Oh damn the Catholics have joined in on the war against AI "art".

‼️ATTENTION TUMBLR USERS‼️

📺 🚨 Emergency Broadcast 🚨 📺

I saw someone a while back said something about if you like/simp for a fictional villain that is completely and utterly morally wrong, that means you support their decisions.

As someone who is a huge fan of villains, I don’t think this is true.

I’ll use Dottore from Genshin Impact as an example here. This includes some spoilers for his character in the Sumeru Arc!

Dottore is essentially an evil scientist, for those who aren’t aware. He experimented on the sick and crippled, including children. He experimented on himself and split his ages into different bodies, making almost identical clones of himself to get more work done. (Spoiler warning) He also kills his clones with no second thought, despite them being sentient and having their own emotions and feelings. On top of this, he is second in rank of the main antagonistic group of the game.

Dottore is a terrible person who is pretty much beyond redemption. In fact, I hope he doesn’t redeem himself! It would betray the darkness of his character and storyline. He’s a fantastic villain. He makes you hate him, it makes you want to defend the people he’s hurt! Which means simply, they wrote his character perfectly.

My mother told me as a child that, “If the bad guy makes you angry, that means he was portrayed perfectly.”

This doesn’t mean you support the character, it means you appreciate the complexity of it.

Loki from Marvel is another decent example. He’s not a good person, he’s done many terrible things. He tried to kill his brother many times, but in the end he redeemed himself by sacrificing his life. There’s a lot of things Loki did that weren’t good. He’s a villain for a reason, but he’s a little more complex than just face value evil. Does this mean you support the evil he’s done? No! It simply means he was well written.

This maybe a controversial take, but it’s the same for people who like the Vee’s from Hazbin Hotel.

The three of them aren’t good people. In fact, they’re all terrible! They harm others for the sake of power, thinking only of themselves. I won’t go into detail regarding how some of them do this, seeing as how it’s really dark and may touch some nerves I’d rather not.

Vox, Velvette, and Valentino are all fantastic villains. They make you angry, make you wanna put their head through a wall… which means they are well written. I will say, I’m very enticed by the three of them. They’re flamboyant and loud with some humorous moments. However, because I enjoy their characters does not mean I support their actions.

Akaza from Demon Slayer. I’m down bad for him, I think he’s hot and complicated! But he also kills all kinds of people and is an Upper Rank Demon. I don’t support that! Just because he’s tragic doesn’t mean it’s justified.

Long story short, you can enjoy characters without supporting their heinous actions. Doesn’t make you a bad person to enjoy a character. If you support a villains actions due to blindness by bias, then there’s a different problem.

and what if i was just so ill

they are so meow!! so so... power couple!!! and gay!!!! happy valentines i mean valentino day gang

I was putting away my radio at work earlier and I said "video killed the radio star" and nobody laughed, I fucking hate it here 😒

✨JEALOUSY✨

One thing I do when it comes to shipping is just thinking of how possessive or jealous said characters of ship would be. It’s like fucking mandatory at this point for me so you know what that means.

ATSV JEALOUSY!!!!

Ships used in this post are my go twos Goldenpunk and Ghostflower cause they’re my OTPs. (Since I’m following the movies a bit let’s just say that Pavitr and Gayatri just has a mutual break up and are besties okay? Okay, we don’t tolerate Gayatri slander here.) No like? No read.

Ok right off the bat Hobie is definitely not the jealous type at all. Nada, zilch, nope. To me he’s just confident and knows that Pavitr isn’t gonna go run off with some random person so he doesn’t really feel the need to be jealous in the first place. But don’t get it twisted there’s a difference between jealousy and anger. Such as if Pav is getting uncomfortable in a situation where someone keeps on trying to push themselves onto him after Pav has said no. Yeah Hobie is gonna threaten the hell out of them but if it continues he’s not afraid to fight. Doesn’t matter if you’re a boy, girl, or whatever you better know sign language cause all you gonna be seeing is hands. He is very big about boundaries and doesn’t play when it comes to it as well.

I can’t really see Gwen as the jealous type. “BuT pAwS DIDNTYOUSEEHERDRAGGINGMILESAWAYFROMMARGO!!!!!!” Yes yes I know I know but this whole thing for me is happening after the whole multiverse chase Miles to the ends of the earth thing happened. So yeah she’ll feel a tad bit jealous when Miles gets flirted on by another girl (he doesn’t even notice that he’s being flirted on unless it’s really obvious let’s be honest) but it’s quickly overridden by guilt that since she betrayed Miles and really hurt him emotionally that yeah maybe he does deserve someone better than me someone that won’t hurt him so badly. Miles is quick to break that train of thought tho. The moment he sees that look on her face he’s quick to realize that he’s being flirted on and wraps his arm around Gwen’s waist and is like “This is my girlfriend Gwen by the way, you two should hang out some time, it sounds like you guys have some stuff in common.” And reassures her that no one in the entire multiverse could ever make his heart race like her.

