Cant Believe That This Is How This Scene Actually Went (x)

I was looking through the Helluva critical tag today and I had some thoughts about how Vivzie writes her traumatized characters after seeing others complain about it. The way that Vivziepop writes her traumatized characters is so infuriating to see as someone who has "ugly" trauma symptoms and it reminds me of how writers tend to approach writing traumatized characters who don't have "soft" symptoms in general.

There is definitely a place for representing traumatized characters with anger issues and personally I'd love to see this actually done well without demonizing nor avoiding accountability for the character. However, Vivzie cannot hold her characters accountable, because if she does, then it takes away from them being her sad soft uwu babies. Loona physically lashing out at people is just seen as a funny joke instead of something Loona has to actively work on. Blitzo SAYS he's going to change how he treats Moxxie in Truth Seekers, but he never does and the show continues to treat Blitzo's behavior either as a joke or as just something for the audience to go "uwu so sad" at. Angel Dust out of all the other characters is the most tolerable to me personally, and I understand that we really only know how he acts from the pilot and the Addict video. However, I agree with other people that sometimes he acts way too aggressive and he isn't held accountable for that by anyone except Vaggie, but the audience is just supposed to laugh at Vaggie being mocked for no reason. I hope that in Hazbin the writers make him ACTUALLY complex, and give him a mix of kind and standoffish moments while showing his journey to opening up and being more friendly to people. I don't want him to be another Blitzo and it would be a shame if he went to waste.

It feels like writers, mostly neurotypical ones, don't know how to write these types of characters without either implying that they can never heal or making them avoid accountability. Even characters who I enjoy like Catra have issues with them. Catra gets held accountable in season 4 when Adora and Scorpia leave her for good, and she has to earn back Adora's trust by sacrificing herself for Glimmer in season 5. However, the show makes her redemption arc last for only one season, so everyone is forced to completely forgive her in a short amount of time when it would have made more sense for everyone to save her from Horde Prime, but still be cautious around her before fully trusting her. The season also doesn't even focus a lot on Catra getting new coping mechanisms other than Melog, and it feels like Catra's personality and symptoms change too quickly.

I'd love to see a story have a character with anger issues from their trauma or any other trauma symptom that's seen as "scary"/"ugly" (control issues, doing things to push others away because you think you don't deserve them, etc.), but actually handle it properly. It feels like stories will either treat the characters as a lost cause or act as if everyone is mean for not wanting to be bullied or outright abused. It is not a Vivziepop exclusive problem, but one that makes me upset to see in any context. If writers can't even handle writing general trauma victims or characters with PTSD who have "scary" or "ugly" symptoms, then I'm very scared of how writers in the future will tackle other lesser written mental disorders that are often caused by trauma (BPD, ASPD, etc.) My biggest hope is that more people who actually experience these symptoms (who don't excuse bullying people with them) will write characters with these issues, because so far it seems like I can only find other mentally ill people understanding the nuance properly.

Does anyone else think that if Severus had met Lily when they were already in school/ young adults instead of as children, he just wouldnt like her?

im not anti-lily but i genuinely believe that sevs love for lily was more ' this is the only human being that has shown me real love and care without ulterior motives' and less 'romantic'

So Gumball is crossed but not SU?

Some finales from this era brought tears and happiness to our eyes

Others….. not so much

Anime L deserves better wtf

My Spicy Onion: L Lawliet Iterations

1. Manga L

Origami Frog. He is the detective cryptid Mothman told you to stay away from, but you didn’t listen, and that’s how you ended up talking to him in the back alley of your local ice cream shop, trading information about your long-lost hopes for three pieces of exclusive Scandinavian candy, only found in a small shop in Syrjäntaka, Finland. General Score: 6/10, he cleans his ugly, dirty feet on The International Bill of Human Rights, but hey, at least his smile is cute. 

2. Anime L

The Gremlin-Ghoul Chimera. His true self is black coffee mixed with poor life decisions, chronic depression, and half your weight in sugar, topped with strawberry frosting that’s actually three months expired, but you don’t have the heart to throw out because it was a present from the noisy neighbour who you know looks into your trash. General score: 5/10, his cursed moments only seemed to be enhanced by the animation.

3. Japanese Live Action L

Who Needs Eyebrows With Deductions Like These. A human glow-stick made out of untamed big brother potential, nostalgic contemplation, and cream puffs; he tried his best, and succeeded, but the waves of regret over the results are just as big as his desire to solve cases fast and furious. General score: 8/10, he’s a sweet, brave, adorable asshole who just wanted to eat cake and serve justice. 

4. Drama L

Now That’s An L That I Could Get Into. He’s the fashion blogger gay friend that you’ve never actually seen eat a vegetable in the twelve years you’ve known each other, the one you’re too afraid to ask for advice, because you know he will stream all your secrets to his 6.9 million subscribers, and then he’ll smile at you and you’ll forget he ever did such a thing. General score: 10/10, this boy knows his angles and his cases, he’s my perfect, imperfect boy.

5. Musical L

Kermit The Singing Frog. He’s the witch friend who has a hundred bottles with spells and a black cat named Sushka that he swears it’s his familiar; he is always awake no matter the time or day you call him, and whenever he enters a house he also says hello to the spirits nearby, because, c’mon, he’s a bit of a meddler sometimes, but he’s not that rude. General score: 8.5/10, his songs grabbed my heart, just to smash it into tiny pieces in the finale.

6. NoteFlix L

See If I Give A Shit, Light. Art student whose blood is 45% Starbucks latte at this point; if you try to tell him that art isn’t important, he’ll take a picture of your face, photoshop it into a fursuit, put it on a billboard in the interstate, and call it “Fury in Furry: a commentary on the consequences of pissing me the fuck off, mixed media”. General score: 4/10, he did an amazing job, but not even him could save such an awful script.

7. Bonus round: SilentReaper L

Classic DeviantArt, Babey. If you had your first Death Note phase in the late 2000s, it is virtually impossible you haven’t seen this bad boy; if you look directly at him for twenty seconds and then close your eyes, I can guarantee you can smell the hairspray you used throughout middle school. General score: 5/10, the perfect mix of canon L and fanon L.

It makes me SICK to my stomach to know that Stolas has only pictures like this on his phone.

Pictures of a grumpy Blitz who obviously looks like he couldn’t hate being in his presence more. Pictures that show him that whatever they had really wasn´ t what he told himself it was. In one fucking night he is losing ANY proof that the thing between him and Blitz was more than fucking and him just hanging on to a thread to feel something. 

Then meanwhile …

Blitz is the one who has a picture of him and Stolas being together. ANd he is genuinely smiling. He has the proof that beneath every fucked up aspect of their relationship, there are true feelings. That he cares. 

AND STOLAS CANT FUCKING SEE THAT NOW !!!

ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new 'gang' way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone.

Im sorry that I choose my favs with my pussy and not my moral compass. Wish I could be as boring as the rest of you

i feel really uncomfortable with fans who refuse to acknowledge the subtext and massive red flags around Greg’s horribly controlling parents and go ‘well they were normal, Greg is just an immature man-child’

like, i’m sorry, but at what point do you see someone who hides all their personal possessions in an air duct, legally changes his name and abandons his family forever, and sent unopened letters to his family for years, and you just go ‘they’re regular parents, he’s just being a coward’
