feminism #and like junie b. got in trouble A LOT but she wasn't punished FOR being weird (honestly i thought she was adhd as a kid)#i haven't read the books in WELL over a decade but this is what i truly remember liking about the books #and i felt as a kid it said something that she was a seeming rarity among the sea of other portrayals of girls #am i looking too deep into this? honestly i don't care #and it makes me wonder if all the pushback those books got was partially because junie b. wasn't an 'acceptable' girl #like she's no more 'out there' than the portrayals of little boys that are out there and there were lessons and things from what i remember #i'm not saying you HAVE to like the books by the way but i think sometimes other people can get really angry about GIRLS acting like kids #i was ranting about these books to my dad because he didn't like them but he did still let me read them so thanks dad 🫡🫡#i just remember them being a huge part of my personal library because of how realistic and relatable junie b. was #like i acted really similarly to her when i was a kid and i felt like i was being understood (which is why i hc she's adhd/audhd/autistic)

Lately I've only been wishing to grab a comic about my favorite character and just have a genuinely good time reading it.

#I can't remember the last time I took a Deadpool comic and genuinely had a good time about it #I hate the direction they took with his character and it's so disrespectful that I don't even talk about I don't even think *any* Deadpool #fan genuinely talk about it because were so tired of his kids characterization we all just collectively decided to ignore whatever hell #marvel through at him #but rant aside #it's just–#I am not sure if comic books are fun anymore I don't even know who I am making content for half of the people on my notes haven't touched #comic book and aren't pretending to do so #people who read the comics tend to be so mean or bitter about it that even if you follow most will be angry about something #comic or fan related and I don't know if I can blame them but following that is draining #and as much as I was trying to be a good sport about it you make a post about comic book characters and #and the overwhelming response is 'I don't read the comics but'– following up by a take about them that doesn't even recognize any core #aspect of their personality that you can't even grasp you can't even recognize them #you can't recognize them on tue cannon you can't recognize them on the fannon #and no matter how engaging you try to make content about the fandom people just–*refuse* to read it. And then– they *refuse* to tag fannon #content as fannon #and *refuse* to leave either #Yes we are all having fun but how can a character tag be so so filled with people who have no idea of who they are #how can a character can be properly loved and take care of and have content that respect them if no one makes any attempt to *know them*#and it's disheartening because *comics* are supposed to be fun *fannon are supposed to be fun*#but for aome reason it's really *really* hard to have fun here anymore #I created this page to share my love for the characters I care about and see more content of people who care about them too #but I can't even *find* people who care about them any more and when I do they're all so angry and upset– And I *cant even blame them*#I just... I don't know why I am doing this anymore or for who I am doing this anymore #sorry to vent but it's been a while since I haven't been had a genuinely good time™ enjoying comics #I don't think even people who write those comics enjoy those comics or care about those characters #Sometimes feels like everyone is projecting on those characters rather than *writing about them*. And I can't find them anymore #fanfics used to be about love petters to characters who you love #nowadays seems like a competition to see who makes more funny words with tropes pre-written since 2007 #vent

the answer is that you've bought in to your buddie delusions so hard that you're making things up to justify turning tommy into a predator while you turn buck into a helpless baby character because the buddie manifesto at this point is just a bunch of homophobic and racist stereotypes scribbled in crayon

forgive me if I don't take the Superior Media Literacy of people who came up with the stupidity of lasagna theory seriously

HUH??

here’s the post i assume you’re referring to.

the one where i specifically said that i DO NOT think Tommy assaulted him and that he was obviously cool with it???

plus, coming at me for my media literacy? not the flex you think it is

not sure where homophobic or racist comes in at all since you offered no explanation. idk about lasagna theory either

you seem to have a lot of big feelings that you’re directing at me just because we disagree over a show, so, maybe deal with that on your own time idk

y’all get so mad like i’m attacking the characters or the story or something, i genuinely have no problem with the storyline/relationship playing out however it may, because it’s actually just a show and i’m okay if it doesn’t turn out the way i want it to.

