I recently saw a post that said Charles doesn’t have anger issues, just trauma, and something about it rubbed me the wrong way. The point they were making was valid-ish, how anger isn’t the core part of his character and his anger comes from how messed up his childhood is, but the way they said it painted anger as this evil and vile thing, which is incredibly harmful to people who do struggle with it.
No, Charles’ trauma is not his core, but it does make up a large part of how he interacts with life (death). Anyone who has been through a lot of trauma will tell you that it colours every aspect of your life, and it takes time to work through it. Charles’ anger is not a bad thing, he should be allowed to be angry to let out everything he keeps inside, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t struggle with that anger.
He grew up in a violent household, that affects someone. He has a complicated relationship with anger, and that means he pushes it down until he snaps. That’s an anger issue. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad person, he’s probably the kindest person in the show (besides maybe Niko).
Anyway, I mean no hate to the person whose post I saw, I just felt the need to address it. Our society treats anger as if it is an evil trait (see Edwin’s reaction. That was extreme, he says. That’s how people view anger, and it’s wrong), and to see Charles struggle with his anger issues but ultimately be such a good person is very gratifying for those of us that also struggle in similar ways. Maybe someone smarter than me can put it better, but I needed to get this out.
Charles Rowland has anger issues, and that’s okay
MY CAMEOS HAS ARRIVED PEOPLE.
I have sent a few, this man is INSANE I have sent the last one only about an hour and a half ago max and I already got that somehow??? After I just got the others???
Anyway this is the first one!
I'm actually writing a fic about Edwin and Charles fencing for fun at the office I loved to hear about the helmets so much!!!
I'm going to use some of the words he said in my fic, other are welcome too! Edwin is such a posh/ affectionate fencing fits him so well.
I want Desire and Edwin to meet so badly (Desire would so LOVE to torture them (I love my little blorbo so much he's adorable that's why I want him to suffer💗)). I like the fics where Desire helps the boys to figure things out but also speaking about canon Desire, they are a menace, a meeting with them would be so angsty. They are gods they don't really care for mortals, they would love to cause drama and angst. They would love to torture this repressed (although he is a bit more comfortable now he's still more of a stiff person in general) sad boy that has so much yearning and so much drama potential between him and his best friend.
Yucky already said he wants to bring them in season 2 I'm sooo waiting for this drama I just know it's going to be good.
Anyway, posting my other cameo requests soon!
SAME
I need a sequel!
Shiloh was so good.

FUCK YEAH I AGREE WITH YOU!
SHILOH WAS SO FRICKING GOOD.
It made me laugh, it made me cry, it's the best cops piece of media I ever saw/read.
SHILOH IS FRICKING AWESOME AND THAT CLIFFHANGER WAS FRICKING ILLEGAL. I'm going crazy because of it.
I need Shiloh to continue so bad!
okay i feel like i have to explain myself to all the nevermore lovers out there that I ABSOLUTELY ADORE NEVERMORE i just have a very very VERY strong emotional attachment to shiloh and its my absolute favourite
Like I said, there aren't any rules of being mixed. Myself Blitz is also mixed with something else as well?
I am curious to find some answers as well I have so many questions about the spikes in his back myself.
Why the hell does Blitz have those weird spike things on his tail and back??? No one else has them. It might just be the type of Imp he is, (I think Striker called him a Bull Imp?) But Fizz is the same type and he doesn't have them???
How much I can know and control my situation more thanks to that. I'd get power high.
Another day, another Dead Boy Detectives question! ✨
In the hopes of getting the fandom tag trending and getting more eyes on Dead Boy Detectives, please use the tag "dead boy detectives" when you reblog to reply.
Today's question:
If you were a psychic, what do you think you would like most about your powers?
Can people stop making Damian homophobic just because he's the "brat" child?
His best friends are bi and ace his aunt is a lesbian and his adopted brother is also bi. Some of the people Damian loves the most are LGBTQIA.
Damian was such a good ally to Jon during DC pride 2022- he was ready to fight homophobes in the parade! Mostly because he wanted to fight in general but still he was ready to kick homophobic asses. Very ally of him if you ask me.
Stop with the homophobic Damian jokes, if anything Damian would dislike everyone equally and not because of who they are.
In my eyes this take on him is a very poor understanding of Damian's character.
Edit: It might be just me but I saw "jokes" that made Damian homophobic, especially towards Tim, and it just makes me irrationally mad.
Edit 2: sorry to the arrow fam fans for mentioning Connor, I know the 2021 is a poor interpretation of him and not very in character. It's still canon, and the pride issue was nice.
do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.
hyperfixation please stay with me long enough to complete the project. hyperfixation do not fade. hyperfixation finish what you started for the love of god
Question number 11 on your reblog!
What animal would you like to see personified in DBD?
Ohhhhh
This is hard. Because of crows weren't already out of the options crows/ ravens would be the animal I'd pick.
My favourite animal is wolves but all werewolves adaptations I saw so far are extremely bad adaptations of wolves.
This is extremely random but I'm an autistic person with special interests in animals so probably some sort of Indian exotic small cat. They have a lot of extremely exotic cats I really like them even though I'm more of a dog person. I'm actually huge on dogs I'm just obsessed with India's cats life.
And this show seemed to be worshipping cats anyway.
So yeah, any type of lynx, Caracal, leopard cat, Rusty Spotted Cat, or any of the other tons of cats types they have. Just some sort of an exotic Asiatic cat, one you don't usually see. That's what I want.
(but also a unicorn so it could spray Charles and Edwin rainbows and make those old timey boys embrace their gayness and get together already/j)
I gotta know because Tumblr seems to love Meow Morales like crazy
Call me Rubèn!! Or Ru / Ben if we're friends.✡️🌈 no pronouns/he/they/it.Used to be multi fandom, mostly Dead Boy Detectives right now. I swear this account had other subjects before.Usually mostly DC but I spit out a lot of random fandoms shit.
