looking through my eras tour vids (cause post concert depression is real) and found this absolute GEM
Hello.
As you all know, I tend to keep people in my basement. Probably not the best thing to do as ive come to grow as a person. Really. I pledge to no longer keep people in my basement. Look, I know its a dick move i'm sorry.
From now on, I will free my captives and no longer hunt you down. Obviously, im not happy about this but I will try. Or like, do it less? Love Stupid green owl.
i genuinely think that the shift from the old marauders to the new one where every straight ship even the canon and most important one (i.e jily) and that whole jegulus/all the other made up ships that make no sense come from a place of fetish. yall LOVE to turn characters into little stereotypes and that whole constant obsession w homosexuality is not helping any cause. most of view view homosexual/queer relationships as more angsty or interesting in a way that’s so strange to me. ships could follow the most standard plot line but still be considered angsty cus they’re queer and why is that? this fandom has taken such a strange turn.
you are making sexuality such a strong and central point in a character importance more than any other trait of their character. and those head canons just end up erasing the most important things about these characters
james potter was a strong and good man. he developed from his arrogant teenage self into a good man fighting for a good cause. but now you made him into a twink that is in love with a death eater/ a member of the family that abused his best friend all his life. james and sirius’s relationship was a central point of their characters. and james’s love for lily is a central point as well??????
sirius being turned into a overly feminine gay drama queen, even though what WAS important about him was his loyalty his strength and his honor??? but all of that was forgotten. HE CAN BE GAY WITHOUT ERASING HIS ORIGINAL PERSONALITY. stop painting him into a stereotype of a gay man.
regulus black is getting the recognition that is to be given to sirius. his character was not some brave rebel vigilante that fought for justice. he was a pureblood supremacist.he was a deatheater. yes he is important to the story but he was not what you made him.
lily evans is the most important character of the series. she’s the reason it exists. her and james’s love is the center point. but it was pushed away by you people to focus on your strange fetishized view of gay men. this MAJOR character whose love for her son and husband literally MADE the story got cast away as a secondary character.
important topics like sirius’sabusive family, lily and james’s courage and love….was remplaced by ridiculized view of characters
make characters gay cus we don’t know anything about them yes okay that’s why wolf star was a major part of the fandom. but the complete shift of every single characters identity is just bullshit.
if the marauders were asian but specifically east and south east asian
the blacks: theyre so chinese coded idk but maybe korean
remus: malaysian. he handles spice like a fucking pro
lily: she is japanese and she is a kawaii type girl and shes fucking adorabld
marlene: white washed chinese or japanese
james: china but specifically guang zhou or hong kong cause he just gives cantonese vibes also hes very very very whitewashed
peter: singapore kiddo and therefore can speak like 5 languages/dialects
pandora: shes just korean skincare girly
evan: also korean but more nerd aesthetic yk
barty: wasian if he really has to be
dorcas: shes not asian in any universe imaginable ever
rita skeeter: same with her tbh
mary: whitewashed (but can still speak the language) i havent decided for her but i think vietnam kinda suits her
emmeline: shes already asian/wasian idc what anyone says
alice: shes white but shes very accepting of asian culture and is obsessed with kpop
frank: korean or (for some reason) thai
yes, he probably learned sarcasm from barty but he would still not use it too much i think. hes defo the more quiet thoughtful type
pls no one come for me on this but i feel like james is just so white boy coded. like he exudes british white boy energy. he just. i respect all those who hc him as poc but hes like (in my brain) the definition of a white boy. like in my head him and lily are the most annoyingly cute white straight couple that everyone still loves. anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk.
idc who u ship with sokka just know that he will be oblivious one and katara is SO tired
understood!!! i think originally regulus was honestly one of my favourite characters until people started to portray him as too misunderstood :(( he had an amazing balance between black and white and i think that some fans ruined it for me. tbh i hate bellatrix but i love her character and her insanity is so interesting to me. with draco, my feelings generally depend on the fic. i dont rlly have an opinion on him tbh but there are some really cute drarry oneshots that i have bookmarked. and cissy is genuinely one of my fav charateds ever narcissa black they could never make me hate you. narcissa malfoy however is a different story tbh but thats a whole other story
pls no one come for me on this but i feel like james is just so white boy coded. like he exudes british white boy energy. he just. i respect all those who hc him as poc but hes like (in my brain) the definition of a white boy. like in my head him and lily are the most annoyingly cute white straight couple that everyone still loves. anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk.