i like to try and figure out what symbolism means in shows and why writers and directors made the choices they did, i’m really sorry if that offends you.

i hope you have a good day (maybe block me if that’ll make you feel better)

#also making buck a helpless baby??? where??#not in this post but i’ve made multiple about how i hate when people like to excuse bucks actions because of his trauma #people love to forget how dirty he did taylor just because they think her character was annoying #i’m sorry but she didn’t deserve that and he was fucked for how he dealt with not wanting to tell her he cheated #sorry to rant about that in the tags but it seemed not that related to the ask #buddie #911 #evan buckley #some bucktommy stans are absolutely wild #this angry over theory’s about a tv show #please get well soon

#how to keep hopeful when you feel like God's not going to give you the one thing youre hoping for #how to keep from being angry at God because you just don't see movement in your life in this one area #yet when you pray for God's will #He assures you you're where He wants you #I have never wanted this thing before and now that I'm older I find myself longing for it #It's hard to listen to my parents when their only answer to everything is “pray about it” as if I havent been doing so for years #It's hard to take their whole “be patient” speech seriously when my mom married at 21 #My dad only slightly understands but I feel like its different at the same time #I was perfectly fine in church until the Pastor told a story about a married couple and the whole church was laughing while I nearly cried #I am the only single lady in my church on top of the only single person in my age group #I'm not even sure why God gave me this desire for marriage and a family #I feel like “God why would you give me this burning desire to have a family and marriage that glorifies and honors you if you weren't going #to give me said thing?“#I'm asking God to help me enjoy being single but at the same time I feel myself starting to grow bitter and thats something I dont want.#I know not everyone is called to be married and thats what's got me messed up and angry because if I'm not called to marriage #why did He give me the desire for it? I feel like that's just cruel and I know God isn't mean or cruel #also sorry Narni for stealing the way you rant lol #I feel bad everytime I post a rant and using tags seems to work better so I don't feel so bad

I've been trying to write this in my fic wips but I have tried and failed. Numerous of times. So I'm going to write it as a small observation about parralels that may have been mentioned already, or not.

I've noticed the scene from S5 (routinely pushes this scene down a flight of stairs 🤍), where Stiles literally hits Scott against a wall and throws Scott to the floor in the hospital. I couldn't help but notice how similar this is to the memory where Claudia throws a younger stiles to the ground on the hospital roof back in s3 maybe (correct me)? When they first really talked about Claudia. This was only a vivid memory however. Where Claudia was still alive and suffering with frontotemporal dementia.

Stiles was defenseless against his mom as she shouts in this memory and had pushed Stiles to the ground. She was telling him that he was trying to kill her even when that wasn't true. Stiles was raising his hands to protect his face from her hitting him as Noah tried prying her away from hitting her own son.

And then we have Scott defenseless and severely injured underneath stiles (remember- his chest wound), putting his hands weakly in front of himself when Stiles is yelling down at him. "WHERE WERE YOU." And the adults had to pry him away too.

I'm not a fan of it and I think the writers writing stiles off as not at fault for replicating the behavior was a big 'no no.' Didn't apologize. And this is one of the times where I truly rejected canon because the fight was written... Terribly (without a good resolve, in my opinion, and I'll always say that unfortunately). but I loved spotting this parallel. I hope I worded it coherently.

#I also want to know more about how Scott was also in the emergency contact list (or that was my major assumption at least 👀)#stiles stilinski #scott mccall #teen wolf #Scott looked so angry but he was pulling it back #His best friend just attacked him and I just -#*pushes the scene down a flight of stairs or vigorously does rewrites*#The thing that always upsets me is the writers still tried to make stiles seem like the good guy that deserves all the blankets and I'm so #Puzzled #Because I love sciles but I think stiles should have apologized because he took it too far #Whether he was triggered or not that's not okay behavior 😅#I will forever hate this scene #I prefer the rain scene because thats ALL we REALLY needed to know that they're fighting #this is a rant #Dang I tried being positive about this s5 scene and I failed miserably 😂#anti stiles stilinski #Tagging that just in case

After talking about race online in both a fandom setting but also in a political setting like I do on other platforms it is extremely draining because most of you can read my words and feel nothing but I’m actually dealing with these things in my real life.

