Yue Qingyuan owes nothing to Shen Jiu himself and as the plot significantly changes due to Shen Yuan, there's nothing more for him to take responsibility for by the end as Shen Yuan exonerated him from any further responsibility to move on. Don't argue this with me as any what if's are unwarranted, needless and useless semantics.
Several documentaries publically treating Luigi Mangione as guilty before his trial even started got released over the past 2 months.
Here's the billion dollar companies behind them.
Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free
Remember gadreel?....
How the arc was: sam was dying after the trials and dean was desperate to save him n on the brink of shaking hands with Death, dean tricks sam n stuffs an angel into him (aka rape) ? .... n then how it led to:
And
And then all this?:
That led to idiot dean doing this
& you know what the kicker is? - all of it - completely unnecessary š...
Its just a Massive plot hole OR a very clear indication of deans selfishness being clearly portrayed: let me explain-
- they had OG Death still around back then - Billie wasn't in the picture and so there wasn't a reaper'-"fatwa" on the winchesters n "losing 'em in the empty"-campaign yet...
Dean & tfw in general ALREADY KNEW HOW TO SUMMON n make deals with Death- hell, dean did it just to shove sams soul back n they were still allies at that point just before in s8 (&again in s10/11)
Not to mention, they ALSO knew how to make deals with reapers - THEY'D literally used it to help Sam complete his 2nd trial in s8, just earlier!....
So it wasn't like an angel possessing sam was literally the ONLY option available to dean to save his dying brother- he could have reached out to Death or reapers or literally anything else!....
Hell, when gadreel showed dean sam chatting to Death - that alone should have given him an idea to make a deal with death or reapers ....
Point is - he could have let sam die n then brought him back as he'd done before...
why was violating sam the 1st and only option he considered at that point? - especially KNOWING how sam would feel about it?- hell he even said it to gadreel....n then proceeded to do the exact opposite
dean is supposed to be the "genius at hunting and lore" - he knows all sorts of things about all sorts of gods n beings even if he didn't deal with death - & we know it was hours they'd spent in the hospital if not days ... he could've been looking for options - but it's clear he hasn't been...
but no, nothing else considered n sam raped by proxy and violated by the person he trusted the most - because to dean sam wasn't a human being, just this living-doll he possessed n carried around with him, labelled "little brother" like a toy a boy carries around for his own comfort....which is why sam is EXACTLY right when he said: "you didn't save me for me, you did it for you"
If not for Dumbass,selfish deans decisions, none of this would have happened:
Kevin not killed, his mom not killed
No moc!dean n demon!dean
maybe metatron still and gadreel but differently
No darkness released n dumb undercooked "return of mary" doesn't happen
No Charlie dying - hell we could had Kevin AND Charlie - it'd be hilarious to watch them together!...
Maybe they still get Jack n Rowena n return of lucifer etc...but at least sam wouldn't have to face the horrific reality of his beloved brother violating him
the funniest part about merlin is the fact that heās even around for most of the show. like what the fuck is he doing there. no other person with a personal servant is tailed like arthur is. and yet nobody fucking blinks an eye at his presence.
like there are at least three separate occasions where the plot for an episode is uther sending arthur on a super secret confidential mission with the fate of the kingdom at stake, and they have a whole conversation like āi need you to understand the importance of the secrecy of this mission.ā āunderstood father, i will take only my most trusted men.ā āno arthur, you and YOU ALONE must go.ā āi understand.ā and then it cuts to the super secret mission and fucking merlin is just there. like. road trip with my best buddy. what a view. love this horse. like ARTHUR?
everyone always forgets he exists the second a fight happens, too. every goddamn time the knights go on a short patrol that god forbid merlin not tag along for they get attacked by bandits or whatever and merlin doesnāt even carry a fucking sword and after the fight arthur always turns around and merlin is just kinda standing there in the middle of the fight picking at a hang nail. nobody considers it wild that heās there for all of this. the one time he actually bothered taking a sword off a dead guy to defend himself with arthur saw him holding it and he mocked it like ālol the fuck are you of all people gonna do with thatā THEY FULLY EXPECT HIM TO JUST STAND AND WAIT FOR THE FIGHT TO END
I donāt know if anyone has ever done this before but, here ya go⦠The Different Types of Fanfiction!Ā
I probably left a few out, but these are the most common, compared to their base fictionās canon plot. Enjoy! XD
hate to say it but the key to having things solved by big company customer service is you just gotta stretch the truth with them. or straight up lie. actually. was on the phone for 3 hours because they sent something to the wrong address and spoke to 10 different departments trying to figure out if anyone could go fucking get it and they're like "uhhh but can you go get it" bitch I'm 8 hours away by car, I don't live in the house where you sent it.
