I don't care if they're the highest grossing movies on planet freakin Earth, you say "Avatar" and everyone and their mom still thinks that bald little bitch and his magic cow. Soggy James can keep his millions, he'll never have the streets.

oh my god

[forgedbywhimsy]

I’m starting to think yall are just racist; I heard so much shit about Wyll’s dad and how unfair he was about Wyll’s situation but this nigga is just?? Normal???

He apologized to Wyll and thanked him for his sacrifices for the city. What is the problem here

[doomhamster]

Near as I can figure out? The general opinion is that

1) Ulder should've known that his son could never ever do anything wrong, no matter what things looked like,

2) Ulder should've prioritized Wyll's safety over that of the city he runs (nobody ever seems to explain what they think Ulder could DO about Mizora or the pact, or why they think Mizora would let Wyll stay with his dad after she deliberately revealed the pact and made Wyll look bad in order to cause a rift between the two), and

3) when the Ravengards met again, Ulder should've known instantly that Wyll had come to rescue him and been properly grateful instead of initially hostile, despite the whole "got mindfucked two different ways in the last week" thing.

And then on top of that you get a ton of weird interpretations of what's actually in the game. Wyll says he learned about justice and honor and standing up for the little people from Ulder? Nah, not possible. Wyll says he didn't really miss his mom growing up because he and his dad were so close? Obviously not true. Wyll's most harmonious memory is of sword practice with Ulder? Wow, Wyll wants so badly to be a good boy he's actually convinced even HIMSELF his childhood was good.

...so yeah, I think some of it is people's generalized "my dad sucks and I hate him so any character I like needs to hate theirs too", but a LOT of it is not wanting to believe that a Black man can be a good dad or a good leader.

[forgedbywhimsy]

See that’s my thing!!

Like I’m still in the middle of Act 3, but interacting with Ulder I’m just like;

The man obviously prioritizes his responsibilities as the protector of Baldur’s Gate first and foremost and it can definitely attribute to the strain between him and Wyll.

His relationship with Wyll is absolutely a tragedy preyed upon by Mizora and Zariel (who I’m learning had conflict with Ulder due to his involvement with Elturel (much to still learn)) and the politics of being in charge of keeping the city safe, but watching the son you raised be the key for your enemies.

It’s giving the same reading as Gregory and his dad from Abbott Elementary, or even Maribel and her Grandmother in Encanto.

I love learning about about Wyll in this story because of his love for the city and his father, and its so goddamn interesting to see how despite the bullshit circumstances that occur he doesn’t seem to personally hold it against anyone. Like he takes it all and stride and tries his best to keep his head high.

And I knew going into this that the general fandom that they throw him off to the side for favor of other characters. But to hear all that, and then actually get to see his story and how much is bastardized??

It makes me ill.

[irisity8]

As someone who’s done several different campaigns of bg3 (where I romanced Wyll in most of them) I suppose I was just very disappointed in the lack of care that Larian took in regards to Wyll and his father. Two specific things come to mind:

1: If Wyll decides to break the pact with Mizora (also you make this choice for him which seems crazy to me imo) you then have an interaction with Counsellor Florrick the next day where she gives you the Wyrm’s rock quest. Now that’s all well and good, but if you then go save Ulder from the Iron Throne before you do the Wyrm’s Rock quest, he just repeats everything Florrick told you (it’s almost IDENTICAL) and the quest doesn’t progress at all. It just feels like an obvious oversight that has never been fixed and it ticks me off when other characters can get fixes in updates but not Wyll.

2. Shadowheart’s parents will have special dialogue with you if you save them while romancing her, but Ulder doesn’t if you’re romancing Wyll. Once again, this is an oversight where you could’ve added more details to their story, but Larian decided it wasn’t important enough.

Also I really wish Wyll had a flashback scene like Shadowheart does with the day he made his pact. I think it would’ve done a lot of heavy lifting to make people more invested in his story, but instead of getting to watch it play out we just get to listen to him talk about it. Pretty much all of my grievances with Wyll and Ulder come down to “I wish Larian cared more” but I don’t think they’re unfounded. Wyll is still my favourite character at the end of the day.

you should read Trigun bro the main character is Jesus but also Cain and his genocidal ecoterrorist twin brother is Abel but also Lucifer at the same time. They're kind of Adam and Eve too but later on the evil twin is also Noah. The protagonist Jesus guy has a homoerotic friendship with a priest whose gun is shaped like a life-size cross and the priest guy is Judas but also The Bride Of Christ™. There's canon trans rep. Transhumanism too. DID rep. Physical disability rep. Did I mention Jesus has a huge ass and wears leather bondage fetish gear everywhere. The other most important characters are a couple of insurance agents. Somebody is named Midvalley the Hornfreak

Vash seeing Wolfwood

[gabbolovestea]

oh Wolfwood you're down BAD

[need-him-pregnant-poll]

NEED👏THAT👏MAN👏PREGNANT *SEASON TWO* ROUND 3 POLL 24

TUMBLR! Who's getting pregnant?

Jonathan Harker (Dracula)

Nicholas D. Wolfwood (Trigun)

Voting ended onMay 17

PROPAGANDA:

[Jonathan]

"Dracula probably has weird vampire pregnancy powers and also all those scenes in Dracula's castle were so weird in a homoerotic way. Either that or Mina gets him pregnant (which good for her, Mina is the best). Jonathan loves his wife very much and he'd love to have her babies."