Its not just about a tv show it’s about how to world devalues black and brown people and their stories. It’s the world constantly telling me that I am not valuable. So sure we can write our own stories, but does that change the mindset that entitles you to discard us?

#teya rants #im not going to talk about this all day for my own health #it does make me angry and emotional because I do try to open these conversations up and it seems like nothing changes

some people on this app keep accusing everyone who calls mike/f1nn pretty, or says "babygirl", or finds him attractive of having a "weird" obsession or of having a femboy kink and I want those people to know that it is so much fucking weirder to make that assumption and to use that word to describe him than it is for fans to use those adjectives in the first place

#finn has literally posted pics where his friends call him babygirl in thr caption stop defending him against shit hes not upset by tbh.#but even aside from his personal feelings because NONE OF US KNOW HIM #why are you SO offended by someone thinking a man is pretty. why is that upsetting you.#i remember months back someone was on this multi post rant about how terrible it was that someone said he was androgynous #and likr again WHY was that upsetting to you.#maybe its not accurate but 1. androgyny isnt one thing 2. they didnt seem mad about THAT they seemed angry about applying it to finn #hes exactly arnold schwarzenegger is he like thats not bad he just isnt #some people try to be so woke they become actively queerphobic #text #rant

i can’t even escape the eddie x reader shit in the lucas tag. that entire tag is flooded with content that literally doesn’t even feature lucas. head in my hands crying acreaming

#i wanna see other people’s interpretations of lucas’ character so badly #it’s all other content or people deciding stranger things is the most horrific representation for minorities ever #there are problems with it but you can really tell that some people aren’t looking far enough into the actual details of the show and take #it very surface level #and the story isn’t over. they aren’t going to suffer forever and never find happiness like it’s confirmed st is gonna have a happy ending #for our characters #i think sometimes people are looking at the cast as just minorities and not actual developing characters y’know #yes lucas is a black man and experienced racism and it isn’t being handled as well as it could be but stuff like him joining basketball #wasn’t about him being a stereotype. I’ve yet to read lucas on the line but I’m pretty certain he joined basketball because conforming to #stereotypes present in the 80’s was the only way for him to gain popularity and at the end of the season he decides it isn’t what he really #wants #and will isn’t the horrible gay rep they say he is because his story isn’t finished yet either #he IS going to end up with mike. he is going to have a hero arc and finally get to be happy #the show needs to be criticized for the way it handled billy and jason and brenner for sure #but our minority characters are more than just minorities and it feels like that’s just what people see instead of reading into them more #we can criticize media without it automatically being the worst show on the planet and making seem like enjoying it makes you a horrible #person #sorry for the rant it’s just frustrating how much of lucas’ character is being used to hate stranger things rather than having people look #at lucas as a character as well as a minority #people have every right to be angry but dumbing lucas down to just being a stereotype erases his character and his struggles #erica is definitely written as stereotypical but they’re also starting to expand on her character in season 4 and i think that’ll continue #in season 5. the closer she gets to being a central character the more we learn about her and i hope the duffers listen to what people have #been saying and continue to give her depth #im open to being told if/why this is a bad take though