took a moment to think, called back and was just like. Hi. My package was stolen off the porch!!! Saw the cunt steal it myself!! Anyway can you please send new things to this other address for free since that's your policy for stolen goods thank you~ā ! and it was immediately solved.
what scott did to derek in the season 2 finale wasnāt a violation, it was poetic justice and derekās well deserved comeuppance for being an inhuman, incompetent flop as a an alpha, werewolf and person. derek knew he deserved it, thatās why he accepted it and never held it against scott. not to mention that by inconveniencing derek for a few seconds, scott single-handedly defeated gerard and the kanima and saved derekās and everyoneās life at the warehouse. plus, he made derek a better person
Look. I know you like Scott. But I need you to understand that what youāre saying is not only factually incorrect, but the implications of it are really hurtful.
Scott suffered a lot because he was bitten without being given a choice. Peter attacked him and turned him into something he never wanted to be. That is horrible for him, and I feel for him. What frustrates me so much is that he had his autonomy taken away from him, he suffered a huge injustice, and instead of protecting other peopleās rights to choose, he decided to take away their choice the same way it was done to him. He shamed and insulted Erica and Boyd for their decisions to take the bite, completely negating their abilities to make their own choices. Derek didnāt attack them. He told them the risks, he explained what the bite was and what he expected back from them if he gave it to them. They asked for the bite. That was their choice, not Scottās.
First off, Derek did not deserve what happened to him. A rape survivor who lost his entire family in a brutal fire that his rapist set and had his big sister murdered by his own uncle, did not deserve to have his body used without his consent to give what he considered a gift to the father of the woman who assaulted him, and it in no way made him a ābetter person.ā No. You need to be more careful about the things you say, because sexual assault survivors shouldnāt have to read horrible things like what you just typed out and sent to me. I should not have to read it.
Second, Scottās motivation behind what he did was not justice. It was pride, a disregard for Derekās bodily autonomy, and maybe even an actual urge to help with the Gerard situation. You could even add revenge to the list, since Gerard threatened Scottās mom. And I have to point out, if Scott is really the amazing person that youāre claiming he is, then āpoetic justiceā should never be something he is aiming for. Good people donāt do the thing that is the most āpoetic.ā If Scott were as empathetic and kind as people claim he is or the show tries to tell us he is, he never would have done that to Derek, no matter how much he disliked him. There was no reason why he couldnāt have told Derek what he had planned and gotten Derekās permission to do what he did. Scott kept the secret from him because he felt like he had the right to make decisions about Derekās body without Derekās consent. He did it because he wanted to be the one with the secrets for once. He outright admits that he kept the secret āBecause you may be an Alpha, but youāre not mine.ā He wanted to prove that Derek couldnāt control him, by hurting Derek and forcing him to give what Derek considered the greatest gift a werewolf could bestow, to the father of the woman who murdered Derekās family. That is cowardly, childish, and apathetic, and it directly contradicts the idea that Scott is in any way True Alpha material.
Third, nothing he did was single-handed, because Derek isnāt an inanimate object or a tool. Heās a person, and without him, Scottās plan wouldnāt have happened. Without Deaton, Scottās plan wouldnāt have happened. Scott did not act alone.
Fourth, Derek didnāt accept what Scott did, and he did hold it against him. He felt so unsafe with Scott that he didnāt even tell him about the Alphas over the summer, didnāt ask for his help to find his Betas, because he didnāt think Scott could be trusted. Scott had already sold him out once and Derek had every right to believe Scott would do it again. (Which he then did at the end of S3A when he went to join Deucalion and left Derek unconscious in an elevator, in a hospital about to be swarmed with cops.)
Fifth, everything you are angry with Derek for, Scott did as well. So if youāre saying that Derek is āinhumanā and a failure of an Alpha/werewolf/person, then you must be saying the same thing about Scott. Yes, Derek threw his Betas around and injured Isaac. Scott also threw Isaac into a wall twice (without even the pretense of training him) and dug his claws into Liamās (I think it was him) neck without his permission. Yes, Derek chained his Betas up on the full moon. Scott abducted Liam and duct-taped him to his bathtub without explaining anything heād done to him, and Iām pretty sure (though I donāt remember it well) that he was involved in Liam getting chained to a tree at one point. Yes, Derek kept secrets from his pack under the pretense of āprotectingā them. Scott also kept the truth about how Allisonās mom was bitten from her, letting her believe for months that Derek brutally attacked her mother for no reason, and lied to Kira about her losing control of her kitsune (though I also donāt remember a lot of that plotline). He also lied to Stiles about whether Lydia liked him, after making out with Lydia (who currently had a boyfriend) in the coachās office, which is just a dick move, whether it was the full moon or not. Derek told Erica to seduce either Scott or Stiles? Scott told Allison to go on a date with Matt and KISS HIM. Derek scared Isaac away by shouting at him? Scott shouted at Allison for doing something sheād already told him she was going to do, and for telling her parents something sheād already warned him she was going to tell them, and told her to stay away from him. Derek shoved Scott against a wall? Scott shoved Stiles against a wall on his first moon! Oh, Scott was scared/frustrated/having trouble with control? Well, Derekās sister had just died and Scott was about to expose the entire supernatural secret to a lacrosse field full of people.