Miles yeah he’s the jealous type. You can’t tell me this walking ray of sunflowers doesn’t have some type of tiny insecurities after that whole fucking being body slammed into a damm train thing and having someone tell you you’re a mistake thing happen to him. NO ONE CAN WALK OUT OF THAT THING WITHOUT AT LEAST A TINY BIT OF DOUBT. Also it was obvious with anytime Gwen mentioned staying over at Hobie’s during the second movie. He’s not very like obvious with it, it’s more like when he sees someone flirting with Gwen he stands closer to her and “casually” wraps his arm around around her shoulders. He’s basically the song Jealous by Nick Jonas and no one can ever convince me otherwise. He gets why people would flirt with Gwen cause who the hell wouldn’t his girlfriend is fucking amazing but dude back tf up she’s taken.

Pav……this man…this man lowkey fucking possessive. He’s not even fucking subtle about it, while Miles might glare a bit this man is is sending fucking death threats with his eyes. It’s not even from insecurity too this man managed to date Gayatri who is a fucking model and now he’s dating Hobie who was also a fucking model this man is confident as shit. It’s more along the lines that everyone just keeps on fucking staring and flirting with Hobie (and he can’t blame them have you seen his boyfriend?) and honestly it’s becoming annoying to be like “yeah MY BOYFRIEND is amazing isn’t he? I’m so glad we’re dating.” All the damm time cause cause Hobie finds it fucking hilarious when Pav is “jealous”, so he makes it clear that they’re dating from the very beginning. Anytime someone is flirting with Hobie he walks next to his boyfriend and like snatches his hand into his own very fucking obviously. There’s no way people don’t immediately catch on and back off. And we’ve seen the way he’s talked about Gayatri there’s no way he doesn’t gush and go on and on about Hobie and how his boyfriend is so hot and is in the band and can play guitar and has amazing fashion taste and such. He’ll fawn over Hobie to anyone who has ears this man doesn’t shut up.

i NEED daniel pemberton to bless us with a mashup of all the arachkid themes like pls. pls pls pls 😁

day 40 of me obsessively drawing this man send help

why do people think pavitr is 13????? (a bit of a rant including other things)

that man has a girlfriend (canonically) which means he's old enough to date, has defined muscles, a deep voice, goes to highschool, etc

what i mean by "old enough to date" is like... come one. when you're 13, relationships don't last forever. 15-18 is your prime.

i really don't get how people see him as 13-14. my man is NOT a middle schooler bffr 💀 his voice would be SO MUCH HIGHER if he was 13

"but the artbook said-" that was a CONCEPT. A CONCEPT. SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT PAST BRAINSTORMING. he is 100% 15-16, and i will die on that hill

same goes for hobie. y'all, would you be so kind to explain how a 19-20 year old would be friends with a bunch of highschoolers? it makes no sense when the three others are 15-16 and suddenly hobie is 19?? wouldnt he be too old for the other arachkids or something...

sure, his age range says "16-19" but that doesn't immediately mean that he's 19 now, guys. its an age range for a reason.

about him saying he goes to the pub: hey guys guess what? underage drinking if he can fool you he can fool other people. also... he's literally spider-punk. you expect SPIDER-PUNK to abide by the legal drinking age 💀

im gonna guess he has that boat illegally aswell. now, some people have also made really good posts on this too, so if you want to check those out, im pretty sure searching up "hobie's age" will give you some good ones.

edit: one more point to make here. some black people in the ATSV community are actually pretty upset and offended at people adultifying hobie, same goes for making pavitr 13. just overall, don't believe these things and use common sense please.

tldr; im pissed off at people saying pav is 13 and hobie is 19-20 when they arent imo

ultimate goober duo

its getting closer to october

you know what that means, fanfic writers and artists

im going feral

i need to grab everyone and get them to understand if hobie’s colours change based on his emotions, then him becoming his normal colours but much saturated around pavitr means he’s COMFORTABLE WITH HIM. there is no one true colour or accent

he’s all of them, his literal TRUE colours

*when they met for the first time*

pavitr: where are you from?

hobie: england

pavitr: i'm sorry

hobie, a little louder: england

pavitr: no, i heard. i'm just sorry