(SUPER ROUGH WIP) Korra leave the grandpas alone!!
did anyone else ever find it odd how easily zeus offered percy godhood? and how it almost seemed like he secretly wanted percy to accept? well i did, and after thinking long and hard about it…
i don’t think percy understood what turning down godhood really meant
demigods do tasks for the gods because they don’t have to follow any rules. they aren’t controlled by anyone or anything. demigods are a strange hybrid - not god, not human. they are in between the laws of immortal and mortal. they are not supposed to exist. yet they do, which is what makes them so extraordinary.
percy is crazy powerful. of course, there’s the aspect of raw power. he has domain over air (storms/hurricanes), land (earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), and sea (monster waves, tsunamis, floods, basically anything that involves water.) he can control bodily fluids. he has super strength (with one hand, he held up an unconscious annabeth who was being pulled down by both arachne AND the forces of tartarus). he has super speed (he moves faster than bullets in TTC). no matter how badly you hurt him, he automatically heals and regenerates the second he touches water (an ability no other demigod has). he’s an extraordinary swordsman. very skilled in combat and warfare. he’s smart, and thinks of plans quickly. but he also has a great deal of social/poltcial power… i mean, he’s a leader and hero to both the greek and roman camps. if he says “attack,” all demigods, greek or roman, attack. no question. do you have any idea how threatening that is to the olympians? he’s also best friends and has an empathy link with the lord of the wild, which basically means all of nature is by his side too, including all land creatures. he’s also prince of horses, which means pegasi too (both of which are extremely useful in battle). and of course all sea creatures, including the mythical ones like krakens and leviathans. not to mention many of the gods really like him. hermes, hephaestus, athena, aphrodite, and dionysis have all gone out of their way to help him. artemis holds him in high regard, especially since he saved her. apollo literally considers him his friend! and poseidon - his dad, the god who is the biggest threat to zeus - is fiercely protective of him and cares about him a great deal. many minor gods also like him because he demanded them to be given more respect and for their kids to be welcomed at the camps.
percy unknowingly has more power, both physical and social/political, than anyone should ever have. he may have absolutely no idea, but it must scare the living daylights out of zeus. by accepting zeus’s offer to become a god, percy would have submitted himself to the control of zeus. zeus would be his king and ruler. zeus would then have complete control over him.
but percy said no. therefore, percy remains out of zeus’s control.
percy had no idea what he was doing. but thank the gods he made that choice. thank the gods he’s an incredible person. thank the gods percy jackson has no desire for power, because he has more of it than anyone should ever be able to have.
sokka is a general yapper zuko is a 'dont get me started on this topic' yapper
yes sokka is generally a yapper, but zuko is the ultimate complainer which makes him a yapper too
thats true. i dont really know about the timing of the comics, but i think that aang and katara have both greatly matured since the show had ended and are probably ready to be in a relationship. idk if it's the younger/newer/social media generation but when i was 12/13/14, the age difference wasn't a big deal and i knew 12 and 14 year olds in relationships, so maybe i'm just not as affected
sorry to all the kataang shippers out there but kataang genuinely skeeves me out like
hes 12. shes 14. thats so weird to me. thats so Gross to me. thats a sixth grader, a kid brand new to middle school or even still in elementary school depending on location/school district, and a freshman in highschool.
and dont even say uM aCtUaLly HeS oNe HuNdReD aNd TwElVe i do not give the faintest fuck. he has the experience, mentality, physicality, all that shit, of a twelve year old. hes twelve. thats weird, thats gross, i dint like it
no judgment to kataang shippers though yall seem neato
