the way Thanatos guilt trips Zagreus immediately upon finding out he was going to leave without saying goodbye and then turns it from sincere hurt into a dick-measuring contest, and then restarts the dick-measuring contest every time they run into each other is such a Young Adult Dudes Using Toxic Masculinity To Avoid Feelings situation that I saw right through his bullshit. He’s not a dick, he’s just a dumbass.
Naw this is a wildly bad interpretation of both their first interaction but also their subsequent ones. I gotta write a rebuttal later cause I get tired of seeing this surface level analysis as their dynamic.
Okay, so, point the first: you don’t follow me, we are strangers, this tone is inappropriate and does not represent your blorbo well
point the second: I have talked to him twice for a grand total of three minutes, there is literally no reason for me to give a shit about him yet and if this is what his fans are like I likely will take his keepsake and never speak to him again outside of his events
point the third: if I want spoilers I know how to search them and I have friends who can give them to me in a less rude fashion
So maybe your next pithy comment should include an apology perhaps ijs
Apologize for what? I didn't realize Tumblr had turned into such an aggressive place wtf.
for just rolling up on me to tell me my take is “bad” and “surface level” when you are a stranger who does not know anything about me or my interactions with a game I literally only started on the 22nd (so six days ago?) and acting like I have caused you personal offense by not immediately vibing with your dude.
Like, it’s a five year old game and perhaps you have been reading “bad takes” the whole time, but it’s all new to me, which I have mentioned in my other posts about the game, which you didn’t see because you’re not following me.
Your reblog had a very “fuck you: strong letter to follow” air to it. I checked with three friends to see if I was taking it wrong and they validated my reaction. So. Like. Maybe don’t do that to strangers? Block and move on? This is my house???
I can't follow on a side account.
I'm not apologizing for anything especially with this kind of a response. Your post showed up in the hash tag. If you want your takes to stay private then make them private and don't use tags.
I'm fairly certain your friends are biased but thanks for checking with them. My advice is before interacting in a fandom space, learn how they work. If my post had a "fuck you" tone to it then that's on you with the aggro way you chose to respond.
Anyway, play your single player game however you want. The fact that you would let a stranger online mess you up this badly is weird, and for my own sanity I won't be interacting with you again. Bye.
