Kaizoku Oujo // Episode 8

The Boy and the Beast scenery

Consider:

On your journey to your new case, you meet a strange man. They're intelligent, sarcastic and arrogant, a true piece of work. You leave him speechless and angered. But what do you do when you see he's your partner in solving the case? This is your journey from your first meeting.

“don’t reduce this female character down to a love interest” does not translate into “this female character shouldn’t have a love interest.”

preventing female characters with strong, compelling narratives from experiencing love, intimacy, and affection is just as regressive as reducing them down to sexual accessories for male characters. it assumes that women must choose between a romantic interest and depth of character and ignores a far more productive message: that women are capable of possessing both. 

If you didn't want me to fall for the villain you shouldn't have made them sexy and sad

kind of obsessed with the new trend of sites like buzzfeed using terms like “lying” and “fooling you” regarding storylines/couples/film techniques in movies and tv. wandavision is gaslighting you into thinking superheroes are real! this actor had a stunt double do this particular stunt, he TRICKED you! these actors LIED and made you think that they’re together when ACTUALLY they’re married to other people!

— you must’ve had a hard time all alone. — a little.

Sometimes you ship villains because you like their dynamic. Other times, you ship villains because you like the "power couple" trope, or because their aesthetics complement each other, or maybe because even the nastiest scumbags of this world deserve to be loved.

But sometimes, sometimes you ship villains for the sweet, sadistic joy of taking a horrible bastard without a single redeeming quality in sight, ripping his chest open with your bare hands, grabbing his shrivelled up husk of a heart, and forcing it to feel.

aint this the fucken truth