#'fandom rant' anon #yes feel free to always come to me if you want to rant <3 i get it lol #and yeah i've definitely noticed that to- i love people not blindly following their faves and having a healthy level of criticism #because that's super important! hero worship is never good!#but yeah then you get some people who fall back on that when they legitimately don't seem to like them or one of them anymore #and it begs the question why they're still here if they're disappointed by everything they do #not in a 'how dare you be disappointed in my fave way!!!!!' (because i don't care) but in the way that they don't seem happy to be here #i do think it's complex because people have complicated relationships with these kinds of things- like they used to bring you joy but now #they don't and it's hard to give something up #but there's some people i genuinely think would be happier if they took a step back so they could realize whether this fandom is genuinely #something that makes them happy or not #and then proceed from there #because they just seem to be angrier and angrier or sadder and sadder as they move through the fandom #and even though we deal with some heavier topics in this fandom- it is still a fandom and the purpose should be having fun #and yesss about what you said about expectations #i really dislike the catastrophizing that happens in fandom so often #like i understand trying to brace yourself for the worst but when you're constantly spreading the worst case scenario #it's just.... needlessly miserable. especially when the worst case scenario doesn't happen the majority of the time so you end up with so #many people anxious or disappointed about something that hasn't even happened yet lmao #and like you said- it doesn't end up being a 'bracing yourself' situation when people are just as angry and disappointed when it does happen #and also 100% about people getting mad at others for not being angry enough or sad enough- that is entirely unfair and more of #a 'misery loves company' than anything because this is a FANDOM. you should want people to have fun! you shouldn't want them to be stressed #and anxious constantly over celebrity's lives. we have enough anxiety about our own lives lmao #sorry this is making your fandom experience worse than it needs to be :/ it is hard to avoid sometimes #hopefully you find people to follow that make you more happy than sad or anxious #ily!!#asks #anonymous

Don't pretend like you know anything about me if we don't talk outside of brief small talk and the occasional dm

#rant #sometimes people i meet act like they know anything about me just because they happen to have dms with me #so many people seem to pretend that just cause i chat with them a few times that we are automatically friends and think i owe them my time #and my attention #i am sick of it #people immediately deciding they hate me because i don't give them my undivided attention and support 100% of the time #people who dont respect any of my boundaries and get angry when i decide i am better off not associating with them #people who clearly want to impress me so bad cause they think being my friend is an instant shot at popularity #i dont mean to sound vain but people on multiple platforms have tried to get buddy buddy with me because im the big artist of the fandom #aka one of the few people who post art frequently #and whatever #i am tired of how I'm treated #only my close friends know me well enough to know me #i owe you nothing. not even my friendship #i owe nothing to anyone

damn that space rpg time loop video game that i was so excited about has two of the four female love interests (my favorite two)‏‏‎ ‎break up with you in the end no matter what and they're literally the only ones who do that. oh but there's a "secret" one who you can date if you flirt with her (an adult) while you are a teenager. cool 😐

#i'm still going to buy the game because everything else about it still seems so perfect for me #but ngl i am Really Fucking Sick of game devs favoring male romances over female ones #even if this isn't 'favoring' them per se it's still like. shutting you out of a happy ending with some characters for no reason #'it's supposed to be a commentary about teenage relationships not lasting forever'#okay but why can you have relationships that last forever with. checks notes.#100% of the male characters and 50% of the female ones #and also i'm sorry maybe i'll like them when i play the game but MULTIPLE male love interests seem like total assholes #but sure they get the functional healthy relationships forever.#christ. i'm sure this wasn't purposeful on the part of the devs but #why is it sooooo fucking impossible to be a lesbian who likes romance features in video games.#there's SOOOO much out there for straight women and straight men #and even comparatively a lot for gay men #and the lesbians get. a couple of super niche visual novels and the multi-gender stuff #which nearly always pushes you towards the guys! CASE IN POINT!#sorry i guess this turned into a rant but i've been thinking about this for a while #not to be the Angry Lesbian i'm just feeling sad and let down #i guess i am posting this on a literal self ship blog i can rewrite the endings if i really hate them #and i'm really invested. it's just annoying to me that they even made that choice!#and it dampens my enjoyment for a game i was literally daydreaming about. so that sucks.#congrats if you read this far lol <3 #nyx on comms
