Itafushi Writers Making Megumi The Gold Smart Class President And Yuji The Troublemaker Meanwhile It’s

when i was a kid my parents bought me an inflatable doll of the Scream by Edvard Munch (??) that was significantly taller than i was at the time and i used to slow-dance with it and pretend it was my boyfriend. It had its hands attached to its head obviously so it felt like he was always a bit horrified to be forced to dance with me

Today I saw certain (I hope younger) fandom members doing a thing on twitter where they called out fandom-famous fics and saying how bad they are.

And, no. We don't do that. We aren't rude to each other like that. If we don't like a fic we move on and find one we do like. We do not go slagging it off on twitter to make ourselves look cool.

Authors, artists, video editors, gif makers: all of these people give huge amounts of their time to provide you with content for free. They don't owe anyone anything, and being cruel about what anyone makes is below us as a fandom.

The empires "sustainable/unlimited" energy initiative is exactly like imperial nations using cobalt and other materials to build their electric "environmentally friendly" vehicles and tools. So many local indigenous people are going to suffer IMMENSENSELY from this massive resource extraction effort.

I am a WHORE for “the love is requited, they’re both just idiots”

take flight

whatever you do,

do not imagine nina zenik and jesper fahey, two long-lived, powerful grisha, reunite in ketterdam to visit their friends

do not imagine them holding hands as jesper lifts his free one to trace the words, “wylan van eck, beloved friend, son and husband”

do not imagine nina leaning on a crow-tipped cane while she holds a dagger whose engraved blade says “we never stop fighting” and whispers songs of sailors

do not imagine them staying from dusk until dawn because they’ve dwelled in cemeteries together at night before, all of them together

do not imagine nina watching jesper with a silent question in her eyes

do not imagine them finally getting up, sore from so much time staying still, and heading north where there is someone else who awaits their visit

whatever you do,

do not imagine that

thank you for saying this.

mel is good at being a politician but she is a flawed person. multiple things can be true at the same time. however, for some reason, the fandom and EVEN THE SHOW are afraid of criticizing mel in any capacity. she just has to be the ✨perfect✨ character, as if “perfect” isn’t the most uninteresting and unimaginative thing a character can be.

i personally never liked mel as much as some other characters, but i can appreciate her character, because i understand why she is the way she is and because i see potentials for a great character arc. but season 2 just completely stomped on all of my expectations for her. she deserved better. we as an audience deserved better and i can’t even deceive myself that they will handle her well in Noxus.

I didn't think this needs to be said but you can't be the richest person and politician in any country, particularly one with such wealth disparity and police brutality, while also being a "good person." Reasons for that can vary from ignorance or apathy (at best) to malice and deliberate exploitation (at worst). Yes this is about Mel Medarda. Idk why some parts of the arcane fandom try to erase her wrongdoings? Flaws give a character depth. You can recontextualize the nuances, which I love doing too, but thats an entirely different thing than trying to pass it off as being 'good'. She's infinitely more interesting with her flaws than if she were just pure and good like the fandom + writers tried to make her seem.

(This goes for Heimerdinger too, you don't get to be in charge of an entire country since its founding without being responsible for the way it turned out. Yet he got killed off before the story ever grappled with that, which frustrates me to no end. But that has more to do with how the writers mishandled the Piltover v. Zaun conflict and we'd be here all day if we went into that)

Idk, flaws to me are a positive thing. Characters with them are fascinating, and characters without them are dull. I will always prefer and fight for interpretations of characters that accomodate flaws while also staying true to who they are. The more, the better imo (provided they're still in-character, I too dislike seeing people hallucinate flaws/ wrongdoings/ motives that have no basis. "If you're going to hate them then hate them accurately etc. etc").

And personally I much prefer the version of Mel that actually takes into account that she is a powerful and wealthy politician who used different forms of manipulation and exploitation for personal reasons. Those reasons are interesting and incredibly nuanced (stemming from her experience with her mother). I don't really have faith in the arcane writers anymore (stuff that the writers have said really worsened my opinions on s2), so all I have is blind hope that whatever spinoff they do with her goes in that direction.

And before anyone misinterprets this: no this isnt a hate post. Its the opposite actually. Im describing the interpretation of mel that i love and have loved since season 1 (before the writing took a nose dive). If u look thru my blog u can find a post I did before s2 came out where im praising how morally ambiguous she was. So yeah i have receipts. If u dont love mel at her inaction corruption era then you dont deserve her at her magic empath era.

I had another concept come to me today for Masquerade porn. Victor seeing tattooed Yuuri in a yukata for the first time and being shooketh.

and it slips off his shoulder and Victor can see all the colours underneath that stand out against the black fabric. shbbvf

So this happened today on @captain-erwinmerica‘s twitter. You can bet your life on it that I’m not able to ignore such trains of thought. ♪

whatever it takes
