Happy Blacktober2023

trope i really like: when a character is so bad at showing emotion that everyone thinks they're cold and emotionless, except for the one person who knows them well enough to read them. decoding their behaviour like 'oh he's tugging on his ear that means he's embarrassed' and everyone else is like '?????? how do you know that?????'

tragic fictional siblings... save me...

tragic fictional siblings

save me tragic fictional siblings

Hobie Brown is a lot more like Percy Jackson than Peter Parker is

Grew up a troubled but good kid breaking cycles

Trans femme with gender fuckery in a way that comes across as masc to normies

Chillaxed and super kind and goofy and loves cute/kiddy shit and people but also has a rbf,the biggest street cred in his whole franchise and is a supreme edgecase

Audhd with no masking game and definitely bptsd too

The oldest and most experienced hero in the main cast so he takes on the Team Dad mantle and believes he's not good enough to be a role model because trauma gave him self-loathing yet cocky ahh combo

The Ramones fan(Hobie's playlist has their songs + Percy gifted Nico a shirt of them)

Blue-coded

Owns a pet supernatural dog(Spidermutt + Mrs O'Leary)

Deadbeat birth dad

Goes by a nickname instead of his full name and has a common black surname

Terrible singing voice

That weird trauma response where you take people giving you sympathy for the extremely horrific circumstances you went through as pity and get mad('Yeah,what of it?' in reaction to being reminded of his Canon Event)

Correctly framed as the coolest ever in-universe(Percy specifically to defy neurodivergent stereotypes)

6'something,guitarist hands and described as so attractive it shocks other characters

Born and raised where punk started(England and New York)

Psychologically incapable of being posers or selling out(Hobie's canonically afropunk personified and Percy's canonically immune to wanting power or authority)

The comics Spiderband is a cooler version of Steve Rogers(Karl/Jason),a snarky black girl genius(Riri/Annabeth),a #relatable /pos gnc brown girl(Kamala/Piper)and a biracial red-coded rowdy tomboy(Mattea/Clarisse)

'I'm not a hero because calling yourself a hero makes you self-mythologizing','I was this cool the whole time','It's a metaphor for capitalism','I don't believe in comedy-just kidding!','Kid's an anarchist,taking a crap on the establishment,i salute you','Oh boy!Humbling reality Spiderman has arrived','Just don't enlist until you know what war you're fighting in' and 'It's propaganda bro'

*Authority figure irritatedly tells him he's not helping defuse the situation* 'Good(Said with a troublemaker smirk)'is Percy's interactions with the gods all the way to The Lightning Thief

Loves the sea enough to live in it(Hobie's houseboat)

Black and darkskin with a multietchnic background(Hobie is jamaican-ugandan-english and Percy is black monoracial but with american,dominican AND greek heritage)

Percy's not a 'bumbling idiot' but a professional insigator

Hobie making reverse racism real on George's ass before forcing him to leave Gwen a comforting note from him and a gift Watch he diy'd/Percy sending The Olympians Medusa's head after slaying her and writing a note to include saying 'with best regards'

These panels

And these caps

Big Percy Energy™️

If dangerous ideas didn't excite the imagination, we would never wander astray.

AKA the Gaang in an Arcane AU

it's dumb fuck tuesday reblog if you're nothing

The mdzs character who gets the worst treatment by fandom is by far Wei Wuxian. Like he doesn't even get good discourse, he's just instantly turned into a Manic Pixie Dream Necromancer, a little uwu gremlin who is so badly treated :( by everyone :(( for no reason :((( like war crimes and torture WHO, wwx has never done anything wrong?? none of it was his fault because he's CLEARLY the protagonist, and anyway he's literally a neurodivergent queer minor??

It's genuinely so sad, Wei Wuxian is such an incredible character because of how flawed he is, and because of how often his flaws contradict his best impulses!! He's incredibly compassionate with zero empathy, he's self-destructive and self-sacrificing and self-centered, he's talented and arrogant and brilliant and kind and callous. he's the moral heart of the world and he commits horrors that nobody else has even thought of. he's That Bitch, and wwx stans just file all of what makes him shine until he's flat and bland and unproblematic and boring

like babygirl I'm so sorry they did this to you. look how they massacred my boy.

god, your best warrior needs money