"I just want him to give birth to Quincey and have a happy life after this whole vampire bullshit."

[Wolfwood]

"Wolfwood loves kids SO fucking much. He'd be an amazing dad, and I truly believe that kids would be one of relatively few ways to save his life in canon. Knock him up already!"

Wolfwood propaganda from last season

[irisity8]

Please vote for Wolfwood!!!

[hashtagloveloses]

vashwood is so crazy like he says he wanted to spend his tomorrows with him, he says he is reason enough for him to fight, their first and last interactions are commenting on each other’s smiles, they change each other so irrevocably and there is fear and trepidation but they are also so in step and natural with each other from day one its like they invented soulmates i think of them daily

[irisity8]

All the ponies I’ve made in Tomodachii Life so far :D credit to Ariinu on Tiktok and Instagram for the design of Twilight and Fluttershy (I designed Sunset myself, just heavily influenced by their style)

[calugaritsa]

just finished trigun maximum and. god. what if you fought every single day of your life to be a peaceful and unselfish and loving person and in the end there was absolutely no reward. just none at all. the dead don't come back. the world doesn't change. you get to live, the song of humanity continues to be sung, you get no more.

when i was first reading trimax i didn't (couldn't?) take legato seriously until chapter 80. and i had to really sit with that and think about why i was only able to conceptualize him as a legitimate character after learning that he'd suffered horrendous abuse. and what i realized was that i think media has almost trained us to not take these kinds of ‘crazy’ everyone-must-die i'm-da-joker-babey characters seriously because they're so over-the top, but trigun takes a look at that villain archetype and says ok, let's look at this for real, what would cause a human being to genuinely act like this?

the signs have all been there. his entire thing is overriding other people's autonomy and forcing them to act against their wills while fully conscious. i could pick up that there was also some sort of weird sex thing happening with him, but i couldn't quite put my finger on it. it was the combination of the strange things he does with his tongue, the way he eats (in his first scene he's eating a hot dog lol.), the way he genuinely enjoys forcing other people to do things they don't want to, the way he speaks and acts so submissive and servile towards knives, even when i first saw him in that coffin i was like 'is this a weird sex thing because i truly would not put it past him'. i saw it all but i hadn't put it together -- because, again, how many times do you see a villanous character who's perverted just for the vibes, simply because 'oooo sex is scary and taboo sometimes so let's make our villain a little freak'. instead of like. oh. this is a person whose experience with sex is so fucked up that he doesn't know how to cope with his experiences other than 1) grovel at knives feet and 2) reenact violations of autonomy on other people.

you spend 14 volumes thinking 'what the hell is this guy's problem' and then it’s worse than you can even imagine. you have to reconcile the worst things that can happen to a human being happening to the worst human being you've ever met. you finally understand that this is someone who has not once experienced kindness, who sees all human interaction through a lens of pain and sex and power, someone who actively wants to die and the only thing keeping him alive is fanatical devotion to a man who kinda hates him. he fell wildly psychosexually in love as a child with this guy who is indifferent to him at best and hates him at worst, but any treatment is better than the way he was treated before so he'll take anything he can get. being ignored or belittled or crumpled to pieces for his disobedience is better than being raped for it.

and it feels really late in the story to drop such an important piece of information but i think it had to be this late because we had to build up all these themes of abuse and power and childhood and autonomy and sex for 14 volumes. things the story has alluded to but never looked at outright, well, now let's look at it. directly at it. you can't look away. look at the cycles, look at humans treated and traded like objects, look at bystanders who do nothing, look at the way abuse can create monsters and the cycle continues. the volume primes us for the chapter by focusing so heavily on vash's idea of how understanding other people leads to connection. he says knowledge can't justify a person's actions but you never know the full picture. we all know so little. but if you take the time to know someone, you humanize them. you can deal with them from a place of mutual understanding. and then chapter 80 begins with vash asking legato why he serves knives. i don't think that was a flippant question or a distraction, i think he was really trying to understand him. which is why i think the later chapter 80 flashback is legato continuing to speak to vash, and vash truly listening. survivor to survivor. i think it makes vash's earlier dialogue in volume 12 and their battle in volumes 13-14 hit so much harder if legato spilled all that to him outright and vash knew.

personally i think there should have been at least one episode where sokka collects aang and zuko and is like, “looks like we’re running low on supplies.  time for a GUYS-ONLY field trip.  three days of hunting and fishing and polishing our swords.  y’know, manly warrior stuff.  (aang, sotto voce: actually sokka i’m a vegetarian as you know–)  you girls have fun sitting around braiding your hair and talking about your crushes” and then the entire episode is just zuko and sokka lying around by a river, plucking blades of grass and staring up at the stars confiding in each other their deepest feelings and most secret insecurities while aang braids flower crowns, and whenever the screen cuts back to katara and toph and suki, they’re fighting and screaming and hacking away at river pirates and evil spirits and legions of assassins and hired mercenaries with swords.  you know, as girls do.

and when the boys finally drag themselves back to camp (they stayed up way too late discussing what true leadership really means and whether or not power always corrupts)  they find suki and toph and katara lounging around with black eyes and fresh bruises and bloodstained weapons and sokka shrieks, “what were you guys DOING while we were gone???”  and karata just shugs innocently and says in her sweetest voice, “oh, you know.  just girly things”

they are absolutely still wearing the crowns and they don’t have a single fish to show for their efforts
