listen I could make this a literal essay but I won't. tl;dr: I don't get why people get so angry about the concepts of demons or monsters being nice. for starters, if you read mythology, demons are pretty fucking chill; it's not all about fucking with humans. plus it's so boring to see the same plot regurgitated in movies and whatnot about evil demons wanting to ruin humans lives or some crap like that.

#look i'll admit i'm a nerd i love mythology and i love things based off or inspired by mythology!#but like...i'll be real. i've got some issues with religion from how i was raised. i don't like mainstream religion #i was raised with the idea of a god who doesn't seem very kind. at least if they're anything like the followers - i'm not interested!#but demonic and pagan deities seem so human. they do good and bad things. they love and they hate. that feels more real to me #of course this is super watered down sparknotes version of this train of thought and everyone's entitled to their own opinions!#but i'm so tired of 'why are the demons nice' or 'i wanted them to be mean' well i don't. even if fictional versions!#the world is cruel already man maybe i want to believe in kind gods. don't care where they come from (though i am pretty biased to be fair)#like...real demons have nuance. they're not all what you'd consider evil. most teach things! i think they're pretty cool imo #anyway. no bothering me with spam messages about proselytizing or 'you're going to hell' don't care didn't ask go away #speech bubbles #ask me to tag
