#was i wrong

[princesspufflesposts]

confession; when I read the first hunger games book in middle school I thought Peeta was so annoying but also thought Katniss had a crush on him and was denying it because it would be too embarrassing to admit you like someone that annoying. and blond even worse

Me, describing Taskmaster normally: "you can watch Taskmaster because it's hilarious or you can watch it for the plot, or you can do both.

The plot is middle-aged man yaoi with power exchange, btw"

not my usual post but i just wanna know, was i wrong for this?

this took place over a year ago but it still bothers me because i’m wondering if i shouldn’t have said anything. i’ll trying to make it as short as possible

i was friends with this girl and she was a part of my friend group. she basically made me her best friend and i didn’t mind because i did love talking to her. but she was quite male centred and she would insult our mutual “friends” alongside getting with other people’s exes right after they broke up including me TWICE. it bothered me but not to the point of losing my mind.

anyway, at some point the insults just went too far and it began to make me uncomfortable. most of the time i’d just ignore her or correct her but at some point it’s like bro, you say these are your friends why are you calling them ugly? also she got dropped by everyone because she was fat shaming one of our friends

so i confide in one of the friends that she was talking about, and i basically tell her everything because it was taking a toll on my mental health. then the original girl gets confronted, she says it’s all my fault that she lost all of her friends, she blocks me and yeah.

so i spoke to my mom about it and she told me that i should’ve let girls be girls because gossiping is part of what we do and whatever. she told me that i shouldn’t have said anything. but i thought the fact that i wasn’t saying anything was what made me so uncomfortable. so, was i wrong?

I'm noticing an interesting trend regarding Astarion and his fandom characterization. Let me preface this by saying I know how damaging trauma can be and I know how difficult it is to unlearn those things. That being said, I feel like there is this habit of equating Astarion being an asshole with the trauma he went through at Cazador's hand. And like, fundamentally Astarion is a selfish person, not necessarily a cruel one, but his selfishness does often lend itself to cruelty. This is especially obvious in Act 3 when, even after you've done his full quest-line, even if you've gone the "good" route, he still disapproves of kind actions. Like helping the clothing shopkeeper whose literally in the process of being murdered by that weird serial killer dwarf. One could argue it's a discrepancy between the cut-scene conversations and the gamplay at large but lbr that's not the way fandom tends to view things. An argument could be made that he has two centuries of damage to heal, but I think it is also just as likely that Astarion is an asshole. Like, fundamentally just kind of a dick. Lord knows villains get woobified at the drop of a hat, and I'm sure he will inevitably will be, but this strange justification of his behavior bothers me. He's still just as a valid as a victim of Cazador if he's not a kind person. His selfishness feels very baked in, very intentional and honest. He can be both, ya know? He can be traumatized and in need of therapy/healing, and he can also be aware that his actions are selfish enough that they frequently come off as cruel.