Sixth, Scott didnāt defeat Gerard or the Kanima, and he definitely didnāt save the warehouse full of people. Gerard wasnāt dead after getting the bite from Derek. He had enough energy left to tell the Kanima to kill everyone in the room, and escape while no one was looking. The Kanima wasnāt defeated by Scott, it had Allison by the fucking throat and it only backed off when Stiles hit it with his goddamn Jeep and Lydia came out to face Jackson. Scott had nothing to do with that. Lydia is technically the one who saved everyone in the warehouse, and Stiles was her ride. Scottās contribution was negligible. It was a time waster. He could have accomplished the exact same thing by just standing there and talking to Gerard until Stiles showed up with Lydia.
Seventh, Scottās behavior was indeed a violation. And I donāt just mean the bite he forced Derek to give Gerard. He didnāt just get revenge on the guy whoād been rude to him and arguing with him for the last few months. He lied to Derek, over and over (while also avoiding ever technically lying, in much the same way Deaton often does, to avoid being caught out by his heartbeat). He learned Derekās plans and where Derek was hiding, insinuated that he wanted to be part of Derekās pack (knowing how important pack was to Derek), and outright yelled at Derek for supposedly keeping something from him (Which he wasnāt. Derek canonically wasnāt holding back any secrets from Scott at the time, unless you count the fact that Peter was alive, which Derek had every right to assume Deaton had already told him) all while he was the one working for Gerard. (That is literally gaslighting. Like, literally.) He exposed Derek and his pack to Gerard, feeding him information on the same kids that he insisted were āhis responsibilityā that probably helped Gerard get ahold of Erica and Boyd to torture them. It was a violation of Derekās consent. A violation of Derekās trust, of Erica and Boyd and Isaacās trust. And a violation of Stilesā trust as well, since Stiles had no clue what Scott was doing.
You came to my ask box after seeing the various posts that Iāve made, with documented moments from the show and well reasoned arguments and frustrations with Scott McCallās character. Are you seriously telling me you didnāt think Iād have a comeback?
I think what scares me the most about fandoms like MARVEL and Stranger Things is the amount of people who think that just because there are unrealistic concepts in most of the movies/episodes that all of it is unlikely to beĀ ārelatableā orĀ ārealisticā, when, in fact, that is not the case.
Civil War is between a bunch of superheroes with advanced weaponry and impossible abilities. But what people donāt seem to realize is that the very thing theyāre fighting over is so much like our world and its politics that you donāt realize how much damage youāre doing by taking one side over the other. If youāre Team Iron Man, you were actively for a law that would limit the rights of enhanced individuals (voluntarily or not) just because of how muchĀ ādestructionā they caused trying to save the world from worse threats. And, we can see that by the end of the movie, theĀ āroguesā were trapped in the Raft (a highly secure prison made for villains like Rhino, Electro, Shocker, Goblin, etc.) and Wanda, a sixteen-year-old who was manipulated into being experimented on, was even in a straight jacket. They were locked away because they tried to fight for their rights as enhanced individuals against men who either: were not advanced, or had the privilege to take their powers off (Iron Man and his suit). While you may consider this as fiction and nothing more, this is real to lots of people all over the world who are fighting for their lives and rights every day against men like Ross and Tony.
The same applies to Stranger Things, that, although is based around monsters and scientific concepts that are near-to-impossible in our reality, still contains themes that may be relatable to struggling children and adults. We see that in the very first season with the Byers family, and how they were all traumatized by Lonnie and his mental/physical/emotional abuse. In the second season, we also saw the relationship between Billy and Max, which ultimately led to multiple fanfics trying to portray Billy as anything but a monster. A manipulative, romanticized monster whose actions were brushed off simply because of his troubled childhood.Ā
āItās literally fictional/a fictional character. Itās not that deep.ā Maybe it doesnāt apply to you or anyone you know, but to many, those topics are a constant in their lives.
