#invincible discussion

I get that power-scaling fictional characters against each other is fun yet I can’t help but feel the irony of it when it comes to the characters in Invincible, particularly between Viltrumites, since one of the core ideas that the show explores is about how physical strength is not the supreme mode of expression and survival.

The invincible fandom is deeply fascinating to me because on both Tiktok and Instagram my many drawings of invincible as a trans girl blew the fuck up for example on tiktok i went from around ninety followers to over 400 after the first post of Marcy

However this means these posts are my first real exposure to 'hate comments ' ( not a fan of that term because like all social media is bread for negativity but also like my art could be classified as rage bait)

This animation got a lot of negativity on insta the animation itself is bad but of course that's not what those people commented about

I got a few slurs some straight nazi and soooooo many unfunny reaction images

Anyway because the fandom on other platforms is id exclusively edgy straight guys i did expect this it's just a fun observation

Edit: I forgot to mention multiple people commenting on my posts had cropped porn as pfps including Dek from the newest predator moive and Toph from atla

all the reasons Eve and viewers give for it not being a good time to have a baby are true, but the bottom line is that Eve didn't have to have a baby yet. that's the only justification she needs

"No, William. This isn't something I want. There's no way I'm ready to have a...baby"

TW: Rape mention

Since neither the show or the comics explain why Thaedus rebelled against the Viltrum empire beyond him being against their ‘evil’ and ‘tyrannical’ ways (and according to Thragg he came back from an unspecified planet and started to talk about ‘mercy’) then I propose my headcanon that Thaedus is the first ‘queer’ Viltrumite.

Queer as we know is an umbrella term that means not conforming to the heteronormative beliefs and attitudes of a society. So…

I mean queer as in, relative to Viltrumite society because…

Viltrumites pick their ‘mates’ based on a claiming system where a stronger one picks who they get to reproduce with, in other words they rape each other, and it’s purely for reproductive purposes because we know they don’t have intimate relationships and they’re ONLY form of connection with each other comes from respecting strength which translates to their violence and brutality so a Viltrumite not wanting to engage in that worship of strength and brutality is what then?

Their procedural and violent way of looking at reproduction is their equivalent of performing heteronormativity so a Viltrumite like Thaedus who is critical and repulsed by the overall violence perpetuated through Viltrumite occupation is arguable their equivalent of being queer.

Plus…

I just feel like the entire concept of a queer Viltrumite shatters their entire identity as a species because of how obviously patriarchal it is, (and as we know patriarchy exists to reinforce harmful heteronormative ideas) I mean yes their space fascists and Kirkman made them diverse so the story doesn’t have to tackle White Supremacy but their whole hyper masculine existence can’t be separated from patriarchal and heteronormative ideology because that’s literally what created these ideas in the first place.

The hatred for this character is purely because she is a black woman changemymind. I have seen people put her on the same level as Atom Eves dad wtf why. Alot of criticisms I have seen can also be made about every super hero love intrest ever.
